Sumire Tohsaka

"My sister has been taken care of by you."

Almost at the same time as he heard those words, Danik felt his knees lighten.

The sudden loss of balance made him fall forward involuntarily.

It takes a little time from when something happens to when the information reaches the human brain.

So, it took Danic a few seconds to realize what happened——

— Where did my right leg go?

"You guy-"

With a roar, he quickly gathered his magic power, trying to attack the smiling girl.

However, it was too late.

- snap.

How many steps does it take to put an elephant in a refrigerator?

Mouthpiece that utters chant.

Fingers that brew magic.

A calf for escape.

Open the magic circuit.

The viscera that sustain life.

All, all, were taken away by the passing shadow in an instant.

What I saw when the severed head fell was the murderous smile of the girl in white, and the piercingly cold eyes.

Finally, Danik Preston saw...a darkness deeper than darkness laughing at him (crack).

... imaginary space.

If he still had a tongue, Danik might be so amazed.

The imaginary number space is a concept corresponding to the real number space, the material world we live in.It is the concept of "not existing but being considered to exist".

For example, the imaginary space is like a dimensional pocket, and things that fall into it will become unbound by space and time.

In other words, Darnic will always maintain the state of this moment of dying, and spend eternity in the imaginary space.

- You shouldn't have anything to do with these monsters.

In the end, there was only one thought that slipped through his mind.

Then, the space that does not exist in this world closed its mouth.

The shadow jumped back to Tohsaka Sakura's feet like a snake, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand, and pressed her chest that was aching from the excessive operation of magic power.

"Crack, crack, crack—"

There was applause from behind.

Tohsaka Sakura was startled, and turned around suddenly, only to see a tall, white-haired young man leaning against the wall, raising his hand to her without any formality, and saying hello.

"Yo." He put his index finger and middle finger together, and tapped his forehead pretending to be cute, "I wanted to come over to help take a look, but it turned out that there was no room for me to appear."

Tohsaka Sakura grabbed the wrist of the other hand with one hand, and turned around defensively.The ribbon on the sideburns swayed slightly because of this movement, as if to show her restless heart.The girl in white took a half step back and tensed her body silently.

"Sorry..." She looked at the man in front of her, but her tone was still polite, "May I ask who you are?"

"Gojo Satoru, big brother of a kind conjurer passing by~"

Gojo Satoru's voice was extremely frivolous. Seeing the girl's entire shadow trembling at the word "conjurer", he just added "I'm just kidding" in a wicked way.

"Actually, I'm that child's teacher." He raised a finger happily, "Because I was worried that my lovely student would be in danger, I came here from Tokyo to check on the situation."

"Tokyo?" Tohsaka Sakura's face was buried deeper under the shadow of her long hair.

"Yes."

"This is Kyoto." Tohsaka Sakura calmly pointed out this fact.

"Don't care about those details, you can do this kind of thing anyway, can't you?"

Under the bandage, the ice-like pupils smiled at her.

"A shadow manipulator who can sneak in the imaginary space, your magic attribute is 'virtual', right? You are also a rare space-type ability user, you should be able to understand how to operate in this regard, right?"

"..."

Tohsaka Sakura's beautiful face became more and more tense.

"Don't be so nervous, I don't have that kind of malice towards her." Wujo Satoru spread his hands and took a step back consciously, "However, is it really good not to go over there? As far as I know, such a large-scale distortion, It will be a heavy burden on her body."

"..."

Tohsaka Sakura hesitated for a moment, but in the end it was her concern for her sister that occupied her entire mind. She clenched her arms silently, maintained a guarded posture, and watched Gojo Satoru, stepping forward like a lioness guarding against pursuit. Take a step back.Then, he turned around and rushed into the magic workshop!

"Really... Isn't this a good relationship between sisters?" Gojo Satoru slowly pulled back the bandage, "I thought it was just a child's bravado because he didn't want to admit that he was abandoned by his family, but it turned out to be true."

She would rather endure the pain of separation than send her to Liyuan Women's College to protect her from the eyes of the outside world.

Isn't this always being loved well?

"However, after all, he is still too young." Wujo Satoru stretched his neck, "When I heard about my sister's safety, I panicked, and even forgot to be on guard outside... Should I say that I am still a child? It is so easy Someone took advantage of it."

Even though he said that, Gojo Satoru stood there without moving.He didn't stand up straight until he felt the aura of the four people gradually disappearing.

"Fulfill good things to the end." He said to himself, "I'll see to the end."

……

……

……

"Okay, so let's treat it as a cure."

Sumire Tohsaka lay on the bed, quietly watching her sister carefully wrap the bandages around her body, covering the spells written on her body, and her still aching abdomen.

"Listen well, you must be careful when you move." Rin seriously told the youngest sister, "Your patience with magic is a little troublesome, my treatment can only keep your wounds on the outside and look fine to a certain extent, but the inside is only connected, and it has not been completely cured. This aspect will have to be handed over to Kirei when we return to Fuyuki tomorrow, and only he can completely solve this. Do you understand?"

Sumire Tohsaka nodded silently, her empty eyes stared at her sister, for some reason, it made people feel like a doll.

Rin turned her head slightly to avoid such stares.

"As for the boy with you, his situation is much simpler. I healed his wound with healing magic. Fortunately, because he is an ordinary person, Darnic didn't attach a curse or curse to his wound. It's easy to treat other troublesome things. As long as you don't exercise strenuously during this period, there should be no problem. If necessary, I can disguise this attack as a car accident or something..."

Rin suddenly couldn't speak anymore.Because what she was going to say next would probably be very cruel to her sister.

"...You know we are a family of magicians, Sumire."

However, she said it anyway.

Because this is the responsibility of being the head of the Tohsaka family.It is a rule that Rin Tohsaka, as a magician, must abide by no matter what.

"According to the magician's principle of concealment, ordinary people who are not magicians, nor are they related to it, must deal with it if they see the process of performing magic."

Rin looked at her younger sister's eyes that seemed to have seen everything, and felt that every word was so difficult.

It's just a nice way of saying it.

she thinks.

In fact, it is just for the concealment of the magic, so the ordinary people involved, the ordinary people who have witnessed the secret of the magic... all have to be killed or have their memories erased.

Tohsaka Sumire is also the daughter of a magician. Although she is not a magician, she also understands what the so-called "magician's hidden principle" is.

That's why she now looks at her sister with such eyes.

"Sister...what are you going to do?"

she asked softly.

"This attack...we will deal with it as an attack on Sakura, because she is a very rare shadow manipulator with imaginary number attributes, so Darnic wants to kidnap her, and he will not hesitate to start a war with the Tohsaka family. In this way, probably Take the eyes of the Association of Magicians away from you."

Rin forced himself not to look away, but looked directly at Sumire Tohsaka's face.This is her consistent style, no matter what she does, she must be upright.

"But, Sumire, you have to make a choice. You know what will happen if you continue like this."

After a long time, the girl's voice resounded hollowly in the night.

"……I understand."

Sumire Tohsaka turned her head to the side, looking at her own profile reflected in the glass window.

"I've always been aware...so, stop showing that look, sister."

She looked at Rin in her reflection for a long time, showing a pale smile.

"That's not your fault."

Because she is the one who makes the decision.

It's not for my sister, it's not for anyone, it's just for her own decision.

"This is the last." She turned her head sideways, looking into Rin's eyes, "at least I will end it."
