Chapter 50: The Past
The sunset bloomed with the last remnants of light before leaving, and the sunset in the sky was very gorgeous. But no matter how gorgeous the scenery is, it will eventually dissipate with the passing of the sun. In the dusk before the night, a couple stood in front of the quaint house, relatively silent.
Before parting, there are always a thousand words, and there are many words to say...... But the tears flowed first.
"Father?" A childish little girl leaned at the window on the second floor and looked at her parents in front of the door.
"Father!" In the blink of an eye, she had already run to the door of the first floor.
The four eyes met in an instant, and the eternal love was speechless.
However, at this time, she can't understand the greatness of this love, because there is only incomprehensible obscurity in front of her...... and a bitter parting.
"Rin, your father has something to say to you." At some point, her mother had come to Rin's side.
The arrival of her mother gave Rin courage...... The courage to face parting.
"Yes!" Under her mother's expectant gaze, Rin ran in the direction where her father was.
The moment he stood in front of his father, family affection had already flowed in the veins of the father and daughter with the red blood.
"Rin, you make some contributions to the church before you become an adult, and then it's up to you to judge."
"You can do it alone." The father stroked his daughter's head, his loving eyes full of anticipation.
"Sooner or later, the Holy Grail will appear, and it is the duty of the Ensaka family to get it. Not to mention...... This is the path that cannot be avoided as a magician. ”
Long-cherished wishes are born from wishes, because they want to believe that they will believe, and because they are willing to believe, they will believe. Because of believing, we will practice with our lives, and we will exhaust the last trace of strength on the long road of not knowing when we will get the answer.
"Rin, here's for you." The father gave his daughter a book of magic paths.
The Book of Demons, the symbol of inheritance, is passed on to the next generation at this moment when the night is approaching, so that there is a little more trick in the meaning of inheritance and handover.
"Then I'll go, and everything will be understood in the future."
Father's eyes were as deep and wide as the sea, and he would smile happily when she made achievements, but it was this plain and kind smile that was like an eternal morning star, even in the darkest of nights, with his faint light, to guide Rin forward.
"Yes~~~~" Rin hugged the book tightly, not realizing the hardships and heaviness contained in it.
Magic, the 'fruit of life' passed down from father to son, from son to grandchild, from generation to generation. Children born into a family of magicians, from the moment they are born, are heirs and inheritors, they are born for this and they die for it. In the long years and rigorous cultivation, it is the duty of the magician family and the obligation of the inheritors to turn a newborn child into a magician who dedicates his life to the devil's path.
"Go all the way, Father~~~~" Until the end, Rin was still looking forward to seeing his father again, looking at the back that was gradually moving away, and the tears of parting finally welled up in his eyes......
Early the next morning, Ueya's room
"It's ...... What's wrong~~~~~~~~~" In the ripples like water, Kamiya opened his eyes.
"I ...... Crying? "The feeling of tears running down my cheeks is unusually clear.
The tears of parting add new waves to the long river of memory, waving goodbye arms, and the ...... But it's the heart.
"Huh~~~~~~ is it Tosaka this time......" Kamiya wiped away the tears from his face, but the immature and strong little face seemed to have been engraved in his heart for a long time, and it was difficult to erase it.
"There are no cherry blossoms...... Then...... Sakura may have been passed on to Makiri......"
"When~when~when~~" A soft knock sounded on the door.
"Who~~~~~~" Kamiya casually put on a piece of clothing and walked to the door.
"That ......" Outside the door, it was Sakura's voice.
"Click~~" Kamiya opened the door.
"I'm sorry to disturb Kamiya-san, you......" Sakura lowered her head embarrassedly.
"It's okay, is it almost time for morning exercise?" Kamiya looked at his watch.
"Yes...... That~~~~ Breakfast has been prepared~~~" Speaking of breakfast, Sakura finally regained her courage and raised her head.
"Oh, I'll get dressed right away~~~~" Kamiya turned around and went to get his clothes.
"Yes......" Sakura left a little disappointed.
"That~~~~ Thank you, Sakura~~~" Ueya made up for the thanks he almost forgot just now.
"Huh? Not...... It's okay~~~~" Sakura, who was thanked, finally disappeared from the sense of loss in her heart. With her hands on her chest, she had a happy smile on her face.
What an ordinary thing to give and get in return. However, it was such an extremely ordinary thing, but it made Sakura so happy.
Emiya's house, living room
In the early morning, the living room is still full of all kinds of breakfast, and it is worthy of being called a dream paradise by Fujimura-sensei that "can automatically appear for three meals".
"Good morning~~~~~~~" Everyone who arrived one after another exchanged greetings.
"It looks like you slept well last night~~~~Rin~~~~" Saber, who was enjoying breakfast, also teased Rin.
"That's not true, after all, someone is still making a fuss after twelve o'clock in the morning~~~~" Rin, who was obviously sleepy, skimmed the side of the palace in pain.
"Also, we're going out today, so let's get ready~~~~~"
"Where are we going?" Wei Gong asked lightly.
"Go to the neighboring town ~~~~"
"What are you going to do?"
"Do you still need to ask~~~~~ of course I went to play~~~~~~"
"Date~~~~Date~~~~" Rin added arrogantly at the end.
"Dating? Who is dating whom? "The Emiya is even more messy.
"Me and Shirou, you~~~~~~"
"That's it~~~ I'm going to ...... with Tosaka"
"About ...... Eh!!!!!! "The extremely painful Emiya erupted.
Looking at Rin's youthful and energetic every move sitting opposite, Ueya's face showed a ...... that was completely inconsistent with his age A nostalgic smile.
Rin Tosaka - not just a double ponytail, not just a big lady, not just tsundere and lack of money.
I remember the first time I met her, she was so kind and upright in the face of the choice of fate; At the moment of the decisive battle with Berserker, she was so determined and brave in the face of an invincible enemy; Even after such a bleak farewell, she still did not shed a single tear in front of her father, and did not let his father worry about herself.
On the long road of life, everyone admires her achievements in all aspects and admires her excellence. However, who has seen the sweat and effort she has put into her life? Who will share the weight of her carrying everything alone? The edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and at this time, Kamiya found that he was only a stone's throw away from him, and he was always so optimistic and cheerful in life, and he was brave enough to move forward with Sister Tosaka...... It's so beautiful and dazzling.
