[You are sure that the Tousaka family has a secret that Tousaka Sakura cannot know. ]
You realize that your suggestion may trigger a series of chain reactions.
[You didn't give Sakura Toosaka any more advice - you decided to let her figure out what to do next.]
"dad."
Toosaka Sakura was crying loudly and looked at her father with tearful eyes.
She spoke these very sad words in an almost begging tone.
"I won't eat sweets anymore... Can you please not leave me here?"
"..."
Tōsaka Tokiomi turned his face away, and his hands began to tremble.
His identity as a magician told him that the best thing to do now was to ignore his daughter's confession and take his wife away immediately.
But his responsibility as a father reminded him at this moment that he could not just abandon his daughter to the Matou family without her consent.
The man who was doubly oppressed began to hate his own incompetence as a magus more and more.
The one who finally brought all this to an end was Zenjo Aoi.
Listening to her daughter Sakura Tousaka's begging words to her husband, she felt her heart completely broken.
"Don't stay, absolutely not!"
Zencheng Kui's tears fell like rain.
"Tokiomi, you heard everything, right?"
"Sakura said she doesn't want to stay here... We, we can't do this!"
"But Aoi..."
Before Tōsaka Tokiomi could finish his words, Zenjo Aoi grabbed his hand.
The latter rarely lost her composure and roared at her husband almost like a madman.
"No, absolutely not!"
"She said she didn't want to!"
"Tokiomi, can't you hear me?!"
"..."
He realized that if this continued, his wife Zenjo Aoi would go crazy here.
Tōsaka Tokiomi thought about it again and again and made a difficult decision.
He stood up and looked at Matou Zouken who had witnessed the whole thing, then apologized in an extremely humble tone:
"I'm sorry, old man."
"It doesn't look like a good day to leave Sakura here."
"Shall I take her back first?"
Hearing this, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Matou Zouken's eyes.
But he did not show it completely, but just nodded and answered Tōsaka Tokiomi.
"……what ever."
"Also, the door is over there, just get out by yourself."
"I won't give it away."
"Okay." Realizing that Matou Zouken seemed a little angry, Toosaka Tokiomi no longer wanted to continue the conversation.
After bowing politely to the old man, he left the Matou family with his wife and daughter.
As he watched the three people's receding backs, Matou Zouken's expression became more ferocious in an instant.
He shouted hysterically, "You bastards, can't you just pretend you didn't hear me? Why waste your time?"
“It seems… we still have to call Kariya back.”
"No matter what means are used, he must be made..."
The old man didn't continue.
With some resentment in his heart, he walked deeper into the corridor.
[You don't know how Matou Zouken will react after you left. ]
[You only know that Tousaka Sakura's wish came true - she was indeed not left at the Matou family by her parents.]
[But the atmosphere did not become more cheerful. ]
[On the way back, Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't say a word, while Zenjo Aoi held her daughter Tohsaka Sakura and wiped her tears. ]
[Your plan seems to succeed, but it also seems to fail. ]
Inside Fuyuki Tousaka's residence.
Toosaka Sakura lowered her head, holding a rabbit doll, and sat on the bed in her room.
It is evening now.
The dim sunlight shone in through the window with the curtains drawn, and fell squarely on the little girl's face.
It was an expression full of disappointment.
Toosaka Sakura looked very depressed and seemed quite sad.
"Mr. Ghost." The little girl whispered, "Are you there?"
"I am always here."
The voice that Tousaka Sakura called Mr. Ghost quickly responded.
"what happened?"
"That's it." Toosaka Sakura hugged the rabbit doll's waist.
"I wonder... did I do something wrong?"
The scene of the journey home flashed before the little girl's eyes.
My parents didn't say a word to each other during this period, and they didn't even have the most basic eye contact.
This is completely different from their usual loving appearance.
Sakura Toosaka, who had never experienced such a thing before, felt a little guilty - she always felt that all this happened because she did not stay in the Matou family.
"I...shouldn't I stay at Uncle Matou's house?"
"..."
[You realize that Tousaka Sakura did achieve her goal by crying. ]
[But her personality remains the same as before. ]
[She always felt that all the problems were caused by her own willfulness—even though she couldn't find the connection at all.]
[You can't help but feel a little sorry for this overly sensible little Lolita. ]
【You decide to give her some advice. 】
"Then--" Mr. Ghost responded to Tousaka Sakura.
"Sakura, tell me, do you want to stay there?"
"..."
Toosaka Sakura held her rabbit doll in silence for a long time, and finally shook her head.
"Do not want to."
"I feel very uncomfortable staying at Uncle Matou's place."
"Isn't that right?"
After receiving a positive answer, Mr. Ghost's voice became a little higher.
"Why would you force yourself to think it's appropriate if you don't want to be there?"
"But if that happens, Mom and Dad will be very angry." Toosaka Sakura's voice became much softer.
"I don't want them to hate me..."
Hearing what Tousaka Sakura said, Mr. Ghost smiled.
"How could I possibly hate you for something like this?"
"If I really hated you, I wouldn't have brought you back from the Matou family right now, right?"
"on the contrary--"
“They actually love you very much.”
"Love me very much?" There was a little more light in Toosaka Sakura's eyes, "Is this true?"
"of course it's true."
"Look...as soon as you said you didn't like being there, didn't they bring you back right away?"
Mr. Ghost calmly explained to Toosaka Sakura.
“They actually care about your feelings.”
"So Sakura, you don't have to worry about being disliked by them."
"You are mom and dad's daughter... no matter how you think about it, they love you."
Sakura Toosaka, who was originally feeling very guilty, suddenly understood after listening to Mr. Ghost's "guidance".
She began to realize that what she did was not a big mistake.
"Hmm~" The little girl hugged the rabbit doll and smiled sweetly, "I understand!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ghost~"
[You have successfully untied the knot in Tousaka Sakura's heart. ]
【However, the dilemma faced by Tousaka Tokiomi and Zenjo Aoi was not resolved. 】
[Or should we say——they are now cornered.]
In another room of the Tousaka residence.
Toosaka Tokiomi and Zenjo Aoi were sitting by the bed, both looking very sad.
Just now, they lost a chance to keep their daughter alive.
"I'm sorry, Tokiomi." Zenjo Aoi spoke apologetically.
"I'm so excited."
"It's nothing." Toosaka Tokiomi comforted his wife.
"Aoi, you did the right thing."
"I understand now... Since Sakura doesn't want to stay there, we really shouldn't force her."
"As for the Matou family, I will find a way to explain it to them."
"..."
Feeling that her husband obviously had no confidence when he said this, Zenjo Aoi sighed.
She held his hand and whispered to herself.
"Tokiomi, I wish I were a magician too."
"In this way... I can help you share some of the pressure."
"Don't say that." Tousaka Tokiomi gently stroked Zenjo Aoi's long hair.
"There's someone in the family who needs to be a magician, and it'd be best if I'm the only one."
"But--"
Zenjo Aoi looked up at her husband, her eyes filled with worry.
