[Please come to my house and teach Gray her homework.]
One weekend, nearing the end of summer vacation, Miyu, who was cleaning the house, suddenly received a call from Naoki.
Although a different grade, Miyu was one level below Gray, but in terms of knowledge reserves, even Naoki was far below her. If Miyu wanted to, she could directly skip grades all the way to college.
'Could it be that the advanced problems are difficult?'
With that question in mind, after getting permission from Luvia, Miyu came to the Natsukawa family's house next door.
"You came quickly, Miyu. Sorry to trouble you."
In the living room, Naoki smiled at Miyu who sat across from him: "Although I can teach Gray, I thought you two are around the same age, so you teaching her could also strengthen your bond. Will it be too much trouble for you?"
"No, I've always received help from you, so I'm happy to help."
"Gray is upstairs; you can find her later. But before that, there's one thing I need to talk to you about. It's about you."
"About me?" Miyu tilted her head slightly in confusion, "Is it... about the Class Card?"
Naoki nodded: "You could say that. It's also related to the Class Card. Last night there was a bit of a problem at the Great Hole. I went to check it out, and then I found this lost girl—come in, Angelica."
Angelica?!
The name that came out of Naoki's mouth instantly made Miyu's face turn pale, her eyes immediately filled with deep fear and dread. Naoki thought that Miyu at this moment might be similar to Haibara Ai on the set of Conan.
And hearing Naoki's call, Angelica, who was as expressionless as usual, came out of the kitchen.
"Sapphire!"
Almost instantly upon seeing Angelica, Miyu pulled out her magic wand and immediately transformed into a magical girl, jumping to the door furthest from Angelica, staring at her with extreme vigilance.
Why?
Why was someone from the Ainsworth Family here?
She had already come to a parallel world, why still...
"No need to be so tense, Miyu."
Naoki's voice reached Miyu's ears.
"Angelica is no longer your enemy, and the Ainsworth Family is no longer your enemy."
"No longer... an enemy?" The usually intelligent Miyu didn't immediately understand the meaning of this sentence. "...What is Naoki-san saying?"
"Literally, you no longer need to worry about being captured by the Ainsworth Family. The Ainsworth Family can no longer affect you—the Ainsworth Family has been destroyed, last night."
Naoki recounted the events of last night: "Actually, it's been a long time. I secretly set up many traps in the Great Hole targeting the Ainsworth Family, aiming for them to immediately run into trouble when they arrived. After all, I went to the Root once before, so I know the Ainsworth Family's methods very well."
"Then last night, the Ainsworth Family came: Angelica, another one named Beatrice, and Darius Ainsworth. Although it was a bit tiring, besides Angelica, the other two have now been sent to heaven—no, according to their condition, it's probably more fitting for them to go to the underworld."
As he spoke, Naoki took out the Siegfried and Beatrice Flowerchild Class Cards and threw them to Miyu.
Quickly catching them, Miyu stared at the two cards in her hands in disbelief.
The Ainsworth Family was actually defeated just like that, without her realizing it, resolved so casually by Naoki? Even that Darius disappeared from the world?
Miyu truly felt like she was dreaming—no, she might not even dream about this situation. The Ainsworth Family had left too deep a shadow on her. Even in her dreams, she was terrified of them.
But now, this nightmare had vanished silently.
"Naoki-san... sniff..."
Tears welled up in her eyes, then turned into two streams flowing down her face. Holding the two Class Cards, Miyu even sobbed softly.
"Thank you... Naoki-san... truly... truly... thank you..."
This was Miyu's sincere expression of gratitude.
Taking a tissue box and approaching her, Naoki helped her wipe away her tears, then gently stroked her hair: "I didn't do anything you need to be grateful for. You didn't ask me to do anything, and I also had no reason to fight the Ainsworth Family, so this was basically my own initiative. Just think of it as me meddling in other people's affairs."
"Meddling... in... affairs... hahaha..." Miyu couldn't help but let out a small laugh, "Truly... thank you for your interference... Naoki-san."
"I told you there's no need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, go upstairs and help me teach Gray." Naoki laughed, "By the way, about Angelica... I plan to leave it up to you to decide."
"Eh?"
Miyu looked at the expressionless Angelica.
"Leave it up to me... why?"
"Because you are the one who was most deeply hurt by the Ainsworth Family. The Ainsworth Family has caused you great loss, and your brother was also seriously injured and imprisoned because of them. What the Ainsworth Family owes you, you must take yourself with your own hands. You don't mind, do you, Angelica?"
"It's up to you two; please disregard my thoughts."
Angelica's voice made Miyu feel a little unfamiliar. In her memory, although emotionless, Angelica shouldn't have been so utterly devoid of emotion, but the current her... Miyu just felt like she was a doll.
"I..."
Pausing for a moment, Miyu pursed her lips, then said: "Onii-chan... return Onii-chan to me, Angelica. That's my only request."
Miyu's brother—Emiya Shirou.
That was the only compensation Miyu wanted.
After a moment of silence, Angelica nodded: "I understand. However, Emiya Shirou is still imprisoned in the Ainsworth Family's dungeon. If I don't return to that world, I cannot return him to Miyu-sama."
"Meaning, we have to go to that world." Naoki looked at Miyu, "How about it, Miyu, do you want to go?"
"Yes!"
Without much hesitation, Miyu nodded strongly.
