'No no no, I'm ten years old, it's normal to buy something. '

Li Xiang complained slightly in her heart.

Not to mention shopping, she would have been making soy sauce a long time ago. After all, Kiritsugu is a guy who is not good at housework. If she doesn't work harder, God knows how sloppy her life will be now.

Turning her eyes slightly to one side, Lixiang carefully observed Sakura in front of her. For some reason, she had a very strange feeling.

They were two people who didn't know each other, but unexpectedly got along very well. Even though Sakura was a very afraid of life, she was able to communicate with her normally. Although Sakura would dodge when her eyes met, she seemed shy Or timid.

It was a feeling of seeing each other late... No, it should be said that it should be like this, the fate of the two may be amazing and maybe even.

Li Xiang glanced at the bag in her hand, and immediately sent an invitation to Sakura.

"Sakura, why don't you come to my house today? I bought Xizhijiyu to celebrate the new house."

After the manager's aunt's treatment, the fresh Xizhiji fish lay in the bag, and Lixiang's eyes were full of confidence. With her talent in housework and cooking, it was no problem to cook a small fish.

Not only is there a cooking book to assist, but also the experience of my aunt. To be honest, if this is not done well, she will have to find a noodle and hang herself directly.

Of course, there may be small flaws when making it for the first time, so people who try it are necessary. Rika feels that Kiritsugu alone may not be enough, and I feel a little distressed for the little friend I just handed over...

"I'm sorry, senior, I have to go back early today, so I can't stay outside for too long."

Sakura's face was full of apology, and she reluctantly refused Lixiang's invitation.

Although she didn't want to go back to that house from the bottom of her heart, and she also really wanted to follow her senior to her house as a guest, but she couldn't do it. On the one hand, her grandfather would be angry because of her late return——

On the other hand, he did not want to implicate Emiya-senpai and the guardian named Kiritsugu because of himself.

The kind-hearted Sakura looked at Tachika, who was a little depressed, and felt a little guilty, but she didn't know that it was this refusal to avoid the tragedy that Kiritsugu might experience in the future.

Of course, if you're lucky, you'll be fine.

Let's pray for Mr. Kiritsugu who sacrificed himself, Amen...

"Well, since the family doesn't allow this, there's nothing you can do, Sakura doesn't need to feel guilty."

Li Xiang grinned and shook his head slightly.

In a family with strict family education, she has seen some in her previous life, and the family situation is also different. Maybe Sakura is an eldest young lady?

Not only did he think of it, Li Xiang suddenly had a look of resentment.

Minato's shameless Lixiang complained, glanced at Sakura beside him, and deliberately teased, "Ah, suddenly I really want a younger sister, it would be great if there was a younger sister as cute as Sakura."

"Mum~Senior is a little too much, I'm going to be angry, I'm really going to be angry!"

Sakura's cheeks were slightly red, as moist as peaches.

"Okay, stop joking, Sakura, I'm home, I'll go and play with you next time when I'm free."

"Well, goodbye, senior."

Pausing in front of the huge mansion, Sakura's expression was a little surprised, because a building of this level in front of her was also very impressive in her opinion.

Compared to the Matou Mansion, which is not too far away, it is just an ordinary two-story single-family house. With such a big home in Fuyuki City, Lixiang can be regarded as the eldest lady of a wealthy family, even if she is included in this home. Only two people.

Saying goodbye to Sakura, Li Xiang, who was standing in front of the door, watched Sakura go away, and at the same time, her eyes floated to the heights of the courtyard wall. On the eaves of the entrance, a sneaky figure was lying on it.

"Kiritsugu, what are you doing?"

Rika lost all expressions, and looked at Kiritsugu, who was hiding in a high place, indifferently, staring there.

stare--

After a while, he probably couldn't stand Rika's gaze, and Kiritsugu jumped from a height and landed in front of Rika smoothly, his high-cold appearance still the same.

"I think I should ask again, what are you doing?" Lixiang asked the silent man in front of him with a stern face.

"..." Kiritsugu was silent.

"Is it worried about me, afraid that I will be deceived by my new friend, or something else."

Lixiang's line of sight was a little dangerous, as if she could read people's hearts.

"..." A drop of cold sweat left on Kiritsugu's forehead.

This child, Lixiang, is good in everything. He is beautiful, very cute, talented, and versatile in housework. The only thing that is not good is that he is too mature, and he does not have too much immaturity as a child. Of course, Kiritsugu thinks all this. All because of his decisions over the years.

Keeping to seek enough mystery to achieve the false proposition of saving the world, the two of them have been traveling around the world for many years, and Lixiang has also been trained by him as an assistant.

Magic · Ritual · Ritual · Science · Religion · Myth · Legend · Folklore · Oral Tradition

As long as there is a possibility, the means doesn't matter, but unfortunately the possibilities they are looking for are in vain, so that Kiritsugu has the idea of ​​'is there no miracle in this world'.

At present, there is still one last possibility, the legend of the god child that may be linked to the family named Shuoyue, even if the possibility of this legend is also extremely low.

The last straw in Kiritsugu's eyes...

Looking at Tachika who was so serious in front of him, Kiritsugu finally raised his hands and surrendered, "Okay, I admit, I'm going too far, sorry."

He admitted that he was just as careless as a stupid father, and he was lying on a high place to perform operations similar to voyeurism.

But in fact, he didn't follow it from the beginning. After a brief conversation with Lei Hua, a local snake village, he chose this method when he encountered an error in his brain circuit on the way back. Through tracking, he could judge how Lixiang's new friends were.

After all, it was Mr. Fujimura who reminded him, that Matou...

"Forgive you."

Lixiang smiled and no longer bothered about Kiritsugu's inappropriate behavior.

It is a good thing that someone cares about herself. She once had almost nothing and lost everything again. After the ups and downs, there is still someone who loves and is willing to take care of herself. She is extremely satisfied.

PS: 1. Regarding the past of Sakura, because the oath under the snow didn't say much, and I didn't see too much in the main film of Magical Girl Illya, so I didn't know it very well, so I modified it myself——

Not so bad past.

Chapter 8 The black mud that devours everything

Carrying things, Lixiang turned around and walked towards the house. Lixiang, who took out the key to open the door, went all the way to the kitchen, put all the ingredients there, and waited for dinner time to dispose of it.

"It's something delicious to buy."

Kiritsugu had already noticed the bag that Rika had been carrying all the way, and now he leaned forward to take a look. He had guessed when he went out earlier that Rika would go shopping to fill up the kitchen of this house, but he would not There will be a chance for him to feast his eyes on it is uncertain.

"The main dish is Xizhici fish, and there are other Kanto dishes." He began to make sauces in advance, preparing to make the Lixiang of the sauced Xizhici fish in the evening, and replied without looking back.

Kanto cuisine has a strong taste, which is Kiritsugu's favorite cooking style, and Lixiang has also focused on learning. She is quite good at fried tempura and four-year-old rice, and has housework skills that ordinary housewives can't match.

He took out the kelp for the evening from the bag, and Rika soaked it in the water, "Kiritsugu, I have a question for you."

"Go ahead, I'm listening."

Kiritsugu, who was holding the Shuoyue Clan's record book, sat on the sofa and indulged in it without raising his head, but he still responded to Lika's words.

After all, the last time he chose to ignore Lixiang, his result was quite sad. He couldn't eat a full hot meal for three days, and he ate hard cakes and pickles until Lixiang was coaxed.

Since then, he has understood one thing, if he can't cook, he must not ignore Lixiang, and the end will be miserable.

"Do you know the details of the Matou family?"

Hearing this, Kiritsugu's pupils shrank and fell into silence, as if he didn't know how to speak.

After hesitating for a moment, Kiritsugu's eyes flickered slightly.

"Well, the Matou family is an ordinary family in the local area. I don't know the specifics."

Although Lixiang was dissatisfied with Kiritsugu's obvious concealment, she didn't say anything or think too much. She snorted and walked to the kitchen, ignoring Kiritsugu behind her.

Following the sound of the TV in the living room and the sound of vegetable cutting from the kitchen, Kiritsugu sighed softly, sat on the sofa and watched TV, but his mind had long since followed the mystery of the Matō family. That's not something to provoke.

As a local demon snake, the Matou family controls the inner world of Fuyuki City, and the strength of the church here is similar. In contrast, his friend Fujimura Raika is only a more powerful person in the outer world.

In fact, after he was reminded by Fujimura, he thought about telling Tachika not to let her contact the Matou family.

Too bad it's a bit late...

It's just reached noon, and I don't have much appetite for having a late breakfast, so I just start preparing the evening meal in advance, and I have plenty of choices when I have a lot of time.

Open the refrigerator, take out the fresh seaweed and put it aside. At the same time, take out the packaged sushi rice, and Lixiang tore it open and poured out two cups of rice.

Wash the rice and put it in a clean pot, soak the rice in water and pour a few drops of oil, and then cook the rice as normal.

Steamed crab sticks, sliced ​​carrots, beat eggs, and quickly prepared all the sushi ingredients for dinner. Lixiang covered these things to prevent dusting, and then pushed the door and left the room.

"Let me think about it, emmmm, let's go and clean up your room first."

With her left hand hitting the palm of her right hand, Lika decided to go check out her room first.

Entering the backyard, she found the room with the [Lixiang] sign, she pushed the door directly in, and pulled the suitcase in the corner.

She had known for a long time that Kiritsugu would not help her to take out the things in her suitcase and put them away one by one. That guy might not even pack his own. In terms of housework ability, she was only ten years old enough to throw Kiritsugu dozens of streets. , the difference is really not that big.

Fat times, pajamas, coats, dresses...

She took them out one by one and put them in the cabinets that had already been cleaned, and emptied the suitcases completely. Li Xiang wiped the sweat that was not there on her forehead, and walked outside. She was going to go to the dojo to practice for a while.

……

……

After the practice was over, after rinsing the sweat off his body, Lika came to the kitchen, and Kiritsugu was still lying on the sofa like a salted fish watching TV, and there was a packet of pocky on the table.

Of course, if you exclude the light sniper rifle by the sofa, this is no different from a decadent old otaku.

Or, Kiritsugu was a military mansion?

The sound of the collision between the knife and the chopping board rang in his ears, and Lixiang began to handle the kizhiji fish in his hand, and the cooking book was spread out in front of him.

According to the treatment method described in the book, she started to deal with the scales and gills.

Soy sauce, sake, sugar... Follow the steps in the recipe book steadily, Li Xiang laughed lightly, took out the pot and added a small pot of water to start the last few steps.

"Ginger and mirin are still missing."

Moving her gaze between the cookbook and the pot, Tatsuka took out the soaked kelp and katsuobushi.

Handle them one by one in order, keep the medium heat and slowly collect the juice, and Lixiang starts to process other dishes. It is definitely not enough to eat only fish for housewarming celebrations, even the famous Japanese fish like Xizhiciyu is too shabby. point.

Suddenly, Rika raised her eyes, thinking of something, and turned to look at Kiritsugu, who was lazy on the sofa, "Don't just watch TV! Come and help me pick vegetables!"

"Hi, hi."

Kiritsugu, who was inexplicably beaten, endured silently, got up and walked towards the kitchen, knowing that he was wrong and doing whatever he asked.
