After all, no matter how much of a jerk this guy is, he is still Sakura's father. It would be difficult to explain to Sakura if he killed Tokiomi.
But if he doesn't kill him, Tōsaka Tokiomi will definitely not let go.
In short, it's very troublesome.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to let Tōsaka Tokiomi and Old Bug fight each other first.
In this way, Toosaka Tokiomi will also understand why Sakura is unwilling to return to the Matou family and chooses to go with Su Mo, and there will be no need to explain anything further.
Livilia nodded, and said with some regret: "This is a good thing for that insect. Let him live a few more days."
"Don't worry, he won't die so easily then."
……
This side of the Type-Moon world.
Things turned out roughly as Su Mo had expected.
After Sakura disappeared, Matou Zouken was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly began to look for her.
After searching the house for nothing, he became furious.
"Damn it! Who is that bastard? How dare he ruin my plan!"
"You'd better not let me find you, otherwise I will tear you into pieces!"
Then, all the bugs in the Matou family came out in droves.
Like a plague of locusts, they were densely packed and spread from the Matou family to the surrounding areas.
Tokiomi of the Toosaka household also noticed the commotion here instantly.
"What's going on? What is Mr. Matou doing? With such a large number of familiars, isn't he afraid that the secret will be leaked and he will be punished by the association? Is there something wrong?"
Toosaka Tokiomi looked at the swarm of insects in the sky and couldn't help but look confused.
and also……
"When did the Matou family start doing insect magic? Isn't it water magic?"
Toosaka Tokiomi looked confused.
But no matter what, as the manager of the mysterious rules of the Fuyuki Realm, it is very necessary for him to understand the situation.
So he sent a paper crane to deliver the message.
Matou Zouken also noticed it, but he couldn't care less about it now.
Moreover, when the person was adopted, he lost him.
It goes without saying that if Tōsaka Tokiomi knew about this, he would definitely come to question him.
Therefore, Matou Zouken simply ignored Toosaka Tokiomi's letter and continued to look for clues about Sakura.
On this side, Tōsaka Tokiomi couldn't help but frown when he saw that Matou Zouken had not responded for a long time.
"He doesn't want me to know?"
"Hmph, you're so disrespectful before the Holy Grail War even begins? Very well, I'll go and see for myself what you're up to!"
Seeing that Matou Zouken didn't even bother to make excuses and simply ignored him as the manager, Tōsaka Tokiomi became a little angry.
Although his status as a manager is basically that of a neighborhood committee lady, he has no real power at all.
But this is not a reason for you not to give me face!
Tōsaka Tokiomi is a gentleman who always behaves elegantly and is a respectable man.
Faced with Matou Zouken's disrespectful behavior, Tōsaka Tokiomi couldn't help but feel angry.
He immediately dressed neatly, picked up his magic costume, and went straight to the Matou family.
Matou Zouken also noticed Tōsaka Tokiomi's movements.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally did not stop.
When Tousaka Tokiomi arrived at the Matou family's home and saw Matou Zouken, he asked directly:
"I apologize for my intrusive visit. I came here mainly to understand why Mr. Jiantong has started such a big fight."
Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Matou Zouken had no choice but to tell Sakura about her disappearance.
"I'm sorry that I didn't reply to Master Tosaka in time. The main reason is that I was worried that Sakura might have met with an accident. I was concentrating on hunting down the thief and didn't have time to reply."
540
"I understand. If that's the case, then I'll help as well. This is also my responsibility as the manager of Fuyuki."
Tōsaka Tokiomi nodded calmly on the surface, but his heart was actually in a mess.
Firstly, he was worried about the safety of his newly adopted little daughter. Secondly, he was angry at the thief's audacity for kidnapping in Fuyuki.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel angry at Zouken Matou for not being able to protect Sakura.
Toosaka Tokiomi immediately sent out his familiars to search the entire city for Sakura.
But after searching for two hours, not a single hair was found, and Tōsaka Tokiomi looked at Matou Zouken with some hostility.
"I wonder if Mr. Jiantong can tell me the details of what happened. Maybe I can use the thief's method and the association's connections to tie the suspect to the hand."
He now seriously doubts whether there was no so-called kidnapping and everything was just a play directed and acted by Matou Zouken himself.
This old guy might be planning to go back on his word and use Sakura to do something shameful, but he's afraid that he'll find out something's wrong later, so he's putting on another show to make Sakura 'reasonably disappear'.
Matou Zouken also honestly explained the situation at that time.
He even mentioned throwing Sakura into a pile of insects for transformation. After all, this was tacitly agreed by both parties.
Sakura's magical attributes are not suitable for inheriting the Matou family's seal, but the adoption conditions clearly give the reason why Sakura should inherit the seal, so transformation is necessary.
Tōsaka Tokiomi's agreement to be adopted was equivalent to his agreement to transformation.
So Matou Zouken did not hide it, but he didn't notice it.
When Toosaka Tokiomi heard what happened to Sakura, he looked expressionless, but in fact he clenched his fists unconsciously.
He tacitly agreed to the transformation, but he was not clear about the current situation of the Matou family at that time. He always thought that what the Matou family inherited was the water magic recorded by the Tohsaka family.
So, when he heard how Zouken Matou treated Sakura, he felt both guilty and angry.
He felt guilty about Sakura almost suffering inhumane abuse, and he was angry that Zouken Matou had lied to him.
At the same time, it also strengthened his suspicion of Matou Zouken.
Even the inherited magic is hidden, this old guy must have some hidden secrets.
Maybe letting Sakura inherit the seal and not training her as the heir was all a lie to him!
Matou Zouken didn't notice this because he was staring at Tōsaka Tokiomi's face.
Well, just as Toosaka Tokiomi doubted him, he also doubted Toosaka Tokiomi.
He suspected that Tousaka Tokiomi had already known his plan, so he teamed up with outsiders to "kidnap" Sakura.
Especially after seeing the 'calm' expression of Toosaka Tokiomi, he felt more and more that this was the case.
Afterwards, he couldn't help but get angry, thinking that Toosaka Tokiomi was taking advantage of him because he was old and weak and was making a fool of him!
So, the two of them began to glare at each other with hidden hostility amid mutual suspicion.
"Master Tosaka, do you have any impression of this thief's methods?"
Matou Zouken broke the silence.
"No, but I will use the Clock Tower's connections to check."
Toosaka Tokiomi shook his head.
…To be continued….
Chapter 96: Learning and Exploration, Huihui's Release from Prison, Magical Research and Purchasing
Toosaka Tokiomi and Matou Zouken were full of suspicion of each other and had nothing to say to each other. After a few words, Toosaka Tokiomi stood up and said goodbye.
Matou Zouken did not try to keep him, but sent his familiar to follow Tōsaka Tokiomi secretly.
Although Toosaka Tokiomi also discovered this, he did not care. After all, after returning to the Toosaka family, with the barrier in place, these servants could not monitor any secrets.
However, it made him feel even more that there must be something wrong with Matou Zouken.
However, Matou Zouken felt that since Tōsaka Tokiomi did not take any action to kill the person he was following, he must be pretending!
Suspicion is like this. Once it starts, no matter what the other party does, it will seem suspicious no matter how you look at it.
When Tousaka Tokiomi returned home, he immediately contacted his acquaintances at the Clock Tower and began to use various connections to thoroughly investigate Matou Zouken's background.
And Matou Zouken was not idle either. He monitored the movements of the Tohsaka family while continuing his search.
The two sides unexpectedly embarked on the path of hostility.
……
And Sakura's side.
With the care of Lijie, who was in the same room with me, I slept fairly soundly.
When she got up the next day, she washed herself under Lijie's instructions, changed into beautiful new clothes, and found Su Mo who was having breakfast with Hestia and Livilia.
"Good morning, Brother Su Mo."
"Good morning, Sakura, come over and have breakfast."
"Ok."
Sakura came over and sat down obediently, and greeted Hestia and Riveria politely.
Then, Leah brought Sakura's breakfast that she had prepared to her.
During this time, several people expressed their concern for Sakura, asking her how she slept and whether she was used to it.
Sakura naturally agreed obediently.
This is not a polite gesture, but a genuine feeling.
Compared to the local small noble family of Tousaka, even though the Dimension City is smaller in scale, it is much larger than the Tousaka family and has better living conditions.
In addition, Sakura is so popular with everyone and everyone takes good care of her. Her current treatment is much better than when she was in the Tohsaka family.
After breakfast, Su Mo and his companions started to get busy with their own things.
And Sakura followed Riveria to the office.
A girl with teaching experience has been waiting here early.
This was arranged by Riveria for Sakura, so that Sakura could receive an education.
Otherwise, if you leave her alone, even though she will be taken care of in life, she will probably be bored mentally.
After all, there was no one of Sakura's age to play with in the dimensional city.
In that case, let’s learn.
"She is your teacher. From today on, she will be responsible for teaching you one-on-one. I will be right next to you. You can call me anytime if you have any questions."
"Yeah, I understand."
Sakura nodded, looked at the teacher girl, and said politely, "Hello, teacher."
"Hello, Sakura-san."
The teacher girl also responded with a smile.
Then, Riveria started working.
Xiaoying, on the other hand, started the class, starting with pinyin and literacy.
Well, I teach Chinese.
But it doesn't make a difference. Sakura hasn't been to school for long anyway, so it's still time for her to change the language.
Although it was a bit difficult at the beginning, it was okay after I got used to it.
Because it is one-on-one teaching, the learning pressure is not that great.
