[Fate] Falling Sun

When Karna first saw a visiting visitor, he knew right away who this person was.

With nearly 90% of Mio's exquisite facial features and blue eyes that are the same color as the sky, she looks like a short-haired version of Mio, but her height has reached the standard of a man's height.

"Ri, why didn't you inform me first?" Mio skillfully brewed green tea, and pushed the hot tea in front of her younger brother who was already seated.

And Karna has already turned into a spirit body, secretly observing the movement in the house.

"Because I want to give Mio a surprise." Ritsu picked up the teacup and sniffed the tea. "Changed to another tea shop this time?"

"As expected of Ritsu, you can smell it like this." Mio also sat down. "However, is Ritsu planning to hang out with me later?" The girl asked about her brother's intentions.

"That's not true." Ritsu took a sip, and sure enough, the authentic Japanese green tea is completely different from the British black tea. It's no wonder my father always kept nagging about bringing ten cans back for stock. "I want to ask Mio something."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Where did Mio go last night?" Ritsu's blue eyes stared at the black-haired girl like a falcon.

"………………………" Probably because she rarely felt her younger brother's aura that was different from usual, the girl seemed to be stunned for a second before responding. "Me? I was yesterday... I was at home yesterday." Mio raised a smile, but her eyes wandered away.

"Oh? Really? Then I came to look for you last night, but you weren't here." Lil took another sip of tea. The habit of this sister who was born 2 minutes earlier than her has not changed since she was a child. About lying.

"Then, I must have fallen asleep! Why didn't you call first to inform me!" The girl's voice became a little unsteady.

"Oh? Also, is there too many bowls in the sink? Were there any guests just now?" Ritsu continued to ask calmly.

"...I just had dinner with my friends." The snowball got bigger and bigger.

"Oh? But I didn't see your friend go out just now, are you still here? Why don't you sit and chat together?"

“…………………………”

"It's so hard to answer... Mio, could it be Kanaya Zangjiao?" Ritsu laughed.

"What a jerk! Tell me where the jerk came from──I said you are checking work!?"

"I'm just concerned about my dear sister's friendship status. Do you have a boyfriend... No, do you have a little boy?"

"What—what a jerk! Lil!! It's none of your business that I have a boyfriend!!!" Mio was irritated and clenched her fists with her face blushing. He loves to bully her, and only those with real brothers will not understand what the people who are under the control of their brothers are thinking.

Even Karna, who is in the form of a spirit, feels that listening to this conversation is too uncomfortable... Smiling.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Ritsu seemed to think that the trouble was enough, and he seemed in a particularly good mood.

"Hmph, did you come here today to hurt your sister?" Mio puffed up her cheeks angrily, her appearance reminded me of a cute hamster.

"Of course not, I'm just here to be Sherlock Holmes—just kidding." Ritsu snapped her fingers. "Come out, Assassin."

The man with the red hood immediately appeared next to Ritsu.

"You..." Mio showed a look of astonishment, and recognized that this man was the servant who saved her last night.

"It seems that we know each other." Ritsu clasped his hands against his chin, so that he could look at the two in front of him leisurely.

"Ri, could it be that you...!" Mio looked back and forth in panic at the one person and one heroic spirit in front of her, saying that her younger brother is the Assassin master and slave who has been hiding in the dark all this time──!

"Okay, Mio." Ritsu waved his hands, with an expression of "stop pretending".

Now all the lies just now have been exposed.

Mio called out Lancer with complicated emotions.

"...Nice meeting, Master of Assassin." Shi Yu's hero appeared from the girl's side.

"Ah, it's really a badass──I'm sorry, please don't mind, just call me Ritsu." Ritsu laughed, although it was rude, but he really couldn't control his smile.

"So, the barrier here was originally made by you." It was an affirmative sentence, not a question sentence, and the white-haired youth finally got the answer.

"That's right, a very sharp Servant. When the Holy Grail War is about to start, I'll be ready." Ritsu flicked his fingers again, and the whole room flickered like glass lights.

"Lil..." The girl looked at her younger brother hesitantly.

"When I knew that the Holy Grail War was about to start in Fuyuki City where you live, I hurried over here to set up the barrier." He finished his last sip of tea. "But what I didn't expect was that you actually joined the battle."

"I'm the one who was surprised—why did Ritsu also participate in the Holy Grail War? Could it be that you were also chosen by the Holy Grail to fill up the number!? The chance is too coincidental...or is it contagious?"

"That's not the case." Except for Mio, the three people present said the same sentence at the same time.

Then fell into a subtle brief silence.

"Hey, since Mio said that, then it's a coincidence that you summoned the Servant──" Ritsu cleared his throat. "But you are not a magician, how do you know how to summon servants?"

So the girl told her brother all the ins and outs.

"Ri, I just wanted to ask why you participated in the Holy Grail War..."

"About this point, I also have something to explain." Ritsu raised his hand, as if preparing to give a long explanation.

The father of the twin sisters is an out-and-out magician.

Because in Japan, I met the daughter of the Amane family who has devoted herself to the gods for generations, but after they got married, they divorced because of various ideas. My father, who is a magician, may think that my mother's spirit is quite good. The mother's body can give birth to an excellent next generation to continue the family blood, but being married together is a neutral zone after the impact of two family values, and they can only be separated if they cannot be reconciled.

So my father took the most suitable lawyer "in terms of magician qualifications" and went to England to further his studies.And Mio was left behind by her mother as the only blood to inherit the family business in the future.

"So Dad... is a magician?" Mio, who was completely unaware, looked quite surprised.

"Yes. There is a tradition in the magician's family. Only one of the children will be taught as the continuation of the magician. The mystery of magic──is a confidential matter for other children." Li looked a little annoyed and turned his head away. . "I didn't expect you, Mio, to be involved...otherwise this is something you would never have known in your entire life."

"However, it's too late to leave now...Run, I'm not interested in the final reward of this war, I just hope to live and return to the peaceful life before." The girl firmly told her brother her wish. "But Ritsu...do you want the Holy Grail?"

"...Yes, I do want the Holy Grail, but that's not something I can tell you." Speaking of this, Ritsu seemed to have a stubborn emotion. "Since it is confirmed that you are not my enemy, then I will protect you as well."

"Wait... If I say that I am also interested in the Holy Grail, will you kill me without mercy?" Mio said angrily.

"I'm not as cold-blooded as a real magician, but I will try my best so that you can't stop me." Ritsu spread his hands, showing a helpless look. "For now, let Mio be my comrade in arms."

"Although I understand that this war is really not a fantasy of the second illness, but if it turns into a brother-in-law fight, it would be really bad fun..." The black-haired girl in front of her muttered quite dissatisfied. "But since we're talking about comrades-in-arms, Ritsu already knows that I have an Archer master who formed an alliance with me, right?"

"Hmph, if that can be called an alliance, is your brain a vase for decoration?" The younger brother with the same appearance relentlessly complained. "That uncle was just using you at best, but he probably didn't expect that you, a layman, could summon a Heroic Spirit of the same rank as him."

"...Huh?" The girl seemed confused.

"... To be honest, I'm also a little jealous, although I know from the past that you have won the first prize in the first prize, the second prize in the lottery, and the pharaoh-level game with five stars more than four stars, even Big and small lottery draws will take home three or more prizes, such a special skill with a high degree of luck..." Ritsu propped his cheeks, with a look of resignation. "But in this Holy Grail War, you did summon a servant with a very high level of spirit."

Mio glanced at Lancer at the side, even if Ritsu said so, she didn't quite feel it—after all, she had never seen Lancer fight seriously.

"And that uncle didn't teach how to transfer magic power to your servants, did he? But this kind of thing is indeed the basic of the basics, and maybe the uncle himself ignored it."

"That's right! That's what I wanted to ask! What should I do?" Since someone who could ask was right in front of her eyes, Mio forced her to ask like a drowning person catching driftwood.

"What's the hurry, I'll teach you how to open the magic circuit later." Ritsu sighed. "If Dad or the Magic Association find out about this matter, it will be a big deal... But for your life, the servant who can stably supply you with magic is the most important priority right now."

"Well, I see. Then I'll trouble Ritsu!" Mio seemed relieved and smiled slackly.

"...Then I'll go out to check the situation outside first." Assassin, who was sensible, disappeared in a short time.

Seeing Assassin leave, Lancer didn't understand why he was running so fast, but he could understand that now wasn't the time to disturb the siblings, so he obediently transformed into a spirit body.

"Okay, I'm going to get through your second line of Ren and Du first~ I'm just kidding." The black-haired boy pointed to the neck. "Our family's magic circuit has always been on the nape of the neck, you should expose it first so that I can get through it."

"It's really troublesome for girls..." Mio thought for a while, turned her back to her younger brother, took off her shirt, and pulled her long hair in front of her. "Is that all right?"

“………………………………”

"Run?" Mio turned her head and looked at her younger brother suspiciously.

"...Let me tell you, take it off as soon as you say it, don't you have any shame? There are men here anyway." Li raised his eyebrows and stared at his sister with his arms crossed.

"What does it matter that you are my younger brother? Besides, you watched it when you were a child, so are you shy now?" Mio was puzzled by his younger brother's sudden words.

"I have nothing to do with my mouth—Lancer, you are still in the room, right?" Lily said loudly.

"…………………Sorry." There was another voice in the air.

"........." Mio was silent for three seconds now. "Lancer, I thought you went out with Assassin?" The girl tightly covered her chest with her clothes.

"Mio, you didn't give this order." The implication was that he was just waiting in the room, just like usual.

"...Then you get out now──wait a minute, where were you standing just now?" The girl's face slowly turned crimson.

"...I'm going out." Karna who left these words never responded.

And Lil had already laughed and collapsed on the sofa beside him, "I think he can even see the color of your underwear~" Not good, he was about to burst into tears from laughing.

"Shut up!" Mio is now like a cat with fur.
