Crown Dead

"I asked others to help make the potion that can remove the bugs in Matou Sakura's body. In fact, I gave her the potion that can block the insect's perception last night."

"Why do you carry this kind of thing with you... Besides, the strange smell in the house from the beginning—"

"Ah, that's just a mosquito coil. By the way, it's actually quite useful."

"..."

Matou Kariya looked at Xianyu speechlessly, then turned his head to look at Sakura, Sakura in her arms seemed to have put down her guard against Xianyu, and nodded slightly.

"--ok, I get it."

Matou Kariya sighed, got up and picked up the plastic bag in front of the door and walked to the kitchen, it seemed that he brought breakfast.

"Is there any problem? Choose to trust someone with unknown background like me." Xian Yu sat beside Xiao Ying and asked.

"Yeah, big brother...although it's a bit strange, but...it didn't hurt me."

"That's it, I understand. It may hurt a little, so bear with it a little bit."

Xianyu took off the needle tube of one of the reagents, pointed it lightly at Sakura's slender arm, and injected the medicine along the blood vessel.

Sakura frowned tightly, biting her lips with her teeth to keep herself from making a sound.

"If you feel pain, you don't need to be patient."

Xianyu thought of Asakami Fujino.In a sense, she is somewhat similar to Sakura.

One is a 'doll' who has gradually lost emotion because of the lack of pain

One is a 'doll' who has closed his heart because he has been suffering from severe pain

So what are you?A 'doll' that can feel pain but not death?

The potion took effect, Xiao Ying fell into a deep sleep again, and Xian Yu also gave up meaningless thinking.

Chapter 15. The night of summoning......

Ten minutes after Sakura fell asleep, Matou Kariya returned to the bedroom with a simple meal for three.When he saw Xiao Sakura sleeping peacefully in bed, his expression finally relaxed a lot.

"So what are you going to do next? The old bug didn't suspect me, and he seemed to want to hide the fact that Sakura was rescued."

Matou Kariya put the simple breakfast made with the ingredients bought in the convenience store on the floor, and then asked about it.

"Concealing is to continue to use you. After all, there is no need to let go of the free chess pieces. The next step is to wait for all seven servants to be in place-but before that, I may be able to do other things, such as being a vassal. The police apprehend suspects or something."

Regarding the summoned servants, Xianyu had no choice but did not want to interfere too much.On the one hand, his biggest weapon is based on the information in the original book. Xianyu knows that the emperor’s treasure is the macho enchantment, the mouth-smelling treasure is a large hair dryer, the brush treasure is a brush, and the beauty treasure is a gift box. The Noble Phantasm of Human Head and Stupid Hair is Kamehae Qigong, the Noble Phantasm of Dead Fish Eye is Barbatos Sauce~☆, and the Noble Phantasm of Lancelot is Fat Tiger.This information is one of his bargaining chips to change this war, and Xian Yu will never take the initiative to destroy the configuration of followers.

On the other hand... there is also a more realistic reason, Xianyu doesn't have that ability.

The method and location of each master's summoning are different, Xianyu took his head to help them exchange holy relics one by one, besides, he didn't have any holy relics that could be replaced at all, so he wouldn't throw snacks into every teleportation array, and then Summon 7 sabers to start a civil war.

"Criminal suspect?" Kariya Matou looked at Xianyu with some doubts, like most people who had communicated with Xianyu, Kariya Matou often couldn't understand the trash talk that Xianyu blurted out.

"It's nothing, just find a murderer. Talk about something else—like your pineapple pineapple body."

Xian Yu has already seen it since the first time we met, although Sakura did not accept the one-year torture.But Matou Kariya has actually been transformed for a whole year.Just by appearing in the sun, he would feel vague pain.Even now when he talks to himself, his body trembles slightly because of the pain.

"There's nothing to say, my choice can buy Sakura the time—to get you to appear, it's already worth it. I may have more than 30 days of life left, you can use it as you like .”

Although his face was already extremely distorted by the engraving worm, Matou Kariya's expression was unprecedentedly relaxed.

"For an existence that is not even your own child, it is worth your own life. And it is very likely to be a futile move. Is it really worth it?"

Matou Kariya did not respond to Xianyu's question, he just handed the plate in his hand to Xianyu, who frowned at the fragrant breakfast - although he couldn't eat it himself, judging from the appearance In other words, this guy's housekeeping ability is actually a little bit better than that of himself and Hei Tongqian.

"I'm the one who wants to ask—what good is it to you to save Sakura? Although you said those high-sounding reasons at first, everything you did... seems to be done on purpose."

"Me? Cough, don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to maximize my chances of winning this Holy Grail War step by step."

Xian Yu immediately coughed a few times to lower his voice.

"Perhaps you didn't realize it yourself. After you rescued Sakura, the cold and profit-oriented aura of you before has completely disappeared, as if your initial attitude was just pretending."

Xianyu really rescued Sakura, and after Matou Kariya observed that Xianyu did not treat Sakura as "indifferent" as he said, Kariya also gradually let down his guard against Xianyu.

"...are there?"

"Don't underestimate the guy who is older than you and used to be a reporter. A young man like you still needs to learn one more, hahaha."

Matou Kariya laughed, although the nerves on his face were constantly twitching, even though he was a half-dead person with less than a month left, but in the bright bedroom, before Sakura's peaceful sleeping position, he still smiled out.

"It seems that I really don't have acting talent..." Xian Yu sighed, but also a little bit happy.He originally thought that Matou Kariya would distrust himself even more, and only regarded himself as an "interest ally that must be guarded against" from beginning to end, but it seemed that he had silently accepted himself.

"Since there is no need to continue to play a bad face, let me say it openly and honestly - it is true that I need your help to eliminate the unstable factor Matou Zouken, and I need yours too Help as my [insurance] for this Holy Grail War, but I won't let you die so easily. After all, you finally saved Sakura, and you don't want to die like this without being able to maintain your 'human' status, right? .”

Xian Yu glanced at Sakura, for now he has not made up his mind about the child's next path.

"...It doesn't matter whether you want it or not. The damage caused by the imprinted worms to forcibly expand the magic circuit is irreversible."

"One catty of duck pears! In short, you don't need to think about this matter. What you have to think about now is very simple-how to deal with Sakura's future."

Mentioning this, both of them fell silent.Matou Kariya knew very well that he absolutely couldn't send Sakura back to the Tohsaka house again, neither Tokiomi nor Aoi... "The sense of mission towards the Matou family" and "magician's arrogance" have already surpassed Their love for Sakura.The most important point is - even Sakura herself has been indoctrinated into the idea that "I don't have the existence of a father or mother".

"In short, that's it. If you belch as a tragic hero now, what should Sakura do? Since you are a reporter, you have to think about how to survive. I suggest you practice running. Only by running fast can you talk and laugh until the end."

"Then I have to buy a pair of glasses, right?"
