In the chat group, after listening to Tohsaka Rin explain her family's situation, everyone fell silent for dozens of seconds before digesting and absorbing the information.
[Madoka: "Such a complicated family situation."]
[Madoka: "I can't figure out what to do."]
Young Madoka couldn't handle such a complex situation.
Even though it was Tohsaka Tokiomi who wanted to send his daughter away, his original intention was completely for the child's future.
Considering that the worldview of mages and ordinary people were indeed vastly different, Tohsaka Tokiomi might truly want to give his child the greatest happiness he could comprehend.
But the result of doing this would be the separation of the sisters.
Never mind finding a solution to the problem - she didn't even know who was in the right.
As Tohsaka Tokiomi said, would it be right to deprive Sakura of the chance to inherit and embark on the path of magic?
[Kanae: "It's indeed a bit troublesome."]
[Kanae: "Setting aside right and wrong, under this kind of mindset, even if we stop it once, Sakura will still be sent away a second time."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Yes, that's currently the biggest problem."]
[Erica: "Your magic families really have so many rules!"]
[Erica: "On our side, it's basically free-range upbringing."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Envious."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "So, does everyone have any good suggestions?"]
Brainstorming with everyone was better than thinking alone.
After asking the question, Rin unconsciously cast expectant eyes toward Ryuga's avatar.
At this time, not disappointing her, Ryuga finally spoke up.
[Ryuga: "What are your own thoughts?"]
Having long understood the intelligence about the Tohsaka family, Ryuga vaguely sensed that Tohsaka Rin seemed to already have her own plan after hearing her repeat it.
[Tohsaka Rin: "I want to ask Ryuga-sama to help judge whether the Matou family is reliable or not."]
Facing Ryuga's inquiry, Tohsaka Rin immediately voiced her thoughts.
Unlike Tohsaka Tokiomi who blindly trusted the Matou family, she held basic wariness toward this unfamiliar magic family.
Mages' ethical concepts differed from ordinary people - it was best to understand clearly first.
[Tohsaka Rin: "If they're unreliable, we definitely can't choose this family."]
[Erica: "What if they are reliable?"]
[Erica: "Are you planning to compromise then?"]
Erica's expression showed some confusion and strangeness.
From her understanding, Rin wasn't the type to compromise so easily.
If she were willing to compromise, she wouldn't have asked for help so many times for her sister's sake.
However, what surprised her was—
[Tohsaka Rin: "There's no choice. Father's mindset is almost impossible to change."]
[Madoka: "That's true!"]
[Madoka: "But this can't be blamed on Rin-neesan."]
Madoka, also being a child, could understand Tohsaka Rin's difficulties well, so she quickly offered comfort.
However, Tohsaka Rin didn't need her comfort, because—
[Tohsaka Rin: "So, if the Matou family is trustworthy, then I'll personally be adopted over there myself, letting Sakura stay at home."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Sakura's personality is too gentle, she's easy to bully."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "I'm different, not to mention you're all here. Anyway, with my qualifications, I can also become a qualified heir!"]
In the living room, glancing at her sister holding hands with her, young Rin bit her lip and said these words.
This was also the optimal solution she could think of currently.
If someone had to be adopted out, then she was willing to replace her sister.
Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat shocked.
[Madoka: "Rin-neesan is so cool!"]
This kind of self-sacrificing behavior earned Madoka's strong admiration.
[Kanae: "Willing to choose to sacrifice yourself - Rin really is a good big sister!"]
As a fellow older sister, Kanae could understand Rin's feelings well.
[Erica: "I have to admit, that statement has half my bearing."]
[Erica: "However, have you considered what to do if your father doesn't agree to the exchange?"]
[Erica: "Although your qualifications are sufficient, magic also requires compatibility, right?"]
If the attributes don't match, it should also have considerable impact on future achievements.
Compared to the other two, Erica's considerations were undoubtedly more realistic.
And Tohsaka Rin had already considered this point.
[Tohsaka Rin: "My attributes are more suitable for inheriting the Tohsaka family legacy. Father definitely won't agree."]
[Madoka: "Then what should we do?"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "This depends on Ryuga-sama!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "If Ryuga-sama is willing to come over and give Father a good beating, with Ryuga-sama's overwhelming advantage, Father will definitely be willing to change his mind!"]
With a little devil-like smile at the corner of her mouth, young Rin voiced an incredibly simple and direct scheme.
[Erica: "?"]
[Kanae: "?"]
[Madoka: "?"]
[Erica: "Great filial piety, everyone! You're truly a filial daughter!"]
[Madoka: "I also think this is a bit too simple and brutal."]
[Madoka: "Directly attacking your own father isn't very good, right?"]
For a good child like Madoka, Tohsaka Rin's proposal was somewhat too unexpected.
[Kanae: "For the sake of my sister's safety, it's not incomprehensible."]
[Kanae: "After all, Rin has made such a big sacrifice. Her father only getting beaten up once should be relatively cost-effective... right?"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "..."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "As long as Father doesn't find out, it's not a problem!"]
The success rate just wasn't high, and Sakura's future had to be considered too.
Otherwise, Tohsaka Rin would prefer to ask Ryuga to beat up her father and make him give up the idea of adopting his daughter out.
Seeing that Tohsaka Rin's plan was generally complete, Ryuga suddenly glanced toward the Mediterranean direction and didn't raise any objections.
[Ryuga: "We can act according to your plan for now."]
[Ryuga: "How much longer do you need to wait on your end?"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "I asked - the Matou family people will arrive in about half an hour."]
[Ryuga: "Good, I happen to have a small problem to solve on my end too."]
[Ryuga: "I'll come over after resolving it."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Eh? Okay!"]
After nodding like a pecking chick in agreement, Rin and the other chat group members all showed puzzled expressions.
[Madoka: "Did Big Brother encounter some trouble?"]
[Kanae: "The 'small problem' Ryuga-sama mentioned... it won't be another deity descending, will it?"]
[Kanae: "@Erica."]
The reminded Erica looked completely confused.
[Erica: "I-I don't know!"]
[Erica: "We're currently at the magic association headquarters. What kind of problem could there be?"]
Speaking of which, Erica directly started a livestream, letting everyone see where she and Ryuga were located.
Then she looked up at Ryuga questioningly.
"Ryuga-sama, the small problem you mentioned is—"
Before the question was finished, Erica's phone rang. It was from an association member responsible for foreign relations.
As soon as the call connected, she heard the other party's very urgent tone.
"Miss Erica, this-this is terrible!"
"Stay calm. With the King here, what could be so panic-inducing?"
Erica's tone was steady.
"The Sword-The King of Swords! The King of Swords has returned!"
The association member's voice seemed to carry a trace of despair.
"Sir Andre just sent an emergency communication saying the King of Swords heard the King was here and ran over directly wanting to duel with the King!"
"Ah?"
Erica was stunned for two seconds, then rubbed her forehead slightly.
"So it's this idiot!"
There was no descent of a Heretic God this time - what came was a Campione.
