Everyone in the hotel lobby turned to look at them.

"Isn't that the guy who had that beautiful girl call him—Daddy yesterday?"

"Yeah, and today she's calling him 'Onii-chan'."

"What a creep!"

"But he's so handsome!"

"Yeah, he is! Especially his aura—He's like a prince."

"If he were my boyfriend, I'd call him 'Daddy' every day!"

"Seriously, if he were my boyfriend—I'd do anything for him."

"Don't get your hopes up—you little hussy."

"What did you say you B*tch?!"

...

Roy was unaware that a fight had broken out in the lobby because of him.

He and Irisviel were enjoying their tofu pudding.

"Wow, this is so good!" Irisviel exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight.

She looked adorable.

Roy chuckled. "Eat more if you like it."

"Onii-chan have some!" Irisviel offered him a spoonful.

Roy took a bite. "Delicious!"

Irisviel giggled, pleased with his compliment.

Her innocent smile warmed Roy's heart.

After breakfast, they left the hotel.

It was time to travel to the point in time when Sakura was sent to the Matou household.

"Irisviel, we're leaving."

"Okay!"

They vanished in a flash of light.

...

They reappeared in an unfamiliar courtyard.

"Onii-chan, where are we?" Irisviel asked curiously, clinging to Roy.

"This—should be the Matou residence," Roy replied after sensing the surroundings.

He also realized that this was the moment when Zouken Matou brought Sakura, who had been adopted into the Matou family, back to his home.

Zouken was taking Sakura to the underground worm pit. She was about to experience a horrific ordeal.

Roy didn't hesitate. He opened a portal right next to Zouken.

Zouken was startled by the sudden appearance of the magic circle.

He stopped just as he was about to push Sakura into the worm pit.

Sakura—Terrified by the sight of the writhing worms, cowered in the corner.

"Who are you?" Zouken demanded, his voice sharp.

"You don't need to know," Roy replied dismissively.

He turned to Sakura, his voice gentle and laced with magic. "Sakura, I'm here to save you. Come here."

Sakura looked at Roy hesitantly.

Despite her young age, she knew she was at a crossroads.

Should she trust this creepy old man from the Matou family—or this kind-looking stranger?

Following her instincts, she chose to trust the stranger.

She stood up and ran towards Roy.

Roy scooped her up in his arms. He could feel her trembling.

She was terrified.

"Don't worry, Sakura. No one will ever hurt you again," he reassured her, gently patting her back.

Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest.

She was just a child who had been abandoned by her parents and then faced with a horrifying worm pit.

All she wanted was a warm embrace.

And Roy provided that for her.

She didn't know what the head of the Matou family had planned for her.

But after seeing the worm pit, she was instinctively terrified.

"Sir, Sakura is a member of the Matou family—It's not appropriate for you to take her away," Zouken finally spoke up.

The magic circle had made him wary.

As an ancient sorcerer, he knew that the magic circle was beyond the capabilities of ordinary mages.

Roy ignored his words and asked, "You were about to push Sakura into that pit—weren't you?"

Zouken's expression darkened.

"That's a Matou family matter—It's none of your concern."

"Oh, it is very much my concern," Roy scoffed. "You wanted to torture her, didn't you? Well, then you can go down there yourself!"

Zouken was immediately on guard.

But Roy simply waved his hand, and an irresistible force pulled Zouken towards the worm pit.

Roy walked over to the edge of the pit and looked down.

The worms weren't attacking Zouken.

But that was to be expected. Zouken was practically a worm himself.

It was no surprise that the worms were under his control.

But Roy wasn't going to let him off so easily.

He snapped his fingers—and a surge of magic struck the worms.

They went berserk, swarming and devouring Zouken.

"Aah! Aah! Aah!" Zouken screamed in agony as the worms tore into his flesh.

Roy cast a spell on Irisviel and Sakura—preventing them from seeing the gruesome scene.

Soon, Zouken's body was completely consumed—leaving only a skeleton behind.

But Roy knew Zouken wasn't dead yet.

...

His true form was a Crest Worm.

And that Crest Worm was likely hidden somewhere within the Matou residence.

As long as the Crest Worm lived—Zouken could be revived.

Of course, Roy had countless ways to kill Zouken permanently.

He then left the basement with Sakura and Irisviel.

They flew above the Matou residence.

The Matou territory was vast—with many buildings.

There were other members of the Matou family and servants within the compound.

Even Shinji Matou was there.

Roy didn't care. He summoned a small ball of magic power, the size of an egg.

He tossed it down towards the compound.

The servants were still working, and Shinji was yelling at them.

Suddenly, a bright light engulfed the entire area.

BOOOOOMMMMM!!!

In a silent explosion—the entire Matou compound was leveled.

Only a massive crater remained.

Everything else was gone.

...

Sakura, still in Roy's arms, stared at the scene with wide eyes.

She felt nothing about the destruction of the Matou family.

She was just confused about her future.

Roy noticed her expression.

"Don't worry, Sakura. I'll create a new home for you," he reassured her.

Sakura nodded.

Roy smiled, then unleashed his magic power. He was going to cast a powerful spell.

A massive blue magic circle appeared beneath his feet.

He began chanting.

The crater slowly filled itself in.

Then, a magnificent mansion began to take shape on the former site of the Matou residence.

It was a grand and elegant mansion, but with a touch of cuteness and whimsy.

The entire mansion was decorated in shades of pink, and there were various amusement park rides scattered throughout the grounds.

This was the home Roy had created for Sakura.

After learning magic from Tohru, Lucoa, and the others, and with his Authority of Magic—Roy could create almost any spell he could imagine.

This mansion was a simple creation for him.

He also placed a powerful barrier around the mansion. Without Sakura's permission, no one could enter.

Not even Heroic Spirits could break through.

This was to ensure Sakura's safety.

After all, Roy wasn't planning on taking her with him.

He would return to this world during the Fifth Holy Grail War, ten years later.

He was curious to see what Sakura would become after ten years in this safe and loving environment.

"Let's go inside," Roy said, leading Sakura and Irisviel towards the mansion.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Irisviel exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight.

The mansion was like a fairy tale come to life.

She then noticed the amusement park rides and begged Roy to play with her.

Roy chuckled and spent the day having fun with Irisviel and Sakura.

...

Meanwhile, the powerful magic he had used caused a ripple of fear among the mages around the world.

They felt an uncontrollable sense of dread—as if a godly being had descended upon the world.

Fortunately, the feeling was fleeting.

But it was enough to cause a stir among the magic families.

They began investigating the source of the disturbance.

Tokiomi Tohsaka also noticed the change in the Matou territory.

The Matou residence was gone—replaced by a magical wonderland.

But he couldn't see what was inside.

And he couldn't enter either.

Over the next few days, he didn't see anyone from the Matou family.

He realized what had happened.

But Roy didn't care.

After spending a few days with Irisviel and Sakura, he decided that the mansion was too quiet.

He went to the world of 'Bladedance of Elementalers' and brought back some spirits.

There were lower-level, mid-level, and upper-level spirits.

They were all kind and gentle elemental spirits.

The upper-level spirits could act as maids, taking care of Sakura's daily needs.

And most importantly, he brought back a Spirit King-class elemental spirit.

It was a rare find. Her name was Tina, and she was a gentle water spirit.

She would be Sakura's personal bodyguard, responsible for her safety.

But Roy didn't have Tina form a contract with Sakura yet.

He wanted to see what path Sakura would choose in the next ten years. He was curious.
