"Hehehe..."
Malicious, corrupt laughter rang out.
Tohsaka Sakura twisted his eyeballs hard, and an old man with many wrinkles came over. He was leaning on a crutch with a malicious smile, "That's it for today, Sakura. Even I am impressed by your endurance."
"I got it, Grandpa~"
A hollow voice came from Sakura's mouth, and then she climbed up like a puppet and walked out of the cellar like a corpse. Behind her, the old man stared at the leaving girl with malicious and sticky eyes.
During this process, Tohsaka Sakura was unable to control himself throughout the entire process.
She was like a bystander, watching what she was experiencing in the dream.
However, even if it was just like this, Sakura still felt a little out of breath.
"Sakura, please give me some reaction. It's boring to look like a corpse."
A big brother with blue hair reached out and grabbed my hair and lifted me up. He said something with a dissatisfied and extremely unhappy expression, and then threw me hard on the bed. Then the big brother with blue hair started to take off his clothes and walked towards me.
However, just before the big brother with blue hair was about to touch me, the screen jumped again.
(What happens next must be very painful~)
Tohsaka Sakura was thinking so silently, and every time something terrible was about to happen in the dream she experienced, it would immediately jump to a new picture. It was probably because Sister Touko was afraid that she couldn't bear it.
How terrible.
If I actually experienced it.
You must want to die.
Tohsaka Sakura silently watched the fragments of her future life, which showed the general events from childhood to high school. Finally, the screen returned to her childhood, and the story was reinterpreted from different angles.
Eventually, she felt like her vague story was coming to an end.

Reality.
"Rin, you can take Sakura back to your room and sleep."
Aozaki Touko handed Sakura in his arms to Tohsaka Rin and said with a smile, "Remember to be careful. If there is a collision, Sakura's dream will be interrupted."
"I understand."
Tohsaka Rin picked up her sister with some difficulty and carefully took Sakura out of the living room. Then, she walked to the corner and found her mother standing quietly in the corner.
"Mom."
"I'll do it, Rin~"
Aoi Tohsaka showed a gentle smile, bent down and held Sakura in his arms. Seeing this, Tohsaka Rin blinked, hesitated for a while, then turned and walked towards the living room.
She had a hunch... if she stayed in the living room.
The gentle orange-haired elder sister will at least have a better attitude because she is a child, so that her father will not be bullied too badly.
Although I was a little embarrassed, I also didn't want to admit it.
However, I still see the truth for myself.
Chapter 134 Reasonable planning
cold
Not long after Tohsaka sisters left.
"... Now let's get down to business."
Aozaki Touko's attitude became cold and he asked indifferently, "About the Holy Grail, Tohsaka Tokiomi, you should have a general understanding."
"Of course, Tohsaka Household left detailed records."
Tohsaka Tokiomi nodded gracefully, with a little pride in his words.
He is no longer too afraid of Aozaki Touko killing him. After all, Aozaki Touko behaved too mildly before. If he wanted to attack Tohsaka Household, he would not behave so mildly.
"Really... Then Tohsaka Tokiomi, do you know that the Holy Grail is contaminated?"
Aozaki Touko asked indifferently, "Due to some reasons in the Third War, the Holy Grail is no longer a pure magic block. It is also mixed with All the World's Evil. If it is accidentally released, the entire world will face a devastating disaster."
"Miss Aozaki... are you serious about this?!"
Tohsaka Tokiomi looked solemn and seemed dubious.
He somewhat believed what Aozaki Touko said. After all, such a big shot who stood at the top of the Magecraft world should have no reason to deceive him.
However, if what Aozaki Touko said is true.
Then, this also means that the function of the Holy Grail may be affected, the road to Vortex of the Root may be cut off, and the long-cherished wish of the Tohsaka family to pursue Root will come to an end.
This was something he couldn't accept, so he was expecting that what Aozaki Touko said was false.
"Seeing is believing. Later you can follow me to see what Greater Holy Grail contains."
Aozaki Touko replied coldly, and then she turned to look at Tohsaka Rin who was coming back. A hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, but her cold attitude softened. She waved at Tohsaka Rin and said:
"Rin, come here big sister and let me hug you."
"... Okay~"
Entering the living room, Tohsaka Rin's cheeks blushed slightly, and he quickly ran to Touko's side, and was picked up by Aozaki Touko in his arms. During this process, Tohsaka Rin showed no resistance and accepted this intimate gesture as a matter of course.
On the other side, Tohsaka Tokiomi turned a blind eye to this scene. His attention was focused on Aozaki Touko's previous words, and he was somewhat ignorant of what was happening in the outside world. Intense emotions collided in his heart.
"Father, what happened?"
Tohsaka Rin asked Touko in a low voice.
"Rin, I'm fine, I'm just a little distracted."
Hearing his daughter's worried voice, Tohsaka Tokiomi gradually regained his composure and silently recited Tohsaka Household's family motto, 'Always take it easy and always be elegant.' After a few words, he regained his composure, showed an elegant smile and asked:
"Miss Aosaki, it's not meaningless for you to tell me this."
Yes, there must be some reason why a big shot like Aozaki Touko would spend time telling him this kind of information. Although he didn't know the specific reason, it must be related to solving the hidden danger in the Holy Grail.
Yes, if it is this kind of existence that stands at the top of the Magecraft world, it should be able to solve the problems in the Holy Grail.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have told you~"
Aozaki Touko nodded slightly, then she rubbed Lin's cute little face in her arms and said in an indifferent tone, "Since we know that All the World's Evil is in the Holy Grail, it is not too difficult to develop targeted Magecraft to purify All the World's Evil in the Holy Grail."
"However, it will take a lot of resources and time to build this Magecraft. I need you, a local snake, to set up the relevant infrastructure in Fuyuki City."
It's not a lie, she is indeed prepared to destroy Magecraft of All the World's Evil, and she has already studied the grand ceremony level Magecraft as early as Clock Tower.
At that time, all she has to do is wait for All the World's Evil to come out and stab him to death.
"I see, Tohsaka Household is very happy to oblige."
Hearing this, Tohsaka Tokiomi felt relieved, with an elegant smile on his face, "Being able to make the Holy Grail operate normally is the prerequisite for us to carry out Holy Grail War. I will definitely do my best to set up the relevant ritual foundation."
Sure enough, as expected, things were consistent with his guess. This genius, well known in the Magecraft world, indeed had a way to solve the hidden dangers in the Holy Grail.
In this way, he can continue to act according to the original plan.
At that time, he only needs to summon the oldest king,
You can guarantee the final victory of Holy Grail War.
"Oh, by the way, this is the list required for the ceremony. Tohsaka Tokiomi, please take a look at it."
Saying this, Aozaki Touko took out a slightly long list from somewhere and placed it on the table.
Seeing this, Tohsaka Tokiomi picked up the slightly long list on the table and carefully looked at the materials required on it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The total amount of things needed in this list was enough to bankrupt Tohsaka Household.
Probably only a wealthy person like Ms. Aozaki could make such a heart-stopping list.
Lamenting that the materials are expensive, Tohsaka Tokiomi smiled gently.
"Most of the materials are related to Zoroastrianism, which is really difficult to collect. However, as long as you send the materials, Miss Aosaki, I, Tohsaka Household, will definitely do my best to complete the ritual structure."
"...Tohsaka Tokiomi, did you misunderstand something?!"
Aozaki Touko's eyes became cold and stern, and he said in a cold voice, "Since I am responsible for developing the relevant technology, and I will still be the one to fight against the enemy when the time comes, why do I still need to solve the materials? Do you think this is fair?"
Yes, she was responsible for the research and development of the relevant Magecraft, and she would also take risks against the enemy. However, in this case, she still had to fund the material costs, which was a bit unreasonable.
At least this cost must be handed over to the other two Three Great Families, Tohsaka Household, and Matou Household to be responsible for the investment.
"But... the cost for us Tohsaka Household is really unbearable~"
Tohsaka Tokiomi's elegant expression was a bit unbearable. He thought that Tohsaka Household still had quite a lot of assets, but they Tohsaka Household Jewel Magecraft also spent a lot of money. If he wanted to spend such a huge amount of money to purchase ceremony materials, his Tohsaka Household funds simply couldn't support it.
"Then you can go find Matou Household to share the burden."
Aozaki Touko said with a cold face, "Of course, if you really can't come up with the funds, it doesn't matter. I can lend it to you without interest, but it must be paid back within three years. Otherwise, I will forcefully collect your Tohsaka Household assets."
"..."
Hearing the indifferent words, Tohsaka Tokiomi frowned in confusion.
To be honest, if she wins Holy Grail War and enters Root, she won't be able to come back. By then, Tohsaka Household's family property will probably be taken away by Aozaki Touko.
By then, her eldest daughter Tohsaka Rin will still need to study Magecraft. Without the financial support accumulated by Tohsaka Household, it is unimaginable how difficult the road to magic will be.
And if he didn't win Holy Grail War, and was killed directly in Holy Grail War, then there would probably be no way to pay off Aozaki Touko's debt, and the result would still be the same.
In other words, as long as he borrows this money, Tohsaka Rin will have a difficult time in the future.
"If you don't want to... then I will change my attitude towards Tohsaka Household!"
Seeing this, Aozaki Touko said indifferently, "I can't provide money or technology, which makes me feel very difficult to handle!"
"——Okay, I agree!"
Listening to the cold words, Tohsaka Tokiomi gritted his teeth and agreed.
Although he feels a little sorry for his daughter Rin, he believes that his daughter Rin can become a great Magecraft teacher in the future even if she relies on her own efforts.
As for the hardships before greatness... then think of it as the training to embark on the path of becoming a great magician.
"Very good, I like cheerful people~"
Aozaki Touko smiled slightly, and then took out another mandatory contract. "By the way, I have another deal here. If you are willing to sign it, I guarantee that you will have priority to enter Vortex of the Root."
"... Miss Aozaki, don't you want to enter Root?!"
Tohsaka Tokiomi said with some vigilance.
He cannot push others by himself. He cannot give up the opportunity to enter Vortex of the Root as a pure Magecraft teacher as Aozaki Touko. That is the lifelong pursuit of Magecraft teacher. There is no reason to give up the opportunity.
"Speaking of which, does anyone stipulate that only one person can enter the hole in Root?"
Aozaki Touko tilted his head, showing a confused expression. "Even if you enter Vortex of the Root first, it does not prevent me from entering later. Therefore, this deal is nothing more than selling whoever wants to die first."
"..."
Hearing this, Tohsaka Tokiomi showed a speechless expression.
I confirm that no one has stipulated that the hole leading to Root can only be used by one person. However, if the others are not killed, what if the person who enters first gains extraordinary power and changes hands and kills the latecomers.
Moreover, the Holy Grail contains a huge amount of magic power and can indeed grant wishes.
If you don't kill the other Master, how can you make a wish with peace of mind.
"Miss Aosaki, aren't you afraid that I will enter Vortex of the Root and attack you after getting True Magic?"
Tohsaka Tokiomi expressed his doubts.
"We have to wait until you can maintain yourself after entering Vortex of the Root."
Aozaki Touko said indifferently, "Even I am not sure that I can maintain myself by contacting Vortex of the Root. Do you think you can be safe?"
"..."
It does make sense. Tohsaka Tokiomi felt relieved after hearing this. He picked up the mandatory contract and looked at it. Then, his face became a little solemn, because this sale entered Vortex of the Root's priority, and the amount was as high as 300 billion US dollars.
Moreover, these amounts are not counted on the individual's head, but on the head of Tohsaka Household.
In other words, if he dies, the debt will fall on her daughter Tohsaka Rin.
At that time, Aozaki Touko can order Tohsaka Rin to perform some labor services to pay off the debt without harming Tohsaka Rin.
