After unlocking all CGs, a Type-Moon girlfriend comes knocking.

This extremely absurd thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and her fingers unconsciously grasped the bone china cup - just like her tense nerves at this moment.

After all, Sakura's attitude towards Alvin has indeed been a bit too ambiguous recently.

If this isn't a dream...

Toosaka Rin subconsciously looked up in the direction of the Matou family.

The wind and snow were howling outside the window, and the dead branches in the courtyard left messy marks on the glass.

"Why haven't you come back yet..."

……

Late at night in Fuyuki, the streets were already covered with a thick layer of snow, and the street lights on both sides seemed particularly lonely.

Whether in the new city or the old city, few people would go out late at night in early winter.

——Except for the Masters and Servants who participated in the Holy Grail War.

Alvin never thought that he was just out investigating something, but he would be left in the room by Sakura Matou in this way.

"Well, let me ask a question that I'm quite curious about first—"

Matou Sakura sat sideways on the floor, holding a cup of hot water in both hands. She quickly looked up at the young man in front of her and said softly, "Senior, why are you coming to the Matou family so late? Did something important happen?"

Matou Sakura looked quite calm, as if she had already forgotten all the awkwardness that had just happened... Or perhaps, it was precisely to ease the awkwardness and change the subject that she went straight to the point.

"It's a long story..."

Alvin also tacitly skipped over what had just happened, coughed lightly, and gave a brief account of what had happened near Yuanzang Mountain not long ago.

After hearing the last part, Matou Sakura's face showed a thoughtful expression, and she whispered, "In other words, Senior suspected Rider, or that the person who destroyed the Greater Holy Grail was related to the Crest Worms, so he came here to investigate in the middle of the night?"

"If I have to say it, that's it..."

Alvin nodded silently, and then unconsciously looked at the girl in front of him twice more.

Soon, he felt a little more regretful.

Sakura has really grown up... in every way.

If the Sakura Matou in the past had encountered such an embarrassing situation as tonight, she would probably have been so shy that she covered her face and dared not see anyone... But tonight, she handled this matter very maturely and calmly, and even Alvin couldn't help but admire her.

"So... did you find anything suspicious?"

At this moment, Sakura Matou's voice brought Alvin back to reality again.

Alvin opened his mouth, but ultimately shook his head. "I haven't noticed anything suspicious yet... After all, I didn't come to the Matou residence just to investigate what happened tonight."

"if not?"

Matou Sakura tilted her head in confusion.

Alvin stared into Matou Sakura's eyes and said seriously, "Rin and I are worried about you, so we came to check on you."

This is not a complete excuse. Alvin is indeed a little worried about Sakura Matou being alone, especially during the Holy Grail War, when the Master is more likely to be attacked when he is alone.

Matou Sakura was stunned for a moment, then her eyes softened a bit, and she said softly, "Don't worry, senior. I'm different now... Even if I'm alone, there won't be any problems."

Yes... She is completely different now than she was in the past. Most of them, whether they are Masters or Servants, are no match for her.

And in just a while, she will become the 'strongest', even leaving her sister far behind.

"correct--"

Alvin secretly observed the girl in front of him and suddenly asked, "Where's your Servant? You should have summoned a Heroic Spirit by now, so why haven't you seen him yet?"

Matou Sakura suddenly came back to her senses, her expression a little unnatural. She gently turned her face away and said, "It's not convenient for her to come out right now... If there's a chance in the future, I'll let you meet her."

"Will you be disappointed then?"

she asked suddenly.

"Everyone has their secrets, even if you want to keep them secret."

Alvin smiled and said, "As long as it's not a bad thing."

When he said this, the corner of his eye inadvertently glanced at the door.

Although the other party tried to hide his aura, Alvin's keen perception still detected his presence.

Apparently, this must be the Servant that Sakura summoned...

Although I'm a little curious about the Servant summoned by Matou Sakura, since she wants to keep it a secret for the time being, I should respect her...

After the two chatted for a while, Alvin stood up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he hesitated and stopped: "You have to be careful in the next few days... If it really doesn't work, move to Lin's house."

"Okay...I'll think about it."

After finishing her words, Matou Sakura saw Alvin about to leave the room and suddenly called out to him:

"Oh, by the way, Senior—"

Looking at the boy who stopped, the girl hesitated for a moment and said, "If one day I become a bad boy...will you still like me?"

"This assumption was not valid from the beginning, was it?"

Alvin shook his head and laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the girl continue: "But I want to know the answer."

Alvin was stunned and subconsciously looked at the girl twice.

The initial shyness in her eyes had long since faded away, and she stared at him with great seriousness.

"It looks like you are considering this matter seriously?"

Alvin's smile faded a little. He pondered for a moment and walked up to Sakura Matou.

Then, with the girl's incredible expression, he put an arm around her waist and embraced her soft and attractive body.

A warm breath came over her in an instant, and the incomparable feeling of security made Matou Sakura subconsciously close her eyes and immerse herself in it involuntarily.

Alvin looked down at the girl in his arms, his face gentle as he said, "Although I still think the assumption is not true, but if Sakura really turns into a bad kid... I will personally pull you out of the quagmire."

Sakura Matou was stunned for a moment, her fingertips unconsciously digging into the fabric of Alvin's back, as if she wanted to engrave these words into her bones.

The snowflakes falling outside the window were dyed dim by the street lights. Until Alvin left, Sakura Matou still had her eyes closed, as if she was still immersed in the warm atmosphere just now.

At this moment, in the empty room, a slender figure quietly gathered beside Sakura Matou.

She stared at the girl quietly, her voice cold, crisp and pleasant.

"He's gone."

Matou Sakura hummed softly: "It's so late and he's still going out. My sister will probably be worried about him. I should go back early."

"He is my sister's Servant, after all."

Rider glanced at the girl silently and said in a low voice, "Someone entered the insect warehouse tonight... I think it was most likely Assassin."

"I know."

Matou Sakura's voice was still extremely gentle.

Rider was stunned for a moment and said: "If that's the case, why didn't you leave him behind just now—"

"With my current strength, even if I use the rules of the Holy Grail, it would be difficult to keep you here."

Matou Sakura tilted her head slightly and looked at the woman beside her: "The only person who can truly command him...from the beginning to the end, is my sister."

Rider hesitated and said, "He should have discovered something."

"But he still chose not to ask."

Sakura Matou turned her head slightly to look at the woman beside her, and her usually bright purple eyes seemed to have become much deeper.

"Why do you think that is, Rider?"

Rider fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

"Because he decided to trust me."

Sakura Matou gave a self-deprecating smile, slowly stretched out her right hand and spread out her palm.

A creature that had mutated into a 'lust worm' quietly spread its wings in her palm.

Nourishes...

A sound like electricity echoed in the room.

For a moment, Sakura Matou's loose hair seemed to be painted in the brilliant colors of the starry night.

She looked in the direction where Alvin left, and a gentle curve quickly appeared at the corner of her lips.

"But he shouldn't have believed me."

——Although even if Alvin exposed her tonight, it would be too late.

In the insect warehouse, more and more insect eggs were beating violently like a heart.

Then, tens of thousands of 'desire bugs' quietly hatched...

……

Late at night, the lights in every household have been turned off, but the lights in the Tohsaka family mansion are still brightly lit.

The fire in the living room was roaring, bringing some warmth to the cold night.

Toosaka Rin lay on the sofa, sleeping with her eyes closed.

She had been waiting in the mansion for nearly two hours.

As if because of uneasiness, even in her dream, the girl still frowned and looked a little heavy-hearted.

At this moment, in the originally quiet living room, a figure appeared quietly beside the sofa like a ghost.

Alvin spotted the sleeping girl at a glance. He stepped forward and gently patted Rin Tohsaka's shoulder, saying softly, "Rin..."

Toosaka Rin frowned and slowly opened her eyes, and a handsome young man's face appeared vaguely in front of her.

She rubbed her eyes and said dazedly, "You're back... How's the situation? Any clues?"

Alvin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head gently: "I haven't found any clues about Rider's Master yet..."

If Toosaka Rin was fully awake at this moment, she would probably be able to tell at a glance that something was wrong with Alvin's expression, but her mind was still hazy at the moment, and she only said in a slightly sleepy tone, "It's okay, we can take our time with the investigation."
