Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

Sakura stood there slim and beautiful.

The little girl of the past has grown into a beautiful girl in every way, especially the indescribable part below the neck is arrogant.The long skirt hung down to her ankles, revealing her delicate and fair skin.

"……cherry?"

Rope was a little stunned.

He was still thinking about how to find Sakura, who disappeared from the Tohsaka house, but the latter jumped out on his own, which would undoubtedly save Rope a lot of trouble.

At least, after the end of the Holy Grail War, Pharos doesn't have to make a mess of Fuyuki City, including the surrounding area.

"Looks like Mr. Rope met an acquaintance."

Karen stood up from the seat very wisely, smoothed the folds of the blue nun's dress, and saluted Rope.

"Then leave first. If you find out one day in conscience, or if you lose interest in me and plan to let me go, please let me know, and I will thank you for helping me. If not, please treat me as not. Say."

After she finished speaking, the silver-haired girl glanced at Matou Sakura with a little deep meaning, but the latter put her whole mind on Rope, and didn't mean to give Karen at all.

...just like four years ago, she's an odd woman... the second daughter of the Tohsaka family.Karen commented in her heart.

It wasn't the first time she saw Sakura.

When she visited Tohsaka's house four years ago due to her annual routine, Sakura's attitude was exactly the same as now. She looked indifferent to the outside world. The aura around her made Karen very uncomfortable, and she was not at all like her sister Tohsaka Rin. Like blood sisters.That was also the last time Karen saw the second daughter of the Tohsaka family, and I heard that she disappeared inexplicably after that.

——Until now appearing in front of her.

The deep feeling like a quagmire is even more serious.

The girl was smiling softly and happily, but Karen had an illusion, as if the purple-haired girl was a surging violent darkness. As long as she got a little closer, she would fall into the abyss and couldn't extricate herself.

Reminiscent of the feeling when she met the "Silver-haired Demon", Karen did not intend to stay any longer, and prepared to leave under the vigilance of the creature's instinct.

"……Um."

Interrupted by the silver-haired nun's words, Rope nodded embarrassedly and watched the girl leave.

In the corner of the park, Sakura and Rope were left for a while.

"That, is Miss Ordesia?"

After Karen left, Sakura turned her gaze to her back.

Different from what the nun imagined, Sakura actually knew her.Kotomine Ri is bringing Karen to visit, and Sakura, who is in charge of reception with her mother and sister, will have an impression no matter what, that attitude is just that she doesn't care.

At that time, Sakura's brain was almost filled with the practice of secret arts, and the spare part was all thinking about "elder brother", so there was no time to focus on Karen Aldecia.

But now it's different.

Brother Rope came back here, right in front of her eyes, while the granddaughter of the priest was strangely following him.As a peer who had met several times, or as a woman, Sakura felt that she could no longer ignore it.

"Does Sakura know Karen? Well, that's right. After all, she's a nun of the church. As a land manager, the Tohsaka family can't possibly not know."

Rope nodded, not intending to waste time on this issue.

Sakura saw that, so she swallowed the rest of her words.

——She is a very sensible girl and will never embarrass her brother.

"Compared to this, Sakura, you are really worrying my brother."

There was a hint of reproach in Rope's tone, but there was a look of reassurance on his face.

"I told you to go back to your mother and sister's house, but you left privately four years ago. Not only that, but you also practiced a secret technique that your brother has forbidden you to touch—"

"…Does your brother know?"

The girl's shoulders shrank.

Although she had expected to be discovered, Sakura still felt very flustered when the truth was exposed by Rope.

"How can you not know? Do you think your brother has forgotten his promise?"

Rope said angrily: "The first time I returned to Fuyuki City, I went to find you, but Mrs. Tohsaka said that you left four years ago. If you come back a few weeks later, I'm afraid I'll have to turn the whole county over!"

"Brother, are you angry?"

Sakura's voice trembled slightly.I don't know if it's because the brother I care about the most will be angry, or if I'm happy because I haven't forgotten her, it's a very complicated feeling.

"angry!"

Rope looked at the girl who was about to cry, and sighed again, the tone of reproach eased.

He took a few steps and embraced the girl who was just as tall as his chest.

"I'm angry, but anyway, as long as you're safe. Also, I'm back as promised, Sakura."

"……Um!"

Sakura hugged Rope with her backhand, and rubbed her head hard against his chest.

Ten years later, the girl returned to the harbor that gave her a sense of security that night, but this time she was no longer a little girl, and Rope was no longer the boy she used to be.

After hugging for a while, Rope was the first to let go, and Sakura seemed a little reluctant to leave.

"Let's go, Sakura." He took the girl's hand and said.

"There are still many questions, but this is not the place to talk, go back with me. We will talk later, and by the way, my brother will cook you dinner tonight."
