[Comprehensive] IF masters have retired

Lixiang and Matthew's hands are still tightly held together.

As in the past, fine sweat oozed from Matthew's hands, and his little finger twitched uncontrollably.

"Senior, are you alright?"

The Holy Grail shard was held in Lixiang's hand, quietly like a coin picked up by the side of the road.

Those shadow followers who only harassed and hindered them naturally disappeared without the supply of magic power, leaving a mess of basketballs in various "dead" forms around them.

Urged by Doctor Roman, Merlin picked up the communicator, and the other hand that was about to cast the spell dropped down and walked to Lixiang.

His staff was too big compared to the pieces of the Holy Grail, so he just swayed a spellcasting action and didn't hit the golden pieces directly.

Lixiang shook his head, seeing that Merlin was interested, he stuffed the fragment into his hand, "I'm fine, I just talked to the Holy Grail."

The little finger of her right hand slightly raised and scratched in Matthew's palm.

As if responding to his action just now.

The itching went straight from the palm of the hand to the heart, and Matthew coughed to cover up his unnaturalness, "Really, that's great."

The other two heroic spirits who understood the atmosphere better than Merlin silently took two steps back, grabbed Mei Li's hood, and pulled him back a little.

The projection that was originally automatically turned on by the communicator was also quickly turned off by Holmes.

Dr. Roman then silenced his voice, and turned on the camera mode by the way.

"Holmes! What a good eye!"

"Each each other."

Li Xiang was encouraging herself, but she couldn't see it on the surface, but in fact she was very nervous.

She had already planned to confess to the provocative and unknowing Matthew as soon as the matter of the Holy Grail fragment was over.

Not to mention that after facing the nightmare created by the fragments of the Holy Grail for so long, she also realized what she was afraid of.

Fujimaru Tatsuka was afraid of losing.

So will the confession make her lose Matthew?

When Matthew turned his head back, he saw that Lixiang had something to say with a tangled face, and saw that the Holy Grail fragment was being pinched in Merlin's hand peacefully, so he said intimately: "Senior, what's the matter with you?"

He squeezed Lixiang's hand, even though he was very reluctant, he still told himself in his mind to let go.

The strength of Lixiang's grip was stronger than Matthew's imagination. He struggled, not heavy or unclear, and did not break free. Instead, because of his things, Lixiang subconsciously gripped even tighter.

"senior?"

Lixiang recovered and made a choice.

"Matthew, look! It's all over... in two days... let's go out on a date!"

Alas--!

Before Merlin could make a sound of disgust, Wang Hassan covered his mouth. On the contrary, the melon-eaters on the other end of the communicator made a lot of strange noises because they didn't turn on the voice on their side.

Fujimaru Tachika, as the master of Chaldea, do you have the guts?

What about a good confession?

The person involved was completely unaware of the dislike of others for his language expression. After asking the question, Li Xiang unconsciously pursed his lips, waiting for Matthew's answer.

Whatever the senior said was fine, Matthew nodded and agreed, his head sank halfway, and suddenly Zhang froze like a sculpture.

"it is good…"

...?what is itWhat did the senior invite me to do?Is it a date?Am I hallucinating?Or is it because I have talked to my friends too many times recently about asking my seniors to come out and confess, and I automatically made up such a picture in my head?

"A date! Good!"

Telling the other party to be more nervous than himself, Li Xiang relaxed instead, "That's right, it's only you and me on a date, it's great that Matthew agrees."

It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't confess right away, just take your time.

She released the strength in her hands, let go of the hands that were tightly clenched, suppressed the sense of loss in her heart, and turned her head to ask: "Merlin! What about the basketball corpses here now? Are you responsible?"

Merlin flicked the pieces of the Holy Grail in his hand and nodded, "Of course I am in charge, otherwise I will come out with you tonight and I have done nothing, wouldn't it make me seem useless?"

Emiya glanced at the area near the auditorium that was divided into two halves of the basketball, which was not done by him.

"But then again," Lixiang walked into the heroic spirit trio, and Matthew followed behind him a little unnaturally, "The lethality of this fragment is too small."

There was even no way to summon the servants, and the original state of high vigilance was completely useless.

"Okay, okay," Da Vinci passed over the two men watching the show, and turned on the projection and voice of Chaldea, "It's a good thing to be able to recycle it. You guys should go home quickly after cleaning up the scene, especially Lixiang. And Matthew, you have to go to bed early and get up early before you are an adult."

"As for the question about the Holy Grail fragment, we will give an answer after we study it." Holmes said, "Let me leave the matter of escort to Merlin, okay?"

"Eh—?" Merlin looked extremely reluctant, he was called out from Avalon by Lixiang, and he came to Japan on foot, and he didn't want to move his feet for the time being.

"I'm lying to you," Doctor Roman said with a smile, "Isn't it good to just teleport back to Chaldea? Let me tell you, you are a caster, right?" Be a little conscious, don't forget your identity!

Merlin shook his head, "Chanting a spell is not as fun as going up to kill people?"

Gong Jie and Sha Jie, who did not want to be named, nodded, that is, Ping a!Take a knife and chop!Open Wushuang from the front!Otherwise, what kind of archer/assassin/magician?

Li Xiang quickly lowered her head and used her feet to fiddle with the dead body of the basketball on the ground, preventing everyone from seeing the smile on her face.

Maybe for a moment, she was bewitched by the pieces of the Holy Grail and wanted to go back to the past, but it was only for a moment, and it was fine now.

She is very satisfied.

Of course, it would have been even better if she had been brave enough to confess her confession just now.

At the invitation of Kise Ryota the next day, Tatsuka and Matthew went to his basketball game.

Hanako came earlier than both of them, so she stood in the front row ahead of time, and when she saw the two of them walking in like young lovers, she raised her arms high, "Lixiang, here!"

Last night, due to the battle of the heroic spirits, the place was destroyed in a mess, not to mention the tragic death of the basketball, there are also large and small pits on the ground.I don't know what method Merlin used, those terrifying traces have been covered up.

Lixiang was still a little uncomfortable with the brightly lit and crowded basketball arena, not only because of the battle last night, but also because it was a place that would inevitably appear in nightmares.

She nodded to Hanako, pulled Matthew by the hem and walked towards Hanako—without holding hands.

Matthew was carrying a bag in his hand, which seemed to contain a lot of things.

I haven't seen each other for half a month, and Hanako misses her good friend very much. She took a look at the state of getting along with her two friends, and she was not sure whether their two percents would be successful, so she decided to bypass this topic and said directly: "Fortunately, you are not late, otherwise I may not be able to occupy this front row seat!"

Speaking of the front row is really self-deprecating. Today's game is eight to four. The two teams in the game: Haichang and Tonghuang are both strong schools. Hanako alone can occupy the first row of the Haichang team. Position, not everyone can do it.

The Lixiang brothers patted Hanako on the shoulders, and naturally took out a popsicle from the bag that Matthew was carrying and handed it to each other, "Here, your favorite cream chocolate, condolences to you."

Seeing Popsicle in Xia Tian was like seeing a savior, Hanako was naturally happy, she nodded to Matthew, "Thank you!"

After the popsicles were stuffed into their mouths, the unconscious anxiety when waiting for people was relieved. Now the players of both sides are still laying out tactics in the lounge, waiting for the opening, and the basketball hall is full of conversations.

Matthew and Lixiang sat down, and Hanako asked, "Matthew, what are you carrying?"

"Cough, honey lemon, I heard it's your traditional condolence item." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Xiang with a guilty conscience, "Senior and I made it ourselves."

"Ah, you two came prepared, am I not embarrassed?" Hanako clapped her hands and almost threw the popsicle out.

"It's okay again," Lixiang bumped Hanako with his shoulder, but secretly reached out to Matthew and continued to tug at the hem of his clothes, "That guy Kise, he's good enough to eat, he's not qualified to talk."

The tugged hem of the clothes instead comforted Matthew. He looked particularly guilty, which naturally made sense.

Can't really blame him though.

Anyone who was invited to a date yesterday and woke up this morning to make honey and lemon would think it was a preparation for a date, right?

Matthew, who realized that he had misunderstood him halfway through, was a little depressed mixed with shame, and immediately stopped what he was doing, and turned his head alone to sulk.

How can you not go on a good date and run to cheer for your friend's basketball game?Kise-kun is really too, why invite others to watch his football game...?

Ok?

Matthew remembered that the reason Kise sent them an invitation was because he contacted the other party some time ago to ask about the schedule of the basketball gym.

In a sense, Matthew, who had tricked himself, came back to his senses, feeling shy about his petty temper.

He was embarrassed to admit his mistake to his senior, so he could only fight again and help Li Xiang.

So when going out, Matthew took the initiative to carry a large box of honey and lemons in his hand.

They chatted casually. Hanako participated in the volleyball club training some time ago, and she performed well. No accident, the second grade will definitely be selected.

Matthew often studies with friends in the writing study group and reading love group, or goes out to check out places suitable for couples to go out, and his life is extremely busy.

In this way, Lixiang, who stays at home and rests every day, seems to have nothing to do.

She scratched her head. Apart from basic body exercises, she didn't do anything meaningful every day. From this point of view, she really was slack?

Before Lixiang could come up with a reason, players from both sides entered the arena.

The game has not officially started yet, and now it is time for the players to warm up. Kise followed behind Yukio Kasamatsu, and it was not difficult to see his nervousness from his face.

As the captain, Kasamatsu Yukio has a limit to his tolerance for the team's ace. He looked at Kise who kicked Kise viciously, and shouted, "Warm up!"

Kise pouted, "Senior is too strict." Turning around, he saw the trio of friends sitting in the first row.

Li Xiang whispered, "Tell me, he ran over like a golden retriever with a bone in his mouth to show off to his master."

The two people beside them nodded silently.
