Chapter 42: Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura IX
Scáthach stopped setting up the Magic Barrier and turned her head to look at the two little girls who had entered the courtyard.
Holding Tohsaka Sakura's little hand, Tohsaka Rin stared wide-eyed at the beautiful figure standing in the courtyard.
"Who are you!? Where's Brother Fu Yuan?"
"Fu Yuan?" In response to Tohsaka Rin's question, Scáthach pointed with a slender finger toward the bathroom in the residence behind her. "He just went to take a bath. Do you want me to call him?"
"Then who are you..." Tohsaka Rin stared wide-eyed at Scáthach. This beautiful woman was wearing a bathrobe... She was actually wearing a bathrobe in Fu Yuan's house!
No matter how she thought about it, her relationship with Fu Yuan seemed very suspicious!
Meanwhile, Tohsaka Sakura behind Rin also looked at Scáthach with curious eyes.
"Who am I?" Facing the gazes of the Tohsaka sisters, Scáthach copied the answer Fu Yuan had previously given her. "Like Fu Yuan, I'm just an ordinary person."
"Why is it an ordinary person again..." Tohsaka Rin looked suspiciously at the beautiful Queen of the Land of Shadows.
Tohsaka Sakura, standing behind Rin, timidly asked, "Then what is your relationship with Brother Fu Yuan? Why are you in his house?"
"Our relationship..." Scáthach recalled it for a moment. Then she crossed her arms and said with certainty, "It's a cohabitation relationship established through intense collisions."
Scáthach was not wrong. She and Fu Yuan had fought intensely during their sparring match, and after it ended, Scáthach moved in with Fu Yuan...
In an instant, Tohsaka Rin seemed to think of something, and her slightly baby-fat cheeks flushed red.
...This precocious little loli had probably misunderstood what Scáthach had just said.
Though Scáthach's words really were easy to misunderstand.
Intense collisions, then establishing a cohabitation relationship...
"Y-you-you... Hmph! Little Sakura, let's go! We're going to find Fu Yuan." Her little face red, Tohsaka Rin pulled her sister toward the courtyard platform.
"Eh, Sister, but Brother Fu Yuan is bathing. Let's wait and come bother him later," the well-behaved Tohsaka Sakura hurriedly said, tugging on Rin.
"But there's no time! Father has arranged for us to leave Fuyuki City. If we don't see Fu Yuan now, we won't know when we'll meet him again."
"...That's true."
After hearing Rin say that, Sakura no longer held her back. The two sisters took off their shoes by the courtyard platform, then stepped into Fu Yuan's residence.
Earlier that evening, Tohsaka Tokiomi had decided to send Tohsaka Rin to Zenjō, while Tohsaka Sakura would begin her journey to Finland in Northern Europe. That was why the two sisters had hurried to Fu Yuan's home at this time, intending to say goodbye to him.
Scáthach, standing in the courtyard, watched the two daughters of the Tohsaka Family enter Fu Yuan's house. She did not stop them, since the two little girls seemed to be close to Fu Yuan.
Fu Yuan was in the bathroom when he heard thud-thud-thud footsteps outside—two sets of hurried yet light footsteps.
"Hmm? Those footsteps... Rin and Little Sakura? Why would they come to my house at this hour?" After recognizing the owners of the footsteps, Fu Yuan asked in confusion.
"Fu Yuan, are you in there?"
Sure enough, Tohsaka Rin's childish voice came from outside. Fu Yuan turned toward the door and replied, "I'm here. Rin, why did you come over at this time?"
"Because Father is sending Little Sakura and me away, so we came to find you."
"Brother, I'm sorry for disturbing you at this time, but I wanted to see you." Tohsaka Sakura's soft, clingy voice followed.
Hearing a little loli say, in such a soft voice, that she wanted to see you—anyone would melt, wouldn't they?
Fu Yuan hurriedly called toward the bathroom door, "Go wait in the living room. I'll be out right away."
Fortunately, Fu Yuan had only taken off his clothes and had not started bathing yet. After putting them back on, he left the bathroom and headed for the living room.
The two daughters of the Tohsaka Family were currently in the living room.
When she saw Fu Yuan, Tohsaka Rin's little face immediately brightened with joy. She wondered whether she should go over and hug his leg, because she would be leaving Fuyuki City that very night.
Just as Tohsaka Rin was considering it, her younger sister Tohsaka Sakura immediately took action.
"Brother!"
Seeing Tohsaka Sakura trot over, Fu Yuan smiled and crouched down. He affectionately rubbed the hair of this adorable, soft little loli.
But Tohsaka Sakura was not satisfied. She lightly rose onto her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around Fu Yuan's neck, and hung from him.
Gulp!
Watching her sister cling to Fu Yuan, Tohsaka Rin's cheeks puffed up instinctively. She had thought of it first... She had been the first to want to throw herself into this big brother's arms and act spoiled!
Fu Yuan picked up Tohsaka Sakura, who was holding his neck, then looked at Tohsaka Rin's puffed cheeks with a smile. He walked over and sat directly beside Rin.
After sitting beside Tohsaka Rin, Fu Yuan poked her puffed-up cheek with a finger. From the force, Rin's swollen cheek let out a crisp "pop."
"Ha ha ha~ Rin, you're so funny." Fu Yuan could not help laughing.
"Fu Yuan!" Annoyed, Tohsaka Rin began pounding the Fu Yuan seated beside her. Her tiny fists had no strength at all; rather than hitting him, she was more like acting spoiled.
Tohsaka Sakura sat on Fu Yuan's lap and watched her sister fool around with him. She wanted to play with Fu Yuan like that too, but her naturally gentle temperament made it impossible.
"All right, all right~ Don't be angry." Fu Yuan chuckled as he soothed the bristling Tohsaka Rin, then looked at Tohsaka Sakura sitting on his lap. "Little Sakura, are you two being sent away from Fuyuki City tonight?"
"Mm." Tohsaka Sakura nodded her little head.
Tohsaka Rin added, "Father has already contacted some distant relatives in Finland. Tonight, Father will take Little Sakura to Finland, while I'll go to Zenjō."
Because Tohsaka Tokiomi and the family were too weak to properly protect his two daughters with exceptional Mage Circuits, he still intended to entrust his second daughter, Tohsaka Sakura, to another magecraft family to protect and raise her.
However, after what happened with the Matou family, Tohsaka Tokiomi had learned his lesson. This time, he would personally take Tohsaka Sakura to the Edelfelt family in Finland.
So that night, the sisters Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura would leave Fuyuki City.
Chapter 43: Sakura: I Want to Be Brother's Bride X
Before leaving Fuyuki City, Tohsaka Rin pulled Tohsaka Sakura along as they ran from the Tohsaka Family home to Fu Yuan's house.
Not to elope, but merely to say goodbye to Fu Yuan.
Of course, if the two sisters were ten years older, they would be at the age to elope~
As the Tohsaka sisters were about to leave Fuyuki City, they had hurried over to say goodbye to him. Fu Yuan could feel how much weight he held in their hearts.
Feeling comforted, Fu Yuan hugged Tohsaka Sakura's petite body and rubbed Tohsaka Rin's little head.
"Rin, Little Sakura, I'll give you my contact information. If you run into any trouble, you can contact me by phone," Fu Yuan told the two sisters.
