Chapter 115: The Warm Matou Family
[With your careful planning, victory seems to be just around the corner. ]

[You successfully passed the 'King's Banquet' and gained the attention of all the servants and masters. Among them, Gilgamesh has a strong desire to kill you. ]

[Faced with such a situation, what do you choose...]

[1. Gilgamesh, what? He is just a bastard. I will make sure he never returns. 2. Great King of Mesopotamia, please forgive my mistakes and beg for mercy. 3. The big boss should be saved for the last battle. Go and deal with other servants first. 4. Free simulation.]

"call…"

On the soft big bed, Jianchen Jianchen was sweating profusely.

He did not choose to pick up the remote control to lower the temperature in the room because besides him, there was also little Sakura who was sleeping in the room.

It’s okay for the brother to suffer a little, but he must not let his sister suffer.

Thinking of this, Kenshin Matou quickly put on his clothes and went to the secret room alone.

When you arrive at the door of the secret room, before you go in, you can see a hint of warm yellow light shining through the gap in the door that is not completely closed.

"It's already this late, Mr. Liu hasn't gone to bed yet?"

Jian Tong Jianchen pushed open the door and saw Uncle Liu who had not yet gone to bed.

The walls are almost invisible in the secret room because the full bookshelves and the books piled on the bookshelves obscure the appearance of the walls.

As soon as I entered the room, I was greeted by the scent of books and... a slightly sour smell - Uncle Liu was not wearing shoes, and his white socks were tinged with burnt yellow, which was really...

Jianchen Matou covered his nose and regretted choosing the secret room.

In his room, there was naturally no metaphysical thing like human body odor.

But both he and Xiaoying are very hygienic and clean children, and the room is always kept ventilated. So, although there is no added body fragrance of that metaphysical person, the smell is still fresh after all.

Can……

Looking at the smell in the secret room right now, I wonder what that old bug Matou Zouken would think if he were still alive.

Jianchen Jiantou guessed that the old bug didn't have any ideas.

After all, although Uncle Liu is a little sloppy, he is still a human being after all.

There was only decay left on the old bug's body.

"The simulation is finished?"

Uncle Liu, who was playing with his mobile phone, looked up and asked. He had no shame at all for Jianchen Jianchen's action of covering his nose.

"Yeah." Jian Tong Jianchen nodded.

Instead of approaching the desk where Uncle Liu was sitting, Jian Tong Jianchen sat on the sofa farther away from Uncle Liu.

Without rushing to tell the story in the simulator, he first picked up the thermos.

He breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that the tank was full of hot water.

Pinching his nose, he picked up a teacup from the desk near Uncle Liu, then Jianchen Jianchen quickly ran back to the sofa, put black tea in the cup and poured hot water over it.

Soon, the sour smell in the room was filled with the fragrance of tea.

For a moment, the taste can be said to be very "layered".

So, Jianchen Matou did not drink the tea brewed with boiling water, but picked up a white can. A sizzling sound was heard, followed by the sound of bubbles.

It must be said that the beer in this country is really good.

Whether in the past life or in this life, Jianchen Jiantong likes her very much.

Although high-standard craft beer is delicious, refreshing lager is more suitable for relaxation.

After taking a sip and wiping his mouth, Jian Tong Jianchen finally had time to talk to Uncle Liu about their gains this time.

In fact, there was nothing more to talk about. After all, Kenshin Matou had already written down the information of the Masters and Servants participating in the Holy Grail War and placed it on the desk. He and Uncle Liu had read it many times.

After briefly recounting his experience with the simulator to Uncle Liu, Jianchen Jiantong collapsed on the sofa.

Although he had not yet received the memory of this simulation, just reading the text made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

but,

Thinking about what he had done in the simulation, Jianchen Matou smacked his lips, his face full of satisfaction.

It feels so good to stick to Gilgamesh's face and call him a bastard or something!

The feeling of pleasure is something that only those who understand will understand. It's like being constipated for a long time and suddenly feeling relieved and defecating a big thing. It's a feeling of relief mixed with fatigue.

Jianchen Matou was very tired, especially since he was lying on a soft sofa.

But he still forced himself to stand up.

There was no other reason. Not to mention the smell in the room, he had his reasons for going back to his room to sleep.

My lovely sister Sakura will definitely be worried if she doesn't see me when she wakes up.

As a mature brother, how could I do something that would make my sister worry?

"Let's go, Uncle Liu, love you, see you tomorrow."

After saying hello, Jian Tong Jianchen dragged his tired body and left the room.

When he walked out of the secret room, he slammed the door shut in revenge.

Although I don’t know whether Uncle Liu can feel the strong scent, the enclosed space will definitely give him a good experience.

Thinking of this, Jianchen Matou's steps became much lighter and a smile appeared on his face.

Inside the secret room.

After seeing Jianchen Matou leave, Uncle Liu showed a mysterious smile.

When he saw Jian Tong Jianchen close the door tightly, the smile on his face became even wider.

He just drank a sip of hot tea slowly, then waved his hand, and a magic talisman appeared in the room. The light yellow word "defense" flickered in the air and then disappeared.

This old bastard actually used magic to defend against the smell he produced!

If Kenneth knew that magic had suffered such an insult, I wonder if he would faint in the secret room and cry.

Kenshin Matou didn't know what was happening to Kenneth.

He was back in the room now.

After confirming that Sakura was sleeping well and the quilt was not kicked off, he lay down on his bed with confidence.

The soft feeling of the big bed made him want to close his eyes as soon as he touched it.

But he knew that before he could have a good sleep, he still had things he had to do.

Jianchen Matou opened the simulator.

[Because the simulation time is too long, considering the host's life safety, whether to accept some memories in advance. 】

【whether】

He clicked yes.

Feeling the familiar pain and swelling in his brain, Matou Kenshin smiled with relief.

So, it's another beautiful day.

Jianchen Matou fell into a sound sleep.

……

……

The brushstrokes of great writers can always capture the taste of the morning very aptly.

What is that? It is only at that time, when the sky is just getting light and there is no one to disturb you, that you open the door and walk into a new world.

It was a completely different smell from the room where I had slept the night before.

No matter how words are used to describe it, it is not as clear as the taste you feel with your body.

That is……

"What is that? It's so itchy."

Half asleep and half awake, Jianchen Matou only felt an itchy sensation on his nose.

The uncomfortable feeling made him want to wake up, but his heavy eyelids did not allow him to do so.

But the reality is so cruel.

He opened his eyes reluctantly, and the annoyance of having his sweet dream disturbed instantly disappeared.

"Brother~"

Seeing her brother wake up, little Sakura pulled back her hair that had been deliberately let down.

The lovely sister took it for granted that it was a good time for her brother, who had gone to bed with her, to get up.

After all, she gets enough sleep, and her brother should be the same.

Xiao Xiaoying thought so in her heart, and had no idea that her brother would do mysterious activities that she was unaware of every night after she fell asleep.

"Be good, Sakura. Brother will sleep a little longer."

The lovely sister made Jianchen Matou smile happily, but his physical fatigue was not relieved.

The memories I received last night were far too lengthy.

The banquet of the king is indeed very exhausting. People who have stayed up all night know that if you don’t get enough sleep when you are catching up on sleep, or if you are woken up by unexpected factors in the middle of catching up on sleep, you will feel confused for the rest of the day.

Kenshin Matou has a lot of experience in this area.

So, even though little Sakura is very cute and I want to open my eyes and look at her, I will feel happy even if I do nothing.

However, for greater happiness and to be able to better accompany little Sakura, Kenshin Matou still plans to have a good sleep first.

Little Sakura pouted, not blaming anyone in her heart, but rather feeling a little guilty.

Although she didn't understand why her brother, who went to bed at the same time as her, had not gotten enough sleep at this time, Sakura still felt Kenshin Matou's tiredness.

Feeling that she had done something wrong, Sakura sat down in front of the dressing table with a lot on her mind.

On the dressing table, there were two boxes that looked very valuable. The boxes did not contain precious jewels, but two hairbands of different colors.

In the past, at this time, her brother would comb her hair.

Xiao Xiaoying thought so and started to take action herself.

Although she enjoys the process of her brother combing her hair, the sensible little Sakura will also do it herself.

It would be better to say that there was no need for Kenshin Matou to intervene, but out of consideration for her brother and to satisfy his hobbies, little Sakura waited for her brother to comb her hair every day.

Now that her brother is taking a nap, little Sakura, who has already woken up, naturally has to do it herself.

Children's sadness comes quickly and goes away quickly.

Looking at the hair tie on the dressing table, Xiaoying's mouth corners raised unconsciously.

He first tied up the left side of his hair, and then picked up... the bright red hair tie. Because of the favor of Kenshin Matou, little Sakura has gradually returned to her nature, and the little devil soul in her body is awakening.

"It will be very interesting for my brother to see this when he wakes up, right?"

On the left side of her head, a little Sakura with two horns and black wings appeared, and was tempting her to tie the bright red hair tie given by her sister first, and then tie it in the fixed position of her brother's hair tie every day.

But at this moment,
On the right side of her head, a little Sakura with white wings and a halo of light flashing above her head appeared, trying to get her back on the right track and stop doing stupid things.

"If I do that, my brother will be sad..."

The white angel is persuading, the black devil is bewitching.

While Sakura was hesitating, Kenshin Matou's breathing suddenly became heavier, as if he had dreamed of something bad.

Little Sakura turned her head and looked at her brother's sleeping face. Finally, she put down the bright red hair tie in her hand and tied the blue-purple hair tie her brother gave her on the left side of her hair.

Although my brother thought it was his own little secret.

But how could smart little Sakura not notice that little detail that happens every morning?

Every day when my brother wakes up and ties his hair in front of the dressing table, he would glance at the hair tie on the dressing table from time to time.

And every time, my brother would tie the left side of his hair first. What's very "coincidental" is that he would use a blue-purple hair tie every time for the left side of his hair.

Sakura understood that a single piece of evidence was not enough.

Therefore, Sakura, who woke up earlier than her brother several times, would deliberately place the hair ties in the right order, and even handed the hair ties that were not in the right order to her brother when he was about to tie them. The result...

Naturally, this confirmed Sakura's guess.

Sakura was very happy to discover her brother's secrets bit by bit by observing the details on her own.

Moreover, knowing her brother's little secret also became Sakura's secret.

Thinking happily in her heart, Xiao Xiaoying even hummed a song~
After quickly tying her hair, little Sakura remembered what she had not completed yesterday. Although her brother didn't seem to like it, it did make a difference whether he liked it or not. Thinking of this, little Sakura left the room happily.

The morning air was very fresh, and little Sakura came to the kitchen skipping and jumping.

What was seen was Matou Kariya, who had long been accustomed to her identity, wearing a floral apron and making breakfast.

“Uncle Kariya!”

Little Sakura called sweetly, she was in a very good mood now.

"Oh, it's Sakura. You're up so early."

Looking at the energetic little Sakura, Matou Kariya observed her for a long time. Only after confirming that Matou Kenshin was not there did he smile.

"Are you hungry Sakura? Breakfast will be ready soon."

Waving the soup spoon in his hand, Matou Kariya looked very professional.

He can indeed be called a professional now.

For many things, if you don’t push yourself, you will never know your potential, nor will you recognize the possibilities of human beings.

Just like Matou Kariya.

After all, he is the second young master of the Matou family. Although he has failed miserably in relationships since he was a child and is an irredeemable bootlicker, he, Matou Kariya, has never lost in life.

At least in Fuyuki's small piece of land, the value of the Matou family really needs no further explanation.

However, this young nobleman with such a wealthy family now started a business as a cook.

This is really a tearful and sad thing.

Out of concern for Tousaka Aoi and also because of the intimidation from Matou Kenshin, Matou Kariya has learned a lot of hard lessons since returning to the Matou family.

These courses include but are not limited to: "How to be a good housekeeper", "Daily life of a nanny", "How to please the host family"...

But among them, the one he learned most skillfully and used most effectively was:

"Cooking: From Beginners to Die-hards!"

Although the name is not very auspicious, it must be said that the author is very talented to dare to use such a name.

The proof of this is not anything else but the fact that every member of the Matou family touches their round bellies after dinner.

Matou Kariya, who had the spirit of a chef, waved the soup spoon in his hand, but got an unexpected answer.

"No, Uncle Kariya, I'm here to make breakfast."

Sakura-chan said this and squeezed into the kitchen under the watchful eyes of Matou Kariya.

Although she had never learned any culinary knowledge, when she was still at the Toosaka family, little Sakura paid attention to her mother's cooking.

Little Sakura is very hardworking, because she has to wake up her sister every morning. That is why she can see the scene that her sister cannot see - Toosaka Aoi making breakfast.

Of course, even though little Sakura is the cutest and smartest person in the world, she is still a child.

I learned a little, but only a little.

So, under the stunned gaze of Matou Kirei, little Sakura stepped on a wooden stool and unexperiencedly started the fire to boil water.

"Sakura, what are you doing?"

Although he already knew why Sakura did this, Matou Kirei, a loser in love and the king of bootlickers, was still unwilling to believe it.

Why!

Why would Sister Aoi's daughter make breakfast for Kenshin Matou?
That is why ah!

Why was it that when I was about the same age as Sakura, I was the one who prepared lunch boxes for Sister Aoi?

Although Sister Aoi also prepared a lunch box for herself afterwards, that was obviously a sign of "reciprocity".

Why is Xiaoying so proactive?
Why is there such a big difference between people with the same surname, Matou?
With such a huge gap, and the fact that Sakura is the daughter of Tousaka Aoi, Matou Kariya feels very uncomfortable.

If it were a color comic, Matou Kariya should have turned into black and white by now.

But, how can shrimp be without pig heart?

After the water boiled, little Sakura didn't know that her uncle Kariya was doubting his life, so she asked calmly:

"Uncle Kariya, how long do you need to boil eggs in boiling water?"

"..."

"Uncle Kariya?" Little Sakura turned around without getting an answer.

Only then did Matou Kariya come back to his senses.

He hadn't sweated after working in the kitchen all morning, but less than five minutes after Sakura-chan came in, he was already sweating profusely.

"It will only take seven minutes."

He was in great pain inside, but even though Matou Kariya was a complete loser, he still had a good heart.

He would not and could not bully little Sakura.

No, because he has a conscience; he can't, because he knows how much his little nephew, Kenshin Matou, dotes on little Sakura.

He had no doubt that if little Sakura lost even a hair, even if that hair was harmless, if it was caused by him, his good nephew would make him experience the unique family affection of the Matou family.

Just thinking about it for a moment, Matou Kariya couldn't help shaking.

There was no way. With the previous experience of that old bug Matou Zouken in mind, Matou Kariya really couldn't expect any family affection from the Matou family.

So he could only answer Sakura's questions honestly, and in order to prevent Sakura from being scalded by the splashing hot water, he deliberately pulled Sakura to a farther place.

Of course, he did not interfere with Sakura's work at all during the whole process.
