Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

Even now, Aoi Tohsaka dares to refuse him, so Lin Jiu'an doesn't even dare to think about what she might do in the future.

It's one thing if I can't control Morgan, Gilgamesh, and Ottomandis for the time being, but I can't even control Aoi Tohsaka?

How will we build a harem then?

How can we lock Merry, Morgan, and Gilgamesh in the dark room?

"No, I know I was wrong, I'm going to die, oh, I promise, I promise you, I'll promise you anything!"

"Then repeat what I asked you to do."

"Buy, buy a house, and live with Irisviel, and then take care of her."

"very good."

"Huh? I clearly did everything Jiu'an said, so why is there a 'huh'?!"

"When did I say I'd let you go if you did as I said?" Lin Jiu'an grinned maliciously as he grabbed Tohsaka Aoi. "Remember this, this is the price you pay for daring to refuse me!"

"Ugh, liar! Jiu'an is a big liar, ugh!?"

Aoi Tohsaka screamed in despair, her facial expression completely collapsing as she could no longer hold on.

Irisviel watched in disbelief as Aoi Tohsaka's face changed.

Although she was crying and sneezing just now, she tried her best to maintain a basic level of consciousness. But as she screamed, Tohsaka Aoi's expression completely collapsed. Her eyes were wide open and the pupils were no longer visible. Saliva mixed with tears flowed from her wide-open cherry lips.

After a brief standoff, Aoi Tohsaka, whose chin was originally facing the water, lowered her head weakly, facing her directly.

But Irisviel was not afraid at all, because although Aoi Tohsaka's eyes were open, they could no longer focus. Although she had never experienced such a terrible thing, Irisviel understood that Aoi Tohsaka's mind would not return to normal for a while.

"Deserve it!"

Irisviel felt much better, but she was also a little jealous.

Although Aoi Tohsaka looks pitiful now, Irisviel, who has actually been bullied, can more or less understand the contrast behind that miserable appearance.

"Come out."

Lin Jiu'an picked up Tohsaka Aoi and held her in his arms, then carried her to the edge of the bathtub.

Irisviel then realized what was happening, climbed out of the bathtub, her face flushed, and looked at Lin Jiu'an with longing.

"Do you want her to find out? I don't mind, anyway."

"Then why are you here with her?"

Lin Jiu'an naturally couldn't admit to her that the second brother had defeated the eldest brother, but instead looked at Lin Jiu'an with a half-smile: "Hmm?"

"That's not what I meant, I'm leaving now!" Irisviel hurriedly apologized. Although she envied Aoi Tohsaka for being able to become like that, Irisviel was still a little scared. A slightly less intense version of the game would be enough.

Just as Irisviel stepped one leg out of the bathtub, she suddenly stopped.

Lin Jiu'an, who was originally planning to wash Tohsaka Aoi, stopped turning around and looked at Irisviel. His gaze lingered briefly on her snow-white, plump thighs, which were still dripping with glistening water as she stepped out of the bathtub, before looking up at Irisviel's face.

"how..."

The words are not finished yet.

Lin Jiu'an saw Irisviel's beautiful eyes staring unblinkingly at the bathroom door, as if she had seen something that shocked her greatly, but it didn't seem to be something terrifying. Instead, it was a mixture of feelings that Lin Jiu'an couldn't quite discern, such as shame, panic, surprise, and confusion.

Lin Jiu'an couldn't help but turn his head to look at the door, and then fell silent.

At the bathroom door, a small head was looking inside, and at that moment, it met Lin Jiu'an's gaze.

"cherry?"

Lin Jiu'an looked down at Tohsaka Aoi, who was facing away from him and back to her daughter, covered in snow and with a broken expression. He then looked at the girl with wide, beautiful eyes at the bathroom door. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should put Tohsaka Aoi down or continue holding her.

Even Lin Jiu'an, who was no longer human, felt extremely embarrassed.

Let's put Aoi Tohsaka down. He's not wearing anything right now, and it wouldn't be good if Sakura Tohsaka saw him. After all, this isn't 2004 anymore; Sakura isn't even in high school yet. It's one thing for an adult woman to see this, but if Sakura sees it...

But let's not let go.

Holding up Aoi Tohsaka in front of Sakura Tohsaka like this is really not appropriate.

"Why are you here?"

"Mom said she was worried that it wouldn't be safe for Sakura to be alone in her room, so she brought Sakura here so that Sakura could watch TV in the living room."

What kind of family would hire men with children?!

Lin Jiu'an suddenly felt that he hadn't punished Tohsaka Aoi enough. He should have punished her as severely as he had punished Kama.

"You saw it all."

Sakura Tohsaka blinked her big eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "What Onii-chan meant was that Onii-chan grows up and then bullies Mother..."

"Okay, okay, I understand, please don't say anymore!"

Lin Jiu'an took a deep breath and turned to look at Irisviel: "Irisviel, take Sakura out first."

"Huh?" Irisviel's gaze immediately turned extremely resentful.

If you're unwilling to face Sakura, do you think I'm willing to face her?

Although Irisviel disliked Aoi Tohsaka, she didn't have any ill feelings towards Sakura Tohsaka. In fact, she quite liked the little girl because she was so cute, sensible at such a young age, and had a sweet tongue.

With her own pregnancy underway, Irisviel grew even more fond of children.

And it was precisely because she liked him that Irisviel was so embarrassed to be seen doing this, even though she wasn't there.

"Listen to me, consider this as preparation for taking care of Ilya in the future."

Irisviel bit her lower lip, gave Lin Jiu'an a resentful look, and awkwardly stepped out of the bathtub. She quickly dried herself with magic, put on some clothes, and walked to the door to block Sakura Tohsaka's view while reaching out to take Sakura Tohsaka's small hand.

"Sakura, how about we go to the living room?"

"it is good!"

Sakura Tohsaka agreed, but then suddenly peeked out and looked at Lin Jiu'an.

"Onii-chan, can Sakura do this with you in the future?"

Lin Jiu'an's expression began to falter.

Although he naturally didn't intend to let Sakura off the hook after she grew up, saying it when she was a child and saying it when she grew up were two completely different things. He wasn't that sadistic. Besides, didn't he see that Irisviel was looking at him like he was a pervert?

"Let's talk about this later."

"Why? Does Onii-chan hate Sakura?"

Seeing Sakura Tohsaka's pitiful pout and teary eyes, Lin Jiu'an was about to blurt out his agreement, but then he noticed Irisviel staring intently at him from the corner of his eye. He immediately retracted his declaration of guilt and said instead, "Of course not, Sakura is so cute, I really like Sakura, it's just..."

"Then why won't Onii-chan agree?"

Sakura Tohsaka's beautiful, black gem-like eyes suddenly overflowed with tears, large tears falling like beads on a string.

Irisviel couldn't help but say, "Sakura, those things are still too..."

"Even though Mother said that Alice and Sakura are about the same age, why can Alice do that kind of thing with Onii-chan, but not Onii-chan can't agree to Sakura's request?"

It would have been better if Irisviel hadn't made a sound, because once she did, Sakura Tohsaka cried even harder.

"Sakura is going to tell Mother!"

Irisviel panicked. She had been hiding in the bathtub, enduring humiliation for so long, just to avoid being found out by that wicked woman, Aoi Tohsaka, who would then mock her. If Sakura told Aoi Tohsaka, wouldn't all her efforts be ruined?

Otherwise, should we just silence them?

A dark thought flashed through Irisviel's mind for a moment, and she suddenly felt that it wouldn't be so bad to let Lin Jiu'an agree.

"Your sister didn't stop Jiu'an from rejecting you; your sister supports you!"

Lin Jiu'an: "?"

"really?"

Sakura Tohsaka's sobs subsided slightly, and she looked at Irisviel with teary eyes.

so cute!

As Irisviel was gazed upon by Sakura Tohsaka's beautiful, jewel-like eyes filled with tears, she felt her heart melt. Looking at Aoi Tohsaka, who was hanging on Lin Jiu'an as an ornament, she hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, shame prevailed.

"Jiu'an, don't you think so?"

"Onii-chan?"

"...When you come of age, Sakura, your brother will stay with you."

Sakura knew Onii-chan was the best!

Sakura Tohsaka immediately stopped crying and started laughing. She then skipped around Irisviel and jogged over to Lin Jiu'an.

"cherry?"

Lin Jiu'an's embarrassment was almost palpable.

He's still holding Aoi!

Sakura Tohsaka is currently about 1.2 meters tall, while his adult human form is nearly 1.9 meters tall. With such a height difference, Sakura Tohsaka's height is only slightly higher than his navel by a little over half a head, and his line of sight is exactly where she came from.

Whether it was intentional or not, the little girl was standing very close to him, almost touching her mother.

However, Sakura Tohsaka didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, she happily tilted her head back and stretched out her little hand: "Onii-chan, pinky promise."

"Hook?"

"Yes, Onii-chan promises Sakura that when she comes of age, he'll treat her like he would treat his mother! Pinky promise!"

"There's no need for that, your brother wouldn't lie to you."

"No way! Mother just said Onii-chan was lying..."

"Okay, okay, pinky promise!"

Lin Jiu'an wrapped his left arm around Tohsaka Aoi's waist, and made a pinky promise with Tohsaka Sakura with his right hand.

Fortunately, after making the pinky promise, Sakura Tohsaka didn't do anything unexpected and happily left with Irisviel.

Lin Jiu'an only breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the bedroom door close. He then stopped showering and sat down in the bathtub with Tohsaka Aoi in his arms, saying with a mix of helplessness and amusement, "Stop pretending to be asleep, Sakura is already gone."

Aoi Tohsaka then opened her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling with shame, her beautiful emerald green eyes filled with resentment.

"It's all your fault, you had to put me through all that trouble."

She had already woken up when Sakura Tohsaka cried out that she wanted to tell her, her mother, what Irisviel had done in the bathroom, but she simply couldn't face her daughter.

This is a completely different concept from facing Tokiomi Tohsaka.

When she faced Tokiomi Tohsaka, she only felt a thrill. After all, the long time that had passed, her husband's indifference towards their marital relationship, and his attitude of treating her almost like a tool for procreation had long since extinguished her feelings for him.

"Blame me?"

Lin Jiu'an pinched Tohsaka Aoi's chin, forcing her to turn her head and look at him.

"Who brought Sakura here? Looks like the lesson just now wasn't enough."

If it were his own fault, he would let it go, but Lin Jiu'an never expected that Tohsaka Aoi, a Yamato Nadeshiko-style mother who seemed to love her daughters very much, would do something like this while having her daughters guard the gate!

"No, it was me, it was my fault."

Tohsaka Aoi hurriedly apologized pitifully, her eyes brimming with tears, like a weak little girl cornered by a beast.

"I never thought things would turn out this way."

She would never normally bring her daughter along at a time like this.

On the one hand, she is currently living with her daughter, Gilgamesh is not here, and they are still within the barrier. Tohsaka Aoi really doesn't feel safe. She is worried that her daughter might be in danger after she leaves, but she can't suppress the urge to come to Lin Jiu'an to solve her needs. That's why she brought her daughter with her and let her stay in the living room next door, so that she can be rescued in time if there is an accident.

On the other hand, and most importantly, there was the time when we were in Natalia's safe house.

When Lin Jiu'an was fighting the first four Servants, he covered Sakura's eyes, but he couldn't cover her ears at all. In the final battle between Lin Jiu'an and Camilla, she was away from her daughter and carelessly allowed Sakura to witness the entire battle between Lin Jiu'an and Camilla.

Later, when Lin Jiu'an punished Shuten-dōji, she forgot to cover her daughter's eyes.

It's fair to say that Sakura saw everything back then, whether she should have or not. That's why Aoi Tohsaka brought Sakura here now. Anyway, Sakura was going to find out about this sooner or later, and she had already been unexpectedly taught about it before.

"Who would have thought Sakura would come in?"

"alright."

Seeing Tohsaka Aoi's pitiful, tearful appearance, Lin Jiu'an couldn't bring himself to punish her any further.

What do you think of what Ying said?

'You'll naturally forget these things as you grow up.' These were the words Aoi Tohsaka wanted to say, but she didn't say them. Instead, she looked at Lin Jiu'an, who was still standing tall and proud, and recalled the changes she felt inside when her daughter ran up to her.
