The Fuyuki City Church welcomed two girls, one big and one small, at this moment.
Tohsaka Rin frowned as she looked at the girl beside her who had been chattering all the way, and said somewhat irritably.
"Hey, I'm telling you, I've arrived, you can go back now."
"Ah, we're here already? But little Rin, you still haven't told me where you learned that martial arts."
Tohsaka Rin looked at the troublesome Fujimura Taiga in front of her, rolled her eyes, and said crossly.
"Then come with me, but remember to shut up. You talk too much."
Fujimura Taiga hurriedly nodded, closed her mouth, and used her hand to mimic a zipping motion, indicating that she would be careful and not speak anymore.
In the garden of the Church, Shirou Kotomine was clumsily imitating Kirei Kotomine's Eight Extremities Fist. Suddenly, Kirei Kotomine stopped his movements and looked toward the gate of the Church. Shirou Kotomine, seeing his adoptive father stop practicing, also looked toward the gate of the Church, following Kirei Kotomine's gaze.
Shirou Kotomine saw a cute and exquisite little girl, about the same age as himself, with twin tails, walking into the Church with a youthful and cute girl around 15 years old.
Seeing Tohsaka Rin's arrival, Kirei Kotomine hurriedly walked forward to greet her. Regarding the Tohsaka Family and Tohsaka Rin, Kirei Kotomine felt grateful after finding his life goal, especially toward Tohsaka Rin. Although his life goal was not found with Tohsaka Rin's help, many of Tohsaka Rin's previous actions were only now understood by him, now that he had found his life goal; Tohsaka Rin had actually known long ago that he had no life goal, which was why she used those actions to help him find it.
Kirei Kotomine approached Rin, smiled, and asked her.
"Rin, good morning. Do you need any help coming to the church?"
"Ah, good morning, Kirei. You're... that's not a fake smile. What's going on with you?"
Kirei Kotomine watched the startled Rin and said with a smile.
"Rin, I have found my purpose in life. I want to save those who need help; this is my purpose as a Servant of God. By the way, Rin, let me introduce you. This is my newly adopted son, Shirou Kotomine. Come, Shirou, this is my junior fellow apprentice, Rin Tohsaka."
As Kirei Kotomine spoke, he pulled the Shirou Kotomine behind him forward to stand in front of Rin, signaling for Shirou to greet her.
Shirou Kotomine fidgeted, looking at the little girl in front of him who seemed to be about his age, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.
Rin's eye twitched as she looked at the guy in front of her—the one who should have been Emiya, but had turned into Shirou Kotomine. 'What's going on? What happened last night? Oh well, Kirei Kotomine turning out like this is a good thing after all. Shirou Kotomine is fine. Maybe I can even pick up a useful tool for free.'
After finishing her mental calculations, Rin waved her hand.
"Forget it, Kirei. Your adopted son is about my age; he probably wouldn't be able to call me aunt anyway. Let's just treat each other as equals. By the way, Kirei, I forgot to mention why I came here. Is your father in the church? Also, does your TV work here?"
"Yes, my father is resting in the church, and the TV works. Do you need me to take you there, Rin?"
Just as Rin was about to speak, she heard a grunting sound from behind her and remembered she had brought a troublesome companion.
Meanwhile, Taiga Fujimura, upon entering the garden and seeing the Kirei Kotomine father and son pair practicing in the morning, realized that this was the kung fu master she was looking for. After Rin and Kirei Kotomine finished talking, Taiga Fujimura couldn't hold back anymore, but remembering that Rin told her not to speak, she could only keep grunting to remind Rin.
"By the way, Kirei, this person behind me wants to learn the Eight Extremities Fist. You decide what to do. You don't need to accompany me; I'll go in myself. See you later."
After Rin left the courtyard and went behind the church, Taiga Fujimura performed a dogeza to Kirei Kotomine, kneeling at his feet.
"Master, please accept me as your student!"
"Why do you want to learn martial arts?"
"Master, I have wanted to be a hero and help others since I was a child, but I lack the ability and often cause trouble. Today, when I saw Rin's skills, I realized that such martial arts actually exist in the world. I hope to learn martial arts to better help others."
"To help others, is it? Get up. Starting today, if you are willing, you can come to the church to find me every morning for morning practice..."
"Yes! Thank you, Master!"
Rin walked into the church alone, passing through the long, narrow corridor to the church's backyard.
In the open space of the backyard, Kotomine Risei was standing with his eyes closed, holding an Eight Extremities Fist stance, motionless.
Rin coughed and called out.
"Grandpa Risei."
Kotomine Risei opened his eyes and turned to look at Rin.
"Oh, it's Rin. Is something the matter?"
"Grandpa Risei, what is the church's view on this Fuyuki City incident?"
"Rin, don't worry. I still have some face with the church. I've already notified the nearby churches, only reporting it to the higher-ups as a ley line runaway event. Besides, the church doesn't really care about this Far East region. However, I'm afraid I'm powerless when it comes to the Mages Association."
Hearing Kotomine Risei's words, Rin bowed to him gratefully. 'He's such a good person. Even after I threatened him earlier, he holds no grudge. He truly is a great person.'
"Thank you very much, Grandpa Risei. I've reached an agreement with Kayneth regarding the Mages Association; his faction will help me smooth over this incident. By the way, Grandpa Risei, I'd like to watch some TV. Which room is the TV in?"
"It's in that room over there. Kirei's room has a TV."
"Then I won't disturb your morning practice, Grandpa Risei. See you later."
"Yes, see you later, Rin."
Kotomine Risei watched Rin walk into the room he pointed to and let out a long sigh. 'It's a good thing this girl didn't come to trouble this old man. It's fortunate that I can return to Europe in a few days after handing over the Fuyuki Church to Kirei. Sigh! Brother Tokiomi, your daughter really scared the living daylights out of me last time.'
"...It is reported that Mount Ryudo in Fuyuki City was the epicenter of a magnitude 5.8 earthquake that occurred last night, causing emergency evacuations throughout Fuyuki City..."
Watching the news on TV, seeing that last night's disaster was being treated as an earthquake by ordinary people, Rin finally felt relieved. 'It must have been Kayneth who took action. I wonder how many people were hypnotized. That guy is quite efficient...'
Meanwhile, Kayneth, who was sitting on a plane preparing to return to London with his fiancée and disciple, sneezed.
Sola, sitting next to Kayneth, heard him sneeze and quickly took out a handkerchief to hand to him.
"Are you okay, Kayneth? Did you catch a cold last night?"
Kayneth looked at Sola beside him, revealed a happy smile, reached out to hold her hand, and beamed with happiness.
"Don't worry, Sola, I'm fine."
Waver, sitting to the side, turned his head and curled his lip helplessly. Thinking about how he was now Kayneth's disciple and would have to spend a lot of time around him in the future, he couldn't help but wail inwardly, 'Ah, someone save me! I can't stomach any more PDA...'
