Chapter 317: Priest and Nun

~13 min read 2,429 words

Seven years' time couldn't be called vicissitudes of life, but for Broly, who had come here years ago and stayed only a few days, Fuyuki City was still a strange modern metropolis.

"Where are we going?"

After flying quickly around this city aimlessly for a circle, Broly finally asked.

"Ah, shouldn't you have asked that earlier?"

Rin Tohsaka's girlish face showed surprise, then she began to retort.

"You only said to take you away, far from your father's observation range, but didn't say where to take you."

Broly defended himself.

"Indeed, that's correct……"

Rin Tohsaka pressed her hand on her hat, turned her head to look at the boy who had raised her, and couldn't help but smile a little more.

Seven years of separation, but the strangeness didn't seem to be much, as if they had recognized each other just not long ago.

"What are you laughing at?"

Broly was a little confused; Rin Tohsaka suddenly turned her head, smiling and looking at him, the meaning unclear.

"Nothing, just suddenly thought of something, uh, Broly, I ask you, if I let you follow me now, and I need to go to the toilet, will you follow me into the toilet?"

Rin Tohsaka asked.

"Sister, what kind of strange question is this?"

Beside them, Sakura listened confusedly and asked directly.

"If you need to go to the toilet and need me to follow, then I will go in together."

Broly didn't understand why Rin Tohsaka asked this question, but still honestly answered her strange question.

"Then what if I don't tell you, I need you to follow me to the toilet?"

Broly: "……"

Lifting little Sakura onto his shoulder, he freed one hand and touched Rin Tohsaka's forehead.

"What are you doing?"

Rin Tohsaka's forehead was touched by Broly's small hand; now it was her turn to be confused by the boy's behavior.

"I just want to know, are you sick?"

"I'm not sick."

"Not sick, why would you ask such a strange question?"

"Just say whether you will follow or not."

"I will wait outside the toilet."

"Well, you have much more common sense than when I knew you before."

Rin Tohsaka said confirmingly.

"So, Sister, you asked Broly Brother this question just to confirm he has more common sense than before."

Little Sakura asked.

"Something like that, but I want to know more how much he has changed compared to his past self."

Rin Tohsaka nodded, but then said.

"Then how much has he changed?"

Little Sakura asked curiously, wanting to know the difference between the boy in her sister's eyes now and the boy in her sister's eyes in the past.

"Not much, he is still the transfer classmate I know."

Rin Tohsaka said very certainly.

"Your change is quite big."

Broly said sincerely; compared to the past little Rin Tohsaka, the current Rin Tohsaka seemed to have a few more…… uh, Broly couldn't describe it well, but it was like a well-behaved child suddenly becoming mischievous, that kind of frivolous temperament.

"A girl changes eighteen times as she grows up!"

Rin Tohsaka said with a laugh.

"Sister, you're only fifteen, not eighteen yet."

Little Sakura retorted precisely.

"This is just a saying……"

Pausing, Rin Tohsaka suddenly asked the boy: "Broly, do you think I look better now than when I was young?"

"About the same."

Broly carefully lifted the other person to observe, then gave the answer.

"Compared to when I was young, I've changed so much now, how could it be about the same?"

Rin Tohsaka shouted with some dissatisfaction.

"Just about the same, at least your lecturing tone hasn't changed much."

Broly said seriously.

"Pfft~"

Little Sakura on his shoulder couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Rin Tohsaka, held in Broly's hand, turned red at a visible speed.

"So where exactly are we going, or are we just floating in the sky like this?"

Broly, lacking tact, asked again.

"To the Holy Church church in Fuyuki City; it's quieter there."

Rin Tohsaka said somewhat unhappily.

"Okay."

Broly nodded in reply and flew again.

But after flying a short distance, he immediately stopped again.

"What's wrong again?"

"Where is the Holy Church church again?"

Little Sakura covered her mouth and snickered, feeling that this kind of Brother Broly was very cute.

"Over there."

Rin Tohsaka's mouth corner twitched, and she pointed in a direction in the air.

Broly then brought the person and flew toward the direction the girl pointed.

However, he didn't dare fly too fast, after all, he still needed the girl to guide the way.

Inside the small chapel of the Holy Church, Fuyuki City branch, a vinyl record was slowly rotating, and from the large horn of the antique phonograph came an ethereal female humming sound, this was a classical piece named "Ave Maria," causing the entire chapel to fall into a somewhat ethereal state.

At the edge of the courtyard, the priest sitting in a wheelchair closed his eyes, just as his thoughts rose with the music into the high altitude, spread across the clouds, transformed into raindrops falling toward the ground, when a sudden gust of wind blew up within the courtyard.

The snow that had melted just two days ago had now become splashing accumulated water, ice cold hitting the priest's face, wetting his black priest's robe, and his somewhat naturally curly long hair.

Wiping the water from his face, the priest then looked toward the mastermind causing all this in the courtyard.

Rin Tohsaka, who had returned to the ground, had somewhat light footsteps, staggered a bit, and was supported by the boy before she stood steady.

And she likewise looked over this way, seeing the man's gaze, she asked a sentence: "Senior Brother, did you just take a shower?"

"Do I look like someone who just took a bath?"

The priest retorted, his gaze had already fallen on the boy beside the girl.

"I'll apologize to you on his behalf."

Rin Tohsaka said with both hands pressed together.

"No need, just get me a clean towel."

Rin Tohsaka ran to get a towel.

"Sorry, when descending just now, I didn't notice you."

Broly took the initiative to apologize.

The priest's breath before his eyes was very restrained, just about the same as a small rodent animal.

And breaths like this, there were many in perception, generally all ignored by him.

"It's nothing, speaking of which, have we met before?"

The priest asked.

"Met before?"

Broly frowned, carefully recalling the acquaintances of this world, but had no impression of the person before him.

"Sorry, I am someone who remembers few memories unrelated to myself, and haven't recalled an impression about you."

Broly shook his head, speaking very sincerely.

"It's nothing, back then we were just a passing acquaintance, it's just that my personal memory of you is relatively deep, hmm, please allow me to introduce myself.

I, Kirei Kotomine, am the priest currently presiding over the Holy Church in Fuyuki City, and at the same time am Rin Tohsaka's Senior Brother, once trained under her father for a period of time."

The priest in the wheelchair introduced himself.

"I am Broly, I am a Saiyan."

Broly also introduced himself.

"I don't know what your relationship with Rin is?"

Kirei Kotomine was somewhat curious.

"She is my wife."

Broly answered sincerely.

"Eh?"

Kirei Kotomine subconsciously exerted force with both hands, causing his body to lean forward slightly.

"I never heard her mention before that she already had a partner."

Broly hadn't spoken yet, when a towel rolled into a ball was thrown hard from the side, smashing onto the face of the priest man revealing 【I am very curious what kind of story is inside here】.

"This is my personal matter, please Senior Brother don't randomly inquire."

Rin Tohsaka then quickly walked over.

"Rin, throwing things hard, this is not something a Thousand Gold of a prestigious family should do."

Wiping his face with the towel, Kirei Kotomine then said.

"Inquiring into others' private matters is also not something a priest should do."

Rin Tohsaka retorted his words.

"Indeed, but please forgive my curiosity as one whose lower body is already paralyzed, all I can experience now are stories seen in books or heard from others' mouths."

"Nothing special, back then he saved my younger sister and me, now he is my fiance, it's that simple."

Rin Tohsaka said concisely.

"Does your father know about this?"

Kirei Kotomine curiously pursued asking.

"I didn't tell him, but I feel this kind of thing, he has no right to interfere with me."

Rin Tohsaka said.

"You're arguing with the teacher again?"

Kirei Kotomine asked instead.

"No."

The girl denied it.

"Then that means a quarrel happened."

The priest nodded.

Every time Rin Tohsaka came running over to this side, it was more or less for the same reason.

I remember last time, it was when she wanted to participate in a school club activity, but was rejected by the teacher.

The teacher believed she should devote more energy to magecraft training.

And the matter of gradually drifting apart from ordinary friends made this girl feel sad.

"Senior Brother, if you don't welcome me here, I'll go somewhere else."

"Alright, I won't lecture anymore."

"Borrowing the place for a bit, we need to chat."

"Go to the church's lounge, no one will disturb you there."

"Excuse the intrusion."

Little Sakura said a polite line, only then walking into the church.

"May I ask, what is your relationship with him?"

"Same as my sister."

The three went to the lounge; Kotomine Kirei sat by the courtyard for a while, felt his body somewhat cold, then pushed the wheelchair to the phonograph, stopping the phonograph.

Faint chatting voices came from the lounge; Kotomine Kirei's ears twitched, vaguely hearing some interesting adventure stories.

The boy seemed to have gone to other places for adventure these years, encountered many interesting people and interesting things, and was telling them to the two sisters Rin and Sakura.

However, the other party seemed to have some urgent matter; the story wasn't told for long, and he seemed to be preparing to leave.

"Creak—"

The church door was pushed open at this time.

"Father, why are you here, not in the courtyard listening to your soul-purifying music?"

A girl walked in from outside, came behind the priest, and asked.

"There are guests today."

Kotomine Kirei answered his daughter's question, and right then the lounge door next to them was opened.

"Wonder who came to visit, turns out it's Aunt Rin!"

The little girl in nun outfit held a supermarket convenience bag; upon seeing the people inside the lounge, she very politely greeted Rin Tohsaka.

"Little Karen, if you don't know how to address people, you can not address them; no one will treat you as a mute."

The moment the address 'Aunt' came out, Rin Tohsaka's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This is the priest's daughter."

Little Sakura introduced the girl's identity to Broly on the side.

"She is called……"

"Karen Ortensia."

Before Little Sakura could say the white-haired golden-eyed little nun's name, Broly had already spoken the other party's name a step ahead based on the Crystal Palace Panel's prompt information.

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, the surrounding people were somewhat surprised, all looking over at once.

The white-haired little nun herself also looked over.

Upon seeing the speaker was a seven-or-eight-year-old little boy, she asked: "This little brother, do you know me, big sister?"

Seven years ago, Karen Ortensia, who was taken back to her father's side, did not undergo the tempering of the original fate line monastery, making her more like a normal girl.

At least, her face now showed a puzzled expression.

"Didn't know before, but now that we've met, I know."

"You speak quite interestingly."

The little nun looked at Rin Tohsaka.

"Aunt Rin, is this your family's relative?"

She asked.

The next moment, her cheek was pinched by the girl who strode to her front.

"I said, don't call me Aunt."

"Wasn't it you who told me to call you that before? You're my father's junior fellow disciple, so naturally a generation above me; me calling you Aunt is proper."

"What I told you to call me is Big Sister, not some Aunt."

Only after Rin Tohsaka pinched the little nun's face red did she make the other party change her address to Big Sister.

"Big Sister, you should be gentler."

Little Sakura leaned over to help rub the little nun's reddened face, complaining a bit.

"Big Sister Sakura is so nice."

Karen Ortensia very much enjoyed the girl's hands helping rub her face.

Yet her actual age was two years younger than Little Sakura.

"If you'd just call me Big Sister without the Aunt address, you wouldn't get your face pinched."

"If I don't get my face pinched, then Big Sister Sakura wouldn't gently rub my face for me, right?"

Karen retorted a line.

At this, Sakura showed a somewhat helpless expression.

She and her sister both knew the priest's daughter, but for some reason Karen always liked to provoke her sister, yet was comparatively close to her.

"So, is this kid a relative of yours?"

Karen asked again.

"Not a relative."

Little Sakura denied.

"He is my Fiance; following your logic, you should address him as Uncle."

Rin Tohsaka teased from the Side.

Broly, suddenly gaining a generation: "..."

"So you're saying you've finally awakened the Shotacon Element, already committed the act of abducting a little boy, and are now preparing to take a further step and commit criminal Behavior against him?"

Karen took a Deep Breath and asked, yet had already taken out her phone, making preparations to call the Alarm.

Rin Tohsaka: "..."

"Ah, it's not like that; Broly Brother only looks small, but his Actual Age should be older than me."

After a round of Explanation, Karen came to recognize that this boy before her, who looked younger than herself, would unexpectedly, in all likelihood, be the future husband of the two older sisters she knew — that is, her brother-in-law.

"First Meeting; I am the nun Karen Ortensia of the Fuyuki Church, pleased to meet you."

The Little Nun became serious, holding her nun's skirt and bowing slightly to the boy, performing a very formal etiquette gesture, and introducing herself seriously.

"I am Broly; may I ask you a question?"

"Of Course, please ask."

"Are you Willing to Make Friends with me, with the end result of becoming my wife?"

"Huh?!" ×4
