Even if she can go back for the time being, I'm afraid it won't be long before her father finds another adoptive family and sends Sakura away again.

Since that place is no longer home, there is no need to go back.

For Sakura right now, there are only two people she can trust.

One is her older sister Rin, and the other is Su Mo, who saved her fate.

Her only option was to hope that Su Mo would take her in and let her get away from her previous family.

Thinking of this, Rin didn't know what to do, so she could only turn her gaze to Su Mo.

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Mo revealed the plan he had already devised.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: I don't have time to take care of you, and I don't need your care for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Sakura's eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, showing no intention of continuing the argument.

At this moment, Su Mo changed the subject.

"However, if you're willing, I can introduce you to a teacher named Pandora. You can learn magic from her—and after you've mastered it, I can consider making you my assistant."

Before he arrived, he had already planned how to settle Sakura.

As a magician, Sakura possesses the rare Imaginary Number attribute, and her magical talent is no less than Rin's.

If they develop, whether they become assistants or experimental subjects, they will be at a relatively high level.

Fortunately, he has an idle Earth Mother Pandora. Entrusting Sakura to her can not only solve the talent cultivation problem, but also Pandora's personality problem.

Having disciples to divert her attention can effectively alleviate Pandora's fear of loneliness and her excessive clinginess.

For Su Mo's research, there are only benefits and no drawbacks.

"No problem, I can do anything!"

Upon hearing Su Mo's answer, Xiao Ying immediately raised her head and agreed repeatedly.

In fact, she didn't know who Pandora was, nor did she know where she was going.

But wherever it is, it's better than my old home.

What she didn't notice was that upon hearing Su Mo's conditions, her older sister's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

"Miss Pandora?"

Isn't that the goddess?!

Rin was utterly shocked.

Although she had never met this goddess, she had heard Su Mo introduce her as the creator of the Godslayer.

In other words, if you agree to Su Mo's conditions, you can become the goddess's disciple?

Where else can you find something this good?!

"Lord Su Mo, actually I can do it too!"

After hesitating for a moment, Rin spoke awkwardly.

"elder sister?"

Upon hearing this, Sakura paused for a moment, then turned around and grasped Rin's hand.

"Sister, there's no need for this. You've already invited Lord Su Mo for me. There's no need for you to continue sacrificing yourself for me. I really don't want to go home—to the Tohsaka family."

She thought Rin Tohsaka wanted to switch places with her so she could stay at home.

Out of gratitude to her sister and her own aversion to the Tohsaka family, she was naturally unwilling to let Rin sacrifice herself again.

"No, Sakura, you've misunderstood."

Upon hearing this, Rin gave a wry smile.

She wasn't making a sacrifice; she genuinely wanted to enjoy a good life with her sister this time!

That's a god-level teacher!

"Sister, don't do anything foolish! Father—that man still loves you very much."

Sakura naturally didn't want Rin to run away from home with her.

She knew clearly that, apart from herself, the Tohsaka family was still a happy family of three.

"All right……"

Although the misunderstanding couldn't be cleared up, Rin didn't insist too much.

After all, she is still young, and her insistence on the path of evil is not enough for her to abandon her family.

Having not been abandoned, she indeed could not bring herself to abandon her parents.

"Then remember to listen to Lord Su Mo from now on, and never hide anything from him!"

In the moments before parting, Rin adopted the demeanor of an elder sister who acts like a mother, constantly giving her younger sister instructions.

"Well, I know."

Sakura, who was always well-behaved, nodded repeatedly and listened patiently.

Knowing about the Tohsaka family's affairs, Artoria felt sympathy for the little girl in front of her. She took Sakura's hand and then spoke to Rin.

"Don't worry, in the name of the knight, I will take care of her."

"Yes! Thank you, Lord Su Mo! Thank you, Sister Saber!"

Yulin bowed deeply to her two benefactors.

When she got up, the three figures in front of her had completely disappeared.

Looking at the Matou residence in the distance, where the flames had been extinguished, and then glancing at the mountain path beneath her feet, a mountain breeze blew, and the girl, who looked no more than six or seven years old, suddenly remembered something.

This place is dozens of kilometers from the city center. How is she going to get back?!

056 The Divine Summoning Ritual, Erica's Ecstasy

[Rin Tohsaka: "We're home. Thank you, Lord Su Mo!"]

Upon returning home, Rin Tohsaka immediately let everyone know she was safe.

Having no money on her, she thought she would have to walk for most of the day to get home, but Su Mo had already placed a delayed-triggering spatial teleportation spell on her, sending her directly home and saving her a lot of trouble.

When she returned home, only her mother was there.

According to Aoi Tohsaka, Tokiomi Tohsaka noticed the unusual fire at the Matou residence and rushed to its aid.

It seems that he doesn't really not treat Sakura as his own child, as he says.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

At this time, the Matou residence had been completely burned to the ground, and no trace of life could be found.

Rin could clearly sense her mother's anxiety and could roughly guess the regret in her father's heart at this moment.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to tell her parents the truth.

Regardless of whether they believe in the existence of Lord Su Mo or whether they believe that Sakura can receive a better education.

Even if they could, Lord Su Mo did not prove his point for them.

Not to mention, Sakura is now extremely disappointed in her parents, and once the rift is formed, it is very difficult to mend it.

Sakura had finally managed to get on Su Mo's good side before she could, and become the disciple of the legendary goddess. Even if it was for her sister's future, there was no reason for her to give up the opportunity she had finally managed to seize.

As for whether the parents will be heartbroken for the rest of their lives because of this.

Thinking of the Matou family's unknown insect storage facility, and the tragic fate that Sakura might suffer if Lord Sumo didn't intervene, Rin couldn't help but feel that this price wasn't too much.

After making the decision, she stopped worrying about it and focused her attention on the chat group.

Erica: "Lord Su Mo is back too!"

Erica: "But I went out alone, so why are there three of us coming back?"

She had seen Sakura's words during the live stream, so there was no problem.

But what's with this blonde girl with a cowlick next to me, who is petite yet incredibly powerful?

This upright, awe-inspiring, and unapproachable attitude...

They're both blonde beauties, so why does the other one look more like a knight than I do?

Rin Tohsaka: "Huh?!"

Who told you not to watch the live stream? Your base got raided!

Even if Erica watches the live stream, she can only be NTR'd in person.

Rin silently complained to herself.

Faced with Erica's question, Su Mo calmly glanced at Artoria.

Artoria immediately understood and stepped forward to greet him with a knightly salute.

"I am the Knight King Artoria Pandoragon, and I have entered into a contract with Lord Su Mo, pledging allegiance to my Master as a knight. May I ask, are you my colleague?"

Su Mo had no intention of explaining, nor was there any need to.

As a lord, recruiting knights is the most normal thing to do. Let alone recruiting one Saber, even if you recruit a million Sabers, you only need to consider whether you are willing.

Only a knight who doesn't know his place would attempt to interfere with his lord's choices.

And clearly, Erica has a very clear understanding of herself.

She had long understood that she was only lucky to be able to latch onto someone powerful; there were plenty of other people who wanted to do the same.

So, what I said before was mainly just a question.

Upon hearing Saber reveal her identity as a fellow knight under Su Mo, she immediately prepared to act as a senior.

She clearly understood that her competitive advantage lay not in her strength, but in her skillful ability to unite people.
