Chapter 795: Faruzuki Tokito: Fate is in My Hands!
"My name is Kiryu Sakura, and I have no connection to your Faruzuki family. Please don't use concern as an excuse to get close to me, as your act only makes me feel disgusted."
Even facing her once beloved gentle mother, young Sakura felt no affection at this moment.
When she was trapped in the insect swarm, crying day and night, Sakura had once called out for help to her so-called relatives in her heart. But the thought of those who pushed her into the abyss—her supposed parents—only deepened her despair.
The insect swarm's magic circuit modification only brought her physical pain, but the betrayal and abandonment of her family were on a spiritual level.
Sakura couldn't understand why, when compared to her lively and mischievous sister, she was the more obedient and well-behaved one, yet she was the one who was abandoned.
And even after being abandoned, when she was suffering in the Kiryu family, they had the audacity to come to the amusement park and enjoy themselves as a happy family.
If it weren't for Teacher Yecheng, she might still be lying in the dark insect cave of the Kiryu family.
Now that she had been saved, her supposed parents and relatives were using their close relationship as an excuse to show concern, which seemed so insignificant to her.
Seeing his once obedient daughter now so rebellious and defiant, Faruzuki Tokito frowned and inwardly thought that the Kiryu family's upbringing was truly lacking.
It made sense; the dwindling Kiryu family was like a candle in the wind, their decline had stripped them of any resemblance to their once noble lineage.
"It must be that Kiryu Ganzai who has corrupted you!"
Faruzuki Tokito could only attribute Sakura's sudden rebelliousness to her fiance, and as he spoke, he reached out to grab Sakura.
But before his hand could touch her, Lancelot, standing guard beside her, had seen enough.
With a crisp "crack," Faruzuki Tokito's hand was snapped by Lancelot.
Faruzuki Kui, on the other hand, acted more gracefully, simply waving her right hand to create a gust of wind that pushed the wife away.
As a chivalrous Knight of the Lake, he would not lay a hand on a woman, and he could sense that Faruzuki Tokito, a mage, was no match for Faruzuki Kui, an ordinary person.
"Please don't approach my Master casually. My Master has made it clear that she wants nothing more to do with you.
People should bear the consequences of their actions, shouldn't they?"
Lancelot had no fondness for the Faruzuki family, except for the innocent Faruzuki Rin.
In his eyes, a father who sacrificed his daughter for personal gain and ambition was no better than scum.
The pain Sakura endured was beyond Faruzuki Tokito's comprehension. For them to now use the chains of familial love to bind her was truly laughable.
"Berserker, let's go. There's no need to waste more time with them."
Having said what needed to be said, Sakura decisively turned to leave.
Though she could use Command Spells to have Lancelot help her take revenge, she wasn't fully corrupted yet. Having found her place, she only wanted to sever ties with her past.
Faruzuki Tokito, his hand broken, had been wondering about Lancelot's origins.
Although it was not unusual for servants in noble households to address their masters as "Master," the sudden mention of "Berserker" by Sakura caused Faruzuki Tokito's pupils to contract in surprise.
As one of the Three Founding Families, the Kiryu Family's involvement in the Holy Grail War was not unexpected to Faruzuki Tokito. However, he was shocked to learn that the Kiryu Family's participant was not Kiryu Zangyin, the head of the family, nor the incompetent Kiryu Ganzai, but his own adopted daughter, Sakura!
Faruzuki Tokito's expression lit up with excitement at this realization. He had initially thought that Sakura's plan to usurp the Kiryu Family would take at least a decade or two to bear fruit, but he was amazed that she had already become capable of representing the Kiryu Family in the Holy Grail War in such a short time.
Faruzuki Tokito did not dwell on how Sakura had managed to summon a Heroic Spirit with her current level of mana, as it was not unusual for a family with a 200-year-old noble heritage like the Kiryu Family to have some foundation in magecraft.
The key now was that in this Holy Grail War, Faruzuki Tokito had summoned the ultra-powerful Heroic Spirit, the Primordial King Gilgamesh, and had the assistance of his disciple, Kirei. If he could also gain the support of his daughter, Sakura, then he would effectively control almost half of the seven classes in the Holy Grail War. What could the other Masters do to compete with him?
Although Sakura was currently acting rebellious, Faruzuki Tokito did not consider this a significant issue. After all, they were family, connected by blood, and Sakura was still a child who might act stubbornly without considering the bigger picture.
Faruzuki Tokito believed that with a proper display of paternal love and a subsequent heart-to-heart talk, he could almost certainly resolve this situation.
He knew that his two daughters, Faruzuki Rin and Sakura, had inherited their mother's beauty and temperament, respectively.
After sending Faruzuki Kui and Faruzuki Rin back, Faruzuki Tokito contacted the Shining Gilgamesh, who was currently playing a racing game. The sudden call interrupted the game, causing the Primordial King to be quite annoyed.
"Tokito, you had better have a good reason for this interruption, or I will show you the consequences of disturbing my leisure time," the Primordial King said angrily.
"My apologies, Your Majesty, for the abrupt interruption. But I have important news to share. I have discovered another Heroic Spirit Servant, and although the Holy Grail War has not officially begun, testing the strength of other Servants might provide valuable insights, even if defeated Servants are not eliminated."
Faruzuki Tokito would have preferred not to call upon Gilgamesh as a father figure, as while the Primordial King had gained power and prestige, it was challenging to command him. Moreover, Faruzuki Tokito intended to keep Gilgamesh as his ace in the hole, as it was a common strategy in the Holy Grail War to avoid revealing powerful Servants early on to prevent becoming a target for other Masters to unite against.
However, Faruzuki Tokito had no choice now. To convince Sakura, he had to deal with her Berserker Servant first. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the chance to show his belated fatherly love, let alone get close to Sakura.
"Do you think I need to test the strength of these insignificant Servants?" Gilgamesh asked with a hint of displeasure.
"Of course not, Your Majesty. I merely suggest that a display of power would demonstrate your might to the other Heroic Spirits. Perhaps, by the time the Holy Grail War officially begins, they will have already submitted to your greatness."
