I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

A little later, Sakura and Kariya came back.

Sakura's eyes were red, as if she had just cried, which made Shinji who greeted her at the entrance feel very distressed.

"What's wrong, our little princess, if someone makes you angry, my brother will help you beat him up."

"No, no one made me angry." Sakura lowered her head, her face full of grievance, "I am angry with myself."

"Oh, oh." Shinji's expression became even gentler. He squatted down in front of Sakura, raised his head, and looked into his sister's eyes. "Why are you angry with yourself? Can you tell your brother?"

"Well, because Sakura is useless." Sakura sniffed, tears brewing in her eyes, "Dad is sick and has never been well, and Sakura's healing magic can't help. If, if Sakura could be like Master That would be great."

"Little fool." Shen'er stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his sister's hair, "Master and Craftsman are not born so powerful. You are still young. As long as you practice hard, one day you will become like Master and Craftsman. So powerful."

It's just that the number of days is probably calculated in the tens of thousands, and the comparison is based on the master who is a servant - Shinji added silently in his heart.

"real?"

"Of course it's true. Brother won't lie to Sakura."

Sakura's gloomy eyes finally regained their brightness: "Then I will definitely practice hard and strive to become as powerful as a master as soon as possible."

Shinji clenched his fist and waved it in front of Sakura: "This is the momentum. Brother will cheer for you, let's start from today."

"Well, then I'm going to finish today's homework first. Before the master left, he assigned a lot of homework."

"Go ahead."

Shinji kept smiling and watched his sister disappear from the entrance of the underground workshop.

It was only then that Kariya, who stood aside like a sculpture, said, "I knew you could coax Sakura."

Shenji turned his head and answered angrily: "I also know that you failed to coax Aunt Kui."

Yan Ye's body stiffened, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face that originally showed no emotion or anger.

"How did you know?"

"Because only in this way will you be in no mood to comfort Sakura and let her come back with red eyes."

Shinji knew very well that in Kariya's heart, Zenjo Aoi came first, and Rin and Sakura came second. He would only ignore Sakura if there was a problem with Zenjo Aoi.

"Did Tohsaka Tokiomi's condition worsen again?"

"Yes." Yan Ye sighed, "The condition was good a few days ago and he was able to walk. However, his condition suddenly worsened last night and he has been in a coma until now."

At the end of the Holy Grail War, Tokiomi Tosaka fell into madness. In the end, Shinji couldn't bear it anymore and knocked him unconscious with a stick, then quietly sent him back to Tosaka's house.

Since then, Tokiomi has been in poor health. He often has high fevers and is weak even when he walks.

"Has the cause been found?"

"No, both modern medicine and magic have been tried, and the conclusion is that the body is weak and needs rest. Now we can only wait for the analysis results of Justeza."

Kariya's words made Shinji even more confused.

"That shouldn't be the case. Tokiomi Tosaka only fought with you, uncle, that night, and he suffered a traumatic injury. There is no reason for the injury to heal and his body to become weaker and weaker."

"It has nothing to do with Kariya."

The spirits gathered, and Justeza's voice appeared in the living room.

"The results have come out. The reason for Tohsaka Tokiomi's weakness is the curse, the curse of the Holy Grail."

"This is impossible." Shinji stood stunned on the spot, "Although the curse of the Holy Grail does make people weaker day by day, when Tokiomi entered Ryudou Temple, Saber had already destroyed the black mud, the Small Holy Grail, and the hole. "

"But the result is this. If I had not been directly exposed to the curse of the Holy Grail, and Emiya Kiritsugu was used as a case, I might not be able to detect the cause. I think there should be a little bit left in a corner of the altar at that time, I happened to be bumped into by Tokiomi Tohsaka."

"This is really true." Shenji and Kariya looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.

Regardless of the obstruction of his wife and daughter, he pursued the Holy Grail wholeheartedly. In the end, not only did he fail to pursue it, but he was cursed by the Holy Grail. It was an ironic ending.

"Do you want to save him?" Shinji asked Kariya.

"This question is meaningless. It's not about whether to save him or not, but whether he can be saved?" The answer was not Kariya, but Justeza.

"What's the meaning?"

"Tosaka Tokiomi's problem is more serious than Emiya Kiritsugu's. Emiya Kiritsugu's curse was effectively contained because of the timely implantation of 'Avalon'. Tokiomi Tosaka is different. Although the amount of curse he suffered is small, it is It has completely penetrated into his soul and become one with him. At this stage, unless it is a complete 'third magic' or a miracle like being able to turn back time, no one can save Tokiomi Tohsaka."

"Not even the goddess's token? Curses and lifting curses are what the pharaohs of ancient Egypt were best at." Shinji said as he revealed the protective treasure that had not yet been given to Sakura.

"No, it's just like cancer. Once the cancer cells spread throughout the body, it's hopeless. Tokiomi Tosaka is now in a state where the cancer cells have spread throughout the body."

Hearing Justeza's explanation, Shinji and Kariya breathed a sigh of relief. They had no choice and no need to accept the inner torture.

"How long can he - live?" Yan Ye hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Not sure. It depends on his will to survive. It can take as short as one and a half years, or as long as three to five years. If there is a treasure like a golden apple, it may be able to last a while longer."

Shenji spread his hands to the two of them: "No, the last golden apple was eaten by my father just yesterday."

Yan Ye nodded and left the entrance without saying a word. At this moment, his heart was full of mixed emotions. He just wanted to take a good rest.

Shinji and Justeza remained silent in tacit agreement, and waited until Kariya left before changing places and continuing the conversation.

"How is Emiya Kiritsugu's condition?"

"He has almost recovered. It will take up to three days before he can completely lift the curse."

"Where's Miss Irisviel?"

"There has been little progress. Although she was successfully transferred from Ryudou Temple to the Emiya family, she cannot leave the spiritual veins, and she cannot freely switch between the spiritual body and the physical body like me. Kiritsugu and Maiya still need to be there for her regularly. Replenishing magic power——It would be great if my 'Third Magic' could be improved a little more, so that they might be able to go to Einzbern City to pick up their daughter earlier."

"Don't blame yourself, you have done a good job." Shenji comforted softly, "Without you, Miss Irisviel would have died and would never have the chance to live with her husband and daughter. It was you who gave her a future. .”

"Then, it's only natural that I, the one who gave her a future, want to witness this future."

Justeza looked at Shinji with longing eyes, and Shinji couldn't refuse this look.

He began to think about whether there was any useful information in the memory of his previous life. Perhaps Shinji had always had a good impression of the Emiya family and Irisviel, a kind-hearted woman, unconsciously, and the figure of a certain wandering king. It quickly came to his mind.

"Justeza, let's go to Emiya's house. I have an idea."

PS: In this chapter of the previous chapter, there were remarks that the traitor could not understand. The golden apple was obtained by the master from Jin Shining with a Yamaha motorcycle in order to improve the disciple's physical condition. What does this have to do with abandoning the master for the golden apple?
