Cunning, cruel, with a strange obsession with survival, in order to prolong life, he can use others and sacrifice to the end.

Using rhetoric to push people around and gradually approach his goal, he used to seem to be a person with lofty aspirations, but that ideal has long since disappeared from the spirit of Matou Zouken.

Hating the decaying soul and decaying body, and not wanting to achieve nothing, the four districts turned into obsession over time.

He turns himself into a bug and parasitizes others to prolong his life. His body is no different from that of a monster, so he doesn't like sunlight and usually hides in dark places.

Bald, four limbs as thin as a mummy, hale and hearty in the deep-set eye sockets, a short hunchback, unusual in appearance and behavior, dressed in a blue and dark gray kimono, with a wooden cane in his right hand.

When walking slowly towards Cu Chulainn, he was accompanied by an unpleasant rancid smell.

"Heh, my Master wants your life, so, as his knight, of course I must fulfill my loyalty."

As soon as Cu Chulainn's voice fell, a scarlet spear pierced the air, piercing towards the sharply shrinking pupil...

------------------

Three days later, Shenshan Town.

At noon on the rest day, the warm sunshine shone on the lawn, and the smiling faces of children playing and chasing and adults smiling and guarding the children came into view.

The park plaza surrounding the fountain is loved by the general public as a place where the whole family can play together and find peace of mind.

A man named Kariya Matou is waiting for a woman to appear at this moment.

Chapter 12 Tohsaka Aoi (Second more!)

He has self-confidence, no matter what kind of crowd he is in, no matter how far away he is, even if he hasn't seen her for almost a month, he is almost like a stranger...

He is confident that he can immediately and easily find the "only" woman for him from the crowd.

Matou Kariya walked to the woman who was enjoying the shade under the tree, and the woman finally realized his visit.

"Hi, Aoi!"

With a cute and dignified smile on the corner of her mouth, Aoi Tohsaka raised her eyes from the book she was reading.

"Ah, Kariya, long time no see."

Aoi Tohsaka had a haggard look on her face, as if she had experienced something unsettling and was now feeling sad because of it.

Matou Kariya, who was aware of this, wanted to ask her why immediately, but wanted to do his part for her no matter what it was, and wanted to solve the source of her pain.

But even if there is such an impulse, it is impossible for Matou Kariya, he and this woman are not close enough to help her without any scruples.

"We haven't seen each other for three months. This business trip is really long."

"Ah... well, yes."

In sleep, in gentle dreams, her smile will definitely appear, but once he sees the smile in reality, he doesn't have the courage to face it directly.

It has been like this for the past eight years, and I am afraid it will continue in the future, forever, and I will never be able to face this smile directly.

The person who made Matou Kariya timid to such an extent didn't know what topic to start as soon as he finished the initial greetings, and there was a wonderful blank time, which happened every time.

In order not to let it turn into an embarrassing silence, he started looking for someone who could speak casually.

over there--

That girl was mingling with other children on the lawn, chasing and playing there energetically. Although she was very young, she had already begun to show the beauty inherited from her mother.

"Little Rin."

Hearing this call, the little girl named Rin immediately noticed it, and when she saw the source of the sound, she immediately had a smile on her face.

"Uncle Kariya, you're back! Did you buy me another present?"

"Rin, you child, you are too impolite..."

The young child didn't seem to notice the embarrassing voice and expression of his mother Aoi Tohsaka at all. Facing Rin's big eyes shining with anticipation, Kariya also responded with a smile, and took out the gift from the two hidden gifts. One.

"Wow, so beautiful..."

The exquisite brooch made of large and small glass beads immediately made the little girl named Tohsaka Rin smile with joy.

Although considering her age, this gift seemed a little premature, but Kariya knew very well that Rin had an aesthetic taste beyond her age.

"Uncle Kariya, thank you so much for giving me presents every time. I will cherish this."

"Haha, as long as you like it, uncle is also very happy."

Kariya answered with a smile while searching for another gift recipient.

But for some reason, no matter how Kariya looked around, he couldn't find him anywhere in the park.

"Strange... where did Sakura go?"

As soon as he heard Kariya's question, Rin's smile immediately became very hollow.

It was the expression of despair and stagnant thinking unique to children when they had to accept the incomprehensible reality.

"Sakura...is no longer here."

With stiff and empty eyes, Rin said this sentence bluntly as if he was reciting a line, as if refusing to answer any questions Kariya wanted to ask after that, and ran back to the children who were playing together just now.

"..."

In response to Rin's incomprehensible answer, Kariya turned his gaze to Rin's mother Aoi Tohsaka, and asked with puzzled eyes.
