I'm really not an old sword

"Okay, brother."

The sea of insects appeared again.

Matou Zouken watched his body slowly float above the sea of insects.

Looking at the insects below that were swarming and piling up into a small hill as if they had smelled something delicious, Matou Zouken understood something and screamed in fear.

“No no no no no!?”

......

"What exactly did you do to him?"

Hearing the screams in the basement that could be clearly heard through the door, Lin Qingsu was slightly shocked.

How could an old man who has been a bug for so long scream so passionately?

"It's just that he was turned into an ordinary person, and his senses were enhanced hundreds of times."

Lin Qingsu suddenly looked at her seriously: "Morgan."

"Ok?"

"Who are you planning to deal with by learning this?"

"Ah."

Morgan didn't answer and walked up to him.

She lowered her head, and the veil rose slightly with the movement, revealing her chin that was as exquisite as a work of art, and there seemed to be a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"I helped you treat this child, you owe me a favor."

Lin Qingsu was startled and looked down at the purple-haired little girl in her arms who was nervously clutching her clothes on her chest with her two small hands because of confusion and fear.

"What's up with her?"

"There are a lot of things going on in her body."

"What are you going to do with the favor?"

Because the screams were so miserable, Lin Qingsu subconsciously glanced at the basement door.

Morgan noticed his gaze: "Maybe."

Why are you so sure in your tone?

Forget it, it’s not my body anyway, so I’ll just treat it as practicing my endurance.

"I owe you a favor."

Morgan raised his hand, and gently touched Sakura Matou's forehead with his white, slender index finger, then retracted it.

Is this over?

Even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend to be tired enough so that I don’t feel that I’m being fooled.

"See you tomorrow."

Morgan's figure gradually faded.

Seeing Morgan leave, Lin Qingsu did not stay any longer. She covered Matou Sakura's ears and quickly left the Matou family.

"Is this the child you were talking about?"

Outside the Matou family mansion, Elsa was standing alone outside the car. When she saw Lin Qingsu coming out, she glanced at Matou Sakura with anger in her eyes.

"I didn't expect the people of the Matou family to be such beasts."

She sighed and said, "What are you going to do with her?"

"Send her home tomorrow during the day."

"Go home? Tohsaka's family? Her father sent her here, so if he sends her back, wouldn't it be a waste of his life?"

"His father is just a little bit stupid, but her mother and sister are pretty good."

"alright."

Elsa sighed.

Although she was upset looking at Sakura's lifeless eyes, she did not argue. She understood the child and knew how important a complete family was to the child. She could only hope that Tōsaka Tokiomi would stop doing such a stupid thing.

Come back home?

Sakura Matou raised her head belatedly and looked blankly at the big brother who was holding her.

From time to time, refreshing night breezes blow into the seaside town from the foot of the mountain.

Feeling the flow of the cold wind, Sakura Matou looked around, looking at the Matou residence in the distance. This was the first time she left there since she entered.

"go home?"

This was her first sentence. There was no excitement or excitement in her voice, only a hint of doubt in her bewilderment.

Lin Qingsu rubbed her little head: "Well, wait until tomorrow morning when your brother takes you home. I will take you to find your old sister and mother."

Matou Sakura looked at the man.

go home?

There were a lot of dark clouds tonight, no moon, and the mountains were very dark, but suddenly there was a very bright light in Matou Sakura.

This was the first time she relaxed and leaned into Lin Qingsu's arms.

"go home..."

......

Next chapter later.

Chapter 3: Privileges of Children (K)

"Miss, Miss, please go slower."

"Big brother, I want to ride!"

As soon as they returned to the Einzbern castle on the outskirts of Fuyuki City, the voices of a maid and a little girl were heard from the corner of the corridor.

The little girl with white hair and red eyes ran out excitedly.

Seeing Sakura Matou in Lin Qingsu's arms, she slowed down her pace a little, walked in front of Lin Qingsu and tilted her little head.

"Big brother, who is she?"

"Her name is Ying. She's staying here for one night. She's younger than you. She's your younger sister."

"Oh."

Illya nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly became excited and tugged at Lin Qingsu's pants.

"Then let's play hide-and-seek with my sister. I just found a great place! Big brother, you'll never find me!"

Hearing this, Lin Qingsu glanced at the girl in her arms.

Sakura Matou was still grabbing his clothes, looking very insecure.

"Are you sleepy?"

Matou Sakura shook her head.

"Would you like to play hide and seek together?"

"Ah."

Just as she was put down and her hand was grabbed, Sakura Matou raised her head. It was a white-haired girl who was slightly taller than her.

"My name is Illya. My brother said I'm older than you, so you can call me sister."

The girl said as she pulled her forward.

"I'll take you to a great place I just discovered."

The castle was very big, and Sakura Matou was pulled to run for a long time, looking at this new place while running.

It was dark, but unlike the dark home before, it was very bright here. The lights were glaring, so bright that it was blinding, but I liked it very much.

"What are you doing?"

"nice."

Sakura Matou raised her head, and Illya looked in the direction of her gaze in confusion. There was a crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the corridor, which was dazzlingly bright.

“It’s very beautiful.”

Illya muttered, and after looking at the girl for a while, she couldn't help rubbing her eyes because of the dazzle of the light.

"Mom said you can't stare at the light or the sun, or your eyes will get damaged."

Illya took Matou Sakura's hand again: "Time is running out, let's find a place to hide!"

I felt a very soft touch on my hand.

Sakura Matou turned her head and looked at the white hair and petite back of her sister who was taller than her in front of her. She recalled the bright lights, and finally her memory froze on that handsome big brother.

Maybe I really left there.

This was the first time that Sakura Matou had doubts. She looked at Illya's back and was pulled until she carefully followed her pace.

"Dang-dang-dang!"

It was a storage room with many cabinets stacked against the walls. Illya pulled Sakura under a cabinet in the corner and squatted down to feel around.

"There is."

Illya's eyes lit up, and she pulled out a secret compartment.

The compartment was large and empty, at least large enough for the two little girls, whose combined physical ages were less than fifteen years old, to lie down in it.

Illya compared her height to Sakura's and confirmed that they were just right. She smiled happily and said, "Come on, it's just right. Let's go in."

"I, I don't want to..." Looking at the dark space in the cabinet, Sakura instinctively took a step back.

"Huh? Why? Such a nice place?"

"I'm afraid of the dark."

"Is that so?" Illya pouted in distress. "But the three minutes are almost up, and there's no way I can find a good place."

After thinking for a while, Illya looked at Matou Sakura and said, "Why don't we give it a try? I'll accompany you. If it doesn't work, we can just leave and let Brother start over."

"Actually, the dark isn't that scary. I was afraid of it when I was a kid, but I managed to get through it with the help of my mom and aunt!"

Sakura Matou moved her lips slightly, wanting to refuse, but seeing Illya's expectant expression, she finally nodded.

"great!"

Illya happily hugged Sakura Matou, holding the girl's petite body, which was one-third smaller than her, and carefully carried her into the cabinet, then she crawled in as well.

"Come on, Ying, let's push on the top of the cabinet and move it in together!"

"Ah."

Finally, with the joint efforts of the two girls, the cabinet slowly closed.

And at the moment of closing, the last ray of sunlight disappeared. Matou Sakura's body trembled immediately and she looked at the pitch-black surroundings. It was as if she had returned to the Matou family where there was no sunlight for years, as if she had entered the dark dungeon again.

Sakura Matou couldn't help but tremble. She opened her mouth slightly and was about to scream when two small hands suddenly hugged her.

"It's okay, I'm here!"

As if sensing Matou Sakura's fear, Illya hugged the girl, who looked three years younger than her, like an older sister.

"Let me tell you, this place is amazing! It took me a whole day to find it. Big Brother will never find me this time!"

As she spoke, feeling Sakura's still trembling figure, Illya's excitement slowly faded: "Do you want us to go out and find another place? You look scared."

Hearing Illya's voice full of disappointment, Matou Sakura pursed her lips and said, "No, no need. I'll give it a try."

"Hehe, Sakura, you're awesome!"

Soon after, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

After wandering in the corridor for a while, he soon stopped at the door of the room.

The door was pushed open, and then Lin Qingsu's puzzled voice sounded outside: "Why is the light on here?"
