The Endless Shuttle

——Sakura Matou.

After the Matou family died and returned to the Tohsaka family, she might have to be called "Tohsaka Sakura".

Ten years is enough to turn a young girl into a slim girl. Luo Pei wanted to see her very much, and told her that he had come back by the way.

"It should be right here... right?"

Standing outside a renovated mansion, Luo Pei hesitated.

After searching every corner of his memory, he vaguely remembered the location of the Tohsaka family. Although he didn't experience ten years like this world, the combined time of the two worlds is not short, and he can keep his impression thanks to a battle that happened near Tohsaka's house.

Hesitating to no avail, he decided to ring the doorbell and take a look directly instead of looking for it again.

Ding dong, ding dong.

The crisp doorbell rang, and after a while, the wooden door was pushed open, and a girl appeared in Luo Pei's sight.

Because the weather wasn't particularly warm, the girl was wearing a red coat, and her long, smooth, black hair was tied into twin ponytails. There was a trace of fatigue on her face, as if she had just woken up, but she was undoubtedly a beauty.

The characteristics are so distinct that Luo Pei knows the identity of the girl without even thinking about it.

Tohsaka Rin, Sakura's biological sister.

— It seems that I found the right place.

The girl was not as cautious as she used to be when meeting strangers in her grade, and looked curiously at Luo Pei who was standing outside the door.

"Excuse me, is this the Tohsaka family?" Luo Pei asked knowingly, as the beginning of the conversation.

"Yes. Are you...?"

"I'm Luo Pei." Luo Pei smiled gently.

"In terms of identity... Let's say he is an old friend of Mr. Tohsaka Tokiomi. He has been wandering abroad for several years. This time he came back to hear that Mr. Tohsaka passed away, so I came here to see him."

An opponent in a war, it is not an exaggeration for Luo Pei to call Tohsaka Tokiomi his old friend.

"Father's "old friend"? "

Rin Tohsaka chewed the word, frowned, his expression full of disbelief.

The black-haired young man was obviously only a few years older than her, and her father passed away ten years ago. She didn't think that her father Tosaka Tokiomi would become an old-fashioned "old friend" relationship with the child.

Strange, why does this voice always feel familiar... Tohsaka Rin muttered to himself.

"Rin, are there any guests at home?"

At this time, a gentle voice came from the room, interrupting Tohsaka Rin's thoughts.

"Mom." The girl turned her head, and a mature woman in a plain kimono stood behind her at the entrance.

Tohsaka Rin's mother and Tohsaka Tokiomi's wife—Tohsaka Aoi.

Because of Rope's intervention, the poor wife was not insane and paralyzed as in the original book, and died on the eve of the Fifth Holy Grail War. Although she was saddened by Tohsaka Tokiomi's departure, she was still alive with the support of her daughter.

Luo Pei smiled at her, Tohsaka Aoi politely returned the gift, and looked at her daughter suspiciously.

"Rin, who is this?"

"He said he was an old friend of my father, mother, do you know him?"

"...Huh?" Aoi Tohsaka was confused.

Seeing her mother's reaction, Tohsaka Rin immediately knew that she didn't know the black-haired young man in front of her at all.

Even his father's wife doesn't know, so it's really worth thinking about what Luo Pei said.

At this point, the bit of politeness that was pretended disappeared.

Visible to the naked eye, the girl's expression became disgusted, she waved her hand and said.

"Sir, please turn your head before you tell a lie. Although I don't know where you heard about our family, it's rude to make fun of your deceased father!"

Hearing this, Luo Pei shook his head with a broken smile, a feeling of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

"Really, Rin is still the same as when I was a child, nothing has changed..."

Being told by the other party in the tone of an elder, Tohsaka Rin became more and more unhappy... …

"I said, this gentleman..."

"Listen to me first. Rin." Luo Pei interrupted Rin Tosaka.

"I'm not interested in making up lies. Believe it or not is your business. I have only one purpose in coming to Tohsaka's house - where is your little sister Sakura?"

Sakura was sent to Tohsaka's house under his watch, so there was no way he could go wrong.

But from the beginning, he deliberately turned on his perception and found no trace of the third person in this room except Tosaka Rin and Tosaka Aoi.

not at home? go out?

Luo Pei was not clear about these things, and he keenly felt something was wrong.

He has the responsibility and obligation to take care of Sakura's affairs.

"Sakura..." Tohsaka Rin was in a daze when he heard the unexpected name suddenly, as if he was caught in some memory.

But the girl immediately came back to her senses, her expression became serious.

"who are you!?"

About her sister, even some close relatives don't know the details, but the other party opened their mouths and said it, and it was still with that familiar attitude, which made Tohsaka Rin have some bad associations.

My father's old friend... a magician! ?

That's right, if you are a magician, your appearance is simply a deceiving trick, and you should not be surprised if any strange things happen. Tohsaka Rin, who is also a magician, thinks so.

She reached into her pocket, grabbed a small ruby, and stood in front of her mother calmly.

Aoi Tohsaka was still at a loss for what Luo Pei and Rin said.

This weak woman became even weaker after her husband died, and her original decisiveness disappeared, and she even needed Rin to make up her mind on some things.

"Do you have to get to the bottom of it... okay." Luo Pei sighed.

"I don't know if Rin and Mrs. Tohsaka still have an impression of an unpleasant incident that happened in the Chancheng family ten years ago? For example, some unclean giant or something..."

"!"
