Chapter 329
"My name is Kanata. I'm your classmate, in the same class as you."
Shiki Ryougi's words to the boy sounded somewhat like she was humoring a younger brother or sister role who innocently and radiantly declares they'll marry you when they grow up, but the girl's unfamiliarity with herself was truly hurtful.
【But now, this counts as getting to know Liang Yi Tong Xue, right?!】
Kanata took a deep breath, using an Ah Q-like spirit to comfort himself.
"It's getting late. I'm going home. I won't disturb Liang Yi Tong Xue and this Little Brother Broly any longer."
Kanata politely said this much, then actively left the Library.
"Strange person."
Shiki Ryougi watched the youth's departing back, evaluating with a sentence from her mouth.
Her Outer Personality would be influenced by the Inner Personality's Root-style.
If she hadn't encountered the even stranger Saiyan, the Root-style might have generated some interest in Kanata, an individual ordinary to the point of Abnormal.
But now……
"I still have large Conch, scallops, and Katsuo-simmered Kelp fresh Soup here."
Seeing the Outsider here leave, Broly also started Feeding the Kimono girl beside him; plate after plate of small Dishes were served, roughly one-third the amount of Fujimura Taiga's Bento.
Shiki Ryougi looked at the food before her, fell silent for a while, then asked: "So, you want me to eat these things right here in the Library for you to watch?"
"Not exactly. Just that if you finish eating now, it's easier for me to clean up the plates. But if you're not hungry yet, you can bring the food back Home to eat."
"With this much food, how do you expect me to carry it back?"
"I can carry them and go home with you."
Watching the boy's serious look, Shiki Ryougi Rubbed Temples.
"My Home is a ferocious Yakuza Family."
She threatened the boy.
"What a coincidence. Fujimura Nee-san's Family is the same, and I'm currently staying at her house. This food was also made by her house's cook Auntie; her Cooking skill is very Not Bad."
The boy's completely unafraid answer made Shiki Ryougi Stunned, then the girl's face showed a few shades of vexed annoyance.
If she brought this boy home, it might make her Family think she had Awakened some special fetish.
Although calling it her own fetish wasn't Wrong — Karen counts as another side of herself — if she could avoid Trouble, Shiki Ryougi still wanted to avoid Trouble.
Coincidentally, at this time, returning Home was actually Dinner time. Thinking it over, the Kimono girl started moving her chopsticks.
"How is it? Delicious?"
Broly rested his face on the table, watching Shiki Ryougi taste a bite of every Dish, then inquired.
"Mm, delicious. The saury is very Delicious, the Conch Meat is very chewy……"
Shiki Ryougi spoke the truth, just her facial Expression remained somewhat indifferent, not showing a Satisfied look from delicious food.
However, Broly didn't mind much, because on the Crystal Palace Panel, the Happiness Value of the girl named Shiki Ryougi had already begun to rise.
"What about the Katsuo Kelp Soup? That cook Auntie told me this Soup is one she's very Good At."
Broly looked at her with some Expectation.
"Sorry. Compared To hot Soup, I actually prefer cold drinks."
Shiki Ryougi drank a mouthful of hot Soup. The Taste was indeed very Delicious, but it wasn't what she liked.
"Okay, I've noted it down. Tomorrow I'll bring you cold drinks."
Broly nodded, then asked again.
"But what cold drink do you want?"
Feeding the wife also requires Technique. If one can Feed the wife food she likes to eat, it can better raise the Happiness Value on her.
Hearing the boy's inquiry, Shiki Ryougi Pondered a while, then said: "As Long As it's a cold drink, I can Accept any."
The Female Personality Shiki currently has no particular taste preference. She simply dislikes drinking liquids that would scald her Tongue.
"Good."
Broly nodded. After the Kimono girl finished Dinner, he cleaned up the Bowls Chopsticks.
"This Time, really, see you tomorrow."
Broly waved goodbye to Shiki Ryougi.
"See you tomorrow."
Shiki Ryougi also waved, seeing the boy step into the Corridor filled with Dusk Sunset light, his figure quickly disappearing at the Corner.
Saying goodbye to Fujimura Taiga, Broly also returned to Fuyuki City.
Evening. Just after eating, while using Water Creation Magic together with Little Sakura to help wash Bowls Chopsticks, with Karen watching curiously beside them, Rin Tohsaka came over.
The girl had already agreed with her Father at Noon to fund Aozaki Touko's research in Guanbu City, and had also taken a proper nap in the Afternoon.
"What is this Magecraft?"
At this moment, she, full of Spirit, looked at the two spraying water at a pile of Bowls Chopsticks plates, and couldn't help but ask.
"Nee-san, this is Water Creation Magic. Broly Gege taught me."
Little Sakura answered. Previously washing dishes was work; now it's more like a special game.
"This is Create Water Magic taught by Aqua Master. And in This World it can also be used normally. Rin, want to try learning?"
Broly asked.
"Okay, I'll try learning too."
Aqua's Magic, Rin Tohsaka was still interested. She agreed in One Sentence.
And her Talent, Forest Elf's Talent, differed not much from Little Sakura's.
Before long, the people spraying water at the washing sink went from Two People to three.
"Very interesting Trick. Feels quite Not Bad — something that can train Magic Power Manipulation Capability……"
After Rin Tohsaka learned Water Creation Magic and used it, she evaluated it based on her own experience of using it.
"Ilya, aren't you coming together?"
Immediately after, she looked at the Magic Doll girl beside her.
"I can't release it."
Ilya isn't unwilling to play with water together; it's just that after attempting to learn Water Creation Magic, she discovered she fundamentally couldn't release this magic at all.
Her Magic Doll body has no Magic Circuits, so she cannot smoothly use Magic Power to construct a Water Creation Magic Circle like Little Sakura and Rin Tohsaka.
Although Ilya has already comprehended Qi, she still cannot finely manipulate her own Qi like Broly, so she also cannot use Water Creation Magic by transforming Qi into Magic Power like the boy.
Therefore, she can only watch the three people playing in the water with some envy from the side.
"Don't worry, Father has already agreed to my funding that Doll Maker's matter; I believe your body will also be able to possess Magic Circuits in the future."
Rin Tohsaka comforted her with one sentence.
And the three people used Water Creation Magic together to rinse the bowls and chopsticks; with the assistance of other maids, they quickly finished washing all the pots, bowls, ladles, and basins the Fujimura Family needed to wash tonight.
"So, Sister, what do you plan by coming over tonight?"
Back in the room, Little Sakura looked at Rin Tohsaka who had brought a travel backpack, and couldn't help but ask.
"I've decided to temporarily come reside on this side."
Rin Tohsaka stated directly.
"Eh?"
Ilya was somewhat surprised.
"Don't be so surprised, okay? Although I said in the morning I was just accompanying you to play for a bit, I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to lose even when playing games, so I came over."
Broly is temporarily residing at the Fujimura Family; as the saying goes, 'near water, the pavilion gets the moon first' — Rin Tohsaka absolutely doesn't want to lose to Little Sister and Ilya because the time spent together is comparatively short.
"Then that means, Tohsaka Sister and us are also considered to be competing on the same starting line!"
Ilya blinked her eyes and said.
"Eh, then isn't that a bit unfair for Karen-chan?"
Because of Rin Tohsaka's reason, Little Sakura would also go to the Fuyuki Church side; Karen's relationship with her isn't bad; she counts as a Little Girl role.
"Little Sakura, the world is cruel; that guy is so smug, it's just right to let her experience what cruel failure is!"
Ilya still felt somewhat angry thinking of the morning's events, and in her view, that White-haired Little Nun is as good as defeated.
"Well, Ilya, don't calculate so much with a child; if Karen joins the Crystal Palace afterwards, she also counts as a Companion of the Same World as us."
"Haha, who wants to be companions with that guy?"
"Fine, even if not companions, but if she knows this showdown is unfair, she definitely won't be convinced afterwards, right?"
Pausing for a moment, Rin Tohsaka asked Little Sister: "Little Sakura, do you have confidence in winning against Karen in fair competition?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Little Sakura nodded, very confident.
"Look, even Little Sakura has this kind of confidence; do you not have confidence?"
"Ugh..."
Ilya frowned her little eyebrows and thought for a bit, only then slightly relaxing her attitude.
"Then fine, fair competition it is."
"Okay, since Ilya Sister has agreed to fair competition, then I'll contact Karen-chan right now."
Little Sakura took out her phone and directly dialed the Fuyuki Church's phone right there.
"Hey, Broly, I'm helping you this much; aren't you a little happy?"
While Little Sakura was making the call, Rin Tohsaka leaned over to the boy's side, bumped his little waist with her elbow, and said in a low voice.
"Eh, what did you help me with?"
Broly looked at the leaning girl with some doubt.
"Broly, you're still a blockhead; even Little Sakura is helping coordinate, only you didn't hear it out."
Rin Tohsaka covered her forehead; seeing the boy still looked somewhat bewildered, she started explaining.
"Now Ilya has been persuaded by me and Sakura to not reject fair competition; this way, Karen should also come over to temporarily reside here, and with more time staying together, wouldn't it also be convenient for you to raise the Happiness Value on her?"
"Hey hey hey, Tohsaka Sister, I'm still here, you just tell me like this that you and Little Sakura are coordinating; is that really okay?"
"What does it matter? You already agreed to fair competition, and besides, this is also good for Broly; he can thereby obtain more Happiness Points."
Play is play, noise is noise; the importance of Happiness Points, Rin Tohsaka still understands; she feels she should consider more for her family's little boy.
Of course, after considering, she mustn't do it silently; she must say it face-to-face, making the boy realize her goodness toward him.
See, on her Crystal Palace Panel here, the original Happiness Points value is now rapidly increasing.
Obviously, the practice of brushing the boy's favorability and moving him is also able to increase Happiness Points production.
Rin Tohsaka proved the conjecture with practice, and a 'plan succeeded' expression appeared on her face.
"Eh, go to your home? But I still have to take care of my Father..."
However, although Rin Tohsaka's conjecture of farming Happiness Points was verified successfully, the idea of making Karen also come to the Fujimura Family encountered a problem.
Inside the Fuyuki Church, the White-haired Little Nun who received Little Sakura's call and got the invitation revealed a troubled expression.
In the handset, Little Sakura explained to her the advantage situation of staying with Broly for a longer time to gain the boy's liking.
And although Karen also really wants to make Ilya eat dirt, unfortunately there's a crippled Father at home needing care; usually her mouth is a bit venomous, but actually she's still a filial little girl.
"Just a boring contest, just a guy I've only known for a few days; unless I'm crazy, it's impossible I'd abandon my Father to go shamelessly curry favor with that Broly Brother in Little Sakura Sister's mouth, to obtain so-called doting..."
Karen directly refused the invitation on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, Karen-chan you have your own difficulties too; but Ilya Sister isn't a Bad Person, both I and Sister hope you two can get along properly."
Just as Little Sakura was preparing to hang up the phone, a deep magnetic male voice sounded: "Wait a moment, Little Sakura, Karen will go."
"Eh?"
Unexpectedly hearing Kirei Kotomine's voice, little Sakura let out a somewhat surprised syllable.
"No, Father, you actually eavesdropped on us girls' conversation?"
Karen, after her surprise, questioned in a somewhat unkind tone.
"I merely heard the phone ring, picked it up to answer, and did not intentionally eavesdrop."
Kirei Kotomine indicated his innocence, then immediately spoke.
"Karen, while other children can normally go outside to play and frolic, young you had to shoulder the burden of caring for your crippled father's life.
For a long time, I have been a drag on you, and it is time for this situation to change as well.
My daughter, do not concern yourself with me any longer, bravely pursue your own happiness!"
Kirei Kotomine spoke these words with righteous conviction; judging by his words alone, one would think he is a good father who considers his daughter.
But in truth, he merely wants to watch the show — his daughter's show, Broly's show, cheap shimei's show, Kiritsugu Emiya and the other party's daughter's show.
"Little Sakura, my daughter Karen, I entrust her to your care for the time being."
Under Kirei Kotomine's insistence, Karen was decided to go stay at the Fujimura Family temporarily.
"Bang—"
The phone was hung up, and the lounge door was soon pushed open forcefully from outside.
"My scum father, what exactly do you mean?"
Karen burst in with a menacing aura, complexion unpleasant.
"My daughter, the most painful thing in my life is having to spend the latter half of it in a wheelchair; my hatred for that Magus Killer has already exceeded everything.
However, I also know that we father and daughter are powerless against him, so the only effective revenge we can carry out must be entrusted to you.
I know you want to take good care of me, but compared to being taken care of, I hope more that you can take revenge on our enemy.
Steal that guy's daughter's happiness, to let my daughter gain happiness — this is my revenge plan..."
The moment the door was pushed open forcefully, Kirei Kotomine's face seamlessly switched from a tax-evader expression to a pained expression; he channeled a Film Emperor, striking first, and spoke thus to the daughter who burst in.
And this directly caused the white-haired little nun who came in wanting to question what was majorly wrong with him to freeze up.
"Karen, can I entrust the hope of revenge to you?"
The white-haired little nun felt something was off, but in this solemn situation, she also could not refuse her father's expectation.
"Yes, I will definitely help you take revenge, even though you're scum, but who made me the daughter of this scum father of yours?"
"Thank you."
Kirei Kotomine embraced his daughter, seemingly somewhat moved by his daughter's promise, but where his daughter could not see, his face was full of delight.
【His daughter, instilled with revenge conviction by himself, will likely have no small friction with Kiritsugu Emiya's daughter, and that boy who once defeated the King of Heroes, might perhaps feel a headache because of his own maneuver...】
Thinking that his already crippled self could actually still create this much trouble for others, delight involuntarily rose from the bottom of his heart.
【After daughter leaves, I'll open a bottle of red wine to celebrate!】
Kirei Kotomine thought.
