Beta read by Shigiya, FabledLife and Paragon of Awesomeness.
Important: this is lengthy because i added a bonus mini chapter. This part was supposed to be written AFTER the Saki incident, I completely forgot about it until a beta reader reminded me. So, I'll write it as a special additional series above this chapter. Yes, it did happen and is not just an omake, I'm still bashing my head for this mistake..

(Bonus part 1)
-Yuuki Residence-
"Quite the ruckus," Emiya remarked, sitting comfortably in the living room while watching the news. The latest reports about a series of accidents and roots suddenly appearing out of nowhere in many parts of the city had taken the front seat on every news station.
Thankfully, there was no recorded footage of Celine or the twins. Emiya suspected that Zastin may have had a hand in it, or other aliens whose primary job was to stay hidden and keep such affairs out of the public eye.
"You would think that this place would be swarming with secret agents sent by the government to capture possible aliens or young girls with magical powers to conduct various tests on them. Yet nothing of the sort has happened. I'm starting to believe that the mayor of this town is also an alien," a secondary voice spoke, watching the news together with him with equal interest. She plopped down on the couch, her messy, wet hair tied up in a towel. She made herself comfortable, using his thighs as a pillow while also playing with her handheld console.
He let out a resigned sigh, noticing his younger sister's carefree demeanor that she always had on the weekends. "I could have helped you dry and comb your hair if you were worried about it getting frizzy and tangled. Now, my pants are wet," he said, before starting to work on her hair.
"It's not that wet, and at most, it's just some droplets of water. Can we change the channel? I'm sick of hearing the same thing on repeat," she stated simply before returning her attention to her online game with friends.
He peeked downwards to see exactly what game she was so invested in. Raising an eyebrow, he found his sister controlling a character using dual blades alongside another character holding a ridiculously large greatsword made of bones, both of them in the middle of hunting some kind of dragon-like monster.
"Damn it, I should have healed,” she whispered after dying in the game.
He was pretty certain that Rito was the one who bought her this game in the first place. Unfortunately, he wasn't much of a video game player himself, and so lacked the interest he’d have needed to truly try it out.
"As you wish." Grabbing onto the remote, the redhead lazily switched between the channels, going from one news channel to another, then weird game shows, and animal documentaries, before momentarily stopping at a channel showing a live-action movie about some kind of magical girl throwing fireballs from her palms.
"Ah, it's Magical Kyouko!" From behind, he heard Rito's voice exclaim loudly. "Shit, I forgot there was a new episode released this week. I've got to go tell Lala!" He said before quickly rushing up the stairs, leaving Emiya curious about his reaction.
"Rito actually likes to watch this kind of series?" It wasn't his place to judge, but this was the first time he saw his brother show any interest in anything other than sports-related shows.
"You seriously don't know Magical Kyouko?"
"What's with that look, Mikan? You know I’ve never really had much interest in such things in the first place."
