Chapter 188 Sister and Sister

"Why? Archer!"

Emiya Shirou found Lin Yu's words very strange, and he felt that if he didn't go in and comfort Sakura now, he would be letting her down.

"Emiya-kun, you should stay outside. It's your only option."

Rin Tohsaka quickly understood Lin Yu's meaning and began to dissuade Shirou Emiya, causing his expression to change constantly.

"Let me put it more clearly: if you go in, she dies; if you don't go in, she lives. Do you understand now?"

Lin Yu wanted to slap Shirou Emiya to death. The difference in personality between this "partner of justice" and the Great Hero Emiya was truly huge. If Shirou Emiya insisted on being a "partner of justice," then every Archer in the future would want to kill him. But if he took the path of the Great Hero Emiya, at least he wouldn't regret it in the future.

Emiya Shirou is so fixated on this point that you just want to slap him to death.

"..."

Shirou Emiya fell silent. He noticed that everyone around him looked like they didn't want him to get involved, even Saber Artoria, whose attitude seemed to silently support Archer's point of view.

This collective understanding forced Shirou Emiya to suppress his own desires, even though he still wanted to go in and comfort Sakura.

“I’ll wait outside with Shirou. You guys go in first. It’s not safe for him to be out alone. If any other Servants come, we can handle them.”

At this moment, Shirou Emiya's expression was very unpleasant. Saber also chose to stay with her Master. After all, she had only met that girl once, and she might move into the Emiya family home for a few days later. To her, Matou Sakura was just a pitiful girl, and Shirou Emiya, as her Master, was the most important person.

It's not that she's cold-hearted, but as a king, she's witnessed a lot of cruelty and tragedy. In her eyes, this Holy Grail War is like children playing house—naive and innocent. If this kind of personality had been in the previous Holy Grail War, she would have been the first to be eliminated. Now, they're just playing house with the Holy Grail game.

"Okay, thanks, Saber."

After Lin Yu nodded to Saber, he walked to Shirou Emiya's side, pulled the stunned Shinji Matou over, and carried him into the Matou house like a chick.

Souichirou Kuzuki, Medea Caster, Medusa Rider, and Rin Tohsaka followed closely behind, entering the Matou family's residence together.

"It tastes disgusting."

C-Mom's face was full of disgust, clearly she had already noticed the insect storage in the basement, however, apart from Lin Yu and Rider, no one else quite understood what she meant.

There was no obvious strange smell in the Matou house, so why did she say she felt nauseous as soon as she entered? The old insect's insect magic wasn't that obvious yet; even Rin Tohsaka would have a hard time detecting it.

Just like he/she is juggling a thousand relationships, without telling you, you think you are the only one.

"Where is Sakura!?"

After overcoming that hurdle in her heart, Rin Tohsaka immediately asked Shinji Matou about wanting to see Sakura.

"Snapped!"

"Didn't you hear my Master asking you a question?"

Shinji Matou's cheek became red and swollen.

“In...in...”

"Snapped!"

"Speaking so slowly, are you asking for a beating?"

Shinji Matou's other cheek also became red and swollen.

"me..."

"Snapped!"

"It seems you really like my hand."

Shinji Matou was stunned for a few seconds, and then:

"Ahhhh!!!"

This voice carried a variety of emotions, including fear, dread, and humiliation; it was a perfect shout.

"Snapped!"

Lin Yu slapped him again, then used his telekinesis to pinch his mouth shut, and pointed to a room on the second floor for Rin Tohsaka.

Rin Tohsaka hurriedly ran upstairs, not caring how Lin Yu knew the location. Lin Yu and the others followed, since this was the Matou family's magic workshop, which might be dangerous, and they couldn't let Rin Tohsaka wander around alone.

"Sakura! Are you alright?!"

Rin Tohsaka gently knocked on the door, but heard no response.

Immediately afterwards, this woman, who possessed the unique skills of Bajiquan and was known as "Devil Muscle Lin," used a powerful shoulder strike to smash the door open and strode into the room.

Then she saw Matou Sakura curled up in a ball on the bed, which made Rin Tohsaka's heart ache. She slowly approached, and Matou Sakura noticed her presence at that moment.

"Senior...?"

Despite the immense pain she was enduring, Matou Sakura greeted Tohsaka Rin. She was utterly bewildered by Rin's appearance.

She knew about the agreement between the two families, so Rin Tohsaka appearing in her room felt like a dream, both real and unreal.

Sakura Matou's doubts vanished instantly when she caught a glimpse of Rider, but when she saw Souichirou Kuzuki, she was once again lost in confusion.

She felt as if she were hallucinating, her thoughts in disarray. Although Matou Sakura knew that Emiya Shirou was involved in the Holy Grail War and suspected that Tohsaka Rin was involved, the appearance of Kuzuki Souichirou made her feel like she was dreaming.

Although Soichiro Kuzuki is not her homeroom teacher, Sakura Matou is no stranger to him as Rin Tohsaka's homeroom teacher. Almost all teachers and students at the school know Soichiro Kuzuki's reputation, and his poker face, which has remained unchanged for many years, is one of his most distinctive features.

"Sakura, I understand everything! How dare those bastards from the Matou family treat you like this! We don't need to stay here any longer! Let's go! Sakura, come home with me! Home right now!"

After witnessing Matou Sakura's pained expression, Rin Tohsaka completely lost her composure. She took Matou Sakura's hand, eager to take her away immediately.

This was in stark contrast to her previous hesitation outside; at this moment, she had made up her mind, even if it meant breaking the agreement between the two families.

Sakura Matou stood there, a hint of confusion in her eyes. As Rider's battle ended, the pain in her body slowly subsided, but Rin Tohsaka's sudden and intense words hit her heart like a heavy hammer, leaving her mind blank for a moment and completely unable to keep up with Rin Tohsaka's train of thought.

"Tohsaka-senpai... what are you saying?"

Sakura Matou asked softly, trying to break free from Rin Tohsaka's tight grip, but Rin seemed determined, holding on tightly and not giving her any chance to escape.

This stirred up a complex mix of emotions in Matou Sakura, a feeling of being touched by the care she received, yet also of feeling helpless about being restricted—a bittersweet feeling.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing this, Lin Yu coughed lightly, breaking the slightly awkward silence, "Everyone, please go out first and let the two of them have a proper talk."
