"You wouldn't want anything to happen to your daughter, right?"
"Huh? This..."
Before Tohsaka Aoi could react, Irisviel, who was sitting nearby, showed a shocked expression. "Using a child to threaten a mother? That's far too despicable, isn't it?"
"No, that doesn't sound like something Kariya would say."
However, after hearing this, Tohsaka Aoi shook her head with certainty. "Shirako-san, did you see clearly? Was it really Kariya Matou? Or did an enemy deliberately take on his appearance?"
"It really was Kariya Matou, though?"
Fang Mo scratched her head. "He said he wanted to see you no matter what, and that he had something very important to tell you."
"But it's too late now. What if we're attacked by another Servant?" Tohsaka Aoi said worriedly. "At a critical time like this, we shouldn't cause Tokiomi any more trouble..."
"But Kariya Matou said you'd definitely regret it if you didn't go."
Fang Mo spread her hands.
"This..."
Hearing that, Tohsaka Aoi seemed somewhat hesitant as well.
"No matter the reason, using a child's safety to threaten a mother is far too underhanded, isn't it?"
Irisviel truly could not hold herself back any longer. "Mrs. Aoi, I'm a mother too. Please don't believe the lies of such a villain. Shirako-san is the strongest Heroic Spirit I've ever seen. With Shirako-san protecting her... no one will be able to hurt Rin."
"Thank you for reassuring me, but..."
After hearing Irisviel, Tohsaka Aoi politely replied, though she then explained with a troubled expression, "Perhaps the child Kariya was talking about wasn't Rin."
"What?"
Irisviel seemed rather surprised.
"Godfather, you don't know this, but Sister Rin actually has a younger sister." Seeing her confusion, Fang Mo took the initiative to explain. "I think her name is Sakura Tohsaka."
"She's Sakura Matou now."
Tohsaka Aoi sighed.
