Chapter 172: Revenge, Killing Shirou (Mist)

Irisviel, who was originally in a good mood, became not in a good mood at all after hearing Kenshin Matou's greeting: "Hello, Mrs. Irisviel."

——What exactly does this man want to do?
Such doubts unconsciously arose in Irisviel's mind.

This question is not the first time it has arisen, but it has never been answered.

It was fine before. Although I could feel that the other party had ill intentions, nothing happened in the end.

It is impossible for Mrs. Alice to make an enemy out of thin air and do something that is not true, given her excellent education and good upbringing.

But things are different now.

——Emiya Kiritsugu is dead.

That man is my husband and is very important to me.

--But it does not matter!

Because, besides the deceased Emiya Kiritsugu, Mrs. Irisviel has someone she cherishes even more.

There is no time to feel sad about Emiya Kiritsugu's departure, because the next person to arrive on the battlefield is the adorable monkey Shochu Illya-chan, who is worthy of her own anime!

Sit down at the empty seat specially left at the dining table.

The nutritious and fragrant food on the table did not attract Mrs. Alice's attention at all.

The first thing I did after sitting down was to ask questions eagerly.

"You... the head of the Matou family, what are you going to do? I mean... my daughter Illya."

Einzbern's Holy Grail War this time was undoubtedly a failure.

The specially hired magician killer, at the beginning of the Holy Grail War, failed to live up to the expectations of the Einzbern people and was "sacrificed".

A servant who specializes in searching for holy relics, for which Einzbern paid a considerable price, but who is pleased by the title of the owner of the holy relics - the King of Great Britain, King Arthur.

On the first day of arriving in Fuyuki City, the city where the Holy Grail War was held, they betrayed us...

There is no doubt, there is no need to question it at all, that Einzbern, one of the three major families in Fuyuki City and one of the three local bosses, lost completely and totally.

The only good news is that the news of the failure of the Holy Grail War will not reach Einzbern any time soon.

Whatever you want to do, now is the best time.

But Irisviel knew that it was impossible to do it on her own.

She was totally incapable of taking on the power of the Einzbern family alone.

She knew there was someone who could do it. That person was sitting opposite her, eating with the heroic spirit who betrayed her late husband.

"Don't worry, ma'am."

After eating the food that Sakura picked for him and taking the initiative to pick up food for Sakura and Altria, Kenshin Matou finally found the time to answer Mrs. Irisviel's question.

"Let's eat first. We can talk about anything after dinner."

Kenshin Matou knew that Irisviel was very anxious, but he just wanted to make her anxious.

Although it's a bit shameless, it will be very useful for subsequent negotiations.

Otherwise, after he rescued the lovely Illya and helped Illya escape from the clutches of Einzbern, Mrs. Irisviel took Illya away and lived a happy life.

He is a poor man who has worked so hard for nothing. Who can he cry to?

The most advantageous option at the moment is to temper Mrs. Alice's temper.

However, although this is the truth, when it comes to actually implementing it, Jianchen Jianchen still feels reluctant.

Giving Matou Kariya a look, he took the ceramic bowl that he handed over, poured a bowl of soup for Mrs. Irisviel, and then Matou Kenshin said:
"Drink this bowl of chicken soup, and we can go to the second floor to discuss things."

"and many more."

Bringing the chicken soup back from before Mrs. Irisviel, Kenshin Matou touched the edge of the bowl and found that it was still very hot, so he frowned.

It is impossible for the freshly made chicken soup to cool down so quickly.

Looking at Mrs. Irisviel's anxious expression because she wanted to discuss something, he rubbed his hands which were a little red from the hot chicken soup.

Jian Tong Jianchen was silent for a moment, then spoke:
"The soup is too hot, drink it cold."

He really didn’t mean to tease Irisviel, but the other person’s expression clearly showed that she was thinking of something terrible.

In this regard, Jianchen Jianchen was too lazy to defend himself.

The days to come were long, and this little incident was just a fragment of life. In the long river of memories between him and Mrs. Alice, it was just an insignificant thing.

Well, the seventh generation head of the Matou family now has a long-term vision~
……

……

Although there are the relics of the old beast in the secret room of the Matou family, given Matou Kenshin's current situation, it is not something that Mrs. Irisviel cannot see.

The reason why he didn't go was simply because -

It almost became Uncle Liu's private bedroom.

Yes, although he has not appeared much recently, in the heart of Jianchen Jianchen, the existence of Uncle Liu is no less than the stabilizing force of the East China Sea.

Although it is not used normally and may be snatched away by monkeys in the future, as long as the magic needle is there, I will feel at ease.

This is just as the saying goes, having an old person in the family is like having a treasure.

Uncle Liu can no longer be considered an old man, he is an ancestor~!

Therefore, the secret room cannot be entered.

Kenshin Matou is currently sitting in the living room on the second floor with Miss Altria and Mrs. Irisviel.

The living room is large and has a very stylish layout, reflecting the grandeur of the Matou family.

Although there is nothing worth mentioning about his character, the old beast Matou Zouken is still very generous when it comes to inheritance.

Of course, it would be even better if this generosity was proactive.

However, Jianchen Jiantou doesn't care about these little things.

The dead are the greatest, and the same goes for old animals.

"call…"

Kenshin Matou blew on the hot tea in the cup, but instead of drinking it, he put it back on the table.

There was no heating in the room, but it was still very warm in early winter, especially the hot tea on the table, which was emitting wisps of white steam and an enticing tea aroma.

The environment for discussing things was immediately filled up.

"Tell me, Mrs. Irisviel, what you think."

Stretching out his hand, Jianchen Matou made a gesture of invitation.

Miss Altria was sitting on the left of Kenshin Matou. Unlike Mrs. Irisviel who was sitting on the right and silent, her hands were not idle.

Miss Altria likes black tea very much, especially in this slightly cold weather, the atmosphere is just perfect.

Irisviel is Miss Altria's first friend since she came to this world, and Kenshin Matou is her future husband. She is staying with two people with whom she has a very close relationship.

Miss Altria was very relaxed.

Mrs. Alice did not notice this feeling of relaxation at first.

She noticed the changes in Altria, but couldn't describe it or find the right adjective.

Until this moment, when she had completely escaped the fate of being the Holy Grail's vessel and had hope of living happily with Illya, Mrs. Irisviel had a deeper understanding of Altria's condition.

He took a deep look at Altria who was tasting the black tea.

Mrs. Irisviel looked at Jianchen Matou beside her, with visible determination in her eyes:
"Save Illya, let her escape the fate of being a Holy Grail vessel, and have a life as a normal child. I can give you whatever you want."

The scarlet eyes stared at the owner of the house without blinking.

Jianchen Jianchen raised the steaming teacup, took a sip of the slightly cooled hot tea, and exhaled a breath of hot air. "Okay, I promise you, ma'am."

"Let's go ahead and pick up Illya today!"

The surprise was so sudden that Mrs. Irisviel didn't notice the problem in Kenshin Matou's words at all.

Go home, go home, where is home if you leave Einzbern?
——Of course it’s the Matou family!

……

……

Continuous mountains, sky full of snow, dense forests, and the reclusive family hidden among them.

——The Einzbern family.

Magicians are really a scary group. Although we cannot generalize, most magicians with decent abilities are usually very extreme.

For example, the three great families of Fuyuki City.

As for the Matou family, needless to say, with the existence of the old beast Matou Zouken, this family has been a twisted family from the very beginning.

The Tousaka family, um...

Compared to their peers, the Tohsaka family is actually doing okay?
By coincidence, Kotomine Kirei's act of backstabbing Tōsaka Tokiomi made the grown-up Miss Rin look more like a normal, rather than a traditional, Tōsaka family magician.

What should I say...

Killing the scapegoat of this world, Kotomine Kirei can be considered to have done a good thing?
As for the last Einzbern, it is difficult to say.

Apart from anything else, its geographical location is quite unique.

To the extent that the seventh-generation head of the Matou family had to take a flight for several hours just to "visit someone".

Walking on the land covered with ice and snow, Jianchen Matou admired this secluded scenery.

The dense forest was bare without any green branches or leaves. This was no wonder, as it was early winter and it snowed all year round where the Einzbern family lived.

but……

If mountains and forests are not rare in Fuyuki City.

The place where Einzbern is located still has scenery that cannot be seen in Fuyuki City.

That is--

Groups of Huskies.

Oh no, it's a pack of wild wolves.

Perhaps in order to preserve the original ecological environment, or perhaps because they don't care about the environment outside their home, there are wild wolves outside the Einzbern Castle.

Ok……

Looking at the wolves that were looking at him from afar, some with their tails between their legs, a malicious smile appeared on Jianchen Jianchen's face.

He is very vindictive.

Mrs. Irisviel, with her good upbringing, cannot search for enemies in the void, but Kenshin Matou can.

"Madam, I want to experience the feeling of hunting. Would you like to accompany me?"

"..."

Irisviel was stunned by the nonsensical words.

However, after following Kenshin Matou's gaze and seeing the wolf pack in the distance, Mrs. Irisviel, who was helpless but still had to rely on them, could only nod helplessly.

"as long as you are happy."

"Okay!" Jian Tong Jian Chen responded and made arrangements:

"Liya, go clean up the Einzbern castle. Um... bring Mrs. Irisviel with you. Don't scare Illya, and... don't be soft."

Kenshin Matou is very patient with the white-haired ladies and white-haired loli.

But he didn't have much interest in the white-haired old man in the Einzbern Castle.

Since Mrs. Irisviel has already agreed to his request, there is really no need for Kenshin Matou to drag it out. After all, he can still feel his wife's desire for a daughter.

Let Miss Altria take Mrs. Irisviel to settle accounts with the dishonest Einzbern family.

Jianchen Matou stretched his body and walked towards the wolf pack alone.

Kenshin Matou didn't know how long a wolf's lifespan was.

Kenshin Matou didn't know whether the wolf beasts ten years later would be the same wolf pack as today.

but--

Illya's revenge must be taken.

Although there is some meaning of searching for the enemy in the void, but...what does it matter?

They are nothing more than a few beasts.

"I never expected that, with such an extraordinary talent for magic and a master like myself, the first enemy I would face, the one I would show my skills to, would be a group of beasts."

Using a small magic to track the wolves' breath, Jianchen Matou was not in a hurry.

He recognized Altria's abilities, especially since he was her Master.

Miss Altria, who has no magic anxiety, can fully interpret what a human-shaped Gundam is.

The ultimate move is the normal attack, and the normal attack is the ultimate move.

However, even so, it would still take some effort to clean up Einzbern.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the magician in the castle who’s going to take the trouble.

Instead, it was to give Mrs. Irisviel and Illya, the reunited mother and daughter, more time to spend alone together.

Looking up, I saw the setting sun.

We set off in the morning, but even by plane it still took quite a while.

"Um…"

"Let's play with those beasts for a while and taste the wolf meat. It should be about time. Let's just stay in Einzbern today..."

"hiss……"

"It's not acceptable. I can't bear to see Ying stay at home alone."

"Forget it, let's stop playing. Let's hurry up and kill those beasts, deal with Einzbern's affairs, and try to get home before seven o'clock in the evening."

Having made up his mind, Jian Tong Jianchen no longer took his time.

Matou Kenshin, who had plenty of magic power, casually cast a levitation magic on himself.

This kind of magic is not difficult to learn, and any genius should be able to master it. However, it has only one flaw, which is that it consumes a lot of mana, so most magicians will not use it.

After all, compared to showing off in front of others in a flashy way, it is more cost-effective to perform some acceleration magic and run by yourself.

After all, magic power is a very precious thing, and without props, it will recover very slowly.

But what does this have to do with the magic perpetual motion machine?

Ps:

Shirou is a good man, there is no way he would eat a box lunch.

The one who was killed was not Shirou, but the jackal.

Illya, I will avenge you!
