"I promise." Kirei Kotomine said.
"Eh? Really?" Hearing such a definitive answer, a hint of joy couldn't help but appear on Little Rin Tohsaka's face.
"Of course… it's a lie, Rin." Kirei Kotomine shook his head solemnly, ignoring Little Rin Tohsaka's slightly startled expression, and continued, "If this war were simple enough for me to make such a promise, then there would be no need for you and your mother to seek refuge, would there be?"
Unlike the original Kirei Kotomine, the current Kirei Kotomine already knew how to amuse himself. Words like those he used to tease Rin just now would never have been spoken by the former Kirei Kotomine. He would only speak straightforwardly and truthfully.
"…You…you're even more annoying than before." Little Rin Tohsaka gnashed her teeth and said.
"Rin, if I were you, I wouldn't say such heartfelt words in front of others. Because it would not only make others question the upbringing of your father who has been educating you, but also…" Kirei Kotomine somewhat forcefully approached Rin Tohsaka, raised his hand, and instantly chopped it directly towards Little Rin Tohsaka. This startled Little Rin Tohsaka, she had never imagined that Kirei Kotomine would lay a hand on her. In her fright, she instinctively closed her eyes.
However, no pain came from her head. When she opened her eyes, she saw Kirei Kotomine smiling faintly, retracting his hand, and saying, "And offending people can easily lead to lessons, understand? Rin."
"Wuwu…! What kind of skill is it to scare me! Listen, Kirei! If you're really capable, then protect my father well! If you're perfunctory and my father gets hurt! I'll never forgive you!" Little Rin Tohsaka at this moment already had the shadow of the future Rin Tohsaka, shouting loudly.
"Rin, what are you doing? Why are you so loud?" Tōsaka Aoi seemed to have heard Little Rin Tohsaka's voice and slowly walked out from the adjacent room. Seeing her mother come out, Little Rin Tohsaka became a little flustered, her two small hands couldn't stop fidgeting, and her words became fragmented: "That… this…"
"Rin is very worried about her father, so it's normal for her to be a bit emotional. Tosaka Lady, you shouldn't be too harsh on her." Kirei Kotomine said slowly.
"Rin, don't be disrespectful, do you hear me?" Since Kirei Kotomine didn't excuse Little Rin Tohsaka as he originally would have, Tōsaka Aoi naturally lectured Little Rin Tohsaka.
"Wuwuwu… I know." Little Rin Tohsaka lowered her head, but still glared at Kirei Kotomine.
This feeling of seeing someone put in a difficult position greatly pleased Kirei Kotomine. And Little Rin Tohsaka could only carry her luggage out by herself, pouting.
"Kotomine-san, I entrust my husband to you. Please help him fulfill his long-cherished wish." Saying so, Tōsaka Aoi leaned slightly forward to express her gratitude.
"I will do my utmost, please rest assured." Kirei Kotomine nodded in agreement.
…
"Is that room, that box, containing the snake skin fossil that can summon the oldest fat tiger? It's a pity I can only observe it from afar. I have to say, the Tohsaka Family's Magic Association workshops are truly densely packed with security arrangements. I haven't even entered the house, just on the periphery, and I almost triggered their security check. Unfortunately, besides violent dismantling, I can't sneak in silently. I always feel that for Hassan to be able to infiltrate that position in the first place, the Tohsaka Family was probably deliberately putting on a show and weakening some of their defenses. Forget it, let that fat tiger come out, that way I can gain more villain points."
Wang Chong was now sitting in the driver's seat. The original driver had long been silently knocked out and thrown away by him. As for the other bodyguards outside, they had already been put into a charmed state by his Servant Stheno, completely unaware of what had just happened, and even being controlled.
Wang Chong originally came here to see if he could steal the snake skin, but the Tohsaka Family's defenses were too tight, requiring only violent dismantling. Therefore, Wang Chong had to temporarily give up and instead set his sights on the Tohsaka mother and daughter.
And the unsuspecting Tōsaka Aoi and Rin Tohsaka thus got into what they considered a safe car, and were taken away by Wang Chong. Only the Hassans saw this scene, but unfortunately, Kirei Kotomine had already reminded them not to make things difficult for Mr. Dio.
"Mom… will Dad win?" Little Rin Tohsaka leaned against her mother, Tōsaka Aoi, and asked with some worry.
"He will win." This was not only Tōsaka Aoi's comfort to her daughter, but also the result she herself hoped for.
"How touching, Tokiomi Tohsaka has such a good daughter and a good wife. It's a pity he won't be able to enjoy it." But suddenly, a voice entered Tōsaka Aoi's ears.
"Eh?" Instantly, a chilling sensation immediately climbed into Tōsaka Aoi's heart, and at this moment, Tōsaka Aoi suddenly noticed that the entire car was filled with a black mist.
"Mom… I'm so sleepy…" A soft, sweet voice came, and Tōsaka Aoi was surprised to find that Little Rin Tohsaka, who was lying in her arms, had been covered by the strange black mist, and Little Rin Tohsaka had fallen into a deep slumber.
"Rin! Rin, wake up! What are these things! Tokiomi… Tokiomi!" Fear, terror, and other emotions filled Tōsaka Aoi's heart, and Little Rin Tohsaka's state made Tōsaka Aoi completely panic. She wanted to drive away the black mist covering her daughter, but she couldn't. She even started shouting her husband's name, but her voice was destined not to reach Tokiomi Tohsaka.
"Madam, if I were you, it would be best to choose to be quiet, otherwise I cannot guarantee what these little darlings will do." As the words fell, several phantoms appeared in the surrounding black mist, letting out tearing roars. Tōsaka Aoi had never seen such a scene before and was immediately too scared to make another sound.
"That's right, Tosaka Lady. If you cooperate well, you'll suffer less." Wang Chong's voice sounded faintly.
"The driver's direction… Who are you, what exactly do you want to do? How is Rin?" Tōsaka Aoi asked tremblingly.
"Who I am is not important. As for that little one, don't worry, I haven't done anything to her, I just let her sleep soundly. After all, it's an adult topic, some things she's better off not knowing." Wang Chong said, "As for what I want to do, it's actually very simple, I hope Tokiomi Tohsaka can withdraw from this Holy Grail War."
"! You are another Master!?" Tōsaka Aoi never expected that before the Holy Grail War even began, an enemy Master had already captured her and her daughter. If he were to use this to threaten Tokiomi Tohsaka, then Tokiomi would surely… As soon as she thought of this, Tōsaka Aoi sharply said, "You dare not threaten Tokiomi with me, otherwise…"
"Die? Alright, then this cute little daughter, she looks quite lively to me, you wouldn't mind if I did something to her, would you? After all, dead people have no say over the living."
Upon hearing this, Tōsaka Aoi, who had just managed to muster some courage, instantly felt her weakness grasped, and her resolve deflated. If it were just herself, she could choose to die without hesitation, absolutely not wanting to be a burden to her husband, Tokiomi Tohsaka. But now, besides herself, Rin was also here, which meant she couldn't bring herself to die.
"Moreover, don't think that if you die, you won't drag down your husband. First, your disappearance is bound to distract your husband, preventing him from fully dedicating himself to the competition. Furthermore, what if, at a critical moment during a Servant battle, I deliver the news of your death to him, or even let him witness it firsthand? What do you think will happen to your husband when he's hit with such a mental shock, and then someone goes 'bang'—shoots him?"
"You… you demon!" Tōsaka Aoi said, trembling.
"Thank you for the compliment." Wang Chong nodded, then continued, "Alright, Tosaka Lady, to be honest with you, I'm actually doing Tokiomi Tohsaka a favor by having him withdraw from this Holy Grail War. He's destined not to be the winner of this Holy Grail War, and in the end, it would be a pity for you to become a widow and for your child to lose their father at a young age. How unfortunate that would be."
"…." Tōsaka Aoi remained silent.
"What? You don't believe me? From the moment you and your daughter were captured, it's enough to prove that Tokiomi Tohsaka doesn't have the ability to control the situation of the Holy Grail War. Since he can't control the entire situation, do you think he still has a chance to win?" Wang Chong said.
"I can't persuade my husband, even if our mother and daughter are captured, Tokiomi will never give up. What do you want to do to let our mother and daughter go?" Tōsaka Aoi said bitterly.
