“…… Mother, starting tonight, we're going out looking for fighters. Please be safe when you are alone at home and do not come out of your room no matter what you hear. ”

On Saturday evening, at Tosaka's dining table, until everyone had finished eating, Rin Tosaka finally told her mother Aoi Tosaka with an indifferent face, as if the Holy Grail War was just a sports meeting at school for her, and she could easily win the championship by running two steps.

But Ji Feng and Illyas wouldn't know, just the night before summoning Ji Feng, Rin Tosaka once again tentatively proposed to let his mother go back to her parents' house for a while, but her mother once again refused with a smile.

Ten years ago, Aoi Tosaka still had a daughter to raise, so she obeyed her husband's arrangement and returned to her parents' house with her only daughter, Rin, during the Holy Grail War; But ten years later, if this brief separation turns into an eternal goodbye again, then she has no meaning in living at all.

So she must be here - not begging her daughter to abstain and live an ordinary life with herself; Instead, they are determined to stay here, even if it is to see their only daughter lose her life in battle!

Magic has nothing to do with life and death, magic is higher than life and death.

As the sole heir of the Tosaka family, it is the honor and duty of Rin Tosaka, a young magician, to participate in and win the Holy Grail War, and as the daughter-in-law of the Tosaka family of the magic family, she must support her daughter on the battlefield, and even force her to apologize when she cowardly escapes, and act as a mediator herself—just like the daughter-in-law of the samurai family in the past.

"Well, I'll pay attention, and you have to be careful."

From now on, every separation between mother and daughter may turn into a farewell, and Aoi Tosaka has long been mentally prepared. And her graceful and gentle smile as usual was more natural than her daughter's pretense of indifference, as if her daughter was really just going out to participate in a sports conference. All she had to think about was a band-aid for her daughter, who might fall, and a sumptuous bento box for her daughter, who might win the championship.

"Ji Feng-kun, as well as Miss Berserker, Miss Illyasfil, and Sakura...... Miss, Miss Kalian, and Miss Nagato, Rin pleases you! Please come back safely! ”

Albeit...... Although she was already aware of it when she said goodbye to her husband ten years ago, she saw her daughter who had always been dependent on her. And...... A Japanese girl who has always wanted her attention to step into the darkness that seems to swallow people, Aoi Tosaka can't help but bow to her daughter's Servant and allies at the end, and earnestly ask everyone to take care of her daughter, which is the only thing she can do as a useless mother.

Aoi Tosaka is a qualified daughter-in-law, a qualified wife, and a qualified mother, so she is not all gentle, and she also has the ruthlessness that will never change her mind because of personal feelings.

If you want to manage a family, or even a family, it is not enough to be gentle and kind, and the result of over-doting is "a loving mother and many losers" - in fact, the same is true for husbands. This world is not as gentle and kind as a mother. The children and husbands who have enjoyed too much doting at home, once they are slapped by the coldness or even cruelty of the outside world, they will only cry and run home to find their mother!

"Mrs. Tosaka!

While I can't irresponsibly say 'rest assured' to you, I am here to responsibly promise –

I will definitely do my best to protect everyone! ”

Standing in a small piece of light at the door, Ji Feng turned around very seriously and made a promise to Mrs. Tosaka at the top of the steps that was not impassioned at all, let alone reassuring.

I will do my best to protect everyone...... It doesn't matter if there is such a commitment or not! What if you can't protect it even if you try your best? If you want to make a commitment, at least say that "anyone who wants to hurt them must step over my corpse"!

"Go quietly! Do you want everyone to know we're going out! ”

Maybe it's to hide your shyness. Rin Tosaka, who was the first to walk out of the house, turned around at the farthest point from his mother, and first pretended to be angry and reprimanded Ji Feng who made promises without authorization. Then he cleared his throat and said to his mother, who had just straightened up, with a calm expression:

"Ahem...... Mother also closed the door, and when we came back, she would open it herself.

So...... I went out. ”

"I'm sorry......

Bon voyage. ”

Looking at her daughter's face from afar, which was no longer clear in the dark, Aoi Tosaka could make up for her pretended calm expression with just her tone. But the woman, who was a good wife and mother from the Tosaka family's point of view, only apologized softly to her daughter, and then smiled and blessed her as usual, and closed the door tightly without further ado.

"Hoo ......" X3

Wait until a few seconds have passed when the gate is completely closed. The three mothers and daughters, who were inside and outside the room, breathed a sigh of relief - even Sakura, who had not yet learned that Tosaka's mother and daughter, who had a special relationship with him, were his blood relatives.

Being cared for by someone turned out to be such a heavy feeling. Sakura has been happily living with her adoptive father and adoptive mother since she was sensible, and she has been happily inseparable from her sister and sister since then, so she has never experienced this feeling. But what it's like to worry about others, she has a richer experience than her heartless sisters:

Worry about the father who has disappeared for ten years. Worried about the sister who volunteered to be the little grail, the sister who didn't like to talk much since she was a child, and now I have to worry about Mr. Ji Feng who must have something to do with her father, Mrs. Tosaka who is very kind to her, Miss Rin who is very kind to her, and even Mr. Emiya, Miss Kuyu, and Miss Joan of Arc who used to fight side by side with ......

Except for her mother, who has passed away, she cares about everyone she knows, and hopes that everyone will be safe. However, this girl, who started her magic practice earlier and harder than her sister and sister, also knew that the "magic world" was originally full of all kinds of known and unknown risks, and the Holy Grail War tied the magician and the Servant, who was far stronger than the magician, and it was too difficult to make everyone safe.

But she has secretly made up her mind that no matter how difficult it is, even if it is to sacrifice her own life, she will definitely protect everyone!

It's not because of bravery, it's because of weakness. It is precisely because her heart is so weak that she can't accept that anyone she cares about is injured or even killed, so she would rather be the one who is injured or even killed!

I'm sorry...... Sakura is really a weak and selfish child. But for Sakura's sake, which has always been very sensible, this time please let Sakura be selfish too! (To be continued.) )
