Multiversal: The Shop Chapter 115: Miyu
🕑 Added 2024-03-26 12:21:05 +0000 UTCI carried her away from the dirty ground. As expected, she's light for someone her age. Either way I should bring her home.
Walking isn't a good option right now, people would find it strange for a guy like me, carrying an unconscious girl in my arms. It would definitely look suspicious from an outsider’s perspective.
If I walk in the streets, I might be labeled as a kidnapper, or worse a child molester.
That's why I had to use my magic to create a portal. Immediately I vanished from the face of earth and returned back to a specific location which was my house.

As I stepped inside I was surprised to see Ai, because I was expecting her to be at the strawberry production for her big day next week.
“Welcome home- hm? Who is the little girl you're carrying? Don't tell me..!”
“No, no, no that's not it. Before you accuse me of kidnapping, this girl needs help and I need to call Shirou right now, because this girl is 100% related to him.” I explained to her in a very simplified way, thankfully she understood and didn't say anything and helped me prepare a suitable bed for her to lay down.
As soon as she was placed in a comfortable bed, I immediately called my brother-in-law for this news.
I know he might doubt me, but he knew I wasn't the type to joke about this sort of thing, while he's going to doubt me, he certainly would at least check it out.
I took my touchscreen and called him.

-London, Clocktower-
In a king size bed, Shirou who was sleeping next to Lorelei woke up as he heard his mobile phone ringing.
Normally he would have been awake at this time, however he was physically and mentally exhausted from yesterday's ‘action’.
Lorelei could be freaky sometimes in bed, and yesterday was one of those days, honestly at this point he was surprised by the fact that she's not pregnant yet considering they do it almost everyday.
Anyway, it was time to answer the mobile phone just a few meters away from the bed.
He stood up, revealing a half-naked well defined body without countless hickies, scratches and bite marks due to Lorelei’s animal-like behavior.
After dating Lorelei, only then he understood that those seemed lady-like and professional women are freaky in bed.
Not really that surprising considering they buried a lot of resentment, stress and irritation all of their lives by acting prim and proper.
Either way, he was counting his lucky stars that Lorelei isn't into BDSM, it would have been really freaky indeed.
Despite her cold, regal and professional demeanor that literally gives everyone she meets that she's an S type.
They were wrong about that, but he can't really blame them for thinking that way, after all he too once thought of her as a cruel, sadistic woman.
Turns out she was just a kuudere.
Taking the phone from the table, he answered it and said. “Hello?”
(Shirou, I need you to come back to Japan asap, because your sibling is here.)
Almost dropped the phone due to shock, but managed to hold it in the end.
“What..?!”
His shout was loud that it woke up Lorelei from her slumber and she was not looking happy.
“Emiya, you better have an explanation for waking me up this early…” Lorelei almost growled at him, but right now he couldn't care less and he knew that she would understand his reasoning.
“Your brother told me that my sibling is in japan…” He answered with doubt and disbelief.
While Lorelei calmed down and looked surprised by the information. “Truly..? But I thought your sister dead..?”
“Yeah.. Illya is…” Shirou couldn't stop himself from being emotional, and only few could elicit emotions out of him and Illya is one of them.
Sensing her fiancé's depressed look, she decided not to pursue it any longer.
“Anyway..” Changing the topic, she continued. “I doubt my brother would lie to something like that, it might be wise to listen to him.”
Shirou nodded and then answered the phone. “Is the person you're talking about is my sibling..?”
(Yes, she is. I'm not talking about Illya but another girl that I'm pretty sure you're blood related to, it's complicated to explain on the phone, meet me here and I'll explain it all to you.)
With that said, he looks at Lorelei who could only sigh. “I will prepare my private plane, meanwhile we should take a shower first.”
Shirou had to agree as they both smelled musk and sweat from yesterday's exercise.

It's been a few hours since I called my brother-in-law, I'm pretty sure they're about to arrive.
The girl, however, was still blissfully sleeping, but considering what she's been through, she at least deserves that much.
In fact, she can sleep all she wants, different timeline or not, it doesn't matter to me, she's my sister-in-law and that all it matters.
Family is family.
Speaking of family, I have a feeling that I'm missing something important…
Not long after, Miyu's eyes slowly opened, from her perspective she was still seeing blurs at the moment, then a second after she saw me.
Neither of us said anything at the moment, we were having a staring contest and after a few minutes finally she asked. “Who are you?”
I smiled and replied. “Took you long enough, I'm Alexander Barthomeloi, what about you?”
I knew her name already, but I decided to ask for formality.
“Miyu…” She muttered.
“No last name?”
She hesitated for a bit before nodding, despite her obvious lie, I couldn't help but smile and thought. ‘Smart kid, withholding some information about herself.’
“Very well then Miyu, I'm sure you're curious as to why you're here.” I said.
To which she nodded.
“Well, I found you unconscious on the ground, all alone and I decided to bring you home so that I could help you.”
I'm aware of how wrong it sounds, so I quickly added. “And before you reach some sort of random conclusion, no I'm not going to harm you for one, second I won't ask you anything you dislike and lastly I just wanted to help.”
Miyu couldn't help but look at me with a doubtful look, which isn't surprising because if she isn't doubtful then she's either a naive child who doesn't know better or simply just a fool for believing a stranger.
I let out a chuckle which made her a bit confused. “Well, that's a good attitude to have. You shouldn't trust anybody before knowing them.”
Hesitantly she nodded at my words, and then said. “So, any question from me?”
Miyu looked at him with uncertainty and a bit of hope, and asked. “W-when you found me…did you find anyone besides me..? A-a male teenager with red-brown hair with the same golden eyes as me..?”
I know who she was talking about. As much as I wanted to lie about it, I didn't because it's better to be clear. “No, I saw no one aside from you in the place where I found you.”
And my answer made her feel despair, fear, guilt, regret and hollowness.
It was such a terrible sight, a girl shouldn't have that look where she has given up on everything.
Asking if she was okay is a dumb decision so I let it be, everything will be explained after my brother-in-law arrives.
As you noticed I deliberately didn't say the existence of the moonlit world, because I have a feeling that she would be very wary of me if I did mention it.
Later on, Ai arrived with a porridge in hand and saw that Miyu was already awake, with a smile she said. “Oh, you're finally awake!”
However, despite the cheerfulness of her tone, the only thing she recieved was a hollow look of the girl.
Making Ai flinch at such a familiar sight, I decided to give her an idea of the situation. “It's best if you leave her for a while, as you can see she isn't exactly up for a normal conversation right now.”
Ai hesitated while looking at Miyu, then after a second she nodded. “Alright, tell me if you need something.”
I nodded at her with a genuine smile. “I will.”
Then she left the room, leaving us in complete silence and I know better that talking won't help unless ‘he’ comes.
And a minute later, I could hear multiple footsteps outside the room and I'm pretty sure who they were.
The door opened, revealing a familiar white hair with some strands of red hair, however right now, my attention wasn't solely at him but toward Miyu who saw Shirou in flesh.
The look of her face was priceless, then later tears started leaking out of her golden eyes, and couldn't stop herself from dashing toward Shirou.
“Onii-chan..!”
Miyu buried her head into my brother-in-law’s chest, as if to release every bit of negative emotions that she felt a while ago.
It was a heartwarming scene, however Shirou was confused as to why Miyu was hugging her, despite not stopping her from hugging him, he asked a very insensitive question. “Excuse me…who are you?”
Miyu looked him in the eyes and replied. “Eh?”

A/N: Poor Miyu, she doesn't realize that Shirou isn't really her onii-chan.
Anyway, somehow I managed to write this one, enjoy~
