I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

The Matong family was particularly deserted tonight.

Tsuruno went to Tokyo to attend a business forum organized by the Ministry of Commerce. After that, he and several business partners would go abroad for inspection, and he would not be able to return home for at least half a month.

Justeza went to the Einzbern Forest. She planned to keep an eye on Irisviel during this period to see if she could get a complete "human" heart from Irisviel.

The two pairs of masters and servants, Kariya and Lancelot, Shinji and Scathach, went out for a night out separately.

That bastard Caster started summoning monsters in the underground sewers after retreating from Einzbern. The uncle and nephew, who couldn't be as rational and cold-blooded as Tokiomi, could only continue to drill into the underground sewers and destroy the monsters.

The difference is that this time Scathach has joined the Demon Slayer Team, and the area shared by Kariya has been greatly reduced. Shinji does not have to worry about being rescued when in danger.

Only Sakura was left behind in the huge three-story bungalow.

A silent night, a six-year-old girl, and a cold home sounded insulated from beauty.

Sakura did feel uneasy and lonely, but only a little, because she knew that her brother and uncle would be back soon, and she wanted to rest early, get up early, and prepare a delicious breakfast to make them more energetic.

Just thinking about Shinji and Kariya fighting for something to eat, Sakura felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Hey, I'm very capable too, right?"

"Meow~"

"Squeak~"

The two familiars lying next to Sakura screamed, seemingly in response.

Although they are alchemical constructs and aggregations of elements, with the guidance and help of Justeza, Sakura gave the two familiars life and intelligence. Now they are smarter and more humane than real cats and mice. .

The large pendulum clock in the living room rang, nine times in total.

"Oh, it's already nine o'clock, it's time to go to bed."

Sakura is a very well-behaved child. She goes to bed at the time she is told. She rubs her eyes, turns off the lights in the room and corridor, and gets into the warm bed.

Just when she was about to follow the meditation method taught by her master to coordinate her body and mind so that she could fall asleep as soon as possible, the sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" came from downstairs.

"Phone? Who's calling?"

Sakura put on a coat, ran downstairs and picked up the receiver of the phone.

"Hello, this is the Matou family."

"Sakura, is it Sakura?" This voice was very familiar to Sakura.

"Mom. Oh, no, Aunt Tohsaka."

"Sakura, is Kariya here? Please answer the phone." Aoi's voice sounded anxious.

"Uncle is out and not at home."

"When does he come back?"

"I don't know, uncle didn't tell me." Sakura shook her head and asked curiously, "Well, what happened?"

"Rin, Rin, she ran away from home."

"What, sister, she——!"

Upon hearing the news, Sakura became anxious and even subconsciously used the title "sister" that should have been discarded.

"Sister, where has she gone?"

"Fuyuki City, she left a note on the bedside table saying she was going to find her missing classmate. Sakura, if you see Kariya, tell him what you just said."

Before Sakura could answer, the other party hung up the phone without even saying goodbye, which showed the anxiety in Aoi's heart.

Listening to the "beep" sound in the receiver, Sakura's mouth pouted unconsciously.

"Sister, she ran away from home?"

The sister in her memory is so perfect, she does everything well, she is her father and mother, and she is also proud of her.

Before arriving at Matou's house, she liked to follow her sister and be her little tail.

How could such a sister run away from home? He is not an older brother or uncle who likes to mess around.

To find a missing classmate?

Missing?

Missing! ! !

At this moment, Sakura, like her sister Rin, was reminded of the recent high-profile cases of missing children.

No, my sister may be in danger!

Sakura, who finally reacted, put down the receiver and hurried into the underground workshop.

Mobile communications in 1994 were not developed enough, and it was difficult for signals to penetrate the ground and cover underground waterways. The only way to contact Shinji and Kariya was through a large-scale communication technique pre-arranged by Scathach.

"Brother, this is Xiaoying. My mother just called and said that my sister ran away from home——"

After receiving the call from his sister, Shinji's first thought was - committing suicide is indeed a tradition of the Tohsaka family. Tokiomi wanted to die, and Rin also wanted to die. They were indeed a father and daughter.

Fortunately, Sakura had already left the Tohsaka family and was growing up rapidly under the guidance of her master. Otherwise, she might have rushed out to find her sister instead of calling him as her brother.

The biggest difference between adults and children is not their bodies, but their logic and thinking patterns.

Based on the information conveyed by Sakura, Shinji could easily determine Rin's course of action.

Although Rin has top-level magic qualifications, she is still young and has not mastered the means of long-distance movement. She wants to get from Zencheng's home to Fuyuki City by only one way - taking a train.

There are only two tram stops in Fuyuki, Shinto Station and Miyama Town. The Tosaka family and the Matou family are both in Miyama Town. It is impossible for Rin to go to find someone under her father's nose. If she is discovered, her adventure will end here. That's it.

The answer is obvious——

"Sakura, contact your uncle and tell him that your sister may have gone to Xindu and ask him to start searching from the tram station."

After cutting off contact with Sakura, Shinji said to Scathach again:

"Teacher, please go back to pick up Xiaoying. I will fly over first and notify you of any news as soon as possible. Keep in touch."

The reason why he wants to go back to pick up Sakura is because Sakura and Rin are sisters and have a close relationship. Scathach can use this relationship to perform prophetic magic and locate Rin.

"Understood." Scathach knew it was too late and quickly left in spirit form.

Shenji found a nearby exit and left the underground waterway. There was no time and no time to clean up the garbage.

If he remembered correctly, Rin did have an adventure in Fatezero. What's interesting is that there are two versions of this adventure. In Gen Urobuchi's original novel, Rin was scared to death by the monster left by Caster before she could find Kotone, and was finally rescued by Kariya. In the animated version produced in 2011, Rin fully displays the style of a future heroine. With her own strength and wit, she successfully disrupted Ryunosuke Uyu's crimes and rescued her friends.

But now, because of Scathach's continuous pursuit, the Caster team does not dare to be as unscrupulous as in the original world line. Ever since Kotomine Rizheng temporarily changed the rules, there has been no news of them committing a crime.

Shinji took it for granted that the two of them would restrain themselves, no child would be caught, and Rin would not have a chance to be a hero (seeking death). Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the madness of this pair of madmen. Caster attacked the Einzbern Forest and attracted everyone's attention. Over there, Ryunosuke began to commit crimes and captured Rin's friends, letting Rin step on them. Embark on an adventurous (death-seeking) journey to find friends.

The world line has once again returned to its established track.

Whether it was a simple coincidence or the inertia of fate, Shenji didn't know. He only knew that his intrusion could not lead to the strengthening of the guards around Ryunosuke, and in the end, Rin lost his life.

If this is the case, Sakura will suffer for the rest of her life, and Shinji will blame himself for the rest of his life.

"Tohsaka Rin, I beg you, please slow down."

Regardless of the loss of magic power, Shinji kept praying while flying in the air on his flying shoes.
