Synopsis: Endless Shuttle

After finally sending Rin, who turned back three steps, Rope rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

As if to make up for his past mistakes, Rin Tohsaka cares about Sakura very much now.

This is a nice development.

The door was pulled, and only the purple-haired girl and Rope were left in the room.

"Rin has left, don't you plan to say something?" Rope asked.

Sakura's shoulders trembled, and after a while, she raised her head timidly.

"Brother..."

Her voice was so small that Rope could barely hear it if she didn't listen carefully.

"I have no plans to be your enemy..."

"Is this something you can say after you participated in the Holy Grail War and tried to get Lancer to kill Saber?"

Rope asked.

"A few days ago, I looked at you with joy, and I secretly celebrated the safe return of my long-lost sister. You practice the secret art, and I bow to His Highness Nyogda, and sit down with you as "Blessed One" identity of.After the Holy Grail War begins, even if you are busy, you are still concerned about the safety of your lack of strength.In the end, did Sakura repay me in this way?In return for the existence you call your brother? "

"..."

Sakura didn't answer, she was silent.

— pat, pat.

The sound of water dripping on the sheets reached Rope's ears.

The purple-haired girl's eyes were red, and tears kept falling from her beautiful cheeks.

"No...it's not like that. The Holy Grail can fulfill all wishes, Sakura has what she wants, and it has to come true...I never thought of hurting you, just..."

There is no way for the girl to say the rest, and nothing can make the girl more sad than the tone of the brother she cares about the most.

This is what Sakura fears the most in the Holy Grail War.

she wept.

Rope also realized that his tone seemed a little too heavy-handed.

Lancer had already left the stage, and Sakura had also lost the Master qualification. There was really no need to pursue it too much, because it was meaningless.

——From the first acquaintance at a young age, Sakura has a very special meaning to Rope.

He sighed and then came to Sakura's side, took the girl's shoulder and patted it gently.

For a long time, it seemed that Rope's appeasement played its due role, and the girl's whimper became much quieter.

"Everyone will make mistakes, as long as Sakura knows to recognize mistakes." Rope said gently.

"Isn't it enough to make a fool of yourself once?"

"Um……"

"But I'm very curious, what is the wish that Sakura thinks can only be realized with the help of the Holy Grail woven from that lie?" Rope asked strangely.

"Is it possible that Sakura thinks I don't have the ability to help you realize your wish?"

With Rope's current method, unless Sakura really wants to take off the moon in a whimsical way, he can help Sakura achieve anything that most girls can think of. Why should he take the risk of becoming his enemy to pursue the Holy Grail?

Sakura turned her head and looked straight at Rope with her red eyes.

Rope can understand the emotion in it.

"I like the elder brother."

The girl whispered her feelings in her heart.

"I like it very much, I like it very much. I want to hug you, kiss you, and even give birth to a child to my brother. If I start a family, I am very willing to be the wife who will watch you every day when you come back."

"……Um."

At the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, the young Sakura confessed to Rope.

Even though they didn't get along for a long time at that time, Rope left for ten years after the end.But human beings are the creatures that best embellish the good memories in their hearts, just like Rope who appeared in the world of cherry blossoms like a ray of light. After a long brewing, that hazy love not only did not decay, but increased exponentially.

"But in the end it's just an extravagant hope..." Sakura's expression darkened.

"My brother doesn't belong to this city. After the last Holy Grail War, you have been gone for ten years. If the Holy Grail War ends this time, you don't know how long you will be away... I want your brother to stay, forever. With Sakura. Such a wish cannot be fulfilled without relying on the Holy Grail..."

From the mouth of her mentor Nyogda, Sakura more or less understood the speciality of her brother - an existence that even gods looked upon differently.How can such a person be nostalgic for an ordinary city and a peaceful life.

"..."

This time it was Rope who was silent.

Ten years, because of the task and other things, Rope didn't feel how long.

——After the Nephilim bloodline has grown further, about ten years are just a little intoxicated and fleeting.

But for Sakura, this decade has been extraordinarily long.

From a young age to a young girl, living in a house where there is a sense of separation due to adoption, repeating painful secret art research and reincarnation of expectations and disappointments, Sakura was almost crushed.

I left the Tohsaka house four years ago, except for the appearance of the "dweller of darkness" Nyogda, this is probably the main reason.
