Chapter 40: One day is, a lifetime is (please read, want to try to promote QAQ)

squeak~
The door of the Matou residence opened in response.

What caught Jianchen Jianchen's eyes was Uncle Liu's drunken, red face.

He just glanced at it and ignored it.

After seeing the treasure of the Matou family and his sister Sakura, he felt relieved.

but,

Looking at the oil stains on the corners of Ying's mouth and the action of patting her belly...

Kenshin Matou's eyes fixed. Without thinking, he knew that there must be a demon behind Sakura.

Who is the monster? Apart from Uncle Liu who is drunk, there seems to be no one else who can tell.

"Brother~"

Looking at Kenshin Matou whose expression kept changing, Sakura felt a little worried.

Matou Kenshin shook his head, took Sakura's hand, and had a relaxed smile on his face:

"Go home, Sakura."

After a simple tidying up, Jianchen Jiantong lay down on the bed.

Sakura slept next to him.

There were two large beds facing each other, with Kenshin Matou and Sakura's heads only two bedside tables apart, and they could hear each other's breathing clearly.

This was done specifically to comfort Sakura, who had just been abandoned by her parents.

Every night before going to bed, although Sakura didn't speak, Kenshin Matou could feel that she slept very late.

It would be impossible for a little girl of only seven years old to recover in a short period of time after experiencing such a great change.

Only a long period of time can make the wounds in the heart heal and fall off.

With his eyes slightly closed, Jianchen Matou looked at the three unused times in the simulator, a gleam in his eyes.

The food in the kitchen is wailing.

——The Matou family is recruiting chefs urgently!
The key to employing people is to employ their relatives. This has been the case since ancient times.

No matter how many advantages an outsider has, he does not have the blood connection that makes people feel at ease.

However, this was not what Kenshin Matou was considering.

For him, who has the double protection of a simulator and memories of his past life, there is really not much difference between using relatives or outsiders.

But since it was his own family member who could use it, he didn't intend to let it go.

After all, it’s better to use it than not to use it.

Start the simulation.

[After waking up, you stretch happily. ]

[Matou Zouken is dead. Now you are the head of the Matou family. You have absolute power, but you also bear corresponding responsibilities.]

[For breakfast, you, your sister, and your servants eat fairly healthy food. It is not difficult to make milk and eggs, but even something as simple as boiling eggs still makes you feel bored.]

[As the seventh-generation head of the Matou family, how could I be left alone to do production? ]

[For many days after that, the Matou family had takeout for three meals a day. ]

[You start to feel annoyed, and you choose...]

[1. Learn cooking skills; 2. Command servants; 3. Continue to wait; 4. Free simulation. ]

Are you serious about option 2, commanding the servants?

Can he order Uncle Liu around?

The servants he can command are still so troublesome?

Jianchen Jianchen had a toothache.

Option one is impossible. Cooking is something I will never be able to do in my life.

Option 4, a useless option as usual.

He chose option three.

[You choose to continue waiting.] [After a few days, you finally waited for your cheap uncle, Matou Kariya, who was born to be a dog-licker.]

[Because the Holy Grail War is imminent, he returns to Fuyuki City out of concern for the safety of Tousaka Aoi. ]

[From Tousaka Aoi, he learned that Sakura was adopted by the Matou family. ]

[Unlike outsiders, as a member of the Matou family, he clearly knows what kind of person the head of the Matou family, Matou Zouken, is.]

[Perhaps it was out of jealousy, or perhaps it was to prove himself in front of the goddess. Even though he knew what Sakura might have encountered, he still chose not to tell Toosaka Aoi and Toosaka Tokiomi. He chose to return to the Matou family alone.]

[Matou Kariya returns to the Matou family with a troubled mood and complicated feelings.]

[Not seeing Matou Zouken made this middle-aged man who had fled alone to avoid family responsibilities feel much more at ease. 】

[He looked at Sakura hiding behind you and showed a look of surprise. ]

The scene appears.

"Ying, are you okay? Come home with uncle, and I will take you to find your mother."

In the lobby of the Matou family, looking at Sakura hiding behind his nephew, Matou Kariya couldn't control the surprise on his face.

As long as... as long as he can bring Sakura back, Toosaka Aoi will definitely look at him with admiration!

As for what would happen after he was impressed, Matou Kariya didn't think about it. It seemed that his brain capacity had been filled up to this point. Once he mentioned the matter about Toosaka Aoi, his CPU, which was not very good to begin with, was too lazy to even work.

Looking at the uncle in her memory and the smile on his face, Ying was very scared.

Kenshin Matou held Sakura's hand, his brows furrowed.

He sneered and said, "Who am I? Isn't this my uncle, Matou Kariya, who was frustrated in love, fled in a panic, didn't dare to go home, and evaded his responsibilities? What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you want to go home?"

"Sword Minister?"

Matou Kariya was stunned. The younger generation's teasing made him feel very embarrassed:

"How do you talk to your uncle? Is this how the old man taught you etiquette?"

Proud of his status, Matou Kariya preached to Matou Kenshin.

Looking at Matou Kariya who was so arrogant as to try to take away his most precious treasure, Matou Kenshin's face became even colder.

"Old man, you still know yourself, old man. Should I say you are courageous, or have you lost your mind for love..."

Jianchen Matou smiled and stroked his non-existent beard.

"Matou Zouken is dead. Now, I am the head of the Matou family!"

"what!"

Matou Kariya’s heart was shocked.

"The old man is dead? How is that possible!"

Others may not know, but as a member of the Matou family, how could he not know? Matou Zouken is an old monster who has lived for who knows how long.

Will he die?
Matou Kariya was the first one who didn't believe it.

Isn't Tōsaka Tokiomi amazing? Even though he deeply dislikes him, Matou Kariya cannot deny his accomplishments in magic.

However, if you compare him with the old man, Tōsaka Tokiomi's skills are simply not worth mentioning.

"The old man is dead?" Matou Kariya swallowed and asked, "How did he die?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

With a sneer, Jian Tong Jianchen had no intention of explaining at all.

He snapped his fingers, and a palm-sized butterfly instantly appeared.

Matou Kariya stared blankly at the mysterious and elegant butterfly as it flew in front of him and landed on his shoulder.

He immediately bent his waist and supported himself tightly on his knees with his hands to avoid falling to the ground.

The pain in his body made him break out in a cold sweat, and there was a voice in his ear that he could not ignore.

"Once you are a member of the Matou family, you will be a member of the Matou family forever. And our family just happens to be in need of a cook, so you should do your best."

“Don’t let me down, Kariya.”
