Guixu watched the others walk down, lowering his head in brief contemplation.
Aoi glanced at her two daughters. Sakura's expression was calm, showing no fear whatsoever about going to the battlefield. Rin, on the other hand, puffed out her cheeks in sheer frustration. She was the older sister—she was supposed to protect her little sister! Yet somehow, Sakura had become so strong before she even noticed, capable of going onto the battlefield all by herself while Rin was left stuck at home, waiting idly with their mother. It was completely humiliating for an older sister! Consequently, Rin was currently fuming all by herself.
Aoi looked at Sakura with deep worry, her heart heavy with unsayable emotions. For her daughters to be heading to the battlefield at such a tender age—to say she wasn't worried would be a lie. But even more than worry, she felt the helpless frustration of a mother who could only stand by and watch. She was merely an ordinary person. Back in the Tohsaka family, she had neither the qualification nor the aptitude to learn their magecraft. So when a crisis like this arose, she could only rely on the protection of others, leaving a bitter taste in her mouth—especially when she saw her young daughters stepping up to protect them.
