At this moment, Tokiomi was also puzzled as to why the head of the Einzbern Family had so abruptly come to meet him.
He had originally thought it would be Acht himself who came, but upon not seeing Acht's figure, he was momentarily stunned.
Fortunately, Tokiomi did spot Irisviel. From her appearance, he could tell she was a main member of the Einzbern Family, perhaps even the Einzbern heir!
Of course...
It couldn't be ruled out that she was also a Master, and this visit might possibly be to discuss the Holy Grail War with him.
Maybe an alliance, or perhaps something else?
As for Kaito...
Tokiomi looked at his tall and straight heroic posture, his incomparably handsome face, and his dominating aura, and couldn't help but furrow his brow.
He couldn't figure it out, and at the same time, Kaito brought him immense pressure.
Even though Kaito hadn't said or done anything, he could sense that Kaito was a magus with powerful abilities!
Adding in his aura and attire, his mind was now full of guesses about who Kaito really was.
Maybe he was another such outstanding talent born from an ancient magus family.
Going by the Clock Tower's ranking, Kaito might even be a Grand-ranked magus! (T/N: The Grand mentioned here refers to the magus rank, not the Servant.)
It was because the magical energy Kaito faintly emitted was too astonishing.
"Hehe, welcome to the Tohsaka Residence, guests from Einzbern. I am Tohsaka Tokiomi, the current head of the Tohsaka Family!"
Tokiomi introduced himself, and also introduced his wife and two daughters.
But perhaps because she was about to be given away, he didn't say much about Sakura. Regarding Rin, he stated that she would inherit the Tohsaka Family.
Aoi was slightly startled by Kaito, her face flushing slightly before she restrained herself and gently nodded.
Little Rin, however, couldn't hide her feelings, her face clearly showing the words "so handsome".
Sakura was a bit better, just looking surprised, feeling this big brother was very handsome.
Conversely, Irisviel was also curiously observing the pitiable Aoi and her two cute daughters.
As for Illya, she was naturally also observing the two girls younger than herself. Apparently, one of them would be her future little sister~
This made Illya both expectant and curious.
'Why would someone else's daughter become my little sister?'
"Hello, I am Kaito, the current head of the Einzbern Family. This is my wife, Irisviel von Einzbern, and this is my daughter, Illyasviel von Einzbern."
Hearing this, it seemed like Kaito had married into the Einzbern Family.
It was just that Kaito was too lazy to change Illya's name, so he let it be.
"I see... Welcome, welcome."
Tokiomi had many questions. Originally, Jubstacheit was the Clan Head, so why did it become Kaito, an outsider?
But thinking he was Irisviel's husband, it didn't seem impossible.
Gracefully and calmly, he invited Kaito and the others inside, then had Aoi brew tea for them.
Tokiomi remained silent, holding his large ruby-topped staff, waiting for the tea to be ready.
His mind was now focused on guessing the purpose of Kaito's visit. Only after the tea was brewed did he use drinking it as an opportunity to ask.
"So, Kaito-san, may I ask the purpose of your visit?"
As the head of the Einzbern Family, this visit surely wasn't for something trivial.
"Heh, it's about you, and your daughter Tohsaka Sakura."
"Oh? What about me and my daughter Sakura?"
Sensing something, Tokiomi took a sip of tea and asked again gracefully, though his blue eyes held a hint of shadow, clearly somewhat angered.
"I wish to adopt your daughter. I hope you can agree."
Kaito didn't mince words, getting straight to the point.
"Adopt my daughter? May I ask what about my daughter Sakura has caught your eye? Or perhaps the Einzbern Family's eye?"
His elegance began to fade, the smile he maintained at the corner of his mouth slowly turning into anger.
He had already agreed with Zouken; it was basically impossible to change.
But now Kaito suddenly appears and says he wants to adopt his daughter. Even if he was going to transfer Sakura to the Matou Family, it doesn't mean this guy can just come and take her!
Even if he is one of the Three Founding Families, the Einzbern Family!
Or rather, precisely because he is from the Einzbern Family, it's even more suspicious!
The Matou Family had no outstanding magus descendants, which is why they came to him.
And he was troubled by the matter of Sakura, so he agreed.
'Your Einzbern Family can produce heirs as easily as playing; not to mention Irisviel, even that Illyasviel she's holding is an excellent heir!!'
'Does I, Tokiomi, look like a fool to you!'
"Perhaps your daughter is very cute, and you're about to transfer her to the Matou Family, right? But I'm about to go destroy the Matou Family next, so transferring her would be pointless anyway, wouldn't it?"
"Wh-what!? You, you're going to destroy the Matou Family!?"
He finally couldn't maintain his composure.
Tokiomi was shocked by Kaito's words.
'What kind of grudge was this? Arriving in Fuyuki City and immediately wanting to destroy one of the Three Founding Families, the Matou Family?'
'Had the Einzbern Family gotten too big for their britches, or had the Matou Family's blades grown dull?'
'Even if the Matou Family had no outstanding heirs, wasn't the long-lived Matou Family's head, Matou Zouken, raised on eating bugs?'
'How could you possibly destroy them just because you say so!'
"Heh, yes. So, wouldn't it be better for me to adopt your daughter instead of sending her to the Matou Family?"
"As for why you are giving up your daughter, I won't ask for now. At the very least, I can see your daughter is excellent, and I can nurture her into an outstanding magus, perhaps even surpassing you."
Kaito replied calmly, a hint of sarcasm on his face.
Tokiomi's expression turned ugly after hearing this.
This was his territory, after all. If Kaito killed off the Matou Family on his turf, where would the Tohsaka Family's dignity be!?
Besides, what Kaito called adopting his daughter—how was that any different from outright taking her!?
"Hehehe, this old man seems to have heard some very amusing news."
"Matou Zouken!"
A sinister laugh came from outside the house. Tokiomi immediately recognized it as Zouken upon hearing the voice.
But he was also puzzled, 'Didn't we agree on 9 o'clock? Why had he come before the time was up!'
"Excuse me, I'll go handle him first..."
"No need, I'll go see him myself."
'Didn't he think it was very amusing?'
'Then I should let him show a healthy smile!'
