Lily subconsciously stood up and wanted to follow, but Shajo Aige stretched out her hand and held her back.
(?_??)
She looked at Ai Ge in confusion, wondering why she was holding her back. The Master was clearly confused now, and she should be able to help.
As if seeing the doubt in her heart, Ai Ge shook her head gently,
"As for Ayaka, well... leave it to me and Mikael. After all, I will be sad to see my lovely sister depressed."
Mikael got up and went to the study. In the final analysis, the root cause of the dispute was that the head of the Shajo family did not allow Shajo Ayaka to participate in the Holy Grail War. It would be good to solve this problem from the root.
Dongdongdong——
He stretched out his hand, tapped it with his fingers, and then waited quietly for a response.
"come in."
A slightly tired voice came from behind the door.
Mikael opened the door and what he saw was the same study room as before. The decoration and layout were the same as they were ten years ago. The only difference was that they had become a little older under the erosion of time, but this was not the same.
The deducted item is like a fine wine that has settled and become more mellow.
Shajo Hiroki sat across from him, the sun shining through the window on his face, and the fine wrinkles on it were clearly visible.
"I made you laugh, Mikael-kun."
He sighed softly, which contained all kinds of complicated emotions.
"It's nothing. I don't think it's something worthy of ridicule for a father to worry about the safety of his children. Moreover, the Holy Grail War is indeed very dangerous for ordinary magicians. It's not surprising even if one loses his life."
Mikael sat opposite him. Compared with ten years ago, he had not changed at all. Time meant nothing to him, and true eternity would not be worn away by time.
"So I'm worried about Ayaka, worried about her being in danger, and I heard from her that there seems to be something like a tower trial in this Holy Grail War, which is a special existence that only the Master and Servants can see.
, it never appeared in the last Holy Grail War."
There was a layer of sadness on Shajo Hiroki's face. Now he is just a simple father.
"After all, for a magician, the unknown represents danger. If you don't have enough information to arrange in advance, if you just rush in recklessly, you won't even have the means to counterattack when an accident occurs."
"I was just afraid that Ayaka would be in danger, so I advised her to give up her qualifications as a Master and give up this Holy Grail War... Sigh."
He sighed heavily again. Obviously Ayaka was usually very obedient, but this was the first time in more than ten years that Ayaka had clearly expressed her rejection.
Should it be said that my daughter has grown up without knowing it and has her own ideas?
As a father, he really has mixed emotions at this time.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. The danger of the Holy Grail War is only for ordinary magicians, and of course it is limited to ordinary magicians."
As if he heard what Mikael meant, Hiroki Shajo raised his head and looked at Mikael.
"But you seem to have forgotten the existence of Aige and I. With our help, at least Ayaka will not be in danger of life, and the research of magic also needs practice. This time the Holy Grail War should be regarded as a part of Ayaka's life.
It’s time for a practical class.”
Hiroki Shajo fell into deep thought. As the winner of the last Holy Grail War, he believed that Mikael must have great strength.
Not only that, as far as he knew, there was no one else with the ability to travel through parallel worlds except the Demon Marshal in the Clock Tower. Of course, Mikael was definitely not the Gem Man himself, but he must have something to do with that person.
.
"Don't you still believe me?"
"No, it's just...Oh, forget it, that kid Ayaka is too obsessed with this matter and doesn't listen to my advice. If Mikael-kun can help me, I can relax."
After a series of battles between heaven and man, Hiroki Shajo finally agreed, but he did not see the seven sky-reaching towers reflected in Mikael's eyes.

Sajo Ayaka came to the glass greenhouse and looked at the delicate blooming flowers in dismay. She could understand why her father did not let her participate in the Holy Grail War, but she also had reasons why she had to participate in the Holy Grail War.
As if sensing her depression, the pigeons that were resting on the shelf flapped their wings and flew down, making a "coo" sound and rubbing their bodies against Ayaka's arm, as if to comfort her.
She stretched out her hand and stroked the pigeon's back, feeling the warmth of the white feathers, and her depressed mood inexplicably improved.
"Really, father, why can't he just listen to my thoughts."
She murmured quietly, feeling increasingly depressed when she thought of her father's tough attitude.
"Ayaka~~"
A familiar voice as sweet as a flower rang in my ears.
"--elder sister."
Sajo Ayaka was a little flustered. She was afraid that her sister would hear her complaining about her father behind her back, and she also felt a little apologetic.
It was obviously a long time before my sister returned home, and she encountered such an unpleasant thing.
The pigeon's body froze, as motionless as a stone sculpture. Compared with humans, this kind of ordinary animal is more sensitive to danger, and it instinctively sensed it from Shatiao Aige's body.
It's extremely dangerous.
"Ayakashi, I heard what you said when you complained about your father. My cute little Ayakashi actually spoke ill of my father behind his back. He has really turned into a bad boy. Sister, I am very angry."
Sajo Aige sat next to Sajo Ayaka and spoke in a gentle voice.
Sajo Ayaka couldn't help but feel a little confused, as if she had returned to her childhood. Her sister was like this at that time. She had never seen her mother, but in her heart, her mother must have been like her sister during her lifetime.
Beautiful, beautiful, sparkling and dazzling.
"I'm sorry, sister, I..."
Sajo Ayaka lowered her head subconsciously and clasped her hands tightly, like a child who had done something wrong.
——Although she looks more like a sister on the surface.
"Ah, I was just joking, Ayaka."
Shajo Aige stretched out her hand and stroked her sister's head, feeling the soft hair in her palm. She narrowed her eyes slightly, showing a bit of pleasure.
"Ayaka has grown up and has her own thoughts. It's normal. I'm very happy. How can I be angry with you? You are my lovely sister."
Compared with ten years ago, Ai Ge is still unable to understand the feelings between people very well now. In her heart, there are only two types of existence in the world, one is Mikael, and the other is
One is the other.
But this doesn't stop me from playing a good sister.
"If Ayaka has any troubles, how about talking to her sister? Maybe she can help."
Shatiao Aige bathed in the sunshine and smiled gently, just like a real good sister, ready to listen to the troubles in her sister's heart.
