Chapter 168 Aozaki Orange
Green ant new glutinous rice wine, red clay small stove.Can you drink a cup if you want to snow in the night?

The living room of the Matou family is very large, but Matou Kenshin is not in the living room at this time. Instead, he is sitting by the window on the third floor.

In the winter season, it snowed in Fuyuki City after a long absence.

There was heavy snow outside the house. The cold snowflakes hit the hard glass, making crackling sounds like firewood burning.

The corner of Kenshin Matou's mouth twitched slightly.

'This isn't snow anymore, is it?'

"Will there be hail in Fuyuki City?"

The scenery outside the window is a beautiful sight, and the person you see through the beautiful scenery is a rare beauty in the world.

Choosing to drink after-meal tea at this location is certainly not a casual choice.

At this time, Kenshin Matou could easily look through the window and see Mrs. Irisviel, who was admiring the snow without drawing the curtains in the room.

It seems that the snow in Fuyuki City is really different from that in Einzbern, otherwise Mrs. Irisviel wouldn't have stood by the window to admire it.

Being able to express the feeling of "The sky is about to snow in the evening, how can I have a drink?", Jian Tong Jianchen's mood at this moment is undoubtedly very leisurely.

After enjoying Matou Kariya's dinner, the six people gathered in the restaurant left the room one after another.

Uncle Liu returned to the secret room and continued to experience the rich but meaningless modern life.

Mrs. Alice Feil dragged her tired body back to her room.

It is worth mentioning that--

The Holy Grail War must be conducted in secret, this is the main premise of the Holy Grail War, and among the inconveniences caused by this, the one with the least impact is the handling of corpses.

Normally, the magician's method is simple: just sprinkle some magic materials, and a brand new corpse can be disposed of without polluting the environment at all.

Naturally, Emiya Kiritsugu's body cannot be handled in this way.

After all, his family member, Mrs. Irisviel, was standing over his body at the time.

Therefore, now, Emiya Kiritsugu is resting in the best funeral home in Fuyuki City.

It is also worth mentioning that -

This funeral home was recommended to Mrs. Irisviel by Kenshin Matou, the murderer of Emiya Kiritsugu.

well, let's get back to business.

After dinner at the Matou family's house, Uncle Liu and Mrs. Irisviel both returned to a room where they could be quiet.

The same is true for Matou Kariya.

Although it's not to the point of being hated by everyone, but at this time of night, in the Matou household, probably no one would pay any attention to Matou Kariya.

Little Sakura wants to communicate with her brother, and her brother who wants to communicate with her is accompanying little Sakura.

Artoria, who has just joined the Matou family, has nothing to say to Matou Kariya.

Not to mention the lovely Miss Altria in reality, who is still not acquainted with Matou Kariya. Even Miss Altria in the simulator is not familiar with Matou Kariya.

In the simulator, the role of chef Matou Kariya gradually became silent after Matou Kenshin brought Sera and Lijelite to the Matou family.

Matou Kariya is very honored to have become a decadent middle-aged man who can just eat and wait for death.

——This is the dream of many office workers!
The remaining people, namely the current head of the Matou family, Matou Kenshin, his lovely sister Sakura, and his future wife Altria, accompanied him here, sitting by the window on the third floor.

Now, the people looking at the scenery outside the window are not only Kenshin Matou, but also Mrs. Irisviel, the scenery among the scenery.

Little Sakura also curled up her legs and lay on the seat in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window. The same was true of Altria, who was one swordsman position away from Little Sakura.

There is nothing unusual about snow. What is worth cherishing is the warm environment in the house, the warm yellow lights, and... people who are willing to accompany you to enjoy the scenery.

However, although seeing the same scenery, Sakura-chan and Altria appreciated completely different things.

Little Sakura's big eyes were twinkling, and they would grow a lot in the future. Her sight kept moving along the traces of falling snowflakes, from the sky with falling snowflakes to the extremely familiar land of the Matou family.

What Altria admired was the same as her husband.

She looked at the ground with complicated eyes. The light in the room was white. It was Mrs. Alice's room.

"Sword Minister."

Altria spoke in the room which had been silent for a while.

"Ah."

Jianchen Matou did not feel surprised by the response.

The two of them had a very tacit conversation, which allowed Sakura to turn her gaze back to the house instead of watching the snowflakes.

"Irisviel... you and her... don't have much time left, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Jianchen Matou nodded and took a sip of the black tea that his lovely sister Xiao Xiaoying brewed on the table. "There really isn't much time left. There are still... more than ten hours left until twenty-four hours."

Kenshin Matou and Mrs. Irisviel signed the agreement at noon today when she and Altria got off the plane.

It was already late at night, and after a good night's sleep, it was almost time for the constraints to end.

"Then... Jianchen, what are you going to do?"

Turning back, her emerald eyes were filled with worry.

After only a short time together, Altria developed a deep affection for Irisviel.

Little Sakura felt confused by this conversation, but she didn't want to act as if she didn't understand, so she had to imitate her brother and drank the tea she had brewed herself seriously.

It's not just Kenshin Matou and little Sakura, who was raised by Kenshin Matou, who likes to drink black tea.

Altria also likes to drink. She likes to drink, and this is even more so after drinking with Kenshin Matou in the simulator for decades.

So, Saber also raised up the well-behaved little Sakura, and made a cup of tea for her, being sensible.

Little Sakura is still young and doesn't know what the future will hold, but Altria, who knows what the future will hold, knows how much her future husband loves Sakura, his current sister and future wife.

"Hmm..." Savoring the refreshing fragrance of black tea in his mouth, Jianchen Matou closed his eyes and looked thoughtful.

But he already had the answer in his heart.

In the simulator, the time of the clock tower.

There are so many foreign girls, so many blondes with long legs, but Kenshin Matou is unmoved. Does it mean he has no interest or ability?

——Of course not. The people of the Matou family may have twisted personalities, abnormal psychology, and mediocre magic skills, but!

In terms of appearance, Kenshin Matou, who inherited the old man's skills and was slightly stronger than him, was the flower of the Clock Tower at that time. It can be said that he was the flower of the Clock Tower without any problem.

Apart from anything else, even with Kenneth's obvious protection.

There are still many noble ladies with a long history of magic, either in or outside the clock tower, who have invited Kenshin Matou to spend the night with them or even to pass on a child to them. This explains everything.

Amidst all these temptations that Jianchen Matou was unwilling to refuse, he chose to turn a deaf ear to the outside world and focus on reading the books of sages.

Although it has been recognized by many bigwigs in the Clock Tower.

But, he, Kenshin Matou, a stranger from another world, is this really what he wants to obtain?

--of course not!
Matou Kenshin has been in the Clock Tower for three years! Three years! Three years!
Three whole years of studying hard, three whole years of resisting external temptations!

In addition to the fact that "my neighbor's girl has grown up", Miss Rin, little Sakura, and Illya are all almost old enough to be eaten, the main reason is to fill the regret in my heart!
That was Mrs. Irisviel, who was kidnapped by him and brought to the basement of the Toosaka family. In front of him, she fell into the whirlpool of fate, disappeared bit by bit, and turned into a broken cup, and he was powerless to do anything about it!

Life is long, almost a hundred years.

Life is short, just a hundred years.

For some people, their fate is in the hands of God, so what good is Bian Que? It is not possible to be open-minded and face death calmly.

Some people have accomplished great things during their lifetime, and their achievements will last forever, but in the face of death, they are as humble as a maggot, believing in some fallacies and heresies, wasting manpower and material resources, harming the world and themselves.

Jianchen Jianchen is just an ordinary person who is a little bit extraordinary. He does not have the open-mindedness of Uncle Liu, nor the delusions of a maggot.

He just wanted to live his life without regrets, and wanted to grow old with Miss Rin, Sakura-chan, Illya... and sit together, with the setting sun casting a warm red glow on their bodies.

In such an environment, he and his wives reminisced about their past happiness.

That kind of scene has always been what Kenshin Matou pursued, but the process of Mrs. Lisviel turning into a cup in the basement of the Toosaka family became an eternal regret in his heart.

In order to make up for this regret, even though there is already a clear path to happiness, Jianchen Matou resolutely took advantage of his spirit and courage.

He chose a path that had never been taken before, a path that was unknown but also full of hope.

This is the road we are on today.

For today, Kenshin Matou has paid much more than what appears on the surface.

In the simulator, during the time of further studies in the Clock Tower, with the help of his own talents, Kenshin Matou tried hard to touch the precious knowledge stored in the Clock Tower.

In his previous life, knowledge was cheap. A simple search on Baidu would yield books worth only a few dozen yuan. But this world is different.

Every magic book, except those that are public, is a treasure of a family.

Unless you turn over the table and become an outlaw in the magic world, confiscate the property and exterminate the magician family you value, otherwise... you want to obtain the core magic of the family.

Given Kenshin Matou's worth, he could either concentrate on developing himself, climb up to become the real boss in the Clock Tower, become one of the people who allocate resources, and then learn what he wants to learn.

This is the simplest and most difficult path.

Every big guy standing at the top of the tower has a magical talent that can only be barely matched by Kenshin Matou.

but……

The families behind them and the resources they use to learn magic are not something that a young master of the Matou family who was born in a remote corner can get.

This road is difficult, but Jianchen Matou is not afraid of challenges, but... the trade-offs are too great.

If you take this path, you will undoubtedly lose a lot.

Lost time to accompany his wife, lost... lost... the ideal that he once told Uncle Liu that he just wanted to live a stable and happy life.

Yes, at the crossroads of fate, the noble man in his life, Uncle Liu, appeared silently in Jianchen Jianchen's heart. Just by occupying a position, he completely dispelled his thoughts.

He gave up that path and took another.

It is very difficult to get the Clock Tower to grant me access to the knowledge of magic.

But magic involving puppets is not a difficult thing, especially when Kenshin Matou has Uncle Liu with him.

He made a ridiculous bet with a middle-aged woman who was also a Japanese magician and currently lived in the Clock Tower - within 20 years, he would defeat her sister head-on, so that her sister would have to bow down to her and be a slave from then on.

This is undoubtedly a bet that is as far-fetched as a dream.

You know, the younger sister of the Grand Magician Aozaki Touko is so much more powerful than her older sister who is also the Grand Magician, to an indescribable degree.

Among the four existing magicians, Aozaki Aoko is one of them, using the fifth magic.

This made the mature and very charming Aozaki Touko willing to sign this absurd bet with Jianchen Matou.

What Kenshin Matou relies on is definitely not his ability to talk big.

No matter how much you talk, you will never be able to convince that woman.

The one that Jianchen Jianchen relies on is him for success, and his failure may also be his uncle Liu.

The open-mindedness of Mr. Liu is not possessed by Jianchen Jianchen in the simulator, otherwise he would not have done such a thing as pushing Mr. Liu to the surface, but...

Knowing that he still had a second chance in his life, Jianchen Matou hesitated for a short while. He thought about Mrs. Irisviel, who had white hair, red eyes and a sweet smell, and then thought about Uncle Liu, who had a faint sour smell. He pushed Uncle Liu out without hesitation.

Seven days!

Seven days!

Seven days!

The middle-aged pervert Aozaki Touko studied Uncle Liu for seven whole days!

During these seven days, Jianchen Jianchen was in a state of panic. Although he had signed a contract with Aozaki Touko that no content of the bet could be disclosed,...

He has a good idea of ​​his own level of magician skills.

A magic contract without loopholes is never a good magic contract.

So... Kenshin Matou had already prepared a suicide ritual in his body before meeting Aozaki Touko!

Not one, not two, but nine suicide techniques!

This is the limit of Kenshin Matou's knowledge, not the limit of the suicide technique.

Having the chance to start over, he was not afraid of death, but of an incomplete death, being soaked in formalin, half-dead, and being studied by some old perverts for who knows how long.

Fortunately, after seven days, what Jian Tong Jianchen feared did not happen.
