"Meilu?" Sakura asked, seeing Meruem in a daze, with a rarely seen expression on her face and some confusion. "Which guest is here?"
Meruem is a heroic spirit now, and it's not from this world. Therefore, it is impossible for friends to visit her at ordinary times, and besides Tohsaka Family's family of three blood relatives, Sakura has only one Meruem left.
Usually, except for those looking for trouble, no one else comes to visit.
"Well, well, who is it? It should be the delivery guy." Meruem didn't intend to tell Sakura about Tokiomi Tohsaka outside the door. Now Sakura's mood is gradually stabilizing. Although she only becomes cheerful when facing Meruem, it is a big improvement.
And if we see the hour at this time, who knows what will happen.
So Meruem tried to fool around with careless eyes. Children are easy to fool. It's strange. We all came from the stage of childhood. Do you think you were easy to fool before?
Especially a lame excuse like what Meruem just said.
"Mei~lu!" Sakura stared at Meruem without saying a word. The two of them had gotten to know each other very well after spending time together. Children are very sensitive, especially a delicate little girl like Sakura.
So Meruem's lie was exposed the moment he said it.
"Alas" Meruem instantly retreated when he saw Sakura's serious eyes. To be honest, he didn't want to deceive Sakura.
It's just the time, that's all. After all, Tokiomi Tohsaka is Sakura's biological father. Although this biological father is not very responsible, and Meruem doesn't have a good impression of him. If Sakura wanted to see Tatsuki, then there was no need for her to be such a bad person.
The worst thing he could do was spend more time with Sakura, since he had nothing else to do in this world anyway.
Throughout the entire plot of FATEZERO, Tokiomi Tohsaka can be regarded as a model of an excellent noble magician. No matter from any aspect, it is not only excellent but also full of style.
It's just that this guy is surprisingly naive. Not only him, but also his good gay friend Kirei Kotomine and his father Kotomine Risei are all unexpectedly naive.
Yes, naive.
Although according to common sense, the script and planning designed by the two are quite good. It's just that they ignored one thing.
An important thing.
human nature.
Human nature is inherently evil, and Shi takes it for granted that Mapo, who is his apprentice and the son of his best friend, will never betray him. He also ignored Gilgamesh's twisted hobbies, thinking he had everything under control. But in fact, he is just a chess piece. He thought that by superficially surrendering to Gilgamesh, he could control everything and make Gilgamesh obey his orders.
However, he ignored one thing. Although he was extremely arrogant, Gilgamesh was still the oldest King. How could he listen to others?
The holy relic is indeed powerful, and the servants summoned are indeed heaven-defying. But he ignored the issue of compatibility. Gilgamesh and his Tokiomi Tohsaka are simply two extremes that are completely inconsistent with each other.
Instead of fighting a servant who doesn't agree with his own approach and is so powerful that it explodes like a time bomb, it's better to summon a servant who is weaker but can perfectly cooperate with him.
It is taken for granted that Matou Family, who is Three Founding Families, is actually a fairly orthodox family of magicians. He didn't even investigate. The previous generations of the Matou Family heads before him were all named Matou Zouken, and they all looked like they had half a foot in the coffin. It was taken for granted that Matou Family's current descendants did not have the talent to be a magician, and Tohsaka Family could not let his two daughters inherit Tohsaka Family's magic seal. He thought that for the sake of Sakura's future magic future, he adopted his biological daughter to a family that he did not know deeply at all, and never cared about it again.
And Sakura is only 7 years old! I'm afraid I don't even have a deep understanding of what kind of magic family Matou Family is. Does he think that all magic families are modeled after the Tohsaka Family, a standard noble model?
The same goes for Kotomine Risei. Indeed, he may be at a very high level, or his boxing skills may surpass those of Mapo. As an elder who has been practicing for countless years, he is indeed an amazing being.
But unfortunately, in the end, he was too confident and ignored the state of Kayneth (director) at that time, and he was killed by a mere bullet.
All calculations and plans came to nothing.
If Kotomine Risei has such a character due to his long-term practice, then it would be understandable. But Tokiomi Tohsaka can only be explained by naivety.
"It's time, Tokiomi Tohsaka from the Tohsaka Family is here." Finally, under Sakura's gaze, Meruem said the name helplessly.
When Sakura heard the name, her whole body trembled, her smile froze, her head lowered without saying a word, and she fell silent for an instant.
I knew Meruem held Sakura in his arms with pity and patted her back gently.
"Do you want to see him?" Meruem whispered in Sakura's ear.
Sakura didn't answer, just continued to lower her head.
For a long time, he just shook his head slightly and then nodded.
It is impossible for Sakura not to miss her biological father at all, but it was her biological father who personally pushed her into the bottomless abyss of the Matou Family.
What would Sakura's future be like without Meruem?
You can know the answer in FSN's plot, it's broken.
Shinji who treated her like that was even interpreted as tenderness by Sakura, and in one ending, she even took care of Shinji for the rest of her life. sad.
When she thought of the countless disgusting Crest Wormss crawling on her body at that time, and the kind of things Matou Zouken wanted to do to her. Sakura was so frightened that her whole body trembled.
Sakura didn't even dare to think about it. She had woken up from nightmares countless times.
It's all the time's fault!
"Then Sakura, just watch here. I'll go see what's going on with him. If you want to see him, just tell me."
Meruem took out a crystal ball and placed it in front of Sakura. It showed Tokiomi Tohsaka standing outside the door.
Ninjutsu: Telescopic Vision Technique
"Yeah." Sakura just nodded lightly without saying a word.
Meruem lifted the hair from Sakura's forehead and kissed her gently. She said with some distress, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side, my little princess."
Then Meruem dressed as a deacon appeared in front of Tokiomi Tohsaka dressed like a standard nobleman.
"Tohsaka Family's head of the family, why are you here?"
