Amidst the melodious hymns, Kurano Tsumi opened his eyes, stretched greatly, and then slowly climbed up from the bed.
Looking at himself with messy hair in the mirror, he turned on the faucet and started washing up. Although it was a guest room in a church, the toiletries were all available. Apart from the simple layout, the rest of the configuration could be said to be different from that of a small hotel.
No different.
Putting on the clean monk's clothes prepared for him in the closet, Kurano Tsumi couldn't help but grin when he looked at himself in the mirror. If he had a Bible in his hand, he would look no different from the priest outside.
After trying hard to push down the few strands of raised hair, he opened the door and left the room. Soon he saw a familiar figure in the corridor.
"Good morning, Mr. Bishop."
"Good morning, Kuruno-kun."
The young bishop nodded slightly, then took out a small glass bottle from his pocket and handed it to Ryonatsu, "This is the antidote to the toxin. You only need to take one pill."
"Is this the cure?"
Looking at the dark red pills in the glass bottle, Kurano Tsumi unscrewed the cap and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Uh...hiss..."
Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and for a moment it was as if the color jar had been overturned, and it was colorful. Berserker appeared next to Kureno Tsumi, looking at him with concern, and at the same time he looked at the young bishop warily, pretending to be
The small bottle of liquid Noble Phantasm appeared in his hand.
"No...it's okay...berserker."
Kurano Tsumi shook his arm and covered his mouth, his voice was unclear, "It's just that the taste of the medicine is too, too... weird?"
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of an adjective that could accurately sum up the taste of this pill. It was like pepper-flavored mints mixed with salt.
"By the way, the poisoned girl..." Kurano Tsumi seemed to have thought of something.
"The poison on her body has been removed. Not only that, we have also removed the spell set by the Linglong Palace family on her body."
At this point, the young bishop's voice paused slightly, "In other words, she is free now."
During the conversation, they had arrived at the medical room, and the young bishop opened the door. In front of the wide transparent floor-to-ceiling window, a slender girl was sitting on the bedside, looking out the window in ecstasy, with picturesque features like white porcelain.
The skin reflects the rays of the morning sun, and from a distance it looks like a quiet picture.
No matter what, Kurino Tatsumi could not connect the delicate girl in front of him with the one she was last night. It felt like she was a completely different person.
She was so absorbed in looking out the window that she didn't even notice Lai Ye Xun and the others came in.
"Kurino-kun, we learned an important piece of information from the memory of this android girl."
The young bishop's voice rang in Lai Yexun's ears.
"The Dead Apostles who appeared in Tokyo not long ago are all tools created by the Reilongkan Family in order to win the Holy Grail War, including the one you met last night."
Although the young bishop's voice was soft, it was no less than a thunder in Lai Yexun's heart.

"Are you listening to me? The child's father."
The woman wearing a beige printed apron said worriedly. Her hair mixed with gray and white strands was combed into a single ponytail and placed in front of her shoulders. She put down the kitchen utensils in her hands, looking restless.
"What's wrong, the child's mother."
The man who was reading the newspaper raised his head, adjusted the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, and showed a puzzled expression.
"There has been no news about the child Xun for a week. Did he have a severe high fever and fall down? Or something else happened, so he didn't answer the phone or reply to the teacher."
The woman's voice became more and more anxious, like an ant on a hot pot. As a mother, she would dream of bad things when she closed her eyes. Because of this, she had not fallen asleep for several days.
"Damn it, isn't it normal for young people to go out for the night and have fun? I think back then..."
The man shrugged, obviously not paying attention to this matter, and then began to brag about his past experiences as usual. It would be fine if Xun really went out to have fun, after all, after reaching puberty, he would definitely have relationships with the opposite sex.
He himself grew up as a young man, so he naturally understands this, and in his opinion, Xun's temperament is too boring, and it would be good to change it appropriately.
"Husband, that kid Xun is so honest, how could he do such a thing as spending the night? Even if he went out to spend the night, he would tell us."
After hearing the man's words, the woman couldn't help complaining, but before she could say a few words, she felt dizzy and subconsciously sat on the sofa, groaning in discomfort.
"Hey, the child has grown up, and you still don't know about the child Xun?"
The man put down the newspaper in his hand, poured a glass of warm water, then found the pills from the medicine box, and brought them in front of the woman.
"I'm ready, let's go first."
A crisp voice interrupted the conversation between them, and the girl in school uniform changed her shoes and walked towards the entrance.
"I'm sorry, Xiaohuan, if I hadn't been on a business trip in the afternoon, dad would have gone there himself."
The man couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face. Although he said he didn't care and should worry about the child, he was still very worried in his heart, but he didn't show it outside.
"They all said it's okay. I'll just go. After all, dad has an important job and mom has to have a good rest. Your fever hasn't gone away yet."
"But Xiaohuan..."
The woman couldn't help but speak, but was quickly interrupted by the girl.
"It's okay. It's just one day. It won't delay school work. Besides, haven't I already obtained the recommended place?"
"I'm not talking about this kind of thing, listen to me, Xiaohuan, you are a girl..."
"I'm going to high school soon. I'm not a kid anymore. My brother was already studying alone in Tokyo when he was my age."
The girl blinked, showed a sly smile, and then pushed the door open and walked out.
"Bye bye."
After walking out of the house, the smile on the girl's face gradually faded, revealing undisguised worry and worry. She looked at the blue sky and couldn't help but sigh.
The girl's name is Kurono Tamaki. She was born in an ordinary family, although not rich, but not poor either. She has excellent grades, is fair and beautiful, and has an older brother named Kurono Tatsumi. She and her brother
We had a very good relationship, and we often called each other, but one day, there was no news from my brother.
"Where did my brother go?"
After buying the ticket to Tokyo, Kurino Tamaki sat in his seat, looked at the scenery outside, and subconsciously touched the pocket of his jacket.
——There is this small piece of hard metal, which is the key to my brother's apartment.
