This severe blow was definitely a fatal problem for this family. After all, a widow and an orphan... just living was a small problem. This also led to the rebuilding of the entire Tohsaka family being affected afterwards.
In fact, the originally very large plot of land could, in the end, only have a small two-story building built on it. The other areas could only be planted with grass and trees to serve as a garden, barely maintaining their face. Of course, space was also reserved for future expansion. It was just that when this land would begin to be expanded upon was basically a very difficult question to determine.
To improve the current situation, to revive the family, the young lady decided to participate in the Holy Grail War. It was just that the catalyst for the Holy Grail War was a somewhat difficult choice. Perhaps because a certain "bad priest" was not mismanaging things, this young lady could, more or less, still take out a portion of money to buy a catalyst.
It was just that those precious cultural relics were definitely unaffordable. So she had already given up on the summoning of a hero from the Age of Gods. In that case, with the money she currently had, she could only find another way, to buy some modern heroes. And those who she could find a definite catalyst for, and that she might be able to buy or rent, were only a few.
She opened the box in her hand, first took out a portion of the money inside, and placed it on the table, expressing that she wanted to rent a certain collection of this doctor. It was just that this collection was this doctor's favorite. After all, the power of fans chasing their idols was definitely not to be underestimated. To rent out one's own collection required a lot of courage.
This doctor took a sip of coffee, the expression on his face almost unchanged. "Miss, if you're just here to talk about this matter, then I'll feel as if I've wasted half a day's vacation."
The young lady in the red clothes once again took out a stack of money from the box. This doctor gently shook his head. "Miss, do you know how much money I spent to auction this collection? Even as a deposit, this is a bit too little... urgh..."
Before the doctor could finish his words, two more stacks of money were placed on the table. With this, the expression on the doctor's face changed slightly. It seemed that he saw the possibility of a successful rental. And so, the young lady took out a portion of gems from the box and placed them on the table. At the same time, the young lady gently tapped the gems.
Resting her chin on her hand, the young lady had a smile on her face all along. "These gems all have a history of several hundred years. In fact, one or two of them belong to a slightly famous category from several hundred years ago. So many gems are placed here, and I am only renting that collection for a period of time. I think from the value alone, you have already made back your principal. So what are you still hesitating about?"
In this country where money and capital reigned supreme, the money and gems at hand had indeed moved him. Although he was a fan of that person, with so much money, it would be no problem for him to change to a new idol. After all, people always have to face reality. If it could make his own life better, why not do it?
But he still had to ensure that he was making a big profit and not a small one. After all, if the young lady before him were to take his collection directly, then he would only have made a small amount of money on top of getting his principal back.
"Is it really just a rental?"
The young lady took out her own identification, which had been notarized by multiple parties, plus a contract. "This should be enough to show my sincerity, right?"
If it was just renting out the collection from his own hands, then his profit would already be double the original. And he was just a doctor. Auctioning this collection back then had already cost him a lot of money. This time, he really had nothing to say. The current him had no reason to refuse such a high-return investment.
"I agree!"
After this doctor had signed his name on the contract, he returned to his study, and then took out his treasured collection from his safe and handed it to the young lady before him. Looking at this collection, the young lady also breathed a sigh of relief. Although, for a little girl, holding such a thing was a little indecent, the excited mood at the moment still affected her more. As for whether it was decent or indecent, she was a magus, and a magus who wanted to revive her family. Even if she was a girl, she should temporarily put these things aside.
This Heroic Spirit was also quite famous. As long as she could successfully summon him, her chances of winning would also be great. After all, this was an existence who was famous worldwide, and could also be called an emperor.
"Thank you very much for your generosity. In that case, I will take my leave for now."
The young lady stood up and at the same time, breathed a sigh of relief. She still had a lot of funds in her box. Having been saving money all these years, she had, more or less, also developed some bargaining skills. The remaining half of the funds could be saved for now.
The time for the Holy Grail War was getting closer and closer. If this catalyst could not be rented or bought, then she would really have to use some of the precious gems found at home to try her luck. Looking at the situation at home, the young lady really didn't think her luck was that star-studded. If she were to blindly draw, the possibility of drawing an ace from the many Heroic Spirits was still a bit too low.
At the same time, in Fuyuki City, in a certain traditional Japanese residence, the Emiya family was enjoying a reunion moment. The white-haired wife was holding her white-haired daughter. At the side sat Maiya, and behind Maiya followed Sigma. This was a family dinner, and also a family meeting.
The discussion at this family meeting was, of course, the upcoming Fifth Holy Grail War to be held here. The Magus Killer raised his head. He was preparing to have his wife take his daughter and temporarily leave this city. And he and Maiya would participate in the new round of the war, to see if they could get the Holy Grail, in order to restore their daughter's body.
Although they could go to Antarctica to find a certain blacksmith and forge a new body, that would mean owing even more favors. It was very likely that their whole family would have to work in Antarctica. He still hoped to give his daughter a childhood that was not burdened by any favors.
And as for the entry ticket to the Holy Grail War, that is, the Command Spell, he, who had a wish, had naturally already been chosen. In other words, the ticket was already in hand. At this very moment, a Command Spell that was very similar to the one from ten years ago, yet had a few differences, was already shining with a red light on the back of his hand. Compared to the previous Command Spell, which was like a sword, this time, it was more like daggers linked together.
