Chapter 180: The Backyard of the Matou Family
Lunch time ended with replenishing Sakura's brother's energy and absorbing Sakura's energy at the same time.

After the meal, everyone had nothing to do.

The days when you don’t have to go to work are so plain and boring.

It’s… fucking great!

Kenshin Matou, who has moved bricks, worked in a factory, done live broadcasts, set up stalls, and been a failed author, and who has to worry about 4,000 words every day, couldn't be more satisfied with his current life.

In this extremely comfortable environment, naturally, he——

Inertia arises.

It’s not that he has really become a lazy dog. Although the speed of human degeneration is thousands of times faster than the speed of progress, it is not this fast. His initial thoughts are simple and single.

That is, ending the Holy Grail War doesn't seem to be that important for the moment?
Especially since he had just experienced the experience of Mr. Zhang Liang, the hero of Uncle Liu and the strategist - "planning between the tents and winning the battle thousands miles away".

Drinking tea with Mrs. Irisviel at home and watching the three beauties, Sakura, Illya and Altria, playing in the courtyard downstairs, what a happy life it is.

However, the headache is that the remaining Masters of this Holy Grail War are not the beast in human skin like Kotomine Kirei, who can be killed like a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

"Tousaka Tokiomi and Waver, these two are the only ones left."

In the backyard of the Matou family, in an old and abandoned room, which was recently renovated by Matou Kariya under the arrangement of Matou Kenshin, Matou Kenshin muttered to himself as he looked at Sakura, Illya, and Mrs. Irisviel, who were playing with bows and arrows in front of him.

The three of them do not need to fight. It can be said that they have nothing to do with this Holy Grail War and are enjoying their hard-earned easy life.

The owner of the room, Kenshin Matou, the current head of the Matou family, was sitting with his two servants, still thinking about the Holy Grail War.

Tōsaka Tokiomi cannot die, this has been decided long ago.

For the sake of Miss Lin's perfect childhood, the scapegoat's life was saved.

Weber, the good student, cannot die. Firstly, he has never done anything disgusting. Secondly, he is very much to Kenshin Matou's liking. During the trip to the clock tower in the simulator, Weber helped Kenshin Matou a lot.

The end of Iskandar does require some changes.

Under the premise that there is no need for the broken cup of the Holy Grail, if Iskandar can accept the irrigation of the black mud, then it is not impossible to give him a body so that he can truly live in the modern world.

The only thing that needs to be considered is whether the energy required by the Holy Grail can be met under the premise that Miss Altria, Diarmuid, Uncle Liu and Iskandar do not leave the stage. This is a problem.

Relying solely on the energy of Bluebeard, Gilgamesh, and Assassin to make the Holy Grail descend is more or less a stretch.

'wrong. '

Jianchen Matou thought of something he had overlooked, and he turned to Diarmuid and asked:

"Diarmuid, are you willing to stay in this world and continue to live as my Servant after the Holy Grail War ends?"

"?" Diarmuid was very confused.

He didn't understand what his master meant, but he still honestly expressed his inner thoughts.

"My Lord, I think it would be better if our fate is limited to this war."

A loyal knight will not go against his conscience and tell false lies.

Being rejected for the first time, Kenshin Matou was stunned, as if he did not expect Diarmuid to give such an answer, but he soon smiled and tactically drank a sip of hot tea.

"Should I say that you are worthy of being called a hero who is favored by beautiful women? This is the first time I have been rejected, Diarmuid, and by a person of the same sex."

It was a long-lost frustration in love. Oh no, how could his relationship with Diarmuid be related to love? It should be, um... forget it. Anyway, it was a long-lost frustration, which surprised Kenshin Matou.

This kind of accident is quite good as a spice of dull life.

"I understand, Diarmuid. I will prepare the best closing ceremony for you."

"Thank you for your understanding, my lord."

Diarmuid, who had been a servant beside Kenneth for a few days, felt a little uncomfortable for a moment when facing such a reasonable Master, Kenshin Matou.

He nodded and tactically took a sip of tea.

The fine tea of ​​the Matou family was a food that was not available in his time. The aromatic hot tea was not only something that Miss Altria could not refuse, but even Diarmuid could not escape it.

Looking ahead, Sakura and Illya were playing with bows and arrows that were almost longer than their height, and Kenshin Matou felt a little itchy.

However, compared to bows and arrows, he was more interested in wielding swords and guns.

Don't get me wrong, he definitely doesn't mean to look down on bows and arrows. In ancient times, for a true warrior, bows and arrows were almost a necessary practice and a very prestigious skill.

The two most famous warriors, both had first-rate skills with the bow and arrow.

Xiang Yu, who almost shot through Uncle Liu's dream of becoming an emperor with one arrow, and Lu Fengxian, who shot the halberd at the gate, were both extremely powerful characters.

But Kenshin Matou is just an "ordinary" rich man, and modern society does not give him the opportunity to go to the battlefield. Even if he really can go to the battlefield, the bow and arrow are already outdated weapons and have become the tears of the times.

Hot weapons perfectly replaced the role of cold weapons such as bows and arrows.

"Diarmuid, look at my sword, how is it dancing?"

It is called sword dancing, and it is truly sword dancing. It looks good in the posture, but in actual combat, you will fall to your knees in one second.

Diarmuid sat on the chair without getting up. He raised his teacup on the tea table, feeling the residual warmth in his hand, and looked at Swordsman Matou who stood up and grabbed the sword.

The sword is dark yellow in color, extremely cold and sharp.

The two characters "Chi Xiao" engraved on it tell the viewer about his identity.

Diarmuid naturally knew Emperor Gaozu of Han, the ancient Eastern country, and had great respect for him. Although he didn't know how to visit him these days, he still met him several times.

——In the dining room of the Matou family.

Although Diarmuid was a little surprised by Uncle Liu's unconventional way of eating, he did not mean to underestimate him.

Looking at his master holding the Chixiao Sword, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him seriously.

Miss Altria, who was standing by, was eating snacks made by the two cute maids, Sera and Lijelite, and her eyes were also on her husband.

However, compared to Diarmuid who still didn't know what was going on, Ms. Altria, who had decades of experience with Matou Kenshin, knew exactly what he was up to. As expected, after watching a small performance - "Matou Kenshin's Sword Dance, Aiming at Diarmuid", the expression on Diarmuid's face became even more distorted.

All along, Diarmuid always maintains a calm expression on his stern face. This is related to his own personality, but this personality matches his outstanding appearance.

As for the effect, I won’t talk too much about it.

Do you understand the value of having a top beauty pay for you?
But the expression on his face now was in stark contrast to his outstanding appearance.

"How can it be……"

The hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. Diarmuid looked at the sword dance posture of Jianchen Matou and began to doubt his life.

It was because he was too familiar with that sword move.

It's exactly like him!
Of course, this does not mean that Diarmuid's swordsmanship is just a show, something that looks good but is useless. On the contrary, Diarmuid's swordsmanship is very strong. If it were not for Miss Altria who served as the Saber in this Holy Grail War, there is a great chance that Diarmuid would be a Saber.

Naturally, his swordsmanship couldn't be just for show.

But at this moment, the sword dance of Kenshin Matou, a sword technique that looked good but was not practical and was only suitable for performance on stage, made Diarmuid, the master of swordsmanship, more and more frightened, and the more he watched, the more he doubted his life.

The way Kenshin Matou dances with the sword is undoubtedly very beautiful. He is young and has agile skills. If the scene was not in the backyard of Matou's house, but on the performance stage of elementary school students across the country, Diarmuid is 100% convinced that his master will definitely win the championship.

The reason for believing this, besides the fact that Kenshin Matou's sword dance is indeed very skilled, is also due to deeper reasons.

Everyone has seen movies, and among them, there is a category that has been popular all over the country, highlighting the fact that it is suitable for all ages and is popular among the people.

This movie is commonly known as a martial arts film, and in the industry it is called an action movie.

Whether it is martial arts or action, they all clearly express what the movie wants to show the audience, and the actions performed by the movie's protagonists are the main means of selling tickets.

In addition to the protagonist's own ideas, these actions also have the help of an important person - the martial arts instructor.

At this moment, Diarmuid's state of mind was similar to that of a martial arts instructor.

He looked at the open space in front of him, where Swordsman Matou was dancing with a sword alone, gradually attracting the attention of everyone in the room. He pursed his lips, raised the teacup with trembling hands, and tactically took a sip of hot tea to moisten his dry throat.

Diarmuid, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had become a heroic spirit, discovered the key point within three moves of Kenshin Matou and understood the meaning of the strange look of his master before the performance began.

The smooth movements, the agile posture, the breathing time, and the transition after the movements all told Diarmuid one thing, that was him!

That is Diarmuid’s ability!
That man was so cool, so distinctive, and so outstanding, with his melancholy eyes, his stubble, his miraculous swordsmanship, and his hair dancing in the wind...

That's exactly me! (Fog)

Diarmuid's mental journey was naturally not so exciting, but his degree of shock was no less.

Every move and every style of Swordsman Matou made Diarmuid couldn't help but think that if he were asked to design sword dance moves, it would definitely be like what Swordsman Matou was performing now.

This is natural, there is no need to doubt it.

Because Kenshin Matou, who has the memory of a simulator, if he has a self-media account, his name must be like this - the seventh-generation head of the Matou family - Kenshin Matou (mentor Diarmuid).

In the simulator, Kenshin Matou and his sister Sakura would come to the room in front of them when they were bored and needed to kill time or when they needed to exercise.

Little Sakura is very interested in bows and arrows, so Diarmuid will teach her how to use them.

Kenshin Matou was very interested in swordsmanship, and Diarmuid, who was very good at swordsmanship, naturally taught him swordsmanship very easily.

In this way, even if the teaching is only for a few days, only the basic routines are taught, and no battle ideas and coping experience are taught at all.

The talented swordsman Matou, after Diarmuid was defeated in the battle with Miss Altria and returned to dust, still maintained the habit of practicing swordsmanship for several hours every day.

Therefore, even though he is just showing off his sword dancing skills now, if a real fight comes up, he can also exchange a few moves with ordinary masters.

However, the chance of that happening is almost non-existent.

Practicing swordsmanship is just a hobby of Jianchen Matou. After all, few people can resist the temptation of cold weapons, and can control the urge to swing the sword with a sword at their side.

Matou Kenshin couldn't control himself, but he could only swing it twice.

If he really encounters danger and has to fight, Kenshin Matou will only rely on the help of his wife and the magic he learned from teacher Orange to defend himself.

To fight with a sword is simply to overestimate your own life and give your opponent more opportunities.

Unfortunately, although Kenshin Matou has a lovely and virtuous wife at home, he has no intention of losing interest in life. He does not want to die and wants to live a good life.

A happy life is very long. If there really is a deadline and you will feel bored after that deadline, Jianchen Matou hopes that the deadline will be forever. If you have to add a time limit, he hopes it will be ten thousand years!

"call…"

After the performance, Jianchen Matou put the Scarlet Sky Sword back into the scabbard and placed it at his waist, then walked to the side of Artoria and Diarmuid, drinking tea and wiping the sweat off his face.

Although it is early winter now, the weather is still very cold. In order to experience the feeling of nature, the heating is not turned on in this house, and everyone is wearing winter-only clothing.

——Well, this is also an important reason not to turn on the heating.

The winter limited edition skins of Mrs. Irisviel, Sakura-chan, Illya, and Miss Altria are all very beautiful and are the most beautiful scenery of the Matou family.

After finishing his sword dance performance, Jianchen Matou drank a sip of tea to quench his thirst. Before he could go to see the most beautiful scenery of the Matou family, the most beautiful scenery ran to him.

"elder brother!"

Without paying any attention to the faint smell of sweat on Kenshin Matou's body after he finished dancing with the sword, little Sakura flew directly into her brother's arms.

"That was so beautiful, brother, so amazing!"

Unreserved praise came from the mouth of the sister who longed for her brother. Illya, who was running over with little Sakura, had sparkling eyes and looked enviously at little Sakura who was acting coquettishly in her brother's arms.

The master of keeping things balanced would naturally not fail to notice this, and in front of Mrs. Irisviel, Kenshin Matou stretched out one arm and looked at the lovely Illya.

Little Illya, whose skin was too fair, blushed immediately. She stood there at a loss for a while, trying to dig her way out of the three-bedroom and one-living-room room with her toes for a while, then looked at her mother.

Finally, with Mrs. Irisviel's 'reluctant' nod, she performed the same action as Sakura-chan, but with less force.
