Chapter 699 Foster Care
The first night of the Fourth Holy Grail War passed in an uneasy way.
It was originally a day when seven masters gathered together, but before the seventh master Yuyu Ryunosuke summoned his servants, one of them was removed. As a result, it seemed that there were only six masters participating in the war.
At Matou's house, when the sun shines through the window into the dim corridor, Matou Kariya slowly wakes up after being in a coma for the whole night.
Because of the death of Matou Zangyan, all the insects in his body stopped moving. At this moment, he felt relaxed that he had not felt for a long time, but in just a few seconds, he hurriedly stood up.
"Sakura..." Looking for Matou Sakura's room, he found that the door there was wide open, and then he heard a frightened 'woo-woo' sound, and then he saw Matou Tsuruno tied up and gagged in front of a room. .
Seeing him walking over, Matou Heye struggled even more fiercely, begging him to loosen his bonds, but Matou Kariya ignored him, walked around Matou Heye, and came to the room next to him as quickly as possible.
"Sakura!...?"
The situation in the room was a little different from what he expected. The person sleeping on the bed with his clothes on should be the enemy Master. He was awakened by his shout and opened his eyes and looked up at him with some displeasure.
Sitting in front of the desk was Lancer, who killed his servant at an extraordinary speed last night. He turned back to him and said, "Are you awake?"
And Sakura Matou, who was worried in his heart, was sitting obediently on a chair nearby, unscathed, looking at him with dull eyes.
"N-Are you okay? Sakura."
"She is now the maid of my Archibald family, so of course she will be fine." Kenneth snorted: "As for you, you are already a useless person, so just leave my sight quickly and find a dark corner to wait quietly for death. Bar."
"Maid?! No..."
"Think carefully before rejecting." Ji Xing interrupted: "Even if I hand this child over to you, where can you send her now?"
Of course, send them back to Aoi and Rin! In this way, in this way, we can... If Matou Kariya stagnates, can we go back?
"We already know the situation of this child. Tokiomi Tokiomi of the Tosaka family is the head of the family. Do you think he will agree to take back the daughter he gave to the Matou family?" Ji Xing asked.
……Will not. That cold-blooded bastard could do something like give Sakura away, and he would never take her back easily again, let alone a genius lecturer from the Clock Tower who wants to take Sakura as a maid, a great magician!
hateful! Aoi's loss, Sakura's pain, all of this is Tohsaka Tokiomi's fault, it's all his fault! If it weren't for him...if it wasn't for him!
"Let's wait a few more days until the outcome of the Holy Grail War is determined." Ji Xing said, "Tokiomi Tosaka may not survive."
Matou Kariya was shocked.
Kenneth was dissatisfied: "What is the need to explain to him? This maid is my trophy. It has been marked with the Archibald family's mark. She can only follow me no matter what. Speaking of which, you have been watching it all night , is your curiosity satisfied? We are going back!"
Ji Xing smiled: "Okay. But Master Kenneth, there is one thing I forgot to remind you last night. You really may not be able to decide if you want this child to be your maid."
Kenneth was startled and said dissatisfied: "I can't decide, how can you decide?! I am the head of Archibald's family, the great Lord El-Melloi, and I just adopted a maid. How can anyone oppose me? Decide?!"
…
"I disagree!"
Sora faced Kenneth with a cold face and a cold tone: "What do you think this is? A good deed? The magician who wants to be our servant can go around the clock tower three times, why should you adopt such a dull and stupid person?" maid?!"
Kenneth was no longer as domineering as before, and his expression was slightly flattering, with the words "Give me a little face in front of the servants" written all over his face.
But Sola ignored it completely: "You even dare to ask me to take care of her a little during the Holy Grail War? What are you thinking, Rod Elumeroy (nickname), do you think this Holy Grail War is simple enough for you to take the initiative? Bring a few oil bottles with you? Take the initiative to create weaknesses for yourself?"
Perhaps seeing Kenneth's face gradually turning red after being scolded, he couldn't hold it any longer. At this point, Sora suddenly changed the subject: "Of course, you won the first battle, which is worthy of praise. It can be done in the clock tower." A feat that is celebrated.”
Kenneth's expression immediately softened.
"But I don't agree with this. This is also for your own good, Rod Elumeroy. Let her go back to where she belongs immediately!"
This routine of praise and criticism made Kenneth very nervous. He gritted his teeth and looked back at Matou Sakura in embarrassment. In fact, he had made a decision.
The moment he saw the insect warehouse, he did have some complex emotions in his heart, and he felt pity for the girl. It was an instinctive reaction of being a human being. Later, he also felt that an excellent magic seedling was being wasted. regret.
He is a very traditional head of a magic family. He looks down upon those with weak talents and families with a short-term magic lineage. He also appreciates geniuses like a lecturer.
But compared to Sora's preferences...
Ji Xing smiled and gestured to Kenneth.
Kenneth froze, feeling that he had lost his face and could not say anything to drive people away.
Ji Xing didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and stretched out his hand to Matou Sakura who was watching all this numbly. Matou Sakura paused for several seconds before placing her hand on his palm.
"Sakura, you probably don't understand now, but remember my words, if you have a boy you like in the future, don't be too humble. Believe that all people have equal souls, and love is about finding a soul mate, licking a dog Worse than a dog.”
Matou Sakura, who was led by him to the door, was indeed very confused, but Kenneth behind her became angry: "You guy...hey! Where are you taking her to?!"
"Find a place that can take her in temporarily." Ji Xing's voice responded from the corridor.
At the same time, Sola suddenly let out a long breath, his breathing was a little heavy, and there were even some drops of sweat on his forehead. When Ji Xing was 'teaching Matou Sakura', she wanted to yell and curse, but she was suddenly locked by a sharp and very fatal feeling, making it difficult for her to even breathe.
This strange reaction naturally caught Kenneth's attention. He was startled for a moment, then he knew what happened and said angrily: "That bastard... dared to scare you?! Just wait, Sola..."
"Don't! You and he are in a cooperative relationship. Don't cause conflicts because of me and affect the victory of the Holy Grail War!" Unexpectedly, Sola was very understanding this time, which made Kenneth feel touched and a little ashamed.
At an angle that he didn't notice, a strange flush flashed across Sola's face. It was so exciting
…
Webb Velvet didn't know how he managed to stay up until he fell asleep last night.
The strong body odor and the arms that seemed to crush his head would probably leave him with an unforgettable memory, as well as a mark that would probably take half a day to remove.
He wiped his flattened face in the mirror, still feeling the faint pain. He walked back to the bedroom angrily, only to see the bulky servant still watching TV.
I watched a military movie and enjoyed it with relish.
Weber felt like he was going to explode.
Although he used the holy relic to summon the powerful Rider (cavalry), the legendary conquering king Iskandar, this man basically ignored his master, and only calculated how to conquer the world, and even gave himself two slaps. He almost lost his dominant position as the master!
"That's enough!" Unable to endure it any longer, Weber finally exploded: "Did you hear what I said clearly? Berserker has been killed! He was easily eliminated in the duel with Lancer!"
As if he was a little surprised, Iskandar looked at him and then smiled: "Hahaha! That's really a little headache!"
"I know it's a headache, why don't you go out and check for information?!" Weber shouted.
"Oh What bothers me is that I didn't have the chance to gather the other six heroes and kings together and have a fun fight, and the winner came out so quickly!" The Conqueror King's big hand touched Weber's head, and Weber suddenly became stunned. He sat down on the ground and said, "You really need to hurry up! It's not the behavior of a king to just sit here and reap the benefits!"
Weber was startled. He gathered the other six servants together and started a fight? !
This was obviously a random idea, but when it came out of the mouth of the man in front of him, he couldn't bear to refute it for a moment, and even thought it was amazing.
Compared with such a man, there is an insurmountable gap that will last forever... He didn't know how many times he had such an idea, but his strong and sensitive heart made him quickly abandon it.
"you……"
"Shh-"
Just when he wanted to speak again, the Conqueror King raised his finger and interrupted him. His expression was somewhat solemn and he said: "Someone came to the door."
"...Impossible!" Weber was shocked and retorted: "How did you find this place?!"
The next moment he realized that he might have made a stupid mistake. Although I hate that man, my level of magic is not at the same level as his. Using rats to monitor him... how could I not be discovered!
So...is that Lancer here? !
The Conqueror King Lingzi in front of him disappeared and shuttled out. Weber swallowed before running towards the door in panic to chase after him.
Not far away on the roadside, Ji Xing, who had brought Matou Sakura here, stopped. Not far in front of them, the figure of the Conqueror King emerged.
Ji Xing looked at the man opposite him.
The upper limbs and legs protruding from the bronze body armor are covered with strong muscles that seem to bulge from the inside, a sculpture-like deep face, sparkling pupils, and red hair and beard that seem to be burning, and are covered by the same A thick cloak dyed red with crimson and decorated with luxurious patterns.
Some people look fierce at first glance.
Ji Xing stretched out his hand and said: "Good morning, I am Penglai Gunslinger Sanren, Tong Yuan, Gun Rank."
The Conquering King was startled for a moment, then laughed loudly: "He is actually a hero from China? Hahaha, I have heard of the name of the Gunslinger! I am the Conquering King Iskandar, riding rank!"
"I know." Ji Xing slightly imitated Kenneth's tone: "I didn't expect that Weber, who only thinks about things all day long, would actually dare to come to Fuyuki City with the holy relics I prepared. It seems that the conquering king Iskandar has become He killed his servant, but how much power can that kind of idiot exert as a conquering king? Let’s deal with it later!”
Weber heard Ji Xing's words as soon as he rushed out, and he immediately said with embarrassment: "That guy who only values family and origin should rot with the clock tower system..."
"Don't shout at me. If you have a chance, you can tell him in person." Ji Xing smiled.
Weber choked, "I, I will!"
The child's "Don't leave after school" was ignored by the two adults. Iskandar looked at Matou Sakura, who was being held by Ji Xing, and thought: "Well, it seems you are not here to start a fight with me, Gunslinger!"
"Ah. This child has encountered some situations. After much thought, you are the only one who is suitable to foster her for a few days." Ji Xing said.
"Foster care?" The Conqueror King laughed: "Hahaha! We are rivals, right?"
"It has nothing to do with her."
The Conqueror King stared at Ji Xing for a few seconds, shook his head and said, "What I couldn't understand the most during my lifetime were you Sanren! You obviously have extraordinary martial arts, but you don't want to make contributions and go on conquests all day long. You only live in your own small world, you don’t have the king’s domineering power, and you don’t obey the king’s domineering power!”
"Maybe I haven't met the right person, maybe I have a weak nature, or maybe I just have some kind of pride in my heart." Ji Xing said, "If you don't understand, just put it aside. Stop being curious."
"You are different, you are not like Sanren."
The Conqueror King shook his head and laughed again: "I don't know what's different about it, but it just doesn't look the same! Hahaha... What's going on with this girl? Why do we need to foster her?"
"Her name is Matou Sakura, she was originally a girl from the Tohsaka family..." Ji Xing briefly explained what happened to Matou Sakura: "That's it, she is currently homeless."
"Poor! Poor!"
The King of Conquerors shook his head repeatedly, and Weber's face behind him also showed regret for Matou Sakura. Such a young child has experienced such a thing, no wonder he looks a little dull.
"No problem! Gulamakaiki and the Masa couple are very good people and can take this girl in until the end of the war!" The Conqueror King agreed.
Weber nodded again and again, and then suddenly froze: "No... wait!"
Why did things suddenly develop to this extent? I thought there was going to be a war!
From the bottom of his heart, he was naturally willing to help the homeless Matou Sakura, but leaving him at the home of Gulan Makaki and Masa?
You must know that this couple is just ordinary people who were bewitched by his magic. It was because of the magic that they regarded him as his grandson and allowed him to save money on the hotel and live here. It’s already troublesome to add a ‘friend’ Iskandar, and now you have to take care of a little girl? What's more... I came to participate in the Holy Grail War to prove myself. What's the point of the enemy sending a child first?
"This...can't..." He hesitated and refused: "There must be other places to go. We are enemies, how can we..."
"...Hey! Listen to me?!"
The two people behind him, the older one and the younger one, completely ignored him who was shouting, chatted, and headed towards the couple's home.
