Looking at his eyes from chest height, he looks like a pair of beautiful black gems.

Tosaka Tokitomi once again felt that this girl was a treasure that the Tosaka family had obtained for five generations, a rare gem equivalent to a miracle.

Rin Tosaka.

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

Shi Chen came to Chancheng's house in the evening of this day, but he did not intend to step through that door.

The current Shichen is one of the masters who seek the Holy Grail, and he has long placed himself in the land of Shura. In order to protect his wife and daughter, he entrusted them to Chancheng, a territory that was not allowed to be stained with blood.

Rin looked nervously at Shi Chen, who was speechless. The girl's instincts told her that her father didn't just come to see her, he had something important to say.

Shi Chen had originally made up his mind not to see his daughter until the end of the battle. However, the news of Father Rimasa's death that he received suddenly last night made him shaken.

Yan Fengli is a friend of the previous generation of the head of the Tosaka family, and he grew up watching Shi Chen. The reason why Shi Chen has the confidence to win is largely because of his support.

Shi Chen is not the kind of mediocrity who is at a loss without his backing, but it is also an indisputable fact that he has always been convinced that a dark cloud called "just in case" suddenly appeared on the road to victory.

After the sophisticated and stubborn priest fell, Shi Chen's confidence was also reduced by half.

Until yesterday, Shi Chen believed that the Holy Grail was in his pocket. And after losing his reliable companion, he also made all the preparations and entered the battlefield as a combatant.

Maybe this was the last time he spoke to Rin......

(What should I say to her...... ）

“......”

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

Shi Chen knew that his daughter had respect and longing for her father.

He knew that what he said to Rin today would definitely affect his daughter's future path in the future.

No, there are no doubts about the future, it has long been decided. Rin had no choice but to take over as the sixth patriarch of the Tosaka family.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this idea that Shi Chen has a little guilt towards his daughter.

He crouched down and placed his hand on Rin's head, a gesture that made the girl's eyes widen in surprise.

Seeing his daughter's reaction, Shi Chen remembered that he had never touched her head 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...... You will help the association before you become an adult, and you will have to judge the path after that. If it's you, you won't have a problem on your own. ”

Shi Chen was still a little hesitant, not knowing what to say. But now, as soon as he opened his mouth, he began to gush on.

There are a lot of things that need to be communicated. How to deal with those treasures in the family, that is, gemstones, and the things that have been passed down from the master, the practice of the underground workshop...... And so on, Shi Chen grasped the key point and explained one by one to Rin, who was listening carefully.

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 Tosaka family.

Say something off-topic.

Tosaka Tokitomi is definitely not a genius.

Compared with the successive heads of the Tosaka clan, his qualifications can only be regarded as mediocre.

The reason why Shi Chen was able to become a qualified magician was largely because he had faithfully followed the family precepts.

That's why he can always be calm and elegant.

If you want to get the results of "ten", you must pay "twenty" efforts. Gracefully and calmly passing through all kinds of cruel training, this became the creed of the ministers. If you insist on saying what makes him stronger than others, then perhaps there are only two things: thorough self-discipline and self-denial.

At the same time, the father of his master and the patriarch of the previous generation should have foreseen how difficult the journey his son would take with the demonic path as his ambition. So, when he 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 that he has cultivated since he was a child has left him with no other ideals 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.

Tosaka decided to enter the devil's path through his own will, determined not to be at the mercy of fate.

It was this consciousness that gave Shi Chen an iron will. Since then, he has been sustained through the harsh days of cultivation, and it is this pride that "this is the way of life he has chosen".

(If only I could give Rin the treasure I got from my father...... ）

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 an all-elemental, five-fold compound attribute, and the other is an external element: the void attribute. Both sisters possess rare qualifications that are equivalent to miracles. This is beyond the scope of so-called natural talent, and is almost equivalent to a spell.

With Rin's talent, it should be easier for him to understand the mysteries of the Demon Dao 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.

For the trials she will face in the future, if she can't give any guidance and never return, is such a Tosaka Toshichen a competent father?

With such a question, Shi Chen once again condensed his thoughts into the hands placed on Rin's head.

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 the answer to Shi Chen.

There is no need to apologize to this child, and there is no need to worry about her future path. Facing the proud son-in-law of the Tosaka family, the dying previous generation no longer has to ask for anything.

"Rin, the Holy Grail will eventually appear. Claiming the Holy Grail is the duty of the Tosaka family, and more importantly - it is an inevitable path as a magician. ”

The girl nodded firmly, her eyes filling Shi Chen's heart with pride.

Even when he was connected to the patriarch, Shi Chen didn't feel so proud.

"Then I'm leaving. You know what will happen in the future. ”

"Yes—you're good to go, father. ”

Rin replied 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.

His gaze is full of trust and encouragement.

She looked back at him 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, which is far from grace.

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

If you still feel guilty about your daughter, it must be your own failure.

In front of Rin, if he wants to be a father who can hold his head high, then Tosaka Tokitomi must become a perfect magician.

Only in this way can you use your own hands to complete the demon path of the Tosaka family.

Be a truly perfect father worthy of teaching and guiding his daughter.

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

Head to Fuyuki City again.
