"Yeah, um, no need. Yes, I'm at Lixing-san's place, along with my sister and a few other friends. We've made an appointment to come together."
Tohsaka Rin held the phone obediently because the person opposite was the homeroom teacher Soichiro Kuzuki.
"Thank you teacher for your concern and invitation. I wish you a happy winter night. Well, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, she slightly rolled her eyes. Why did I subconsciously answer the ringing phone? It almost scared me to death. And why did Mr. Kuzumu know the number here?
Oh yes, Tachiboshi used this phone to ask him for leave. Teacher Kuzumu still cares about Tachibana very much.
"Have you finished the phone call? Put your feet up."
There was a slightly harsh voice next to her, and Tohsaka Rin quickly shouted, turned around and moved away. Then she saw Mordred taking the mop and rubbing it on the ground she just stepped on, and then dragged it to other places furiously, rubbing the ground all over.
Brilliant.
"Okay, have you wiped the soles of your shoes?"
"Yeah, yes."
Tohsaka Rin responded and left. At a glance, he saw Arturia rubbing the corners with a rag, and Weber who was watering flowers outside the window.
In the kitchen, Tatexing and Sakura were also busy preparing the most sumptuous winter night dinner.
Among the three people who don't work, the King of Conqueror and Lion Jie, who are playing chess, are ordered to do their own thing because they are really not good at housework and make trouble when they do it. As for the little ghost Cupid who is peeling candy to eat, it is just pure love.
Too lazy.
If you're a glutton, eat more. You'll regret it when you can't eat dinner.
Tohsaka Rin cursed, squatted down, washed a rag, and started doing it with Artoria. There was no need to ask why he answered the phone. He stayed here for ten days and got along well with everyone, so he subconsciously
I felt that I was also the owner of this place, so I took it easily.
If others are comfortable with it, they will probably be able to do it too.
'Winter night, so fast.'
'Well, it's not the end of the world. At most... it means saying goodbye to a few people.'
In the kitchen, the bacteria that had been working in the body had calmed down. Ji Xing, who was skillfully playing with a kitchen knife, asked casually: "Xiaoying, are you worried?"
Xiaoying, who was choosing vegetables, raised her head and subconsciously glanced outside, hearing Ji Xing say: "They can't hear it, and it doesn't matter if they hear it."
Sakura hummed and then asked, "Will you leave again tonight?"
Unless someone can kill me. Ji Xing answered in his heart and asked: "I haven't asked you yet, Sakura. I just found out a few days ago that Jin Shining Shining was summoned with my bamboo hat. I always thought that the bamboo hat was already there."
It has disappeared.
It was probably preserved by being contaminated by the golden aura of the Heroic Soul Constellation. Why do you want to summon me? Could it be that ten years have passed and you still haven't gotten over the memory of the torture in the insect warehouse?"
"I don't know either." Xiaoying was silent for a moment and replied: "I think I don't care anymore, but I always..."
"Maybe you have come out, but the people around you have not." Ji Xing commented: "Rin, Tokiomi Tokiomi, and Aoi Tohsaka, they have not come out. They will always subconsciously make up for their debts to you.
Subconsciously, I feel that you are still the girl who was sent to the Matou family and suffered.
Although they are family members, they treat you with caution from time to time, constantly reminding you that you have an unfortunate past, which makes you feel very conflicted."
Sakura blinked and said with some realization: "Probably...that's what it looks like. What I can notice is that my mother behaves most obviously, and even my father and Rin do it occasionally.
For example, the night I summoned the King of Heroes with your bamboo hat, I... really didn’t know what to say to my sister. Also, when I used the clothes I saved from my childhood to dress up Kama, I found that she could also relate to it.
I can't forget the past, but it's really just a memory."
"Continuous imagination will deepen the shadow of the soul. When they think of the suffering you have suffered in trivial life, they will become more and more sensitive, but this also shows that they have a very real love for you. Slowly get used to it and neutralize it.
That’ll be fine.”
Ji Xing shook his head: "You haven't answered me yet, why did you summon me?"
Sakura paused and replied with a bright smile: "It's just because of now."
Ji Xing was startled and said with a smile: "Little girl, you have really grown up and you can tease me."
Xiaoying blushed and lowered her head to choose the dishes, then whispered: "I know you can understand me, and I also want you to see me now, so that you know that I have lived up to your expectations.
And...Uncle Kariya, I really expected to win the Holy Grail War."
"Matō Kariya, if I was who I am now ten years ago, I could easily save him. It's really a pity." Ji Xing said.
"Well..." Sakura responded in a low voice and changed the subject: "You haven't answered my question yet. Are you leaving again tonight? Where is your body? Well... how old are you? Yes.
A little more like Tong Yuan or a little like now?"
"If I can't help it, I won't leave. As for the real body, it's very, very far away. I can't tell. As for my age, I'm too lazy to forget it. I'll always be eighteen."
"...You didn't answer anything?!" Sakura showed a little dissatisfaction.
"Haha..." Ji Xing laughed.
Tohsaka Rin, who walked through the glass door of the kitchen carrying a rag, watched his sister's expression change from anger to a happy smile, and blinked... Huh?
…
Winter Night is a festival, and it is likely to be the 'last supper' before the decisive battle, so it is natural that it will be more sumptuous.
Only Ji Xing can be busy but not in a hurry. In less than two hours, a large table has been set up. There are all kinds of cold, hot and soup dishes. Chicken, duck, fish, beef and sheep are all kinds of dishes, with a total of 17 dishes.
Should everyone take a photo together?
I don’t know who first proposed this matter, and it was unanimously approved. But the question arises. With everyone standing around the round table, who will take the photo?
With a serious look on his face, Weber was calculating what magic trick to use and what angle to achieve a good shooting effect. The corners of Tohsaka Rin's mouth suddenly sank.
"No need, the people taking pictures are here."
Everyone was aware of it, and the next moment they saw a flash of golden light in the room, and the still shining golden light appeared in front of everyone.
As a result, the festive atmosphere became deserted, and Mordred showed this most obviously.
"Tsk, the annoying guy showed up."
"Hahaha, the last dinner before the expedition should have been a lot, let alone one of the protagonists tonight!" The King of Conquerors didn't care the least: "But the King of Heroes suddenly came uninvited, at least provide some fine wine and gold cups, right?"
"
"Huh, I don't need you to tell me about that kind of thing." Jin Shining said: "I don't have the habit of squandering food, I just want to make a final confirmation that you won't cause trouble tonight. Things like fine wine, I
There are countless in the treasure house, and although these on the table are full of color and fragrance, they are just ordinary palace cooking skills in Uruk."
He still doesn't want to be heard when he speaks.
However, the gold jug and gold goblet he then took out from the treasure house, as well as the intoxicating fragrance, finally prevented Mordred from becoming violent on the spot.
This guy still has some quality... She thought this way, and the Conqueror King took the initiative to fill up the glasses for the drinking people, and the aroma of wine overflowed.
"Also, let's take a picture for everyone." Tohsaka Rin took advantage of the situation and suggested, and gave Jin Shanshan the work camera that Shishi Jie carried.
Jin Shining was silent for a moment, and the people at the table were already posing... Under the armpit of the laughing Conqueror, Weber looked helpless, and the father and son, who were holding hands and gradually smiling, went to Mordred's side.
Lens of Lion Tribulation.
The Tosaka sisters, who tilted their heads like flowers and opened to both sides, Ji Xing who was placed behind them with a smile, and Kama who jumped high on Ji Xing's shoulders and made a cute face...
"Hurry up!"
Jin Shining endured it again and again, feeling that she really shouldn't come, so she finally took a few steps back and raised her camera.
Then the camera flashed the flash on Jin Shining's hand. Although there was no golden sparkle, it finally recorded the shining scene.
"Hahaha, hiss~ha~"
Seeing that the photo was taken, the King of Conquerors who couldn't wait was the first to drink a glass of wine, closed his eyes and said with emotion: "Fine wine! It is indeed good wine! Alas, what a pity, you should have come earlier, King of Heroes!
Everyone, should we still follow the old rule and let the person who tastes it for the first time be the first to use chopsticks?"
Without him having to say anything, Jin Shining already sat at the head seat and picked up the chopsticks unceremoniously, "If I don't taste the king's feast first, do you still have the right to come first?"
For the sake of taking pictures, the others endured it and looked forward to watching his reaction.
What is the level of the chef in the Uruk palace? Don’t be kidding, then you were no longer a king, and you had to live like a god every day!
Jin Shining was aware of this expectation and didn't take it seriously. Until he picked a chopstick of mutton and put it in his mouth, his expression suddenly became dead.
Hey, be patient and don't be 'embarrassed' like us, King of Heroes! When Mordred saw this, he suddenly felt gloating in his heart, and everyone else looked at him with a smile.
Jin Shining slowly chewed and swallowed, then raised his head and looked at Ji Xing. Thousands of emotions seemed to be flashing in his eyes, but in the end he only said: "Humph, I really have you."
Most people didn't notice the difference and just thought that Ji Xing's cooking skills had conquered another person and that the King of Heroes was just trying to show calmness.
Ji Xing smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, everyone... let's just start eating. After a while, the hot dishes will be cold and the taste will be bad. This is the last meal, so don't leave any regrets."
"What, say something unlucky." Mordred immediately said: "Well, it's really sad to say it. If the Holy Grail War is going to end tonight, it will really be the last meal for us...
Sigh, so...I won't be polite to you any more when you grab food tonight!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I picked up my chopsticks, and my hands were like afterimages, spinning!
"Hey, hey, you're so cunning! Use sad words to influence us, so you can eat it yourself, right?"
As Shishi Jie complained, tonight's feast officially started. In the midst of the wind and clouds, Jin Shining Shan still held up his chopsticks and stared at Ji Xing. It was not until Ji Xing made a gesture of invitation that he hummed and joined the five groups of masters.
The feast of heroic spirits.
Outside the window, the afterglow of the sun completely disappeared.
Winter night has officially arrived!
