Chapter 66: Brother and sister Ichigo’s bath in the hot spring
Matou family, back house.

The hot spring pool is surrounded by high-quality wooden boards, the name of which Jianchen Matou cannot remember.

The reason why it is said to be the best is because of the light woody fragrance that fills the entire bathing area.

The hot spring pool has also been carefully decorated.

All around are stones of an ancient gray color. Although they cannot be named, one can tell from their gloss and texture that they are also very expensive.

Jianchen Matou was in the hot spring pool, the warm water soothing his body.

The fatigue caused by the simulator transferring memories was slightly relieved.

A small blue-purple butterfly flew in from the open air of the hot spring pool and disappeared after touching Kenshin Matou's brain.

He frowned slightly and leaned lightly against the wooden board that separated him from Sakura.

There was the sound of water splashing over Sakura's side, probably she was washing her body.

Jianchen Matou rubbed his temples with both hands. The fatigue in his heart had just been washed away by the hot spring water, but new fatigue arose from his heart again.

“That guy Matou Kariya…”

He smiled, somewhat speechless.

Well, his good-for-nothing uncle is a little bit stupid.

But when it comes to matters concerning Toosaka Aoi, it seems that she has put all her energy into it, and occasionally her IQ will make some breakthroughs.

only……

Just like Matou Zouken could eat him to death, Matou Kenshin, the seventh-generation head of the Matou family who killed Matou Zouken, had no reason why he could not control his stupid uncle.

"Really."

Jianchen Jianchen felt a little helpless.

He just wanted to find a servant who knew him well, but who would have thought that this servant would be so troublesome.

With the wealth of the Matou family, it would be enough to recruit a hundred nannies from the job market.

But Jianchen Matou was worried.

This kind of worry is not only due to paranoia, but also because of the fear that Kiritsugu Emiya is doing something.

There are many inexplicable reasons.

The first point is that as a time traveler, he has a unique sense of security.

This sense of security comes from his memories of past lives, from his understanding of the living people in this world, and from his understanding of their lives as seen from a God's perspective.

It is because of this understanding that

Kenshin Matou can give his true heart to Miss Rin and Sakura without fear of being hurt.

It is because of this understanding that

Only then can he open his heart without reservation and love completely.

It is because of this understanding that

That's why he chose to call back Matou Kariya and make him a servant of the Matou family.

Because of understanding, we feel at ease.

Another reason comes from the simulator.

The ability to "see" the next ten steps by taking one step is a guarantee that cannot be ignored.

But while this convenience brings a sense of security, it also makes the real Jianchen Matou hesitate.

Nothing will go wrong in the simulator. No matter how big a disaster you cause, you will just receive painful memories and then start over again with another option.

Trial and error in the simulator,
It was a bit too much for Kenshin Matou to bear, as he was walking on thin ice in the real world.

Reality is not a simulator. If you take a wrong step, the end will come.

He has too many things that he cannot give up, and these things undoubtedly make him more indecisive.

He was afraid, he was very afraid.

In the simulator, being killed by Emiya Kiritsugu is nothing.

At most, I can curse Emiya Kiritsugu in my heart, and then I can change the option next time.

But in reality, he was shot in the head by Emiya Kiritsugu.
that,
It's all over.

There is no option to start over, and there will be no rebirth. Once dead, you are truly dead.

"Ugh…"

Life is endless, the owner sighed.

"Should we find a chance to let Matou Kariya see Tōsaka Aoi's despair...?"

Jianchen Jiantong thought about it and rejected it.

Not to mention that Tousaka Aoi is very charming, just the fact that he is Sakura's brother makes him unable to do this. He doesn't allow himself to do anything that will make Sakura sad.

"Besides, although Matou Kariya is an idiot, for the sake of Tōsaka Aoi's safety, he probably won't do anything strange in the short term."

Matou Kenshin had just relaxed a little, but was troubled by Matou Kariya's affairs again.

Lying on the rock warmed by the warm spring water, squinting my eyes, my thoughts drifted around with the hot white steam.

He fell asleep.

·
"Brother, brother?"

When I woke up again, I saw Sakura with a look of panic on her face.

"What's wrong? Sakura."

Kenshin Matou, who had just woken up, was still dazed and didn't notice Sakura's panic.

"Brother, brother, Ying... Ying thought something happened to you!"

After taking a shower, I soaked in the hot spring for a while.

Sakura felt that the time was almost up, so she started calling out to her brother, but received no response.

She began to raise her voice.
However, Jianchen Matou, who fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion, was unable to wake up.

Thinking that something bad had happened to her brother, Sakura put on a bathrobe and rushed across the wooden board.

Caught my brother who was sleeping.

at this time,

Looking at her confused brother, Ying realized that she was worrying too much.

Her face was red, she felt shy and embarrassed, but more of a loss.

"Am I asleep?"

He ignored Sakura's tight grip on his arm.

After waking up, Jianchen Matou rubbed his forehead. His head felt a little swollen.

"Ying, why are you here? Oh, it's time for breakfast..."

"……"cherry.

"Yes, I'm here to call you to have breakfast. Grandpa Liu and Uncle Yanye are waiting for you."

Little Sakura, in order to hide her embarrassment, lied to her brother for the first time.

"Um…"

Matou Kenshin frowned, "Ying, why is your face so red?"

Jianchen Matou, who had become slightly more sober, realized that something was wrong.

He lowered his head and saw his bare, fair upper body and shorts on his lower body.

——Very normal outfit for taking a hot spring bath.

The eight-year-old Kenshin Matou had no muscles on his bare upper body, let alone any male hormones.

For children of this age, there is basically no difference between boys and girls.

Sakura, of course, wouldn't blush because of this.

and many more,

Jianchen Matou discovered the blind spot.

"Ying!" His voice was a little harsh and full of anger.

"elder brother…"

Sakura, thinking she was going to be scolded, lowered her head.

"Why did you come here with your clothes on? No, no... I mean..."

Realizing that his words were somewhat ambiguous, Jianchen Matou hurriedly changed his words, but for a moment he didn't know how to say it.

Seeing my brother in a panic,
Sakura knew why her brother was angry and smiled:

"I know, brother. I'll go change my clothes right away."

As she spoke, Sakura, whose bathrobe was completely soaked by the hot spring, slowly climbed up to the shore.

Dragging her wet clothes, she left the hot spring pool under the watchful eyes of Matou Kenshin.

Jianchen Jianchen was a little confused.

After being in a daze for a long time, he finally remembered that he and his sister had not had breakfast yet.
