One has to admit that Matou Zouken really understands what Matou Kariya cares about.

The latter was obviously shaken when he heard this.

Matou Kariya and Zenjo Aoi are childhood sweethearts.

If Tohsaka Tokiomi hadn't suddenly intervened, the two of them might have been married by now.

As for Matou Kariya.

If he could kill Tōsaka Tokiomi without anyone noticing during the Holy Grail War, and then marry Zenjo Aoi.

To some extent, it is just taking back what you deserve.

However, Matou Kariya was not that crazy.

He also realized a problem.

He looked at Matou Zouken and expressed his doubts.

"You...are not on good terms with the Tohsaka family? Why would you suddenly say something like that?"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Matou Zouken's face instantly tensed up.

Because he recalled the scene when Toosaka Tokiomi took Toosaka Sakura away - if he had succeeded at that time, there would be no need for the rebel in front of him.

"Then was then, and the present is now."

"Besides, the Holy Grail War is cruel. No matter how good your relationship is, it's useless. You still have to kill when you have to."

"Let's not discuss these trivial things. Just answer me one thing."

"Do you really want to marry Tousaka Aoi?"

"..."

Matou Kariya did not respond directly.

But at least he wasn't going to leave.

"Let me think about it."

Hearing this, Matou Zouken revealed an imperceptible smile.

He understands this situation only too well.

Once a person has a bad idea, it is absolutely impossible to deny it.

[You and Sakura Tousaka don't know what happened during this period. ]

[Because the little girl is about to confess something to her sister - that is, her desire to participate in the Holy Grail War. ]

[To this end, Sakura Tousaka has been preparing for a long time. 】

[Under normal circumstances, Luvia should have responded directly. ]

however--

But things didn't go as smoothly as expected.

After listening to her sister's serious story, Luvia crossed her arms and gave a direct answer.

"No."

"I will never allow you to participate in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War!"

285. Morgan's Devil's Whisper/The Bad Nature of the Holy Grail War/Sister's Worry (4k)

"Eh?!"

It was the first time that Sakura Toosaka was rejected so directly by her elder sister Luvia.

You know, normally, even if she doesn't agree, she will definitely give a reason for refusal after serious consideration.

But now she directly refused!

This incidates that……

My sister strongly disagrees with what I just proposed!

【Tousaka Sakura's plan was disrupted. 】

[This was something she had never expected.]

[At this moment, her mind was a little confused and she didn't know how to deal with it. ]

You realize this.

[You quickly spoke up to comfort her.]

"Don't worry." Mr. Ghost's voice sounded in Tosaka Sakura's ears, "Let's find out what's going on first."

"Luvia will definitely not reject you for no reason."

"Ask clearly what's going on, then communicate well, there will definitely be a solution."

The comfort from Mr. Ghost quickly calmed the panicked Tousaka Sakura down.

She already cared a lot about what he said, not to mention at a time like this.

So, the little girl mustered up her courage and said, "Sister Luvia, why don't you let me participate in the Holy Grail War?"

Although in front of outsiders, Luvia has always been the kind of person who is swift and resolute and does not tolerate any rebuttal.

But when facing her adopted sister Sakura Toosaka, she is not like this.

The young lady from Finland looked at Sakura Tousaka for a long time before she slowly spoke:

"Xiaoying, what I'm going to say next may not be pleasant to the ear."

"Can you... stop being mad at me?"

"..."

Although she didn't know what Luvia would say next, Sakura Tousaka nodded out of trust in her.

"I see."

"I won't be angry with Sister Luvia."

"That's good." Luvia felt relieved after getting Sakura Toosaka's promise.

"First of all, I want to remind you of something."

"The Holy Grail War and the like... that's something only country folk would do."

"what?"

Toosaka Sakura couldn't believe what she heard.

"Sister, what are you talking about??"

"The Holy Grail War... is something only country folk would do??"

"Yes." Luvia crossed her arms and looked serious.

"We've been in the Clock Tower for so long... Have you seen any magicians mention the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki?"

"Eh?"

After Luvia's reminder, Toosaka Sakura realized that this seemed to be the case.

The sisters, who had originally planned to stay for only a month, have now been here for a whole season.

During this period, only his teacher Vivian mentioned the Holy Grail War.

Even when she talked about it, she did so with caution and humility.

In a sense, it is exactly the same as what my sister Luvia said.

Is Fuyuki's Holy Grail War such a lowly existence?

No wonder she was worried that she would be unhappy after listening to it.

Seeing her stepsister Sakura Toosaka remaining silent, Luvia knew that she must have understood what she had just said.

Strike while the iron is hot, she immediately came up with a second reason.

"Xiaoying, besides this, there is actually another reason."

"..."

Toosaka Sakura, who had not yet recovered from the previous words, looked at her sister Luvia again, and her tone became much more cautious.

"What's the reason?"

"Hmm..." Luvia's attitude softened a little.

"According to the ancestral teachings handed down by our family, we, who have direct bloodlines, are absolutely not allowed to return to Japan."

"Of course, you don't have to think about such things."

"but--"

Luvia held onto Tousaka Sakura's shoulders, worry written all over her face.

"There is no way I can ignore this rule."

"After all, I am the future heir of the Edelfeldt family. If I take the lead in violating the ancestral teachings, the problem will be quite serious."

"That means even if I allow you to go to Fuyuki to participate in some Holy Grail War."

"I... can't go back with you, understand?"

"..."

If the former reason was that Luvia did not want Sakura Tousaka to participate in the Holy Grail War, which the Clock Tower considered a country folk ritual, for the sake of family reputation;

Then the latter one is purely out of her concern for her younger sister as an older sister.

Because of the family training that was passed down for unknown reasons, Luvia could never return to Fuyuki, let alone participate in the Holy Grail War.

This means that if Toosaka Sakura really wants to go back to join the war, she will basically be alone.

For Luvia, who has always cared about her stepsister, this is obviously an unacceptable situation.

"so--"

Luvia looked at her stepsister in front of her, and there was a hint of heartache in her eyes that only cared for her.

"Sakura, do you understand?"

"I'm worried something will happen to you."

"..."

Toosaka Sakura nodded.

"Well, I see."

[Although the idea has been put on hold for the time being because of my step-sister Luvia. ]

【But Tousaka Sakura did not give up on it. 】

[Or rather, her desire to join the war became stronger because of her sister's persuasion.]

late at night.

Lying in bed, Sakura Toosaka looked at the white curtains above the bed with a somewhat melancholy expression.

She still couldn't ignore the thought of joining the war in her head as her sister had said.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she asked in a low voice, "Air?"

"Mr. Ghost, are you there?"

"If you are here, can you please take care of me?"

In less than a second, Mr. Ghost's response came.

"Yeah...I'm here."

"Eh--?!"

Toosaka Sakura looked at the other side of the pillow, where the sound came from.
