Chapter 521 - Chapter 521: A Family Combo? Touka and Sakura Protecting the Tohsaka Family

When Tohsaka Touka saw that Tohsaka Sakura wasn't listening to her, she immediately became extremely anxious.

Sakura had been withdrawn since childhood, quiet and reserved. Being a bit introverted and stubborn was actually quite normal.

Recently, Sakura had started treating Hachiman as the father she never had growing up. Under his guidance, she had become much more cheerful. Not only did she show more expressions when facing her, she had also made a few friends in class.

For that, she was very grateful to Hachiman. Even if he didn't have the ability to turn her into a magical girl, she would still be willing to repay him.

At first, she didn't even know he had such a magical ability. As long as he could help her protect the Tohsaka family's legacy and keep her mother and her two younger sisters safe, she would already be satisfied.

It was just that, in private, she could serve Hachiman more devotedly. No matter what he wanted, she would do her utmost to satisfy him. But she absolutely did not want to act like that in front of Sakura.

With how this hide-and-seek game was going tonight, if she couldn't drag Sakura away soon, she might lose control again.

By then, not only would she completely lose face in front of Sakura and all her dignity as an older sister, Sakura might even end up becoming Hachiman's magical girl too.

Jingle~ Jingle~

Hearing the trembling sound of bells suddenly ringing beside her, Kiriya Fujino, who had been quietly lying nearby waiting, lifted her head. Her delicate, refined face was flushed red, and after being soaked with sweat, her smooth hair clung to her fair, slender neck.

"Miss Tohsaka, you don't actually need to worry that much. Sakura just wants to depend on Master. The more you try to stop her, the more she'll want to get close to him."

Looking at Sakura, who was clinging tightly to Hachiman and refusing to let go, Fujino's hazy eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke to stop Touka, who was about to forcibly teleport Sakura away.

Before Touka could react, the long, slender tail that had been wrapped tightly around Hachiman shifted and instead coiled around Touka's waist, pulling her onto Fujino's back.

Hachiman's ears twitched. He pulled Touka into his arms and, relying on his familiarity with her, directly kissed her moist, soft lips right in front of Sakura.

"?"

Touka's pupils shrank abruptly. She covered her mouth tightly with both hands, leaving only the golden bell on her red collar around her neck ringing nonstop.

"It's fine if Sakura doesn't want to leave. Just stay obediently to the side and watch your sister play the game."

Fujino let out a soft breath and turned her head to smile at Sakura.

"Big Sister Fujino, can't I play too?"

Sakura didn't move to help her sister escape Hachiman's hold. Instead, her eyes stared fixedly at Fujino, whose smooth, full forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, whose delicate face was flushed an alluring red, and whose light, thin kimono clung tightly to her petite body.

In terms of figure, her elder sister was definitely superior. Kimono didn't suit girls with overly good figures. But this Fujino was far more aggressive than her sister.

"This is a game your sister is playing with us. It's not really suitable for you to join. Mm… if you really want to take part, you can watch and learn how to play. When your sister gets tired, you can help out from the side. There's no need to join right now."

Fujino pressed her hands against the smooth floor, quietly feeling the warmth and dampness beneath her, and smiled slightly at Sakura.

"Oh, right. Sakura, you should call me Sister Fujino. There are six 'Sister Kiriya's, so if you just say that, they won't know who you're calling."

"Okay, Sister Fujino."

Sakura looked at Touka lying on Fujino's back, tightly covering her mouth, her jet-black hair hanging down to hide her face, too embarrassed to meet her gaze. Her doll-like, delicate and cute round face remained calm.

But when she lifted her head slightly and met Hachiman's gaze that seemed to pierce through his blindfold and fall on her, her expression immediately became filled with excitement.

"Looks like Father really likes Big Sister… it's making Sakura a little jealous…"

Sakura ran behind Hachiman, wrapped her slender, fair arms around his neck, and pressed her soft body against his back. Her barely audible voice whispered into his ear like a little devil.

"But Father, are you really satisfied with just Big Sister alone?"

"Right now, Rin is in your room, lying on your bed~"

'Rin is on my bed?'

Hearing Sakura's barely concealed devilish whisper, Hachiman, who had been savoring Touka's lips, froze.

Because Touka cherished her two younger sisters, even though he liked sisters very much, he had never taken things further with Tohsaka Rin or Sakura. After all, Touka's character mission, "Tohsaka Family Household Affairs," was to help her protect the Tohsaka family.

As long as he focused on developing Touka's strength, that goal should be achievable. It didn't necessarily require conquering the other sisters.

But now it seemed his thinking was wrong. The initiative of the mission wasn't in his hands, but in the Tohsaka sisters'.

Sakura actually wanted to help him take down Rin?

Was it because his dependency-inducing affinity was too strong? Or did Sakura have some other motive for dragging Rin into this?

Judging from Sakura's behavior, completing "Tohsaka Family Household Affairs" might require taking down all three sisters, Touka, Rin, and Sakura.

Not that he disliked a full Tohsaka family set.

On the contrary, perhaps influenced by the Kaede and Suzu sister pair, or by his childhood friends from the countryside, he had always had a strong interest in the "sisters" attribute. Aside from the black long straight hair trait, there were many beautiful girls with sister dynamics in the Service Club.

Now that Sakura could help him take Rin, it was naturally a good thing. Adding Sakura herself, and Touka whom he had already claimed, if all three Tohsaka sisters became magical girls, then protecting the family would surely be achievable.

Of course, Sakura, with her scheming little devil personality, wasn't like Airi, a warm and caring type. Selling out her own sister to please him likely meant she had other intentions.

Just as that thought arose, Sakura, who had been staring fixedly at him, noticed that he was only surprised about Rin being on the bed and didn't show any obvious temptation. Instead, he turned to look at her in confusion.

Even though the blindfold still covered his eyes, Sakura could clearly feel his "gaze."

Seeing this, Sakura changed her tone. She parted her lips slightly, gently biting his ear, her eyes fixed on him as he kissed both Fujino and Touka at the same time.

"Father, you wouldn't want Mother to find out about this, would you?"

"?"

Hearing Sakura's somewhat muffled but shocking statement, Hachiman was completely stunned. Only Fujino and Touka continued clinging to him, reluctant to let go.

He had never expected Sakura to say something like that. Or rather, he never expected her to use her own mother to "threaten" him.

Well, Sakura's mother would naturally be Tohsaka Aoi.

They had met once at the banquet where he saved Rurikawa Tsubaki. A gentle, elegant, virtuous classical beauty, she had been standing together with Yukinoshita Haruno's mother.

Sakura called him Father, so in theory, her mother could be considered his wife. But that was only in theory.

In reality, he had no relationship with Aoi at all. They had barely met and were completely unfamiliar.

Sakura had lost her father at a young age and lacked paternal love, so under his influence, she had simply treated him as a father figure who radiated security.

Even Rin hadn't acknowledged him as a father, only treating him as an older brother. Touka treated him as a younger brother. And now Sakura wanted to report him to her mother?

It wasn't entirely without issue. After all, he had been involved with Aoi's daughters, even playing a father-daughter role. But clearly, that alone wasn't enough for Sakura to truly threaten him.

What troubled him more was whether Sakura really saw him as her father, not just playing around.

Otherwise, why would she bring Aoi into this?

Yet she had also put Rin on his bed.

Could it be that in the "Tohsaka Family Household Affairs" mission, Aoi was meant to be the victim?

And he would have to hide the truth from his "wife" while enduring the three sisters and silently protecting the family?

If he had understood Sakura's thoughts earlier, he might have chosen to let all three sisters become his devoted little angels.

But now he had already taken Touka.

At that thought, Hachiman's mood became complicated. Still, he felt he needed to talk to Sakura properly.

"Sakura, why is Rin on my bed?"

Hachiman shifted Touka and Fujino to let them rest for a moment, reducing the constant ringing of the bell collar, then turned to "look" at Sakura, who was leaning against his shoulder and breathing into his ear.

Rin was about the same age as Komachi and the others. Even if she had a high level of affection for him, with her tsundere personality, she wouldn't just clean herself up and crawl into his bed.

The only possibility was that Sakura had "arranged" it.

Maybe even tying her hands and feet to the bed, like how Kaede had been betrayed before.

If he really took the bait and went back to his room, he might walk straight into Sakura's carefully prepared "crime scene."

"Why is she on your bed?"

Sakura lightly bit his ear as she hugged him from behind, her gaze falling on Touka, who resembled their mother in her elegant, virtuous demeanor.

Unlike usual, Touka's hair was disheveled, her chest rising unevenly, her expression broken, the corners of her lips unconsciously lifted. She had completely lost the cold beauty of a black-haired lady and instead looked immersed in desire.

Looking down at Touka, who had been the most doted on by Hachiman in the family, Sakura expressionlessly asked:

"Then can Father answer Sakura, why is Big Sister out all night, appearing here?"

"Sakura, are you jealous?"

Hachiman sighed inwardly but still spoke up for Touka.

"It's not that she doesn't want to include you. It's just that you have school tomorrow, and your body isn't strong enough to stay up late."

Because he knew Sakura's personality wasn't as obedient as she seemed. Her words could be jealousy, dislike toward Touka, or simply an act to lure him into taking all of them.

Even though she appeared quiet and gentle, that didn't change her little devil nature.

Otherwise, what kind of shut-in would tie up her own sister and place her on someone else's bed?

It seemed the sense of security he had given her had awakened something darker.

"Doesn't Shion also have school tomorrow? And doesn't Big Sister have university work to do?"

"Why can they, but I can't? Father is biased!"

"If it's about liking the new and discarding the old, then Father should like me more. Or is it because my figure isn't as good as theirs, so you don't like me?"

Hearing Sakura's accusations, Hachiman felt speechless.

Calling him fickle in this situation was absurd. Looking at all the girls in the Service Club, whom he tirelessly helped day and night, how could he be that kind of person?

As for not liking Sakura, that was even more ridiculous.

Though she hadn't entered her rapid growth phase yet and lagged behind Touka and the others physically, given the family genetics, she had nothing to worry about.

But while he was thinking, Sakura had already moved from behind him to in front, sitting atop Fujino's back, wrapping her slender arms tightly around his neck, whispering again:

"You can't refuse… otherwise I'll tell Mother about you, Big Sister, and Sister Rin."

"Right now, Rin is tied up in your room, waiting on your bed for you."

"…"

Hachiman didn't react immediately. He simply held Sakura's soft body, pinched her slender fingers, and lowered his head to press against her nose, guiding her personally.

He wasn't worried about being exposed. Nor was he afraid of Rin's situation being blamed on him.

Tohsaka Aoi wasn't his wife. She had no authority over him.

A simple line like, "Madam, you wouldn't want your daughters," would likely be enough to control her instead.

What he was really considering was Sakura.

Whether she was acting or not, her affection for him was undeniable.

At this point, rejecting her would be inappropriate.

Not to mention the mission, but her scheming little devil nature, dragging her own sister into this, was something he found very appealing.

He needed to properly "guide" her.

Still, Touka clearly didn't want Sakura involved. To avoid misunderstanding, he needed to make it clear that Sakura was acting on her own.

While savoring Sakura's lips, distinct from her sister's, he removed the sensory-linked anklet from Fujino and placed it onto Sakura's ankle.

Click!

Her black hair was damp with sweat, her eyes slightly open, lips pursed as if still lingering on the feeling.

Touka lay on the warm, damp floor, staring blankly at the neon-lit ceiling.

She was still immersed in the pleasure of what had just happened in front of her sister.

The situation itself was already shameful. Not to mention Hachiman's complicated identity.

She called him "little brother," he called her "Big Sister," appearing like siblings.

But in the Service Club, their relationship was closer to master and servant.

After all, the others called him Master, and she had no strong ties, no school, no family backing.

And unlike the others, she couldn't even bring her own sisters in to please him.

Yet despite all that, he had made her the first magical girl, giving her the power to protect her family.
