"Ahem..."
Tang Hao coughed twice, startling Rin Harasaka, who was at a loss for what to do because of the awkwardness, and Yoshinari Onagi, who was acting so skillfully and so realistically. He walked over and said, "Anyway, that's the basic situation."
"What basic situation? This isn't scientific at all!" Rin roared, his face red.
"As a magician, do you still believe in science? Or do you think that Misato doesn't look like you? Or … do you think that the Holy Grail can't do this? "Tang Hao asked.
"Wah …" Motosa Rin was at a loss for words. The Holy Grail was an omnipotent wishing machine. Even her own father wished to obtain the Holy Grail and enter the [Origin]. If someone really did obtain the Holy Grail and wished to travel through time and space, it might be possible, but … she was only out to catch a thief, so how did she end up with a daughter and husband? That was unacceptable!
"Anyway, no matter what you say, I still have a lot of doubts about this matter. You want me to acknowledge and accept you? This … this … this is impossible!"
"Well, Misato, that's what your mother said." Tang Hao spread his hands and looked at Yōi Misato, hinting that it was time for her to perform.
Yōi Misato immediately put on an expression like an abandoned rabbit. She tugged at Rin's sleeve and cried, "Mother, do you really not want Misato anymore? Misato just wants to live with you … Sob sob sob … "
"Daughter, don't force your mother." Tang Hao shook his head and sighed. "She's only a seventeen-year-old girl now. To her, we're just strangers. I'm already content to see her like this. As for us father and daughter … although we can't return to the future, we can only live in this era that doesn't belong to us. Even if we have to live on the streets, even if we freeze to death or starve to death, that's our fate. Let's live together … Sob sob sob …"
"Ah ah ah ah, I know, I know!"
He stomped his feet and gritted his teeth. "I can allow the two of you to go back with me, but that doesn't mean I've accepted you. It's just … it's just … Anyway, let's stop here for the time being. Ah, I'm so annoyed!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away without looking back. Every step he took was heavy.
Tang Hao and Yingyi followed behind her. The latter suddenly pulled his arm. When Tang Hao bent down, she whispered in his ear, "When are we going to stop?"
"Hmm …" Tang Hao thought for a moment. "Let's see how it goes. At least for now, it's quite interesting."
"Uncle, you're so bad. Are you trying to seduce her?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm a decent person."
"Hmph, a decent man wouldn't sneak into a girl's room. I heard it clearly just now."
"… That's right. A decent man wouldn't think about defeating his own mother and marrying his own father."
"Hmm …"
"Hehe."
The two bad guys stared at each other, and then simultaneously revealed a sinister smile.
…
It was almost midnight when they arrived at the Enaka Residence. In the past, Enaka Rin would have either gone to bed or started her pre-bedtime exercise. But now, she wasn't in the mood to do so. The two burdens behind her made her feel like a mess.
Her future husband and daughter traveled through time and space to see her. Whether it was real or not, this was too much. Even in the world of magicians, there was no need to be so reckless. Could they at least respect the timeline a little?!
What was even more outrageous was that the future Enaka Rin wasn't married even when she was in her thirties. Didn't this mean that no one would want her until she was thirty? Was there any justice in this world? After all, she was the number one beauty of Suigumoto Academy. Although that was what the outside world called her, she had never acknowledged it.
Fine, she wasn't a gentle girl. Her image as a perfect top student in school was also deliberately packaged. It was impossible to imagine that she would have a normal relationship like an ordinary girl. She liked to play pranks, act rashly, and speak sarcastically. She wasn't cute at all. She wasn't good at cleaning or Eight Extremities Boxing, and she wasn't the type of girl that boys would like. But no matter what, it was still too much to get married in her thirties!
Even if it was me, I also hope to have a romantic relationship!
Ahhhh, this was terrible!
"Wait!" Enaka Rin suddenly thought of something. She sat on the sofa and looked at Tang Hao. "You're father and daughter. Why do you look so young? Are you twenty-five? "
Tang Hao smiled. "Because I look young. Although I look like I'm in my early twenties, I'm actually an old man in his fifties."
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Tang Hao looked at the wide-eyed Yui Miina and thought, 'It's fine if Enaka Rin is surprised, but why are you surprised as well? I'm obviously lying! '
"How can there be such an old man!" Lin Enaka couldn't help but roar again. It sounded like a lie, but … no one would use such a lie to deceive others, right? It sounded like a lie, but it was actually the truth. This kind of thing was not uncommon.
"I'm such an old man. Back then … oh no, to be precise, in the future, it was because I looked young that you liked me. You said I gave you the feeling of a younger man."
"Huh, so Mom has a younger man complex?"
"No … don't say anymore!" Enaka Rin covered her eyes and waved her hands. She didn't want to hear this kind of future information at all. She wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Fine. Since you don't want to hear it, I won't say anymore," Tang Hao said with a smile.
The reason why he made up such a lie was simply to see Enaka Rin's reaction when he was scared. Even without this lie, he had other ways to get close to Enaka Rin. But it was quite interesting at the moment, so he was not in a hurry to expose it. Enaka Rin's words were exactly what he wanted. After all, the more he said, the easier it was for him to expose himself.
"Let's talk about the Holy Grail War. The fifth Holy Grail War should have already begun, right?"
"You know about it too? Ah, right. Since you came to this era through the Holy Grail, of course you know about the Holy Grail War." Enaka Rin found an excuse for himself. "That's right. The Holy Grail War has already begun. That's why I went to stop you. At first, I thought it was some magician who snuck into my house to spy on me. I didn't expect …"
Ah, why did we go back to that matter?
Smack!
Enaka Rin slapped the armrest angrily. "Just talk about the Holy Grail War. Don't go off topic!"
'Hey, you're the one who went off topic, right?'
Tang Hao was speechless, but he pretended to be a good man. "Of course, we're only talking about the Holy Grail War. In fact, before we met you, we already met a servant. It was Lancer's Cuchulin. So, which servant did you summon?"
In the original story, the servant that Enaka Rin summoned was the future Shiro Emiya. But it was definitely different now.
In the Holy Grail War, there were two main conditions to summon a servant. The first was a holy relic, and the second was compatibility. For example, the original Sakura Mamatsura summoned Medusa because both of them had similar tragic experiences. Enaka Toshimi summoned Golden Shiner because he had a snakeskin fossil as a holy relic. Of course, there were also a combination of the two. For example, Iskandar. If it wasn't for Wilbur's high compatibility with him, even if he had a holy relic, he would most likely only summon Iskandar's subordinates.
In the original story, Enaka Rin summoned a heroic spirit, Emiya. One reason was that she dropped the ball at a critical moment, and the other was that her necklace was the perfect medium to contact Shiro Emiya.
Shiro Emiya accidentally witnessed a battle between servants and was killed by Cuchulin. Enaka Rin used all the magic in the necklace given to her by her father to save Shiro Emiya's life, and the necklace became a holy relic to summon heroic spirits.
The reason why Enaka Rin was willing to pay such a huge price to save Shiro Emiya was for Sakura Mamatsura. He didn't want Sakura's only hope to disappear. But now, Sakura Mamatsura no longer existed in this world. This most important link was gone. Regardless of whether anything else changed, the connection between Enaka Rin and Shiro Emiya was no longer there. It was almost impossible to summon heroic spirits to Emiya.
"My follower? Of course, he's already been summoned. " Enaka Rin smiled mysteriously. "Although that person's ability is very reliable … No, it's more accurate to say that he's too reliable. He's like a sandstorm that destroys everything around him. So, let me keep this a secret for now."
'A sandstorm …'
Tang Hao frowned slightly. He was a little bothered by the description.
"What about the other participants? How much do you know about them? "
"Hmm …" Just as Enaka Rin was about to answer, he suddenly thought of something. He frowned and said unhappily, "Hey, what do you mean? Are you questioning me or trying to get information out of me? Why do I have to tell you everything I know? "
"Of course, if you know yourself and your enemy, you'll always be victorious. Information is also an indispensable part of the Holy Grail War. As long as we have enough information, we'll be able to defeat our enemies one by one. Otherwise, it'll be like the blind trying to figure out an elephant."
"You sound like you're also a participant in the Holy Grail War …" Enaka Rin stood up unhappily and said sternly, "This is my Holy Grail War. It took me years of hard work to inherit it from my father. No matter what, I'm still a magician. I don't need any help from outsiders. Are you looking down on me?"
"Of course I'm not looking down on you, but I'm not an outsider."
"Then who are you?"
"I'm your future husband." Tang Hao blinked matter-of-factly.
"…"
Enaka Rin was instantly speechless.
A moment later, she sat down dejectedly, her eyes filled with despair.
"Let's continue talking about the Holy Grail War."
