"This... is..."
A murmur sounded.
"Big Brother Shinji, have you come?"
Such a voice came from behind Matou Shinji.
"...Huh?"
Matou Shinji turned around, staring behind him in surprise.
This was a study.
The study within the Matou Residence.
Two people sat in the study.
Matou Sakura.
And Matou Shinji.
Matou Shinji did not immediately answer Matou Sakura's question. He lowered his head and fell into thought.

Matou Shinji still wore the same cold expression as he walked out of the room.
Sure enough, this place...
Was not the Matou Family's home at all.
"Is your dream to protect your family?"
Such a voice rang out.
