Chapter 178 Uncle Liu, I am so eager to make progress

Kenneth's problem has been solved. As for whether he returns to the Clock Tower to live his own life or stays in Fuyuki City to watch Kenshin Matou's battle, that is his business.

In the current Holy Grail War, Bluebeard was killed by Curry Stick as soon as he was summoned.

The murderer Ryunosuke Uesugi also found his destination and saw the art he had always pursued, but the price was only his death.

This is something that Jianchen Jian has always deeply regretted.

It's really unfair that Ryunosuke Uryu, the beast who attacked a child, was able to die without regrets, which most people couldn't do.

But if he kills Ryunosuke Uryu, he will die without regrets.

If you don't kill Ryunosuke Uryu...that beast must die!

This problem is not unsolvable, but Kenshin Matou thinks that the beast Ryunosuke Uryu is not worth wasting his brain cells on.

Just kill him.

Kenneth was also defeated and even lost his servant Diarmuid.

Emiya Kiritsugu's "companion of justice" was stabbed back by the Servant. Although he didn't know what Miss Altria was thinking, Kenshin Matou found it quite interesting.

Miss Altria, who is well-behaved and polite, also did what Xiao Mo did.

"The only ones left are Tōsaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Kirei, and Waver."

Lying on the recliner, the gentle sunlight poured down from the sky, flickering on Kenshin Matou's body.

Basking in the warm sun in winter is really the most comfortable thing, especially when there are beautiful women around you.

"Madam, who do you think should be dealt with first?"

Picking up a cup of hot tea from the tea table beside him, Kenshin Matou looked at Mrs. Irisviel who was reading a book to pass the time beside him.

They were currently on the second floor, and through the smooth glass that had been wiped by Matou Kariya, they could see little Sakura, Illya, and Miss Altria playing together in the courtyard.

This kind of life was very comfortable, something Mrs. Irisviel had never dared to imagine before.

When Emiya Kiritsugu was preparing for the Holy Grail War in Einzbern, although Mrs. Irisviel was also very happy, there was always a hint of sadness hidden in her heart.

Because she knew at that time that her current happiness was only temporary. Once the Holy Grail War began and the Heroic Spirits left the stage one after another, she would face her own destiny.

——The fate of the Holy Grail container.

But it's different now.

The fate of being the container of the Holy Grail has been escaped, and his daughter Illya has gained the happiness that a normal child deserves.

Even though this kind of happiness is not rare, it is extremely precious to Mrs. Irisviel, who was born in the Einzbern family.

And the person who caused all this and allowed her to stay with Illya for a long, long time was the one who was sitting next to her, drinking tea, and killing her husband.

"..."

The book was open, but the page had not been turned. After thinking or hesitating for a while, Mrs. Irisviel closed the book in her hand and said:
"Kotomine Kirei is dangerous."

This reminder made Jianchen Jiantou very satisfied.

Kenshin Matou, who had experienced the God's perspective, naturally knew that Kiritsugu Emiya was afraid of Kotomine Kirei. Mrs. Irisviel, who knew that Kiritsugu Emiya was afraid of Kotomine Kirei, reminded herself of this.

This just shows that Mrs. Irisviel's heart has begun to lean towards the Matou family.

"is it?"

Feeling very happy, Jian Tongjianchen's voice was also relaxed: "I will pay attention to him. Thank you for your reminder, ma'am."

"He's really dangerous!"

Looking at the Swordsman Matou who seemed to be not taking it seriously at all, he looked through the glass at Illya who was playing with Miss Altria and little Sakura in the courtyard.

Mrs. Irisviel frowned and added reluctantly:

"Emiya, Emiya Kiritsugu has always been wary of him and regards him as the biggest opponent in this Holy Grail War."

Kiritsugu Emiya has always been a very important person in Mrs. Irisviel's heart. Before he died, Mrs. Irisviel always believed that the person who would win the Holy Grail War would be her husband, Kiritsugu Emiya.

But right now...

Thinking that Emiya Kiritsugu had died at the hands of the man in front of her, Mrs. Irisviel felt that her reminder was a bit redundant.

But for Illya's happiness, Mrs. Irisviel was still willing to do it even if she felt uncomfortable. Mother's love is the last thing that needs to be questioned.

"I don't take your words lightly, ma'am. Please don't misunderstand me."

Seeing the strange look on Mrs. Irisviel's face, Kenshin Matou quickly realized what was going on. His posture changed from slumped in the recliner to standing straight, and his expression changed from relaxed to serious.

As if frightened by Kenshin Matou's serious expression, or perhaps for some other reason, Mrs. Irisviel showed a hint of panic.

"and you……"

Without answering Mrs. Irisviel's question, Kenshin Matou performed a small magic trick, causing quite a commotion. After a while, Miss Altria in the courtyard and Diarmuid, who was drinking tea in the stone pavilion in the yard, came over.

"Lord!"

"Sword Minister?"

Well, of the three heroic spirits guarding the Matou family, except for Uncle Liu who was as steady as an old dog, the other two all rushed over as quickly as possible.

"It's okay, Leah."

After comforting his wife, Jianchen Matou said to Diarmuid:
"I have something I need Diarmuid to do."

"Please tell my lord."

Diarmuid, knowing the character of Swordsman Matou, did not kneel down, but the desire and eagerness in his eyes were almost overflowing.

After becoming the servant of Kenshin Matou, Diarmuid has been longing for an opportunity to show himself and to be loyal to his lord.

He pulled out a crumpled photo from his pocket and unfolded it in front of Mrs. Irisviel, Miss Altria, and Diarmuid.

"This is Kotomine Kirei, the son of Father Kotomine Risei, the priest of the Fuyuki City Church. He was once the agent of the Magic Association and the Master of Assassin in this Holy Grail War."

"Will you bring me victory and present its head, Diarmuid?"

"My pleasure."

After performing a standing gesture as a gesture of courtesy, Diarmuid lowered his head slightly, his eyes fiery.

"it is good!"

Jianchen Matou praised the knight he was familiar with, and then explained what he had just said:

"Ahem... Don't get me wrong, Diarmuid. When I present Kotomine Kirei's head to you, I'm not asking you to really bring it back. There are so many children at home. If you scare any of them, it would be a heinous crime."

"You just need to kill him, burn him to ashes, and then scatter his ashes."

Looking at Diarmuid, Jianchen Matou added:

"This time it's literal."

"Okay." Although he lowered his head so that Swordsman Matou could not see Diarmuid's expression, Swordsman Matou, who knew his own plan, still knew that his order was a bit strange.

He nodded, took a sip of tea strategically, and said:

"Go, Diarmuid. I'm waiting for your good news. By the way...if you encounter a guy with golden light, don't hesitate to consume a lot of magic power immediately so that I can sense it."

"--Lord?"

Diarmuid was puzzled by the arrangement made by Jianchen Matou.

However, Kenshin Matou did not explain. This matter was a bit troublesome to explain, and he was a bit tired of it. Gilgamesh was one of his former shadows.

We are living such a comfortable and pleasant life now. It would be a bit of a letdown if we mentioned him.

"Go, Diarmuid."

Although he didn't get an answer, Diarmuid didn't show any dissatisfaction. Compared with his previous master Kenneth, the respect given to him by Kenshin Matou was simply heaven and earth.

Only with contrast can we have a deeper experience.

In front of Mrs. Irisviel, his master, and Lady Altria, Diarmuid used the basic ability of a Heroic Spirit - spiritualization, and disappeared from the room.

Miss Altria was somewhat envious of this, but not much.

Diarmuid went to carry out the mission of his new master, and Miss Altria also left the room after confirming that her future husband was not in danger.

King Arthur, who lacks a normal life, enjoys playing with Sakura and Illya from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Sakura and Illya are two little angels. Not to mention compared with naughty kids, even if compared with the neighbors' children, they are not inferior in the slightest.

in this way.

After Miss Altria left, Mrs. Irisviel and Kenshin Matou were the only ones left in the room.

There are naturally reasons for this situation.

Kenshin Matou has a good appearance, and can be compared with Sakura and Illya in terms of beauty, but... Mrs. Irisviel is not a flower maniac. Besides, no matter how outstanding the children outside are, can they be as outstanding as her own little angel?

Mrs. Irisviel did not play with Illya in the courtyard for one and only one reason, and it was easy to understand.

That is, although Illya is a little angel, she is also a normal child.

As long as the child is young, he will never feel as comfortable when playing with his friends as when his parents are around.

Although Mrs. Irisviel had no childhood at all and her body had been like this since the moment she was born, she was observant and still noticed something strange about her daughter.

This is just a small reason. After all, Illya is different from ordinary children.

With a little guidance, Illya and Sakura will soon adapt to the presence of Mrs. Irisviel.

The real reason why she decided not to stay with Illya and Sakura-chan, but to share a room with Matou Kenshin was -

Sakura hid it well, but still couldn't escape the disappointment and envy in Mrs. Irisviel's eyes.

Mrs. Irisviel, overwhelmed with maternal love because of Illya, has absolutely no resistance to the adorable little Sakura. After only a few days of getting along with her, although she doesn't treat her as her own flesh and blood, it's not much different.

Knowing the sensitive nature of children, she did not ask Sakura directly, but knocked on Kenshin Matou's door on a dark and windless night - but did not find Kenshin Matou.

Finally, I found Kenshin Matou drinking tea and reading a book in Miss Altria's room.

After some questioning and Kenshin Matou's explanation, Mrs. Irisviel finally understood what happened to little Sakura.

At that time, Mrs. Irisviel looked completely empathetic, and there seemed to be a little water in her scarlet eyes, but she quickly covered it up.

These days, Mrs. Irisviel has been controlling the number of times she appears in front of Illya and Sakura-chan.

Knowing that her happiness with Illya would cause discomfort to Sakura, she did not give up or give up, but actively looked for ways to solve the problem.

This question was not a problem that could stump the intelligent Mrs. Irisviel at all.

After a brief thought, she came up with a good strategy and quickly implemented it.

Too much care will only make people feel uncomfortable, so Mrs. Irisviel thought of a method that is to change Sakura's mind quietly in life.

She, Irisviel——

I want to be little Sakura’s “mother”!
Quiet time is like a small river that no one pays attention to. The water flows slowly and never stops, seemingly still.

Drink some tea, enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window, and watch the three cute girls playing. Soon, the diligent Sera and Lijielit came to the room.

Kenshin Matou signaled with his eyes, and Mrs. Irisviel, the current head of Einzbern, also nodded.

Then, Sera and Lijelite, two pretty maids with white hair and red eyes wearing black and white maid outfits, sat down next to Kenshin Matou and Mrs. Irisviel.

Today's dessert is matcha flavored, which Kenshin Matou likes very much.

After taking a bite of dessert and drinking a sip of hot black tea, Jianchen Matou asked:
"How is Uncle Liu? What did he eat today?"

By chance, Jianchen Matou saw Sera and Lijelite making desserts in the kitchen and had a deeper understanding of Uncle Liu's taste, so he asked this question.

"Mr. Liu requested pickles for dessert today, Master."

Standing up, lifting their skirts, and bending slightly, the two pretty maids moved in unison, so beautiful that it whetted Kenshin's appetite.

"Pickled vegetables?" He savored them for a moment, then asked, "What did you drink?"

"Drinks."

"What wine?"

"It seems to be white wine."

The two pretty maids, Sera and Lijelite, were not sure about this. Although they were knowledgeable, they were not proficient in everything.

If this could really be done, then the status of the Einzbern family would not be so easily destroyed by Swordsman Matou.

The technology of learning knowledge quickly and at extremely low cost is something that no force can refuse.

But obviously, Einzbern cannot do this, nor has it thought about developing in this direction.

"Yeah."

Jianchen Jianchen nodded. Uncle Liu's taste was very much like that of an old man of his age.

only……

"I'm really curious. Although I've heard a little bit about it from Liya, I still want to go in and experience it myself."

Mr. Liu's inherent barrier "Han Boundary" has been coveted by Jianchen Jiantong for a long time.

Even though he is "dull in talent", as long as the master is good, the apprentice won't be too bad, right?

He, Jianchen Jianchen, is eager to make progress!
Learn strategies from Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, learn how to fight from Han Xin and Fan Kuai, learn how to manage logistics from Xiao He, and learn eloquence from Li Shiqi, who can refuse this!

"Uncle Liu, I'm so eager to make progress!"
