Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 62 Kenneth's Visit
At the Kamiya family's dining table.

Sakura looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her nervously and anxiously. She subconsciously held her breath and waited quietly for her answer.

"…a new mother?"

As if puzzled by Sakura's words, Qiong repeated in a low voice, a look of confusion emerging on her previously expressionless face.

"Why do you call me that?"

“Eh… isn’t it?”

Sakura couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise at this unexpected answer, and when she realized she had misunderstood, she blushed immediately.

"I'm so sorry, because Dad has always been alone, so I..."

Not daring to look into the girl's clear eyes, Sakura lowered her head and explained hesitantly.

At this moment, her heart was full of regret. She shouldn't have been so impulsive just now.

"It's ok."

Facing the black-haired little loli's apology, Qiong shook her head indifferently, and then said softly, "I am my brother - You's sister, not your new mother."

Last night, Kamiya Yu told Qiong everything about the situation at home.

So, she knew everything about Sakura.

'Dad's sister?'

But Sakura was even more confused, she blinked and asked cautiously.

"But I've never heard Dad say that he has a younger sister or anything..."

"Because I just found out about it not long ago." Kamiya Yu's voice sounded quietly in the restaurant.

"Ugh——!"

Sakura seemed to be startled by the sudden sound, her petite body trembling slightly. She turned her head and found that Kamiya Yu was standing behind her, looking at them gently.

Qiong still looked calm, as if she had expected his appearance.

"A long time ago, our Kamiya family had to move from other places to Fuyuki City due to some circumstances." Kamiya Yu reached out and touched Sakura's little head, explaining with a smile, "During that period of exile, many members of the Kamiya family were separated."

"And Qiong is the descendant of those tribesmen who were stranded abroad..."

After telling Sakura about his fabricated identity and experience, Kamiya Yu said in a gentle tone, "So, from today on, Qiong is our new family."

"You two should get along well."

"Yeah, I understand." After listening to his story, Sakura nodded vigorously and said seriously, "I will get along well with Sister Qiong in the future."

Hmm? Sister Qiong?
Why does it sound a little wrong?

When he heard Sakura addressing Qiong, a strange look appeared on Kamiya You's handsome face.

If we calculate by age, Qiong must be over a thousand years old...

But he did not deliberately correct Sakura's mistake. After all, if you really want to be picky, the silver-haired girl in front of him could be considered to have just been born.

…………

In the afternoon, at the door of Kamiya's house.

A special guest is lingering at the gate of the mansion.

Looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, Kayneth hesitated whether to go in and seek Kamiya Yu's help. However, when he said help, he actually just wanted to ask Kamiya Yu to stop Rider from suddenly attacking him when he challenged Emiya Kiritsugu.

As he thought more deeply, the anger was like burning sulfuric acid, slowly corroding Kenneth's heart.

He was a first-rate magician, and logically speaking, he would never lose his composure due to emotion, especially when facing a formal competition.

In fact, if this battle was a duel between top magicians using all their skills, Kenneth might not be so angry.

He would admire and be in awe of his competitor's skills, calmly assess his enemy's true strength, and wholeheartedly perform appropriate magic to counter his enemy's secret techniques. This noble and dignified gentleman's competition was the "battle" that Kenneth was familiar with.

He was not very interested in the so-called Holy Grail that could fulfill all wishes. Instead, he came all the way to this remote country in the Far East in order to compete with Tohsaka Tokiomi, Kamiya Yu, and four other competitors.

However, what happened last night seemed to mock and insult Kenneth, and continued to hurt his proud heart.

——That kind of thing is definitely not worthy of being called a battle.

It was like stepping on rotten floorboards, like knocking over a cooking pot, like getting mud on your only good piece of clothing.

The other party was a degenerate who had tarnished magic, a filthy and unpleasant piece of trash whose mere presence was contaminated by the sight.

With murderous intent towards Emiya Kiritsugu boiling in his heart, Kenneth gritted his teeth and stepped forward to press the doorbell of the Kamiya residence.

…………

"What a rare visitor, Kenneth. I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative."

Gently placing the black tea in his hand on the coffee table opposite, Kamiya Yu looked at Kenneth with an expressionless face and said with some surprise.

"Is there something you want to ask of me?"

"...You guessed right." Kenneth's expression darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "I came to you this time because I really want your help with something."

"Hmm? Considering your personality, you're so frank today. It seems Emiya Kiritsugu really pissed you off."

Sensing the anger in Kenneth's tone, Kamiya Yu was surprised. It was the first time he saw this proud monarch lose his composure like this.

"It's no problem for me to help you, but I want to know what happened last night that made you so angry." Kamiya Yu asked curiously.

In the original story, the magic workshop that Kenneth carefully prepared was blown up by Kiritsugu Emiya, but he did not show such deep hatred.

Could it be that the woman named Sora was seriously injured in the attack last night?

"Hmph." Faced with his question, Kenneth snorted coldly and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Finn, who was guarding on the side, to explain.

"Well, let me explain the reasons."

After receiving Kenneth's order, Finn smiled elegantly and then spoke seriously.

"Although the attack by that despicable villain last night didn't take our lives, the Master's wife was unfortunately seriously injured and is on the verge of death."

"Thanks to the timely treatment provided by the Master and me, Madam has recovered."

When mentioning the existence of Emiya Kiritsugu, a look of disgust appeared on Finn's handsome face. As an upright hero, he always hated these sinister villains who stabbed him in the back.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who used such despicable means, undoubtedly crossed his bottom line.

"That's it, I understand."

After listening carefully to Finn's story, Kamiya Yu nodded and promised, "I will lend you a helping hand in the next battle."
