Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: So… it really is a real Dinsional Chat Group??
Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: Um… at first I thought it was ghosts or sothing, like in a horror movie. How embarrassing!
The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: The Dinsional Chat Group is very much real~
The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: New mber, please take note of yours truly! This one is the acknowledged Big Sister among the group's female mbers. You may call Yukari-nee-sama.
RawrSoFierce: What? Pfft—since when are you the 'Big Sister'?
The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: It's universally recognized, of course! If Admin-dono doesn't believe , just ask Little Kaguya. Or our adorable tsundere Tatsumaki.
Kaguya-sama: …Hmm, Yukari-nee-sama is doing her daily boasting again.
The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: 10-Point Gift Package bribe warning!
Kaguya-sama: Yukari-nee-sama is indeed the Big Sister! New mber, please take note!
RawrSoFierce: …Pfft.
Openly conducting bribery in the group chat. The Sage of Youkai, everyone.
Truly a youkai of zero sha.

But setting that aside—Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household.
RawrSoFierce: @Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household — Mind if I ask, new mber—how old are you?
Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: F-four years old…
RawrSoFierce: Huh… only four? Then it'll be at least another year or two before that particular plotline begins.
Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: Plotline?
Crazy Diamond: The new mber's world plotline? Tell us about it, Admin-dono~
RawrSoFierce: The plot is… not suitable for younger audiences. I'll pass.
Crazy Diamond: …N-not suitable for younger audiences?
Kaguya-sama: I'm shook! I think I might know what kind of thing we're talking about.
Terrible Tornado: No way… there's really a new mber from THAT kind of world? I thought it was supposed to be a 'Heroic Spirit world'? Don't tell 'Heroic Spirit' ans THAT?
The Little Wandering Planet: S-spicy…
Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: Huh??? What???
Ryū couldn't rember every detail of the plot. But the broad strokes were clear enough: a story that shattered everything you thought you knew about decency.
Since Sakura was only four, though, the critical plotline hadn't started yet.
Ryū drew in a slow breath and murmured to himself:
"This just got a bit complicated. Looks like I'll need to warn Sakura and make sure she's on guard."
Ryū considered himself a person with a fairly normal moral compass.
He'd watched Sakura's ani and played the ga bearing the sa na, but the specifics had grown hazy with ti.
He'd even forgotten the na of the old monster from the Matou household.
After all, he'd consud the Fate series years ago. Most of the details had faded.
That said, Sakura's father, Tōsaka Tokiomi, was absolutely no saint. The decision he would make regarding his own daughter was nothing short of monstrous.
Ryū couldn't muster even a shred of positive feeling toward the man. Calling him scum wasn't unfair in the slightest.
It's all Tokiomi's fault!
* * *
"Since Sakura Tōsaka is already a group mber," Ryū thought, "and she hasn't gone through that yet—she's still salvageable. As long as she's still a Tōsaka, things are fine."
He felt a certain responsibility to ensure the safety of his group mbers.
Especially Sakura, who was arguably the youngest mber in the group—according to her own words, only four years old.
There was, of course, the chance she'd lied about her age. But fabricating a fake age would be completely pointless.
Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: …I feel like you all know sothing.
Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: Is it… about ?
RawrSoFierce: It is about you, yes. Directly and significantly. What happens to you in the future… is hard to put into words.
The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: Wait! Wait! Chotto matte! Admin-dono, you weren't joking just now?
Crazy Diamond: I'm shook… I actually thought Admin-dono was kidding too.
Kaguya-sama: You're serious? I was just playing along with the joke. Oh no… is the new mber actually a doujinshi character?!
RawrSoFierce: Your minds went to completely the wrong place. When I said 'not suitable for younger audiences,' I didn't an THAT kind of not-suitable. I ant the other kind.
* * *
RawrSoFierce: Here's what we'll do. @Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household — If you're interested in knowing about your future, I'll create a Discussion Group. Anyone who wants to listen can join. Female mbers only—no n allowed.
Edward Newgate: Understood!
Crazy Diamond: Roger!
RawrSoFierce: Sakura is still very young and needs to be handled with care. @The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden — You said you're the Big Sister, right? Ti to step up and look out for the new mber.
The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: Huh? Right—this one IS the Big Sister!
Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: …If… if that's the case, then I want to know.
Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: I want to know what my future looks like.
[Admin "RawrSoFierce" has created a Discussion Group and invited "Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household"]
[Admin "RawrSoFierce" has invited "The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden" to the Discussion Group]
[Admin "RawrSoFierce" has invited "Kaguya-sama" to the Discussion Group]
[Admin "RawrSoFierce" has invited "Terrible Tornado" to the Discussion Group]
Since Sakura herself—the person at the center of it all—had no objections, Ryū imdiately opened the Discussion Group and pulled in all the female mbers.
As for Whitebeard, Wolffy, and the others—it wasn't appropriate for them to hear these particular plot details. So of Sakura's story was the kind of thing male mbers would be better off not knowing.
* * *
Ti ticked by. Roughly half an hour later, Ryū finally dissolved the temporary Discussion Group.
RawrSoFierce: Finally done explaining everything. All those clarifications wore out. (_」∠)_
Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household: …Thank you, Admin-dono. I'll be careful.
The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: Unforgivable! KISAMA! Just hearing Admin-dono describe it was enough to send this one's fury to its absolute peak!
The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: If Sakura's father appeared before this one right now, this one would punt his head several hundred kiloters away!
The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: And that old worm—DIE! DIE! DIE!
The Eternally Seventeen-Year-Old Maiden: @Little Sakura of the Tōsaka Household — Don't worry, dear. Yukari-nee-sama has your back! Nobody gets to bully you—except Admin-dono!
RawrSoFierce: …Why do I feel like that last sentence was slightly ambiguous?
