Chapter 278

And as you walk step by step, you discover that Ryougi Shiki on your back silently opens her eyes. "Who are you?" Ryougi Shiki asks you.

Hearing this, you don't put Ryougi Shiki down, but continue to carry her like this, walking step by step.

"Me? I am Lin Ye."

"You know, that's not what I'm asking. Why can't I see through you?"

"Is seeing through me important? You just need to know that I am not Ryougi Shiki's enemy."

"Not an enemy? Whatever, anyway... I won't be bored." Ryougi Shiki finishes speaking and closes her eyes again, and you feel that Ryougi Shiki's breathing has become steady once more.】

"That just now... was the Root Shiki."

Lin Ye sensed that something was wrong with the other party; that tone was definitely not Shiki, nor was it Shiki, so it could only be Root Shiki.

That woman who connects to the Root and sees through everything—she, however, cannot see through him?

Interesting.

However, it doesn't matter.

【February 17, 1995: Today is Ryougi Shiki's birthday. You give her a sword you crafted yourself. The level isn't high, only equivalent to a B-rank Noble Phantasm, but Ryougi Shiki likes it very much.

March 14, 1995: White Valentine's Day.

On this day, Ryougi Shiki pulls you aside and says to you,

"Seeing you looking like you're lacking sugar, I happen to have a piece of chocolate here. I don't like sweets, so I'll give it to you."

Doesn't like sweets? Do you know who the spokesperson for Haagen-Dazs is in Japan on Earth?

Although Lin Ye keeps complaining in his heart, he doesn't foolishly say this out loud. He smiles and accepts the gift Ryougi Shiki gave him, then says, "I like it very much, thank you."

"Don't thank me. Don't misunderstand, this is just obligation chocolate. Also, don't eat it while walking; find a quiet place to brew a cup of good tea and savor it slowly."

Ryougi Shiki leaves after saying this. Before leaving, she doesn't forget to instruct Lin Ye,

"Tell me your thoughts after you finish eating. Tell me clearly what tastes good and what doesn't, you know? I have my pride too; I don't mind giving you more perfect chocolate next year."

Ryougi Shiki runs away in a hurry after saying this, while Lin Ye silently opens the heart-shaped chocolate box and tastes it. "The taste... is surprisingly good!"】

Fun fact: according to the setting, Ryougi Shiki's cooking has always been number one in Type-Moon. That's right, even better than Emiya Shirou! It's just that she rarely cooks.

As for the other side, Ryougi Shiki's face secretly turns red, but she quickly suppresses this emotion. 【April 3, 1996: You are going to school. Today is the day you start high school. On the same day, you hear that someone was killed in Mifune City. For some reason, you feel very uneasy.

April 14, 1996: You officially start school. Because of your personality, almost no one in the class is willing to interact with you, but you don't care, because you know that at home, Lin Ye is always waiting for you.

April 18, 1996: Someone else is murdered. You discover that the victim's time of death coincides with the time you lost consciousness and went out. You start to suspect yourself.】

"Did I... kill someone? Or rather, did the other me? Kill someone?" ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
