Chapter 284: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 129

Although the old bug is also a monster, it's all Shi Chen's fault!

Li Ang said nothing more, simply bringing Kinoshita Sakura back to her bedroom.

After watching the little girl close her eyes, he returned to the basement to study the data in Kinoshita Zangyan's mind.

The Kinoshita family's magical attribute is water; after conducting a simple test based on the old bug's methods, Li Ang arrived at his answer.

Origin attribute: 【Infinite】.

Manifestation:

He can learn any type of magic, including others' origin attributes.

".?"

Li Ang's face showed rare surprise, for he had expected his own attribute to be fire, wind, or something similar.

But he quickly regained his composure.

After all, he'd been transmigrated for so long—what great storms hadn't he seen? It was merely a peculiar origin attribute.

After calming his emotions slightly, Li Ang resumed studying the materials kindly provided by Kinoshita Zangyan.

To be honest, most of the insect magic there was useless to him, unless he could acquire a Hive Sovereign in the main world.

What truly mattered was the planning regarding the Holy Grail War's Servant system.

"Interesting. Maybe I can summon a Throne of Heroes myself someday."

Thinking of this, Li Ang once again thanked Kinoshita Zangyan.

Old bug, you died well!

……

Morning.

Sunlight streamed through the window onto the soft bed, and the girl with purple hair slowly opened her eyes.

She felt as if she'd had a deeply false dream.

After dressing, the girl pushed open the door and saw the maid cleaning.

Maid?

Seeing the maid's spherical joints, the girl closed the door and walked downstairs.

"Awake? Come have breakfast."

Not a dream.

Watching the young man at the table, reading a book while eating breakfast, the girl silently sat down beside him.

Seeing Kinoshita Sakura still silent, Li Ang decided to speak plainly: "I'm busy. You can do whatever you want. Use any of these puppets in the house—just don't disturb me."

"Or do you want to return to the Tohsaka household? I can tell Shi Chen."

Li Ang didn't mind revealing his presence—after all, all four War's Servants combined couldn't defeat him.

In response to his question, Kinoshita Sakura gave a slight shake of her head.

Seeing this, Li Ang said nothing more, merely lowering his head to continue reading the book he'd taken from the old bug's study.

Just then, the doorbell rang urgently.

As the maid puppet opened the door, a visibly worn-down man rushed into the Kinoshita residence, now occupied by Li Ang.

"Sakura? Sakura? Are you alright?!"

The man shouted as he found his way to the dining room.

Holy shit, a turtle!

The moment Li Ang saw the man, he recognized him immediately.

Winter Woods' greatest romantic, Kinoshita Enya.

In the original plot, even though the woman he loved was taken by Tohsaka Shi Chen, he still willingly gave his life for her child—Kinoshita Sakura.

Though in the end, nothing changed at all.

"Do you want to go with him?"

Ignoring Kinoshita Enya, Li Ang asked Kinoshita Sakura without looking up.

Hearing this, Kinoshita Sakura shook her head slightly.

"Throw him out."

As the bizarre puppet in maid attire gripped him on either side, Kinoshita Enya's face twisted with panic: "Sakura—"

Seeing the girl still ignore him, he turned to Li Ang: "This is the Kinoshita residence! Don't you fear I'll call the police?!"

?

Li Ang was amused; he waved his hand, signaling the puppets to drag the man away quickly.

Soon, the dining room fell silent again.

After finishing breakfast, Li Ang tossed out "Have fun yourself" and retreated to the old bug's study to continue studying his legacy.

Unfortunately, he hadn't expected an unwelcome guest to show up that afternoon.

It wasn't the police Kinoshita Enya had mentioned, but

Tohsaka Shi Chen.

After taking a light sip of the tea brought by the maid puppet, the elegant middle-aged man asked: "Where is Zangyan?"

"The Kinoshita head is away on business. I've been entrusted to tutor Sakura during this time."

Li Ang made up an excuse offhand, not expecting the World's Greatest Culprit to believe him.

Hearing this, Tohsaka Shi Chen silently observed Li Ang's right eye, then glanced at the maid puppet standing nearby, and let out a light laugh: "I didn't know Zangyan had such connections. I'll leave my daughter in your care for now."

?

What the hell did this guy just imagine?

Li Ang did not know that, to Tohsaka Tokiomi, the young man's right eye was not only an expensive Magic Eye but also accompanied by a homunculus he had never seen before.

From just these two points, the head of the Tohsaka family had already made what he considered a reasonable judgment.

That Li Ang was certainly an heir of some ancient magical family.

Perhaps even the current head.

He reached this conclusion because since stepping into the Matou residence, Tohsaka Tokiomi had faintly sensed a threat.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man said with a hint of apology: "I hope Yenye hasn't disturbed you—I apologize on his behalf."

"It's fine. I'm not going to hold a grudge against him."

Hearing Li Ang's words, Tohsaka Tokiomi nodded slightly: "You truly have a broad heart."

"Then I won't trouble you further."

With that, he rose to his feet and prepared to leave the Matou residence.

After seeing off this pot-king, Li Ang's face betrayed a wry smile.

Though he concealed it well, Li Ang had still seen the red sigil on the back of his right hand through his Reincarnation Eye.

'Command Spell.'

'Has the Servant Summoning Ritual already begun?'

As Li Ang pondered this, a searing pain suddenly flared in his right hand.

He lifted his hand and saw, on the back of his right palm, a mark of omen had appeared without warning.

'So there's a slot for me too?'

Though surprised, Li Ang quickly accepted the fact—he had intended to interfere in the Holy Grail War from the start.

The only thing now that intrigued him was what Servant he would summon.

With a peculiar feeling, Li Ang immediately headed toward the basement.

The old worm had long prepared the materials for the Servant Summoning, and the ritual's details he had learned from the man's memories.

All I can say is, Matou Zangyan is still c'ing even in death—he really is, I'm crying.

Edict of Self-Blame

I can't do it anymore.

Really can't write anymore, tomorrow for sure, tomorrow for sure.
