I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"——I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand up on the earth."

The funeral ceremony was held quietly in the cold drizzle.

The person who served as the funeral director was a young girl.

The person who should have been the funeral director was the widow of the girl's mother, Tohsaka Aoi, but the girl insisted on being the funeral director on the grounds that she promised her father to inherit the family business and wanted to protect her mother. The mother, who understood her daughter's feelings, could only agree.

The girl did not show her sadness or anxiety on her face. She has a serious look on her face and carries out her duties. Everyone praised her bravery and strength, and no one pitied her or felt pity for her.

That's what happened to the family that held the funeral. The previous head of the family used this as a common practice and also used this method to educate the current successor. Everyone invited to the condolence ceremony also understood this.

"And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me...Amen."

The coffin was consecrated to the earth. After the prayers ended, the priests and attendees who performed the ceremony began to leave one by one. Finally, in the silent drizzle, only the girl who served as the mourner and people close to the girl were left behind.

"Thank you, Rin. You performed very well in your first job as the new head of the family. Your father will be proud of you." Aoi hugged her daughter and said softly.

Rin nodded silently without speaking, as if all this was taken for granted. The once innocent girl seemed to have grown a lot overnight, but the price of this growth was heartbreaking.

"Sister." My younger sister, Sakura, held Rin's hand, her red eyes full of worry.

Rin shook his head, with a hint of softness in the corners of his tight eyes, indicating that his sister didn't need to worry. But the more this happened, the more worried Sakura became. This kind of Rin was very similar to the stubborn Shinji.

Just when Sakura didn't know what to say, a young man in a black suit and a girl dressed in neutral clothes walked into the cold cemetery under the drizzle of early spring.

The young man glanced at the two girls holding hands, then at the middle-aged and young man standing aside, and finally walked up to the widow in black kimono and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me Is this the burial ceremony for Tokiomi-san Tosaka?"

Aoi nodded: "Yes, you are -"

Weber's voice was inexplicably low: "I am Weber Velvet who is affiliated with the Clock Tower. This time I am here to deal with the inheritance of the Tosaka family's spiritual veins and patents. Before that, please allow me to express my condolences."

"Mr. Velvet, please follow me." It was not Aoi who spoke, but Rin.

"Who is this?"

Weber looked confused and Aoi explained.

"This is the little girl Rin, the new head of the Tohsaka family."

There was a hint of surprise on Weber's face, and the girl following him had the same expression. The two of them followed Rin without saying anything else and went to Tokiomi's grave to pay their respects.

In terms of etiquette, the girl is undoubtedly more standard, but the emotion poured into her movements is far less profound than Weber's.

The thoughtful Aoi noticed this and asked after paying her condolences: "Did Mr. Velvet have an old relationship with his late husband?"

"That's right, although there has been no direct communication between us." Weber sighed, "Madam may not know that Mr. Tokiomi and I are both participants in the Holy Grail War."

Aoi and Rin were one of the three royal families who constructed the Holy Grail ritual, and Lorelaia was the lord of the Legal Affairs Department who managed the magicians. They were all insiders, so Waver did not hide anything and told the truth.

"Mr. Tokiomi is an excellent magician and an excellent Master. I originally planned to take this opportunity to ask for advice from him, but I didn't expect to arrive a step too late."

Asking for advice and learning is somewhat comforting, but coming a little late is not a bit false. After getting off the plane, Weber and Lorelei went straight to the Tosaka house, but were informed by the servant who was left behind to look after the house that the head of the house had passed away and a funeral ceremony would be held today, so he hurried to the cemetery.

"Can you please tell me the details of the Holy Grail War when you have time? My father has never been willing to tell me."

Weber's words caught Rin's attention. She had always been concerned about the Holy Grail War that happened four years ago, thinking that it was the culprit that took her father's life. It's just that Tokiomi was still unwilling to mention the details of the Holy Grail War, and asked Kariya secretly, but Kariya didn't say anything. Now that another Holy Grail War participant finally appeared in front of her, how could Rin give up.

Weber hesitated and nodded. Although he had a grudge against Tokiomi, or to be precise, Tokiomi's servant Gilgamesh, the deceased was dead, and Weber would not involve this grudge with Tokiomi's family.

This action caused a flash of complexity in the eyes of Kariya who was watching. Out of his love for Rin, he didn't want her to be exposed to the Holy Grail War prematurely, but he could control himself, but after all he couldn't control the strong girl.

It seems that I should find an opportunity to talk to Aoi and ask Shinji for his opinion.

Thinking of his nephew, Yanye frowned unconsciously.

What happened to this child recently? Why has there been no news at all after being in London for so long? By the way, Weber Velvet, this name is a bit familiar. He seems to have been at home, so I’d like to find an opportunity to ask him.

"Uncle, uncle." Sakura's call interrupted Kariya's thoughts, "Mom and sister invite Mr. Velvet to their home. Do you want us to go together?"

Kariya rubbed Sakura's hair and said: "You go ahead, I won't go, spend more time with your mother and sister. And find a chance to tell Mr. Velvet that I want to visit them and ask him when do you have time."

"I know." Sakura agreed obediently and left with her mother, sister, and the girl who looked at her strangely.

After watching the group leave the cemetery, Kariya walked to Tokiomi's tombstone again and sat down on the ground regardless of the rain-soaked ground.

"I always hated you before, hated you, thought you were not worthy of her, and thought you were not a good father or husband. But it wasn't until you died that I realized that this was just wishful thinking on my part. No matter how unwilling I was Even admitting it cannot change the fact that you are better than me."

"Career, family, person, and work, I can't compare to you in any of them. Even the only favor I think I'm better than you in, you are actually no worse than me."

"Before, I was not willing to lose to you, not willing to let you take away my most important person, even though I knew that it would be much better for her to follow you than follow me."

"Now, I'm still not willing to give in. I finally had a chance to catch up with you, but you just left like that, without even giving me a chance to really defeat you."

"Then why have I worked so hard for so long? Isn't it like you are saying that I will be a loser all my life? I don't allow you to do this, do you hear me, Tokiomi Tohsaka!"

"Come out here, don't pretend to be asleep, come out, come out and fight me, come out!"

"Aren't you saying that I am irresponsible and a traitor worse than a dog? Now this traitor is laughing at you, but you can't say anything. Aren't you worse than me?"

"Tosaka Tokiomi, talk, talk, talk..."

The sound became softer and softer, and was finally drowned out by the sound of wind and rain.

PS: The grave is jumping, maybe Tokiomi will wake up?
