The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"otherwise--"

"There will be no such opportunity in the future."

"..."

I don't know if it was because I listened to Mr. Ghost's advice, or if I was just sad about being left here.

After a moment of silence, Toosaka Sakura actually started crying.

“Waaaaaaaaa——!!!”

"Mom and Dad, please don't abandon me!"

The crying of the little girl holding the rabbit doll quickly spread throughout the corridor.

Everyone's attention was instantly focused on Sakura Tousaka.

But everyone reacts to it differently.

The old man Matou Zouken gritted his teeth, looking very dissatisfied with Tousaka Sakura's crying.

If there was no one around, he would probably scold the child very harshly until she dared not cry.

And Tōsaka Tokiomi showed a sad expression.

He clenched his fists, looking as if he was blaming himself for his incompetence in such matters, and also as if he was angry at the unfair fate of Toosaka Sakura.

The one who had the biggest reaction was the mother, Zenjo Aoi.

Her emotions were already quite unstable, and she was almost on the verge of collapse after hearing her daughter's crying.

Finally, Zenjo Aoi broke free from her husband's hand, turned around, ran towards Tousaka Sakura, and hugged her in her arms.

"Sakura, don't cry, mommy is here!"

"Woo~"

Toosaka Sakura clutched her mother's clothes tightly and spoke in her arms with a twitch.

"Mom...don't...don't leave me."

"Sakura...will...will be a good girl."

Hearing this, Zenjo Aoi felt like her heart was about to break.

"Nothing."

"Mom...Mom won't abandon you!"

After making a promise to Tousaka Sakura, Zenjo Aoi hugged her daughter tighter, as if she was afraid that she would disappear from her arms.

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere in the corridor fell into endless silence.

【Your suggestion was a great success. 】

[The situation is just as you observed before - Zenjo Aoi really can't bear to part with her daughter, Tousaka Sakura.]

【This will be a turning point in resolving the matter. 】

【However, the situation seems to have changed again. 】

Faced with the deep mother-daughter love between Zenjo Aoi and Tousaka Sakura, Matou Zouken's eyes showed obvious disgust.

He complained in a voice that only he could hear.

"What a trouble... this woman."

Then, the old man looked at Tōsaka Tokiomi who was standing beside him, and said in a questioning tone:

"How did the situation become like this?"

"This...isn't quite the same as what you said at the beginning?"

Realizing that Matou Zouken seemed angry, Tōsaka Tokiomi immediately expressed his feelings.

"I'm sorry... Aoi seems to be a little out of control."

"Master, please let me go and persuade her."

"..."

There was a barely perceptible hint of impatience in Matou Zouken's eyes.

But he didn't express it in the end, and just replied to Tōsaka Tokiomi lightly:

"Row."

"Then hurry up and don't waste time."

"it is good."

After silently reciting the Magician's Rules several times, Tōsaka Tokiomi calmed himself down and suppressed all his emotions.

He walked up to his wife and whispered:

"sunflower."

"Don't be like this... We finally reached an agreement with the Matou family."

"..."

After hearing this, Zenjo Aoi was speechless. She just hugged her daughter, Tousaka Sakura, tightly, and it seemed that she didn't want to let go at all.

Seeing this, Tōsaka Tokiomi squatted down and further persuaded his wife.

"sunflower."

"You should know... this won't work."

"Sakura she..."

In the end, Tōsaka Tokiomi did not say those cruel words. He looked at his daughter in front of him and sighed helplessly.

[Tōsaka Tokiomi's reaction is enough to serve as intelligence. ]

[You are sure that the Tousaka family has a secret that Tousaka Sakura cannot know. ]

You realize that your suggestion may trigger a series of chain reactions.

[You didn't give Sakura Toosaka any more advice - you decided to let her figure out what to do next.]

"dad."

Toosaka Sakura was crying loudly and looked at her father with tearful eyes.

She spoke these very sad words in an almost begging tone.

"I won't eat sweets anymore... Can you please not leave me here?"

"..."

Tōsaka Tokiomi turned his face away, and his hands began to tremble.

His identity as a magician told him that the best thing to do now was to ignore his daughter's confession and take his wife away immediately.

But his responsibility as a father reminded him at this moment that he could not just abandon his daughter to the Matou family without her consent.

The man who was doubly oppressed began to hate his own incompetence as a magus more and more.

The one who finally brought all this to an end was Zenjo Aoi.

Listening to her daughter Sakura Tousaka's begging words to her husband, she felt her heart completely broken.

"Don't stay, absolutely not!"

Zencheng Kui's tears fell like rain.

"Tokiomi, you heard everything, right?"

"Sakura said she doesn't want to stay here... We, we can't do this!"

"But Aoi..."

Before Tōsaka Tokiomi could finish his words, Zenjo Aoi grabbed his hand.

The latter rarely lost her composure and roared at her husband almost like a madman.

"No, absolutely not!"

"She said she didn't want to!"

"Tokiomi, can't you hear me?!"

"..."

He realized that if this continued, his wife Zenjo Aoi would go crazy here.

Tōsaka Tokiomi thought about it again and again and made a difficult decision.

He stood up and looked at Matou Zouken who had witnessed the whole thing, then apologized in an extremely humble tone:

"I'm sorry, old man."

"It doesn't look like a good day to leave Sakura here."

"Shall I take her back first?"

Hearing this, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Matou Zouken's eyes.

But he did not show it completely, but just nodded and answered Tōsaka Tokiomi.

"……what ever."

"Also, the door is over there, just get out by yourself."

"I won't give it away."

"Okay." Realizing that Matou Zouken seemed a little angry, Toosaka Tokiomi no longer wanted to continue the conversation.

After bowing politely to the old man, he left the Matou family with his wife and daughter.

As he watched the three people's receding backs, Matou Zouken's expression became more ferocious in an instant.

He shouted hysterically, "You bastards, can't you just pretend you didn't hear me? Why waste your time?"

“It seems… we still have to call Kariya back.”

"No matter what means are used, he must be made..."

The old man didn't continue.

With some resentment in his heart, he walked deeper into the corridor.

[You don't know how Matou Zouken will react after you left. ]

[You only know that Tousaka Sakura's wish came true - she was indeed not left at the Matou family by her parents.]

[But the atmosphere did not become more cheerful. ]

[On the way back, Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't say a word, while Zenjo Aoi held her daughter Tohsaka Sakura and wiped her tears. ]

[Your plan seems to succeed, but it also seems to fail. ]

Inside Fuyuki Tousaka's residence.

Toosaka Sakura lowered her head, holding a rabbit doll, and sat on the bed in her room.

It is evening now.

The dim sunlight shone in through the window with the curtains drawn, and fell squarely on the little girl's face.

It was an expression full of disappointment.

Toosaka Sakura looked very depressed and seemed quite sad.

"Mr. Ghost." The little girl whispered, "Are you there?"

"I am always here."

The voice that Tousaka Sakura called Mr. Ghost quickly responded.

"what happened?"

"That's it." Toosaka Sakura hugged the rabbit doll's waist.
