I, Fu Yuan, Will Blow Up the Holy Grail War

"Brother, I don't have a phone," Tohsaka Sakura said softly, sitting on Fu Yuan's lap.

"I don't have one either, and Dad doesn't allow me to use these things," Tohsaka Rin said with distress.

"Then I'll give you phones. I got quite a few from a lottery before."

Was it Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura's imagination? Why did they feel a sense of melancholy when they heard Fu Yuan say this?

Shouldn't one be happy to win a phone in a lottery?

...Happy about what! Fu Yuan wanted to win weapons, Stigmata, or character templates, not some 'Hyperion Brand Communication Phone.'

Fu Yuan took out two phones from his pocket [System Backpack], handed one to Tohsaka Rin and the other to Tohsaka Sakura, and personally taught them how to use them.

To be able to contact Fu Yuan in the future, Tohsaka Sakura diligently committed his teachings to memory.

After teaching them how to use this phone that didn't belong to this world, Fu Yuan gently put down the soft little loli, Tohsaka Sakura, who was sitting on his lap.

"I'm going to the courtyard. You two try contacting me with the phones."

"Okay!"

Then Fu Yuan left the living room. Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura were in the living room fiddling with the phones Fu Yuan gave them. Although they had never used a phone before, figuring out how to dial a number wasn't difficult.

Tohsaka Rin looked at Tohsaka Sakura, who was seriously fiddling with the phone, and put on an elder's tone, "Little Sakura, that was rude of you just now. How could you just pounce on someone like that?"

How could you say that with such conviction, when you were the one who started it?

"It's okay, Brother won't mind. Besides, I've decided, I'm going to be Brother's bride." Tohsaka Sakura said with a firm voice, her gentle tone belying her words as she fiddled with the phone.

Tohsaka Sakura's words made Tohsaka Rin's eyes widen. She looked at her sister, "Little Sakura, what are you saying... Br-br-bride!"

"Yes, when I grow up, I'll come back to Fuyuki City and live with Brother, so I'm going to be Brother's bride."

"No!"

"Hm?" Tohsaka Sakura looked at Tohsaka Rin, who had suddenly become agitated. Her small face showed a confused expression, "Sister, why not?"

"This..." Tohsaka Rin was speechless. Under her sister's pure gaze, she stammered, her round eyes darting around.

Tohsaka Rin seemed to think of an excuse and quickly said, "That woman just now! The one in the bathrobe! She must be Brother Fu Yuan's girlfriend. After all, who else would be at Brother Fu Yuan's house wearing clothes like that? She must be his girlfriend."

To add to her persuasiveness, Tohsaka Rin nodded her head vigorously and advised, "So, Little Sakura, you should give up the idea of being his bride!"

Now Scáthach had inexplicably become Fu Yuan's girlfriend. She wondered what expression she would have if she knew about this.

"..." Tohsaka Sakura ignored her sister Tohsaka Rin and dialed Fu Yuan's phone number.

Fu Yuan, who had arrived at the courtyard platform, answered his phone and smiled, "Hello, is that Little Sakura or Rin?"

Listening to the voice from the phone, Tohsaka Sakura softly said, "It's not Sister, it's me, Brother."

"Little Sakura? So you know how to use this phone now. From now on, you can contact me through this phone. Even if we're on opposite sides of the Earth, as long as there's a signal, you can reach me."

"Mm," Tohsaka Sakura nodded her little head. She pursed her lips and then softly asked, "Brother, who is that big sister in your house?"

Upon hearing this, Tohsaka Rin immediately leaned against her sister Tohsaka Sakura, eager to know the truth.

"Her..." Fu Yuan glanced at Scáthach, who was setting up a Magic Barrier in the courtyard. Before he could answer, Tohsaka Sakura's voice came from the phone.

"Is she Brother's bride?"

The soft, childish voice from the phone made Fu Yuan's mouth twitch. Even Scáthach, who was setting up the Magic Barrier, subconsciously stopped what she was doing.

Fu Yuan, with a twitching mouth, glanced at Scáthach and then said with a wry smile, "What bride? My relationship with Scáthach isn't what you think."

"I see. Mm, I understand," Tohsaka Sakura's slightly delighted voice came from the phone.

"Understand what? You're just a child," Fu Yuan shook his head helplessly. He wasn't unaware of Tohsaka Sakura's attachment to him, but he thought it was quite normal.

After all, it was normal for children to have vague crushes on the older brother or sister next door.

However, such vague feelings would gradually fade with time and growth, so Fu Yuan didn't take Tohsaka Sakura's attachment to him too seriously.

Moreover, Tohsaka Sakura was about to go to Finland. Growing up there, she would probably gradually forget him.

Children were like that; they liked something, and after ten days or half a month, they would get tired of it and eventually forget it.

Fu Yuan believed that both Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura would drift apart from him or forget him as they grew up. But... some children were different from others; once they liked something, they would like it their whole lives.

That "something" included the boys they liked.

Fu Yuan didn't talk to Tohsaka Sakura on the phone for long, because Tohsaka Tokiomi had arrived.

Looking at the well-dressed Tohsaka Tokiomi, Fu Yuan said into his phone, "Rin, Little Sakura, come out. Your father is here."

"...Mm."

Chapter 44: An Hour of Fighting Wasn't Even a Warm-up [11]

Because they had found a way to contact Fu Yuan, and because Tohsaka Tokiomi had come to find them, Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura didn't bicker much and were directly taken away by Tohsaka Tokiomi.

With their departure, the chances of them meeting Fu Yuan again would be very slim.

Tohsaka Rin was fine; she was only being forced to go to Zenjo because of the Holy Grail War. Tohsaka Sakura was different; she would live in Finland from now on, so the chances of her returning to Fuyuki City should be very few.

Watching the Tohsaka sisters wave their little hands reluctantly, Fu Yuan also waved back, bidding them farewell.

Scáthach, standing beside Fu Yuan, glanced at him and said casually, "You're quite something, Fu Yuan. You've got these two little girls wrapped around your finger."

"What are you talking about?" Fu Yuan was momentarily speechless at Scáthach's words, and he shot a glare at the Queen. "Is the Magic Barrier set up already?"

"Mhm, it's done. It's just that your home isn't located on a Ley Line," Scáthach said, her jade finger pointing to the ground below. "So the Great Source Mana that can be gathered won't be much."

"If you want to gather more Great Source Mana, you'll need to move. Move to a Ley Line in this city, or perhaps over to Mount Ensō," Scáthach said, tilting her head slightly to indicate the direction of Mount Ensō.

Ley Lines were like hidden currents within the earth, crisscrossing beneath the ground. Where they converged, they would cause all things to grow and flourish. Since there were no Ley Lines beneath Fu Yuan's home, even Scáthach couldn't gather much Great Source Mana for him.

It was like the saying, 'Even the cleverest housewife can't cook a meal without rice.'

"I see," Fu Yuan frowned slightly. "So I still need to move?"

"That's your choice," Scáthach said, shrugging her shoulders in her bathrobe. "But if you want to gather more Great Source Mana, you'll have to leave this place."

"Then I'll move. Scáthach, can you come with me tomorrow to find a suitable Ley Line for gathering Great Source Mana?" Fu Yuan asked.

"There's no need to search. Mount Ensō is where the Ley Lines of this city converge. There are many Ley Lines to choose from there," Scáthach said, pointing towards Mount Ensō.
