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

"0:37".

She had already washed up and was in bed by 10 o'clock, and has been lying there ever since.

When I close my eyes, I see Lin Jiu'an treating my mother's illness in the entryway when I come home from school in the afternoon.

Although she didn't understand what illness it was for, Rin Tohsaka wasn't stupid.

Okay, she might be a bit slow, but after thinking about it all night, Rin Tohsaka still felt that something was wrong. Her mother was definitely hiding something from her, but Rin Tohsaka really didn't know what it was.

But should I ask my mother?

Rin Tohsaka simply didn't have the courage, and besides, her mother probably wouldn't tell her the truth.

After hesitating for a moment, Rin Tohsaka's eyes suddenly lit up.

"You can go ask Lin Jiu'an!"

Rin Tohsaka is very proactive.

The thought popped into her head, and she immediately forgot to put on her shoes. Barefoot and still in her pajamas, she left the bedroom and ran towards Lin Jiu'an's room.

Rin Tohsaka was about to knock when she arrived at Lin Jiu'an's bedroom door.

Suddenly, I noticed that there seemed to be some faint sounds coming from the room.

"Is that... the sound from the entryway this afternoon?"

Although she still couldn't tell what the sound was, Rin Tohsaka clearly remembered hearing the same sound that afternoon.

Suddenly.

Rin Tohsaka opened her beautiful eyes wide in disbelief.

Tonight, Mother actually slept with that guy we just picked up again?

The girl's face was instantly filled with envy that almost turned into jealousy. Hesitantly, she couldn't resist her curiosity and quietly opened a crack in the door.

That's when I saw the scene inside the room.

Immediately, Rin Tohsaka blushed for some reason, and after just one glance, she fled as if her life depended on it.

On the way back to the bedroom, as I passed my sister's room, the door suddenly opened.

"elder sister?"

Seeing Rin Tohsaka walking quickly past, the sleepy-eyed Rin blinked to confirm, then tilted her head.

"What are you doing?"

"N-nothing." Rin Tohsaka shook her head frantically, like a rattle-drum, before finally asking, unable to contain her curiosity, "Sakura, did you see what happened in the entryway this afternoon?"

"Is my sister referring to the time when Onii-chan treated Mother's illness?"

"Hmm, do you know what kind of illness that's treating?"

Sakura tilted her head, her little face displaying an adorable expression of deep thought, which made Rin resist the urge to rub her face.

"Sakura doesn't know."

Sakura Tohsaka shook her head apologetically: "But it must be a very serious illness."

"Maybe." Rin Tohsaka wholeheartedly agreed.

After all, what kind of good person would go to see a doctor in the middle of the night for no reason?

My mother must be terminally ill.

The kind of thing that absolutely cannot be found out by my father!

Although Rin Tohsaka still didn't understand what they were doing, she vaguely realized that if her father found out, she and Sakura might never see their mother again.

So he instructed her, "Sakura, you must not tell anyone else about this, especially your father, understand?"

"Yes! Sakura is a good girl! Sakura wouldn't say such things!"

Rin Tohsaka breathed a sigh of relief, said goodnight to Sakura, and quickly left.

Sakura Tohsaka was left watching her sister's retreating figure, a smile suddenly appearing on her small face.

"My sister is such an idiot."

Chapter Seven: Tokiomi, you deserved your family's ruin!

The next day.

early morning.

At the Tohsaka family's dining table.

Even though it's the weekend, everyone still got up very early.

"Aoi, I've already made arrangements with the Matou family."

While everyone was quietly enjoying Aoi's breakfast, Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly spoke up.

"Help Sakura pack today, and I'll send her to the Matou family tomorrow. From now on, Sakura will take the Matou surname."

"Why?!" Rin Tohsaka blurted out.

She had been preoccupied with what illness Lin Jiu'an had treated for her mother, when she suddenly blurted out the news that her younger sister was going to be sent to someone else's house without thinking. Now, seeing her father frowning at her, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

But since things had come to this, Rin Tohsaka still forced herself to speak and asked, "Why did you send Sakura away, Father?"

"This is the adults' decision."

Tokiomi Tohsaka naturally wouldn't explain to his daughter that this was 'to seize the Matou family's magic crest,' as she was too young and wouldn't understand even if he did.

You'll understand when you grow up.

Rin Tohsaka was speechless. She wanted to say something but didn't have the courage, so she could only glare angrily at Lin Jiu'an.

In her opinion, it was all Lin Jiu'an's fault!

Otherwise, why would Lin Jiu'an's father send Ying away after only two days of his arrival?

Lin Jiu'an: "?"

Feeling Lin's angry gaze, Lin Jiu'an was full of questions.

Although he felt it best not to say anything since he was new here, Lin Jiu'an whispered, "Is it because of me?"

I am truly tea!

Lin Jiu'an himself couldn't stand himself, but he could only grit his teeth and finish what he was saying.

"If it's because of me, I can leave here."

There was nothing he could do; Rin was now looking at him with hostility, and if he let her continue to let her imagination run wild, she might start to hate him.

It would be one thing if it were something I did myself, but this clearly has nothing to do with me.

Lin Jiu'an didn't want Rin Tohsaka to say, "It's all Jiu'an's fault!" whenever something happened in the future.

Let Tokiomi continue to take the blame.

Did I misunderstand him?

Upon seeing Lin Jiu'an, he took the initiative to step forward and assume responsibility.

Rin Tohsaka's gaze towards Lin Jiu'an was less hostile than before, but she was still very unhappy.

Upon hearing her father's announcement, Sakura, who had been on the verge of tears with her head hanging low, looked at Lin Jiu'an with emotion.

Onii-chan...

"no!"

On the contrary, Tohsaka Aoi, who hadn't dared to speak when she heard Tokiomi say that he was going to send his youngest daughter away, hurriedly spoke up at this moment.

Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned and looked at his wife, his expression somewhat displeased.

"sunflower?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka discovered that since Lin Jiu'an arrived, his wife, who had always been very pleasing to him, had become increasingly disobedient.

"sorry."

Tohsaka Aoi hesitated and lowered her head.

Tokiomi Tohsaka snorted coldly, not thinking much of it. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't have imagined that a seven-year-old child could have such powerful abilities that even an eighteen-year-old African boy couldn't match. He just gave Lin Jiu'an a dissatisfied look.

"nothing dealing with you."

Did he think he didn't want to send him away?

Tokiomi Tohsaka couldn't be happier than to send Lin Jiu'an and Sakura to the Matou family together.

but.

On one hand, Tokiomi Tohsaka considered that Aoi cared too much about this child, and if he insisted on sending both children away together, there might be some trouble for Aoi.

On the other hand, Tokiomi Tohsaka was worried that Lin Jiu'an's magic circuits were of no less quality than Sakura's, and that if they were sent to the Matou family, the magic crest might end up in Lin Jiu'an's hands.

Although Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't quite believe that Lin Jiu'an, an orphan, could have such good magic circuits.

But this boy was just too handsome; he was so handsome that he seemed to have all the possibilities and could do anything, so you had to be careful.

With the Holy Grail War about to begin, Tokiomi Tohsaka did not want to create too much trouble at this time.

"Aoi, come to my study after you finish eating."

After saying this, Tokiomi Tohsaka put down his chopsticks, got up, and left the restaurant.

The remaining people also lost their appetite because of the fact that Sakura was going to be sent away.

Only after Tokiomi's footsteps disappeared did Tohsaka Aoi silently get up and go upstairs.

"I'm stuffed."

Sakura Tohsaka said something dejectedly, then lowered her head and left the living room.

Lin Jiu'an and Rin Tohsaka were left alone. As soon as Lin Jiu'an looked at her, the girl turned her head away, snorted, and then jumped off the chair and ran upstairs.

"Are the Holy Grail and the Root really that important?"

Looking at the warm dining table where there had just been a family of five, now only he was left. Lin Jiu'an, who was holding a bowl of rice that he had only eaten halfway, lost his appetite and sighed. The guilt he felt for unintentionally overshadowing Shi Chen lessened considerably.

"Tokiomi, you deserve to have your family destroyed."

······

"How can we keep Sakura here?"

Rin Tohsaka really wanted to talk to her father and beg him not to send Sakura away.

But she dared not.

He could only watch helplessly as his mother left his father's study with her head down and a dejected expression, while he stared at the study door but hesitated to go in.

"My father must have his reasons for doing this."

At last.

Rin Tohsaka, on the contrary, convinced herself.

"Let's go see the cherry blossoms."

Silently turning and leaving the study door, Rin Tohsaka soon saw her younger sister squatting by the big tree in the garden, her shoulders trembling slightly, through the window.

Just as he was heading to the garden to find her, Rin Tohsaka suddenly saw him.

Lin Jiu'an walked towards his younger sister.

What does he want to do?

Rin Tohsaka stopped and secretly watched them.

"Alright, Sakura, don't be sad."

Lin Jiu'an knelt down next to Tohsaka Sakura and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Onii-chan."

Sakura Tohsaka raised her beautiful, teary eyes and looked at him pitifully.

"I don't want to leave home, and I don't want to change my surname to Matou."
