But Amamiya Shirou was different. He possessed power surpassing that of any monster, yet retained perfect rationality.

“If we could bring him over to our side, the Tohno family would have nothing to fear for its future.”

What is this old man talking about? Tohno Akiha thought.

“Father, do you really think the Tohno family has anything that would interest Shirou?”

“I tried winning him over with money, but it had no effect.”

Of course it didn’t.

Akiha felt rather smug. Don’t think money lets you do whatever you please. Shirou isn’t that sort of person!

“Amamiya Shirou may have no interest in money, but he cares a great deal about you children...

“If he hadn’t wanted to spare you from becoming orphans, I imagine he would have killed me back then.”

Tohno Makihisa recalled his first meeting with Shirou.

Shirou had clearly come intending to kill him.

But then he learned that, although Makihisa had slaughtered the Nanaya clan, he had spared its sole surviving child because the boy’s name resembled his own son’s, and had even adopted him.

Shirou concluded that even a scoundrel like Makihisa still possessed a scrap of humanity. For the sake of the three children’s emotional well-being, he had decided to spare his life.

Besides, Makihisa did not have many years left to live anyway.

“Then please try to drink less, Father. Otherwise, even the life Shirou was kind enough to spare...”

“I know you resent me, Akiha.”

Akiha frowned slightly.

The Tohno family had planted the seeds of madness deep within its soul long, long ago.

For a while, she remained silent.
