But Qin Yin knew that all of this was real, and that it was all done by the handsome, ruthless older brother in front of her.
The three of them watched as the Matou family's mansion was completely destroyed, leaving only a huge crater.
Chapter 56 Lolis are the best!
"Rin-kun, who exactly are you?"
Even though Kotone was young, she sensed that things were not simple, and that her classmate Rin Tohsaka was no ordinary person either.
"That...I..."
When Rin saw her friend suddenly address her with the unfamiliar term "classmate," she panicked.
"cold."
At this moment, Ma En reached out and gently stroked her little head, calming her flustered heart.
"Maen-onni-chan." Lilin suddenly seemed to have found her pillar of support, looking at Maen with pitiful eyes, hoping to get help.
Maren also offered his advice: "Tell the truth, a relationship maintained by lies is ultimately just a lie."
Loli Rin paused slightly, then asked hesitantly, "But... is this really okay? Aren't we supposed to keep these things from ordinary people?"
"Of course. From the moment she became your friend, she was no ordinary person. There are plenty of people like us who have dealings with us and know a thing or two about us."
Leaving aside those at the higher levels, they actually knew about the existence of magic to some extent. To say nothing of the distant past, just take the leopard man, oh no, I mean the Tiger of Fuyuki.
The Fujimura Group, belonging to the Fujimura family, is the head of the yakuza that unifies the underground forces of Fuyuki City. They actually know a little about it, but they are still young, and the future Tiger of Fuyuki has not yet been told.
Magic needs to be kept secret in order to maintain its mystique.
To avoid letting too many ordinary people know about magic, which would lead to an excessive dispersal of the mystery and thus weaken the overall strength of magicians.
At the same time, it's important not to let everyone know, otherwise, once everyone stops believing in the existence of magic, the power of magic will quickly diminish.
Therefore, the Mage's Association also has a department specifically responsible for liaising with the world of reason and law, in order to maintain a certain balance.
This is the key to why, even after the Age of Gods ended and mysticism largely faded, magicians have continued to thrive to this day. The Mage's Association was established in the early days after the Age of Gods ended.
"Ah."
Loli Rin nodded, took a deep breath, and began to confess everything to the classmate who had been implicated by her, including the fact that the other person had been kidnapped because of her.
After she finished speaking, Loli Rin looked at her friend with some trepidation.
After this incident, the two may not even be able to remain friends anymore.
However, to Ma En's surprise, the little girl Qin Yin accepted everything very easily and said she didn't blame the loli Rin.
"Because even if there's a next time, Rin-chan will come to save me, right? Then I have nothing to worry about. And a magician! It's amazing, my friend is a magician."
When asked "why?" by the little girl Rin, she answered happily.
"Isn't this great? Congratulations, Rin, on having such a friend."
While Loli Rin was stunned, Ma En smiled and patted her little head again.
Loli Rin might not be able to tell, but Ma En did. When Kotone saw Loli Rin's anxious expression, she felt a pang of pity.
Although she should be afraid and, for her own safety, distance herself from Loli Rin.
However, she felt that this was unfair to Rin, the little girl who risked her life to save her.
Loli Rin clearly didn't want this to happen either. Loli Rin is also innocent in this incident, and she shouldn't hurt the other party anymore.
Therefore, Kotone chose to accept it and not dwell on whether it was because of Rin that she was implicated.
"Yes, that's great, thank you, Qinyin. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you from now on."
Loli Rin finally came to her senses, tears of emotion streaming down her face, and made a sincere vow to her friend.
"Okay, stop crying, you'll turn into a little kitten! And I'm the one who should be crying, you scared me to death, but now I've cried all my tears."
"Sorry, I'm late."
"Okay, okay, I'm fine now."
Ma En watched this upside-down scene with amusement. Qin Yin, who was clearly the victim, was comforting the little girl Rin instead. How sweet!
Lolis are the best!!!
Two little girls sticking together like that, the cuteness factor is just too high.
Maren felt like he had suffered tons of damage, the kind that couldn't be healed.
Countless friends named Awei died on the spot.
Ma En, who had added a generous dose of cuteness to his collection, smiled and took out a pendant and a charm with a pull ring, handing them to Qin Yin.
But the little girl managed to dodge it.
As soon as Ma En reached out, she dodged to the side.
It's clear that Ma En's ruthless killing spree, including the massacre of the entire Matou family, instilled fear in this little girl.
Although she closed her eyes and didn't see the specific process, she still heard a lot of screams.
It was fortunate that Rin kept comforting her, otherwise she would have been left with some psychological trauma.
Marne's expression froze for a moment, then he quickly explained as if nothing had happened.
"This is a specially made amulet with magical power. It will automatically activate when you encounter danger in the future, protecting you from harm for a short period of time. Consider it an apology from our Rin for causing you trouble."
A classic move: as long as I'm not embarrassed, then it's others who are embarrassed.
Qin Yin realized what was happening and felt embarrassed by her subconscious reaction. The older brother had come to rescue her in the middle of the night, and she hadn't even said thank you yet. Her actions just now were really impolite.
"Thank you, big brother, thank you for saving me."
Qin Yin solemnly accepted Maren's apology and sincerely expressed her gratitude.
""
When Rin, who was standing to the side, heard Ma En say "our Rin," she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
However, he suppressed his pride and did not refute it.
She knew that Ma En's intention was to protect Qin Yin's safety.
After all, what she said sounded nice, but in reality, as a magic novice who had just started learning, she could barely protect herself, let alone protect others.
"What is this? A magical prop?"
Qin Yin put on the pendant, carefully put it close to her body, and then looked at the remaining item, asking with some doubt.
"I know this. It's an alarm, used when you encounter bad guys."
Loli Rin answered instantly, taking the opportunity to divert attention.
"An alarm? What's its function? To contact the police?"
"No, it's when you pull out this ring that it will..."
Click~
Waaaaaaahh ...
Before Rin could finish explaining, she was looking the alarm up and down when she accidentally pulled the ring off.
A deafening bang erupted from the alarm, instantly piercing the night sky.
Click!
With lightning speed, Ma En snatched the alarm and put the pull ring back in.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
The little girl who started it all was a bit flustered and quickly apologized.
"It doesn't matter anymore, give me some oil!"
Seeing the lights gradually coming on in the surrounding houses, Ma En quickly picked up the two little girls and ran away.
Chapter 57 The aftermath
After leaving the place of trouble, Ma En took out three teleportation crystals and, using the location provided by the amulet, teleported to his home in Chan City with the two little girls.
"cold!"
Aoi Tohsaka, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed to greet her daughter when she saw her daughter return safely.
"mom!"
Loli Rin happily nestled into her mother's arms.
"How are you? Are you hurt? Let Mom take a look."
"Mom, I'm okay. Maren-chan protected me very well. Let me tell you, Maren-chan was really amazing just now."
Once back home, Rin, feeling much more at ease, started telling her mother about what had happened.
When Aoi Tohsaka heard that her daughter had been tricked and almost fell into the hands of bad guys, she was shocked. But then she remembered that her daughter had returned safely and calmed down.
Just as she was about to say something to her disobedient daughter, she realized that the little girl Rin had already fallen asleep in her arms halfway through her sentence.
Back home, nestled in her mother's arms, she gradually relaxed completely, and exhaustion overwhelmed her, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.
"When I found her, she had already returned to Fuyuki alone from here. She must have been through a lot. Let her rest first, and we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Yes, thank you, Ma En. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"Hey, there's no need for such formalities between us. This is what I should do."
"No, even if you don't care, it's still a great favor to us. We don't know what would have happened to Rin without you. We can't thank you enough."
"Well, whatever makes you happy."
Seeing that the other party was so insistent, Ma En didn't say anything more. He shrugged and skipped the topic, pushing the other little girl in front of him.
"I'm leaving her with you now. I need to go back and arrange the aftermath."
Aoi Tohsaka then remembered that there was another guest. She looked at Kotone and, having already understood what had happened from her daughter's explanation, gave her an apologetic look.
He reached out and touched the other person's hair, saying, "I'm so sorry to have caused you so much suffering."
