The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

Her father, mother, and sister will all become outsiders who have no connection with her except through blood.

This was the decision made by her father, and as a daughter she had no choice but to obey.

However, this feeling of loneliness is enough to suffocate.

Especially for a little girl whose values, personality and self-awareness are not yet fully developed, this is undoubtedly a huge blow.

"..."

Sister Lin was sitting nearby, and when she heard her sister's voice, she didn't know what to do.

Her sister was about to become someone else's child, which was a bolt from the blue for her.

You have to know that this is your own sister, the one who grew up with you, played with you, and has the same blood as you.

Of course, she couldn't accept it emotionally, but the young Rin also understood that it was something she had to accept.

The father, as the head of the family, has already made the decision, and even their mother has no right to object.

Rather, as family members, they should support the decision of the head of the family.

Who made them born into a magician's family?

However, my chest felt so tight, as if I was suffocating and couldn't breathe.

I really want to cry like this and hold my sister in my arms...

But that’s not possible... because I’m the older sister, so I can’t cry in front of my younger sister.

But if her sister started crying first, she would have an excuse to hold Sakura in her arms.

Sakura must be feeling the same as herself right now. The suffocating feeling of being separated from her sister must be strangling her little body.

Is there anything I can do for Sakura? Even just a word...

Lin opened his mouth and wanted to speak countless times, but he stopped abruptly every time.

In her impression, Ying matured very late and was a good kid. She always followed behind her, giving people the impression that she was delicate and easy to bully.

Sakura is very conservative when dealing with outsiders, but once she gets familiar with someone, she will show her unique tenderness to that person.

Add to that her puppy-like personality and the sparkling eyes when playing together...it's impossible not to like her.

However, what makes people feel helpless is that

Tomorrow, Sakura will be adopted into the Matou family.

According to my father, both the Matou family and the Tōsaka family are magus families with a history, and they are also allies with connections to each other.

As descendants of the Tousaka family, she and Sakura, who is about to be adopted, will definitely be the sixth generation heirs of both families.

If the situation were normal, even if Sakura was adopted, her two families would still live in the same city, and there would be no need for her family to be so sad about the adoption.

Unless one of Matou and Toosaka's families moves out of this city, the chances of the two sisters meeting each other in the future are not very high, but they are definitely not zero.

However, there is an unwritten rule between their two families that stands among magicians.

Yes, that is the iron rule that forbids prying into each other.

Once the heirs of both parties are too close and have a good relationship, it means that the magic inherited by their family is likely to be leaked.

Just think about it, the person who actually controls the Matou family would definitely not want to see this happen.

After all, they wanted to raise the child as an heir, but you turned out to be an ungrateful person and you turned around and sold out the family. How could that be?

Therefore, as the family that sent their daughter away, the Tousaka family must also abide by this unwritten agreement on their own initiative.

Even if the sisters meet again in this town one day in the future, they will not be able to perform the scene of sisters recognizing each other or father and daughter reuniting.

If only there was something that could sustain this relationship.

The worried twin-tailed girl kicked the air at her feet, then sighed softly as she sat next to her sister.

--------

That night, after a simple wash, the Tohsaka sisters returned to their room together.

The space in this room is very large, so large that it seems a bit wasted for the younger sisters.

Given the financial resources of the Tousaka family, it was natural for Tokitoshi, as a father, to give his daughter the best of everything.

Custom-made cabinets made of high-grade wood line the walls, and a high-end desk is located on the left side of the bed.

The large ocean-sized bed in the center of the room looks soft and comfortable, and hanging on the walls are intimate photos of the Tohsaka sisters and individual photos of the elder sister Rin.

Various kinds of puppets were placed in various corners of the room. The largest puppet was even taller than the owner of the room and was placed on the side of the bed.

If you compare it to the entire room, the number of dolls is actually not that many, but if you consider the personality of the owner of the room, this distribution is quite reasonable.

Although Rin is young, her aesthetic taste is far beyond that of other children of the same age, so the items placed on the cabinet are basically some books or some gem fragments for practice.

Yes, this room is the elder sister's room, and the younger sister's room is next door.

Compared to her sister, Sakura's room is much warmer. You can see a lot of dolls as soon as you open the door.

As long as the aesthetics are normal.

I believe that no matter what kind of girl she is, when she walks into a room like that, she will be dazed for a moment and lost in that pink world.

Some of those dolls were given to them by their sister, some were bought by their mother, and some were gifts from an uncle named Kariya.

In short, as time went by, elder sister Rin gradually realized the responsibilities she carried, so she gave some of her extra dolls to her younger sister who currently knew nothing.

Go back in time.

"So, Sakura, do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

"..."

Lin looked at the girl in front of him expectantly, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his voice.

However, the girl just lowered her head and remained silent, as if she was thinking about something.

Time passed by, and the girl couldn't help but speak again: "Ying, Ying..."

Finally, the girl slowly raised her head and looked at her sister with a confused look.

"Hey... Sister, are you calling me..."

Lin was delighted when he saw this, and nodded quickly, "Of course, I'm asking if you want to sleep with me!"

The girl's tone was firm, as if she was sending a message to the sister in front of her - this was not a joke or a casual suggestion, but a pure desire to spend the night with her.

Hearing her sister's question, Sakura, who was in a confused state, finally came back to her senses.

"Um..."

The girl did not hesitate and responded to her sister's request in a gentle voice.

Rin knew that Sakura's reaction was subconscious, but after getting the answer, she didn't plan to say anything more. Instead, she took her sister's hand and walked towards her room.

She had thought of the perfect thing to maintain this relationship today.

And I plan to entrust it to my lovely sister tonight.

In this way, Rin took Sakura back to her room, while her younger sister Sakura was passively pulled forward by her elder sister.

Sakura stared at her sister's back, her eyes shining with dependence.

Yes, for Sakura, her sister who has always been independent and proactive is her role model and guardian angel.

The two walked briskly and soon arrived at the door of their sister Lin's boudoir.

Gently pushing the door open, the two sisters walked in one after the other.

Lin closed the door and let go of her sister's hand.

Lin, wearing loose pajamas, walked straight to the soft and comfortable big bed, bent down and picked up a hairband beside the pillow.

She stared at the other item hanging on the clothes she had taken off, and after a slight hesitation, she reached out and picked it up.

Then, Rin turned around and slowly walked towards her sister Sakura who was standing beside her.

"Hey... Sakura... this..." Rin's voice was as gentle as the breeze blowing across your face in spring. There was a hint of determination in her eyes. She held the headband tightly in her slightly trembling hands, and above the headband lay a dazzling sapphire necklace.

Ying looked at her sister in confusion. She didn't understand why her sister gave her these two things.

"Sister, this is..."

"This is my gift to you, Sakura!"

Lin smiled gently, like the brightest star in the night sky.

"Sakura will be leaving this house tomorrow... After much thought, this is the most suitable gift..."

As she spoke, Rin pulled the ribbon in her hand out from under the necklace, then walked forward and gently tied it in Sakura's hair.

"This ribbon comes in pairs. I think giving it to Sakura will help her remember her future..."

"Because no matter when or where, as long as this ribbon is there, I will always be by your side..."

Rin quickly tied a headband for Sakura, took two steps back, looked Sakura up and down, then nodded with a satisfied expression.

"And then this..."

As she spoke, Rin raised her hand, and the two sisters focused their eyes on the glowing blue sphere.

"This... I remember it was dug out by Sakura..."

With a look of nostalgia on her face, Rin's voice echoed faintly in the air.

Although it is true that she was the one who found the gem, it was actually her sister Sakura who dug it out of the ground.

Even though nearly half a year had passed since that time, Rin still couldn't forget the look on Sakura's face when she was trying hard to dig out the gem.

I remember that Sakura carefully used her hands to dig up the surrounding soil bit by bit, and she was so focused as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world in her hands.

And when the gem was finally dug out completely, Sakura's hands and cheeks were covered with dirty mud.

However, Ying didn't care about it at all. Instead, she showed a silly smile and happily held the treasure in front of her.

At that time, Rin was thinking - Oh no, my sister is so cute, how is she different from a puppy!

Although it was rude to think of her sister like this, Rin felt that if she were to use anything as a metaphor, a puppy would be the most appropriate.

Of course, Rin hasn't met a bootlicker yet, otherwise she would have seen the diversity of the world.

Anyway, there is no need to say more about what happened afterwards.

Because their clothes were stained with mud, the two troublemakers were severely scolded by their mother.

Even though they were scolded by their mother, they both enjoyed it.

Seeing the heartless look of the two sisters, mother Aoi let out a long sigh.

The memories of that day gradually faded away from his eyes. Looking at his sister in front of him, Rin smiled, then grabbed Sakura's little hand and put the necklace in his hand into his sister's hand.

Ying's face turned a little pale, and her hands trembled slightly, as if she wanted to put the jewel necklace she was holding tightly in her hand back to her sister.

"No, no, this... this is my sister's stuff..."

There was a hint of fear and uneasiness in the girl's eyes, and her voice was slightly stuttering.

However, her sister shook her head gently, looked at Sakura and said with a smile.

"So what? We are sisters..."

"And Sakura, didn't you notice? This gem..."

As Rin skillfully changed the subject, Sakura also focused her attention on the jewel necklace in her hand.

"What is this!!" Sakura couldn't help but be stunned, her eyes fixed on the object in front of her that was emitting a familiar blue light.

Her mouth opened slightly, as if she had recalled something important.

It turned out that she recognized the gem in the center of the necklace, which was the one she had seen before...

"What a nice view..."

"But why did it become like this..."

Sakura whispered softly.

She was not only describing the beauty of the pearl, but also praising the exquisiteness of the necklace.

It is natural for girls to like accessories. Unlike boys, they are born to like shiny things.

After sighing, a gleam of doubt flashed in Sakura's eyes.

In fact, this is not surprising, because ever since Shichen decided on the adopted child, Sakura rarely set foot in the underground magic workshop, so naturally she had no way of knowing that her father had made the pearl into a necklace.

Seeing this, Rin told Sakura the reason, and Sakura suddenly realized it.

"This is Dad..."

Lin smiled and comforted him: "Yes, so you can accept it without worry. As for father, I will find a way to deal with the past..."

However, Ying still seemed a little hesitant. The girl looked at her sister and said faintly: "But...is this really okay?"

"Don't worry, my father said that this is something I found, so of course I have the right to decide what to do with it!" Lin continued, his tone firm and confident.

Then, she deliberately put on a stern face and pretended to be angry, "And if you don't accept it, then I will be really angry, right? Ying!"

After saying that, Lin pretended to be angry, puffing up his face like a little frog.

Judging from Lin's expression and behavior at the moment, the girl's pretended anger did not have much deterrent effect. Instead, it gave people a feeling of innocence and lovability.

But it is precisely this kind of Rin that Sakura, who is pure and kind-hearted, cannot refuse.

For Ying, her sister, mother and father are undoubtedly the most important people in her life.
