Study Room.
"Is there something you need?" Kaito Sora glanced at Alisa while asking. He was in the middle of a game and added, "I'm playing a game right now. Can we talk after this round?"
Kaito had never been one to abandon his teammates.
"It's nothing urgent. We can talk after you finish," Alisa replied.
"Then please have a seat and wait for a bit," Kaito said.
Alisa sat down on the sofa. She had just finished talking with her sister, Maria, about what she had witnessed that morning. After Maria's guidance, Alisa realized that although Kaito-san's behavior earlier had been lewd and inappropriate, it ultimately had nothing to do with her. Moreover, the bigger issue was that she hadn't knocked before entering. Even though the door had opened on its own, she was still at fault for barging in.
After all, she and Kaito-san weren't in a romantic relationship, nor was she friends with Rin Tohsaka. From any perspective, as a guest who had entered without knocking, she had no right to criticize or scold Kaito-san, the host.
So, she had come to apologize to Kaito-san. But at the same time, she also wanted to tell him that what he had done was wrong!
Alisa rehearsed her prepared speech in her mind, making sure everything was in order, and then turned her attention to her surroundings.
Kaito-san was still playing his game. His computer desk faced the window, with his back to the door and the sofa. A panel beneath the desk blocked her view of his legs. All Alisa could see was Kaito-san's focused expression as he stared at the screen, occasionally furrowing his brow. The only sounds were from the game.
But then...
Alisa frowned slightly, puzzled. What was that strange noise she was hearing? It sounded like someone repeatedly swallowing, as if their throat was uncomfortable. It seemed to be coming from...
Though she had never had a boyfriend, Alisa wasn't completely naive. Realizing what was happening, her face flushed with embarrassment. Rin had been here just moments ago! This was just too much...
However, after what she had seen earlier that day, Alisa's tolerance had increased significantly. Soon, her curiosity got the better of her.
Who could that woman be? She had just seen Suou Yuuki in the living room. Was it someone she hadn't met before? Or was she just hearing things?
"Um, Kaito-san, can I come over and watch you play?" Alisa asked.
Kaito glanced down at Sakura Tohsaka, who was busy under the desk.
"Are you sure about that?" he asked.
"Is it okay?" Alisa pressed.
"I don't mind, but I suggest you don't come over," Kaito replied.
Alisa hesitated for a moment, but the strange sounds were too intriguing. She couldn't resist and walked over to the side of the desk.
And then she saw it.
A small head beneath the desk, along with a voluptuous figure. The black hair and the body type reminded Alisa of someone she hadn't seen in a while—someone who fit this description perfectly.
"No! No! It can't be her!" Alisa thought, dismissing the idea as ridiculous.
But then, the girl, seemingly unable to hold back any longer, lifted her head and coughed painfully twice.
In that moment, Alisa caught a glimpse of the girl's face, partially hidden by her hair.
"Sakura?!" Alisa gasped, covering her mouth in shock. She stumbled backward and fell to the floor.
"I'm sorry, Alisa. Did I scare you?" Sakura Tohsaka asked, brushing aside her disheveled hair and offering an apologetic smile.
But the gentle smile on Sakura's face only deepened Alisa's shock. She was speechless. After a moment, she stood up abruptly and ran out of the study without a word.
"Alisa?" Maria called out from the guest bedroom, where she was sitting on the sofa reading a book. She looked up in confusion at Alisa, who had returned in a panic.
"What's wrong? Weren't you going to apologize to Kaito-san?" Maria asked.
Alisa didn't answer. Instead, she threw herself into her sister's arms and held her tightly.
"Alisa? What happened? Did Kaito-san do something to you?" Maria asked, concerned.
After a long pause, Alisa finally stammered through her tears, "Sister... this family... they're all perverts!!!"
Meanwhile...
Mahiro Shina quite enjoyed her life at the Tohsaka household. Living under the same roof with everyone, she found them all to be very kind. However, tonight, the atmosphere at the dinner table felt a bit off.
Alisa sat with her head down, not saying a word. If anyone glanced at her, she would tense up. Rin Tohsaka kept glancing at Sakura, her lips pressed tightly together, clearly conflicted. Maria, though still gentle, seemed to be paying more attention to Kaito-san than usual, occasionally casting strange looks at Sakura. On the other hand, Sakura Tohsaka and Suou Yuuki seemed to be in high spirits, eating with great appetite.
As for Kaito-san, he seemed no different from usual. But Mahiro could sense a strange, unsettling atmosphere hanging over the table.
Just as she was about to ask what was going on, the doorbell rang.
Mahiro secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly put down her chopsticks and stood up. "I'll get the door."
The visitors were Kanae Kocho and her sisters. Behind her stood a girl who looked almost identical to Kanae, though slightly younger—about the same age as Rin. There was also another girl, even younger than Sakura, hiding behind Kanae.
"Sorry, it seems we've come at a bad time," Kanae said.
"Not at all," Kaito replied, putting down his chopsticks. "I just finished eating. Let's talk in the living room."
"Kaito-san, are you going to 'treat' them?" Maria suddenly asked, curious.
"That's part of the process," Kaito replied.
"I've been feeling a bit tight in the chest and dizzy since this morning. Could you 'treat' me as well?" Maria asked.
No one else seemed to notice anything unusual, assuming Maria was genuinely feeling unwell. Only Alisa looked at her sister in shock.
"Of course," Kaito said, giving Maria a strange look. "If you're not feeling well, you can come to me anytime."
"That's great. I'll trouble you later, then," Maria said with a smile.
In the living room, Kaito sat down with Kanae and her two sisters.
"These two must be Shinobu and Kanao, right?" Kaito asked.
"Yes, this is Shinobu, my younger sister, and this is Kanao, my adopted sister," Kanae introduced the two girls softly.
Shinobu Kocho sat stiffly, her face serious as she stared at Kaito. Meanwhile, Kanao Kocho hid behind Kanae, peeking at Kaito with a blush on her face.
So this is the teacher sister found for me? He's so handsome...
Kaito nodded and looked at them. "Kanae has probably already explained the details to you, but I'll ask again. Are you willing to become my disciples?"
Kanae gently patted Kanao's head.
"I... I'm willing," Kanao said softly, her face red and her eyes avoiding Kaito's gaze.
This feels a bit... illegal, Kaito thought to himself.
He then turned to Shinobu, who, despite looking almost identical to her sister, had a completely different demeanor. She sat stiffly, her expression serious as she looked at him.
"Before I become your disciple, I want to challenge you," Shinobu said firmly.
