"Sakura, come here."
Hearing Shinji's call, Sakura timidly looked at her mother, then at her father. Seeing that her father had no objection, she walked over cautiously.
Looking at the girl's reserved look, Shinji felt helpless. After all, she was not his sister anymore, and her hair and eyes were not the familiar purple color.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a big monster that eats people." Shinji tried to make his smile more friendly.
The girl blinked, and the tension on her face eased a little.
Shinji secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Let's continue with the previous topic. You asked your sisters why they couldn't live in peace?"
"Hmm, sir, you said that like repels like." As soon as this topic was mentioned, Sakura's attention was immediately attracted.
"Don't call me sir, that's too old. Call me brother, I'm younger than your father."
As soon as he said this, Tokiomi's expression instantly became strange. He was putting on airs with me, but was like this to Sakura. Did this guy have some special fetish, or did he simply like to act young
No matter which one it was, Tokiomi didn't dare to refuse until Shinji revealed his ill intentions.
But this time, Ying did not ask for her biological parents' opinions. Instead, she tilted her head and thought about it, and finally called out weakly: "Brother."
Hearing this familiar name, Shinji narrowed his eyes, as if he had returned to his own world. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his sister's long hair as usual.
"Sakura is so good."
Unfortunately, this world is not the world he was born in after all, and Ying is not his sister. The girl subconsciously took two steps back, like a frightened little rabbit.
Shinji withdrew his hand in dismay and touched his nose awkwardly. This scene made Tokiomi feel even more strange, but it made Aoi feel relieved. As a woman, she could feel that the mysterious young man with unknown origins was kind to Sakura from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's continue with the saying that like repels like. With your attentiveness, you must be able to sense that your two sisters are very similar, not in appearance, but in personality."
"Yeah." Sakura nodded. This was also one of the reasons why she got along so well with Luvia.
"Your two sisters are equally strong, independent, competitive, unfrank, and unforgiving. I make an irresponsible prediction that your two sisters must have had such a scene, where they clearly acknowledged each other in their hearts but denied it verbally. If you expose them, they will definitely keep shaking their heads, shaking their braids, and keep saying "Wulusai, Wulusai, Wulusai";.
Shinji said as he looked at the two girls who were about to start a fight, his smile becoming more and more cheerful.
"Yes, yes, exactly what my brother said." Sakura was full of admiration for Shinji, "How did my brother know that?"
Of course Shinji would not say that these two would be punished by the Clock Tower many times in the future because of their quarrels. He could make a judgment without such facts. He had seen too many tsunderes, such as a certain Shana, a certain Asuka, and a certain Louise.
"It's very simple. Their personalities are typical of tsunderes. It would be strange if two tsunderes didn't have something like this happen. If they were both as sensible as you, it wouldn't have turned out like this."
"No, no, I'm far worse than my sisters." Ying smiled shyly.
"No, there's no need to be modest about this. When it comes to being sensible and knowing the big picture, they are not as good as you. Your mother's Yamato Nadeshiko-style education and the aristocratic lady education of the Edelfeldt family, they only learned the surface, only you got the essence. To put it bluntly, their obedience, sensibility, elegance and nobility are all pretended, and you are real."
Sakura knew that Shinji's comments were true, but she was still a sister after all, and she would not admit it in front of outsiders.
Shinji continued, "I'm not saying that there's something wrong with their personalities. In fact, although this kind of personality deviates from the ladies and Yamato Nadeshiko, it is more suitable for the cruel world of magic. In this respect, you are not as good as them. I guess they saw this and felt that they should protect you. They also felt that they were the best people to protect you, and as a result, they refused to give in to each other, and this is what happened."
"Yes, is that so?" Sakura is only eleven years old this year and doesn't quite understand what Shinji says.
"If you don't believe me, ask your mother."
Sakura turned to look at Aoi, who nodded helplessly. She didn't understand why Shinji had to make it clear.
"In my opinion, they will continue to be like this, recognizing each other in their hearts but not in words, quarreling whenever they meet, and then escalating into fighting, for ten, twenty, thirty years... Well, from the perspective of personal growth, this is not a bad thing. A good rival of equal strength is both a pressure and a motivation. However, their personalities are too impulsive. You can see that they are so impulsive that they don't care about anything. This can easily lead to problems. Whether it is causing harm to the people around them or hurting each other, it is not a good thing, right?"
Not only Shinji noticed this problem, but Tokiomi also noticed it, otherwise he would not be there to support him, and if there was a problem, he could respond in time.
"Then, what should we do?" Ying asked worriedly.
This is the question Shinji was waiting for: "At this time, someone is needed to calm them down, and you are the best person."
"Me, me?"
"Yes, it's you!" Shinji said firmly, "With your two sisters' talent and hard work, they will surpass your father and the elders of the Edelfeldt family in ten years at most. And they are elders after all, and it is impossible for them to take care of them for their entire lives, but you can!"
"I, I can't do that. I'm not as good as my sisters."
"Yes, you can."
Shinji, contrary to his gentle attitude just now, pressed forward towards the unconfident Sakura.
"Tousaka Rin has 40 main magic circuits and 30 auxiliary magic circuits, with all five attributes of earth, water, fire, wind and space. Luviagreta Edelfeldt has over 100 magic circuits, with the attribute of earth. In terms of magician qualifications, she is ranked among the top 100 of the contemporary generation, and is indeed excellent."
"But you are not bad at all. You have 42 main magic circuits and 24 auxiliary magic circuits. Your attribute is imaginary element number. You are also among the top 100 in the contemporary world! You are just too unconfident and too weak. That's why your two sisters are worried. Do you understand?"
"Answer me, Sakura, are you willing to keep going like this? Are you willing to watch your sisters get beaten up and bruised while you are powerless to do anything? Are you willing to live under your sisters' wings for the rest of your life?"
Shinji's presence was so overwhelming that Sakura shrank back in fear.
"I, I—"
"Look up, look at me, and answer my question—will you?"
Although Shinji felt reluctant, he still increased the pressure.
