...

"Oh no, does Sakura know?" Airmid gasped upon hearing Mika's explanation.

Although Sakura had been adopted into the Matou family, deep down, she still cherished memories of her parents and older sister.

Yet, she had nearly been killed by her own father.

Such a revelation would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to Sakura.

"I'll go check on her," Airmid declared, rising to her feet and heading towards Sakura's room upstairs.

Seeing this, Mika relaxed slightly.

Sakura's indifferent expression upon returning had worried him greatly.

Sometimes, apathy was more painful than sadness.

In times like these, she needed the comfort of someone who had shown her kindness, like Airmid.

After all, Airmid had been by Sakura's side ever since her rescue.

With Sakura's well-being entrusted to Airmid, Mika turned to Merlin with a serious expression. "How is the barrier around the Matou residence progressing?"

On their way back, Mika and the others had noticed something peculiar about the Matou mansion.

While the surrounding buildings had suffered significant damage, the mansion remained unscathed amidst the ruins. It was undeniably suspicious.

Therefore, upon returning, Mika had instructed Merlin to modify the Matou's bounded field and barriers, incorporating an illusionary effect.

This would make the mansion appear indistinguishable from the surrounding devastation to any outsider.

Initially, Merlin had resisted this task.

However, after Mika raised his hand, revealing his Command Spells and offering to "enhance" Merlin's motivation, the magus had reluctantly agreed.

After all, he was the one who had insisted on joining them.

As "close friends," shouldn't they be willing to help each other?

"Rest assured, although my Bounded Field Creation skill is low, it's simply because I find it difficult to maintain focus on such tedious tasks," Merlin declared proudly, having rarely exerted himself to this extent.

"So you're saying you just filled out your Servant status sheet randomly?" Mika quipped, leaning back on the sofa and looking at Merlin with a playful grin.

"More or less," Merlin admitted.

After spending time together, their relationship had become quite comfortable.

Therefore, Merlin saw no need to continue hiding such trivial details.

"By the way, where's Mellie?"

Mika was, of course, aware of Merlin's true capabilities.

Shaking his head in amusement, he inquired about Mellie's whereabouts.

"Mellie? She's gone to rest," Merlin replied, taking a sip of his tea. "As soon as we returned, she complained about being exhausted and went to her room."

"It's the middle of the night, after all, and we just went through a fierce battle. If you hadn't assigned me this task, I would have retired for the night as well."

"As for Airmid, she's worried about Sakura's safety, so she stayed up and waited for you."

"Oh dear, I suppose the adrenaline from the battle kept me energized, and I completely forgot how late it is," Mika said, rubbing his forehead in frustration.
