Chapter 96: Well, the boy is teachable
[With your help, Kenneth successfully returned to the Clock Tower.]

[At this moment, you have two Servants, which gives you a huge advantage. Facing the Holy Grail War where victory seems within your grasp, you choose...]

[1. Play steadily and carefully; 2. Go for it, just go for it; 3. Be happy, have a feast for the king; 4. Free simulation. ]

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The bright moonlight shone through the window and onto the outstretched hand of Jianchen Matou.

He turned his palms, his eyes empty.

[Because the simulation time is too long, considering the host's life safety, whether to accept some memories in advance. 】

【whether】

On the simulator panel, there are options as usual.

Jianchen Matou was not in a hurry to make a choice.

He gently lifted the quilt, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and opened the window.

Without the cover of curtains, the dazzling moonlight appears even brighter.

The cold wind of early winter blew into the room, but Jianchen Jiantong didn't blow it for long before closing the window.

The cold wind eased his tired mind.

He walked to Sakura's bed, looked at his sister's sleeping face, and listened to her even breathing, only then did he completely come to his senses.

Although he had not yet accepted the memories in the simulator, fatigue had already set in.

"call…"

The process was difficult, but fortunately the result was good.

Looking at his sister's peaceful sleeping face, Jian Tong Jianchen did not sigh, but forced a smile.

"Don't worry, Ying. It won't be long before your brother will give you a bright, happy and stable future."

After tucking in the quilt for Sakura, Kenshin Matou lay back on his own bed.

"Yes." He chose.

The feeling of my brain churning in a washing machine came over me, my familiar body tensed, my familiar body relaxed.

Jianchen Matou fell asleep.

……

……

The next day.

Little Sakura woke up early and lay down beside her brother's bed.

Do not know why,

Even though her brother is only one year older than her, Xiaoying feels that she often sees the shadow of her father in her brother.

He is not the usual shadow of his father. On weekdays, his brother is much gentler than his father.

It's that kind of depressed feeling after a failed magic experiment.

Little Sakura doesn't understand her brother's thoughts, but she wants to do something for him.

This time, she did not wait patiently for her brother to wake up.

Instead, he carefully put on his shoes and quietly walked out of the room.

“Uncle Kariya.”

Little Sakura was a little embarrassed, she didn't expect that Uncle Kariya would be busy in the kitchen so early.

"Sakura."

Matou Kariya, who did not see his nephew but only saw little Sakura, smiled warmly.

Compared to his own nephew, the "little old thing", Matou Kariya still has a better impression of Aoi's daughter, Sakura.

"Are you hungry, Sakura? Don't worry, breakfast will be ready soon."

At such an early hour, it was natural for Matou Kariya to think that Sakura was hungry after waking up, so she came to the kitchen to find something to eat.

What he didn't expect was that Sakura shook her head, and the two hair ties in her hair swayed together.

“No, Uncle Kariya.”

Ying lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I, I wanted to make some breakfast as a surprise for my brother."

Galen whispered, his silence breaking his guard.

The smile on Matou Kariya's face became a little stiff, and his happy mood disappeared.

Even though Sakura is still a child, her feelings are pure.

However, it still hurt the middle-aged single man Matou Kirei.

Sakura is the daughter of Tousaka Aoi, so naturally she has some similarities with her mother, not to mention in the eyes of Matou Kariya. So,
Listening to Sakura's words at this moment, Matou Kariya, the loser in life, thought of bad memories.

Many years ago, Aoi would also make breakfast for the man she liked.

——That man is not him.

This is a sad story.

"Breakfast is ready. If Sakura wants to make it, let's do it tomorrow."

The defenseless Matou Kariya politely rejected Sakura.

Little Sakura lowered her head, looking very lost.

"Really, Sakura."

A small hand patted little Sakura on the head.

Matou Kenshin first ruffled Sakura's hair, which she had managed with great difficulty, before continuing:
"Asking your beloved sister to make breakfast is not what a good brother should do."

"……elder brother?"

Little Sakura was both surprised and shy to see Kenshin Matou.

"Alright, Yanye, you can take the prepared meal out now."

As gentle as his tone was towards Sakura-chan, as cold as his tone was towards Matou Kariya.

Having received the order, Matou Kariya naturally did not dare to disobey.

He obediently took the plate and left the kitchen.

"Come on, Ying," he held Ying's hand and walked to the stove, "Brother will show you a few tricks."

For a moment, Jianchen Matou, who had just woken up, was full of heroic spirit.

In his imagination, Xiao Xiaoying's eyes should have turned into stars at this moment.

He glanced at the surrounding food, and his face immediately fell half-collapsed. The reason why he fell half-collapsed was because he was holding back.

You can’t embarrass yourself in front of your sister!!!

"hiss…"

Jianchen Jiantong felt a little annoyed.

Although his talent in cooking is catastrophic, but...

He still has two unique skills.

Unfortunately, the kitchen currently does not have the ingredients he needs.

Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice, right?
Thinking of this, Jianchen Jianchen felt much better.

"Ahem, I just remembered that I still have some things to discuss with Uncle Liu today. Next time, next time, I will definitely give Ying Lu a hand."

After a brief explanation, Kenshin Matou walked in front of Sakura and pulled her towards the restaurant.

On the way, Xiaoying didn't say anything.

But Jianchen Matou felt as if his face was burning.

This was an emotion that did not appear when he faced Gilgamesh.

“Matou Kariya!”

In an instant, Jianchen Jianchen found someone to take the blame.

If the ingredients prepared by Matou Kariya had not been incomplete, would he have been so embarrassed?
If this isn't Matou Kariya's fault, who else can I blame?

Thinking of this, Kenshin Matou came to the restaurant holding little Sakura's hand and cast a deathly gaze on his cheap uncle, who was actually his servant.

Matou Kariya, who was eating, choked immediately.

"Cough cough cough..."

After patting his chest repeatedly and drinking a glass of milk, Matou Kariya finally calmed down.

He looked at his nephew in confusion, and retreated in defeat under his nephew's gaze.

In the end, I could only lower my head and look at the food on the plate.

Only then did Kenshin Matou nodded in satisfaction, took Sakura to their seats, and started their first meal of the day.

I have to say that Matou Kariya has put in a lot of effort.

At least, today's breakfast tastes better than yesterday's.

"Well, children can be taught."

The eight-year-old Jianchen Matou had such thoughts about the decadent middle-aged uncle.
