Tosaka Tokitomi is definitely not a genius.

Compared with the previous generations of Yuanhan members, his qualifications can only be regarded as mediocre.

The reason why Shichen is now able to become a skilled and respected magician is largely because he has always faithfully followed the family precepts, so that he can always be calm and elegant.

If you want to get the results of ten, you have to pay twenty years of cultivation. Gracefully and calmly passing through all kinds of cruel training, this became the creed of the ministers. If you insist on saying what is better than others, then perhaps there are only two things: complete self-discipline and self-denial.

At the same time, as his master and the patriarch of the previous generation, his father should have fully foreseen how difficult the journey his son would take with the Demon Dao as his ambition. Therefore, when the previous generation handed over the magic seal to Shi Chen, he asked his son again - "Do you want to inherit the family business?"

This kind of question is very ritualistic, and it is just a scene. As a son-in-law, Shi Chen received education on how to become a leader since he was a child. The pride he has cultivated since he was a child has left him with no other dreams in life.

Even so, it is still necessary to adopt the method of "asking questions", that is, Shi Chen still has an incomplete "room for choice".

Now that I think about it, this is the biggest gift given to him by his father, who is the patriarch of the previous generation.

Through his own consciousness, Toshitomi decided to enter the devil's path, determined not to be at the mercy of fate. It was this consciousness that gave Shi Chen an iron will. Since then, it has supported him through the harsh days of cultivation, and it is this arrogant conceit that "this is the way of life he has chosen".

If he could also give the treasure he received from his father to his daughter, Shi Chen thought sadly.

However, this is no longer possible.

For Rin and Sakura, they had no choice from the start.

One of them is a full element, a fivefold compound attribute, and the other is an overhead element, an imaginary attribute. Both sisters possess rare qualifications that are equivalent to miracles. This is beyond the scope of so-called natural talent, almost equivalent to a spell.

Demonic nature will also attract demonic nature. Prominent people who are far from being out of the equation will inevitably "induce" the same unusual experience. This is beyond the control of his own will. There is only one way to deal with this fate - consciously get out of the way yourself.

The daughters of Shi Chen had no other way to deal with the demonic nature hidden in their blood than to understand the demonic path and cultivate it themselves. And the fact that the protection of the Ensaka family can only be given to one of them does not know how long it has tormented Shi Chen. A person who does not become an heir will be caught up in all sorts of strange events because of his own blood, and will be set on fire. If the Magic Society had found out about this "ordinary person", the guys would have happily soaked her in formalin as a specimen in the name of protection.

Because of this, the fact that the Maki family wants to get Sakura as an adopted daughter is tantamount to a gift from God. Got a way to enable both beloved daughters to inherit the first-class magic path, not be bound by blood karma, and open up their own lives. At this time, Shi Chen can be said to be liberated from the burden of being a father.

But can it really be done? Shi Chen didn't even have self-confidence, and this question tormented him from time to time.

With Rin's talent, he should be able to penetrate the mysteries of the Demon Dao more easily than Shi Chen. So how painful it would be to try to escape your fate and eventually walk on this path compared to choosing to embark on this path through your own will.

If he can't give any guidance to Rin about to face the trial and just goes away, is such a Tosaka Toshitomi a competent father?

It was evening, and night had not yet fallen.

When he came to his wife's hometown, Shi Chen in front of the gate of Chancheng did not plan to step into the door. The current minister is one of the mast who seeks the Holy Grail, and has long been in the land of Shura. In order to protect his wife and daughter, he entrusted them to Chancheng, a territory that would not allow bloody violations.

The black eyes that looked at him from chest height were like a pair of gems.

Yes, that's the way it is. Tosaka Shichen once again felt that this girl was a treasure that the Tosaka family had obtained for five generations, which was equivalent to a rare pyroxene of miracles.

Rin Tosaka

Although she is young, she is already destined to be a beauty in the future. Compared with her mother's appearance, she is more of the shadow of Shichen's mother when she was young.

Rin looked nervously at her father, who called her out the door but didn't say a word. My father didn't just come to see him, he came with something very important. The girl intuitively understood it this way.

He had made up his mind not to see his daughter until the end of the battle. What shook him was the sudden death of Father Lizheng last night.

The old priest was a good friend of his father's and watched Shi Chen grow up. Under the secret agreement between the two sides, he supported Shi Chen behind his back. For Shi Chen, this is the biggest factor that gives him confidence in victory.

Of course, Shi Chen is not the kind of person who is overwhelmed without his backing. However, it is also an indisputable fact that on the road to victory, which has always been convinced until now, there has been a dark cloud called "what if". Just as the sophisticated and stubborn priest suddenly collapsed—his own faith was suddenly weakened by half.

Until yesterday, the outcome of the Holy Grail War was almost the equivalent of victory for Shi Chen. But due to the death of his reliable companion, he is now ready to devote himself to the battlefield as a fighter.

If...... This was the last time he spoke to Rin, and what should he say to the young girl in front of him?

“......”

Rin swallowed and stared at her father, waiting for him to speak to her.

Shi Chen knew that his daughter had respect and longing for herself as a father. He knew that what he said to his daughter today would definitely determine Rin's future path in the future.

No, there is no doubt about the future, it has already been decided. Rin had no choice but to take over as the sixth patriarch of the Ensaka family.

Perhaps it was this idea that made Shi Chen feel a little guilty about his daughter.

He crouched down and placed his hand on Rin's head, and Rin's eyes widened in surprise.

Seeing his daughter's reaction, Shi Chen remembered that he had never touched his daughter's head like this in the past.

It was normal for Rin to be surprised, and it was the first time that Shi Chen found out that he didn't know how to show tenderness to his daughter.

"Rin...... Before you become an adult, you will help the association, and the future will be left to you to judge. If it's you, it's no problem to be alone. ”

He had hesitated to say something, but as soon as he said it, he began to gush. He had thought about many "likes" and had a lot to convey. How to deal with the treasures in the family, that is, the precious stones, as well as the things inherited from the master, the customs of the underground workshop—etc., etc., Shi Chen grasped the key point, and Rin who listened carefully came one by one.

Although it has not yet been engraved, in fact, Rin is already equivalent to being named as the patriarch of the next generation of the Ensaka family.

Rin let his large hands caress his head, but his dark eyes remained motionless on his father. There was no uneasiness or doubt in that gaze.

"Ahh ”

This unconditional admiration and trust finally brought Shi Chen the answer - there is no need to apologize to this child, and there is no need to worry about her future path. In the face of the proud son-in-law of the Ensaka family, the dying previous generation no longer has to ask for anything.

"Rin, the Holy Grail will reappear. And taking the Holy Grail is the duty of the Ensaka family, and more importantly, it is an unavoidable path as a magician. ”

The girl nodded firmly, her eyes filling Shi Chen's chest with pride. Even when he was connected to the patriarch, Shi Chen didn't feel so proud.

"Then I'm leaving, you know what happened in the future. ”

"Yes, you go, father. ”

Rin replied resolutely in a clear voice. Shi Chen nodded and stood up. He glanced up into the room, just in time to meet the gaze of Aoi standing at the window and peering out.

Her gaze was full of trust and encouragement.

He looked back at her with gratitude and reassurance.

In this way, Shi Chen turned his back to his wife and daughter, and left the Chancheng Mansion without looking back.

Confusion is a shadow that arises from an uncalm heart. This is a far cry from elegance.

With the family motto in mind, Rin's gaze told him this again.

If you still feel guilty about your daughter, then it must be your own failure, and you can't realize your long-cherished wish through the Holy Grail.

In front of Rin, if he wants to be a father who can hold his head high, then Tokitomi Ensaka must become a perfect magician. Only in this way can you use these hands to complete the magic path of the Ensaka family. Be a truly perfect father worthy to teach and guide his daughter.

With a new determination, Tosaka Tokitomi set out on his way home in the twilight.

Head to Fuyuki again.

Soon, night will fall.

............................................

I've never seen such a beautiful dusk, obviously it's no different from the past, but I still feel that this is a beauty I've never seen before, a strange beauty.

The Japanese don't like twilight, and they think that the period before dusk is a "time of enchantment". And I believe that this is a cursed time, and that all evil spirits and ghosts will appear in the sky at this time. And those who walk alone on the road will be confused and lose their souls.

However, Yanye has never felt like this, and now he scoffs at this statement.

He thought of the person he had unexpectedly met that day, and the plan she had proposed after hearing his purpose, and Yan Ye, who was still hesitating, had slowly made up his mind. Because he clearly realized that his life had come to an end, and his state of mind at this time was probably empty to a certain extent, and there was nothing worth distracting. The goal is so clear, just continue to walk unswervingly, there is nothing that can be lost, so no longer afraid of failure.

Although he didn't understand why she would help him, he didn't care anymore, as long as he could fulfill his long-cherished wish, he had nothing to lose.

Following the direction of the setting sun, Yanye saw a golden figure on the long ramp.

Under the orange-red sunset, which was about to sink west to the horizon, a golden figure stood proudly. The dim light could not stop the darkness from blurring the pretty face, but the pair of vermilion eyes exuded a penetrating brilliance.
