I'm doing a crossover anime/manga project, and I'm creating a new kind of "Moonlight&

After all, magic circuits with temporal properties are quite rare.

Eight years ago, it was simply a matter of the lease expiring and the return of the valuable materials.

From the age of three, Kurumi Tohsaka—no, Kurumi Tokisaki—has not existed as a human being.

Rather, they are precious materials traded by magicians; every drop of blood and every piece of skin is a valuable magical material.

Time-based magic isn't particularly mysterious, but its application and mastery are different.

Moreover, it seems that Kurumi Tokisaki's body holds an even rarer secret about the shifting of world lines.

That is, to go back to the past and distort history.

What an allure the Tohsaka family is to these magicians, especially the descendants of the disciple of the second magician, the Jewel Mage.

Through their research into parallel worlds using the blueprints for the Jewel Sword, the Tohsaka family has gained a deep understanding of the past generations.

But the most lacking period of time, up to her father's generation, has seen no progress...

She looked at the lines of experimental records that were clearly left by his father, in which Kurumi was described in exaggeratedly trembling handwriting as a "modern fantasy species", "a born saint", "a monster", "the return of the divine species", "the salvation of mankind", and even as a magician, he used exaggerated words such as his ancestor (a disciple of the Jewel Mage) appearing.

It's easy to imagine how excited her father was.

"I remember now, I remember everything..."

Shoko Tohsaka bit her lip and murmured to herself.

Eight years ago, on the day Kurumi was adopted by the Matou family, her father was extremely unwilling and even threw a tantrum for several days.

When she was a child, her feelings for Kurumi were not like those of a family member, but rather like the care and protection one would show to a precious object. If Kurumi bumped or bruised, she would look at her with heartache, not as a person, but as a wound and blood on the ground.

She was even jealous of her father's love for her younger sister...

“…”

Biting her pale lips, Shoko Tohsaka continued searching for relevant files.

She soon discovered that her sister, Tokisaki Kurumi, who was not nominally her sister and now had no blood relation to her, was not simply someone who possessed time-series magic.

Rather, their entire existence is different from that of humans; they do not die, do not age, and do not possess life.

More like fairies or goddesses from the Age of Gods.

Until she was three years old, all her father saw was a baby who looked like a newborn. Her growth was the result of her father's magic.

What about the next eight years?

What exactly happened to Kurumi? Why...?

She vaguely sensed the intense distortion and darkness emanating from the person named Matou Kurumi.

side.

Mai Sakurajima, who was not being observed, also fell silent.

In fact, she had long suspected that the girl was up to something and was secretly causing trouble behind the scenes. However, every time she followed her, she felt that she was being discovered and had a terrifying sense of crisis, which prevented her from going any further.

Now it seems...

Within the field of view.

Many people also fell silent.

Honestly, anyone would be devastated by this experience. Life is so miserable, there's no hope at all.

Moreover, Kurumi Tohsaka is actually Kurumi Tokisaki, and not a descendant of the Tohsaka family. How can someone who is constantly being sent around find a sense of belonging?

in front of you.

Shoko Tohsaka kept searching through the files, trying to find more information, but she didn't find anything more.

Instead, it revealed a secret of the Matou family: the so-called previous generation of the Matou family, Matou Zouken, was actually the ancestor of the Matou family, who had been reincarnated in his descendants for hundreds of years.

Even the research is not on water magic that is outwardly displayed, but on insect magic.

The previous head of the family fell seriously ill exactly eight years ago, which was a few days after Kurumi was adopted into the Matou family.

Thinking of something, she gave up searching for Kurumi's file and instead began searching for another person's records.

soon......

She discovered a secret that most of the witnesses had already guessed.

"As expected, you are not Matou Hakurei at all."

Shoko Tohsaka looked at the flawless file before her, perfectly standardized, as if inserting a record into a causal chain, keeping the status quo unchanged, but adding an extra person.

But which one is the quiet, unassuming kid with such a low profile?

She might not care about others, but she knew very well what kind of existence the boy named Matou Hakurei was in the magic world.

It's just that it lacks magic; does that mean it can't stop a true genius?

Besides, does it really have no magic?

Clenching her fists tightly, Shoko Tohsaka rushed out of the archives.

Walking along the corridor, we entered an expanded space.

The courtyard has a rather nice view.

"Hey, Xiangzi, why are you in such a panic?"

Lying lazily on a beach chair, sunbathing, Nakano Ichika, who didn't look like a maid at all, yawned.

Shoko Tohsaka remained silent.

The Servant battle was such a huge commotion that even through the defenses of the Matou residence, the tremors should have been clearly felt, right? Besides, the red, black, and gold lights that were constantly shooting into the sky at that time should have been noticed, right?

She couldn't help but remind him, "Ichika, there's a Servant war going on over there, it's terrifying, I feel like it's even beyond the scale of Servants."

"Whatever, they can't possibly break into the Matou residence, can they? We should have faith in that guy."

The way that pretty girls don't care.

She was wearing a one-piece swimsuit, lying on a beach chair, sunbathing her back. Her figure was actually better than Kurumi's, with full and round thighs, a slim waist, and a taller stature. The five sisters were all about the same. Actually, she wanted to get a tan so that someone would find her interesting.

Yes.

Of the quintuplets, the one who hasn't been eaten yet is Nakano Nino, who seems to be the most capable, shrewd, and admires someone the most.

As we all know, anticipation is the furthest distance from getting your period.

Although it was only ten months.

Even Shoko Tohsaka, who wasn't part of the Matou family, understood this, so...

Her expression shifted, and she suddenly asked, "Ichika, when did you enter the Matou residence?"

"Me..."

Ichika comfortably rolled over on the sun lounger, her ample bosom bouncing back as she was squeezed.

It's quite bouncy.

This severely damaged the female self-confidence of the B-grade girl in front of her.

"About three years ago, what happened? But six or seven years ago, after my mother became seriously ill, we often played at the Matou residence."

"Do you know what kind of person Kurumi was back then?"

Shoko Tohsaka paused for a moment, then asked.

"this....."

Ichika Nakano looked at her in surprise.

That's your sister, right? Shouldn't you know better than us?

The gossip about Matou Kurumi's background had been circulating for years, and almost every maid knew about it.

"I just wanted to ask, out of curiosity about her life."

"I understand, it's your older sister's care, right? But it's definitely different, to be precise, very different. It changes every now and then, how should I put it..."

Nakano Ichika looked puzzled: "We were just playmates yesterday, but the next day she seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, and she has that mature woman vibe."

Actually, at first, Kurumi was a very cheerful person. She seemed to have something to rely on, and she was fearless. Well, maybe it was the young master?

For some unknown reason, he suddenly became more polite, silent, and reserved, as if he had suddenly lost his support or come to terms with reality.

Oh, right....."

Nakano Ichika remembered something and added, "For a while, well, a long time ago, Kurumi always said that she saw ghosts and was so scared that she couldn't sleep. She needed the young master's company to fall asleep."

"I...I understand, thank you."

Shoko Tohsaka looked quite grim and quickly headed towards Kurumi Matou's room.

If my guess is correct, the fluctuations from the Servant's battle haven't completely stopped yet, so she shouldn't be in the room at this time.

We need to hurry.

"Hey, I still have so much to say, are you leaving already?"

Yihua shrugged and continued with her image transformation plan.

Dark-skinned little devils are good to look at but not to eat, but dark-skinned hot girls are okay, right?

The quintuplets are the same height, and May weighs about the same. They also have the same fair skin, but May is a bit plumper. Yotsuba is athletic. The three sisters are almost identical. They need to have a memorable feature to win more favor.

The struggles within the imperial harem have always been this cruel.

Ichika closed her eyes with a mournful cry, "Sorry, I have to run ahead of you."

"Ichika, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, a cold snort rang out.

Wearing stylish headphones and dressed in a maid outfit, Nakano Miku appeared in sight: "Too cunning, Ichika."

They were both real women who shared the same bed; who could hide anything from whom? She immediately saw through Ichika's thoughts.

"The struggle for the crown prince position has always been like this..."

Yihua turned her head away guiltily.

"That's how you've always been!"

The much more cheerful Nakano Miku pounced on him, and they quickly started playfully fighting.

A short while later, Nakano Yotsuba, who had finished exercising, saw it and enthusiastically expressed her desire to show everyone her progress in Bajiquan.

"No way, Yotsuba is the most cunning one."

"Yeah, too cunning. Your technique is so flexible, taut, and straight! Damn it, prepare to die, Yotsuba!!"

May, munching on a meat bun, tilted her head and watched her older sisters tearing at each other's clothes and playfully fighting.

in reality.

After the screen went black, the five sisters immediately logged out, looked at each other silently, and everything was understood without words.

Only Ichika, who had sensed the truth, smiled faintly: "That world doesn't matter, but in reality, the younger sisters can't compete with their older sister for it."

Nino, expressionless, announced to the clerk: "From now on, no, you'll all be cooking for yourselves."

So you've tacitly excluded me, haven't you?

"No! I was wrong, Nino!!"

"It's all Ichika's fault."

"Yes, it's all because Ichika ate alone."

At this point, apart from his ex-girlfriend Ichika and Nino, who perfectly matched his sexual preferences, the other girls were just joking.

.....

While the maids were carefree and playing around, Xiangzi also came to Matou Kurumi's room.

"That's not it."

"Neither is this."

"Ah, so that guy really did make a move on Kurumi?"

"How could it be so early?! You scumbag, you're awful, h..."
