Chapter 324: White-haired Meets White-haired, Needle Point Against Wheat Awn
"Sakura, are you taking the day off from school again today?"
"I can study later, I guarantee I won't fall behind on my schoolwork, Grandpa, but there's not much time to get along with Brother, and I still want Broly-niisan to teach me martial arts."
On the third morning, the dialogue conducted between Fujimura Raiga and little Sakura made Broly suddenly recall the matter of going to see the white-haired little nun yesterday.
Consciousness opened the Crystal Palace's panel for a look, and he discovered that Karen Ortensia's Happiness Value had now dropped to single digits.
"Broly-niisan, what's wrong?"
Sakura was more attentive, detected the boy's abnormality, and immediately leaned over to ask.
"I forgot about the matter of going to the Church yesterday, Karen's Happiness Value dropped."
Broly was somewhat depressed.
"Karen-chan isn't a petty child, yesterday Broly-niisan you were taking care of us all along, I think as long as you explain it clearly to her it'll be fine."
"Really?"
"I'll accompany Broly-niisan over to the Fuyuki Church side, personally explain to Karen-chan."
Sakura volunteered.
After eating breakfast, they went out the door together with the boy.
The two had just left on their front feet, and Rin Tohsaka arrived on her back feet.
"Where are Sakura and Broly?"
"They've already gone out."
"Where to?"
"Heard it was the Church."
After thanking the Fujimura family's gatekeeper, Rin Tohsaka ran toward the Fuyuki Church direction.
"Tohsaka-neesan, in such a rush, where are you going?"
The magic doll girl poked her head out, looked at the girl running past the front door like the wind and lightning, and asked.
"Going to the Church."
She answered while stepping in place; speaking of which, Ilya was actually the same age as her, but Ilya looked petite and cute, and she treated her as a younger sister, while Ilya also treated the girl as an older sister role.
"Going there to do what?"
"To find my younger sister, and Broly."
Hearing this, Ilya thought for a bit, then asked: "Can I go together?"
"Is your body okay?"
"It's already healed, the doctor who cured me also told me to adapt more to my current body, said if there's any problem I can go find her again."
"Alright then, let's go together."
"I'll go change shoes."
Rin Tohsaka paused at the Emiya residence front door, and after Ilya came out having changed into a pair of little leather shoes, one big one small, one girl with legs wrapped in black silk stockings, one loli with legs wrapped in white silk stockings, only then did these two figures start running on the road.
At first, Rin Tohsaka still took care of Ilya's condition, but after discovering Ilya could completely keep up with her speed, she accelerated her pace.
"The feeling of running freely is so comfortable~"
While running, Ilya's face showed a purely extreme smile, she said loudly.
"It's just running."
Rin Tohsaka didn't finish her words, she had already reacted to the difference in existence that running this matter held for different people.
For a normal person, something simply doable, for the frail and sickly Ilya, might be unimaginable.
"In the future, as long as Ilya you want to, you can all run like this."
"Mhm, but running alone seems a bit lonely."
"Alright, as long as I'm free, accompanying you to run together is fine too."
"Thank you, Tohsaka-neesan."
The white-haired loli's smile was so healing to the heart, Ilya's sincere thanks made Rin Tohsaka a bit stunned.
Then, not watching the road somewhat, she directly collided into the boy in front who, hearing the movement behind, had stopped his steps on the road together with the girl beside him and turned back to look behind.
"Ow, eh, it doesn't hurt..."
The fallen she subconsciously shouted pain, but when she stopped, the girl discovered she still had some distance from the ground in front.
Her waist was embraced and supported by one arm, and when supporting her falling body, the arm's owner also unloaded the force on her body.
"Rin, what are you doing, running blindly without watching the road?"
Broly asked the girl in his hand with some puzzlement, good thing the other party collided into him, if she had collided into the roadside utility pole, with the other party's weak physical quality she'd probably be injured.
"Isn't it because I wanted to chase you?"
Rin Tohsaka stood up straight somewhat embarrassedly.
And her pair of long legs wrapped in black silk thermal socks stood before Broly.
Today she wore a gray short skirt, upper body a dark red turtleneck sweater.
"Chase me for what, don't you have to go to school?"
Broly asked curiously, yesterday's Rin Tohsaka had properly gone to school, when she came over to the Fujimura family side after school she was still wearing her autumn-winter school uniform.
"Not going to school today, anyway those courses I've already finished learning, every exam is full score, as for chasing you, how come, this fiancée who's already agreed to become your wife, can't even chase you once?"
The girl asked with hands on hips.
"Uh, not really."
Broly was somewhat at a loss.
"Alright, not teasing you anymore, actually I came to find you for the Vampa Spider Legs."
Rin Tohsaka reached out and pinched Broly's cheek, then stated the reason for coming to find him early in the morning.
"The Vanpa Spider Leg Meat's mana recovery effect is great. I ate some last night, practiced magecraft all night, and was still full of energy by morning, so I wanted to ask if you had any more."
"No more. The spider legs I brought this time are all at the Fujimura Family home, but if you want some, I can go back to Nappa Star and bring you more."
"No need to bring them specially. The round-trip travel cost is over ten thousand Happiness Points. I came to find you just to tell you I need this. If you have stock, you can sell it all to me, that way there's no middleman markup."
Rin Tohsaka was somewhat disappointed and hurriedly waved her hands. The Vanpa Spider's leg meat helped her practice magecraft and grow in her Mo Jia Shi identity, but the boy's Happiness Points were also precious, and she didn't want to spend his points casually.
"But for this kind of thing, you could just call and ask, right?"
Broly pointed at the flip phone in little Sakura's hand and said.
"What's wrong? My younger sister staying with you is acceptable, but me staying with you isn't?"
Hearing this, Rin Tohsaka put her hands on her hips and asked again, but actually she hadn't slept all night yesterday, was still groggy when she left in the morning, and forgot there was a simpler communication method.
"No, I welcome you staying with me. If needed, we can bathe together tonight, I'll scrub your back, we can sleep together, I can be a body pillow."
"Eh?!"
Rin Tohsaka looked at the boy, then at the girl, and asked the younger sister: "Are you already getting along like this?"
"Yeah, Sis, want to join? Leave the Tohsaka Family, stay at the Fujimura Family for a while?"
Little Sakura asked.
"This development speed, isn't it a bit too fast? You and Broly are still kids."
Rin Tohsaka's eyes widened. Thinking of what her younger sister said when she had Mana Intoxication yesterday — that in the future the three of them, her, her sister, and Fujimura-sensei, would sleep together with the boy — and connecting it to what the other party said now, her mind started wandering.
Could it be, younger sister has already...
And the boy, can also...
If I agree to bathe and sleep with him tonight, will I be eaten?
"Rin, don't be afraid, I'll be gentle, just like with little Sakura..."
Thinking of the boy's childish face possibly appearing between her legs, saying such things to her, then holding her knees and thrusting forcefully, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but step back two steps.
It wasn't that she thought the boy was bad, just that she felt things like this should involve watching corresponding skill videos, learning how others do it, and only then proceeding to the next step of practice...
Okay, actually Rin Tohsaka just got cold feet, afraid of the unknown. Even after entering puberty she sometimes dreamed of similar scenes, but when it came to actual practice, shrinking back and avoidance were inevitable.
"Little Sakura, can I join you?"
Instead, Karen's thoughts were simpler. After recovering her health, she wanted to leave more memories with friends, and directly proposed wanting to join, the idea of staying with the boy and little Sakura.
"Of course. After all, Karen-neesan, you're also Broly-niisan's wife."
Little Sakura readily agreed. Broly also nodded. After making an appointment with the white-haired, crimson-eyed girl to bathe and sleep together tonight, the three looked at Rin Tohsaka together.
"Achoo~"
Kiritsugu Emiya had just gotten up not long ago. Solving his daughter's body problem had made him seldom relax his tense spirit.
Now, he was shaving in the bathroom, but suddenly sneezed. The little boy washing up beside him was startled.
"Dad, did you catch a cold?"
Shirou Emiya asked.
"No. Where's your sister?"
Kiritsugu Emiya didn't feel he was sick.
"Karen-neesan went out, with Tohsaka-neesan. Said they're going to the Church or something."
Shirou Emiya answered.
"The Church? What's Karen doing at the Church?"
Kiritsugu Emiya's eyebrow twitched. He hadn't forgotten who abducted Irisviel during the Fourth War seven years ago.
Although as an opponent, Kirei Kotomine's behavior was blameless at the time, that didn't mean Kiritsugu Emiya would be happy to see his daughter contact that guy.
However, heard that guy was paralyzed after the Fourth War...
Thinking thus, the man quickly finished washing up.
Put on his trench coat, didn't even eat, prepared to go out.
"Dad, where are you going?"
Seeing this, Shirou Emiya asked.
"To the Church."
Kiritsugu Emiya answered.
"Then what about me?"
Shirou Emiya looked at his dad with some hope.
"You, that's naturally obediently going to school to study."
Kiritsugu Emiya left. The homunculus maids brought a schoolbag.
Shirou Emiya looked at the schoolbag, then at Aunt Maiya Hisau drinking coffee opposite.
Somewhat want-to-cry-no-tears. He occasionally wanted to intervene in his dad's life too!
"What for? Church interior, unauthorized personnel prohibited from entering!"
Arriving at the Church side, Broly and the others were stopped.
The white-haired little nun stood at the front door with a cold little face.
An unwelcoming appearance.
"Karen-chan, you're angry because Broly-niisan didn't come see you yesterday, right? There's a reason for that..."
"No, Sakura-neesan, I don't get angry at strangers. I just don't welcome people who speak like they're farting."
"Tohsaka-neesan, that kid is angry, right?"
Karen leaned close to Rin Tohsaka's side and asked in a small voice.
"It seems Broly easily knocking her out is something she cares about quite a bit."
Rin Tohsaka nodded, confirming Ilya's statement.
"Hey, you little runt over there, who are you calling a kid?"
Hearing the conversation from this side, the little nun crossed her arms and glared over.
"My name is Ilya, I'm fifteen years old this year, how old are you?"
Perhaps because they shared the white-haired attribute, Ilya didn't cower at all and just asked.
"Karen Ortensia, ten years old this year, and this is my honest age, unlike certain little brats who love to lie about their age."
The little nun was rather sharp-tongued, saying this in a sarcastic tone.
"Who are you saying lied about their age?!"
Ilya glared back too, but with her petite frame she was a head shorter than Karen; even making a glaring expression had no presence, and instead, because she was tiptoeing, she looked quite childish.
"Whoever answers, that's who I'm talking about!"
The little nun shrugged her shoulders.
"I heard Broly easily knocked you out?"
Ilya is a smart girl; after discovering she couldn't gain an advantage from expression or height, she started poking at the little nun's sore spot, which she had just learned from Rin Tohsaka's mouth.
"Who are you saying got easily knocked out?"
"Whoever answers, that's who I'm talking about!"
"That was him taking advantage of my unpreparedness to sneak attack."
Karen is a genuine ten-year-old child; although she has a precocious side, she also has an immature side, just like now — she didn't want to appear weak in front of another white-haired girl.
"A sneak attack from the front, right?"
Rin Tohsaka muttered a sentence.
"Karen-chan, Ilya-neesan didn't deceive you, she really is fifteen years old, and at the same time, she is also Broly-niisan's first wife.
Ilya-neesan, Karen-chan also has no malice, she just has a comparatively poisonous tongue, and at the same time, she is also a new capture target Broly-niisan discovered."
Little Sakura mediated from the side, but the effect wasn't good.
"Oh my, didn't expect you to be a genuine dwarf neesan, I apologize for my words just now, and also, Broly, you even want a patient?"
"Little Sakura, I believe your words, but I want to add one thing, this impolite child not only has a poisonous mouth, but also smells extremely bad, just like she ate dog shit, Broly, can you not find a wife with a foul mouth?"
"Who are you saying ate dog shit?"
"Then who are you calling a dwarf?"
Two white-haired little lolis confronted each other at the church entrance.
When Kiritsugu Emiya rushed over to this side, they were staring at each other's gazes, almost able to make sparks explode in the air.
"Mr. Magus Killer, is this your beloved daughter?"
Seeing Kiritsugu Emiya approach, Kirei Kotomine pushed his wheelchair out from the Fuyuki Church side door, taking the initiative to greet Kiritsugu Emiya with a friendly appearance.
"Priest, does your daughter count as a nun too?"
Kiritsugu Emiya wasn't polite, but directly questioned.
"I thought so too."
Regarding this, Kirei Kotomine did not refute.
"Karen inherited her mother's looks, but her personality leans more towards me, her father."
He added.
"You are not a qualified priest."
Kiritsugu Emiya spoke again.
"So, she is not a qualified nun either."
Kirei Kotomine shrugged his shoulders.
"Eh, Dad, you know this person's father?" *2
The appearance of the two men made the two white-haired girls temporarily end their confrontation with each other.
"Of course, thanks to Mr. Emiya, I can now sit in a wheelchair and leisurely spend the rest of my life."
Karen's gaze changed, becoming somewhat ferocious.
"This is your own doing; if you hadn't kidnapped my wife and provoked me back then, you wouldn't have ended up in your current state."
Meeting his daughter's gaze, Kiritsugu Emiya also spoke of past events.
"Mom's death is related to this person?!"
Ilya's eyes also changed, becoming serious.
"Your mother was the Lesser Grail; in the Holy Grail War seven years ago, her death was destined, whether I was there or not made no difference."
Kirei Kotomine explained, then said to his own daughter: "Of course, if I hadn't gone to provoke Mr. Emiya back then, I indeed wouldn't have ended up half-crippled; this is indeed my own doing, Karen, you need not therefore feel hostility toward others."
Pausing, Kirei Kotomine looked at Kiritsugu Emiya, then asked: "Don't know what Mr. Emiya has come to the Church for today?"
