Now This Is More Like It! (Continued)

Rovey asked with some suspicion, "She could never have forgotten something like that."

Although Aoko herself has a somewhat wicked sense of humor, she would never betray her students. Therefore, she shouldn't have kept everything from Rin Tohsaka and let that silly girl take the risk.

"Oh, Ms. Aoko disappeared a month ago. The letter she left behind said that if I had any information about the Holy Grail War, I could just ask my father when I got back to Fuyuki City. My father knows more than she does."

Soon, Rin Tohsaka's next answer successfully dispelled Rovey Wei's doubts.

"Tokiomi Tohsaka?"

Upon hearing the name, Rovey nodded.

No wonder, as expected, Aoko wasn't trying to trick Rin Tohsaka, that silly girl. Rather, he was explaining things to her. As one of the Three Families, Tokiomi Tohsaka undoubtedly knew the most about the Holy Grail War.

He was, after all, one of the survivors of that war.

It can be said that after Matou Zouken died, he was the only person in the world who knew the Holy Grail War. In addition, he was Rin Tohsaka's father, so it was reasonable for Rin Tohsaka to go home and ask her father.

Only...

"Have you asked your father?"

Rovey Wei asked Rin Tohsaka.

He's not home.

Rin Tohsaka replied helplessly.

"Not home?"

"I came home early this time, only to find out that my father had already taken my mother on a trip and I don't know when they will be back."

"Really..."

Upon hearing that things had gone wrong, Rovey's lips twitched involuntarily, but his heart remained completely unmoved. After all, it was perfectly reasonable for Rin Tohsaka to run into trouble.

It's a tendency to mess things up at crucial moments...

However, he couldn't help but ask her out of curiosity, "Didn't you call him?"

"My father doesn't know how to use a cell phone."

Rin Tohsaka replied.

"And what about your mother?"

"I don't know her phone number."

"..."

This time, Rovey was completely speechless.

You're absolutely amazing, kid.

After listening to Rin Tohsaka's account, Rovey Wei roughly understood what had happened to this unfortunate child.

Aoko somehow managed to restart the Holy Grail War, and chose Rin Tohsaka, a native of Fuyuki City, and the Three Families to participate.

Furthermore, since Aoko knew very well that Rin Tohsaka was actually Sakura's Tokiomi Tohsaka, she simply assumed that Rin must know a lot about the Holy Grail War, so there was no need to explain further and she could just go back and ask her father. Therefore, she didn't explain it clearly.

And coincidentally, perhaps influenced by the Holy Grail War ten years ago, Tokiomi Tohsaka seems to have become more detached now. He didn't pass on the Holy Grail War as a family wish to Rin Tohsaka, but instead kept it a secret and didn't explain it to Rin Tohsaka. Furthermore, he, who had been diligently studying magic, went on a trip and is no longer in Fuyuki City.

This has resulted in Rin Tohsaka, who has just returned, being completely unaware of the true nature of the Holy Grail War, and now she can only participate in this Holy Grail War in a daze.

After understanding what had happened to this guy, Rovey couldn't help but feel sorry for the unfortunate child.

But then she thought about it again, and realized that she was lucky to have met him. With him taking care of her, nothing bad would happen.

Furthermore, he believed that since this Holy Grail War was related to Aoko, she would definitely not act recklessly and would be careful not to let that silly girl Rin Tohsaka be in any danger.

Only...

Rovey still couldn't understand why she wanted to restart this ritual.

Reaching the Root?

There's no need for that. Aiwass is in London. With His guidance, reaching the Root is not a problem.

Isn't Ayaka Sajyou also in this world?

No, that's not right.

Upon careful reflection, although the Holy Grail can be used to reach the Root, the purpose of the Holy Grail War is to fulfill the wish-granting machine.

Since this ritual has been restarted, it means it's for the Holy Grail.

Desiring the Holy Grail means having a wish that needs to be fulfilled.

And what about Aoko's wish...?

He seems to know what it is?!

No wonder this was an experimental project she assigned; if it's really as he thinks, then everything makes sense.

After considering a certain possibility, Rovey's expression became somewhat strange.

At the same time, I became even more nervous about meeting them later.

Because if things aren't handled properly, the situation could even escalate.

They've even produced the Holy Grail, and it's already prepared and in progress.

"What's wrong with you again? Did you think of something?" Rin Tohsaka asked Rovey curiously.

Why do I get the feeling that you're being mysterious and a little neurotic this time?

"Ah, I have indeed thought of some rather troublesome matters, and I'm considering how to handle them appropriately."

Rovey nodded. "But things might get a little tricky next."

"So you do have some troubles. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka pondered for a moment, then inquired.

"Help me..." Rovey shook his head slightly, then replied with an extremely serious and helpless expression, "You probably can't help me, because this is a trial."

"???"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka was completely bewildered, having no idea what Rovey was talking about.

"Sigh, never mind, I do need your help with a small thing right now."

After much deliberation, Rovey, unable to find a reliable solution, sighed softly. He then looked at Rin Tohsaka beside him and asked, "You just said that no one is home right now, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Rin Tohsaka nodded.

"Could I stay at your place for a while?"

Rovey spoke earnestly.

"Ha?"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka raised an eyebrow slightly.

--

--

So...

"What do you want me to do? Let me make it clear first, I won't do anything illegal or disorderly, and I will never sell my soul or body."

Inside the Tohsaka Family mansion, Rovey stared speechlessly at Rin Tohsaka's smug expression, feeling as if something bad was about to happen.

"Don't worry, I don't want your soul, I just need you to sell your body."

"???"

Upon hearing this, Rovey quickly took a few steps back.

"Are you a pervert? How did the Tohsaka Family's tutors fall to such a state?"

"No, don't worry." Rin Tohsaka smiled, like a mischievous little devil who had just pulled off a prank. "It's definitely not the kind of betrayal you're thinking of, and it only requires you to give up a tiny bit, just a tiny bit."

"Why do I feel like it's even more dangerous now?"

Rovey looked somewhat suspicious, but out of trust in Rin Tohsaka, he still asked her.

What exactly do you want me to do?

"Oh, you know, Mom's not home right now, and my house is quite big, so I need a capable housekeeper." Rin Tohsaka patted Rovey on the shoulder with a mischievous grin. "So, for now, you can be my assistant."

"Oh, so that's what it was..."

Upon hearing this, Rovey stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "It doesn't seem so hard to accept after all."

After all, I am her elder, so it is only natural for me to take care of her while I am staying at her house.

"Then it's settled."

"Anyway, come with me outside and help me carry my groceries inside." Rin Tohsaka's eyes darted around, then she said, "I'm going shopping again today, so you can come and help me carry them too."

"Moving things?"

Upon hearing this request, Rovey Wei looked at her warily, "You didn't buy some sofa or TV and want me to move it, did you?"

"Don't worry, we don't have much of that kind of stuff at home, just some clothes, nothing more."

Rin Tohsaka waved her hand, then left with Rovey.

"It's just clothes..."

Hearing her words, Rovey didn't doubt her; instead, he wondered if he had thought too badly of Rin Tohsaka.

However, as he walked, it suddenly occurred to him.

Shouldn't you take the clothes with you?

Why did she just use the word "move"?

--

Not long after, in a clothing store.

"I don't want this, this, and this. Please wrap up the rest for me."

With an arrogant air Rin Tohsaka pointed to the clothes in several cabinets, then waved her hand, practically buying up half the store's inventory.

"Hiss!"

This air of wealth made Rovey raise an eyebrow.

Although he had seen far more wealth than this, and even got along well with Gilgamesh, the oldest and most powerful dog, the presence of such a wealthy woman in Rin Tohsaka still made him gasp in surprise.

When did Rin Tohsaka was known for her poverty, become like this?

Has the world become this insane?

And that's not the main point.

He glanced at the dresses in front of him, each with a chest size clearly too small, and, feeling a pang of pity, reminded them, "Even if you bought one of those dresses, you still wouldn't be able to wear it, would you?"

"How could that be? You can wear it, you definitely can!"

Hearing Rovey's well-intentioned reminder, Rin Tohsaka snatched the obviously oversized dress from his hand, then waved it in front of her and began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

"If it's used as a cushion or simply slides down, wearing it as pajamas doesn't count..."

Rovey imagined what might happen next.

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka's forehead veins bulged.

It's hard, it's hard, my fist is hard.

Although she really wanted to punch him, her inner voice told her that she had to be elegant in public, she absolutely had to be elegant.

"No need for further words, I want them all!"

So she stopped arguing with Rovey, Rin Tohsaka bought another large batch of clothes with a wave of her hand.

Then, clearly wanting to get revenge on Rovey, Rin Tohsaka smiled and looked at the shop assistant who was enthusiastically asking her if she needed a special transportation service, and replied, "No, someone will help me carry it back."

"..."

Seeing this, Rovey was speechless.

This guy was definitely getting revenge on me.
