Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

"Hey, what are you two doing?"

Fujimura Taiga couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to scold Red A: "Shirou, why have you become so dishonest? When you see your father whom you haven't seen in a long time, shouldn't you go up and hug him and have a good chat?"

"???"

Red A was stunned when he heard Fujimura Taiga call out his real name.

He looks so different now than when he was young that people who know him probably wouldn't recognize him at all.

"Alright, everyone, stop standing there and sit down first."

Irisviel laughed, and at the same time called up to the second floor, "Shirou, quickly take your sister back to sleep."

"Sigh, I'm not sleepy right now."

Seeing that she had been discovered, Ilya stopped hiding and ran downstairs to throw herself into Irisviel's arms and act cute.

Emiya Shirou naturally followed suit.

Upon seeing Shirou Emiya, Archer's eyes narrowed, and he forcefully suppressed his urge to attack.

However, his actions could not escape the notice of Kiritsugu Emiya, who had fought for most of his life.

Seeing that Archer was about to attack his son, Kiritsugu Emiya instinctively reached for a Command Spell to give the order, but at the same time he wondered if he had guessed wrong and that the person in front of him was not Shirou.

No future self would want to kill its past self.

Kiritsugu Emiya gave Irisviel a wink, signaling her to take Illya and her brother to bed, and the carefree Taiga was also taken along.

"Now it's just the two of us, can we have a proper talk?"

Kiritsugu Emiya looked at Archer and said with a serious expression.

Red A: "...I know how you found out who I am."

"You'll understand the answer to this question once you go through one step."

Kiritsugu Emiya is now wary of Archer, so naturally he won't tell him too much.

The only certainty is that Red A has already been summoned, so he will definitely be added to the group when the next Q&A session begins.

He'll understand everything by then.

Kiritsugu Emiya: "Archer, tell me, were you trying to attack Shirou just now?"

Red A: "...That's right."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Why?"

Red A: "...I just want to break this damn cycle."

"..."

Emiya Kiritsugu sensed a sense of vicissitude in Archer's tone.

"Can you tell me what you've been through? If you'd like."

"...Can."

Perhaps because he had been holding it in for too long, Red A finally found someone to confide in, and began to talk at length.

He was inexplicably drawn into the Fifth Holy Grail War, and together with Saber, destroyed the Holy Grail. He went to the Clock Tower to study with Rin Tohsaka, and after graduation, he went to the Middle East, becoming a freelance mage who used his power to fight for justice. Ten years later, he failed to stop the power plant's reactor core from going berserk, and agreed to a contract with the Counter Force to become its henchman, following in the footsteps of Kiritsugu Emiya. In the end, he was betrayed and died. After death, he became a Heroic Spirit, continuing the killing without any difference from his life, suffering endless torment in endless cycles of reincarnation.

After hearing this, Kiritsugu Emiya was completely stunned.

Aside from the first half of his life, wasn't his later life the same as Wuming's?

This made him suspect that the inhibitory force was behind it all.

Red A: "Now you understand why I wanted to kill my past self."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "If that's the case, you can give up, because your future in this world has already changed."

Looking at his father in front of him, Red A finally realized what was happening.

He was still a bit dizzy from everything happening so fast, and that's when he noticed the most important thing.

Red A: "Father, is it 1994 now?"

Kiritsugu Emiya: "No, it was 2004."

"!!!"

Red A stammered, "How is that possible? Shouldn't you be—"

"do you died."

Kiritsugu Emiya smiled faintly: "It should have been, but everything changed starting from the Fourth Shinobi World War."

"You no longer need to worry that Shirou will follow in your footsteps. At least in this world, he won't."

...A few days later, the Tohsaka family...

"cherry!"

Rin Tohsaka was overjoyed to see her long-lost sister return and went up to hug her.

"Yeah, it's been a long time, sister, even though we chat in the group every day."

Sakura smiled and said that she was no longer as introverted as she was when she was a child, but had become extremely cheerful.

"Yes, it's been several years, and you've become so strong."

Rin Tohsaka pinched Sakura's arm, feeling the firm muscles.

Sakura: "Because Luvia trains me every day."

Not long after the second round of questions and answers, Sakura was adopted by Tokiomi Tohsaka and given to the Edelfelt family.

After all, if this drags on any longer, Sakura will really be taken to be soaked in formaldehyde.

Having read about the second generation, Tokiomi Tohsaka also felt that Luvia was a suitable person to entrust with the task, at least better than the old bug.

Sakura pinched Rin Tohsaka's arm and said, "Don't talk about me, my sister's health isn't bad either."

Rin Tohsaka said proudly, "Because I also practice Bajiquan every day."

When Rin Tohsaka saw Luvia's incredible wrestling skills in the video, she felt very uncomfortable and, for some reason, wanted to surpass her. So she got rid of Tokiomi Tohsaka and had Risei Kotomine teach her Bajiquan.

After the young Li Shuwen joined the group, Rin Tohsaka frequently sought his advice and received responses, which helped her continuously improve her skills.

Unfortunately, Kotomine Risei was already quite old and passed away last year.

Rin Tohsaka: "Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's sleep together tonight and have a good get-together, sisters."

"Cough cough."

Seeing that Rin Tohsaka was completely focused on Sakura, Tokiomi Tohsaka had to cough to remind her that there were still guests present.

A blue-clad girl with gold-embroidered twin ponytails was standing at the door; it was Luvia.

That's right, Sakura didn't come back alone; her current older sister, Luvia, came along too.

Seeing the attitude of Sakura's 'former sister' whom Sakura often mentions towards Sakura, Luvia was quite satisfied, but for some reason, she just couldn't stand the other person.

Rin Tohsaka and Luvia, these two destined rivals, have finally met.

"Is this Sakura's old home? It's such a rural place, it looks so rustic."

Luvia didn't hold back her criticism from the start.

"What are you talking about? Nobody invited you here!"

Rin Tohsaka became furious upon hearing the other party criticize her family.

"Hmph, as expected of a country girl, so vulgar."

Luvia said with a sneer, "Who said no one invited me? I only came here at Sakura's request, to see where my lovely little sister used to live."

She emphasized the word "younger sister" very much, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Rin Tohsaka was furious and roared, "Sakura is my sister, not yours!"

Luvia: "Oh ho ho ho, sorry, she's my sister now, she has nothing to do with you."

"What did you say!"

Rin Tohsaka and Luvia drew closer and closer, their gazes clashing like sparks.

"Alright, stop doing this."

Sakura smiled and separated the two, not particularly angry about Luvia's words.

Because she knew that Luvia meant no harm; it was just that Luvia's personality.

"You are all my older sisters, how can you quarrel like this on our first meeting?"

Sakura said with a serious expression, "How about we just have a duel?"

Toosaka Rin: “???”

Luvia: "..."

Rin Tohsaka looked completely bewildered, while Luvia seemed unfazed.

She had long since figured out her younger sister; once you lay her in the open, she was a black sheep.

There's an old saying that everything depends on strength.
