"Alright then, I'll warn you now. Don't get too scared after you hear about it."
"Mhm!" Tohsaka Rin nodded her little head, indicating she understood.
Afterward, Fu Yuan, with the thought that 'Tohsaka Rin might cherish Matou Sakura even more as a sister after learning what happened to her,' played the video he had recorded on his phone for her.
Swarms of Magic Crest Worms that made even adults tremble in fear...
Matou Zouken's true intentions for adopting Matou Sakura...
Just from the images displayed, Tohsaka Rin trembled in fear. She couldn't imagine how terrified her sister Sakura must have been, witnessing and hearing it all firsthand.
Seeing Tohsaka Rin's trembling, emerald-green eyes, Fu Yuan stopped the video playback. He then gently patted her head. "This is what happened to Sakura this morning. Your father, Tohsaka Tokiomi, has gone to investigate the truth. While he's investigating, Sakura will be staying at my place for a while."
Feeling the warmth of Fu Yuan's hand, Tohsaka Rin's heart settled slightly. She looked at her sister, who had her head bowed, and seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
However... Tohsaka Rin didn't know what to say.
As if sensing Tohsaka Rin's inner thoughts, Fu Yuan gently said, "You don't need to say anything. Just holding Little Sakura tightly is enough."
Fu Yuan's words guided Tohsaka Rin. She shifted her hips slightly, moving closer to Matou Sakura, and hugged her poor sister tightly.
"Sister..."
"Yes, I'm here."
Watching the two sisters embrace, a smile gradually appeared on Fu Yuan's handsome face. This was the scene he wanted to see.
As a transmigrator, his purpose was to erase any plot points he couldn't stand, or to eliminate characters he disliked. Otherwise, what was the point of transmigrating...
So, Fu Yuan took action.
He took Matou Sakura away from the Matou family and changed her destiny, preventing her from suffering hellish torment.
Tohsaka Rin, who was hugging Matou Sakura, looked at Fu Yuan's gentle expression. Having calmed down, she asked with confusion, "Brother Fu Yuan, aren't you an ordinary person? Why do you have such immense power?"
Chapter 16: The Elegant and Dignified Young Lady Tohsaka Rin
Tohsaka Rin's mind was now filled with questions. She had always thought of this elder neighbor brother as an ordinary person, but she never expected him to be a powerful being capable of obliterating a large group of disgusting Magic Crest Worms.
It was like... the ordinary boy she liked suddenly transformed into an unattainable tycoon right before her eyes.
The stark contrast presented by Fu Yuan now made Tohsaka Rin's head spin.
Matou Sakura, on the other hand, wasn't as conflicted as Tohsaka Rin. She wasn't curious if Fu Yuan was ordinary or not. All she knew was that Fu Yuan was the hero who had saved her from hell.
For Matou Sakura, remembering this was enough.
Facing Tohsaka Rin's curiosity and confusion, Fu Yuan smiled and shrugged. "I am an ordinary person. Just an ordinary person with a little bit of power. Besides, you never asked me if I was ordinary, Rin."
"Ugh..." Tohsaka Rin was speechless.
She really hadn't asked Fu Yuan if he was ordinary. After all, who would ask such a question?
"Hey, are you an ordinary person?"
If someone asked that, they'd probably be considered crazy.
Just as Fu Yuan was looking at the two sisters, Tohsaka Rin and Matou Sakura, his doorbell suddenly rang.
Ding dong~
Fu Yuan looked at the direction of the door in surprise. Although he had been in this world for several months, he had spent most of his time at home. He didn't have any friends and wasn't very familiar with his neighbors, so he didn't expect anyone to come looking for him.
With a hint of confusion, Fu Yuan left the living room to open the door.
As the door opened, the figure standing outside appeared in Fu Yuan's eyes. He was wearing a deep red suit, exuding an elegant and composed demeanor.
Upon clearly seeing who the visitor was, Fu Yuan instinctively closed the door he had just opened.
Bang~
The smile Tohsaka Tokiomi had deliberately put on froze. He stared blankly at the door that had been suddenly shut. However, before he could react, the door Fu Yuan had subconsciously closed opened again.
Fu Yuan clicked his tongue at Tohsaka Tokiomi outside the door. "Seriously, it's really you."
When he first saw Tohsaka Tokiomi, Fu Yuan thought he had opened the door the wrong way.
"Yes, I just visited the Matou family and came to my own conclusions. So, I've come to visit you, and therefore..."
Tohsaka Tokiomi gave Fu Yuan an awkward yet polite smile and then gestured towards Fu Yuan's house. "So, could you let me in first?"
Fu Yuan observed Tohsaka Tokiomi's expression. He noticed that his breathing was steady and his aura was calm, not suggesting any hostility.
"Sure, come in."
Fu Yuan led Tohsaka Tokiomi into the house and headed towards the living room.
Tohsaka Rin looked at Fu Yuan, who had returned to the living room, and lazily asked, "Brother Fu Yuan, who was at your door just now?"
Fu Yuan glanced at the lazy Tohsaka Rin, a mischievous smile flashing across his face. Then, he said nonchalantly, "Someone I'm not very familiar with. But you should know them very well, Rin."
"Hm?" Tohsaka Rin, feeling curious, looked at the figure who had followed Fu Yuan into the living room.
!!!!
Tohsaka Rin definitely knew him!
It was her father, Tohsaka Tokiomi!
Upon seeing Tohsaka Tokiomi, Tohsaka Rin immediately adjusted her posture. Her back straightened, her legs came together, and she appeared demure and elegant, the very image of a young lady from a prominent family.
This was because Tohsaka Tokiomi had always taught Tohsaka Rin and Matou Sakura to maintain graceful and composed speech and behavior at all times, so as not to bring shame upon the Tohma Family in public.
Therefore, the moment Tohsaka Rin saw Tohsaka Tokiomi, she instantly transformed into this elegant and reserved demeanor of a young lady.
Looking at Tohsaka Rin's elegant appearance, it felt as if the Tohsaka Rin who had been sleeping on the sofa earlier, or the one playfully roughhousing with Fu Yuan, was a false existence.
In reality, the Tohsaka Rin who showed no restraint in her actions was her true self.
Her current reserved demeanor was solely because Tohsaka Tokiomi had arrived.
Seeing Tohsaka Rin playing the part of a well-behaved girl brought a pleased smile to Fu Yuan's face.
Teasing this little tsundere always put Fu Yuan in a good mood.
