The next day, early in the morning.

Jianchen Jiantong opened his eyes without much confusion, because before going to bed last night, he had already thought about what he was going to do when he woke up this morning.

"Hu..." Breathe gently and adjust your state.

He closed his eyes, which had just opened on a new day, and tried to activate his body and make his senses more sensitive.

Last night, the two sisters reunited after separation and chatted for a long time next to him.

It was Kenshin Matou's idea to divide this room into two parts, in order to give little Sakura a sense of security while ensuring her private space.

But the conditions were limited at the time, and Kenshin Matou even had to ask the old bug, that beast Matou Zouken, for help before he could complete the renovation of the room.

So although the renovated room can guarantee Sakura's private space, it only has this function.

As for other features, such as sound insulation, there is none at all.

So even if Miss Rin and Sakura were chatting in a low voice, Kenshin Matou could still hear them clearly without using any magic.

Yes, if you couldn't hear clearly, Kenshin Matou did have the idea of ​​using magic.

Although it was a bit vulgar, he was really curious.

Just like that, while listening to the non-explosive conversation between Miss Rin and Sakura, Kenshin Matou slowly fell asleep.

Although the content of those chats was not very explosive, they gave people a special feeling.

If I have to describe it, it's like watching anime and the protagonists talking to each other after a big battle.

This feeling is both fresh and interesting. For Kenshin Matou, it is an indispensable embellishment in his ordinary and happy life.

So he got up early.

"..."

After eavesdropping in the corner for a while, Jianchen Matou only heard the sound of regular breathing.

He was very familiar with Sakura's breathing. When there were only two people next door, knowing the breathing sound of one was the same as knowing the breathing sound of both.

Jianchen Matou thought boredly.

He stretched his limbs hard, feeling the pleasure of stretching, and then touched the warm object on his chest - it was not a doll.

Dolls are difficult to make, especially when combined with the Einzbern's artificial human technology.

Although Kenshin Matou has been itching to do something these days, he has not taken action because he feels uneasy that the Holy Grail War has not ended, and the materials are scarce.

What he was touching now was Uncle Liu's sword, the famous Chixiao Sword.

He doesn't have a fetish, but he does have a crush on Chi Xiao.

It’s not because of Chi Xiao himself, no, it’s because of Chi Xiao himself. It’s not because of Chi Xiao himself, he loves Chi Xiao’s ability.

Uncle Liu told him about the ability to "nurture the power of the ruler."

Although I don't know what the nourishment that Uncle Liu mentioned is, but Chinese people will understand it once it is related to health preservation.

Then we have to take it seriously.

Holding the Chixiao Sword, which was obviously a cold weapon but had warmth on it, Jiantong Jianchen thought that he should give the sword a bath.

Ok……

Before Jian Tong Jianchen played with the Scarlet Sky Sword, he had always been following Uncle Liu.

It is well known that Uncle Liu is a bit unconventional, but this unconventionality is nothing to Kenshin Matou. Uncle Liu does not despise him, and he does not despise Uncle Liu either.

But what Kenshin Matou is thinking of now is to put the Scarlet Scabbard Sword next door and let Miss Rin and little Sakura sleep in it for a few days.

This requires careful preparation.

Jian Tong Jianchen did not dislike Uncle Liu because he also knew what kind of person he was, and he was not much cleaner than Uncle Liu. After all, they had a very good compatibility.

But can little Sakura be the same as Miss Rin?

That must not be possible.

In Jian Tong Jian Chen's heart, the two of them are treasures that should only exist in heaven, so naturally they cannot come into direct contact with the slightly "dirty" and uncleaned Chi Xiao.

"Hey, Chi Xiao, don't blame me. I've been very busy before. I'll purify you today."

"By the way, you haven't never taken a bath except in the rain since you were born, right?"

"What a pity! If you had appeared in the failed novel I wrote in my previous life, I would have given you the entire spirit of the weapon, a cold and speechless lolita, a noble and cold elder sister..."

"What kind of character do you like?"

He talked to himself for a while towards the Scarlet Sky Sword, but fortunately it did not react.

Otherwise, Jianchen Jiantong would really become suspicious, and he would be frightened to death like Ye Gong who saw a dragon.

"Little guy, you are quite sensible."

After praising the stupid Chi Xiao Sword and confirming that the two little cuties next door were still sleeping, Jian Tong Jian Chen did not choose to stay in bed any longer.

The quilt in winter is indeed a powerful seal, but a life without work and sleeping until you wake up naturally every day is like a sharp sword that easily pierces this seal.

Get up, get dressed, and get out of bed.

Standing in front of the mirror, Jianchen Matou looked at himself who had just woken up.

"It seems a little higher?"

Little boys of this age are growing up.

His appearance changes almost every year, but he doesn't care much about the upper limit of his height.

"My height in the simulator seems to be 186cm, right?"

Jianchen Jianchen found a chair and sat down.

It is still time now, the sky has just brightened, little Sakura and Miss Rin have not gotten up yet, and Kenshin Matou, who did not "press the power button", is sitting there in a daze.

He didn't know how long it was before he heard a sound next door.

Knowing that Sakura and Miss Rin were starting to get up, Kenshin Matou sat there patiently and waited for a while. When he felt it was about time, he knocked on the door.

Although he has a good relationship with Miss Lin, basic respect is still required. One must have a sense of propriety in life and remember that too much is as bad as too little.

Besides, he himself has a lot of psychological burden.

Xiao Xiaoying is okay. He has always treated her like an older brother and has a clear conscience.

Miss Rin can't do that.

At Miss Rin's age, using her age advantage to attack her would be sheer bullying.

Kenshin Matou admits that he cannot be called a good person, but he is not too cruel either.

I have to wait until high school to express my feelings for Miss Rin.

"elder brother."

"What do you want to do?"

A soft voice and a questioning voice sounded one after another after knocking on the door.

"Can I come in?" asked Jianchen Jianchen.

"No."

"Sure, brother."

One agrees, the other disagrees.

Matou Kenshin chose to refer to the voices that disagreed. He said, "Rin, if there is anything inconvenient, please solve it quickly, otherwise I will be in low spirits for the whole day."

"Ah?" Miss Rin cried out in confusion after hearing the voice, and then asked, "What do you want to do? You entered my sister's room so early in the morning. Are you planning something bad to Sakura?"

Just by listening to the voice, Kenshin Matou could imagine the scene of Miss Rin holding Sakura and protecting her sister behind her.

"It's just a normal activity between siblings. Rin, how can there be so much crap in your head at such a young age? Should I report this to Uncle Shichen?"

"..."

After about thirty seconds of silence, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"you dare!"

Facing Miss Rin who is aggressive and wearing what should be Sakura's pajamas.

Jianchen Jianchen was very sincere:

"Don't dare."

Under Miss Rin's scrutiny, Kenshin Matou entered the room.

There was a new smell in the room today. For Kenshin Matou, who often went in and out of Sakura's room, this smell was easy to distinguish.

Because there are more things in the room than usual, there is one and only one.

Sniffing the extra smell in the room, Kenshin Matou walked over to Sakura who was already sitting in front of the dressing table, in front of Miss Rin.

She tied her hair up expertly.

At this time, Miss Rin, who had her hair down like little Sakura, looked at Kenshin Matou's skillful movements and did not resist at all like her sister, as if they had already been used to it.

I feel an inexplicable feeling in my heart.

She didn't want to just stand there like an outsider, watching the performance of the person in front of her, with no reason to speak and no idea how to start.

She walked to the bed and sat down, watching Jian Tong's movements silently.

Taking care of hair would be very troublesome for a novice, but for a veteran like Kenshin Matou, who only serves one person, it is a very difficult task.

It's something that can be solved with your eyes closed.

Soon, the hair-care process came to the final step, which was also the "power button" that Jian Tong Jianchen pressed every day after waking up.

She first tied the blue-purple hair tie that she had carefully prepared on her sister's left hair.

This action was very common for the siblings Kenshin Matou and Sakura, and Miss Rin, who was sitting on the bed watching, didn't think it was a big deal either.

But what happened afterwards was something that Miss Rin could not ignore.

That is--

A bright red hairband, a gift that I gave to my younger sister when she was adopted into the Matou family.

It is now held in the hands of Jianchen Matou.

She stood up unconsciously and walked to the side of Jianchen Matou, staring at the bright red hair tie in his hand.

This hair tie is not just a gift, but also Miss Rin's thoughts for little Sakura. At that time, she only knew that her sister would leave her.

I don’t know what the future will be like, all I feel is fear and anxiety.

So, Toosaka Tokitoki did all kinds of bad things.

This time, when Miss Rin saw the hair tie she prepared for Sakura, she felt a different kind of emotion in her heart.

This kind of feeling cannot be seen or touched.

She could only stand there and watch Kenshin Matou's actions, so that he didn't do what Kenshin Matou wanted to see.

However, Jianchen Jiantong was not disappointed.

His little thoughts came up in a comfortable state.

Miss Lin's current state of mind is not at ease, but rather extremely agitated. She is at a loss as to what to do, yet wants to do something.

"Rin, do you want me to braid your hair?"

"Ah."

Miss Rin nodded when she heard what was said. When Kenshin Matou's hand touched her hair and she felt it pulling, she realized what had happened.

Looking at herself in the mirror, who was silent and obviously full of worries, and Sakura standing behind Kenshin Matou, Miss Rin moved her lower lip.

In the end nothing was said.

Time passes slowly, but also quickly.

Looking at Miss Rin, who still looked worried and spiritless after having her hair tied up, Kenshin Matou could feel the worry of his sister.

He himself didn't want to see Miss Lin like this.

So he took Miss Lin's hand and said with pretended disgust: "You didn't take a shower yesterday, did you, Lin? You smell."

"Come downstairs with me to wash up first, and then take a bath after breakfast. You will definitely be satisfied with the hot springs of the Matou family."

After saying that, regardless of whether Miss Rin agreed or refused, he took Rin's left hand and Sakura's right hand and walked to the first floor together.

They saw the adorable Miss Altria, standing there stupidly with her toiletries in her hand, and Illya, who had come forward after somehow finding out about their secret operation.

Well, the whole family, except Mrs. Irisviel, is complete and together.

"Illya, where's your mother?"

Matou Kenshin, who felt a little regretful that one person was missing, asked little Illya who was holding pink toiletries.

"Mom is chatting with Rin's mom and left me alone to look for my brother."

"Really?" Kenshin Matou nodded, thinking it must be about Rin. Although she slept in Sakura's room last night, Miss Rin did call Tokitoki Toosaka and Mrs. Tokisaka Aoi to inform them.

But this is the Matou family after all, so it is normal for Mrs. Toosaka Aoi to be worried.

Among these people in the Matou family, if we first exclude the unreliable Matou Kariya, the only option left who can inquire about the information for Mrs. Toosaka Aoi is Mrs. Irisviel.

But Mrs. Tousaka Aoi may be disappointed.

Although Mrs. Irisviel is young physically, her mind is mature enough to be able to impersonate a Master during the Holy Grail War.

In comparison, Mrs. Tōsaka Aoi, who was deceived by Kotomine Kirei and directly broke down Matou Kariya's defense, was much less experienced.

The gap is about one-half, the gap between Tōsaka Tokitoki and Matou Kariya.

But this is not bad. After all, it is a good thing for bored ladies to get together and chat.

After a pleasant wash, everyone chatted and laughed and came to the Matou family's restaurant together.

In the restaurant.

Mrs. Toosaka Aoi was chatting with Mrs. Irisviel, and both ladies smiled and nodded when they saw their daughters.

Toosaka Tokitoki and Matou Kariya, two people who don't get along well with each other, are also sitting together and drinking tea.

It's just that Toosaka Tokitoki drinks tea, which is the leisurely life of a retired old man.

When Matou Kariya was drinking tea, he felt uncomfortable as if he was forced to sit with relatives who were not very close to him.

It's really embarrassing for the Matou family.

However, when Tousaka Tokito offended Matou Kariya, he was really picking on a weakling.

Without giving any thought to Matou Kirei, Matou Kenshin walked to Uncle Liu's exclusive seat, sat down, and started eating breakfast first.

He has a heavy task today.

Let’s see if we can get rid of Gilgamesh in the morning. If we can, we’ll contact Weber and Iskandar in the afternoon.

The Holy Grail War should also end. (End of this chapter)
