Rin and Shirou's eyes met.
Tokiomi Tohsaka followed his daughter's gaze and soon spotted the red-haired boy as well.
The two magi of the Holy Grail War had met unexpectedly under such an awkward circumstance.
An enemy attack on the Zenchou Family...!?
A flash of panic crossed Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes. Considering that Rin was beside him, he immediately summoned a Magic Crest into his hand—a staff set with a huge ruby.

Rin Tohsaka ran over angrily, planting her hands on her hips. "Amamiya! You're not allowed to insult my father!"
"She's here! The violent twin-tailed girl who lives on the mountain!"
"Who are you calling violent, youuuuuuuuu~?!"
"Rin...!?"
Tokiomi Tohsaka stood dumbfounded.

At the same time, he had failed utterly even as a magus participating in the Holy Grail War.
He had racked his brains trying to obtain information about Shirou, but had remained focused solely on magecraft and had never thought to learn about
