The so-called "something good" was a nostalgic, smile-inducing brawler game from back in the day.
Kaito is familiar with this! Like Nintendo's anime brawler games. Only, it used characters unique to this world, lacking familiar characters from One Piece or Naruto, for example.
Kaito didn't know the popular characters here at all, but they still had some similarities.
Kaito chose the default character, while Irisviel chose a currently popular, white-haired female character with an office lady style, wearing a professional suit.
The mode was like a King of Fighters game, where you depleted the opponent's health bar through PK until it hit zero.
The two began to battle.
Left, right, left, right, back, forth, then a sudden heavy blow. Under Kaito's highly skilled control, Irisviel was soon broken through. With a series of rapid combos and frantic button mashing, Irisviel's character was quickly gone.
"I don't believe it! Again!"
Truly, bad at games but loves playing.
Irisviel caught her breath, turned over, and chose a battle nun, seemingly born to punish sinners, swinging her cross staff for a heavy blow.
This cross staff was quite fierce. Kaito's character was pinned down, constantly defending until Irisviel's character's stamina was exhausted.
Seizing the gap while the character recovered stamina, Kaito immediately counterattacked!
Another combo!
Finally, using a special move, he scored a beautiful kill!
"Irisviel, you're just not good enough..."
Kaito, somehow produced a cigarette, lit it, and struck a pose of being lonely at the top.
"Hmph... This was recommended by Sella. She said it was absolutely possible... Damn it..."
Irisviel was both shy and angry, but there was nothing she could do about Kaito.
She really liked this game, but she just couldn't beat Kaito!
So what if she was bad but loved playing? Weren't there many people like her!
Besides, who was Kaito? Could he be treated like an ordinary person?
"I'm calling for backup!"
"...Okay."
After thinking, Kaito agreed.
Who recommended the game?
Sella!
So Irisviel grabbed Sella and brought her over to control the same character together against Kaito.
After all, it was a brawler mode, supporting up to 4 players, so 2 vs 1 was possible.
Of course, Kaito was still more skilled. He'd brush past on the left to stun, immediately defend + dodge on the right to avoid one person's small skill + combo, then turn back and attack the left again.
Repeating this, Kaito won.
Irisviel was indeed bad, while Sella held out until the end. But to accommodate Irisviel, Kaito took out Sella, who had lasted until the end, first, leaving Irisviel with just a sliver of health to be slowly chased down across the map.
"... Clan Head, I was innocent. Why did you keep beating me..."
Sella felt very innocent. By the end, she had both hands raised in surrender.
'Sigh...'
It was clearly Irisviel-sama who wanted to please Kaito-sama, so she asked for my help, using all the knowledge I had to recommend a game that every man Kaito-sama's age would love to play.'
'But myself...'
'Tired.'
'Just end it all.'
After a while, Kaito put away the game items, took a pleasant shower, and came back to bed, holding Irisviel as he slept.
Sella lay nearby, feeling resentful. After sighing, she also fell asleep beside them.
Morning...
"Check-in."
—Ding
[Today's check-in: 85 points]
Current points: 760 → 845
'Not bad, just 55 points left.'
'Maybe tomorrow or the day after?'
Kaito was looking forward to it.
Getting up and turning around, Sella was already awake, standing by in her usual attire.
"Sella, take good care of Irisviel."
"Okay, Clan Head."
Sella nodded, her face slightly flushed, not daring to look directly at Kaito. After he finished washing up, he took his helmet and went to the next room to log into the game.
Arriving at the living room, Kaito had breakfast with the energetic Illya and Sakura. Hearing that both had made some friends at school, he was happy.
But what made Sakura happiest was being able to attend the same school as her biological sister, Rin.
And whether going to school or coming home, she could also see her mother, Aoi.
During this time, Aoi had fallen into a cold war with Tokiomi. But their relationship was already similar; it's just that Tokiomi had become more distant towards her, sometimes even subconsciously treating her like a maid, ordering her to make tea.
It's no wonder. Tokiomi ultimately didn't trust the unfamiliar Kaito. Besides that, Kaito had brought him a lot of trouble, and the destruction of the Matou Family had also made him lose his reputation.
The worst part was that his daughter was taken away like this...
Well...
Even though he indeed didn't dare to confront Kaito and would probably eventually agree, his initiative agreeing and passively agreeing were completely different.
At least the Tohsaka Family still had a deep friendship with the Edelfelt Family, and they had previously expressed willingness to accept Sakura.
But Zouken offered too much, not only promising not to participate in the Holy Grail War a year later himself, or only summoning an ordinary Servant that wouldn't threaten his victory.
Besides that, there were benefits regarding some authority in Fuyuki City.
Finally, it was true that the Matou Family had no outstanding descendants, while the Edelfelt Family still had Luviagelita, whose talent was not inferior to Rin's!
After thinking it over, considering that Sakura would definitely become a core figure in the Matou Family, even the heir, Tokiomi agreed to Zouken.
Now...
Sigh, saying anything was useless.
Recently, Tokiomi had approached Kotomine Risei and accepted Kotomine Kirei as his apprentice.
Uniting with the church, they confirmed the required classes in advance.
For the sake of victory, even with elegance as his motto, Tokiomi would stoop to any means.
"Oh, Daddy... my mother said she wants to visit this weekend... do you think... that's okay?"
"Oh? Your mother is coming?"
Sakura was talking about her biological mother.
Kaito was very welcoming of Aoi's visit this weekend.
"Mm... She said she'll personally make a lot of bento and come over to play..."
"Hehe, that's fine then. I'll also prepare some snacks and some fragrant wine to welcome her."
"Okay."
Sakura nodded, very happy inside.
After watching Illya and her being taken by Leysritt to the school gate, Sakura saw her mother again.
"Mom, Daddy... oh no, I mean Father Kaito agreed!"
