Chapter 112: Sisters (II)
"Mom, how's she doing?" It wasn't until lunch was taken down and the waiter had replaced a tablecloth and served two desserts again that Rinna's embarrassment caused by Sakura's unintentional actions had gradually subsided, and if it weren't for the fact that the name of the Toban family prevented her from leaving the table in any case, she would have run away long ago.
And it was only at this time that the two sisters, who had been reunited after a long absence, really had the opportunity to sit together and talk about some of the issues that are currently of most concern. The expression on Sakura's face softened as she took a sip of the cup filled with the aroma of herbal tea, feeling the warm tea casing down her throat and into her stomach.
"Mom?" On the contrary, Aoi Rin's face was not so pretty, and she gently tapped the rim of the cup with the spoon she used to stir the coffee, making a crisp sound, so that she could organize the words she was going to respond more clearly...... As the next head of the Yuanban family, she is actually not willing to tell others about her mother's recent situation at all, but Sakura is not an outsider as Aoi's youngest daughter, she has the right to know the truth...... Even if that truth isn't rosy at all.
"That...... How so? But even if she was mentally prepared, when she really wanted to say it, she found that she didn't know what to say for a while, after all, ...... In Rin's heart, the reason why Aoi did this was purely because of herself, whether to say it was guilt or even a deeper sense of guilt, in short, she couldn't open her mouth.
"Mom, what's wrong with her?" Rin's hesitation made Sakura's heart suddenly occupied by uneasiness, and the mood that had been faint became serious because of this, but she didn't know that such seriousness could be regarded as forcing Rin into a corner, so she could only explain Aoi's current situation and situation anyway.
"Mom, she's actually fine, it's just ......" In order to appease Sakura, Rin rarely used a soft tone, although this did not relieve her hesitation, "Na Sakura, although you have left in the past few years, you should know a little more about the situation of the Yuanban family." After my father left, the family's business deteriorated, and in the end, in order to support the family, she had to show her head outside, but you also know that her mother is not suitable for this kind of work at all, so in the end she still has to rely on the man of the Maki family......"
As soon as the three words of the Tong family were mentioned, Rin's tone couldn't help but have a little more hatred, it seemed that it was really as Ye Yu said...... The things that this man put into the sky for the night of the night, in the end, all he reaped was resentment.
"The Kirito family...... Uncle Yanye? Thinking back to her childhood, especially in the last Holy Grail War, Yan Ye's memory of her protection Sakura is still fresh, so she can't understand the emotion in Rin's tone at all.
"You still call him that?!" Sakura's salutation didn't know which nerve it touched Rin, her voice rose several degrees with the annoyance, until the surrounding guests cast curious and dissatisfied glances at her, she calmed down suddenly, and then turned her head and thought about it, but found that she had no room to blame Sakura at all, and now she just lowered her head and kept fiddling with the spoon in the coffee cup with her fingers to relieve her mood.
"Is something going on between you?" Sakura had to guess so far, otherwise it would be difficult to explain all this.
"Yes! That's right! Finally angered by Sakura's questioning, the girl who has been driven crazy by the pressure of the Fuxing Yuanban family all these years seems to have finally found a suitable outlet, "But what do you know about escaping the city and enjoying these luxuries every day?"
Can you understand what kind of price a meal like today's will cost the current Yuanban family? The Yuanban family has declined, but it still needs to maintain the glorious lintel of the three families, which alone is exhausting, but in addition to this, I have to bear the cost of learning magic, do you know how much she paid for these mothers? Is that man from the Jian Tong family a good person, if it weren't for his mother, she paid so much price, he would be so kind to help us? So could you please not mention him in front of me! ”
A barrage of questions poured out at Sakura with Rin's anger over the years, as if he would be half as relieved if he shared the pain with her...... However, even in the face of such a situation, Sakura still sat there very calmly, and responded with a touch of sadness
"Sister, you...... Always. You have always thought that your situation is the worst, and although you have been maintaining your strong side, you have always believed in your heart that it is easier for others to live than you are. Can...... Why, when you face me, you push everything you think in your heart to me, and you don't even maintain your strength on the surface? Just because I'm your sister......"
"No, I ......" subconsciously wanted to refute, but only halfway through the words, Rin found that it was difficult to defend himself at all, thinking about the scene when the two last met, how similar they were then to now...... For a while, the atmosphere that was originally called good suddenly became dull.
"I don't really know what Mom's efforts are, but what she does is for you and not for me, isn't it? So before accusing me, it's better to ask your sister to reflect on your own good ...... Are you qualified to inherit the name of the Yuanban family today? Whether it's the responsibility of being the head of a family or the strength of being a magician. ”
It is impossible to say that there is no anger, but after getting along with Ye Yu for so long, Sakura also understands deeply that it is just that anger is of no use at all, on the contrary, it is the most correct way not to be carried away by anger and keep your sanity at all times.
"You don't have to worry about my affairs...... said this, but Rin was really hard to mention, what confidence did she have at all, after all, she was still deficient, this is a fact.
"Yes, I really don't have the qualifications to ask you about family affairs after leaving the Yuanban family." Without hesitation, he admitted the other party's statement, which surprised Rin, "But from a magician's point of view...... Let me experience the power of the Misan, and I'm interested in seeing how far my sister, who was once pinned on by my father, can go......
The resentment that was abandoned by Shichen has been hidden in Sakura's heart at the beginning, and this moment is finally brought up again because of Rin's attitude. At the same time, she lifted her cuffs to expose the three bright red spells to the air, and Rin changed her attitude at almost the same moment when she saw the spells that represented the Holy Grail War's qualifications.
If it used to be a family affair between sisters, now it has risen to a conversation between two magicians...... And for a creature like a magician, blood ties don't mean anything at all...... (To be continued.) )
