"..."
Feeling awkward with every conversation, Rin Tohsaka had to stop and think about what topics she should bring up.
But what the girl didn't expect was that her younger sister, Sakura Tohsaka, also had questions to ask her.
Sakura Tohsaka stopped.
With her back to the moonlight, the young girl who had returned to her hometown was bathed in pure white light.
But her eyes were now emitting bursts of blue light—particles that only form when magic is activated.
"Sister, please answer a question for me."
"That girl named Arcadia—"
"Is he your servant?"

As an excellent magician, Rin Tohsaka quickly sensed that her younger sister was radiating magical power.
She quickly spoke up to stop her:
"Sakura, what are you doing?!"
"Let's talk this out!"
"But I'm speaking properly right now."
Sakura Tohsaka tilted her head slightly.
Although her tone still sounded as gentle as usual, there was a different feeling at this moment, an indescribable sense of indifference.
"Sister, do you think I'm not talking to you properly right now?"
"..."
Rin Tohsaka was speechless for a moment.
Sakura Tohsaka showed no sign of giving up.
She quickly followed up with, "Sister, you haven't answered my question yet."
"That girl named Arcadia... is she really your Servant?"
"Why...why are you suddenly asking this kind of question?" Rin Tohsaka turned her face away somewhat guiltily.
"because--"
Sakura Tohsaka took a few steps and finally came directly to her older sister.
Her hand was slowly enveloped in blue light—a magic trick she had learned from her teacher, Vivian.
“Acadia looks really strange.”
"And she kept staring at Mr. Ian—which was even stranger."
"If she wasn't a Servant summoned by my sister, I don't think there's any way to explain this sense of disharmony."
Although Sakura Tohsaka's tone was gentle throughout.
But Rin Tohsaka felt uncomfortable all over – after all, she knew that the other party was essentially expressing their inner dissatisfaction to her.
Left with no other choice, the girl could only nod and admit it.
"Okay, Sakura, things are just as you thought."
“Arcadia…is indeed my servant.”
"..."
Sakura Tohsaka's pupils widened slightly.
It was clear that even though she had prepared herself mentally, she was still shocked when she found out.
"When did this happen?"
"Where did you summon her?"
Now that the conversation had begun, Rin Tohsaka stopped trying to hide anything.
She answered directly, "About what happened at school today... I only summoned it a short while ago!"
"What class is it?" Sakura Tohsaka pressed.
“Archer.” Rin Tohsaka didn’t hide it.
"..."
The blue light on Sakura Tohsaka's hand disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion hidden in her eyes.
"elder sister."
"You...you didn't say you were going to participate in the Holy Grail War, did you?"
"Yes, I didn't say that."
Rin Tohsaka felt a little guilty—after all, she had indeed kept it a secret from her sister for a long time.
However, she quickly found an excuse for herself.
"Sakura—"
"You should know that our father's lifelong wish was to participate in the Holy Grail War, right?"
"As the eldest daughter of the Tohsaka family, it is only natural for me to participate in the Holy Grail War."
"..."
Rin Tohsaka's words inadvertently struck a nerve with Sakura Tohsaka.
She looked at her older sister, who bore a striking resemblance to her, and sneered.
"Yes."
“You are the eldest daughter of the Tohsaka family... while I am just an outsider sent to the Edelfelt family.”
"My participation in the Holy Grail War does not mean that the Tohsaka family also participated."
"so--"
"You have to join in, right?"
Hearing Sakura Tohsaka's self-deprecating words, Rin Tohsaka quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing.
She shouldn't have emphasized that she was "the eldest daughter of the Tohsaka family" in front of Sakura Tohsaka.
"Sakura, listen to me!"
"It's not what you think!"
"But the facts are right here." Sakura Tohsaka looked at her sister and felt a chill run down her spine.
"From beginning to end, you never considered me a member of the Tohsaka family, did you?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka's face tightened.
Her patience reached its limit at this point.
A few seconds later, Rin Tohsaka whispered, "So... you think it's all my fault?"
"What did you say?" Sakura Tohsaka looked at her older sister.
"I said!" Rin Tohsaka shouted anxiously, "Do you really think this is my problem?!"
"Did I suggest becoming the eldest daughter, or did I ask Mom and Dad to send you away?!"
"Even though I've been trying so hard to help you, you still treat me like an outsider!"
"What did I do wrong to deserve this kind of temper of yours?!"
After saying these words, Rin Tohsaka probably realized that her words were too radical.
She turned her head away, avoiding her sister's gaze.
"You actually said it after all."
A bitter smile, as if she had seen through reality, appeared on Sakura Tohsaka's face.
"Rin Tohsaka, you never really considered me your sister from the beginning, did you?"
Calling your older sister by her first name is very impolite and goes against the Tohsaka family's ancestral precepts.
Rin Tohsaka's temper flared up immediately.
"So—?" She put her hands on her hips.
"Have you ever considered me your older sister?"
"If that were the case... you shouldn't be talking to me like this right now, should you?"
"..."
"..."
The two, each sticking to their own version of events, stared at each other, creating an atmosphere that suddenly became extremely cold.
“I see.” Sakura Tohsaka broke the silence first.
"I understand."
"Since that's what you think, sister—"
"Then I have no choice but to play along."
The girl, returning to her hometown, looked at her nominal older sister with eyes as cold as if she were a stranger.
"Once the Holy Grail War officially begins, I will absolutely not hold back."
"of course."
"Sister, you don't need to hold back."
"Well, that's it."
