I, Fu Yuan, Will Dominate the Holy Grail War

"What are you doing?! And why are you back here holding Little Sakura!?"

Fu Yuan, holding Matou Sakura, turned his head to look at Tohsaka Tokiomi, whose tone was unfriendly. He slowly said, "I don't want to explain to you why right now. You just need to..."

"Shut up and just listen to me obediently."

Tohsaka Tokiomi became furious. Being proud, this was the first time he had heard Fu Yuan, this 'ordinary person,' speak to him in such a commanding tone. Just as he was about to loudly scold Fu Yuan, asking, "What right do you have to talk to me like this?"...

For some reason, Tohsaka Tokiomi suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his body. His open mouth froze, and the scolding words he wanted to say were completely stuck.

This mountain-like pressure was being transmitted by the ordinary person, who was coldly staring at him.

Tohsaka Tokiomi's heart pounded as if he were lacking oxygen, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He now had an illusion about Fu Yuan.

Fu Yuan was like a towering mountain, and he was an ant looking up at it.

He, Tohsaka Tokiomi, was standing on the stairs. So, if he were looking up, it should be Fu Yuan looking up at him from a lower position... But why did Tohsaka Tokiomi have such a reversed illusion?

The suffocating feeling, like a mountain, made Tohsaka Tokiomi swallow. And so... Tohsaka Tokiomi backed down. With cold sweat on his forehead, he managed to speak with difficulty after Fu Yuan restrained his aura, "What do you want to tell me?"

Seeing Tohsaka Tokiomi's change in attitude, Fu Yuan nodded with great satisfaction.

This sense of satisfaction was like...

Recommending JoJo to someone who disliked its art style, and then, with your 'help,' that person becomes captivated by JoJo's charm.

Fu Yuan stopped his strange train of thought, then took out his phone from his pocket. He then said to Tohsaka Tokiomi, "I'll show you something. Once you watch this recorded video, you'll understand why Little Sakura returned to the Tohma Family with me."

"Recorded? Video?"

Seeing Tohsaka Tokiomi's completely bewildered expression, Fu Yuan paused for a moment, then thought about it and suddenly understood.

It was because Fu Yuan remembered that the old-fashioned magi of the Nasuverse would resist technological products, and Tohsaka Tokiomi was one such old-fashioned magus.

Therefore, this Tohma Family was an 'ancient' place without even a television or a washing machine.

Ever since the Knight of the Round Table in Britain passed away, the mystery in this world began to fade. Magi, in order to preserve the last vestiges of mystery, chose to hide their existence and prevent ordinary people from knowing about 'magic' and 'mystery,' thereby slowing down the continuous fading of mystery.

As mystery receded, technology and the times were rapidly developing.

Therefore, in order to maintain the mystery of magic, old-fashioned magi vehemently resisted technology and new things.

Thus, it was perfectly normal for Tohsaka Tokiomi, one of the old-fashioned magi, to not know what recording or video was...

Especially considering that mobile phones in this era were still like the brick phones of that time.

Fu Yuan had no choice but to reluctantly introduce the mobile phone to Tohsaka Tokiomi and then play the video he had previously recorded at the Matou residence.

Now, Fu Yuan and Matou Sakura sat together on the sofa in the living room, while Tohsaka Tokiomi silently watched the video playing on the phone.

The recorded video was not long, because Fu Yuan had annihilated Matou Zouken's tens of thousands of Magic Crest Worms with a single punch that summoned lightning. Tohsaka Tokiomi was now extremely shocked.

He was shocked by Matou Zouken's true intentions towards Matou Sakura.

He was shocked by the immense power that Fu Yuan possessed.

The reason Matou Zouken adopted Tohsaka Tokiomi's daughter, Tohsaka Sakura, was not to groom her as the heir to the Matou family, but merely to possess her body.

And Fu Yuan, this seemingly ordinary person, was a magus who possessed terrifying lightning.

...What magus? What Fu Yuan possessed was not magic at all. He possessed Great Void Sword Qi, a supreme art capable of slaying gods.

The short recorded video had finished playing, and Tohsaka Tokiomi, sitting on the sofa, fell into silence.

Fu Yuan looked at the silent Tohsaka Tokiomi and said, "So now you should understand Matou Zouken's ill intentions towards Little Sakura. Now, I want to know your thoughts."

"Are you going to retract your decision to give Little Sakura to the Matou family?"

"Or will you continue to be stubborn?" As he spoke, Fu Yuan clenched his fist. If Tohsaka Tokiomi dared to choose the second option, he would definitely use his fist to make him understand what 'sobriety' meant.

Tohsaka Tokiomi, who had been silent for a long time, did not answer Fu Yuan immediately. He looked at Matou Sakura, who was leaning tightly against Fu Yuan. However, Matou Sakura did not pay attention to him, her biological father.

Matou Sakura's attention was entirely focused on Fu Yuan beside her, because in her eyes, Fu Yuan was her only support.

Like a hero in a fairy tale, he had taken her away from a terrifying hell.

As for Tohsaka Tokiomi, her biological father... In Matou Sakura's eyes now, he was probably no different from the demon who sent her to hell.

Looking at Matou Sakura leaning against Fu Yuan, Tohsaka Tokiomi let out a deep sigh. "I never thought the Matou family of the past had fallen to this extent. Two hundred years ago, the Matou family was not like this."

According to the historical records of the Tohma Family regarding the Matou family, the magic used by the Matou family was Butterfly Magic.

Moreover, Matou Zouken from two hundred years ago was at his peak. At that time, even if his opponent was a Servant, he could defeat them.

Although it was only a third-rate Servant, for a magus to possess the power to defeat a Servant was considered a formidable existence.

Therefore, Tohsaka Tokiomi had assumed that the Matou family five hundred years later still possessed such astonishing power. Unfortunately, he did not expect that the Matou family had fallen to such a state.

The Matou family had indeed fallen.

Chapter 13: An Ordinary Person

Ever since Matou Zouken moved the demonic family from Russia to Fuyuki City in the Far East, his family's connection to their native Russia was severed due to the relocation.

This resulted in a situation akin to culture shock.

Subsequently, the magi of the Matou family began to gradually weaken. The Mage Circuits of their descendants became fewer with each generation. After about 150 years, the inheritance of the Matou family's Magic Crests also ceased.

Two hundred years later, Matou Shinji, the sole heir of the Matou family, had degenerated into a useless individual without Mage Circuits.

It was precisely because of this situation that Tohsaka Tokiomi believed Tohsaka Sakura, after arriving at the Matou family, would be meticulously nurtured by Matou Zouken due to her superior Mage Circuits, and subsequently inherit everything the Matou family possessed.

Alas, Matou Zouken had no intention of letting Tohsaka Sakura inherit the Matou family.

"I didn't ask you to lament the changes in the Matou family; I just want to know what you will decide next," Fu Yuan said solemnly to Tohsaka Tokiomi.

Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at the mysterious youth sitting before him, then shook his head. "I don't believe anything you've said, nor the images played by this 'recorded video'."

Excellent!

Now Fu Yuan could rightfully beat up this Tohsaka Tokiomi.

Pressure akin to a mountain descended once more. Tohsaka Tokiomi, beads of sweat on his forehead, quickly said, "However, I will personally go to the Matou family to confirm. If things are truly as you've just said, then I will retract my decision to give Little Sakura over to the Matou family."

"Tsk."
