A surprise awaited Haruki in his room. The 'small' problem ntioned by dea was easy to spot. Sakura's hair had lost its color. Pure, lustrous white unlike the old people. Her appearance reminded him of the cynical god of love Kama.
dea folded her arms on her chest. "Her hair turned white during the surgery. This side effect is very, very strange."
"It could be Marie Antoinette Syndro." Haruki caressed Sakura's cheeks. "How long till she regains consciousness?"
"I don'tshe is waking up."
Sakura's finger twitched, and she opened her eyes. Upon seeing Haruki, her ruby red eyes beca misty.
"Senpai." She threw herself in his arms, her tears drenching his shirt. "I missed you I missed you so much."
"What happened?" He could tell sothing was wrong, otherwise Sakura wouldn't cry like this.
"I I saw a god."
Sakura recounted her eting with Kama without leaving out anything.
"Master, this god needs to die," dea said, caressing Sakura's head. "I won't allow anyone to toy with my family again. I'll let it happen again."
Sakura felt flustered from dea's overprotective behavior. Looking at Haruki, she found him frowning. He, in fact, was looking at Sakura's status.
Sakura Matou: A descendant of the Tohsaka Family and inheritor of the Matou family.

Sakura surely didn't dream about the god. Her physical paraters rounded up to 5 while magical energy and luck experienced a considerable growth. She also regained her family 'Conversion' sorcery trait and her unique 'Hollow' elent. Despite the incredible growth in Sakura's strength, Haruki didn't look the least happy.
'Sakura could be in danger.'
A Divine Spirit residing inside a human was nothing but trouble, especially when the said god could beco a Beast. It was already a miracle that Kama hadn't rged or taken over Sakura's body. He shivered at the re thought of soone else imitating Sakura after 'killing' her.
'This world just won't let her rest for a second. What do I do about Kama?'
Even though he liked the depressed divine spirit, he didn't want Kama to stay involved with Sakura. The situation would end in two scenarios if he didn't separate the two.
Sakura becoming a Pseudo Servant, or Sakura becoming a Demi Servant.
Divine Spirits couldn't manifest in the current age without a host. If Kama used Sakura as a catalyst to manifest, she would beco a Pseudo Servant. She will be able to exhibit strength greater than most Heroic Spirits. For Haruki, it was the worst possible scenario as this process required Sakura and Kama to rge.
The second option, Demi Servant, was nearly impossible. It would allow Sakura to use so of Kama's skills while being herself. Mash Kyrielight was the best example of a Demi Servant, but she was created through cruel human experints. Even then, her lifespan had been reduced to years from the burden placed on her soul.
Haruki stroked Sakura's hair. "We will separate you from Kama."
Haruki looked toward dea. The sorceress narrowed her eyes, thinking of a way to fulfill his wish.
"I'll need ti"
The matters of souls couldn't be treated lightly by any ans. The factors involved were too many and the consequences very severe.
"dea-san, can I use a magecraft spell on you?" Sakura asked as she gently pushed Haruki. "I want to try sothing."
"Your magical energy is free now." dea took two steps back and summoned her staff to boost the magic defense of her robe. "Fire away."
Sakura nodded and aid a finger at dea's chest. "My spirit in your question. Your answer in prohibition. Rise, Rise, Rise. The gluttonous king of the ancient. My foe is now before ." Her chant was quick and precise without any mistakes.
A beam of high-pressured water hit dea. The sorceress erected a barrier to tank the spell. When the spell couldn't bore a hole through the barrier, the water split into thin jets of water and engulfed the barrier. dea's barrier began to lose magical energy while Sakura's spell grew stronger.
"Absorption?" dea gave an appreciative look at Sakura. "And it's fairly strong for a novice."
Sakura glanced at Haruki as though expecting a complint from him. He chuckled and rubbed her head just like she anticipated.
"The spell can easily injure a servant with low magic resistance. You'll catch up to Rin in no ti."
Sakura's face lit up with a smile at the prospect of being 'close' to her sister. "Senpai, I'll beco strong. I won't let anyone separate us not even the god of love."
"Don't overdo it." Haruki kissed her forehead and forced her to rest in the bed. He pulled dea into the living room.
"Haru," his mother's voice was followed by a gentle breeze. "Don't you worry about the Beast-class now. We'll take care of that issue after the Grail War."
"You are one yourself, aren't you?"
The person who possessed Sakura before was his mother. She might have been the trigger for Kama to appear.
"Yes, I'm one of the Seven Evils of Humanity. I was going to tell you that."
Kaede's easy acknowledgnt threw Haruki off his ga. He could guess what kind of evil his mother possessed. Finding his befuddled expression amusing, Kaede chuckled.
"This Kama is different from the Servant version, Haru," Kaede whispered in his ears. "Sakura's 'Hollow' origin doesn't co from nothing. Theoretically speaking, Sakura has infinite space inside her soul."
"I see. Is there a way to separate her from Sakura?"
"Just create another vessel for Kama A blonde in golden armor just arrived outside. Wait, it's your favorite Gilgash~."
Haruki sighed at the unfortunate timing of Gilgash. 'Why is he here?'
The wind gently pushed his back. "Go see him before he wrecks our ho!"
