The sun is setting, and the night is about to cover the winter wood.

"The days are really getting shorter, it didn't get dark so quickly before, even if you continue to have a drink and go shopping after school, you can still get home before the sun goes down......"

Walking on the lonely and deserted street, looking at the hazy night and the street lights that began to light up, Mika Ayako exhaled cold air and said with some emotion.

At the same time, she still has some doubts in her heart, although it is said that the days are short and the nights are long in winter, which is a natural law, but when has the day become so short? Obviously, I felt that I and Sakura didn't delay too much time, but I practiced normally for a while in the archery club after school, and then left school.

But before you could walk to Tosaka's house, night had already fallen?

However, Mi Ayako only subconsciously felt that this situation was not quite right, but she couldn't say why.

Similarly, Sakura also dealt with it absent-mindedly, listening to Ayako's words at all, and all her attention now was not on this second-grade senior sister, just thinking about how to get her rid of her-

And be polite and not arouse the suspicion of the other party?

But it's hard to do, if there is such a good way, she won't accompany Mika Ayako here, and she will already be able to see the outline of the mansion from afar...... And they've all come here, there's no reason for Mika Ayako to turn back at this time, right?

"Speaking of which, during this time, are Sakura and Tosaka preparing for something very important?"

Mika Ayako is very good at holding Sakura's arm, the main purpose is to prevent this girl from having a chance to run away.

"W-What?" Sakura Makiri, who was thinking wildly, was slightly stunned, and her body stiffened slightly, could it be that Senior Sister Mei already knew? About the secrets of the magic world that she and her sister are intentionally hiding?

"I can see it too, I said you, you won't think of me as the kind of careless person who can't even notice the strangeness of the people around me, right?"

Mitsuki Ayako sighed, and reached out a little helplessly, brushing the hair that fell from the girl's shoulder, she also regarded this school girl as her own sister.

"Let's not talk about Tosaka, Sakura, you're often distracted these days, and many times when I talk to you, you can't hear it, I don't know what I'm thinking, so engrossed...... And the practice time in the kyudo club has also been significantly reduced? It's like you're trying to train on me? Leave as soon as the time comes. ”

"Hold, I'm sorry, I'm ...... senior sister"

"Haha? Don't you have to apologize to me? I know Sakura is a very polite and good boy, so there must be something that you've been paying attention to lately, right? Upset? Mi Ayako laughed deliciously, "Can you tell me about it?" ”

“……”

“……”

Kirizakuri Sakura hesitated slightly? But look at the Tosaka house just a short distance ahead? Still gritted his teeth and said softly: "Actually, it's like this, I ...... I...... Brother, he's back. ”

That's all she could explain.

Holy Grail Wars, World of Magic? These things are really not suitable for Senior Sister Hemei, she said.

But can I still talk about my brother's affairs? Or it's necessary to say it, because there's no point in continuing to hide it, after all, Senior Sister Mei has already come here, and it's very likely that she will still meet her brother later, right?

Besides, even if you don't talk about what will happen later, just talk about this Holy Grail War after it is over? At that time? It's not suitable for my brother to hide all the time and never appear in front of people, right...... That's what Sakura Makiri thinks? She didn't think about whether Xia Ran would stay at all, or she didn't want to think about it in that direction.

- but stubbornly identify the glorious future that he dreams of.

"Huh?" Mika Ayako never thought she would get such an answer? Some stunned opened his mouth wide, "Your brother? Wait a minute? Why didn't I hear that you two sisters had a brother......"

"Is it my brother? It has nothing to do with Tosaka-senpai. Sakura explained it clearly for the first time.

"Eh——?"

Mika Ayako emitted a noticeably elongated tone? She asked very suspiciously: "Could it be the original child of the Jian Tong family, the eldest son or something?" But I hadn't heard of it before, and I thought there was only one heir to Sakura's generation......"

"No, this ...... It's hard to explain to you with Sister Mei. The purple-haired girl was a little troubled, "Anyway, as long as I know that he is my brother, there are very complicated reasons for this......"

In fact, there is still a Jian Tong Shinji in the Jian Tong family, but that kid doesn't know how to judge the situation at all, unlike the ideas of the previous generation such as Jian Tong Heye or Jian Tong Yanye, he has not changed his opinion when he doesn't know anything, that is, a group of outsiders killed his grandfather and forcibly occupied the family business of the Jian Tong family.

- and also shattered his dream of inheriting the family property and becoming the head of the family in the future.

Especially when he learned that his family turned out to be a demon family, this blow was even greater, he felt that if there was no such group of outsiders, he would definitely be able to get the insight and analysis of his wise and martial grandfather, and become a hero of the dark world with great power......

And I don't know what kind of nerves my father has, he has no backbone at all, there is no resistance on the surface, and there is no plan in secret, but it seems that he has survived a hard life, and he is grateful to the benefactor who saved him from the sea of suffering, and he is really very concerned about helping a few outsiders maintain and take care of the Tong family, and I don't know how comfortable my life is.

For such a situation, Shinji Maki is simply mad. He has not been beaten by society, it is impossible for him to be so submissive, he must resist, he just has to wait for an opportunity, he wants to fight for a breath, not to prove how great he is, but what he has lost must be taken back!

Then a few years ago, he was broken by his own hands because he was too jumpy, and he was taken out of the country directly, and he was never able to come back.

"Only those who have never experienced war will yearn for war." Maki Tsuruno knows this truth too well, he doesn't feel sad at all for what happened to the old bug, but is overjoyed that the clouds and curses that have been hanging over the head of the Maki family have finally dissipated, and there is unspeakable sadness and sorrow.

His bastard son didn't know anything at all, how much blood and tears the generations of the Jian Tong family had paid for hundreds of years, and how many people's flesh and blood that old worm had fed on, and he had survived for five generations......

Therefore, Tsuruno felt that instead of waiting until the witch completely lost his patience, it was better to be decisive and ruthless to give him an unforgettable lesson, and it was much better to break his leg than to lose his life.

So that's it –

There really isn't anyone who knows the details of the Tong family, but I just think that Sakura is the only eldest lady of this family. Sakura herself has never said it, she has long forgotten the existence of Shinji Makiri, and the brother in her mouth naturally can't refer to that guy.

"That's ......"

Ayako blinked and nodded as if she didn't understand.

It doesn't seem to be his own brother, but this is also a matter of course, after all, he has never heard Tosaka talk about this, and if this is the case, the Tosaka family will not be reduced to what it is now. But in this case, there are even more suspicious places.

Looking the purple-haired girl up and down, she felt that she understood, and she didn't know what her brain had made up, and her expression was a little weird.

"It's already here, Sister Meifu, let's hurry up......"

Sakura was also flustered by the strange eyes of the beautiful Ayako, and it happened that the Western-style building was in front of her, and she hurriedly spoke, changing the topic to attract the attention of the other party.

I always feel like I've been seen through my thoughts, and I'm really embarrassed, so in order to prevent this senior from continuing to ask some questions that make her shy, I can only do this.

"Oh, it's here......" Mitsuka Ayako inexplicably regretted a little, why did she arrive so soon, and the time was still early.

She looked up, just in time to see a familiar figure swaying from the western-style pavilion, as if it was listless coming out of it, and hurriedly raised her hand high and greeted: "Tosaka!" Tosaka! Here and here......"

After shouting several times in a row, Rin Tosaka seemed to react, looked over to this side, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

She suddenly lifted her spirits and walked over quickly: "Beauty! Cherry! How did you guys get here? ”

In this cold world, people's hearts are cold and ruthless, and even the servants they summoned can't be trusted, only their own sister can bring warmth to themselves, and now Sakura actually took the initiative to come and see herself......

However, she also knew that her sister was still a little estranged from her, so although she was very happy in her heart, she still restrained herself very much, and took care of the distance she had to deal with, lest Sakura just come over and be frightened away by her overly urgent performance.

"Why are we here?" Being asked by Rin Tosaka first, and all the questions were blocked in her mouth, Mitsuki Ayako felt a little headache, and sighed after reacting, "You haven't been to school today, and you haven't made a phone call to ask for leave, Sakura and I are really worried about your ......"

"Huh? Didn't I call to ask for leave? ”

Rin Tosaka was stunned for a moment.

“……”

“……”

Ayako didn't want to speak, and Sakura smiled a little reluctantly, turning her head to look in the other direction on the street.

Rin Tosaka finally remembered how she had spent the whole day in a mess, she silently lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, and moaned weakly and said, "Woo, careless...... It's all that guy's fault, I'm going to be dizzy with him at the end of the day......"

When I woke up early in the morning, I still remember asking for leave from school, but at the end of the day, I didn't do anything.

I won't talk about this.

Recalling the blows he suffered one after another during the day, all kinds of endless situations, Rin Tosaka instantly surged with qi and blood, and there was a sense of suffocation that he was about to lose his mind. She finally knew why no one survived the four battles ten years ago, it turned out that the servants were such bad demons!

"Him?!" ×2

In an instant, the eyes of both Mizuku Ayako and Sakura Maki suddenly sharpened!

"Huh? No, it's not, I mean, I mean......" Rin Tosaka came back to her senses and hurriedly waved her hand, but she was getting more and more anxious, and the more anxious she was, the more she didn't know what to say, and the eyes of the two people on the other side pierced her in a panic.

And I don't know why.,It's obviously the same sharp gaze.,But it seems that the eyes of Mi and Sakura are absolutely different in nature.,It's just pure curiosity and the nature of inquiry.,And the latter's gaze seems to be more aggressive.,There's even an inexplicable hostility.。

Of course, Rin Tosaka didn't think deeply, but immediately judged that it was his own delusion! After all, how is it possible, Sakura has no reason to be hostile to herself because of this kind of thing, even if she really knows the inside story, she will only be the same enemy as her sister!

"Say! I'm listening, what's going on with him......" Mika Ayako was angry and funny, in vain she was so worried about this friend, it turned out to be like this, "It looks like you've found it Tosaka, so it's me who lost, I'm really unwilling." ”

"W-What! That's not the case at all! Rin Tosaka was angry and annoyed, and yelled loudly with a red face, expressing a strong denial of this.

"I'm sorry, Sister Mei! Tosaka-senpai! What the hell are you talking about! Sakura felt more and more uncomfortable, looked at the two of them very seriously, and asked loudly.

"Haha, in fact, there is nothing ......" Mika Ayako remembered that Sakura was still next to her, and suddenly became a little embarrassed, after all, it is an agreement that children will not make now, that is, when you talk to Tosaka, you will take it for granted, but it is too embarrassing to say this kind of thing to others.

"Sister Meipu! Please answer my question! Sakura raised her voice.

“……”

“……”

It's probably never seen that the well-behaved and cute Wen Jing schoolgirl burst out at this moment with such a powerful momentum, Mitsuki Ayako and Rin Tosaka lost their voices at the same time, feeling like they were being targeted by a predator at the top of the food chain.

"It's、Actually, that's it.,I、I'm ...... with Tosaka," Mika Ayako followed her heart and stammered to explain.

The two of them are indeed very good friends, but they belong to the kind of relationship that will not have friendship if they don't compete with each other everywhere, so whether it's studying or attending, competition is needed everywhere, and even the kind of thing that has a boyfriend before the third grade can be used for competition.

The losing side has to obey the winning side, just like this thing to really decide who is the eldest sister and who is the younger sister.

"Ahh That's not the case at all! ”

Rin Tosaka shouted with a flushed face, interrupting her friend's heartfelt actions, although she was also frightened by Sakura's terrifying momentum just now, but it was just a moment, in her heart Sakura has always been her sister, so naturally she recovered immediately.

"Hehehehe, it's so easy to find two, and the master of this Holy Grail War doesn't seem to be very good......"

At this time, the laughter like a silver bell sounded.

At the end of the deserted, deserted street, an angel-like figure with silver hair and red eyes appeared dressed in a purple dress suitable for winter, looking simple and innocent.

She is completely absent from two months ago, facing the embarrassment and weakness of the wolves in the deep mountains, her eyes only reveal a cruel meaning of innocence, seemingly innocent, but in fact she ruthlessly looked at the three girls in front of the gate of the mansion in front of her.

Then, because her lolita voice is too small, and the servant is currently in a state of invisibility of the spirit, it didn't attract anyone's attention-

"What the hell is going on here?!" Sakura stared at her sister menacingly and asked loudly.

"yes, yes, what the hell is going on?" Mitsuka Ayako echoed on the side, although she didn't know what was wrong with Sakura, but it looked like she couldn't be provoked, so let's stand on her side and put pressure on my sister!

“……”

“……”

"Well, that, you two are the masters of this Holy Grail War......"

The body and appearance are stuck in the age of nine, and the silver-haired big Lori called out again, trying to attract the attention of the three people on the other side to herself.

What the hell is going on with these three people!

"What is there to say! I don't even know what you're talking about! "Rin Tosaka is also going crazy, what the hell is going on with these two people, are they interrogating themselves as prisoners!

"Sister Tosaka, don't pretend to be stupid! Who is that "he" you just said! The purple-haired girl asked very sternly, "What does it have to do with you, you didn't go to school during the day, what did you do at home?" ”

"I, I...... This, this has nothing to do with Sakura, right? I don't need to explain it to you......" Rin Tosaka said in a cold sweat, but still with a tough attitude.

At this time, to say that he just made a slip of the tongue, and that there is no "he" at all, is inevitably a bit insulting to people's IQ, and there is a sense that there is no silver three hundred taels here.

She felt that she had seen through Sakura's true thoughts, and thought that the other party had guessed that she had summoned the Servant in order to participate in the Holy Grail War, and that she was so worried about herself that she would behave so abnormally.

But although I'm very touched by this, Sakura really shouldn't be involved, and it's good that my sister should take responsibility for things like the Holy Grail War! Warning himself over and over again in his mind, Rin Tosaka was firm in his beliefs and his attitude became tougher.

And yet—

“…… Is that so? The purple-haired girl's pupils instantly lost their highlights.

Nothing to do with yourself? Don't need to explain to yourself? Looks like my sister already knows what she's here for......

So her current statement, does she have to rob herself? Why?

“……”

“……”

“…… You, you're too much, I'm ...... I, I, I, I will never forgive you......"

At this time, the silver-haired big Lori at the end of the street bit her lip tightly in the cold wind, and she was so angry that she was shaking with anger that she felt that the whole person was not good.
