"Tattoo?"
Shinji Matou was slightly startled, and then he noticed a burning sensation on the back of his hand. He quickly raised his hand and fell into silence. The red pattern was too familiar. After all, he was a participant of Holy Grail War back then. How could he not recognize it? The one on the back of his hand was 'Command Spell'.
However, it seems like... the next Holy Grail War should be in the near future.
"Hey, Emiya, I have to warn you something!"
He put one hand on his waist and looked at Emiya Shirou with an unhappy look on his face. "Don't ever get a tattoo on the back of your hand like me. Otherwise, I will treat you as an enemy. Do you understand?"
"Does this tattoo have any special meaning?"
Emiya Shirou looked a little curious. "Shinji, have you found a new girlfriend again? What kind of couple style is this?"
He speculated about the meaning of the tattoo from his knowledge of Shinji Matou. Since he could regard her as an enemy because of the same style of tattoo, it might be because Shinji was worried about him snatching his girlfriend.
"... Yes, that's it!"
Shinji Matou was silent for a moment, then a proud expression appeared. "I can't help it. No matter it's my family, grades, or appearance, I'm impeccable and will attract so many girls. It's a matter of course."
| "Yeah... I understand."
Nodding slightly, Emiya Shirou handed the bamboo sword in his hand to Shinji and said, "Today my adoptive father came back from England. I want to go back and prepare in advance, so I won't stay here for dinner today."
He didn't ask who Shinji Matou's new girlfriend was, nor was he worried that Shinji, who was so carefree, would hurt a girl he didn't know. Although Shinji was famous for being a playboy in school, his reputation among girls was very good, and even the breakup was amicable.
Among the girls who have dated, Shinji has nothing bad to say about it. Instead, they say that he is very attentive to understanding girls, and he understands gentlemanly etiquette very well. He will never cross any boundaries, and he has a sense of security when getting along with an older sister.
In short...Shinji It's more about making friends than having a girlfriend.
"... That guy is back."
Shinji Matou showed a disgusted expression and said with some warning, "Shirou, I advise you to stay away from that man. Although you are an adopted father and adopted son, the man is already twisted inside. Sooner or later, if you continue to stay together, he will be twisted and fall into the abyss."
When he first met Emiya Shirou's adoptive father, he had already determined that the man was dangerous. It was not a physical danger, but a mental danger. After a little investigation into Emiya Shirou's adoptive father's past, he was able to determine these things even more.
If once Shirou learns his adoptive father's way of living, sooner or later he will fall into the abyss of nothing.
That's why he said such rude words to Emiya Shirou.
"... No, Kiritsugu has been locked."
Emiya Shirou was stunned for a moment, and then a gentle smile appeared. He didn't care about his friend's rude remarks. In fact, Shinji was very disgusted with his adoptive father Kiritsugu in the past, but he didn't do anything drastic.
"Anyway... this is your own business."
Putting it aside, Shinji Matou started practicing swordsmanship on his own. Anyway, it was just a personal choice. No matter what kind of life Emiya Shirou wanted to live, it didn't matter much to him.
"Then I'll go back first."
Waving his hand, Emiya Shirou turned and left Matou Household.
Seeing this, Shinji Matou stopped practicing his sword and stared inexplicably at the direction Shirou was leaving. He knew that Emiya Shirou was considered a first-generation Magecraft master and was likely to be selected by the Holy Grail to become Master.
When the time comes, should he regard Shirou as an enemy?
Chapter 345: Changed Rules
What should I have at the beach?
First of all... sun, beach and waves are of course essential.
However, there is one more thing that is essential.
That is, beauties in swimsuits, whether they are beauties wearing pure or sexy swimsuits, are the most beautiful scenery on the seaside, the boundless sea, the youthful body, the waves of the waves, and the clear laughter of the girl.
The boundless beauty of heaven and earth and the pure beauty of the girl complement each other into a dazzling scene.
"Awesome~"
Aozaki Touko lay on the lounge chair, took a sip of iced lemon juice, and looked lazily at the beach. A women's volleyball match was being held there, with four participants: Tohno Akiha, Kohaku, Hisui, and Ciel.
Of course, besides her, there are three other people who did not participate in the volleyball competition.
On the side, Irisviel was grilling the barbecue enthusiastically, and Asagami Fujino was helping out.
And, not far from her, Ryougi Shiki was sitting quietly on a recliner with a cold expression on his face.
"It's really great... the quality is super high?!"
Suddenly, Ryougi Shiki's tone became more lively, and he looked at Touko and said, "However, using an independent holiday island in order to be able to appreciate this beauty alone is a bit too exaggerated."
The island she is on now... is not a public resort beach, but an independently operated resort island with complete facilities and no outsiders disturbing the clean beach.
Even if she is the eldest daughter of a famous Japanese family, she is still surprised by Touko's financial resources.
"Actually... I didn't know I had a private vacation island."
Aozaki Touko stood up and chuckled, "However, when we were arranging the route, we found out unexpectedly... When Clock Tower was here, a medical seeker paid me for his medical expenses on an independent island for his private vacation."
"Really... don't you even know how much property you have?"
Ryougi Ori looked strange.
"... I probably still know."
Very honestly, Aozaki Touko shook his head. "However, I don't know how many properties there are and their specific locations, and I have no interest in writing them down."
She doesn't have much interest in money. Now money is just numbers in her eyes. Compared with money, she still values Magecraft's knowledge more. Other material things... don't have much appeal to her.
"..."
Ryougi Ori fell into silence, and suddenly found that talking about money with Touko was really boring. Touko's... wealth value setting was as exaggerated as in a comic, as if God specially sent money to Touko.
"Speak of it, Ori~"
Aozaki Touko smiled, "After so long, have you made a decision? To be honest... I have been keeping your spare body for a long time."
"Then let's leave it alone for now. Anyway, for you... you have as much body as you need."
Ryougi Ori shook her head slyly, then she took out a bottle of sunscreen and handed it to Touko, turned around and lay on the recliner, exposed her fair and beautiful back to Touko, and said straightforwardly, "Now, I'll trouble you, you don't need me to teach you what to do, right?"
"The service must be attentive."
Skillfully, Aozaki Touko squeezed the sunscreen into her hand and raised her hand to apply it on her fair and beautiful back. In response, Ryougi Ori just squinted her eyes and quietly enjoyed Aozaki Touko's service. Compared to Shiki, she had stronger emotional power.
Since you like it... then you will take action for it.
"Zhi... do you want to participate in an interesting battle?"
Aozaki Touko lightly applied sunscreen and casually raised a topic.
Hearing this, Ryougi Ori's delicate body tensed slightly, then immediately relaxed, and said in a lazy tone, "Interesting battle, does it mean Holy Grail War summons the past Heroic Spirit to fight each other?"
"That's right, that's it... otherwise how can it be called interesting."
Aozaki Touko chuckled in affirmation.
She is not worried that Ryougi Ori will encounter a crisis in Holy Grail War. If it encounters trouble anyway... the hidden Root Shiki will come out to solve the problem. Therefore, this time Holy Grail War is an interesting and novel experience for Ryougi Ori and Ryougi Shiki.
Moreover, she will always pay attention to the movements of Holy Grail War... to avoid danger.
"Okay... I agree."
Ryougi Ori simply agreed.
Although she can only kill one person in her life, if it is the dead Heroic Spirit, it is not included in the scope. Even if she releases the suppressed murderous intention in her heart and vents it out, there is no problem.
"By the way, I changed the Holy Grail War rules this time."
Aozaki Touko said with a smile, "This Holy Grail War is not about seven groups fighting each other to compete, but a super melee between fourteen groups Heroic Spirit. The intensity will be far more intense than the last time."
"The rules were changed... why?"
Ryougi Ori was lying on the recliner, squinting his eyes and asking casually. She was not so much curious as to why, but the fourteen groups Heroic Spirit were fighting each other, not so much that they were continuing to chat along the topic in order to continue the conversation with each other.
"Because it's boring."
Aozaki Touko replied naturally, "If there are only seven groups, it will basically be a civil war within the family. When you meet, you will find... that there is a lot of connection between each other. Do you want to continue fighting at that time?"
Her intention is obvious... that is to find a few people who don't know life or death to confuse the game of Holy Grail War and make it more unknown... and to make other people more nervous. Otherwise, everyone she meets is a relative or friend, so what's the point of Holy Grail War.
At least, find them some targets that they can beat with confidence.
"Everyone... the meat is roasted."
At this moment, Irisviel, who was having a barbecue, shouted to the people not far away, and showed off the fragrant barbecue skewers in his hands, which immediately aroused people's appetites.
"It's such a shame... this has to be the end of it."
Seeing this, Ryougi Ori glanced at Touko teasingly, then stood up and walked towards the barbecue stall.
While staying where she was, Aozaki Touko smiled helplessly. She had almost applied the sunscreen, and she needed to apply it more deeply, such as near the towering people's hearts. However, the timing of the barbecue was too unlucky.
Of course, there's nothing to complain about... there's still a lot of time ahead.
Emiya Residence.
"...Kiritsugu, Qinghua, welcome back."
Emiya Shirou opened the door and looked at a man and a woman outside the door. They were his adopted father and mother. The man's name was Emiya Kiritsugu, and the woman's name was Aoyama Aohana. They were both famous thieves... No, they were both famous philanthropists.
"Do you miss me, Shirou?"
Aoyama Aohana looked at the adopted son in front of the door and handed over the prepared gift.
Although she and Emiya Kiritsugu have not had children in recent years, or for some reasons, they have no plans to have children for the time being, but they have adopted a very lovable adopted son from the orphanage they established.
Chapter 346 Magic Staff is not used like this!
It was dark.
"... If you haven't come back yet, could it be that you went on a date?"
Illya was lying on the soft sofa, holding up Magic Wand inlaid with blue gems. She had been waiting at home for a long time... However, Touko Mama and Irisviel's mother seemed to have not come back. And when she came back, the two maids at home... noticed Command Spell on the back of her hand.
However, unexpectedly, they were only slightly surprised, and then calmly told her that everything would be handled when Lady Touko came back, and confidently told her not to worry, as Holy Grail War was no longer as dangerous as it had been in the past.
Obviously...Sella and Liz at home are very familiar with this matter and are not too worried about the so-called Holy Grail War.
"Speaking of which, Illya... have you finished your homework?",
Sella walked out of the kitchen, put a plate of fruit on the table, looked at Illya and asked, "Tomorrow is Monday. It seems that you have been studying Magical Girl today. Did you finish writing Illya yesterday?"
"..."
This sentence made Illya freeze in shock, and then he suddenly raised his head and stared at Sella, with a look of horror on his cute smiling face, "It seems... I forgot about this matter!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped up from the sofa like an elk and ran upstairs quickly.
According to her past habits, homework would be left until Sunday. Because studying in the dreamland deepens the effect of learning, homework is a piece of cake for her. However, this... does not mean that it does not take time to write.
"...Illya, dinner will be served later."
Seeing this scene, Sella showed a soft smile and turned to the kitchen with a slight reminder. She did not have any worries about her little master being chosen to become Master. If Holy Grail War was really in danger, according to the ability of Touko master... she could easily peel off Command Spell and transfer it to someone else to replace it.
If the owner of Touko is sure to take good care of Illya... then she doesn't need to worry at all.
Besides...Touko's master also discussed this issue with her. Although Holy Grail War is dangerous, it is also the best spiritual food. The will of past heroes, the majesty of past kings, and the wisdom of past wise men will all be turned into the most precious nutrients for Illya to grow.
This time Holy Grail War, Touko owners hope that their daughter Illya can inherit the past and move towards a bright future.
at the same time.
In Illya's bedroom.
"Speaking of which, since I am Magical Girl now?"
Illya looked at the Magic Wand in his hand thoughtfully, and then looked at the homework on the table. "Is it possible to use True Magic to complete the homework in an instant?"
Thinking like this, she felt a sense of guilt. Wasn't this too cheating? It was more meaningful to write the homework by herself. However, she already knew the knowledge, so this just saved some writing time, so it shouldn't be called cheating.
Thinking about it, she raised Magic Wand to face her homework.
"Pen, move it by yourself and complete your homework."
At this moment, the magic light lit up from Magic Wand. Immediately, the pencil on the desktop began to move, and the homework was automatically opened. The power of True Magic showed a miracle beyond imagination.
However, at the next moment, the pencil stopped while moving. Magic Wand was like a short circuit, constantly flashing light, as if it was thinking intensively. After a while, the shining Magic Wand suddenly stopped lighting up, as if the power had been cut off.
No more light.
