There will always be evil thoughts in people's hearts.
No matter how generous and honest a person is, he will occasionally have a desire for destruction in his heart. He will do things in fantasy that he usually thinks about but dare not do. Generally speaking, it is lust. Matou Shinji, who grew up in a special environment, naturally also has this desire. .
If there are no special circumstances, the timidity, restraint, and rationality in his heart will prevent him from taking action throughout his life, but when he is forced and guided, this desire will take over.
The last straw that broke the camel's back was a photo. In the photo, the Tosaka sisters were walking to the left and right next to an ordinary boy, smiling and chatting. Next to them, there was an astonishingly beautiful blond girl carrying large bags and small bags. Meat and vegetables are obviously on the way home from grocery shopping.
Matou Shinji recognized it for a long time before vaguely remembering that there should be such a boy in Tohsaka Rin's class, his name was Hayakawa or something, a little transparent.
So...damn it, why should he? !
Jealous and unwilling, he wanted to take away that beauty and destroy their smiles, so the devil based on his wish was born.
He was not surprised that it was a bug. The shadow of his childhood eventually turned into his yearning, but...
Matou Shinji stared at the bug in front of him.
The imprinting bug in my memory was dirty and terrifying, but the red and yellow bug in front of me had a pair of oversized eyes and three tentacles sticking out of its head. Overall, it looked very cartoony and cute.
“This…” He looked at Mei Lian.
Mei Lian was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Although it took a long time, I finally caught up. This is a perfect painting."
Perfect? "This kind of thing, this kind of thing can really fulfill my wish?!"
“Hmm~” Mei Lian hummed softly, stretched out his finger and pointed forward.
The cartoon bug crawled quickly and arrived at the wall in an instant. It opened its mouth, revealing two rows of cold, sharp teeth that did not match its appearance.
Shinji Tong couldn't see clearly what he was doing after that, but in an instant, a thumb-sized hole opened in the outer wall, and the cartoon bug crawled out and disappeared.
“It’s so sharp…”
Matō Shinji was in a trance for a moment, and almost jumped up in the next moment. Only then did he realize that the ground under his feet had been covered with these cartoon bugs before he knew it!
They scrambled, stacked and pushed, moving forward comically like some funny cartoons, until they came to the wall, gnawed, broke through, climbed down or jumped down the wall, and swam out of sight.
As Mei Lian danced his hands like a musician, more and more cartoon bugs appeared on the ground, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands!
Starting from Matou’s house, flocking to Fuyuki!
Matō Shinji stared blankly for a while, then a trademark Erye smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
…
At Emiya Kiritsugu Base, life has been going well during this period.
There is an extra Kallen who bickers with Illya every day. Her sharp and vicious language and maturity that does not suit her age often make Illya jump with anger, but as long as Illya is not hurt, Kiritsugu will not He would be too protective of his shortcomings, and even occasionally find it interesting to watch from the sidelines.
This is the happiness that belongs to the ‘dad’.
In the process of getting along, he discovered something that Illya had always lacked, playmates of the same age.
Of course, Karen is not quite qualified yet. This little nun seems to follow her father a little bit. She is born with a malicious nature, and she seems to have two personalities due to the teachings of the church. It would be very appropriate to describe her as a 'holy devil'. If they were in contact for a long time, he would have to worry about bringing Illya down.
Kallen didn’t know what words she said in front of her to anger Illya, causing Illya to stare upwards like a calf soaring into the sky, while Kallen lowered her head and looked back with a provocative smile.
His forehead was pressed against his forehead. Emiya Kiritsugu, who was used to it, only glanced at it twice before turning his gaze to the night outside the window.
“Winter night, eight o’clock in the evening...only less than an hour and a half away from now.”
“Ah!” Suddenly, Ilia’s exclamation made him turn his head suddenly.
In sight, her beloved daughter was fine. Kallen, who had the upper hand just now, now sat down on the ground with a painful look on her face. A clear smell of blood came from the nun's costume.
“I, I didn’t hit you…”
Ilia was a little panicked, but then she turned her eyes and jumped back a step: "Humph~ You want to lie to me again? You want to jump up suddenly to scare me, right?"
Emiya Kiritsugu noticed something strange and quickly took a few steps closer. Li Shuwen also appeared early and looked at Karen with a little pity.
"What's wrong? Is this a disease... or some kind of special constitution?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked.
"It's... a masochistic psychic medium." Kallen bit her lip and said in a slight panic: "I have never been so... hurt like this, so many demons, countless, countless demons!"
“Devil?” Emiya Kiritsugu stared.
"Eh? No, aren't you just pretending?" Illya looked at Kallen, whose bangs were wet with sweat from the pain, and murmured slightly absentmindedly.
…
"finished!"
The atmosphere on the top floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel among magicians like Maris Billy was festive.
Just now, Magic King Solomon told them that his transformation of the Holy Grail system was finally completed, and the Holy Grail was successfully connected to the Great Source.
There were no surprises during these ten torturous days, and the Magic King also achieved his goal as promised. How could they not be happy?
The completion of the transformation of the Holy Grail system means that after the Holy Grail War, the Clock Tower can take control of the Holy Grail as desired, and use this Holy Grail as a basis to continuously summon heroic spirits in a form different from the Holy Grail War.
Let the sages come into the world, let legends flow on the earth, and push magic to a new peak!
At the same time, this also means that the only one who needs to be wary of this Holy Grail War is Tong Yuan, and the chance of winning is greatly increased! Because King Solomon is the top summoner, using the Holy Grail system he modified is too much to guarantee, but summoning another seven-horse heroic spirit will definitely not be a big problem!
The advantage is mine, what do I have to lose? !
“Thank you for your hard work, Lord Magic King.” Led by Lorelai, everyone gave King Solomon the highest courtesy as a magician.
Solomon stood in front of them, quietly accepting this courtesy.
Those who receive divine grace are no longer human beings.
As a king, Solomon only showed one divine grace and one miracle, and spent most of the rest of his time sitting on the throne.
Look at everything with a smile, no matter whether the people are poor or rich, no matter what hardships they endure in life or old age, or whether they live happily.
The king is the belief of the people and the symbol of the country. He will not interfere too much in the lives of ordinary people. He does not seem to have complex human emotions.
This feeling is fleeting.
The Magic King is still so calm.
At the Weber base, the banquet is coming to an end.
The dishes on the 17 large plates were basically all emptied, and everyone who was full was basically incapable of fighting. Only Arturia stood up from time to time and used chopsticks to pick out some leftover delicious food and stuff it into her mouth.
Only Jin Shining's posture is still elegant. The King of Heroes is a proud King of Heroes after all, and he maintains his grace well in the face of this delicious food.
He picked up the wine jug that seemed to be able to pour out an infinite amount of fine wine, filled his own wine glass, looked across and said, "Wouldn't you like to share a drink?"
If these words were said to the King of Conquerors, although it would be surprising, it would be nothing. Even if it were said to Arturia, it would be barely appropriate.
But sitting directly opposite him was Ji Xing.
Rin Tosaka, who was sitting on a chair and picking his teeth, was suddenly startled. He looked around and said: "Even if you want to respect the cook, you have to look at Tatexing's age. In our country, you are not allowed to drink alcohol before the age of 20!"
To her surprise, others didn't react much to this incident, but the atmosphere around the dinner table was a little weird...were they all too full to speak?
At this moment, Ji Xing stood up and took the wine bottle, filled it himself, and pushed the glass to Jin Shining: "Cheers, King of Heroes."
Jin Shining smiled and the two drank together.
Tohsaka Rin: "Hey..."
Ji Xing sipped the wine and said, "It's not bad, but it's probably worse than what I brewed myself."
Jin Shining didn't refute, but the Conqueror King shouted dissatisfied: "You really know how to make wine, why are you hiding it from everyone?!"
“That would be too time-consuming, and the material requirements are higher than cooking. It’s too late.” Ji Xing smiled and said, “There will be a chance in the future.”
The Conquering King moved his lips but did not speak again.
Tohsaka Rin's mind was already a little blank. She noticed something, but she looked around uncertainly: "You...Tachiboshi..."
"You also said that you want to give me advice, little girl..." Jin Shining smiled: "But I don't blame you. The only one this guy is deliberately hiding is you, or only me. You can't see his disguise. Nothing more than normal.”
He pointed out the name: "Tong Yuan, I have been tricked by you again. Nothing can hide from my 'omniscient and omnipotent star', only the **** who are not worthy of my use and will pollute its spirit." .
When you got along with me, you played the role of an ordinary young man very well, and even used the Noble Phantasm I gave you to become your master. Before today, I had never doubted you. "
Tong Yuan... Tohsaka Rin's eyes widened in confusion, what is Tong Yuan? Who is Tong Yuan? Ritsuke-san? The one from ten years ago? !
“I have been looking for black Archer’s pseudo-servers these days, and my attention was completely drawn to them. This is my loss.
Although I said I would be serious this time, you still took advantage of your character, saying, "Is the more dangerous the place, the safer it is?" Humph, I didn’t even see through this boring strategy. "
Jin Shining is in self-examination... This is shocking, but Tohsaka Rin has no intention of paying attention at this time.
Her mind recalled the scenes after she became familiar with Ji Xing—the surprise when she unexpectedly discovered that he had mastered magic, the collapse when she learned that he had the qualifications to be a master, and the sympathy when she learned that he was an orphan caused by the Holy Grail War ten years ago...
"Impossible! Tachiboshi has been my classmate for two years!" She stood up suddenly, looked around and said, "Aren't you surprised? Even Sakura..."
Sakura gave her an apologetic smile.
"I confirmed it on the second day after you moved in, Lin." Weber said, "Actually, I had suspicions earlier, but they were all resolved.
I can detect it because of you, Rin... On the night when the magician attacked the Tosaka house, Tachiboshi and Tōbuchi-senpai insisted on going to the Tosaka house. At that time, what I felt was a boy's admiration for the opposite sex, but after you moved in, I But I found that he gets along with you very naturally, without too much affection.
It was then speculated that he insisted on going that night because he sensed that you were in danger, and he was the water magician who took action. Based on the boldest guess based on his age, there was only one outcome. "
That night... the one who saved me... Tohsaka Rin looked at Kama. Kama spread his hands and said, "I don't know any water-based magic. He instigated me to lie to you. Don't blame me. And what did he say to you?" Yuan', I don't know at all."
This is irrefutable evidence. Tosaka Rin was startled. Is he the one who saved me? Doesn't that mean that counting the time ten years ago, I was rescued twice without knowing it?
She looked at Sakura again, and Sakura whispered: "It wasn't Kama who told me, it was senior who told me after I came here that day, but senior asked me to keep it secret for the time being, so..."
"I'm with Weber, and Weber guessed that he didn't hide it from me." King Conqueror said: "Of course, I have also noticed something before. Although his behavior is no different from that of a teenager, his mind is a little stronger than his age. "
"As a Servant, I only discovered it about five days ago." Artoria shook her head: "This was because he was practicing some kind of magic and suddenly cut off my magic supply, so I rushed there and found out. A little bit of a clue.”
"I was the last one, two days ago." Lion Jie said: "This senior didn't want to hide it much anymore, so he killed me in the chess game, and I didn't realize anything was wrong until I didn't have a single piece left."
“I mainly want to inform Mordred.” Ji Xing added for him.
Mordred snorted lightly. He learned about it from Lion Jie that night. He recalled his acquaintance with Ji Xing, the 'landlord', and then recalled the details of how he and his father were 'matched up'. Then he broke into Ji Xing's room directly, 'Almost 'Wring Ji Xing's neck.
If he had been kept secret until now and only found out today, he would have to be stabbed!
"This, this..." Tohsaka Rin was a little confused. Is Tachiboshi really the Tong Yuan from ten years ago, and am I the only one who doesn't know? !
“You...hid it well.”
Everyone gestured to the messy dining table.
There's nothing you can do about it, eating people has a short mouth.
Tohsaka Rin was speechless, which was reasonable.
“Why is this happening?!”
“You shallow bastards.” Jin Shining Shining’s words were still not pleasant to listen to, but he did not hesitate to praise: “Using the simplest process to maximize the deliciousness of food is an extraordinary skill that ordinary people can possess.
Even if it is a banquet hosted by God the Father, the treasures in it are naturally worth ten thousand times more than this mortal delicacy, but the taste is still a bit inferior. Even the Kitchen God's skills are only 80-90% of this. "
Having more knowledge is great. Jin Shining Shining has really eaten good food, so she realized that tonight's meal was so good that it shouldn't exist. It was only when she took the first bite that she realized something was wrong.
He looked at Ji Xing and said: "Concealing it is nothing more than preparation for delay. You didn't have the confidence to face me before, but today, are you ready to be cut to pieces by me?!"
The atmosphere solidified instantly.
Ji Xing stood up with a smile: "It's not that I don't have the confidence to face you, it's just that I don't want you to disturb my practice. We actually have no grudges, it's just that I embarrassed you last time as my opponent.
But if I say that I want to make peace with you, you probably won’t agree. Then...just consider me ready. What about your fight with the Magic King Solomon? "
“It’s okay, just warming up.”
4k2, and. The old rule is to strive for 12 o'clock and no later than 12:30.
