One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

——After all, it hasn’t grown crooked yet, has it?

According to the information, Shinji has pretty good talents in other aspects except magic. He really wants to see what Shinji looks like when he grows up normally.

"Master Matou ran into a problem while researching magic, so he took your father with him to find a way to deal with it. He probably won't be back for a while, so he temporarily entrusted the Matou family to me."

Bai Ye spoke without hesitation, appearing beside Shinji in the blink of an eye and gently patting his shoulder, showing his great strength. "But don't worry, Kariya should be back soon. You should trust him, right?"

"Ah? Yes, I believe it. Of course I believe it!"

Shinji unconsciously took a few steps back. He had learned some magic before, so he knew how powerful this trick was. His heart trembled slightly.

"Okay Shinji, don't be nervous, you can think of me as your elder."

He patted Shinji's shoulder again, so hard that he grimaced. Bai Ye's tone was also filled with a hint of smile, "Come on, Shinji, I'm really optimistic about you."

"Speaking of which, I heard from Mr. Matou that your magic circuits seem to have degenerated. Is this true?"

Bai Ye revealed some internal information of the Matou family in order to deepen his non-existent relationship with the Matou family.

After hearing this, Shinji lowered his head in frustration. You could see his fists clenched unwillingly, but unfortunately... this could not change his low talent.

"Snapped--"

Another heavy blow, nearly sending Shinji stumbling. Though he didn't mind, thinking about the plot of Fate... a proper "education" would be like collecting interest.

"Okay Shinji, there's no point in giving up on yourself."

Bai Yeban squatted down, his eyes level with Shinji's, and then he said earnestly, "The world is so big, there's always a way to deal with things like magic circuits."

"Now! Your most important thing is to lay a solid foundation. Of course, you also need to improve your other subjects. I've always been very good at judging people, and I believe you have the talent, Shinji."

Shinji saw encouragement in Byakuya's eyes, something he had never felt from Old Bug or his father before. "Okay! I understand. I'll work hard! Thank you..."

Shinji clenched his fists, his whole body seemed to be on fire, and spoke solemnly to Bai Ye, and then he got stuck - he didn't know Bai Ye's name.

"My name is Bai Ye, you can call me Brother Bai Ye. As for thanking me, there's no need. Instead of wasting time, it's better to take action."

Bai Ye continued to give Shinji chicken soup, saying that he would do anything to change the scumbag in the plot! He was still young and had a chance to change.

"I'll sort out all the relevant books later, and then you can study them yourself... Oh, remember to be safe. And don't neglect other aspects, and then..."

It sounds quite long-winded, but it is just right for Shinji - given the special growing environment of the Matou family, he had poor qualifications and did not receive any care at all, but now all of it has been made up.

"I understand, Brother Bai Ye, I will try my best!" Shinji said with great fighting spirit.

"Well, do your best."

Still with the same force as before, Bai Ye clapped his hands twice and continued walking ahead, "Now I'll take you to meet the others. Shinji, you must remember that family members should get along well with each other."

Family?... Shinji had always felt indifference from his father and grandfather. When he heard Bai Ye's words, he was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong, Shinji?"

"Ah, nothing, I just thought of some unimportant things, but I have remembered what my brother said." Shinji shook his head, and some ideas in his mind began to change.

Soon, Shinji met Sakura and Bronya. As for the matter of the heir, the old bug died suddenly without saying much, so Shinji didn't know much about it.

He only knew that he had a younger sister! Furthermore, Byakuya's elder brother had said, "Family members should get along well with each other," and because of this, he was relatively friendly towards Sakura.

Feeling the kindness emanating from Shinji, Sakura couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that not everyone was like "Grandpa".

"Shinji, Sakura will be your sister from now on. As a brother, you must protect her well~"

Bronya also spoke up. As an "adult," her words were persuasive, reinforcing Shinji's impression that a brother's job was to protect his sister.

"Of course, I will definitely protect Sakura!" Shinji also made a promise in front of Bronya.

In response, Bronya just smiled and stretched out her white hand to ruffle Shinji's hair. "Okay, okay~ But if you want to protect others, you must at least have the power to protect. Do you understand me, Shinji?"

"Power?"

The deterioration of his magic circuits had practically cut off his path forward! Under such circumstances, how could he possess the power to protect others... Shinji was silent for a moment.

"Okay, don't be so deep-minded at such a young age. Just let us adults think about this matter. What you need now is experience."

Bronya interrupted Shinji's thoughts, and was also amused by this different Shinji. "By the way, Bronya seems to have not introduced herself yet...eh?"

She blurted out her customary self-proclaimed name, and then... well... it felt a little awkward. Bronya coughed dryly a few times, then adjusted herself. "Ahem~ Anyway, just call me Sister Bronya."

"Okay, Sister Bronya."

Shinji nodded to show that he understood, and never mentioned Bronya's previous mistake.

The group chatted quite happily, and such a harmonious atmosphere obviously helped Sakura come out of the shadows.

……

"Okay, it's getting late, it's almost time to cook."

It was time for dinner, so Bai Ye clapped his hands to end the conversation, motioning for everyone to go to the dining room while he went to the kitchen. "Although we have servants at home, when it comes to cooking, I think my level is a little bit higher."

187. Changes in the Matou Family

"Hmm... delicious!"

At the Japanese table, Shinji devoured the food with big mouthfuls, completely forgetting all manners. Although it was just a few home-cooked dishes, it was this that showed Bai Ye's extraordinary level.

Bai Ye and Bronya didn't care about this and continued to focus their attention on Sakura, picking up some dishes for her from time to time.

Sakura hadn't considered the reasons behind her adoption from the Tōsaka family. She was just a child, convinced she'd been abandoned. Her subsequent meeting with Mushikura only solidified her convictions.

What she needs at this moment is real care, only in this way can she slowly walk out of the shadows.

After the meal, Bai Ye sent Shinji to do his homework, while he went to the Matou family's library... Although he looked down on insect magic, it was still necessary to understand some basic knowledge.

"Alright Sakura, let's go get some rest too~"

Everyone else left, and Bronya picked up Sakura and went to a guest room. The master bedroom was where someone else had slept, so it needed to be cleaned before it could be used again.

Sakura had experienced too much that day, with great emotional ups and downs. She was indeed tired, so of course she had no objections. She obediently leaned on Bronya's arms and went to the guest room.

The guest room looks clean, but it is the Matou family after all, who knows if there are any problems?

Bronya held Sakura in her arms, and a pool of black, sticky Yin Lei spread out under her feet, mixed with Shesha's ability, completely swallowing up everything in the house.

Immediately afterwards, another round of magic power erupted, urging the power of law to construct new sheets and furniture... to ensure they were clean enough.

Afterwards, accompanied by Bronya, the exhausted Sakura simply washed up, changed into a cute pink pajamas, and finally lay down on the bed with Bronya.

Sakura curled up in Bronya's arms, her small hands tightly grasping her collar, obviously still feeling insecure.

Seeing this, Bronya patted her back gently, soothing her in a very gentle tone, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, Sister Bronya is here..."

But Sakura didn't answer - she had fallen asleep, and her actions at this moment were only due to her anxiety, so she instinctively sought comfort from Bronya.

Realizing this, Bronya sighed secretly and hugged Sakura in her arms with great pity, "It's okay, Sakura, everything will change."

On the other hand, Bai Ye did not sleep at all. He stayed in the library all night reading magic books... The attributes of Type-Moon magic are roughly divided into five categories: earth, water, wind, fire, air, and some imaginary elements, such as "imaginary numbers".

Of course, the imaginary numbers in the Type-Moon world are obviously different from the "tree" system.

Then came the most basic hints, projections, and the like. As an existence that was getting closer and closer to being "non-human", Bai Ye mastered them in no time.

As for the magic circuit... this thing was only constructed in later generations. There were basically no magic circuits in the Age of Gods, but didn't those Casters still use them?

Bai Ye is similar. Compared with modern humans of Type-Moon, his physique is more like that of a hero from the Age of Gods, so of course there is no restriction on magic circuits.

"As expected, projection magic suits me best."

Bai Ye was flipping through the classics when an identical book appeared in his free left hand. There was no difference at all... After all, this book belonged to the realm of the Ruler of Reason.

Not only that, he also has many ideas that he wants to put into practice, but due to the limitations of his current magic level, he cannot do it for the time being.

After flipping through a few more books, Bai Ye casually closed them and let out a long sigh. "Looks like I should go to the clock tower when I have some free time."

"Also, there's the Holy Grail War a year from now. As long as they're not like Gilles de Ray, most Casters are still capable..."

As Bai Ye was speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, and the bright red stigmata, symbolizing qualification for the Holy Grail War, slowly appeared.

……

After that, Byakuya and Bronya also integrated into the Matou family. On weekdays, they accompanied Sakura, taught Shinji magic knowledge, and guided him to establish correct values.

As the days passed, with the company of Byakuya, Bronya... and Shinji, Sakura gradually stepped out of the shadows and began to learn magic.

"Brother Bai Ye, this magic ritual..."

Shinji had longed to learn magic for a long time. Now that he had the opportunity, he immediately absorbed magic knowledge like a sponge, and asked Bai Ye for advice from time to time.

Sakura's foundation was laid by Bronya - she had never been exposed to these things in the Tōsaka family! Tōsaka Tokiomi had always only taught her sister.

"Magic attributes are broadly divided into five elements: earth, water, wind, fire, and air. Of course, there are also some imaginary elements, such as..."

Bronya was teaching Sakura the basics of magic when she paused for a moment, then quickly continued, "For example, Sakura, your attribute is imaginary number."

On the other hand, Bai Ye also noticed it. Bronya knew that he would deal with it, so she didn't care.

"Shinji, study on your own for a while. We have guests coming to our house. I'll go and entertain them."

Bai Ye temporarily stopped the class, greeted Shinji, and entered into quantization. His whole body turned into nebula-like blue light particles and dissipated in the blink of an eye.

"So handsome..."

No matter how many times I see it, Byakuya's entrances and exits remain undeniably impressive. While I'm not sure if I can replicate it, that certainly doesn't stop Shinji from fantasizing about it.

……

Matou Kariya had long since abandoned magic and chosen an ordinary life. However... when he heard that Matou Zouken had adopted Tousaka Sakura, he immediately rushed back from his hometown.

He pushed open the door of the Matou family's house with an expressionless face and walked towards the reception room - he knew that with Matou Zouken's ability, he would definitely know that he was back.

But before Yan Ye could reach the reception room, a shadow suddenly solidified in front of him and transformed into a young man with extraordinary bearing.

From the moment he saw Bai Ye, Kariya knew something was amiss. With Zang Yan's personality, how could he possibly let a stranger in? He assumed a defensive stance, "Who are you?"

"You can call me Bai Ye."

Bai Ye bowed slightly, showing proper etiquette, and then quickly got to the point, "Matou Kariya, you came here for Sakura, right? It's a pity that you're late..."

"What do you mean? What happened to Sakura?"

Kariya's emotions immediately became excited, and he rushed towards Bai Ye without caring about the gap between the two.

"Calm down, calm down, why are you so irritable?"

Bai Ye dodged it with a flash, and then a golden chain appeared out of thin air, locking up Matou Kariya. "Sakura is fine, and I believe she will grow up healthy in the future."

"Impossible! Zang Yan..."

"Oh, you mean the old bug? He's dead. I killed him. Now the Matou family is under my control."

Bai Ye interrupted Matou Kariya and calmly announced the old bug's death. After all, it was just a bug that was crushed to death. What was there to brag about?

Then, he extended a hand toward Kariya. "But I've seen that the Matou family has quite a lot of assets, and I need someone to manage them. Are you interested in staying, Kariya?"

188. Visitors from the Magic Association

Led by Bai Ye, Kariya walked in the Matou residence, looking around from time to time, feeling that everything was so unreal.

Although he hated the old man, he had to admit his strength. But in the end... he just died like that? It felt a little too hasty.

"There are no more bugs like that in the Matou family now. If you don't believe me, you can go around and see if I'm right."

Bai Ye was personally responsible for the pest control operation, so he could certainly guarantee it. "But you should be more concerned about Sakura now, right? Come on, you'll be able to see her soon."

"By the way, if Shinji asks, just say I'm an old acquaintance of Old Mushi, and he asked me to look after the Matou family. Kariya, you should understand what I mean."

"I have no opinion."

Kariya had no feelings for the old bug and readily agreed to Byakuya's request, "Without Zouken, Sakura will only live a better life in the Matou household."

"Tsk tsk, you really don't care about Shinji? After all, he's your nephew, right?"

Bai Ye and Kariya chatted as they walked through the aisles and soon came to Bronya's side. "This is Bronya, Sakura's temporary guardian..."

But as he spoke, Bai Ye realized that the other party was not listening at all, and his attention was almost entirely on Sakura.

"Tsk, okay, you can go over now." Bai Ye pushed him rudely.

Kariya stumbled and came to Sakura in a somewhat awkward manner. Fortunately, he still had some sense and knew to greet her first, "Hello, Miss Bronya, um..."

Bronya nodded slightly at him, then patted Sakura, who was concentrating on learning magic, and said in a very gentle tone, "Okay, Sakura, take a break for a while, and see who's here?"
