"Is that okay?"
Tohsaka Aoi had not been carried away by the surprise. She looked at Su Luo and asked for his opinion.
"Since it's Sakura's wish, of course I have no objections," Su Luo said with a smile.
Seeing Su Luo nod in agreement, Tohsaka Rin could no longer suppress her joy and began cheering.
Tohsaka Aoi could not help feeling delighted as well.
She secretly made up her mind that she had to work hard later. Otherwise, she would not be able to repay Su Luo's kindness.
"Big brother, Sakura did well, right?"
While Tohsaka Aoi and Tohsaka Rin were immersed in their joy, Mato Sakura communicated with Su Luo through the power of their contract.
Hearing the voice in his mind, Su Luo could not help lowering his head to look at Mato Sakura.
The girl playfully blinked at him. There was none of the timidness from before on her face—only the proud smile of someone whose scheme had succeeded.
Seeing this, how could Su Luo fail to understand? From beginning to end, Mato Sakura had been the one setting everything up!
On the surface, it looked as though Tohsaka Rin was trying to mend their relationship with Mato Sakura.
But in reality, Mato Sakura had been planning all along.
She had been trying every possible way to get Tohsaka Aoi and Tohsaka Rin to join Su Luo's family as well.
That way, their family could live happily together again.
"You did great. Sakura is amazing," Su Luo praised.
Mato Sakura revealed a sweet smile. "Thank you. Su Luo, you have to work hard tonight too."
Tohsaka Rin: "Big sister, you look so much like me."
"Of course." Su Luo gave Mato Sakura a head pat.
"Mr. Su Luo, please wait a moment. I'll go help the kitchen prepare dinner." With that, Tohsaka Aoi eagerly ran into the kitchen.
She planned to let Mato Sakura taste her cooking again.
Meanwhile, Tohsaka Rin and Mato Sakura played in the living room.
Their laughter echoed through the house.
Just then, Sajyou Manaka returned with Karen.
"Lord Su Luo! I'm back!"
"I brought her back for you. I wonder if Lord Su Luo has any reward for me?" Sajyou Manaka brought Karen before Su Luo.
She clasped her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and looked up at Su Luo.
A playful smile bloomed across her exquisite face.
"During this time, I want to connect to the Root and study knowledge within it. I'll have to rely on Aika for that."
"Okay." Upon hearing Su Luo's answer, Sajyou Manaka's smile became even more radiant.
After responding to Sajyou Manaka, Su Luo turned his gaze toward Karen.
She had the same name as Karen from Date A Live.
Even her face was similarly expressionless.
The only difference was probably that Karen from Date A Live had beautiful golden hair.
While the Karen before him had silver hair.
She was a cute and beautiful girl, like an Elf.
"Hello. My name is Karen Ortensia. Please take care of me from now on." Karen took the initiative to bow and introduce herself.
Before coming here, she had already heard it from her father.
He had told her that she would be coming here to live with Su Luo and the others from now on.
She naturally had no objections.
Because this was how things had always been for her.
Kirei Kotomine had placed her in the Holy Church, where she was adopted by a strict priest.
After that, he had barely cared about her.
Even the priest who adopted her had never taught her any knowledge.
He only had her serve as an assistant at the church, doing odd jobs.
She passed each day in quiet monotony.
That had gradually given her an indifferent personality.
Yet after seeing Su Luo, she always felt that there was something different about the man before her.
Her gaze found it difficult to leave Su Luo's face, and she could not help observing every one of his movements.
"Lord Su Luo, your charm is truly incredible."
"You should know, when I brought her here, she did not say a single word."
"She kept a straight face the entire time. Her expression and eyes did not change at all."
"But after seeing you, light actually appeared in her numb, hollow eyes. She was full of curiosity and even introduced herself first." Sajyou Manaka spoke faintly.
"What, are you even jealous of a child?" Su Luo looked at Sajyou Manaka in amusement.
"Tch. Some children understand quite a lot and know how to use their advantages to take advantage of adults." Sajyou Manaka curled her lips.
"Don't worry, she doesn't understand anything yet." Su Luo smiled as he explained, then walked over and crouched before Karen.
"My name is Su Luo. That purple-haired girl over there is Mato Sakura. From now on, she'll be your playmate."
After saying that, Su Luo called Mato Sakura over.
"What is it, Su Luo?" Mato Sakura asked curiously.
"Her name is Karen. From now on, she's one of us."
"I'll have to trouble you to show her around the castle and teach her some common sense."
"Okay, leave it to me." Mato Sakura patted her chest in assurance.
With that, she took Karen's hand and led her away.
Seeing this, Tohsaka Rin immediately followed after them.
"Sakura, wait for me!"
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
In the kitchen, Raikou, Tiamat, and Tohsaka Aoi—the three women full of motherly love—finished preparing dinner and brought the dishes to the table.
"Dinner's ready~"
Following Tiamat's shout.
Everyone else in the castle hurried to the dining room.
The first to arrive were King of Lions and Artoria.
Mordred was just a step slower.
The three of them had their foodie traits practically maxed out.
King of Lions no longer needed to eat after becoming a god, but after regaining her humanity and tasting delicious food, her foodie nature had reappeared once more.
Whenever it was time to eat, she was almost always the fastest one there.
Afterward, Melly, Morgan, and the other Servants gradually arrived in the dining room as well.
The atmosphere in the dining room instantly became lively.
"Big sister, you look so much like me." Tohsaka Rin stared at Ishtar in amazement.
Hearing that, Tohsaka Aoi also noticed Ishtar's appearance.
Aside from the color of their eyes, whether it was their faces or hair color, Ishtar looked exactly like a grown-up Tohsaka Rin.
However, Tohsaka Aoi knew that most of the women present were Servants.
Otherwise, she truly would have suspected that Tokiomi Tohsaka had made a mistake years ago and left behind an illegitimate daughter outside.
When Ishtar saw Tohsaka Rin, she smiled elegantly.
Of course, she knew that the young Tohsaka Rin before her was actually the younger form of this body of hers.
Strictly speaking, she herself could be considered one-third Tohsaka Rin, possessing part of Tohsaka Rin's personality.
Thinking of that, she was just about to praise the girl, saying she would definitely become just as beautiful and elegant in the future.
But who could have expected Tohsaka Rin's next words to make her Spirit Base surge in fury?
"But it's only your face that looks like mine. My figure definitely won't be as flat as yours when I grow up."
After saying that, Tohsaka Rin planted her hands on her hips with a tsundere expression.
In her view, since Tohsaka Aoi, her mother, had B-rank strength.
Then as her daughter, she would naturally have at least B-rank potential.
And if she developed well in the future, it was not impossible for her to become a C-rank, or even a D-rank powerhouse.
Upon hearing that, Ishtar snapped the soup spoon in her hand in half.
Veins bulged on her delicate forehead.
She bent down and looked at Tohsaka Rin from above. "It's just a clothing issue. Sweaters don't show off one's figure!"
"I'm not flat!"
"Mm, I know."
"Don't worry, big sister. You can try drinking more papaya milk and see whether you can get stronger." Tohsaka Rin nodded as though she understood perfectly.
At that, Ishtar looked at Tohsaka Rin with a smile that did not reach her eyes.
She was currently using Tohsaka Rin's body. Though it was not the Tohsaka Rin of this world.
Still, the Tohsaka Rin before her would probably be similar to her once she grew up.
Since the girl disliked her own lack of strength, then Ishtar would help her solve that problem.
Thinking this, Ishtar picked up some soy products from the side and began feeding them to Tohsaka Rin.
"Wait, what are you doing?!"
"Didn't you say you wanted to get stronger? I'm helping you! You're still young and have room to develop, so take the chance to develop properly. Otherwise, what if you become as weak as me in the future?"
"...I get it already. Can't I just eat it myself?"
"..."
In the dining room, Ishtar and Tohsaka Rin, one grown and one small, were bickering.
The others did not stop them when they saw it.
The clash between two tsunderes instantly livened up the atmosphere in the dining room.
Mato Sakura took in every word exchanged between Ishtar and Tohsaka Rin.
She silently placed the soy-based food beside her into her own bowl, lest Tohsaka Rin and Ishtar take it all.
