Lost Narrative Poetry

The sun was setting, and night was about to envelope Fuyuki.

"The days are really getting shorter and shorter. It never got dark so quickly before. Even if I continue to have some drinks after school and go shopping, I still have time to get home before the sun goes down..."

Walking on the lonely and deserted streets, looking at the hazy night and the street lights that were starting to light up, Mizu Ayako took a breath and said with some emotion.

At the same time, she still had some doubts in her heart. Although it was a natural law that the days were short and the nights were long in winter, when did the days become so short? Mingming felt that he and Sakura didn't waste too much time. They just practiced in the Kyudo Club for a period of time after school, and then left school.

But before I could even walk to Tohsaka's house, night had completely fallen?

However, Mizu Ayako only subconsciously felt that something was not right about this situation, but she could not explain why.

Similarly, Matou Sakura also responded absent-mindedly, not paying attention to what Mizu Ayako said. Her entire attention was not focused on the second-year senior sister, but she was just slightly upset. He was thinking wildly about how to drive her away——

Without being rude or arousing suspicion?

But it's hard to do. If there was such a good way, she wouldn't have accompanied Ayako Mizusushi here. She would have been able to see the outline of the mansion from a distance...and Having come this far, there is absolutely no reason for Mizu Ayako to turn back at this time, right?

"Speaking of which, are Sakura and Tohsaka preparing for something very important during this time?"

Mizu Ayako held Sakura's arm very well, the main purpose was to prevent the girl from running away.

"W-what?" Matou Sakura, who was thinking wildly, was slightly startled and her body stiffened slightly. Could it be that Senior Meizu already knew? The secret about the magical world that you and your sister intentionally hide?

"I can see it too. Let me tell you, you won't think of me as a careless person who doesn't even notice the strangeness of the people around you, right?"

Meizu Ayako sighed, and stretched out her hand helplessly to brush the hair hanging on the girl's shoulders. She also regarded this school girl as her own sister.

"Let's not talk about Tosaka, Sakura, you are often distracted these days. Many times when I talk to you, you can't hear me. I don't know what you are thinking. You are so absorbed... and the practice time in the Kyudo Club has also been significantly reduced. When I was training, it was as if I was perfunctory and I would leave as soon as the time was up."

"H-I'm sorry, Meizu-senpai..."

"Haha, there is no need to apologize to me. I know that Sakura is a very polite and good child, so there must be something that has made you concerned recently. Are you upset?" Meizu Ayako chuckled, "Can you tell me?"

"..."

"..."

Matou Sakura hesitated slightly, but looked at the Tohsaka residence not far ahead, gritted her teeth, and said softly: "Actually, it's like this, I...I...my brother is back."

She could only explain it this way.

The Holy Grail War, the Magic World, these things are really not suitable for Kazumi-senpai, she said.

But the matter about my brother can still be talked about, or it is necessary to talk about it, because there is no point in continuing to hide it. After all, Meizu-senpai has already come here, and it is very likely that she will meet her brother later. Right?

Besides, even if we don’t talk about what will happen later, what about after the Holy Grail War is over? At that time, it was not suitable for my brother to hide all the time and not appear in front of others... Matou Sakura thought so. She did not consider whether Xia Ran would stay or not, or she was unwilling to go. Think in that direction.

——But stubbornly identify the glorious future that one dreams of.

"Ah?" Mizusumi Ayako didn't expect to get such an answer at all, and opened her mouth in shock, "Your brother? Wait, why didn't I hear that you two sisters have a brother..."

"He is my brother and has nothing to do with Tohsaka-senpai." Matou Sakura explained clearly immediately.

"Eh--?"

Mizu Ayako made an obviously protracted tone, and she asked very doubtfully: "Is he the original child of the Matou family, the eldest son or something like that? But I have never heard of it before. I thought he was Matou. Sakura is the only heir in this generation of our family..."

"No, this...it's hard to explain to you, Meizu-senpai." The purple-haired girl was a bit confused, "Anyway, as long as you know that he is my brother, it's fine. There are very complicated reasons..."

In fact, there is a Matou Shinji in the Matou family, but that kid doesn't know how to judge the situation at all. He is different from the thoughts of the previous generation such as Matou Tsuruno or Matou Kariya. He doesn't know anything and has never changed his opinion. That is, a group of outsiders killed grandpa and took over the Matou family's property.

——And it also shattered his dream of inheriting the family property and becoming the head of the family in the future.

Especially when he learned that his family turned out to be a demonic family, the blow was even greater. He felt that if it weren't for this group of outsiders, he would definitely be able to gain the appreciation of his wise and martial grandfather and become a man with powerful power. Heroes of the Dark World and the like...

And I don’t know what’s going on with my father. He has no backbone at all. He doesn’t resist on the surface, and he doesn’t have any plans secretly. Instead, he seems to have endured the hard days and is grateful to the benefactor who saved him from the sea of ​​suffering. It’s really very She was helping a few outsiders take care of the Matong family, and her life was so comfortable.

Regarding this situation, Matou Shinji was simply going crazy. Without being severely beaten by society, he would not have been able to be so submissive. He must resist. He just has to wait for an opportunity and fight for his life. He does not want to prove how great he is, but he must get back what he has lost. !

Then a few years ago, because he jumped too much, his legs were broken by Matou Tsuruno himself, and he was taken directly abroad, never to come back again.

"Only those who have never experienced war will yearn for war." Matou Tsuruno knew this truth very well. He did not feel sad at all for what happened to the old insect. Instead, he felt overjoyed that the dark clouds and curses that had been hanging over the Matou family had finally dissipated. The sadness and sadness.

His bastard son didn't know anything at all. Over the long period of hundreds of years, how much blood and tears the Matong family had paid from generation to generation, and how many people's flesh and blood did that old insect feed on to survive? For five generations...

Therefore, Matou Tsuruno felt that instead of waiting for the witch to completely lose her patience, it would be better for her to be decisive and cruel and teach him a lesson that she would never forget. It would be much better to break her leg than to lose her life.

So that’s it—

No one really knows the details of the Matou family. They only think that Matou Sakura is the only eldest lady in this family. Matou Sakura herself has never said that she has long forgotten the existence of Matou Shinji. Naturally, the brother in her mouth cannot refer to that guy.

"That's it..."

Meizu Ayako blinked her eyes and nodded in understanding.

It seems that he is not his biological brother, but this is natural. After all, I have never heard Tosaka talk about this matter, and if this was the case, the Tosaka family would not be reduced to what it is now. But in this case, it seems that there are more places that are questionable.

Looking the purple-haired girl up and down, she felt that she understood, but she didn't know what she was thinking about, and her expression was a little weird.

"We're already here, Senior Sister Meizu, let's go there quickly..."

Sakura was also flustered by the strange look in Ayako Mizuchi's eyes. The mansion happened to be in front of her, so she hurriedly spoke, changing the subject to attract the other party's attention.

She always felt as if her little thoughts had been seen through, and she was really embarrassed, so in order to prevent this senior from asking questions that would make her embarrassed, she had no choice but to do this.

"Oh, we're here..." Mizusumi Ayako felt a little regretful for some reason. Why did she arrive so soon? It's still early.

She looked up and happened to see a familiar figure staggering out of the mansion, walking out of it as if listlessly. She quickly raised her hand high and greeted: "Tohsaka! Tosaka! Here, here..."

After calling several times in a row, Tohsaka Rin seemed to react and looked over, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

She suddenly cheered up and walked over quickly: "Meisu! Sakura! Why are you here?"

In this cold world, people are cold and heartless, and even the servants summoned by themselves cannot be trusted. Only his sister can bring him warmth, and now Sakura actually takes the initiative to come and see him...

However, she also knew that her sister was still estranged from her, so even though she was very happy in her heart, she still restrained herself very much and kept a good distance in dealing with her, lest Sakura just came over and be scared off by her overly eager performance.

"Why do you think we are all here?" Tohsaka Rin asked first and blocked all the questions in her mouth. Mizusui Ayako felt a little headache. After she realized it, she sighed, "You didn't go to school today, and you didn't Make a call to ask for leave, Sakura and I are really worried about you..."

"Eh? Didn't I call to ask for leave?"

Tohsaka Rin was stunned for a moment.

"..."

"..."

Meizu Ayako didn't want to speak anymore, and Sakura smiled reluctantly and turned to look in other directions on the street.

Tohsaka Rin finally remembered how she had spent the whole day in a muddle. She lowered her head silently, covered her face with her hands, and moaned feebly: "Oh, I was careless... It's all that guy's fault. I will be so angry with him at the end of the day..."

When I woke up early in the morning, I still remembered that I wanted to ask for leave from school, but at the end of the whole day, I couldn't do anything.

I won’t talk about this anymore.

Recalling the blows he suffered one after another during the day and the various situations that emerged one after another, Tohsaka Rin's blood surged instantly, and he felt as if he was about to lose his mind and feel suffocated. She finally understood why no one survived the four battles ten years ago. It turned out that the servants were all such bad familiars!

"Him?!"×2

In an instant, the eyes of Mizu Ayako and Matou Sakura suddenly became sharp!

"Ah? No, no, I mean, I mean..." Tohsaka Rin came back to his senses and waved his hands quickly, but he became more and more anxious. The more anxious he became, the less he knew what to say. The two people opposite him His gaze made her panic.

And I don’t know why, although they both have the same sharp gaze, it seems that the gazes of Mizu and Sakura are of completely different natures. Mizu’s gaze is just pure curiosity plus inquisitive nature, while the latter’s gaze seems to be more intense. Aggressive, even inexplicably hostile.

Of course, Tohsaka Rin did not think deeply, but immediately judged that it was his own illusion! After all, how is it possible? Sakura has no reason to be hostile to herself because of this kind of thing. Even if she really knows the inside story, she will only share the same hatred with her sister!

"Tell me! I'm listening, what's going on with him..." Mizusumi Ayako was angry and funny. It was in vain that she was so worried about this friend. It turned out to be this. "It seems that you have found Tohsaka. So I lost, and I’m really not willing to accept it.”

"Wha, what! That's not the case at all!" Tohsaka Rin was angry and annoyed, and shouted with a red face, expressing strong denial of this.

"I'm sorry, Mizu-senpai! Tohsaka-senpai! What on earth are you talking about!" Matou Sakura felt more and more uncomfortable, looked at the two of them very seriously, and asked loudly.

"Haha, actually it's nothing..." Mizusui Ayako then remembered that Sakura was still beside her, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was a promise that even children today would not make, that is, when she talked about it with Tohsaka. It would feel natural, but it would be too embarrassing to tell others this kind of thing.

"Meizui-senpai! Please answer my question!" Sakura raised her voice.

"..."

"..."

It was probably because they had never seen such a sweet and cute school girl burst out with such a powerful aura at this moment. Mizusui Ayako and Tohsaka Rin lost their voices at the same time. They felt like they were being hunted by some kind of prey at the top of the food chain. Eaters are generally targeted.

"A-actually, it's like this, Tohsaka and I..." Mizu Ayako followed her heart and stammered just to explain.

The two of them are indeed very good friends, but they are the kind of relationship where there would be no friendship if they don't compete with each other everywhere, so whether it's study or attendance, they need to compete in everything, even who comes first before the third grade. Having a boyfriend can also be used as a competition.

The losing party must obey the winning party, just like through such things to really decide who is the eldest sister and who is the follower.

"Ah ah ah ah, stop talking, stop talking! That's not the case at all!"

Rin Tosaka shouted with her face flushed, interrupting her friend's heartfelt move. Although she was frightened by Sakura's terrifying momentum just now, it was only for a moment. In her heart, Sakura was always her sister. , naturally recovered immediately.

"Hehehe, we found two so easily. It seems that the Master of this Holy Grail War is not very good..."

At this time, laughter like silver bells sounded.

At the end of the deserted street, an angel-like figure with silver hair and red eyes appeared in a purple dress suitable for winter, looking simple and innocent.

She is no longer as embarrassed and weak as she was two months ago when she faced the wolves in the deep mountains. Her eyes only reveal a kind of cruelty that is both innocent and innocent. She looks innocent, but in fact she is mercilessly looking at the mansion in front of her. Three girls in front of the door.

Then, because her lolita sound was too low, and the servant was currently in a state of invisibility in spiritual form, it didn’t attract anyone’s attention——

"What the hell is going on?!" Sakura Matou asked loudly, staring at her sister fiercely.

"Yeah, yeah, what's going on?" Mizu Ayako echoed from the side. Although she didn't know what was wrong with Sakura, she obviously couldn't afford to offend her, so she should stand on her side and put pressure on her sister!

"..."

"..."

"Then, um, you two are the masters of this Holy Grail War..."

The body shape and appearance were still at the age of nine. The silver-haired loli called out again, trying to attract the attention of the three people opposite to her.

What happened to these three people!

"What's there to say! I don't even know what you are talking about!" Tohsaka Rin was going crazy. What on earth is going on with these two people? Are they interrogating themselves as prisoners?

"Tohsaka-senpai, don't act stupid! Who is that "him" you just mentioned! "The purple-haired girl asked sternly, "What does it have to do with you? You didn't go to school during the day. What did you do at home? "

"I, I... this, this has nothing to do with you Sakura, does it? I don't need to explain to you..." Tohsaka Rin was sweating, but still said with a tough attitude.

At this moment, saying that he just made a slip of the tongue and that "he" does not exist at all would be a bit insulting to people's IQ, and it has the implication that there is no silver in this place.

She felt that she had seen through Sakura's true thoughts, and thought that the other party had guessed that she had summoned the servants in order to participate in the Holy Grail War, and was acting so uncharacteristically because she was too worried about herself.

But although she was very moved by this, Sakura really shouldn't be involved. It would be better if her sister, as her sister, takes responsibility for things like the Holy Grail War! Warning to himself over and over again in his mind, Tohsaka Rin strengthened his belief and toughened his attitude.

However--

"...Is that so?" The purple-haired girl's pupils instantly lost their highlights.

Has nothing to do with yourself? Don’t you need to explain to yourself? It seems that my sister already knows what she is here for...

So with her current statement, does she have to compete with herself? Why do this?

"..."

"..."

"...You, you have gone too far. I...I, I, I will never forgive you..."

At this time, the silver-haired lolita at the end of the street was biting her lips tightly in the cold wind. She was so angry that she was trembling with anger after being ignored all the time, and she felt that her whole body was not good.
