The tall young man pulled gently, and the heavy curtains were slowly pulled open with the grinding of the rollers, and the sky outside the window was clouded, and the early morning air poured into the bedroom along the open window.

The light illuminates the bedroom, which is decorated in warm tones, and in the center of the bedroom is a large bed large enough for four or five people, and a woman is sleeping soundly.

The long purple hair, which is as thick as satin, is scattered on the bed into a large purple net, and the face is as delicate and smooth as ceramics without a single blemish, and the perfect proportions give a puppet-like sense of unreality, like a craftsman's elaborate work of art sculpture.

"Hmm......"

The cold wind of the winter morning blew into the bedroom, and the sleeping puppet frowned, muttered a few words indistinctly, and subconsciously wrapped the quilt wrapped around his body more tightly.

A slender hand gently pushed the doll's shoulder through the quilt:

"Sakura-chan, Sakura-chan?"

The doll's eyelashes moved slightly, and the eyelids slowly opened after a few vibrations, revealing a pair of seductive dark purple pupils.

"It's so cold......"

Feeling the cold air in the bedroom, the doll's face is huddled together, and the word "unhappy" is written all over the face.

The young man who was about to wake up the puppet on the bed saw her so lazy appearance, so he had to shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly.

I'm afraid I would be disillusioned if those young talents of Fuyuki City and the Clock Tower knew that their dream girl, the current head of the Maki family, who had maintained a dignified and ladylike appearance at all times, and that Sakura Makiri, who was nicknamed "The Violet of the Clock Tower", was secretly like this.

"Today is the day of the magic family gathering in the surrounding area, and as one of the protagonists of the banquet, you can't be late."

The man tried to convince the beauty who was lying on the bed with realistic reasons, but it was clear that this did not work.

After a moment of hesitation, the man finally relented, and he walked out of the bedroom and closed the bedroom door by the way:

"Okay, just returned to Fuyuki from the clock tower in England, and the jet lag hasn't been reversed yet, Sakura-chan, you can sleep a little longer. But when I come back, I won't be allowed to stay in bed again! ”

The man walked out of the bedroom and passed by the study on the way to the dining room, and a thin middle-aged man in a wheelchair teased:

"How about it, Zhao Yun, Jian Tong Sakura still hasn't gotten up?"

"Yes, Mr. Kenneth." Facing the ridicule of the middle-aged man, the young man known as Zhao Yun sighed helplessly.

"Didn't you just lift the quilt and forcibly pull her up when you encountered this situation before? Why can't I do anything about her now?"

Zhao Yun shrugged helplessly:

"Don't mention it, when this girl went to school in the clock tower, I don't know who she learned the habit of sleeping from, and she didn't wear anything when she slept at night. Just lift the quilt and ...... How can I say that I am already an adult, even as an elder, after all, there is still a difference between men and women. There's no way to force her up now. ”

Then again, how is Miss Sora's physical condition? It's been almost four months now, right? ”

Kenneth was in a special physical condition, and the burning of the magic circuit had an impact on his bodily functions, and although he and Sola were married early due to the family marriage, it took nearly twenty years of marriage to finally get an heir. Both the Ermelo and Sofia families are very concerned about the fetus in Sora's womb, after all, it is the blood of Kenneth, a former prodigy. Descendants with a high talent for magic may appear.

"My physical condition has basically stabilized. The family of magicians is very experienced in this area, and the Ermelo family even has a special magic trick to reduce pregnancy reactions. In another half year or so, you should be able to see the birth of the child. Unfortunately, you can't see him born. Otherwise, I will let you take care of our children. ”

Kenneth smiled and asked:

"Do you want to leave today?"

"Well, I've fulfilled my promise with Yanye, it's time to leave."

"Sakura will be very sad. You are her most important elder. is both a father and a mother, even Aoi Tosaka, who is her biological mother, is not so attentive to you. ”

"After all, it's been to the Makiri family, and although Miss Aoi still has feelings for Sakura, she is no longer a mother in name. And she is the mistress of the Demon Dao family, and she is tied to whatever she wants. ”

Kenneth nodded, and after a long pause let out a long breath:

"Haven't told Sakura that you're leaving?"

"No, there will be a party in the neighborhood today. In the meantime, I just left on my own. The contract I signed with Sakura twenty years ago was a loose form of unilateral breaking, and as long as I was subjectively willing to go, the contract would be automatically terminated. ”

"Sakura-chan always thought that you would be with her for the rest of her life, and I don't know how long it will be sad after that."

"Long pain is better than short pain. I hadn't felt it before, maybe because I had been in contact for too long, and I found that Sakura might have blurred the line between family and love, and although we were called Heroic Spirits, we were just some capable ghosts from a certain point of view, and it wouldn't do her any good to go on like this. It's time for me to return to Valhalla. ”

"Pedaling, Pedaling, Pedaling......"

A servant trotted all the way to the two of them:

"Chief, the venue for the banquet has been arranged, please move to the auditorium and take a look."

"Got it." Zhao Yun nodded to the servant who reported to the work, and then said to Kenneth: "Then Mr. Kenneth, let's talk about it here, I'll go and set up the venue first." ”

"Hmm."

Looking at Zhao Yun's resolute appearance, Kenneth sighed.

"There is no feast in the world......"

…………………………

The private magic family gatherings held at the Maki family residence were bustling with activity.

Representatives of the Magic Family walked around the banquet to communicate. In the midst of the staggering, a lot of cooperation and transactions began to take shape.

And at this cocktail party, the well-deserved stars are naturally the two young female magicians who have obtained the "sacrifice seat" during their studies in the clock tower - Sakura Makiri, the current head of the Maki family, and Rin Tosaka, the current head of the Tosaka family.

"The head of the family between the two of them has only been in their two decades, and they have already achieved such achievements in magic, and even the magicians of the clock tower at the headquarters of the Magic Association look at them differently, and they are really models for the Far Eastern magic family such as us. Compared to the two, the dog is really ......"

In the face of the praise of the elderly magician who is already over half a hundred years old, Sakura Maki said modestly:

"Seniors, you have a good reputation, our so-called achievements are just a little luck and coincidence, not something worth writing about, and it is still too far from the magicians of the "pawn". I need to keep working hard. ”

"If only our sons could be so promising, and the two heads of the family are not only powerful magicians, but also beautiful and beautiful. The lucky one who can marry two in the future must have saved the world in his last life, right? You say, don't you? ”

"No, no, no, we're still young, and we haven't considered this for the time being......"

Sakura and Rin Tosaka's excellent magical talent and noble family background are undoubtedly the best choice for marriage in the eyes of some demon families. If you can marry into the family, you can not only get excellent genes, but also have the possibility of getting involved in the other family's industry.

For this slightly tentative compliment, Rin Tosaka smiled and shirked a few words. After glancing at her sister Kirizakura, she tacitly changed the topic.

On the other side of the party, Tsuruno Makiri, Shinji Makiri, a father and son who are in charge of the mundane affairs and family business of the Maki family, are negotiating business affairs with other families. In the space of 20 years, the business system established by Zhao Yun at the beginning has grown into a behemoth. As one of the "landlords" in the Demon Dao family of the island country, there is also an endless stream of guests who come to the Tong family to seek business cooperation.

At tonight's party, with the efforts of the father and son, the family has reached a cooperation intention with the four companies related to the Demon Dao family, and the specific details will be discussed in detail again in the next few days.

"Whew~ I'm so tired. Sakura-chan, how did you manage to keep a ladylike smirk for so long? ”

Taking advantage of the time to go to the bathroom to tidy up her makeup, Rin Tosaka complained to Sakura Makiri.

"Sister, you're exaggerating. And how did a lady's smile become a smirk? ”

"What are you pretending? Obviously I never laugh so disgustingly. ”

"I've always been a lady, I don't believe you asked the classmates of the clock tower." Dignified lady' is the unanimous evaluation of me by boys and girls. It's like my sister getting into trouble every day and looking for someone to fight. She was also nicknamed the female orangutan......"

"Hey! Sakura, you haven't been on the house for three days, have you? Dare to tease me with a nickname, I can't cure you today, I'm not your sister! Look at the moves! ”

In a fit of rage, Rin Tosaka stretched out her claws to the tickling flesh on Sakura's waist, a trick that was specifically aimed at Sakura Makiri, and had been tried and tested repeatedly.

"Hahaha...... Sister, I was wrong...... Hahaha......"

Rin Tosaka's tickling tactics once again achieved results, and Sakura Maki laughed and hurriedly begged for mercy. A well-developed part shook in front of Rin's eyes, emphasizing his presence.

The blue-black evening dress was worn on the body of the Maki Sakura, outlining the graceful curves of a mature woman, Rin Tosaka looked down at herself, the crimson dress matched her black hair color very well, but when she looked up at the Sakura Makiri, she secretly compared, and a woman's frustration involuntarily came to her heart. Driven by this frustration, Rin Tosaka's hand moved harder.

"Hahahaha...... Sister, I'm not already ...... Hahaha......"

At the end of the fight between the sisters, Sakura used the dessert made by Zhao Yun as an "apology", and finally escaped from Rin Tosaka's clutches.

"I think sister, you're just greedy." Sakura gasped and calmed her breath and rolled her eyes at her sister Sakura.

Rin Tosaka stuck out her tongue and turned behind Sakura Maki to help her sort out her dress and decorations that had been messed up in the fight just now.

"But since we returned to Fuyuki, it seems that we haven't tasted Uncle Zhao's small cake for a long time, or we will ...... tonight."

Sakura Maki suddenly stopped talking.

"Sakura-chan, what's wrong?"

Sensing the strangeness of Sakura Makiri, Rin Tosaka hurriedly asked.

With a solemn face, Sakura took off the black ribbon on her right hand.

After the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Zhao Yun made another contract with her, and the red stigma as proof of the contract was always on the back of her right hand, and Ma Tong Sakura usually covered it with gloves or ribbons.

And this time, after the ribbon was removed, the red stigma on the back of the hand disappeared without a trace.

"Sister! This...... This...... No way! I'm going to find him! ”

Facing the panicked Sakura Makiri, Rin Tosaka patted her cheek and said:

"I don't know what's going on, but I'll take care of you at the party, go quickly!"

Sakura nodded heavily and trotted out of the bathroom.

……………………

In the backyard of the castle of the Kiri's house, the long figure of a young man pulls out a long shadow in the moonlight.

"Wait!"

Sakura leaned against the corner of the wall, bending over and gasping for air.

The original gorgeous and close-fitting evening dress has now been creased by strenuous exercise, the long purple hair that is coiled up is scattered on the shoulders, the high heels have been thrown somewhere, and the soles of Chiguo's feet have been cut by the hard ground and stones.

Ma Kirizakura found that she was so trembling that she could barely speak, and the questions in her heart finally turned into a sentence:

"You...... Where to go? ”

Zhao Yun was a little surprised:

"Sakura-chan, how did you find me? By the way, Kenneth told you that I was leaving. ”

"Why? Aren't you happy to stay here? Is it because of me? If you hate me, I'll change it, I'll change it, I'll not be willful in the future, I'll listen to you, okay? Don't go...... Please......"

Before she finished speaking, she couldn't stop crying.

Seeing the crying Kirizakura, Zhao Yun pursed his lips.

Twenty years, from the age of five, watched her gradually grow from a child to an adult. Twenty years, how can there be no feelings?

Counting bits and pieces, he has lived for more than a hundred years, and he has also had a bland and not bland love, and he will not fail to understand the thoughts of Kirizakura.

Although he has been very careful in life, although he has always regarded himself as an elder, the feelings held in the heart of the child in front of him are obviously no longer attachment to elders, but immature love.

He knows very well that people are emotional animals, and love is an irrepressible impulse.

But he couldn't respond to the feelings. On the one hand, Sakura-chan's life is different from ordinary people, and although he tries to keep his children growing up in a healthy environment, the shadow of his childhood has affected Sakura's life after all.

If it weren't for her own intervention that changed the ending of the story, maybe the girl would have grown up like a normal girl and met a beautiful love.

From the bottom of his heart, he regards the girl as his daughter, of course he loves this child, but it is by no means a relationship between a man and a woman. What's more, this is a story that will not have an ending.

In his experience, it is not difficult to deceive other people's feelings. Of course, he can give her a good-looking relationship, but this deception is even more unfair to her.

The pain of parting will last for a while, but it will pass, and the life of being trapped by the feelings that you can't ask for can be painful for a lifetime.

He knew it was time for him to go.

But before leaving, he needed to say something:

Zhao Yun walked in front of Jian Tong Sakura and squatted down.

"Sakura-chan, you know. I stayed because of your Uncle Yanye's request. At that time, you were a child, and the situation of the Jian Tong family was very complicated, and your uncle was not worried about you alone, and hoped that I could take care of you. ”

"I've seen your recent state, you're going to treat me unguarded in the room, you're going to do little pranks you wouldn't have done, you're going to hold my arm...... You're emphasizing that you're no longer a child. But in my eyes, how can you become someone other than a child? ”

"If it goes on like this, it will only make you miserable, I don't want to ...... like this"

"But I don't care! Why are you making decisions for me? I'm just in love with someone, am I doing something wrong? ”

Sakura's roar was accompanied by a cry, "Let's go!" Go back to your Valhalla! A self-righteous guy like you, I hate it the most! ”

The man sighed softly, and finally lowered his raised hand.

When the girl looked up again, the familiar figure had disappeared into the moonlight of the castle, as if it had never been seen.
