A hero rescues a beautiful woman, and the beautiful woman then pledges her love to him. This has been a time-honored formula in literature and related creations for many years. No matter how it evolves, or how the plot is made to appear tortuous and moving, its core remains unchanged.
Many people, both male and female, have fantasized when they were young about becoming the male or female protagonist in such works, longing to become the savior or the rescued who is the focus of everyone's attention.
But when they grow up, this fantasy and longing will gradually fade away, because the four words "hero saves beauty" seem simple, but in fact they have a very high threshold - the one who saves must be a hero, and the one who is saved must be a beauty, so that they are considered a good match.
If not... maybe he would save the person, but it's hard to say whether he would marry her. If she is not a hero, she may not be willing to marry him. If she is not a beauty, she may not want him even if he is promised. This is the same as the beautiful female characters in fairy tales who are always married by princes.
Shinji understood this principle very early on, so after a moment of confusion he quickly faced the reality.
Is Luvia a beauty? There is no doubt that even in the Clock Tower where the quality of women is generally high, she is a gorgeous flower that attracts the attention of many male creatures. In the El-Melloi classroom alone, Shinji saw more than once someone asking Luvia's old acquaintance Flat for news about her.
So the question is, is Shinji a hero? It's hard to say. For Sakura, Fujino and Kirie, who have experienced tragic experiences and have never seen the world, Shinji is undoubtedly a hero who saved them from suffering. But for Luvia, who was born into a noble family and received an elite education since childhood, Shinji is still far from the standard of a hero.
After two moderate rescues, no, to be precise, they were not rescues, but only helping hands, he expected her to marry him? All he could say was that the sun was still hanging overhead, and the temperature in the wild was so low, so he should stop daydreaming.
Therefore, Shinji's heart was not shaken at all.
Of course, he was not in a hurry to correct it. It was a real pleasure to have his arms hugged by a beauty like Luvia. Luvia had a very well-developed figure, not inferior to Elquet's.
While he was quietly making a fortune, someone on the other side couldn't stand it anymore - it was Rin.
The red girl laughed exaggeratedly and said sarcastically, "Dating and finding a boyfriend is not the way you do. Even I, who have no dating experience, know this. This is not a question of cultural customs, but a question of basic common sense."
The blue girl knew that this was not right, but she didn't want to lose face in front of her enemy, so she tried to explain herself.
"Oh, oh! I know that, but a relationship always has a beginning. This is my beginning, which is better than yours having no beginning at all."
"But I think this beginning will soon come to an end. Your first love in your life will end in failure."
"Whether I fail or not is none of your business. Or are you just waiting for me to fail, and then pursuing him yourself? This is in line with the tradition of your Tohsaka family."
At once, Luvia poked Rin's two explosive points, causing her twin tails to break free from gravity.
"I like him? What a joke! He is my enemy, how can I like him?"
"It's OK if you don't like it. The rest is between him and me."
Luvia deliberately patted her chest, exhaled, and continued to apply eye drops to Rin while her breasts moved.
"Hey, Shinji, we are friends now, why don't you invite me to your house? I haven't officially visited any Japanese magician families yet... By the way, I also want to meet your family, as a future girlfriend."
Oh my god, are you addicted to this? You are playing with fire, you know that? Watch out, I will... Well, there is really nothing I can do.
Shinji smacked his lips helplessly. The matter of Altria had not yet been resolved, and with Luvia, life would be unbearable.
It's not impossible for her to visit my home, but she must be formally invited as an ally. Forget about the future girlfriend, because I already have a real girlfriend.
Shinji made up his mind and calmly adjusted his arm, preparing to cool down the excited Luvia. However, before he could do anything, a "basin of cold water" was poured on his head.
"What is a future girlfriend? Can you explain it to me, Brother!"
A voice that is sweet yet contains a low pressure, a gentle and polite yet oppressive aura, all of these are standard features of Sakura, and this is Sakura who is on the verge of turning evil.
Listen, the sister who has always been sticking to her brother, no longer calls him "brother" but uses a respectful title instead. This is enough to prove the anger in Sakura's heart.
Oh no, why is Sakura here? This is the end - am I, Shinji Matou, going to die before accomplishing my great mission
Shinji shuddered at the time and turned his head awkwardly. Sure enough, he saw his sister smiling and staring at his embraced arm with burning eyes. He could not help but quickly pull his arm out and asked with a dry laugh: "Sakura, why are you here? Don't you want to go shopping?"
"I just finished shopping and went home when I heard... that my brother was here. I was worried that my brother was in danger, so I..."
"Ahahaha, how could someone as powerful as your brother be in danger?"
"Yeah, Sakura is too naive. Brother is so good, especially when it comes to dealing with women...why don't you introduce this lady to me?"
Sakura maintained her smile while looking at Luvia, who spoke to her with standard social etiquette.
"Luvia Celinta Edelfeldt, you can just call me Luvia. Nice to meet you, I guess you must be Shinji's sister."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Matou Sakura." Even in this state, Sakura's manners were still impeccable. "May I ask what is the relationship between Miss Luvia and my brother? Why are you here this time..."
Before Sakura could finish her question, Rin, who was beside her, had already rushed over and hugged her.
"Wuwuwu, Ying, your brother and that woman bullied me, look at my clothes... Wuwuwu."
How else can they be called rivals? Luvia could think of using Shinji to attack Rin, and Rin could naturally think of using Sakura to target Shinji. In order to achieve her goal, she would not hesitate to deliberately play the victim.
At any other time, Ying might not believe it. After all, she was her elder sister and she had lived with her for so many years. She knew her personality very well and she knew immediately that her sister's cries were fake.
However, Rin does look miserable, and the torn clothes on her body are not fake. In addition, it is related to this beautiful woman who suddenly appeared, seemed very close to her brother, and claimed to be her brother's future girlfriend.
Sakura didn't expose her sister and just looked at Shinji.
"What on earth is going on, Brother?"
