Simulation Again! Child of the Great Dao

After the three finished eating at the Chinese Restaurant, it was already late afternoon, nearing evening.

Artoria bid the two of them farewell after finishing her meal, most likely returning to Shirou Emiya's place.

Yu Feng did not stop Artoria. There would be plenty of chances to meet in the future, so why rush?

By the time Yu Feng and Little Mo returned to the Tohsaka Estate, Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou had already come back.

Sakura Matou was helping Shirou in the kitchen, while Rin Tohsaka lounged leisurely on the sofa, every bit the proper young lady.

As for Shinji Matou, after everything that had happened yesterday, his body was somewhat weakened because of Old Worm. He had definitely spent the entire day at the Tohsaka family home.

Looking at the just-returned Yu Feng, Rin Tohsaka asked curiously, "Where did you go today? You didn't attend class."

Yu Feng replied, "I took Little Mo out for a walk."

However, to Rin Tohsaka's ears, Yu Feng's utterly ordinary words were no different from saying, "I took Little Mo out on a date."

After all, he had gone out with only Little Mo, with no one else around. How could they possibly have just been shopping? On top of that, given Rin Tohsaka's feelings for Yu Feng, it was only natural for her to overthink things.

"You actually went on a date?!" Rin Tohsaka's voice rose noticeably as she glared at Yu Feng with an unmistakably jealous expression.

Yu Feng quickly realized what she meant and hurriedly added, "I brought Artoria too! It wasn't a date! You misunderstood! We just went out for a walk. How could I bring two people along if I were going on a date?!"

No, that did seem possible.

Yu Feng suddenly recalled the scene in UBW where Rin Tohsaka went out together with Shirou Emiya and Artoria.

Rin Tohsaka still looked at Yu Feng suspiciously. Seeing that things were going badly, Little Mo directly turned into spirit form and slipped away, without the slightest intention of speaking up for Yu Feng.

In her view, this sort of matter was far too troublesome, so Yu Feng could deal with it himself. It was not as though she could be much help anyway; avoiding trouble whenever possible was best.

Yu Feng soothed her, "All right, what's wrong with a Master taking his Servant out for a walk to get familiar with the area? Isn't that perfectly normal? Stop overthinking it."

Only then did Rin Tohsaka slightly rein in her obvious jealousy. Then she suddenly remembered something. "Right, since you didn't go to school today, I asked for leave for you. Next time you don't want to go, tell the teacher beforehand. Don't just skip directly, or I'll have to ask for leave for you again."

"Thanks. I would've forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Yu Feng smiled slightly at Rin Tohsaka.

Seeing Yu Feng's smile, Rin Tohsaka suddenly blushed. She hurriedly let out a haughty snort and turned her head away, refusing to let Yu Feng see the crimson flush on her face.

"Big Sister, Senior Yu, dinner's ready." Sakura's voice called out at that moment.

At the dining table, Shinji Matou sat beside Yu Feng, his expression visibly somewhat dejected.

Naturally. Anyone would be sad for a while after the death of an uncle who had treated them well. That was the case with Shinji Matou, and Sakura was much the same, except she hid it well.

But judging from Shinji Matou's appearance, he would recover before long. There was no need for Yu Feng to say anything to comfort him.

If it had been the original Shinji Matou, then given how heartless and carefree he was, he might not have been particularly upset even if Kariya Matou had died. At most, he would have been sad for a few hours, or perhaps forgotten all about it in the blink of an eye.

Bazett was also there, seated beside Sakura Matou, with Rin Tohsaka on Sakura Matou's left.

Little Mo had unusually not come out during this meal. It seemed she had eaten enough today, or perhaps she simply did not want to come out for some reason.

Yu Feng had not eaten much while he was out today, so this was a good chance to have something.

"Bazett, you can go out without worry. Mage... no, I ran into Kirei Kotomine today," Yu Feng recalled something while eating and said to Bazett.

Bazett's somewhat indifferent expression turned subtle upon hearing Kirei Kotomine's name.

"He already knows you're here, but he seems to have lost interest in you. It looks like he no longer cares in the slightest whether you live or die."

Bazett replied dully.

"I understand."

No one knew what she was thinking.

Beside them, Rin Tohsaka's expression changed slightly when Kirei Kotomine was mentioned. No one knew what she was thinking either.

After dinner, Yu Feng returned to his room. For no other reason than that the simulation's cooldown had long since ended; he had merely delayed it until now because he had forgotten about it earlier and had been busy outside.

"Start Heroic Spirit Life Simulation!"

"Please select your current talents! (Note: After completing three simulations, a simulation update will occur! Hidden simulation bug fixed.)"

Child of the Great Dao (Red): You are a Child of the Great Dao, proficient in all Daoist arts and immortal arts; you grasp them at a glance. (Includes magecraft.)

Femme Fatale (Purple): You were born with unparalleled beauty, unmatched by anyone. However, your constitution is also frail.

Heaven's Jealousy (White): You are envied by Heaven, and nothing goes smoothly for you. You should never have been born into this world. (Mandatory when selecting Child of the Great Dao.)

Clairvoyance (Gold): You can see a glimpse of the future, including many possibilities, but only in dreams. As for whether you can remember them, that is unknown.

Immortal's Blessing (Gold): You were born favored by immortals, and all things go smoothly for you.

A hidden simulation bug? Yu Feng was somewhat puzzled. During his first simulation, he had not felt that there was any problem, so what the hell was this bug?

Yu Feng did not dwell on it. The system would fix whatever hidden simulation bug it was, so he did not need to concern himself with it. He just needed to start the simulation first.

"I choose Child of the Great Dao and Immortal's Blessing." As soon as these talents appeared, Yu Feng chose the two without hesitation. Clairvoyance was quite useful, but these two talents were even more useful.

Unfortunately, one slot had been taken up by Heaven's Jealousy. Otherwise, he could have obtained Clairvoyance as well. Yu Feng found that somewhat regrettable, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Moreover, Yu Feng felt that if he selected Immortal's Blessing, perhaps it might offset some of Heaven's Jealousy's side effects.

Heaven's Jealousy seemed to have appeared among the talent options only because of Child of the Great Dao. Perhaps Heaven's Jealousy existed because it was a red talent.

If he randomly drew another red talent in the future, there might be similar talents to Heaven's Jealousy among the five options.

"Start simulation!"

"Talents selected! Simulation begins!"

A virtual panel appeared before Yu Feng, with the eight words "Talents selected! Simulation begins!" inscribed across it.

A mechanical voice also rang out in his mind.
