She reached for the bank card in her wallet and brought it to her eyes.

"How about we just spend money on in-game purchases?"

"Yes! That's the way to do it! How can you get stronger without spending money!"

Osakabehime quickly convinced herself and clicked on the recharge page...

The children's sudden rebuttal left Yuxian feeling a little embarrassed.

However, Lainis and Olga Marie didn't heed the children's words; they had their own judgment.

Lainis asked, "Mr. Yuxian, what kind of Servant do you think is most suitable for the Holy Grail War?"

"Little Sun Karna," Yuxian answered without hesitation.

Karna accepts everything as a possibility, making him an extremely tolerant Servant.

He treats all people equally, and at the same time respects the 'beauty that is different in everyone's eyes'.

In addition, he possesses 'Uncrowned Martial Arts,' which ranks among the top of all Servant.

"That Hero of Charity?!"

Olga Marie and Lainis obviously knew Karna, after all, Karna's legend was widely known.

"That's right. Karna has no demands of his own and will be absolutely loyal to his Master. He is an excellent candidate for the Holy Grail War."

Mash said, "Senior, Mr. Karna will be very happy to hear you say that."

"Haha." Yuxian laughed, "Karna is just too taciturn. It's too tiring to talk to him, and you'll easily fall into an awkward silence if you're not careful."

Yuxian's words made Olga Marie and Lainis fall into deep thought.

Seeing the two remain silent, Yuxian said casually, "You don't need to think too much about it. This will be the last Holy Grail War. After this, the Greater Grail will no longer exist, and you will not face that choice again."

After thinking about it, the two agreed and stopped dwelling on the issue.

The plane landed in Tokyo, and then we were taken directly to Fuyuki City by private car. The journey of a few hours ended quickly.

Finally setting foot on Fuyuki City again, Yuxian couldn't wait to meet Emiya.

This place has changed a lot since his last visit.

Ten years of development has brought about tremendous changes to this city.

The city has become Yuxian hardly recognizes it anymore.

However, the place they went to was still largely unchanged, the Miyama Town.

After crossing the Fuyuki Bridge and passing through the shopping street, Yuxian finally stood once again at the entrance of the Matou Family residence.

"Yo!"

Emiya seemed to have been waiting there all along, and he waved his hand gently.

Yuxian walked up with a smile and hugged him tightly.

He patted Emiya's back hard and said excitedly, "Emiya, I've missed you so much..."

"... The food is ready!"

Chapter 24, Section 245: How did Sakura get so big?

I miss your cooking so much!

Hearing Yuxian's words, Emiya smiled helplessly and said, "Give me back my gratitude!"

At this moment, the children gathered around, standing in front of Emiya and chattering away.

"Uncle, uncle, snacks!"

"Delicious snacks!"

"I want to eat pancakes..."

Emiya patiently said, "Do it all! Do it all!"

He was very fond of and tolerant of these children, and Emiya readily agreed to their requests.

Illya kept turning her head back and forth, and kept peeking into the house.

"Brother, where's Sakura? I can't see her."

She still remembered the little sister who had been with her for a while and longed to see Sakura Matou.

"Illya... Sister?"

Not far behind Emiya, Sakura Matou her purple hair, stood quietly.

He was somewhat unsure whether to call this unchanged Illya" older sister" or "younger sister."

In fact, Illya is indeed older than her, so calling her "older sister" is perfectly reasonable.

Calling a little kid "sister" always made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Wow! Sakura, you've gotten so big! And why is your hair purple? I remember you had black hair, did you dye it?"

Illya opened her mouth in surprise, feeling a sense of shattered hope.

I was still planning to introduce Sakura to my friends, but I realized that Sakura was already an adult.

Sakura Matou smiled faintly as she looked at Illya, who had a surprised expression.

She explained, "It's strange that Illya hasn't grown up, since ten years have passed."

Sakura Matou then added, "I don't know why my hair turned purple; it must be the effect of Magecraft."

Yuxian was also a little surprised by Sakura Matou's change in hair color, as she should have black hair like Rin Tohsaka.

Perhaps it's because he learned water-attribute Magecraft from the Matou Family. Yuxian guessed.

Illya said with some disappointment, "Sakura has grown up and can't play with us anymore..."

Sakura Matou quickly stepped forward to comfort her, squatting down to take Illya's hand and place it on her head.

"I am still Illya's good friend."

Sakura Matou became very gentle and understanding, losing the timidity and shyness she had as a child.

After comforting Illya, Sakura Matou came to Yuxian and gave him a bright smile.

"Big brother, welcome back!"

Yuxian smiled too.

"Just like our promise, when Sakura grows up, we will come back to see you."

Sakura Matou smiled even more happily. She still remembered the promise from that time, when she was most helpless and had just lost her father.

Emiya shook his head and said, "If I hadn't contacted Da Vinci-chan, Master probably wouldn't have wanted to come back."

"How could this be!"

Yuxian immediately denied it.

"I will definitely come back!"

He then immediately changed the subject, asking, "Speaking of which, Emiya, have you encountered any difficulties? I heard from Da Vinci-chan that you asked her for help."

When confronted with Yuxian's question, Emiya turned his gaze to the sky, avoiding Yuxian's eyes.

"Actually..."

He spoke haltingly and uncomfortably, Yuxian felt there must be something fishy going on.

Faced with everyone's questioning gazes, Emiya had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Actually, Sakura and Rin wanted to see you, and since the Fifth Holy Grail War was about to begin, I told a little lie..."

"Ha?"

Yuxian feigned deep sorrow and said in a mournful tone:

"Emiya, you've changed..."

"Ha ha..."

Emiya chuckled awkwardly and quickly turned to walk back into the house.

"You must be hungry. I'll go make you dinner right away!"

Emiya mastered the art of changing the subject in the Yuxian, using it with such skill that no one could get angry with him.

Sakura Matou invited everyone into the house, as it would be impolite to make the guests stand at the door for too long.

As the head of the household, she fulfilled her duties well, warmly welcoming guests who had come from afar.

Upon entering the living room, Yuxian asked, "Where's Shinji? I haven't seen him."

While greeting everyone, Sakura Matou replied, "My brother has gone to manage the family business."

"Oh?"

Yuxian was a little surprised and nodded to himself. It seemed that Emiya had managed Shinji Matou well over the past ten years. It was a good choice for Shinji Matou, who had no Magecraft talent, to manage the family business.

Sakura Matou continued, "My brother is working very hard to learn about business. He's always very busy and hasn't been home for a long time."

Without Zouken Matou, that Old Worm, the entire Matou Family was actually managed even better.

As for Magus, Yuxian believes that Sakura Matou is definitely not bad.

Sakura, who possesses the Imaginary Element Attribute, will undoubtedly achieve astonishing success once she fully develops her talent.

Olga Marie carefully examined the Matou Family mansion.

She said, "Is this the Matou Family of the Three Founding Families of Fuyuki City? Although it looks a bit simple, the traces of Magecraft are still very clear. It seems that the level of Magecraft in the Far East is not bad!"

Her arrogant remarks did not anger Sakura. She smiled and said, "These were all left behind when Grandpa was alive, and also modified and repaired by Emiya. I am only a beginner in Magecraft and have not been of much help."

Waver nodded in agreement. "This place is absolutely qualified as Magus's workshop."

"Oh, right." Yuxian remembered what he had talked about earlier and introduced Sakura to Waver: "Sakura is one of the students I was talking about."

"She is a descendant of Jeweled Gentleman Nagato Tohsaka, so she has some connection with the Clock Tower. There shouldn't be any problem for her to study at the Clock Tower."

Upon hearing this, Waver looked carefully at the quiet Sakura Matou to the side.

"What is her Magecraft attribute...?"

"Imaginary Element, Imaginary Element Attribute," Yuxian replied.

"Imaginary numbers?!"

Everyone looked at Sakura Matou in surprise. This was an extremely rare Magecraft attribute. They never expected that the girl in front of them would have the talent of the Imaginary Element Attribute.

Waver said somewhat uncertainly, "Imaginary numbers are a very rare property. I don't know if I can teach her. I remember that the Astronomy Department seem to be good at Magecraft in this area."

After speaking, he looked at Olga Marie, the Lord of the Astronomy Department that Waver mentioned. Olga Marie's father was the current head of the Animusphere.

"Teresa is also Magus with the Imaginary Element Attribute. Since she has already accepted the payment, we will naturally fulfill our promise."

Olga Marie agreed without hesitation; she was never one to like owing favors.

With the guidance of Animusphia from the Department of Astrophysics, Yu Xian believed that Matou Sakura's future achievements would be extraordinary.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Sakura also has an older sister. Her Magecraft attributes are... earth, water, fire, wind, and air, Five Great Elements are present."

Everyone was stunned.

If they were merely surprised when they learned that Sakura Matou possessed Imaginary Element Attribute, they were now utterly shocked.

With Magecraft attributes encompassing Five Great Elements, such talent truly makes one a blessing from heaven!

Just then, a girl's voice came from the doorway.

"Sakura, has that guy arrived yet?!"
