Amidst the busyness and anxiety, a new day has arrived
Tokiomi Tosaka himself didn't even know how he came here yesterday. In that state at that time, during that whole day, it seemed that there was always something he had not done, and it seemed that everything was ready?
But no matter what, they got through another day safely. Although he had been very nervous yesterday and was always distracted and vigilant about his surroundings when he was busy, at least he didn't find anything unexpected or unexpected all day long. However, his wife and daughters finally spent that precious day happily and carefree, and that was enough for him.
Now, it's the morning after the big event.
Until now, there seems to be no change in the Magic Association of the Clock Tower. This made Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was looking at today's Fuyuki City morning newspaper, slightly feel a little strange. At the same time, he was also secretly wary because, he knew, on the surface, now The calmer it seems, the more fierce the storm brewing in private!
However, in the short day yesterday, he had already prepared for the worst. Now after checking for omissions, he seems to have not found out what else he can do except passively defend and wait for the judgment of fate. Nothing can be done.
The reason why it is calm now may be because the Clock Tower Magic Association is still conducting urgent consultations on the mysterious events that continue to spread around the world. It may also be that they are troubled by the death of the two executors, or they do not Complete the distribution and division of benefits for the Tosaka family?
Or maybe they actually want to let the mysterious events in Fuyuki City sink in for a while before making any plans?
For example, right now, the morning news in Fuyuki City clearly states: The various foreign reporters, curious travelers or explorers who are not afraid of death yesterday arrived at the island country by plane and transferred to Fuyuki City by train. More and more! Even if Tokiomi Tosaka used his influence to forcefully close the airport two days ago, he could not stop the arrival of those guys who are not afraid of death!
There are actually thousands of people who flock to Fuyuki City from all over the world or from all over the island country?
They directly crowded out all the hotels, guesthouses and even temporarily rented apartments in Fuyuki City. This made Tohsaka Tokiomi's plan to secretly keep an eye on the Western strangers who came to Fuyuki City in vain, because, they There are simply too many of them now, and his forces, even if the black and white ones come together, can't keep an eye on them.
If he goes out now, he can see those foreign tourists wandering on the streets with cameras or mini video recorders hanging in their hands or around their necks. They are almost everywhere. In addition, reporters from various countries, Then it would be completely impossible to tell which ones are members of the Clock Tower with evil intentions and which ones are ordinary people.
However, for those visitors who almost crowded Fuyuki City, Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly felt: Since so many people gathered in Fuyuki City to wait to see the mysterious event that might happen again, is this right? Is it beneficial to him and means that people from the Magic Association dare not take action against the Tohsaka family at this time?
Perhaps, instead of using his influence to forcefully close the airport, he should boldly let go and allow more ordinary people to come? Then, let the guys in the clock tower be afraid in public, so that he can have more time to arrange and mediate hard. Maybe things will turn around by then?
That's right, that's what you should do, the situation won't get worse anyway!
"Hmph"
Thinking of this, Tokiomi Tosaka, who had been worried for two days, finally put down the newspaper in his hand with some relief. He decided: after breakfast, he would let go of the various orders he had given to block the news. And at the same time, they asked the Tohsaka family to immediately release the warning area of the park in the middle of the street, and let ordinary people go in to see and take enough photos!
Best, let ordinary people from all over the world come here to Fuyuki City to travel, sightsee and explore the mysteries? And the presence of a large number of ordinary people watching might really make the members of the Clock Tower take action?
After all, before this, the reason why Tokiomi Tohsaka tried his best to prevent the spread of mysterious events was because he had the same interests as the Magic Association of the Clock Tower. But now, since the people in the Clock Tower are ready to attack him, The Tosaka family had killed them, so why should he be polite to them?
He might as well just take advantage of the situation and add fuel to the flames, muddying the waters in Fuyuki City and making those guys who want to kill him miserable! It would be best to keep some people too busy to pay attention to their Tohsaka family?
If it can really be delayed for ten days and a half, that would be even better!
Of course, it was still early, so he could enjoy today's breakfast with his wife and daughters in peace, and then send someone back to arrange everything slowly.
"Please bring me a cup of hot milk tea with some sugar, thank you!"
While letting his eyes scan the newspaper aimlessly, Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly smiled and said something to his wife Aoi Tosaka.
If it were somewhere else, maybe the Tohsaka family would really have no choice but to wait and see? However, here, this is Fuyuki City, the territory that the Tohsaka family has occupied for thousands of years, and Tokiomi Tosaka's words are quite effective! And those forces in the mortal world that he usually doesn't like much can finally play a little role now.
If it was to add fuel to the flames, he believed that those people would definitely do a good job! Even, could he secretly reveal the exact location of the clock tower to them and turn the foundation of the Magic Association upside down like the whole world?
Although that may be a lose-lose outcome, it is much better than being unilaterally destroyed!
"Why, you seem to be in a good mood today. Have you thought of any good ideas?"
At this time, Tohsaka Aoi, who was preparing breakfast and placing tableware, couldn't help but asked in surprise after seeing the smile on her husband's face. In the past two days, this was the first time she saw the other party showing such a relaxed expression. Could it be that things had really turned around or that a good solution had been thought of?
"It's nothing, I just managed to think of a way to delay the time. I'll give it a try whether it works or not. Let's not talk about it anymore. It's getting late now. Let Rin and Sakura come back early for breakfast."
Tokiomi Tosaka, who has a macho mentality, obviously won't tell his wife everything. Moreover, he doesn't know whether the things he just thought of are useful. He doesn't dare to rashly confirm it now, so he can only Just try your best to fight for that glimmer of hope. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Now he does not dare to touch his wife's nerves, which are definitely tighter than his own.
""
Nodding, Tohsaka Aoi thoughtfully didn't ask any more questions, and just continued to place her things with her head down.
However, she felt that things should be developing for the better, or her husband had thought of some way to benefit the Tohsaka family. If that was the case, then she could finally feel a little more relieved.
"Sakura! And Rin! Please hurry up and come back for breakfast!"
When Tohsaka Aoi finally arranged the tableware in the restaurant and the chefs prepared the breakfast, she directly leaned her upper body out the window and waved to the small lawn not far away.
"Rin! I should have told you many times not to lie down and read like that, whether on the bed or on the lawn!!"
Just looking over there, Tohsaka Aoi raised her eyebrows slightly and gave her eldest daughter a lesson in a harsh tone.
Now she saw her two daughters staying over there, on the lawn under the tree!
My younger sister, Sakura, was okay. She just leaned quietly against the tree trunk, sitting there half-kneeling, putting the thick book on her lap and looking at it quietly, but my older sister, Rin, looked like that. Not being so honest, the other party actually just lay down on the grass, with his legs crossed back and swaying, almost the entire upper body of his body was lying on the thick book lying on the ground. .
That kind of reading habit is very bad. Reading too much can hurt your eyes or cause myopia! Therefore, Tohsaka Aoi has always strictly prohibited her daughters from watching TV or reading books in bed, and would always punish them every time they were caught.
"I didn't want it myself!"
"Mother, you may not know that this book is so heavy that it numbed my legs just now!"
When he heard that it was time for breakfast, Rin didn't hesitate. After calling his sister, he closed the magic book at once, then hugged her up with difficulty, ran back and complained loudly.
This magic book weighs several pounds. How could she hold it in her arms or on her lap all day long like her stupid sister?
"Then you can read it on your desk at home!"
"But it's more comfortable outside, and it's so hot today."
""
"Rin! You guy, can't you be a little more ladylike and come in through the door of the house?"
Before Tohsaka Aoi could say anything, she was shocked to find that her eldest daughter, after cheering and running towards us, first threw the magic book into the house from the dining room window with great difficulty. He was just lying on the window, as if he wanted to take a shortcut and crawl in through the window? !
This kind of behavior made her so angry that she quickly put down what she was holding and wanted to go over and scold him!
However, her husband Tosaka Tokiomi stood up at this time. While lowering his head to pick up the magic book dropped by Rin, he smiled and stretched out his hand to stop his wife from scolding his eldest daughter. There are always time-traveling girls who want to steal their husbands
"Okay, Aoi and the others don't have to be too harsh."
After walking to the window and reaching out to help Sakura, who was still outside the window, to take another thick magic book that was being handed over with great difficulty, Tokiomi Tosaka motioned to his wife to quickly bring in the little daughter who was outside the window. Then he turned around and gently placed the two magic books that the little girl had created under his eyes yesterday on the table of the dining table.
Originally, he had no intention of checking the two books of his daughters at this time, but now that they are all in front of him, Tokiomi Tosaka is not ready to wait for another day and just eat them while he is ready. During breakfast time, I casually read through it.
"???"
However
He had just turned over a few pages of the sky blue-covered magic book belonging to his eldest daughter Rin, when he had to stop and frown, then turned around and started to flip through the thick black and white book belonging to his younger daughter Sakura. Finally, he discovered that he didn't even know a word of it?
Because, in his opinion, the contents displayed in these two books are all ghost drawings with no rules at all? However, if this is the case, why did his two daughters watch it so enthusiastically yesterday and today? !
"Father!"
"If you want to take a peek, you can't do it! Because only we ourselves can understand our own magic books! Also, last night I wanted to secretly exchange books with Sakura, but in the end, I couldn't read them no matter what. I can’t understand hers, and she can’t understand mine!”
Seeing that her father actually wanted to take a peek, Rin leaned down on the table and grabbed a piece of bread and bit it in her mouth. Then she smiled at her father, Tosaka Tokiomi, who wanted to take a peek. He said sarcastically.
They already figured it out yesterday. Only they can understand these two books, and no one else can! Maybe the reason why these two magic books are like this is because their stingy little teacher doesn't want others to see or learn from them secretly?
"etc"
"Rin, you just said that you can understand the contents of these two books?"
After casually flipping through a few pages again, Tokiomi Tosaka could only shake his head helplessly and close them gently. Yes, he really couldn't understand a word!
"Of course!"
"Anyway, I don't know why. As soon as I see those symbols, my mind naturally knows what they mean, and then I just need to look down one by one."
"Also, our teacher Anne also said that these are magic words, which directly affect the soul, and have been bound to the owner. No one except us can understand them, and they cannot be taken away!"
Speaking of this, Rin couldn't help but think of what they had tried last night, locking two books into a box, and then thinking to herself, they suddenly appeared in her hands, and when she opened the box again, she found that inside It's actually empty?
And, that’s not all the magic! Yesterday, even if they tried to burn them with fire, tear them with hands or pour water on them, they would not break. It was so strange!
"So this is ah"
Hearing this, Tokiomi Tosaka, who originally wanted to take a peek and learn from it, couldn't help but curl his lips in boredom, then shook his head and walked back to his seat. However, now that he knew the reason from his daughter's mouth, he couldn't help but frown. For such magical things, his intuition told him that these two books seemed very extraordinary?
However, he is not in a hurry now. If they have a future later, he can just ask his daughter to retell it or record it in words he can understand and copy it down for him to read slowly. Speaking of which, after everything is settled, it's almost time to find one or two qualified tutors for his two daughters.
"Father, if you really want to read it, I can read it to you now!"
"Although some of their symbols have several meanings per word, there should be no problem if you read them out for a page or two."
That’s right, one or two pages is fine, but any more will not work!
Because, Rin originally thought that she could read this thick book in a week, but when she looked at it seriously, she discovered that she spent all afternoon and half the night yesterday, and got up early this morning, and just read the book. It was less than ten pages long, and there were a lot of things in it that she didn't quite understand. Anyway, they were different from the magic knowledge her father had taught her before!
However, even though she has only read the beginning, Rin still admires the homeless man named Ryze who signed the magic book! She felt that the other party must be a very powerful guy! Although I don’t know why the other person ran away and wandered, he should be a really knowledgeable scholar and seems to know everything?
"This matter is not urgent! Let's eat first."
"By the way, where is your little teacher Anne? Don't you need to wake her up to eat? Rin, it's very rude for you to eat first before the teacher comes!"
After rejecting his daughter's suggestion to read aloud, Tokiomi Tosaka looked out curiously. He did not see the little teacher of the two little guys in the garden outside the window, so he was a little puzzled. He looked at his eldest daughter again.
The other party is now eating on his own, which makes Tokiomi Tosaka a little dissatisfied. Although the little girl is unlikely to mind this kind of etiquette, he still hopes that his daughters can develop a good habit from an early age. Moreover, good etiquette is useful at all times.
"She said she wouldn't come for breakfast!"
"She specifically told us last night: If anyone dares to disturb her from sleeping in again, she will punish them by copying this thick magic book a hundred times!"
Obviously, after the two of them climbed the ladder to pull the hateful guy out of bed yesterday, the other party already had a grudge against them, and had set such outrageous punishment conditions in advance, so that they really didn't have the guts to knock on that guy. The wooden door next to their room.
"That's it, let's eat first."
He nodded. Since the other party didn't want to get up, Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't want to bother with it. After all, the other party was a little guest of their Tohsaka family, and he couldn't afford to offend him easily. Instead of doing that, he might as well let his family have a warm meal first. breakfast. There were so many things happening these days, and he felt a little exhausted mentally and physically, and wanted to spend more time with his family.
The most important thing is that today's breakfast is very rich!
Because, among the chefs he sent to recruit with high salaries yesterday, starting from today, they will officially take turns preparing delicious food for their family, including three meals a day, as well as morning tea, afternoon tea and midnight snacks. etc.
"Huh?! Sakura, what are you doing?"
Tokiomi Tosaka, who was just about to invite his family to have a meal together, turned around and was shocked to find that his little daughter was sitting on her own seat, holding a spoon in one hand and a small black ball in the other hand. play? !
Moreover, if Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't make a mistake, it seems that it must be imaginary number magic?
"You hateful little guy, don't show off in front of me all day long!"
Before the other party could explain, her sister Rin, who was sitting opposite, viciously grabbed a piece of bread and threw it at her sister Sakura.
Regarding this matter, she felt angry when she thought about it!
Because, now she is still in the most basic stage of enlightenment, and she doesn’t know how long it will be before she can truly learn arcane magic, but her bastard sister actually started learning magic by herself just one day later! Moreover, even though it was just a small ball of shadow energy the size of a black glass ball, it was also a real spell that could not be compared to her progress.
Now, whether it's the family's gem magic or those powerful-sounding arcane arts, she still can't even see a shadow!
""
However, facing her sister's attack, Sakura just turned her head slightly to dodge the opponent's attack, and continued to eat her breakfast with a spoon without any concern while conducting her own training.
"Rin! Don't waste food, and don't play with it!"
This time, when she saw that her eldest daughter wanted to continue grabbing other things and playing with her younger daughter, Tohsaka Aoi finally refused to compromise. She stood up directly and pulled the other girl's hand with a cold face. Er Er was carried from the table to the seat, and then helped the other party arrange the tableware neatly.
"Damn this hurts!!"
Covering his twisted ear with one hand, Rin angrily grabbed a fork, forked a piece of breakfast, put it in his mouth, and began to eat with his head down in a sullen voice.
"Sakura, what is the use of this magic in your hand?"
Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't pay much attention to the play between his two daughters. He just looked at his little daughter in surprise. The other party can materialize magic power and manipulate it. This can be said to be magic. Although it looks inconspicuous, the meaning it represents is still very significant. In his opinion, it is very amazing! Hilarious engagement: It’s good to be friends but the road is narrow
After all, his little daughter Sakura is only five years old. What kind of achievements will she achieve in the future?
"It's useless Miss Anne said that this is just a basic exercise to master the power?"
Although Sakura didn't think it would be useful to do so, but since her little teacher Annie asked her to do so, she could only do it.
From now on, she will do this every day, releasing the thing called the power of shadow and condensing it into a small ball in the palm of her hand, until she can no longer hold on and let it dissipate on its own! Moreover, only when this small ball can be condensed by her so that it looks like an orb, can it be considered an apprenticeship.
“That’s right, practice makes perfect”
"Sakura, practice well, but you must also pay attention to safety and don't hurt yourself!"
Originally, Tokiomi Tohsaka wanted to tell the other party not to use magic like this casually, but when he thought that what the other party learned seemed different from his own, after pondering seriously for a while, he decided not to interfere casually. After all, He himself can't teach his little daughter anything, and now that someone is willing to help teach him, he can just wait and see what happens!
"Then Rin, what have you learned now?"
Tohsaka Aoi looked with some surprise at the small black smoke-like ball still spinning in her little daughter's hand. After looking at it for a while, she couldn't understand it, so she had to turn her head and look at her. The eldest daughter was angry while eating.
""
Rin is in a bad mood now. She doesn't want to talk, including her mother who just bullied her!
"What's wrong with you?"
""
"Because my sister is not qualified to practice any spells before reading the first book! The book is very thick, but she only read a few pages in a day and a night."
Sakura said without raising her head. Of course she knew why, because her elder sister would not be able to learn anything in the next month, so she could only read the preface to the basics of arcana? Fortunately, she didn't have to look at that.
"Stop being so proud over there!"
"We'll see, I'm just learning the basics now! I'll definitely be able to learn faster than you in the future!"
Rin couldn't stand the way the other party acted like a villain. She decided that starting from today, she would work harder to study that magic book and try to read twenty pages a day? Then in more than ten days, she should be able to unseal the next book. By then, maybe there are spells in the new book that she can obtain?
"So this is ah"
"Okay, now you all stop making noise and start eating!"
Originally, Tokiomi Tosaka was a little worried that an unreliable little girl would teach his daughters haphazardly, but now, since the other party knew that his daughters should lay the foundation first, he was reluctantly relieved. From a few words, he could tell that the other party's magic seemed to have some kind of strict inheritance and was not random.
However, he still felt that only one month was too short to lay the foundation? For example, the Tohsaka family's gem magic, in his plan, he will not let Rin directly come into contact with any actual operations and spell casting in the next few years. He must study the theory for several years!
"Well!?"
Tokiomi Tosaka nodded with satisfaction after seeing that his family had sat back together with Kazumi beautifully and was ready for a beautiful day. However, just when he was about to get himself a piece of Chinese pastry made by the new chefs, suddenly, the manor outside his house, which was originally full of golden sunlight, green trees, and the fragrance of birds and flowers, suddenly shone slantingly. The room turned into pitch black?
If they hadn't kept the incandescent lights on in their dining room, I'm afraid that the house would have become almost as invisible as the outside, right?
"Hour!!"
Seeing this situation, Tohsaka Aoi was so frightened that she stood up straight, grabbed her two curious daughters as quickly as possible, hugged her tightly to her side, and then expressed her fear and uneasiness. He looked at his husband.
At this time, Tohsaka Aoi was the first to realize what had happened, her face turned pale with fright, and she could no longer pretend to be the gentle, graceful and generous person before.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Sakura looked at her mother Aoi with some confusion, and then canceled the small shadow ball in her hand that was difficult to control. She didn't understand why her mother Aoi became so nervous after it suddenly turned dark.
"Father?"
Rin was also a little confused as to why this happened, so she turned to look at her father who was also shocked and stood up, but had a cold face and said nothing.
Obviously, the young Sakura and Rin could not recover from the sudden darkening of the sky. They also did not know why the sky suddenly turned dark.
However, judging from the nervous and uneasy expressions of their parents, they also vaguely felt that something bad must have happened, and it would definitely not be like the ordinary solar eclipse mentioned on TV.
"well"
"I knew that what was supposed to come would come. But what I never expected was that they would come so quickly, so suddenly, and make such a big move!?"
After sighing and reaching out to drink up the already a little cold breakfast milk tea in the cup, Tokiomi Tosaka smiled miserably and took out his ruby cane.
Of course he knew what the sudden darkening of the sky meant. That was because the magicians of the Clock Tower secretly set up a large barrier around his home without knowing when, forcing his home and surrounding areas to The residents were trapped in the barrier of this huge spherical demiplane, and then it was easier for them to act after there were no witnesses?
As for the ordinary residents who were unfortunately included, they will definitely be cleared out by the enforcers later, and then they will be buried with the Tohsaka family, right?
Sure enough, the Clock Tower Magic Association's methods are still as ruthless and efficient as ever!
Fortunately, he had naively thought just now that the other party would not force himself to fight with him easily in Fuyuki City at the height of the storm. But he never thought that the other party would actually fight him in just two days. Within a short period of time, the layout has been secretly completed? !
Presumably, in the eyes of ordinary people outside, everything is still business as usual here in the barrier, right? Judging from this situation, those people in the Clock Tower are sure that they will not leave any room for them to the Tosaka family!
However, even if this is the case, Tokiomi Tohsaka will never back down or admit defeat!
"Aoi! Take care of our daughter!"
"You hide in the magic laboratory in the basement first. If I fail, you activate the device and remember, never let our daughter fall into the hands of those people!"
"Everything, I'll leave it to you!!"
After saying that, Tokiomi Tosaka didn't hesitate, and didn't care that this was actually his own home. He kicked open a floor-to-ceiling wooden window and rushed out into the garden!
Now, he has no good choice
However, he wanted to see who the executors who came today would be? In short, Tokiomi Tosaka will definitely not be easily captured. If the other party really wants to destroy the Tosaka family, then he will definitely fight them to the end even if he risks his own life!
"June of Time"
However, before Tohsaka Aoi could say anything, the other party had already rushed out without looking back. She only saw the back of the other party's red suit and dress disappearing into the darkness outside.
"Mom, is there a bad guy coming?"
Now, even the young Sakura probably knows what's going on. It's definitely like the day before yesterday, those bad guys have appeared again!
""
"Sakura! Let's go quickly and wake up that guy who's sleeping in for help!!"
Just now, Rin had been looking at her father in astonishment as he kicked the window and rushed out. She also saw that the other party took out the cane of the magic costume. It took her a while to recover from the shock, but she suddenly remembered something. , then he broke away from his mother's hand, took his sister, and ran out of the restaurant.
""
Looking at her two daughters running towards the house, and then looking at her husband who had disappeared into the darkness, Tohsaka Aoi stretched out her hand towards the darkness, and finally turned around resolutely to look for her daughter. Their footsteps were chasing outside the restaurant.
She also knows that she has no ability and just runs outside casually
