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

"Do not worry."

Lin Jiu'an reached out and hugged Sakura, gently stroking her soft, long hair to comfort her, "With your brother here, I won't let you go to the Matou family."

“But this is Father’s decision,” Sakura Tohsaka sobbed.

She and Aoi Tohsaka have similar personalities; they are both gentle, submissive wives, with only a slight tendency to be mischievous.

Rin Tohsaka, though opinionated, also fears and idolizes her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka.

In addition, Aoi Tohsaka's submissive nature meant she never opposed Tokiomi Tohsaka.

This resulted in the entire Tohsaka family becoming Tokiomi Tohsaka's personal fiefdom, and Sakura Tohsaka couldn't think of any way to change her father's decision.

She dared not, and her mother dared not either.

It's possible if her older sister insists that she stay, since their father values ​​her highly. However, her older sister, who has always longed for her father's approval, is unlikely to do so.

"Trust your brother. Since you've already called me brother, if I were to let you be sent away, wouldn't it be a waste of your calling me brother?"

"Onii-chan." Sakura Tohsaka looked at Lin Jiu'an with emotion.

In the girl's world, Shichen, her father, is like heaven, and Lin Jiu'an is actually willing to go against heaven for her sake.

The girl's beautiful eyes were filled with Lin Jiu'an's image.

After comforting Tohsaka Sakura for a while, Lin Jiu'an took her hand and led her back into the house.

Then I went upstairs, and after walking a short distance to the second floor, I heard a call coming from not far away.

"Jiu'an".

Lin Jiu'an looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tohsaka Aoi looking at him with a downcast expression and a suppressed longing in her eyes.

Obviously.

Not only men, but women also like to play a game when they are in a bad mood.

Lin Jiu'an nodded, watching Tohsaka Aoi turn and walk into the bedroom with a joyful expression. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and followed her into the bedroom with a look of resignation.

"Sakura, your brother has sacrificed so much for you."

Chapter Eight, Madam, you didn't want this either...

Shortly after Lin Jiu'an and Tohsaka Aoi entered the bedroom.

Rin Tohsaka crept out from the end of the corridor, crept to the bedroom door, and pressed her ear against it.

She was curious.

What exactly does Lin Jiu'an plan to do to change his father's mind and let his sister stay?

They were also curious about what illness Lin Jiu'an had treated for his mother.

Just as he was eavesdropping, Sakura's voice suddenly rang out from beside him.

"elder sister?"

Rin Tohsaka was startled and turned around to see Sakura standing not far away, watching her.

"What are you doing?"

Rin Tohsaka put her index finger to her lips.

She pointed to the door again and whispered, "Mother and Lin Jiu'an are in the room."

Upon hearing this, Sakura Tohsaka's eyes lit up with curiosity again. She also wanted to know how her brother had persuaded their father to change his mind and let her stay.

The two sisters exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's meaning.

He pressed his face against the door, ear to ear, listening to what was happening inside.

······

Lin Jiu'an nestled in Tohsaka Aoi's arms, resting his head on the very comfortable pillow beneath her loose-fitting clothes.

"Mrs. Tohsaka, what happened with Sakura?"

Upon hearing Lin Jiu'an mention his youngest daughter, a layer of sorrow appeared on Tohsaka Aoi's face, which was originally full of happiness.

"You don't understand the specifics of Jiu'an."

How am I supposed to understand if you don't tell me?

Lin Jiu'an bit Tohsaka Aoi in dissatisfaction.

"Say it or not?!"

"Little rascal."

Lin Jiu'an didn't use too much force.

Tohsaka Aoi wasn't in much pain; she just affectionately patted Lin Jiu'an's head.

"Okay, but to put it in terms you can understand, Sakura has an exceptional talent in a certain area, no less than Rin's. To avoid wasting Sakura's talent, Tokiomi has always wanted to have her adopted by another family in that area, and the Matou family is one such family."

"Their family history is no shorter than that of the Tohsaka family, and they have a lot of assets. It's just that they have no successor. If Sakura can be adopted into the family, she can inherit the Matou family business after the head of the Matou family passes away."

"Then, Madam, would you like Sakura to be adopted?"

Aoi Tohsaka looked even more dejected. As a mother, how could she want her daughter to leave her?

For her, the Holy Grail and the Root were meaningless, and she was content with enough material life and did not crave anything more.

"This is Tokiomi's decision, and as his wife, I can only support it."

"I'm asking you if you want to." Lin Jiu'an took another bite, applying a little more force.

"Ugh."

Aoi Tohsaka cried out in pain, gave this little rascal who showed her no mercy whatsoever a resentful look, and whispered, "I don't want to."

"Then you just need to tell the head of the Tohsaka family that you firmly disagree."

"No way."

A look of fear of the unknown crossed Aoi Tohsaka's face.

The education she received from childhood, along with her obedient lifestyle of following her husband over the years, made her never even dare to think about rebelling against him.

"I can not do it."

Don't you love Sakura?

Facing this woman who had fallen to such a low level, Lin Jiu'an was no longer so restrained in his speech.

"Besides, the Matou family probably isn't a good place, is it?"

Aoi Tohsaka nodded and bit her cherry lips.

Although she was just an ordinary woman, she had heard about the Matou family and that many members of the family seemed to be acting strangely.

I've seen the Matou family head visit them before; he looks like a terrifying old monster. Sakura was so scared she couldn't sleep for days. If Sakura were to actually move in with him...

"But, but Tokiomi won't care about my thoughts."

Although it was sad, Aoi Tohsaka knew her place in her husband's heart.

To the other party, they are merely a tool for perpetuating their bloodline.

This is how she was raised. Just like she never dared to disobey her husband, Tohsaka Aoi has no complaints about her mission as a "tool" until now.

"The head of the Tohsaka family may not care about your thoughts, but what about Rin?"

"cold?"

Aoi Tohsaka shook her head. No one knows a daughter better than her mother; she knew her two daughters' personalities very well.

The eldest daughter is independent.

But he longed for his father's approval and never angered Tokiomi.

The younger daughter is submissive and obedient, almost a carbon copy of her mother.

"Rin will not defy Tokiomi's decision, even if it means sending her sister away."

“Rin won’t argue with the head of the Tohsaka family over the departure of her younger sister.”

"But if you and the head of the Tohsaka family really have a fight, even to the point of getting a divorce, will Rin still stand by and watch her mother and sister leave her?"

A look of excitement flickered in Aoi Tohsaka's beautiful eyes, but this was quickly followed by fear.

"I...I dare not."

"You do not dare?"

Lin Jiu'an sneered, "You don't dare to contradict the head of the Tohsaka family, but you dare to do this to me."

"Ugh?"

Aoi Tohsaka was stunned and asked weakly, "W-What is it?"

"Don't kid yourself."

Lin Jiu'an felt that he looked like an evil Uchiha.

She sneered, "Mrs. Tohsaka, you wouldn't want your husband to know what you forced me to do, would you?"

Aoi Tohsaka was taken aback, then panicked.

"No, you can't!"

Tohsaka Aoi kept shaking her head, looking pitifully at Lin Jiu'an: "I'm sorry, please don't report me, okay?"

Lin Jiu'an said coldly, "If you don't want me to report you, do as I say."

Hearing that there was still room for a change, Tohsaka Aoi breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she asked weakly, "Then, if I do as you say, can we continue?"

Is this all you can think about?!

"If Sakura can stay, that's fine."

"That's fine..."

"Don't go too far!"

"If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, Jiu'an, don't be angry."

Tohsaka Aoi didn't care; she was content that the other person was willing to stay with her without reporting her.

He held Lin Jiu'an tightly in his arms.

With a happy expression, she said, "I will do as you say!"

······

After resting in bed with Aoi Tohsaka for a while, Lin Jiu'an left her bedroom when Aoi went to take a shower.

Just as Lin Jiu'an was sneaking back to his room.

"Lin Jiu'an."

The girl's sudden voice startled Lin Jiu'an.

Turning her head, Lin Jiu'an realized that the Tohsaka Sakura and Tohsaka Rin, the two sisters, were standing not far from the corner of the corridor, watching her.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Jiu'an felt a chill run down his spine.

damn it.

Will they see me betraying my life for Sakura? Or did they just stop me after seeing me come out of Aoi's room? Or perhaps they simply want to know how I can get Sakura to stay?

"Thank you."

Rin Tohsaka suddenly bowed deeply to him.

Lin Jiu'an: "?"

Sakura Tohsaka looked so moved she was almost crying.

"Onii-chan, thank you."

Lin Jiu'an: "?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Um, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you in the past. If you really don't want to talk to your mother, I can talk to her for you?"
