Chapter 53: Lies won’t hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife
"Ah…"

A scornful laugh.

Kenshin Matou did not hide his ridicule of his stupid uncle.

"Give up your life? Do you think your life is important enough to give you unrivaled power and change everything?"

"If your life is really so valuable, why didn't you sacrifice it when you competed with Tōsaka Tokiomi?"

It seems that he thought of something,
Jianchen Jianchen continued:
"Oh."

"Did you also give up your life and everything at that time just to win the favor of Zenjo Aoi?"

"only……"

"You gave up everything, my foolish uncle, but in the end you still couldn't compete with the people of the Tohsaka family."

Of all the weapons in the world, only the past can hurt people the most.

Every word that Jianchen Jianchen said pierced his cheap uncle's heart.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

What Matou Kenshin was doing now was to cut Matou Kariya's flesh piece by piece, making him bleed and suffer.

He had no grudge against Matou Kariya, he just simply disliked him.

Each knife pierces my heart, each word cuts into my heart.

Matou Kariya was in unbearable pain.

"you you……"

He pointed at Jianchen Matou, who had to lower his head to look at him, and was speechless.

Jianchen Matou frowned when he was pointed at.

"Kneel down."

"What?" Matou Kariya didn't hear clearly.

"I say, kneel down."

Matou Kenshin repeated it.

This time, Matou Kariya heard it clearly, but he obviously had no intention of obeying.

In the Matou family, he is the elder.

In this big world, how can there be an uncle who, as an elder, bows to the younger?
"Snap." A crisp sound.

Matou Kenshin snapped his fingers.

Before Matou Kariya could react, he felt a pressure beside his shoulder.

He fell to his knees uncontrollably.

My knees were pressed tightly against the ground and I felt a sharp pain.

Matou Kariya's face was filled with pain. He looked towards the place where gravity came from on his shoulder, and saw a small blue-purple butterfly flapping its wings.

Matou Kariya, who was born into a family of magicians, is naturally knowledgeable.

"magic?"

"How do you know magic? No, how good is your magic..."

Matou Kirei, who has very low talent and was raised by Matou Kenshin after he was born, cannot believe it.

How could an eight-year-old child have this level of magic?

"I," without answering his question, Jianchen Jianchen pointed at himself, "I am the seventh generation head of the Jiantong family."

then,

He pointed at Matou Kariya, who was kneeling on the ground with his eyes level with hiss, and continued:

"You are from the Matou family. Now is the time when the Matou family needs you."

For a moment, the young Matou Kenshin reminded Matou Kariya of the old bug's fear.

"Where's Matou Zouken?"

Matou Kariya asked, he knew who the real owner of the Matou family was.

"died."

Jianchen Matou said calmly.

"died!"

Matou Kariya seemed incredulous, but then he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Did anyone kill him?"

"I killed him."

"What? You?"

Looking at Jianchen Matou who looked calm and seemed to be talking about ordinary things, Jianchen Matou was shocked more times today than he was in a year.

"You said you killed the old bug?"

"Is there anything wrong, my stupid uncle? I have already explained to you that I am the seventh generation head of the Matou family. If your memory is really too poor, I don't mind helping you remember it better."

Looking at Matou Kariya who seemed unable to accept the reality, Matou Kenshin said coldly:

"For example, Tousaka Aoi."

He said no more, he knew that as long as he said this name, Matou Kariya would understand.

As expected.

Toosaka Aoi's name is like a switch.

As soon as Matou Kenshin's words came out of his mouth, Matou Kariya seemed to have suddenly grown a brain.

His expression was calm, and he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

This kind of repression is superficial and has no disguise at all.

But Jianchen Matou was very satisfied, because he knew that it was not easy for Matou Kariya to do this.

"What exactly do you want to do? What is the purpose of calling me here, Jian Tongjianchen?"

"Ugh…"

Looking at his stupid and useless uncle, Kenshin Matou was worried about the bloodline of the Matou family.

Compare with his contemporary Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Think about the twin pearls of the Tousaka family, Tousaka Rin and Tousaka Sakura. The Matou family is really not inferior to them in any way.

Fortunately, he, Jianchen Jianchen, came.

He, Jianchen Matou, became the seventh head of the Matou family.

The glory of the Matou family will once again shine in Fuyuki City!

"My stupid uncle."

Matou Kenshin sighed:

"I thought you would raise this question when we first met as uncle and nephew."

"But who would have thought that as soon as we met, you would start to act stupid and talk about irrelevant things. If I hadn't mentioned that woman, Toosaka Aoi, would you have continued to vent your middle-aged man's decadence?"

Lower your head,
Matou Kariya, who was being educated by a junior in the tone of an elder, looked very unhappy.

But he didn't raise his head, nor did he refute, nor did he speak.

Although a bit disrespectful,
But Toosaka Aoi is like a dog chain that can easily chain the dog named Matou Kariya.

"My purpose in calling you here is simple. Raise your head."

Hearing the words, Matou Kariya raised his head with a grim look on his face. He tried hard to control his expression, but was still replaced by shock.

"This is……"

Looking at the red rune on the back of Jianchen Matou's hand.

Matou Kariya was stunned:
"You, you were chosen by the Holy Grail!"

"Ah."

Jian Tong Jianchen nodded:
"As you can see, my stupid uncle, I am currently participating in the Holy Grail War and I don't have much free time on weekdays. Therefore, the Matou family needs your help now."

"What do you need me to do?"

Matou Kariya knows that he cannot resist Matou Kenshin at his level, so he is very honest.

The show of power from Kenshin Matou, coupled with the threat from Aoi Toosaka, was quite effective.

I was very satisfied with Matou Kariya’s answer.

Jianchen Matou walked to the door of the lobby, and the mottled sunlight appeared irregularly on the ground.

He looked up. It was already noon and the bright sunlight was blinding.

"It's already noon."

He sighed and removed the gravity applied to Matou Kariya.

Two blue-purple butterflies that seemed to weigh thousands of pounds flapped their wings and left Matou Kariya's shoulders.

Matou Kariya stood up, and instead of rubbing his knee that had hit the ground violently, he rubbed his shoulders first.

Looking at the butterfly dancing in the air, Matou Kariya, who knew the weight of the butterfly, couldn't help but admire it again even though he knew the magic.

He looked at the head of the Matou family with a heavy heart as he stood in front of the door and tried to catch the sunlight with his hands.

Just listen to him say:
"Go cook first, Kariya."
