Summoned as a Heroic Spirit in Anime World

Kaito Sora smiled and gently ruffled Yotsuya Miko's little head.

"Alright," he said.

"You're not a kid anymore, and there are other people around."

Yotsuya Miko finally snapped out of it.

Still, she couldn't help but nuzzle her head against Kaito Sora's chest once more. For some reason, being in his arms made her feel incredibly safe.

Even though she could proudly declare,

"I'm not afraid of evil spirits anymore!"

She still wanted to stay in Kaito Sora's embrace a little longer.

Then, her face flushed red.

She let go of Kaito Sora.

But she didn't pay attention to the others, her eyes just fixated on Kaito Sora.

Kaito Sora helped Yotsuya Miko to her feet and then turned to look at Yukinoshita Haruno, who was still sitting dazedly on the bed, seemingly not yet recovered from the earlier shock.

"Miss Yukinoshita,"

"I've taken care of your mother's issue."

"As for the house..."

Kaito Sora glanced at the charred hole in the bedroom wall.

And the damaged furniture in the room.

"It's fine."

Yukinoshita Haruno finally snapped out of her daze.

She quickly got up from the bed and said, "Thank you both for your help."

"Regarding the payment,"

"Do you have a bank account?"

"Yes, let me ask."

Kaito Sora picked up his phone and directly called Tohsaka Rin.

"Hello?"

"Hey, what's up?"

From the other end of the line came Tohsaka Rin's panting voice.

"Are you running?"

"Sort of, what do you want?"

"Give me a bank account number."

"A bank account? Why do you suddenly need a bank account?"

The mention of money.

Tohsaka Rin immediately became alert.

People can be careless, but money must not be spent recklessly, that's a matter of principle!

"Look at how stingy you are, it's not your money, it's money I'm making for you."

"You? Making money?"

Tohsaka Rin's tone was full of doubt.

At that moment.

The cheerful voice of Suou Yuuki came through the phone.

"Is that Onii-chan?"

"Yuuki, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Onii-chan! Are you buying something? You can ask Yuuki for money! Yuuki has quite a bit in her account!"

Without waiting for Kaito Sora to respond,

Suou Yuuki immediately started reciting her bank account number.

Look at how generous Yuuki is!

And then look at you!

No wonder you always end up as the loser!

What, you say Suou Yuuki is also a loser?

Then it's fine.

"No,"

Kaito Sora interrupted Suou Yuuki and explained, "I earned some money from a job."

Then,

Kaito Sora asked, "Yuuki, what do you want to eat tonight? I made some money, so I'll buy you something good."

"Really?!"

"Really."

"Then Yuuki wants to eat..."

Suou Yuuki listed a few foods and fruits.

Thanks to his photographic memory, Kaito Sora easily remembered them.

"Alright, I'll buy them for you when I get home tonight."

"Onii-chan is the best, Yuuki loves you so much!"

"Mm, I love you too. Pass the phone to Rin, I need to talk to her."

"Okay, Onii-chan!"

As Tohsaka Rin's voice came back on the line,

Kaito Sora's tone shifted from the gentleness he had with Suou Yuuki to a much rougher one.

"If you keep talking nonsense, you won't be sleeping tonight."

"You...?!"

Tohsaka Rin gritted her teeth.

What the hell do you mean?

You're so gentle with Suou Yuuki.

But with me, you're this rough?

But under Kaito Sora's pressure, Tohsaka Rin obediently said, "Wait a moment, I'll find it on my phone and send it to you."

Who memorizes a long string of bank account numbers anyway?

"Alright, my phone's running out of battery, bye."

Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita Yukino stared at Kaito Sora in shock.

Not because of the domestic dominance he had just displayed.

But because,

"Is that Miss Suou and Miss Tohsaka?"

"You know them? Right, they're your sister's classmates."

Haruno's gaze towards Kaito Sora changed.

The Yukinoshita family was wealthy.

But they were far from being a financial conglomerate.

At best, they could be considered local tycoons in Chiba Prefecture.

Even within Chiba Prefecture,

The Yukinoshita family's assets didn't rank first, barely making it into the top ten.

In Chiba Prefecture,

They could still rely on their intricate network of interests to wield influence in small areas, affecting the government and throwing their weight around.

But once outside Chiba Prefecture, the Yukinoshita family was nothing.

The Suou and Tohsaka families, however, were different.

Both were ancient families with histories spanning several centuries, their lineage deeply rooted in the aristocracy. Even in Tokyo, high-ranking officials who usually looked down on others would treat them with respect.

The Suou family, in particular, was a diplomatic family with extensive connections.

Being a diplomat,

And being from a diplomatic family were two entirely different concepts.

Not to mention, the Suou family's diplomatic lineage was further elevated by their status as part of the aristocracy, making them even more formidable.

For a small-time nouveau riche family like the Yukinoshitas,

Not to mention the Suou family,

Even the Tohsaka family wouldn't give them the time of day.

And yet, Kaito Sora,

Was so close to the young ladies and sole heirs of these two aristocratic families.

Not only had he become Suou Yuuki's adoptive brother,

But from the sound of the phone call,

He had already slept with Tohsaka Rin.

And he was the dominant one, with Tohsaka Rin not daring to raise her voice in front of him.

"Here, take a look at this card."

Yukinoshita Haruno took the phone and entered the bank account number into her own phone.

After a few operations, she handed the phone back to Kaito Sora.

Soon, Kaito Sora's phone rang.

He answered the call.

From the other end came Tohsaka Rin's incredulous shout.

"You, you, you, what on earth did you do?!"

"What, did the money come through?"

"Yes."

"How much?"

"Three, three hundred million yen!"

Tohsaka Rin's voice was trembling.

Three hundred million yen!

With fifty thousand yen per gemstone, she could buy six...

Wait, ten, a hundred...

She could buy a whopping six hundred gemstones!

Six hundred!!!

Enough to swim in a sea of gemstones!

With that many gemstones, even facing Cu Chulainn, Tohsaka Rin felt she wouldn't need Kaito Sora's help; she could take him down herself!

"You didn't rob a bank, did you?"

Kaito Sora was also startled by the amount, but he kept his composure.

"Look at how petty you are. If I robbed a bank, would I only take three hundred million?"

"..."

Tohsaka Rin felt something was off, but then again, it made sense.

"Then what exactly did you do to earn so much all of a sudden?"

"The Yukinoshita family had some trouble, and I helped them resolve it."

"Oh."

Tohsaka Rin had some impression of the Yukinoshita family.

Because there was a girl named Yukinoshita Yukino at school, she had heard of them.

They seemed to be wealthy merchants.

She couldn't quite remember.

"Alright, I'm chatting with someone now. We'll talk more tonight."

"Then take your time."

Hearing Tohsaka Rin's noticeably more obedient tone,

Kaito Sora couldn't help but lament the harshness of reality.

In the past, he had to discipline her to get her to behave for a while.

But now that he had money,

She didn't even dare to speak loudly to him.

Such is reality!

After hanging up the phone,

Kaito Sora turned to Yukinoshita Haruno, only to see her bowing respectfully.

"I deeply apologize, Master Kaito."

"The liquid funds I can mobilize are quite limited."

"Please give me some time..."

The Yukinoshita family was indeed wealthy.

Their combined assets amounted to hundreds of billions.

But most of that was tied up in real estate, stocks, and other fixed assets.

"It's enough."

Kaito Sora was satisfied.

Three hundred million yen was already a shock to him.

Having family assets worth hundreds of billions didn't mean they could easily liquidate tens of billions.

Not to mention hundreds of billions or even tens of billions.

Even a few billion could strain their resources.

"Thank you so much."

Yukinoshita Haruno bowed deeply.

Respectfully, she said, "Might I have the honor of obtaining Master Kaito's phone number?"

"You can ask Hiratsuka later. If anything comes up, just call me."

"And your mother,"

"There's nothing serious, but she's very weak and needs to recuperate. Don't let her work during this time."

"Thank you, Master Kaito. Haruno will remember."

Yukinoshita Haruno tried to persuade Kaito Sora to stay for a meal,

But Kaito Sora declined.

Yukinoshita Haruno stood at the villa's entrance,

Watching as Hiratsuka drove Kaito Sora and Yotsuya Miko away.

Only when the car disappeared from sight did Yukinoshita Haruno turn to her sister, who had a complex expression.

"That girl is your classmate, right?"

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded.

"Try to get closer to her. Even if you can't become Master Kaito's disciple, at least build a good relationship with him and her. If you can get him..."

Yukinoshita Haruno paused slightly.

Looking at her sister, she didn't finish her sentence.

Instead, she said, "I don't want to say these things to you, but you've seen it for yourself this time."

"Our Yukinoshita family, though much wealthier than the Tohsaka family,"

"Lacks their heritage."

"In their eyes, we're just upstarts, fat sheep."

"Before, I didn't understand why Mother always said this."

"Yes, our Tohsaka family isn't part of the aristocracy, but even if we can't compare to the Suou family, how can a fallen aristocratic family like the Tohsakas, with only Tohsaka Rin left, poor and without connections, compare to our Yukinoshita family?"

"But today's events have shown,"

"Our Yukinoshita family truly can't compare to the Tohsaka family."

"If it weren't for Master Kaito, Mother wouldn't have made it, and both you and I might have died at the hands of that female ghost. What use would all our wealth be then?"

"Do you understand, Yukino?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's beautiful eyes lowered, and she nodded.

In the past, she hadn't liked it when her mother spoke of such things, but the incident with the ghost possessing her mother had subtly shifted her mindset.

Seeing her sister's downcast expression, Yukinoshita Haruno's tone softened.

"You don't need to do anything."

"Since you're classmates with her, just try to befriend Master Kaito's disciple, as well as Tohsaka Rin and Suou Yuuki."

"If anything happens in the future, you can at least talk to them."

"As for Master Kaito,"

"Leave that to me and Mother."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded.

"I understand."

Seeing that her sister seemed to have matured a bit, Yukinoshita Haruno didn't know whether to feel relieved or distress. She smiled and gently patted her head.

"Alright, don't overthink it."

"Let's go check on Mother."
