Chapter 28 Matou's Grandson vs Matou's Master
Inside the Matou family residence, after performing the last defensive magic in case of emergency, Matou Zouken tightened the cane in his hand and stood there in a daze for a long time.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, a smile so scary that it could scare a whole classroom of children to tears.
——He thought of his grandson.
Kenshin Matou is truly the pride of the Matou family.
Matou Zouken's heart was burning with passion. Compared to his other "descendants" who were incompetent and had been expelled from the Matou family by him, only Matou Kenshin was worthy of his attention.
He laughed even more happily and tapped the ground with his cane twice.
He took action. His beloved grandson should have been on his way home. He was going to the gate and wait for his grandson.
——Like every old person who cares for children.
But for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart seemed to become stronger whenever he thought of his grandson.
He frowned, guessing something in his mind.
This is not a big deal. Every child goes through a rebellious period, even his most proud grandson.
As long as rebellious children know the authority of their parents, everything will be fine.
……
……
"elder brother?"
Sakura, holding Kenshin Matou's small hand with her smaller hand, tilted her head and looked at her brother with some worry.
They were just going home, but Ying couldn't understand why his brother was so... nervous?
The sweat on her brother's palm made Sakura, who was holding his hand, feel uncomfortable. This is human nature and it is not something that can be changed just because you love the person and the people in him.
But Sakura didn't let go, instead she held on tighter.
She wants to encourage her brother in her own way!
Although she didn't know what her brother was nervous about, it didn't matter. A sister had to stand up for her brother when he needed her!
In the past, it was her elder sister who protected Sakura.
Now, while Sakura is protected by her brother, she also wants to contribute her own strength.
Kenshin Matou rubbed Sakura's little head and looked at her hair swaying due to the shaking. The blue and purple hair strings and the red hair strings on it were intertwined. All of this made Kenshin Matou feel good.
He turned around and looked behind him, but there was nothing in his sight.
But he knew that his followers were there.
"Brother Bang, could you please not transform into a spirit? I feel insecure when you do this. I don't lack the magic power to materialize you, right?"
Matou Kenshin tries to make his servant appear.
The servant refused coldly.
Looking at Sakura's puzzled expression, Kenshin Matou did not feel embarrassed and continued walking on the road he had walked for many days as usual.
Walk slowly and enjoy the scenery along the road.
Every tree, every flower, every wall, every pedestrian passing by, today's wind, today's afternoon sunshine, today's weather, today's cherry blossoms, all attracted Kenshin Matou's great attention and he stared for a long time.
He... wasn't sure if what he saw before him would be the last time they met.
On the back of his left hand, the Command Spell with red lines lay quietly, without a trace of warmth or security.
When the Command Spell loses its effectiveness, one becomes even more helpless.
All of Jian Tong Jian Chen's chips were placed on Liu Bang. Liu Bang was willing to pass this level, and even if there were numerous difficulties and risks in the future, there would still be opportunities.
Liu Bang was unwilling, so this level ended and the game of life ended.
"The wind rises and the clouds fly," Jian Tong Jianchen suddenly shouted, scaring Ying, and Liu Bang, who was following behind him, also paused.
He continued to speak to himself: "I will return to my hometown with great power throughout the country."
"The strong warriors are here to guard the four sides!"
Swordsman Matou used crude schemes and unsightly methods to try to awaken the conscience of his servant.
Although he didn't know the reason, the memory from the previous simulation was still vivid in his mind. He really couldn't forget his Servant's words, "I am a Heroic Spirit. I will die if I want to. What else do I want?"
Apparently, his Servant had nothing to ask for from the Holy Grail.
This is the most fatal thing, which means that his servants do not need to care about the life or death of the Master, because there is nothing to ask for from the Holy Grail, so it does not matter whether the Master lives or dies.
'Liu Bei appeared, I have never been to Liu Bang's temple in my previous life, but I have been to your temple. I have also been to your Wuhou Temple, where we are close friends. Please ask your ancestors to save me!'
Thinking of trying every possible means to cure his illness, Jianchen Jianchen finally walked to the door of his home.
The gate made of ancient wood was tightly closed. The colors of the surrounding walls were a combination of red, black and gray. There were two bare trees in front of the gate, one was a poplar and the other was also a poplar.
The scent of the poplar trees was covered, and what filled the air was a foul smell of decay.
Matou Zouken was standing in front of the door, looking at the child returning home kindly.
However, his amiable face did not last for even a second before his expression changed. His eyes, sunken in his eye sockets, widened as if they were about to fly out, and the corners of his raised mouth dropped, leaving only an image that looked neither human nor ghost.
Kenshin Matou held Sakura's hand tighter and protected her behind him. If he had to die today, he would die first.
“Haha, haha…”
An unpleasant laugh came from the mouth of Matou Zouken.
He calmly adjusted his light green and dark gray kimono, and his eyes swept from behind Kenshin Matou, to Sakura, and then to Kenshin Matou in turn.
Finally it stopped on Kenshin Matou.
"My most outstanding child with the greatest magical talent, you really have given Grandpa a surprise."
Matou Zouken stared at Matou Kenshin, focusing on the hidden left hand.
As he wished, Jianchen Matou raised his left hand and turned it over, revealing the red Command Seal rune on the back of his hand.
"Is that so? The Holy Grail War, the Master's proof, and..."
Matou Zouken turned his gaze away from Matou Kenshin and looked behind him, "The heroes from history who have been summoned!"
Kenshin Matou also took Sakura's hand, turned his head and looked behind him.
After seeing Liu Bang appear, without any hesitation, Kenshin Matou pulled Sakura and retreated behind Liu Bang. His small body blocked Sakura behind him, and he was also obscured by Liu Bang's thin body.
In an instant, Liu Bang was the only one left in Matou Zouken's sight.
Looking at the old man in cloth, with a sword at his waist and an old face, Matou Zouken frowned. Without the display of the Noble Phantasm, it would be difficult to tell the true identity of the Servant from his appearance unless he had particularly obvious characteristics.
And when the true identity cannot be revealed and the weaknesses cannot be found.
Even for the great magician Matou Zouken, the chances of defeating a Heroic Spirit are slim.
