I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

With a feeling of apprehension, Lorelaia left the Tohsaka family, and led Sakura to the Matou family mansion, which was only a fifteen-minute walk away.

Originally, Weber wanted to go too. After all, it was Weber who was invited by Kariya, but Lorelaia refused. Firstly, the handling of the inheritance requires him to go through the formalities and contact the Clock Tower headquarters; secondly, there are some things that must be said by her. This is a responsibility that she must bear. Even if it is delayed for a minute, it will be a problem for her. Kind of suffering.

What will his family's expression be like when they hear that he is missing and that something is very likely to happen to him?

What will be the reaction of his family when they know that it happened because of her? Will he blast her out directly, or even want to kill her?

No matter what, no matter what the reaction is, she will not avoid it, but will accept it calmly.

As Lorelaia, as a friend of Shinji Matou, she would not use any power of the Barthelmero family, even if his family really wanted to kill her.

Of course, she won't really sit back and die, because she also has other responsibilities and cannot die here. She wants to avenge him, she wants to lead Barthamero, lead the Clock Tower, lead the Magic Association to continue to develop, and she will also take care of his family.

Thinking of this, Loreleia couldn't help but smile bitterly. It is clear that his concept of family is extremely weak, but now he is thinking about taking care of his family. Should it be said that it is cause and effect? Or is it irony?

"Sister Lorelaia, sister Lorelaiya, what's wrong with you?"

The soft voice in her ears woke Lorelaia out of her emotions, and it was only then that she realized that she had stopped unknowingly.

Are you afraid? Afraid of walking into his home, afraid of facing his family.

"Sister." The girl in front of her called her again.

This is a very beautiful girl with purple hair and purple eyes. Although she has not yet opened her eyes, she can already see her beautiful face. Her name seems to be Sakura, Matou Sakura, could she be her sister?

"Sister just thought of something."

If there were magicians from the Clock Tower standing here, they would definitely be surprised by Lorelaia's attitude. At this time, she didn't have the condescending air of a queen, nor was she aggressive. She seemed to be just a neighbor sister talking to her younger sister.

"Sister, can you tell me about the Clock Tower? My brother went to study there, but he didn't let me go too. He said it was too early for me." Sakura's eyes flickered and she looked very cute.

It turned out to be his sister. Lorelaia's nose was slightly sour. It is not difficult to hear from the girl's words that she is attached to her brother, but she indirectly killed her brother.

Seeing that Lorelaia didn't answer, Sakura carefully added: "Sister, if it's not convenient to say it, you don't have to say it."

"It's nothing inconvenient." Lorelaia shook her head and looked at the girl with softer eyes, "You don't mind if I call you Sakura."

"Um."

"The clock tower——"

No one had ever asked Lorelaia this question.

Those who are qualified to ask have enough knowledge about the Clock Tower and will not ask; those who can ask such questions are not qualified to contact her, the former candidate for the heir of Bartholomew and the current Lord Bartholomew. So for a moment, Lorelaia didn't know how to speak.

After thinking for a while, Lorelaia came up with an idea.

"——For magicians, this is the best and worst place. It has the best environment, the richest resources and knowledge, but it is also subject to some restrictions and is involved in many disputes. In many cases , Magicians who only pursue their goals are more terrifying than ordinary people, and cause greater commotion. Your brother is right, it is indeed a little early for you to go to the Clock Tower."

"So sister, are you okay?" Sakura asked innocently.

"Sister, it's okay."

Lorelaia's expression made Sakura feel inexplicably familiar, just like when her brother protected her from behind and faced the swarm of insects.

"My sister has lived there since she was a child and is used to it."

"Then when I go to the Clock Tower in the future, can I visit my sister?"

"Okay, sister is very welcome." Lorelaiya avoided Sakura's expectant eyes and added silently in her heart - if you are still willing to come at that time.

"I will definitely go back." Sakura's eyes lit up, "Ah, here we are, this is my home."

What caught Lorelaiya's eyes was a Western-style house with a history of more than a hundred years. Although the appearance was quite vicissitudes of life, it did not give people a shabby feeling.

Sakura stood in front of the gate, gently lifted up her skirt, and slightly bent her knees: "Welcome sister Lorelei to the Matou family."

Lorelaia sighed inaudibly and said in a voice that could only be heard by herself: "It's finally here."

Then, she bit her index finger out of habit and followed Sakura into Matou's house anxiously.

When they learned that someone from the Clock Tower was coming, the brothers Heya and Kariya were already waiting at the entrance.

"Hello, I am Matou Tsuruya, the head of the Matou family."

"I am Matou Kariya, the heir to the Matou family's magic seal."

A trace of doubt flashed in Lorelaia's eyes. Normally, the heir of the seal should be the head of the family. It is rare that the heir of the seal is separated from the head of the family like the Matou family.

Considering that each family's situation is different, Lorelaia buried her doubts in her heart and just responded with impeccable etiquette:

"Hello you two, my name is Lorelaia, my family name cannot be disclosed for some reasons, please forgive me."

Naturally, Tsuruya and Kariya wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. While saying no, they introduced Lorelaiya into the living room.

After the two parties sat down, Kariya asked: "Well, Miss Lorelaia, I would like to ask, why didn't Mr. Velvet come?"

"He still needs to deal with the Tosaka family's inheritance and patent inheritance matters, and he can't get away for the time being." Lorelaiya said the excuse she had prepared. "You two can tell me if you have anything."

With examples like Shinji in front of them, Tsuruya and Kariya did not look down on Lorelaia because of her young age. The two brothers looked at each other, and the elder brother, Tsuru, said: "Then I'm not polite. In fact, I I want to ask Miss Lorelaia to inquire about my child. He is visiting the Clock Tower and there has been no news for a long time."

In the entire Matou family, only Shinji has direct contact information for people related to the Clock Tower. Others, including Tsuraya and Kariya, have avoided it. This is to ensure that the fight in the Clock Tower does not involve the Matou family to the maximum extent. . The intelligence personnel stationed in London by Emiya Kiritsugu were completely withdrawn after Kenneth's return, and they turned to searching for Sigma's whereabouts.

In other words, Shinji is the only link between the Matou family and the Clock Tower. If something goes wrong with him, not to mention completely severing contact between the two parties, at least the exchange of information will become very difficult.

"Mr. Kakuya is talking about Shinji, right? I'm here just for this matter." Without giving Kakuya a chance to continue speaking, Lorelaia gritted her teeth and said what she had been planning for a long time, "Shenji is missing. , it is even possible that something unexpected has happened.”

With a "clang" sound, the tea tray in Sakura's hand overturned.
