Erica scratched her cheek, looking a little embarrassed.

"You may not know this, but before you joined the chat group, I promised Rin that I would go to her world to help her when she encountered difficulties."

Despite their frequent banter in group chats, the two actually have a very good relationship.

After learning that Rin Tohsaka was facing a problem she couldn't solve, Erica agreed to help without much hesitation.

Those who take people have short hands and eat people with soft mouths.

It was precisely because she was manipulated in this matter that Rin Tohsaka often found herself at a disadvantage when facing Erica, and many times she had no choice but to submit to Erica's tyranny and call her "older sister" with a forced smile.

As for Erica, when she bullied Rin Tohsaka, she was genuinely bullying her; when she helped her, she was genuinely helping her, and she wouldn't go back on her word.

However, she never expected that she would have to swear allegiance to someone else in the future.

Therefore, when Rin Tohsaka actually encountered difficulties, trouble ensued.

As a knight of Su Mo, she cannot act arbitrarily.

"So, after I finish this task, could you please grant me a short vacation? Just half a day would be enough. I'll be back as soon as I've dealt with Rin's matter!"

Erica made her request in a very low voice, while constantly watching Su Mo's expression, afraid of displeasing her lord.

Taking leave right after starting a new job does seem like a bad idea.

Seeing Erica's hesitant expression, Su Mo pondered for two seconds before asking.

"Rin Tohsaka, what trouble is she facing?"

"I heard that the Holy Grail War is about to begin on her side, and her father wants to give her younger sister away for adoption ahead of time."

Erica answered immediately.

"Holy Grail War..."

Su Mo was slightly taken aback, then suddenly thought of something.

In the Type-Moon universe, the most crucial step in the Holy Grail War is summoning Servants.

According to the setting he understood, the true form of a Heroic Spirit should reside in the Throne of Heroes outside the world, existing as a boundary record tape.

Summoning a Servant means summoning a Heroic Spirit from outside the world in the form of an avatar, assigning it a corresponding class, forming a corresponding Spirit Core, and then bringing it into the world through the magical power provided by the Greater Grail.

From the overall process, apart from the subtle differences between magic power and divine power, and between spirit core and godhood, the rituals for summoning Servants and for summoning gods are surprisingly similar.

Both the Undying God Realm and the Boundary Recording Belt are located outside the world, and the divine disguise and class settings of the Unruly Gods are also similar.

However, if one could acquire Servant summoning skills...

Does that mean that with a little modification, it can also be used to summon gods?

With this in mind, Su Mo immediately gave his answer.

"No need to ask for leave."

"Yes."

Hearing him say that, Erica thought that Su Mo had rejected her request.

After a sigh, she was about to reply to Rin Tohsaka with an apology.

Unexpectedly, Su Mo's next sentence took an unexpected turn.

"Leave the matter of Rin Tohsaka to me when the time comes."

"What? Lord Su Mo, you actually intend to go in person?"

Erica's face lit up with surprise.

So Su Mo was trying to refuse just now?

"According to Rin, the power levels she has come into contact with are not high, so it shouldn't be at the point where you need to take action."

After the initial surprise, Erica offered a word of advice.

Given Rin's father's strength, a first-tier level should be enough to solve the problem.

"Don't underestimate that world, especially during the Holy Grail War. Even with your current strength, you might not be safe."

Su Mo shook his head, and then added a sentence.

"I'm also somewhat interested in the power of her world, so I might as well go there."

"That's great! If Rin knew this news, she'd be so happy she wouldn't be able to sleep!"

Erica was relieved that the problem could be resolved so perfectly, and she was also happy for Rin.

With this powerful figure protecting us, what is there to be afraid of?

037 Sakura's Adoption, Young Rin's Resistance

Seeing that Su Mo agreed, Erica immediately announced the good news in the group chat.

[Xiaoyuan: "Congratulations, Rin-neechan."]

[Kanae: "With Lord Su Mo here, there's absolutely nothing to worry about."]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Waaaaah, I suddenly feel a joy like I've been chosen by the gods!"]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Although, Su Mo-sama is practically the same as a god now."]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Thank you, Lord Sumo! Erica will do anything to repay you!"]

Erica: "?"

Kanae: "?"

Xiaoyuan: "?"

[Rin Tohsaka: "I mean, I can do anything."]

[Rin Tohsaka: "By the way, thank you Erica as well."]

Erica: "Rin! Being a tsundere has no future."

[Erica: "Smirking.JPG."]

Rin Tohsaka: "You're the tsundere! Your whole family are tsunderes!"

Looking at the cheerful atmosphere in the group, Kanae's eyes revealed a hint of envy.

If I could also get help from Lord Su Mo on my side...

Wait a minute, isn't that too greedy? Lord Su Mo has already provided an optimized breathing technique. She just needs to accumulate some more points, buy it, and learn it. Then she will be able to end this era of demons everywhere with her own hands.

It's just that it's slower, more dangerous, less efficient, and there's a possibility that we won't be able to find Muzan.

Hmm? After thinking it over, why does it still seem like sucking up to someone powerful is the best option?

After thinking it over, Kanae really wanted to give up.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the same opportunity as Erica to swear allegiance.

She's not as smart as Rin Tohsaka, nor as strong as Erica, so there seems to be no other good way to win over Lord Su Mo's attention.

Thinking this, her gaze unconsciously drifted to her younger sister Shinobu Kocho and her adopted sister Kanao.

Regardless of their personalities, the two younger sisters are both quite beautiful.

"Hmm, if only Lord Su Mo needed a maid..."

In the end, Kanae, too embarrassed to speak, could only sigh helplessly.

·

In the Type-Moon world, Rin Tohsaka was so excited to receive Su Mo's promise that she jumped out of bed.

"That's great! With Lord Su Mo here, there's definitely no problem with Ying's matter!"

If we say that Erica's move is almost a sure thing, with a small chance of failure...

With Su Mo making his move, the outcome was completely assured.

"Sakura! Listen, I have some good news to tell you—"

With her mind finally at ease, Rin rushed out of her room without even changing out of her pajamas, and burst into her sister Sakura Tohsaka's room.

To avoid disappointing Sakura, Rin Tohsaka had not revealed her thoughts to anyone beforehand.

Only now that she was certain Su Mo would help did she decide to tell her sister the good news.

To her surprise, after breaking down the door, she didn't see Sakura.

"Huh? Mother?"

She saw only a somewhat empty room and her mother, looking sad, carrying a suitcase and packing various ornaments.

In the suitcase in Aoi Tohsaka's hand were Sakura's everyday personal items, including dresses and toys, all neatly organized.

The room that originally belonged to Sakura has now become very simple, as if to lock away all traces of her younger sister.

Noticing this, Rin Tohsaka felt a chill run down her spine, a bad premonition creeping over her.

"Mother, what's going on? Didn't you say there were still a few days left?"

Rin Tohsaka kept the adoption date agreed upon by her father and the Matou family firmly in mind.

That day is clearly not coming yet!

"It's Rin!"

Looking up at her eldest daughter, Aoi Tohsaka forced a smile and mustered her strength.

"The head of the Matou family suddenly said he wanted to adopt Sakura ahead of schedule so that she could inherit his family's magic. I don't know the specifics of this, but Tokiomi seemed very happy and immediately agreed to the Matou family head's request."

"I'm afraid Sakura will have to go live with the Matou family today..."

As she said this, Aoi Tohsaka suddenly realized that she was feeling too down, and in order not to upset Rin, she immediately changed her tone.
