Chapter 8 - Chapter: 8

[Artoria]: @Irisviel, ma'am, the Servant who honors the contract and appears in this world will receive not only the knowledge of this era but also the knowledge of the Holy Grail War. The ultimate winner of the Holy Grail War can surely fulfill their wish with the Grail's help!

[Diarmait Audina]: @Kenneth, Master, perhaps Einzbern's original intention in establishing the Holy Grail War was to reproduce the Third Method, but since the war has reached the fourth iteration, the Holy Grail's essence as a wish-granting machine is true.

[Kenneth]: So what should we do now? @Kotomine Rimasa; Has the seventh Servant, the Enchanter Master, appeared?

[Kotomine Rimasa]: Not yet. The Church has not received news of the seventh Master. The Holy Grail War is always the same: if this month ends and the seventh Master has not appeared, we will wait no longer. Naturally, I will be the overseer. The seventh Master will not receive neutral protection or other privileges.

[Kotomine Rimasa]: Regarding doubts about my fairness and impartiality, I will remain the overseer of this Holy Grail War until formal orders are issued by the Association and the Church.

[Aoko Aozaki]: I don't care about your war, I only care about the video. What does this content have to do with Matou Zouken?

[Araya Soren]: Maybe it's related to the Fourth Holy Grail War.

[Cornelius Aruba]: A bunch of stupid idiots.

[Heroic Spirit Emiya]: @Irisviel; I think we know each other.

[Irisviel]: Oh, who are you? An ancestor of Kiritsugu?

Comments continued to pour in, and the screen changed again.

[In a park, Tohsaka Tokiomi's wife, Tohsaka Aoi, held a book as expected, and a man approached her slowly.]

[Raising her head slowly, Tohsaka Aoi greeted with a smile: "Kariya, it's been a long time. You returned from a business trip."]

Tohsaka Tokiomi watched the scene, his expression stiffening.

He didn't know Tohsaka Aoi and Matou Kariya had met in private.

Even though he was already a victor, and could imagine that Tohsaka Aoi was visiting Kariya to adopt Tohsaka Sakura from the Matou family, seeing his former rival in a close interaction with his wife still upset him slightly.

[Tohsaka Rin]: @Tohsaka Aoi; @Tohsaka Tokiomi; Mom and Dad, look, we are on TV! Rin can see Sakura in the video too!

[Matou Shinji]: @Tohsaka Rin, are you the sister of the new girl who came to my house?

[Tohsaka Rin]: That's me! If you dare bully her, you'd better watch out!

["Uncle Kariya, welcome back."] Tohsaka Rin, playing on the lawn, dropped her ball and ran toward Matou Kariya. In the close-up, her jewel-like eyes and sweet smile were very charming.

["Rin-chan~"]Matou Kariya smiled and half-crouched down.

["Did you buy me a gift again?"] Tohsaka Rin tilted her head, eyes full of anticipation.

["Hey, Rin, that's rude!"] Tohsaka Aoi frowned at her daughter.

["Here!"]Matou Kariya smiled, handing the prepared gift to Tohsaka Rin.

Everyone watching the Holy Grail War video saw the harmonious scene and murmured.

Is it possible?

Tokiomi Tohsaka had not only allied with Kotomine Kirei but also seemingly with the Matou family?

A line of text slowly appeared across the huge screen:

[Blackbeard]: How does it seem like these three are a family?

[Xiaogang]: Hahaha, beauties are naturally popular with everyone.

[Emiya Kiritsugu]: I heard, Mrs. Tohsaka, you and @Matou Kariya were childhood sweethearts.

[Tohsaka Aoi]: @Emiya Kiritsugu, don't use dirty tactics. I don't know why I met Kariya privately in the video, but since Sakura didn't appear, it must have been for her sake.

[Matou Kariya]: @Tohsaka Aoi, what happened to Sakura-chan? @Tohsaka Tokiomi, do you still have a heart? Sakura-chan is your biological daughter!

[Tohsaka Aoi]: Sakura has been adopted by the Matou family.

[Matou Kariya]: @Tokiomi Tohsaka, you will regret this!

[Tokiomi Tohsaka]: That's enough! @Matou Kariya, I am Sakura and Rin's father!

Tokiomi Tohsaka felt like screaming internally.

But the scene continued.

---

Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly sensed the atmosphere in the video was not right.

["Where is Sakura?"]Matou Kariya held out a second gift.

[The light in Tohsaka Rin's eyes began to fade, and it took a moment for her to answer: "Sakura… is no longer here."]

[Matou Kariya turned to Tohsaka Aoi: "Aoi?"]

[Tohsaka Aoi lowered her head: "Sakura is no longer my daughter and Rin's sister… she went to the Matou household."]

[Instantly, Matou Kariya's expression changed drastically. He stood up: "Why!"]

["Don't you know why the Matou family wants a child who inherits the mage bloodline?"] Tohsaka Aoi said sadly: "The head of the Tohsaka family agreed to the request of the ancient ally, the Matou family. I have no say. I have known this since I married into the Tohsaka family."

["If you meet Sakura, please treat her well."]

[Aoko Aozaki]: Indeed, the Matou family has a secret. I feel a bit guilty.

[Tohsaka Rin]: @Tokiomi Tohsaka, Dad, did Sakura move to her new home and suffer bullying?

[Tohsaka Tokiomi]: Don't worry, Rin, Sakura will be fine.

Moments later, the scene changed again..
