After returning to the present world from Avalon, it was already late at night, the sky was full of stars, the cold moon was leisurely, and the Emiya residence, which looked a bit weird in the night due to its overall collapse, was completely quiet.
The owner of the mansion, Shirou Emiya, and his servant Saber were standing at the door of the dojo. Because we had spoken before, neither of them took a step forward until the door of the dojo was pushed open from the inside and they came forward.
"Tohsaka has left?"
I didn't see the young lady with twin tails in red. Even though I was sure, I still asked casually.
"I've gone back a long time ago, after all, it's already this time."
Emiya nodded, and then asked impatiently: "Where is Sakura? How is she now?"
Before, we only said that we could help him get rid of the marking bugs in Sakura Matou's body, and treat her body that was completely damaged by it, but we didn't tell him the specific process. Now that Emiya didn't see Sakura coming out with us, he was naturally a little anxious.
.
"She is in a very safe place now," I waved to Emiya, "Use our technology for treatment, no one can disturb you in the middle, but the process should not take a few days, how about you do it yourself?"
"How about what?" Emiya blinked in confusion, "What's wrong with me?"
"What are you going to do now? Learn swordsmanship from Saber for one night, break through the golden elixir level the next day, and on the third day use the colorful auspicious clouds to destroy the entire Matou family?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds terrible..."
Emiya Shirou was dumbfounded after listening to my words, and then said with a cold sweat on his head.
Looking at the other person's eyes, I was surprised to find that this guy seemed to have changed a little bit.
Holding the idea of becoming a sexual partner, and even seriously considering it as his life goal, such a seemingly naive ideal seems really naive at first, but if you know that he will not only stick to this idea for life, but even end up
He fought for it, became the guardian of Alaya, and achieved the level of a heroic spirit. This persistence cannot be described as childish.
That is simply a single-minded and short-sighted spirit even more exaggerated than that of Xiling Apostle!
Well, the above sentence is actually a compliment - do you believe it?
A single-minded guy is always terrible once he perseveres. The Xiling apostle, who was once as weak as ordinary mortals, entered the realm of gods because he could not understand failure.
Transforming into a heroic spirit is all the result of one muscle. Therefore, looking at Emiya who has now begun to actively try to become stronger, I will not underestimate his seemingly small and pitiful progress and efforts at the moment.
Moreover, I have vaguely discovered that this Emiya is slightly different from the one in the original work. Although he still has the same kind of hopeless good guy character, the one in front of me seems to be more decisive and has more goals. Perhaps this is because
Knowing the subtle changes caused by knowing Sakura's incident in advance, I don't know whether the "ultimate ***" concept he believes in will eventually change because of this, or even be denied by himself, but at least, now it seems that the real version of Emiya
It's much more pleasing to the eye than in the original work.
"Keep working hard, young man," I patted Emiya on the shoulder, and the corners of my mouth turned white, "but at this hour, it seems like I should rest."
Shandora immediately pulled my sleeve and said pitifully: "But Arjun, I haven't had dinner yet..."
Were the several kilograms of fruit you just ate in Avalon just snacks?
Moreover, how should I put it, it seems that when Sandora said the word "dinner" just now, a certain young man from the new century who claimed to be the messenger of Japan and planned to save all mankind with great ambition suddenly became rickety.
He fell down, even his calves trembled and made a gesture of escape.
Young Emiya, what do you mean by such a reaction! Does this still look like a great hero who saves the common people? Does this still fit the style of the protagonist of your original work? Don't be frightened into this by a heartless blond girl with just one sentence.
Ah! Cheer up, audience, and go cook for my girlfriend!
Okay, I'm sorry to apologize. Sandora's dinner is indeed enough to make most people tremble and run away. As the host, Emiya-kun, it's good that you can persist until now.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Sisters Ruiko and Pandora must have been too sleepy to go back to the house to sleep. Moreover, looking at the miserable state of Emiya's residence after the earthquake, the victim Emiya-san endured the physical and mental trauma and returned to the house.
It's a bit cruel to prepare dinner for a treasury-level foodie - in fact, in less than two days, Sandora has eaten as much as Emiya usually eats for a whole month. For
To prevent a good young man who was worried about his country and his people from going bankrupt and starving to death because of a foodie, after saying hello to Emiya, I decisively took Sandora out to look for food.
"Well, Ajun, I want to eat a few tables of Manchu and Han banquets first..."
Her Majesty the Queen, who was hungry because she had not eaten dinner on time, made a request that made people cry.
It's terrible. Without the support of the empire's logistics, it would be terrible to have a girlfriend like this.
But how can I put it, if there are no special requirements, Sandora is actually quite easy to raise.
Although the appetite is a bit scary, one good thing about Sandora is that she is not picky about food. Well, she is very not picky about food. This magical girl can eat everything according to the periodic table of elements, and she has no requirements for nutritional value.
If I hadn't pampered her, I would probably find a random prairie, let Sandora out during the day to let her hunt for food, and call her back at night to pat her and comfort her, and she would still be able to survive...
Well, if there is no grassland, it might be enough to just throw an uninhabited planet to her. As long as the gravitational constant of the planet plummets, it can be recovered quickly.
Should I call this a free-range Sandora program?
"Arjun, why do I feel like you are thinking a lot of very rude things?"
Sandora suddenly stopped, turned her head slightly, and said in a rather dangerous tone.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about what kind of dinner I can prepare for you!" I said calmly with a cold sweat on the back of my head.
Oh my god, there is absolutely no truth in this sentence! I was indeed thinking about this just now.
"Well, really," Shandora, who was used to believing whatever I said, nodded stupidly in agreement, and then she suddenly cheered as if she had discovered a new world, grabbed my arm and ran in one direction, "Arjun! There is indeed something ahead of me.
Something to eat!”
I was almost thrown into the air by Shandora, and I barely managed to keep up with Her Majesty the Queen, who was already thinking only about food. Only then did I have time to focus my eyes on the front. As expected, I found that there was a person on the street not far away.
A small barbecue restaurant in operation.
Because there are relatively dense residents nearby and there is a theater that is open late, it is normal for there to be one or two barbecue stalls open until 11 pm at the intersection nearby, but if you encounter such a barbecue stall
It's a bit surprising for a girl who usually behaves like a perfect good girl and a well-mannered young lady.
"Rin!" I greeted the other party, and Sandora next to me could not wait to urge the stall owner to bake all the ingredients at full speed for her to eat.
"Wow, alien...cough cough," Rin Tosaka almost choked after saying a forbidden word. He coughed violently for a long time before regaining his breath, "Is it Mr. Chen, are you out for barbecue so late?"
I had no choice but to stand next to Sandora, who was already grinding her teeth: "My girlfriend is hungry."
Then Miss Tohsaka said in awe.
"On the other hand, you, with your status as a young lady, are eating barbecue outside at almost eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. Is it really okay?"
"I suddenly wanted to go out and relax, and I happened to see this barbecue stall."
Tohsaka Rin said pretending not to care, but she was still a little embarrassed when she raised the barbecue in her hand. Anyway, she was used to showing her perfect side in front of others, but now she was caught in front of the night barbecue stall with her mouth full of oil.
Eating meat skewers is really a bit embarrassing.
And it's obvious that she didn't tell the truth. Maybe it wasn't to guard against me, an "alien", but she didn't want the ordinary barbecue guy to be involved.
Just as he thought of the barbecue man, the stall owner's voice rang out from beside him, with serious confusion and doubt, as if his own views had just been denied: "This guest..."
I could almost guess what he wanted to say, so I answered without raising my head: "If this girl wants to trouble her, just bake her whatever she wants. She'll finish eating."
The stall owner's tone was full of sadness: "That's not it. This lady just bit a stainless steel plate..."
I turned back in horror, and Sandora turned around while biting the plate that was severely deformed and even missing a small piece, and smiled brightly at me.
Oops! This silly girl is used to eating a plate before meals at home!!
I can't remember clearly what kind of expression the stall owner had in sending troublemakers like us away. The plate that Sandora bit into was finally bought by me, because I really
I can’t imagine how horrified the uncle would be when he discovered that the stainless steel plate didn’t just have a few teeth marks, but an entire piece was missing. His hands were filled with a pile of barbecue that could support two people to death.
With a heartless smile, Sandora followed us for a walk in the silent park late at night. This behavior made Rin Tohsaka, who came with us, always have an expression of disbelief.
When we first met, Sandora's noble and elegant image would always be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even Tohsaka, an eldest lady who had received a real aristocratic education from a big family, was deeply impressed by Sandora's eyes, but she didn't like her.
Compared with her usual cold, arrogant and noble appearance in front of outsiders, the way this girl's image completely collapsed when she started eating is probably even more impressive, right?
"Coming out so late shouldn't be just to relax, right?"
I glanced at Tohsaka, who was silent next to me, and then said in a nonchalant tone. At the same time, my mental power shook slightly, and the energy around me immediately entered chaos. Archer, who had become invisible as a spirit, also appeared with a surprised expression.
"Stealth peeping is the exclusive domain of aliens." Facing the dissatisfied look in the red trench coat man's eyes, I replied lightly, but Tohsaka on the other side complained on the spot: "Don't mention it, I know there are often aliens secretly hiding on the earth.
I didn’t sleep a wink all night on the day of photography!”
I responded with a silly smile, "I'm sorry, miss, you are too big."
"Because Archer found something here, I came here to check it out."
Considering that she had no conflict of interest and was still half of her own family, Tohsaka did not keep my doubts going for too long. As for the "discovery of something" she said, it was probably traces of the activities of hostile magicians.
According to Tohsaka, she and Archer have been wandering around here at night for the past two days, but so far, they have found nothing.
It seems that even outside the chaotic and joyful daily life of Emiya Residence, the undercurrents of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City have never stopped, but how many of these undercurrents have subtly changed because of our arrival?
That's unknown.
"Being a magician seems to be really hard work."
There is no pretense at all, my sigh is completely from the bottom of my heart. If she were an ordinary girl, at Tohsaka Rin's age, she should still be studying peacefully in school, receiving the care of her parents at home, and occasionally going out to go shopping and have fun with friends.
She is young, but the girl in front of her has to shoulder the burden of the entire family, and even struggles in the so-called Holy Grail War where she may die at any time. Although there are already a lot of doll heads in the family who bite lollipops and come out to save the world, she still feels far away.
Ban is pretty awesome.
"It's ridiculous, in your eyes, human beings."
I don't know what came to mind, Tohsaka Rin suddenly said this.
"I can see how powerful your technological power is - although it is strange for a magician to say such things. The powerful heroic spirits cannot even deal with the children among you. In your opinion, human civilization as a whole is no better than a paramecium.
How much? But no matter how ridiculous it is in your eyes, it is of great significance to me."
"I think you misunderstood..." I hurriedly explained, but just as I started to speak, a wave of energy rushing from a distance interrupted the next words.
Looking at Sandora, we immediately opened the space invisible force field, and at the same time folded Tohsaka and Archer into the space crack.
Although Tohsaka doesn't know what the transparent barrier that suddenly appeared in front of her is and how much of an invisibility effect it can have, it is obvious that the enemy approaching quickly cannot give her more time to evade, plus the impact on our strength.
Trusting her, she had no choice but to stay where she was, staring at the due north with vigilant eyes.
A blurry dot was zooming in from there, and in an instant it was less than a hundred meters in front of us. It turned out to be a sixteen-year-old girl wearing a simple pink dress, with blond hair that just reached her shoulders, and a proud face.
Seven year old girl.
The only thing that is not commensurate with that cute appearance is the huge magic power that the other party exuded from her body just now. It cannot be concealed, or it is simply disdainful to conceal it. The magic power on the unknown girl in front almost makes the nearby air tremble.
It became sticky.
"Strange, why is there no one?"
With amazing hearing... well, with an invisible monitor floating near the mouth of that wild girl, the muttering sound of the other party talking to herself was clearly transmitted to our ears. It was obvious.
, the other party knew about our existence from the beginning and came here, but now it has lost its target due to the effect of the invisible force field.
"Who is this girl?"
While nibbling on the meat skewers in her hand, Shandora used her mental connection to ask. For her, the biggest significance of mental connection is not the convenience of battlefield communication, but that she can talk without stopping to eat?
"God knows." I can only answer this. Although I know a lot more about the plot than Sandora, it seems that there is no such girl in the original work, right?
Uh, wait, it doesn't seem like it doesn't exist. A certain bad association just crossed my mind in an instant.
The nameless wild girl looked around but couldn't find the shadow of the enemy, or even the slightest energy fluctuation. She immediately showed a very angry expression, stamped her feet heavily and said: "Damn it! It's all the fault of that idiot spearman.
!How dare you deceive me, I must let that untouchable die a good death ten thousand times after I go back!"
My king? This mantra seems to be...
No, is this world really going crazy?
Ding-dang! Don’t tell me that the hairy girl in front of me, who is only 1.6 meters tall and looks like a hot-blooded idiot, is Jin Shining! Your sister, this is a very rigorous and passionate sci-fi novel about salvation, okay?
good!
But, I really hate this word. However, it seems that God is really trying to make things difficult for me today. A seemingly golden girl just made me complain**, and another thing that makes my whole body hurt is nothing.
Happened ominously.
There was a scream. It was unmistakable. It was the kind of high-pitched scream that a huge mass body cuts through the air at high speed and shuttles through the atmosphere. Not counting my own time, I have heard this sound twice!
It’s a fucking landing module, right? Where did the landing module come from this time?
The burst of complaints in my heart made me almost unable to control myself and flipped the imaginary coffee table. What made me flip the table even more was the emergency line that came from the shadow base in my mind: "Report
Sir! There's an emergency!"
"Go on, Sivis, I can stand it."
"Little Bubble secretly climbed into a New Eden Federation battle cruiser that was undergoing maintenance at the airport, and then the entire battle cruiser was suddenly activated and rushed into the gate of the world!"
At this moment, I burst into tears, but I still managed to calm down and comfort the executive officers of the imperial capital who were probably in a mess on the other side: "It's okay, that silly kid is already here, just tell me whether the battlecruiser will
