"Father, I've caught a thief!"

Although his daughter was safe, Tokiomi Tohsaka rushed to his yard as quickly as possible. What appeared before him was his daughter, who looked like she wanted to praise him, and a man he had never seen before, wearing a black robe and Mask, lying on the ground. His daughter was pressing a Gems to the man's forehead.

If it weren't for Kirei Kotomine's obvious "inhuman" aura, Tokiomi Tohsaka would probably have mistaken this suspiciously dressed guy for an intruder. However, he is now his daughter's captive, since there is only one Srvant in the world right now.

"Stop fooling around, Rin. This is a helper that Kirei and I invited."

"But he was acting suspiciously, and he suddenly appeared in front of me, and he was talking nonsense. He must be a bad person."

"Cold..."

"It's alright, Tohsaka." Jizi, rising from the ground, interrupted Tokiomi's lecture to the little girl [Jizi: What if this lowers the little girl's affection level?], gracefully brushing off non-existent dust from her body, then maintaining her "elegant" demeanor with a slight bow. "For your daughter to possess such strength at such a young age is a rare talent, even in the mythical era. Given time, achieving True Magic is not impossible."

While he didn't know what the current Assassin's personality was like as a human, his attitude and manners seemed to have hit Tokiomi's sweet spot. Coupled with the very flattering praise he gave his successor, Tokiomi Tohsaka's attitude became noticeably more friendly, and he no longer cared much about the little farce that had just occurred. "It's really too much praise. History is full of examples of people with exceptional talent who have faded into obscurity due to lack of training. My daughter's magical cultivation is still very raw; too much praise would only make her arrogant."

"I truly admire your strict upbringing, but it's still necessary to give the younger generation the recognition and encouragement they deserve. I've seen many Magecraft, including some with extraordinary achievements, so please believe my evaluation is absolutely accurate and objective." Seeing Tokiomi Tohsaka's smug yet "politely humble" affected demeanor, although she was inwardly criticizing this so-called aristocratic practice, Jizi was happy to spout some nonsense and boost her favorability... Wait, boosting Tokiomi's favorability? I'm clearly boosting Loli Rin's favorability, okay! Besides, a higher Tokiomi favorability would reduce the chances of being killed off in the future. Although there are ways to survive, nobody wants to be ganged up on by a thousand spearmen if they can avoid it.

Rin Tohsaka watched as the captured thief quickly became acquainted with her father, exchanging polite greetings and casual conversation. She was somewhat bewildered by this unexpected turn of events, so she turned to her senior brother standing nearby and asked, "Is that suspicious fellow really my father's accomplice?"

"No, and he also plays an important role in Master's plan."

"Can someone who never shows their face when talking to others really be trusted?" (Novel website does not skip words.)

"In terms of ability, there is no one more trustworthy than him."

Is it merely a matter of ability? Rin Tohsaka turned her gaze back to the black robe. Just then, Jizi and Tokiomi's pointless bickering ended, and Jizi turned around to meet the little girl's suspicious gaze. However, in the next instant, Rin Tohsaka adopted a Lady expression, walked to a spot slightly behind and to the side of her father, and Jizi a slight bow, saying, "I am truly sorry for offending you without knowing beforehand. I hope you will not take the previous unpleasantness as part of the Tohsaka Family's hospitality."

Jizi returned the greeting, of course. "Not at all, it was I who was impolite. I was just trying to gauge the skill level of the heir to the prestigious Tohsaka Family magical family."

Although it only lasted a moment on Rin's face, the other three still caught the smug look on her face. This little girl, who didn't yet have the title of Crimson Demon, couldn't shake off her childlike nature no matter how much she tried to act mature. She was incredibly cute! Who says bratty kids are annoying? Aren't there adorable types too?

"However, to cover one's face while doing so is extremely impolite. Judging from your previous behavior, you are not the kind of person who doesn't know manners, are you?"

To retract my earlier statement, it's true that overly curious and mischievous kids are still quite annoying.

"Should we take off the Mask?" Jizi kept giving the other two meaningful glances, but Kirei Kotomine wanted a srvant-looking face anyway, Tokiomi Tohsaka agreed with his daughter's words, so neither of them responded to Jizi.

As mentioned in the setting, Jizi is a hardcore lolicon. Jizi can easily appease Mapo or Tokiomi's requests—after all, no ASTR would use Command Seals for something like "appearance." But what if it's a cute little loli's request?... Damn it, my right hand, what are you doing? Stop reaching up there! Can't my burning lolicon soul take a break? Stop, my right hand! Back when it still had a penis, you were the one who constantly made decisions for me, leading me astray time and time again. Now you're going to be so dictatorial again? Stop it now, get it off my face... Good job, Xiao Zuo! Go stop Xiao You... Wait, Xiao Zuo! You're grabbing Xiao You, not my Mask! Xiao Zuo, have you betrayed me too? No...

"Rin, see you."

"See."

Having finished her school day, Rin Tohsaka packed up and said goodbye to her classmates. Balancing Magecraft training with regular elementary school studies, and excelling at both to an almost perfect degree, leaving a positive impression on both teachers and classmates—if this were before her transmigration, Jizi would definitely have viewed her with strong prejudice, because they would undoubtedly consider her, someone who exuded an aura completely out of place, as a class enemy.

However, considering the influence of her lolicon boyfriend and Rin Tohsaka's future fate, Jizi certainly wouldn't do that. But she wasn't exactly giving him a friendly look either, because...

"Ah Sa Xin, let's..."

"Okay, give me your backpack and please get in the car."

Taking Rin's bag, Kiko, who had been waiting at the school gate for fifteen minutes, enduring the Jizi of those around her as if they were pandas in a zoo, quickly moved to the car parked not far away. She tried to pretend she couldn't hear the whispers around her, "Is that a woman?" "I heard she's the new butler hired by the Tohsaka Family." "She's the one who brought Rin Tohsaka to school this morning." "What a beautiful person! That hair... is she a foreigner?" "Such an elegant person." "As expected of the prestigious Tohsaka Family, even their butler is so capable." She maintained a smile like Sakuya Izayoi, but her eyes kept sending a "hurry up, brat!" signal to the twin-tailed loli who was still moving slowly with "Lady steps."

Just as many clever classmates had imagined, Jizi was currently dressed in a butler's uniform, her long silver hair tied into a ponytail hanging down her back. She wasn't wearing Mask, and combined with the aura she'd developed from being a Jizi for many years, it wouldn't be surprising to initially mistake her for a very handsome man. However, upon closer inspection, one might wonder, "Is she a boy or a girl?" [Jizi: I even used my Mask -changing ability to subtly adjust the angles of my face.] But Rin's words completely ruined Jizi's plan [Jizi: Damn it, didn't we agree to call him "brother"? If it weren't for that "Onii-chan" and avoiding Mapo Kotobukiya's philosophically probing gaze, I wouldn't have done this.]

At that time, due to Tokiomi Tohsaka circumstances, Jizi's appearance was exposed. After a brief moment of surprise, Kirei Kotomine was the first to recover. He casually complimented Jizi's appearance and wisely didn't continue the topic. Back at the Church, he felt uncomfortable under Kirei Kotomine's "inquisitive" gaze, so he expressed his views on tactics to his boss, then "inadvertently" steered the conversation towards Qiegao, exaggerating his dangerousness. He mentioned that Qiegao was exceptionally skilled at "capturing the target's family as hostages, threatening the target, and then killing them," and that "this Qiegao without the pride of Magecraft is highly likely to kidnap Rin for the Holy Grail," blah blah blah. In short, he ended up getting a job as a bodyguard during the day, escorting Rin and closely monitoring the situation in Fuyuki City. After all, the Holy Grail War hadn't officially started yet, and the assassin's work wasn't that important. If something happened to Rin, Tokiomi would have nowhere to cry, so he decisively approved Jizi's plan. At the same time, Tokiomi Tohsaka increased a little. [Jizi: Something feels off. Am I really not progressing in my route?]

As for Tohsaka Loli, her attitude became subtle after seeing Jizi's true face. She seemed to feel that if such a young woman like Jizi could be entrusted with such an important task by her father, then she couldn't afford to fall behind, and a strange sense of resistance arose within her. [Jizi: I was clearly trying to increase Loli's affection, but this is how it ended up. Which option did I choose?]

When Jizi casually said, "I'll grant you one request if you call me Onii-chan," Rin seized on it and used "one" "Onii-chan" in exchange for Jizi having to "always" show her true face when she was around, which led to the scene before.

Although being tricked by those brats was a bit annoying, Ji Zi figured it would only last a few days. Besides, she only needed to materialize when going to and from school; otherwise, she was in Spiritual Body. Being able to blend in with a group of little girls and observe their lives up close was a relief, so Jizi tossed that little bit of annoyance to a place where even the stick couldn't reach her.
