Waver: Matou Shinji Deserves Nothing but Slop / Shinji: Why Is Someone Always Wrecking the Place Wherever I Go?

"So what if there are a lot of girls? Is that messy? That's called good luck with women! Anyway, Grandpa has high hopes for you."

Zouken patted Shinji on the back with a smile—but because he lacked height, he couldn't reach Shinji's shoulder.

"It's rare to see someone with such good luck in love; you should hurry up and choose a good wife for yourself."

"Grandpa... what you call 'lucky love' is actually more like 'lucky love' misfortune, isn't it?"

A few hours later, Shinji, who was already sitting in his office, looked at Ryougi Shiki with a smile in front of him and made a sarcastic remark.

Chapter 171 Waver: Shinji Matou only fit to drink swill.

"Shinji, you seem very tired."

Ryougi Shiki looked at Shinji, who was supporting himself on the table with his hands, and asked with concern.

"Are you alright? Did what happened last night make you so upset?"

"It's alright... it's just... a little... I don't know how to say it..."

Shinji rubbed his temples, unsure of what to say.

Could it be that my current situation has nothing to do with last night, but is mainly due to encountering a black tyrant after returning home this morning?

"It's hard to imagine what Shinji brother would be troubled by."

Ryougi Shiki tilted her head and said, "Shinji is a hero who rides on the necks of old men and curses them, so there shouldn't be anything that can bother you, right?"

"What's that? I don't have the hobby of breaking the spines of those stubborn old men."

Shinji chuckled wryly and muttered a sarcastic remark.

"Shinji, I wish you could really do that. I've been annoyed with those old men for a long time."

Ryougi Shiki Shinji gave a thumbs-up. "You're always bringing up the members of our Ryougi Family, when your own family's assets are barely a fraction of ours!"

"Speaking of money..."

Recalling what Artoria had complained about, Shinji glanced at Ryougi Shiki and gave her a reminder.

"Shiki, your living environment is quite different from that of the other Heroic Spirit like Artoria. They can only live in Fuyuki City, unlike you who can go to Tokyo for luxury spending anytime you want. So, I hope you can keep a low profile."

As a port city, Fuyuki City has actually developed quite well and hasn't fallen too far behind those more developed cities.

However, its consumption level is definitely still quite far behind Tokyo's, as can be seen from Kirei Kotomine's criticism of Fuyuki City's lack of class.

If they could leave Fuyuki City, Artoria could live the life of a Ryougi Shiki, but unfortunately, they have no choice but to stay here.

While she wasn't jealous to the point of being mentally twisted, she was still a little annoyed; otherwise, Artoria wouldn't have brought it up in the Shinji.

Ryougi Shiki Shinji was clever; Shinji's subtle reminder made her realize her mistake, and she apologized directly, saying, "I'm sorry, Shinji. I didn't know about Miss Pendragon's situation at the time."

Shinji nodded. "Hmm... I'll just be more careful next time."

He didn't tell Ryougi Shiki anything about apologizing to Artoria.

Shinji simply advised Ryougi Shiki to be mindful of the occasion when speaking, and not to overemphasize her privileged status to avoid offending others.

Secondly, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it; Artoria didn't intend to do anything to Ryougi Shiki.

She complained to Shinji about the new Illyasviel von Einzbern in the house, and casually made a sarcastic remark about Ryougi Shiki.

In Artoria's mind, her greatest enemy is still her dark self.

Shinji felt a headache coming on at the thought of the King of Knights suddenly appearing in his house.

Shinji wasn't as concerned about the cook's workload and food expenses as Red A; what troubled him more was the irreconcilable conflict between the two King of Knights.

Even based on just that short time in the morning, Shinji could still sense that there was absolutely no possibility of these two getting along peacefully.

"We have to find a way to separate the two of them, at least until they get through the adjustment period."

Shinji let out another long sigh. He looked up at Ryougi Shiki, who was still smiling, and his head throbbed even more.

"Why are all these things happening at once? It was already more exciting with the addition of Miss Ryougi at the company, but now there's also the Black King of Knights at home. Is it because my New Year celebrations the past two years were too uneventful that you want to create some excitement?"

Thinking of this, Shinji lost all interest in talking to Shiki-nee and casually waved her away to go report to the Little Secretary.

Then Shinji took out the resume filled out by Ryougi Shiki and pondered how to arrange things for her.

In the short term, we'll definitely use this young lady as an assistant, but that won't work in the long term.

The Ryougi Family sent their second young lady here not to be Shinji's maid for life, but to prepare her to be Shinji's wife.

The most troublesome thing is that Shinji also has to pretend he doesn't know what the Ryougi Family is thinking and arrange things for this young lady as an employee.

After all, the Ryougi Family had never publicly stated that Ryougi Shiki was going to marry Shinji, so Second Master had to pretend he didn't know.

"How to treat Shiki-nee is really a troublesome problem... Hmm... a degree in Business Administration from Tokyo University, huh..."

Shinji looked at Ryougi's diploma and slowly rolled his eyes. "It's not a full-time training method for wealthy wives... Is it because the Ryougi Family wanted the head of the family to have a backup option? Or did Shiki herself request it?"

"It's a bit much to treat a top student like a mere decorative object... How about we let her take over the Little Secretary's job?"

Shinji and figured Ophelia would definitely go berserk, so he decided to give up.

He is very satisfied with his Little Secretary's current job, and they are getting along well, so there is no need to replace her.

"Should we train Shi-jie as a regular company employee and then move her into the company's management?"

That's not good either... I said I wanted to be his intern assistant...

"This is difficult to handle..."

In the end, Shinji decided that he should let Shiki work as his assistant for a while, and then let her participate in actor training to see how it went.

If becoming an actor is indeed an option, it would be a good solution.

Using some resources to promote this young lady can be seen as giving the Ryougi Family an explanation, and it can also help to separate the main characters in the Love Triangle, thus preventing even bigger problems from arising.

Let's do it this way.

Shinji wrote two notes in his notebook, then put Shiki's resume and the notebook aside and picked up another report.

The above shows the pre-sale sales figures for the DVDs and VHS tapes of the third season of HF, figures that would still make other film and television companies envious.

Fate is now showing signs of becoming a top-tier IP. As long as Shinji can maintain the quality of the series, it can definitely become the Star Wars or Marvel of this world.

Shinji's next step is to separate Fate from Fate/Stay Night and focus on the development of Fate.

This will definitely upset some fans, and may even cause some temporary discomfort, but it is something that must be done.

Only in this way can the Fate IP be made more diversified, allowing for more gameplay and generating more revenue.

There's no future in staying in the tiny Fuyuki City.

This applies to both Fate and Type-Moon Company.

"Propaganda within Fuyuki City is already the limit; we need to find a way to get the Heroic Spirit out of Fuyuki City as soon as possible..."

Boom!

Just as Shinji was speaking, a huge explosion suddenly occurred, and the report in Shinji fell from his grasp.

"Holy crap! What's going on?! Is this a terrorist attack?"

Shinji rushed into the office, looked down, and was completely Sparta.

The open space below the Type-Moon Company was a mess, with broken stones and cement debris everywhere, and black smoke billowing over the entire area.

It looked like the robots fought the Decepticons, and then Thanos grabbed the Hulk and rolled around on top of him several times.

"I'm sorry, Master."

From the black smoke, Artoria emerged, her face covered in mud.

She wiped the sweat from her face, looked up, and exclaimed innocently, "That dark-skinned guy said he wanted to duel me. I tried to dissuade him... but it was no use."

"Artoria Pendragon!"

Shinji roared angrily, "Do you even believe that yourself?!"

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

A few days later, Shinji appeared in Waver's office dressed in a very formal suit.

"Please use it."

A blonde girl smiled and placed a cup of black tea in front of Shinji.

Shinji couldn't help but chuckle at the other person's cautious movements; he hadn't known that this little devil could be so docile.

As a result of Shinji's smile, the girl's body trembled involuntarily.

"Mr. Matou... what's wrong?"

The girl asked timidly.

"You didn't put anything weird in the tea, did you?" Shinji asked, picking up his teacup.

"Of course not! I would never do such a thing!"

The girl waved her hands repeatedly, afraid that Shinji might misunderstand something.

"Do you know me?"

Shinji took a sip of tea.

It smells wonderful, with no strange taste whatsoever.

"Yes, Shinji Matou, Mr. Kenseth's prized student, the Clock Tower's prodigy, the pride of the Modern Magecraft Department... and a world-class film master."

The girl counted on her fingers as she recounted Shinji's origins.

Shinji raised an eyebrow. "Kenseth's student? Is that what he said?"

"Don't forget who your thesis advisor is! To outsiders, you're obviously their student!"

Waver said loudly, just as he walked into the office and heard it.

Shinji shrugged. "I chose him as my advisor simply because he won't hold my thesis accountable."

Waver's eyebrows twitched involuntarily. "You should at least show some respect for your teacher..."

Seeing Waver get his comeuppance, Shinji felt an immense sense of relief, all the gloom of the past few days vanishing.

"Waver, you're back!"

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw Waver, and she immediately clung to Waver arm like a little bird.

"Leinys, you don't need to entertain this guy; he only deserves to drink swill," Waver sneered.

"Waver, what are you saying? Isn't Mr. Matou your guest?"

"Just an unpleasant guest."

Waver gently patted the girl's head. "You can go out now, I have important business to attend to."

"Okay, Waver."

Leinys smiled and nodded, then skipped away from the office.

Shinji observed all of this, so after Waver sat down, he jokingly asked, "Nice young lady, Waver, are you your fiancée?"

"Puff----"

Waver, who was drinking tea, spat it out.

"Where did you get that from?!"

Waver's roar echoed from the office.

Chapter 172 Shinji: Why is it that wherever I go, people are destroying my house?

Waver wiped the tea from his lips and glared at Shinji with a frustrated expression. "Where did you get so much information? How do you even know about things like this?"

This time it was Shinji's turn to be a little surprised. He looked Waver up and down and said with a sigh, "She really is your fiancée? I thought you were going to marry Magecraft."

Waver pursed his lips. "There's nothing I can do. Do you really think I'd end up alone?"

"Too."

Shinji nodded knowingly.

As Kenseth's academic heir and the current head of the Modern Magecraft Department, Waver will naturally get married, and his spouse will inevitably be from Kenseth's El-Melloi Family.
