Today's breakfast at the Matou family was still harmonious.
Everyone has their own dining partner, and they all get along fairly well.
Mrs. Irisviel - Mrs. Toosaka Aoi (True 'respectful to each other' group).
Tosaka Tokitoki - Matou Kariya (Winner in life, current role, happy wife and children vs. middle-aged decadent, old bachelor, perpetual dog-licking group.)
Kenshin Matou - Miss Rin - Little Sakura - Illya (Elementary School Group).
Sarah-Lijelite (cute maid group).
In order to prevent Diarmuid from appearing pitiful, Miss Altria, who should have been assigned to the elementary school student group, was reluctantly assigned to the Heroic Spirit group with him.
In this way, everyone has their own dining partner.
Today's breakfast ended happily.
After breakfast, everyone has different things to do.
Matou Kariya was cleaning up the leftovers on the table, while Sera and Lijelite were demonstrating the new tea-making techniques they had learned.
Jianchen Matou didn't know whether the tea would taste better if brewed in this way, because this was the first time he had seen it.
But before tasting the tea, he still had some things to do.
He gave Tousaka Tokito a look, but the other party frowned and didn't understand.
This left Jianchen Jiantong speechless.
He then used his eyes to signal Mrs. Irisviel who was chatting with Mrs. Toosaka Aoi, and the other party also thought for a while before understanding what Kenshin Matou meant.
But before she could open her mouth, Jian Tong Jianchen spoke first:
"Rin, Mrs. Tousaka Aoi, the weather is very nice today."
"Yes."
Mrs. Toosaka Aoi responded, not knowing what was going on.
"Then let Mrs. Irisviel take you ladies to experience the hot springs of our Matou family. I'm sure you will be satisfied."
Kenshin Matou knew that what he said was not very appropriate, but he was not worried at all that Mrs. Toosaka Aoi would reject him because Toosaka Tokitoki would help him.
As expected, this presumptuous request left Mrs. Toosaka Aoi at a loss as to what to do.
Now that they were on the territory of the Matou family, it was not a wise choice to refuse directly, but taking a hot spring bath here with their two daughters was also not a good choice.
Mrs. Toosaka Aoi does not have difficulty making choices, because a long time ago, perhaps when she married into the Toosaka family and became Toosaka Tokitoki's wife, or perhaps even earlier, she voluntarily gave up her right to choose.
She entrusted this right of her own to her husband.
So after seeing her husband nod to her, Mrs. Toosaka Aoi agreed to Kenshin Matou's invitation and left the restaurant with her two daughters.
After the area was cleared, Jianchen Jianchen had no more worries.
He lay in the arms of Lady Altria and said to Tousaka Tokitoki who was not sure why and looked ready for battle:
"Time~"
Matou Kariya, who did not leave and was still cleaning the room, heard Matou Kenshin calling Tōsaka Tokitoki in a tone that was so familiar to him.
The expressions of deep bitterness and hatred all relaxed a lot.
This voice that calls me every day, the voice of a nephew calling his uncle, the voice like calling a dog, is used on Toosaka Tokitoki.
It’s really comfortable!
"Jianchen, you are truly a good nephew to your uncle."
Thinking happily in his heart, Matou Kariya stole a glance at Tōsaka Tokitoki, and after noticing that he looked extremely bad, his cleaning movements became a little faster.
If the current scene wasn't quite appropriate, Matou Kariya would even want to hum a few times to express his joy.
His happiness was noticed by Kenshin Matou and Tousaka Tokichi, but neither of them wanted to pay attention to him because it was time to talk about business.
"Shichen~" Matou Kenshin repeated before continuing, "The Holy Grail War should be over soon. Are you ready to let your Servant, the proud king, face death?"
"of course."
Tousaka Tokitoki's expression was very calm, and he didn't look like a Master who would backstab a Servant at all.
"From the moment we signed the contract, Gilgamesh was not only my servant, but also my enemy."
"To kill the enemy, there is naturally no need to make any preparations."
Tousaka Tokitoki nodded slightly to Sera to express his gratitude, and gently took a sip of the hot tea made by the Einzbern android maid.
"Huh..." Blowing away the rolling hot air, Jianchen Matou also took a sip of hot tea.
After all the fancy techniques, the brewed tea doesn't taste any different.
Some people don't like to drink strong tea for various reasons, some say it's bad for the body, and some say it's too bitter.
Not Jianchen Matou, he likes to drink strong tea very much.
Perhaps it was because of this that he did not appreciate the "magic" of the fancy brewing techniques.
Matou Kenshin, who didn't care much about this matter, didn't say anything more after getting the answer from Tousaka Tokishin, but stood up directly.
"Without further delay, let's get ready and set off now."
Having said that, Tousaka Tokitoki didn't need to prepare anything, and he didn't know what to prepare. The person who really needed to prepare was Kenshin Matou himself who said this.
He took out his cell phone and dialed the number according to his memory.
Tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick, that's... the sound of a clock.
The mobile phone number was successfully connected as soon as it was dialed.
"Hey."
When Jianchen Matou heard the familiar voice, his heart was touched.
"Hello, Grandpa Mackenzie. I'm Webber's friend. May I ask if he's awake yet? I have something to ask him."
Although old man McKenzie in the simulator was kidnapped by that guy Emiya Kiritsugu, he threatened Weber and Iskandar to attack Kenshin Matou.
But Emiya Kiritsugu did not hurt him.
After the end of the Holy Grail War, Kenshin Matou fulfilled his promise and invested in a large nursing home in Fuyuki City, which he used purely as a social welfare institution.
Of course, not everyone can enter.
Rich people?
In Fuyuki City, in front of the Matou family that has unified the Tōsaka family and the Einzbern family, rich people mean nothing!
There are very strict requirements for entering a nursing home.
Including but not limited to: the evaluation of people around, Kenshin Matou's subjective wishes, social reputation, whether there is a bad record, etc.
Even so, the nursing home invested by the Matou family and managed by Mr. Mackenzie is still a place where many elderly people are eager to enter.
These elderly people who have lived for most of their lives and are about to die want to enter nursing homes, not for the benefits there, after all, those who are unlucky have suffered all their lives. Those who are lucky do not care about these benefits.
These lovely old people are trying their best to get into a nursing home.
It was all for his own children. He wanted to label them as being related to the Matou family.
Whether this label is useful outside of Fuyuki City is not the question, but in Fuyuki, it works better than anything else.
In the later stage of the simulator, if Kenshin Matou had ambitions for expansion, it would not have been difficult for him to work hard to take the island country for himself and expand the territory for his country.
But he always acted as he had said to Uncle Liu before.
He just wants to live his life happily and peacefully.
So when he reached the later stage, after he had backers in both the magic world and the real world, he did not do whatever he wanted, but just stayed in his own territory and spent the rest of his life in peace.
"Ah, are you Weber's friend? Weber, someone is looking for you."
It had only been a few days since the Holy Grail War began, and Weber's magic had not yet lost its effect. At this time, old man Mackenzie had not yet discovered that Weber was not his grandson.
So he really regarded Jianchen Matou as Waver's friend and had no vigilance at all.
It's completely different from what happens in the simulator.
Weber, who had just finished his meal and was helping Mrs. MacKenzie clean up the dishes in the kitchen, took the phone from Mr. MacKenzie's hand after hearing his cry.
"..."
There was silence for three full seconds.
During this special period, in this strange country, Weber could easily think of someone who could call him.
"The Tousaka family?"
"The Matou family?"
"Einzbern?"
'still……'
Before coming to Fuyuki City to participate in the Holy Grail War, the cautious Waver had investigated this large-scale magic event.
Naturally, I know something about this country, this city, and the three great families that are closely related to the Holy Grail War.
In his opinion, the person in this city who could find Mr. Mackenzie's phone number and call him at this time was most likely one of the three royal families.
"Hello, Waver Velvet, welcome to Fuyuki City."
As the future manager of Fuyuki City, Kenshin Matou has reason to welcome Waver.
After making an opening statement, he began to get to the point.
"Weber~"
This time the tone was not like calling a dog, but the tone of a white-haired old man educating his juniors.
But whether it was the former or the current one, Weber still frowned.
After all, this student who is having a quarrel with me is still in his rebellious period.
However, Jian Tong Jianchen's next words made it impossible for him to rebel.
"The Master of this Holy Grail War, the representative hired by Einzbern, Emiya Kiritsugu, is dead. He was killed by his Servant. You saw it with your own eyes."
"Well...his Servant, King Arthur Altria Pendragon, who descended as a Saber, is now mine."
"So, Einzbern is out."
"The Master of this Holy Grail War, your dear teacher, the Lord of the El-Melloi family, has his servants recruited by me, and he himself has left Fuyuki City and returned to the Clock Tower."
"I wonder if you know this news?"
"The Master of this Holy Grail War, um... Kotomine Kirei, the son of the old priest Kotomine Risei of the Fuyuki City Church, was killed by me because he did not follow the rules and had a bad record."
"Including him, Einzbern, the Church, and your teacher, three of the seven Masters of the Holy Grail War have been eliminated."
"I am also the Master of this Holy Grail War, so there are three left."
"Among the three, except for you, the remaining ones are only the master of the Tohsaka family and a magician who broke in by accident. That magician was a murderer, so I killed him too."
"Then, it only leaves you and the current head of the Tousaka family, Tousaka Tokitoki."
"Right now, Tousaka Toki is sitting across from me. I have reached an agreement with him and plan to execute his Servant today, the man that Iskandar could not defeat - Gilgamesh."
"That is to say, if one of us is eliminated, the Holy Grail War will be over."
"Today at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, at dusk, during the time of the devil, we will meet at the bridge over the Mion River in Fuyuki City."
"Okay, do you have any questions?"
On the other end of the phone, Jianchen Matou took a sip of warm tea to moisten his throat.
Weber on the other end of the phone rolled his dry throat. His heart was in shock and his brain was overwhelmed with information, so he asked:
"who are you?"
"..."
Jianchen Jianchen hung up the phone.
Young Weber is obviously still unconscious and needs to talk to his king, Iskandar, before he can recover.
He used an ability similar to telepathy to ask Mr. Liu, whom he had not seen for two days:
"Uncle, I haven't seen you these past two days. I really can't eat or sleep well, and I don't have the energy to do anything. I didn't feel your greatness when we were together, but after we broke up, I realized that you are so..."
The eloquent Jianchen Matou spoke for three minutes.
Inside the "Hanjie", Uncle Liu, who was drinking morning wine with his old friend and leaning against a beautiful woman, just listened silently for three minutes.
Opposite him was Gilgamesh, who had a sour face and was very disappointing, but he couldn't disappoint Uncle Liu.
Because of that stinky face, Gilgamesh has encountered the simple "birdsong and flowers" of the old farmers in Pei County many times in recent days.
But Gilgamesh, who was unable to kill people but whose own abilities did not disappear, was no ordinary person. It was unknown what abilities he used.
It automatically blocks out external perception.
Now, he is facing Uncle Liu, drinking the fine wine from the King's Treasure, with a sense of tranquility of "living in a bustling city but with his heart in the countryside".
Uncle Liu doesn’t care. He drinks, eats and plays.
Most of the old friends around him didn't care. Things were the same as before. Only a few of them couldn't stand Gilgamesh's sour face.
Plus, I hold a grudge very much——
As soon as Gilgamesh arrived at the inherent barrier, he planned to massacre the entire Pei County.
Therefore, even if he has blocked his perception of the outside world, those who curse him know that he can't hear them, but they still continue to curse.
What is this "You think you are Xiang Yu, slaughtering the city? You slaughtered the fuck out of you, I'll fuck you, you fucking bastard, xxxx!"
Greetings like these were free, so the idle old farmers naturally ran to Gilgamesh to say a few words of greeting after eating and drinking their fill.
After Jianchen Jianchen had finished his flattery, Mr. Liu slowly replied:
"It's a bit troublesome. The grandson was scolded so badly that he retreated into his shell and broke his teeth." (End of this chapter)
