"Huh——"
Rin, who was only six years old, stood in the magic workshop in the basement, took a deep breath, and activated Magic Circuit in his body at the formation array on the parchment.
moment!
The harsh blue light illuminated the originally dark room.
A small piece of crystal completed the form transformation under the control of the girl at an extremely fast speed.
Just when she thought she would succeed soon, the flow of magic power suddenly became unstable.
In particular, the blue light flickered on and off, which immediately made the little guy a little confused, trying to stabilize the flow of magic power.
Unfortunately, all these efforts were in vain.
With a bang, black smoke emerged from the formation, and the molding that had been mostly completed completely failed, leaving only a broken crystal.
Seeing this scene, tears immediately began to well up in Lin's eyes, and her baby-fat little face was filled with intense frustration.
Because not long ago, she had heard that her sister Sakura had become one of the Masters of this Holy Grail War, and had also concluded a contract with the strongest Heroic Spirit Berserker.
Even his father, who rarely praised others, couldn't help but praise Sakura for inheriting the best bloodline of Tohsaka family.
But what about her?
She can't even perform the most basic magic right now.
Just when the little guy wiped away his tears and wanted to try again, he suddenly found two figures suddenly appearing in the dark corner behind the bookshelf.
Out of her subconscious first reaction, she immediately took two steps back and asked loudly, "Who? Who is there!"
"Don't be nervous, it's me."
Accompanied by a familiar voice, Sakura, wearing a gothic dress, walked out slowly, lifted the corners of her skirt and gracefully performed a standard ladylike salute. "Good evening! Sister..."
And the person standing behind her is naturally Allen.
"Sakura?!"
Although the two sisters had not seen each other for more than a year, Rin immediately recognized his sister and wanted to rush up to her and hold her in her arms several times, but in the end she gave up for some unknown reason.
The two just stared into each other's eyes and fell into a very awkward silence.
I have to say that Tokiomi did a really good job. He had the heart to separate his two lovely daughters without even asking for their wishes.
Just when Allen was about to stand up and lighten the atmosphere a little, a man's voice suddenly came from the stairs.
"Rin! Back off! Sakura is no longer your sister. Her current name is Matou Sakura, and she represents Matou in this year's Holy Grail War."
Soon, a handsome man wearing a red suit and a small goatee came out.
He is none other than the current head of Tohsaka family, the biological father of sisters Sakura and Rin, and the largest Pot King in the world - Tohsaka Tokiomi.
There is no doubt that the appearance of this guy instantly made Sakura, who was still a little excited, regain his composure. At the same time, he greeted in a tone without any emotion, "Father, I am very happy to see you again."
"I'm also very happy to meet you in this Holy Grail War, Sakura." Tokiomi responded with a smile.
It is not difficult to tell from the twinkling smile in his eyes that he is really happy to meet his biological daughter in this kind of war where Magus are fighting each other.
Allen is undoubtedly aware of this, and is also aware that these so-called Magus are fundamentally different from ordinary people in terms of worldview and values.
Especially for a traditional Magus family like Tokiomi, the ultimate goal is to reach Root, create new magic, or reproduce the magic that has appeared in the past.
As long as this goal can be achieved, even one's own life can be used as a bargaining chip on the scales, let alone one's son and daughter.
"What is the purpose of your coming here late at night?" Tokiomi asked carefully, keeping a distance.
At this moment, he has entered a state of combat readiness. As long as he finds something a little wrong, he will immediately use Command Spells to summon his Servant Golden Flash.
"There is no special purpose. I just want to tell my father that your little tricks have been seen through. Whether it is Kotomine Kirei or Holy Church's priest, it is no longer a secret to help you capture Holy Grail in secret. Since the church has lost its neutrality, they will also become targets of attacks from now on. After all, now that you have made a choice, you must be prepared to bear the consequences."
Sakura said all the words taught by Allen without any expression on his face.
Although she looked like a five-year-old girl, only half the height of an adult, the biting cold emanating from her froze the workshop, which was built with a large amount of defensive magic, and the white frost spread to every corner at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few seconds, the temperature in the basement dropped to below zero.
In such an extremely harsh environment, Rin, who was wearing a short skirt and a white shirt, was suddenly shivering from the cold, and at the same time, there was unconcealable shock in his eyes.
She couldn't believe that her sister, who had no experience with magic a year ago, had become so powerful and terrifying now.
Similarly, Tokiomi is no less shocked than her eldest daughter now, and there are even a few drops of sweat on her forehead.
Because he suddenly discovered that if he took action, he might really be Sakura's opponent.
After all, the two magics of ice and fire restrain each other. Whoever has more magic power will often have an overwhelming advantage in the confrontation.
Seeing this picture of "Father's love, daughter's filial piety", Allen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, bent down and whispered in the girl's ear, "Master, we should go."
"Then goodbye, sister, and father. No matter how you struggle, Holy Grail War's victory this time will only belong to me and Berserker."
After saying this, Sakura directly put his arms around Allen's neck, letting the latter pick him up, then smashed a big hole in the wall with a bang, and walked out as if there was no one around.
This deafening loud noise undoubtedly alarmed Tokiomi's wife, Aoi, who rushed in from outside and asked with concern, "What's going on? What happened?"
"Mom! It's... it's Sakura! She... she came back just now!" Rin replied with a slightly trembling voice.
"Sakura?" Upon hearing her little daughter's name, the mother suddenly became excited and asked loudly, "Where is she? No! No! Is she okay now?"
"Don't worry, Sakura is in great shape now. She came here to demonstrate to my father. Look at the white frost covering this room. She created it out of thin air. To be honest, I'm not sure whether I am Sakura's opponent or not." Tokiomi took a deep breath and explained to his wife.
"Show... demonstration? Are you saying that she has regarded you as an enemy?" Aoi opened her mouth wide as if she couldn't believe what her ears were hearing.
But Tokiomi smiled and nodded, "Yes! Even I didn't expect that Sakura could be so outstanding. She has unknowingly become the strongest opponent among Holy Grail War this year."
"But... this means you have to fight each other, right?" Aoi showed a worried look in her eyes.
As a descendant of the Magus family, although she had realized as early as the moment her youngest daughter was sent away that some tragedy of fratricide would occur one day in the future, she never expected that this day would come so early, and that the target would be the father and daughter.
"Well! Don't be sad, because this is the best destination for all Magus. Whether I kill Sakura or she kills me, it means that the descendants of Tohsaka family have become the winners of Holy Grail War. What's more, I have already been mentally prepared for this."
After saying that, Tokiomi patted his wife's shoulder comfortingly and turned to leave, not noticing that his eldest daughter Rin was clenching her fists tightly and tears were falling down her cheeks.
At the same time, Sakura, who had returned to the top floor of the building, had changed into special training clothes and was practicing close combat skills, fighting back and forth with Moon Cell Liquid, who had transformed into a human.
Allen sat aside and watched, giving some reminders and guidance from time to time.
After about half an hour, this little loli, who was soaked in sweat, stopped, smoothed her hair that was stuck to her face with sweat, and asked very curiously, "Allen, why didn't we just take my sister away just now?"
"Take away? No, no, no, if we do that, we will become the villains who abduct and kidnap children." Allen smiled and shook his head.
The reason why he suddenly decided to go to Tohsaka family was, on the one hand, for the sake of Rin who was getting younger, and on the other hand, it was to put some pressure on Tokiomi to see if this guy could always remain calm and elegant after his conspiracy was exposed.
"Huh? Is that so?"
Sakura instantly came out to kill, and with his training uniform embroidered with cartoon patterns, his cuteness instantly exploded.
"Of course! And... I have left a mark on Rin. Whenever she is in danger, I can arrive in an instant." As he said that, a mark of Flying Thunder God Technique appeared on Allen's palm.
If he remembered correctly, this little guy with twin tails was quite bold in the original plot. He actually dared to investigate the missing child case of Fuyuki City, and even had an encounter with Uryuu Ryunosuke, a pervert, and almost became a lamb in the wolf's mouth.
In the end, if Matou Kariya hadn't appeared in time, Rin might have died before Fifth Holy Grail War could wait.
But now that Matou Kariya had been killed early, he naturally had to shoulder his responsibilities and kill the pair of perverted murderers.
"Oh! Then I'm going to take a shower! It feels so sticky and uncomfortable."
Hearing that her sister was not in danger, Sakura immediately smiled with relief and jumped into the bathroom.
After a while, the sound of rushing water came from inside.
