In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Inside the corner café, Asagami Fujino held a newspaper discarded by a passerby, its contents clearly showing the day's dates:

1993 1 Month 4 Day.

"It's impossible to actually go back to the past!"

Miyamizu Mitsuha held the steaming hot coffee, warming her small, icy hands, and muttered something under her breath from time to time.

Fuyuki City is still Fuyuki City, but it is no longer the Fuyuki City they know.

Since coming down from Mount Enzo, Miyamizu Mitsuha has been processing this fact.

She had only visited the shopping street during the day, but when she returned in the evening, even she could keenly sense that it was completely different from the daytime scene. Although the buildings were largely the same, there were still significant differences in specific decoration details and signs.

The difference is even more pronounced when viewed from the mountaintop overlooking the entire city.

The old capital of Fuyuki City is a residential area, and the difference between it and the future old capital is not too obvious. There are no major changes in either the architecture or the layout.

However, the changes in Xindu, which is developing more rapidly, are more obvious. For example, the number of high-rise buildings in Xindu now is not as dense as it will be in the future.

Even now, Mitsuha Miyamizu still can't understand how this was done or how it was achieved.

but.

Since we're already here, there's no need to dwell too much on the reasons why we came.

The primary issue now is,

Should we continue searching?

Miyamizu Miyake.

Asagami Fujino nodded slightly, took out the map drawn by Kira Yoshikage, and pointed to a circled area:

“The Matou residence isn’t far from here, I suggest we go there first.”

"Let me finish this cup of coffee first."

Miyamizu Mitsuha picked up her coffee, took a sip, and tried her best to appear elegant.

"Ugh~ It's so bitter."

Amber followed Mitsuha Miyamizu's example and took a sip of her coffee, but immediately spat it out with a bitter face.

"Add sugar if you like. If it's too bitter, add a few more packets."

Miyamizu Mitsuha picked up a packet of sugar, tore it open, and poured it into Amber's cup of coffee.

"Oh, right."

Miyamizu Mitsuha asked curiously, "I forgot to ask before, what are we supposed to do after we find the Matou residence?"

From daytime until now, they have been searching for the locations of the Matou Residence and the Tohsaka Residence.

But at that time, they had gained nothing, and Miyamizu Mitsuha, who had been repeatedly failing, naturally didn't care much about what to do next.

But now it's 1993, and since they've already seen Ryudouji Temple, which didn't exist before, finding Matou Residence should be too difficult.

Naturally, the girl also began to care about what would happen next.

She only knew that Yoshikage Kira was looking for the Matou and Tohsaka residences, but she didn't know what Yoshikage Kira wanted to do after he found them.

Asagami Fujino tilted her head:

"Didn't I tell you? Of course, kill them!"

Miyamizu Mitsuha's curious expression gradually froze.

Now she only feels deep regret; she shouldn't have asked.

Matou Residence, Living Room.

The man with the blue seaweed-like hairstyle sat on the sofa and made a cold announcement to the black-haired loli he had brought home:

"From this moment on, you are a child of the Matou family, my daughter. Not Tohsaka Sakura, but Matou Sakura, understand?"

A timid expression appeared on the face of the little girl with short black hair, and glistening tears welled up in her light blue pupils.

She doesn't understand.

She didn't understand why her father abandoned her and wanted to give her away to someone else.

Did she do something wrong?

She can change. Just tell her what she did wrong, and she will definitely change.

However, she doesn't even have the chance to correct her mistakes now, because she is no longer even a child of the Tohsaka family.

The middle-aged man with blue, seaweed-like hair frowned when he saw that she didn't answer for a long time, and shouted at her:

Do you understand?

“I…I understand.”

The little girl's body trembled with fear.

"So, how should you address me?"

"Father, Father."

Sakura Matou trembled even more violently, and tears streamed down her face in fear.

"Ah, that's right."

The middle-aged man with blue, seaweed-like hair softened slightly, but his impatience remained. "As my daughter, I will be responsible for teaching you, so..."

An aged voice interrupted him:

"Tsuruno, take her to the insect chamber."

"Father."

Matou Tsuruno looked up in surprise. "Isn't this too early?"

"Ok?"

The old man, leaning on his cane, walked into the living room and gave him a cold look. "Heye, are you defying me?"

Sakura Matou timidly sized up the old man.

The old man was short, bald, and his limbs were as thin as a mummy, but his deep-set eyes revealed a sharp and vigorous light.

Both his appearance and behavior were so strange that they were frightening, even more so than the seaweed-headed uncle.

"No, of course not, Father, I'll take her there right away!"

Matou Tsuruno lowered his head in fear, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Although he was nominally the head of the Matou family, and even the one who negotiated with the Tohsaka family and brought Matou Sakura home, only the Matou family knew that the true ruler of the Matou family from beginning to end was this old man, his father on the family register, Matou Zouken!

Yes, although the official household register states that Matou Zouken is the father of him and his damned younger brother, the family tree lists Zouken as his great-grandfather and even his ancestors three generations back!

He's a monster!

A magician who prolongs his lifespan time and again through terrifying means that cannot be described in words, an immortal old man, the true ruler of the Matou bloodline, and an absolute monster living in the world today!

Matou Tsuruno understood this principle deeply, which is why he dared not disobey it in any way.

By obeying his 'father's' orders, he could at least continue to enjoy a comfortable life as a member of the Matou family on the surface.

But if you dare to disobey him, your fate will be worse than death!

and so.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Matou Tsuruno only dared to raise his head again after the old man slowly and hesitantly left the living room with his cane.

He looked down at Sakura Matou, who was timidly eyeing him, and forced himself to harden his heart, coldly saying:

"Come with me."

He knew all too well what kind of hell his 'daughter' would face, but he had no choice.

He might feel a pang of guilt, but right now he feels mostly relieved.

Fortunately, this child has only just arrived at the Matou family, and fortunately, they are not yet a real father and daughter.

So it's okay.

Even if it means sacrificing her or doing something excessive to her, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't treat her like your own daughter.

Sakura Matou did not resist. She dared not resist, nor was she able to resist. She simply followed Tsuruno Matou timidly to the basement.

Even if she manages to escape, where can she go?

Her father no longer wanted her, her mother refused to see her one last time, and her sister must have hated her too.

Otherwise, why didn't anyone plead for her?

She just wanted a chance to correct her mistakes, why wasn't she even given that chance?

Do they really hate her that much?

Zizi!

In the spacious basement, rustling sounds rang out incessantly.

Standing on the stairs leading to the underground, Matou Sakura stopped in fear, too afraid to go any further.

Because on the basement floor, countless dark shadows were wriggling incessantly—those were worms, countless worms covered in disgusting slime!

And these insects were the source of the rustling sounds she heard!

"Keep going!"

Matou Tsuruno gave her a push, even though the man stopped walking faster than Matou Sakura.

He was too afraid to go down the stairs because he knew exactly what was in the basement.

But Matou Sakura had to keep going down, because her father was still waiting for her down below.

"no, do not want……"

Sakura Matou burst into tears, her little face streaked with tears, pleading fearfully for forgiveness, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, old man, please don't scare me, okay? I'll be good..."

"Go down!"
