Because I'm too afraid of pain, it's worth all the looks

"Although it's not as lively as before in Kyoto, there are still a lot of people. The kimono shop that I went to rent clothes yesterday was overcrowded." Ming Qiu hung up the rented clothes, and said, "It was hard to find the one I like. what~"

Oda Sakunosuke helped Mingqiu pass the clothes, and said: "Because the fireworks display is a festival in the middle of the year, the fireworks display in Yokohama this year is combined with the summer festival, and there are various activities from morning to night. After the fireworks display, the weather It’s getting colder, and there are not many opportunities for so many people to get together and watch the fireworks in yukata.”

"That's true. There should be many people participating by then."

"Ah."

Looking at the neatly hung kimono, Ming Qiu clapped his hands in satisfaction, and said, "So what is Xiao Zhichan going to do today?"

"I'm going to the publishing house today. Although it's a short story, it seems that the other party thinks it's very good and wants to discuss it with me."

Ming Qiu couldn't help but let out a wow, and then said: "As expected, I said that Xiao Zhijiang will definitely become a very powerful author! The boss of the publishing house really has the same vision as me!"

This proud look made Oda Sakunosuke also smile, and then asked: "Mr. Tohsaka is coming today, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it should be about an hour away, so Sakura is picking out the right clothes."

Sakura's voice came from the room:

"Ma, it will be fine soon..."

After a while, the door was quietly opened. Sakura was wearing a white skirt, the skirt was simply decorated with light pink lace, and her hair was tied with a red headband.

"So cute! As expected of Sakura!"

"It's beautiful, Sakura."

Ming Qiu crazily praised Sakura as if she didn't want money, while Oda Sakunosuke encouraged her not to be too shy.

"Then let's go out."

Ming Qiu took Ying to the airport, and sat leisurely at the milk tea shop at the exit, Ying tugged at the hem of her skirt nervously, looking very disturbed.

Ming Qiu reached out and touched Ying's head, comfortingly said: "Don't be so nervous, seeing Ying getting more and more beautiful and more confident, parents and sister will definitely be very happy."

"Hmm..." Sakura shook her leg and said, "I will pay attention."

Mingqiu thought for a while, put on the mercury amulet that Sakura had made for herself, and said, "Is Sakura worried that father, who is a magician, will feel worried that he hasn't practiced magic properly?"

"Yes..." Then Sakura immediately emphasized: "But it's not my sister's problem, it's me... I'm a little afraid of becoming a magician..."

"Is that so..." Ming Qiu said with a smile: "It is up to you to decide whether Sakura will become a magician or not. Mr. Saka really asks, is there still me here, let this amulet cheer Sakura up, and for the next day, Sakura will bravely accompany her parents and sister, and have fun in Yokohama."

Sakura met her gentle eyes, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Yes! I know!"

Not long after the plane landed, Ming Qiu saw the Tohsaka family coming out, immediately patted Sakura on the shoulder, and encouraged: "Go quickly, Sakura."

"it is good!"

Even if Sakura is determined to return to Tohsaka's house now, Mingqiu will not have any accidents.

If she can really overcome the fear of the past, even if Sakura really walks out, then even if she is not by her side, Ming Qiu can rest assured.

Even so, I still feel that there is one less person around me.

"Miss Oda."

"Mr. Yuansaka, Mrs. Yuansaka, and Rin, hello." Ming Qiu greeted with a smile, and said, "It's been a hard journey."

Tohsaka Tokiomi nodded slightly, and said, "I will be taking care of you for the next few days."

"I'm really sorry..." Tohsaka Aoi was also a little embarrassed, and said: "It's Rin, who has always wanted to participate in the fireworks festival with Sakura, and we really couldn't help her pestering her like this, so we brought her here. "

Rin, who was holding hands with Sakura affectionately, immediately blushed and said, "Mom!"

"It's okay, it's okay, Sakura has been looking forward to today, and after receiving the letter, she's thinking about where to take her family to play next." Ming Qiu looked at Ying gently, and said, "Sakura has always attached great importance to father, mother and family. Sister, she is a very serious and good boy."

Ying was taken aback for a moment, seeing Ming Qiu blinking at her, and her family members also staring at her, they lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"Hotels and restaurants have also been booked, let's go."

After the Tohsaka family was settled and everyone had lunch together, Tohsaka Aoi took the two children to play in the hotel, Ming Qiu and Tohsaka Tokiomi began to talk privately.

Tosaka Tokiomi sized her up seriously, and said, "I hope Miss Oda doesn't mind, but your complexion is indeed not as good as before."

"That's true." Ming Qiu didn't hide it, and said: "The 'wall' on my body is no longer as strong as before, which means that if someone attacks me now, I will definitely be injured, but not necessarily like ordinary people. Seriously."

Not getting hurt has always been Ming Qiu's strongest point, even the King of Heroes' treasures can't cause substantial damage to her, coupled with her powerful magic power absorption, it is no problem to deal with some ordinary enemies.

But if this is lost, her life becomes precarious.

Tohsaka Tokiomi sighed in his heart, he didn't ask her why she became like this, but asked, "Miss Oda, what are your plans now?"

Ming Qiu answered the other party honestly, saying: "I don't want to die. So I hope to be able to make a brand new body so that I can continue to survive in this world."

Tosaka Tokiomi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "At present, there are only two effective ways. As mentioned in the letter, the continuation of the Einzbern family relies on the continuous production of artificial humans, and the current head of the family is constantly changing bodies. It is also because of this that Einzbern's people are not good at fighting, so they can only recruit Emiya Kiritsugu as their son-in-law, but they should be very clear about making bodies, but..."

"but?"

"Everyone in the Einzbern family must have known about the Holy Grail before. Emiya Kiritsugu's daughter was picked up from the Einzbern Castle by him. Part of the reason why it went so smoothly was that He claimed that you broke the Holy Grail, and the head of the Einzbern House really believes that you are responsible."

Ming Qiu was slightly taken aback, then showed a helpless smile, and said, "So the Einzbern family should hate me very much now, right? Needless to say, they accepted my commission, helped me create a new body, and didn't send killers." It is already kind to me to assassinate me. But it doesn’t matter, this can be regarded as helping Mr. Emiya, at least you can reunite with his daughter..."

"Indeed." Tokiomi Tohsaka admitted, and then said: "The other way is to find puppeteers with mature skills, but because of this special job, most of these people's whereabouts are secretive. Now the most certain thing is that there is a puppeteer in the clock tower. A magician known as the 'Grand Puppeteer', Aozaki Touko, it is rumored that the dolls she made can perfectly harmonize with the original soul, if you can get the body she made, it should be the best result."

"It sounds very powerful. Weber also told me that the magicians who can be recognized by the clock tower are very powerful magicians. The 'crown' should be a very strong level."

Although it sounds like a feasible path, it is not that simple in practice.

"That's true, the crown is the highest level of a magician." Tosaka Tokiomi continued to emphasize: "But it is even more difficult to enter the clock tower, let alone meet the rumored crown." I am a puppeteer, which means that the hope on this road is extremely slim."

"If I enter the clock tower, I probably have some ideas. I will probably go back after the fireworks display, but it is really difficult to find the puppeteer..." Although he was talking about extremely difficult things, Ming Qiu But he didn't show any distress, instead he smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that urgent. As a normal person, my body is still very strong, but I'm a little worried...so I want to prepare in advance."

"Excuse me, what exactly did Ms. Oda go through?"

Ming Qiu blinked, then said easily, "I was chosen by misfortune."

Having said this, Tosaka Tokiomi has clearly realized the attitude of the other party, and then said: "I hope Miss Oda is safe and everything goes well."

Ming Qiu could probably guess his hesitation, and said: "If Sakura agrees, I don't have any objections to Mr. Tohsaka taking her back. After all, he is a father, and it is his nature to care for his daughter. I can understand."

"I do have such thoughts..." Tohsaka Tokiomi sighed, and said: "But Sakura's thoughts are probably not like this. She regards Miss Oda as her spiritual support, as long as Miss Oda is around, Sakura She can do everything, and she wrote to me before, hoping to get some books on the basics of magic from me, so she can learn magic by herself, so maybe she can help Miss Oda."

Ming Qiu was slightly taken aback.

"After leaving the Matou family, Sakura was afraid of the world of magic, right? But Ms. Oda made her change her mind, so the Tohsaka family is willing to stand by Ms. Oda's side." Tokiomi Tohsaka solemnly promised : "Miss Oda, don't worry, the Tohsaka family is also partly connected to the clock tower, I think I can ask someone to help me find out."

Ming Qiu lowered his eyes, then said gratefully: "That would be great."

At least since she came to this world, she has done some right things, so she can get help from others.

As Sakunosuke Oda said, the fireworks display can be said to be an extremely grand festival in summer, because there are not a few people who go out on this day. Although the weather is not cool, people still insist on going out very early.

Ming Qiu changed into a light blue light bathrobe, her hair was simply tied into a high ponytail with a headband, she fanned herself with a round fan in one hand, and said with emotion: "Everyone is still so enthusiastic in this weather."

Oda Sakunosuke changed into a dark blue yukata, and said, "After all, it's July, and the weather will only gradually get colder. It's normal to take this time to put on a yukata and feel the summer."

Ming Qiu asked curiously: "How is the matter of the publishing house going?"

Oda Sakunosuke was a little unconcerned, and said: "Everything is going well."

Ming Qiu heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good." Then she clasped her hands happily, and said, "In this way, from now on, I can say that Xiaozhijiang, a rising star in the novel world, is my family member. Just thinking about it makes me proud!"

Oda Sakunosuke smiled and said, "Is that so?"

"Of course."

The two little girls, Sakura and Rin, were talking and laughing with their parents, Ming Qiu and Oda Sakunosuke were walking behind them, looking at the small stalls on the street with great interest. When I came out, many people were already tired from shopping, sitting in parks and other public places to rest, and the streets that can be visited have become much looser. Needless to say, there are all kinds of food on the roadside, and there are many small stalls that can be visited.

"Is this for fishing goldfish? I want to try it too!"

Oda Sakunosuke took the paper net from the stall owner and said, "Leave it to me."

Then it took only a few strokes to catch five or six goldfish.

"It's amazing!" Ming Qiu looked at the rich harvest of Oda Sakunosuke, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Xiaozhi-chan, it's really you!"

Oda Sakunosuke looked at Ming Qiu and asked, "Do you want to buy it?"

Mingqiu Chicken Peck Mi nodded, and said: "I'll buy a fish tank later, let's raise them well!"

Oda Sakunosuke took the plastic bag containing water and goldfish from the stall owner, and walked along the street with Ming Qiu, when he suddenly asked, "Hasn't Qiu-chan invited anyone to go shopping together? That officer Ozaki told you Take care of a lot, right?"

Ming Qiu shook the small fan in his hand, and said: "That's right...but Miss Hongye said she has an appointment today, so she won't come."

"Is that so?"

"Although Sister Hongye didn't come, there is someone else..." Ming Qiu suddenly saw something while talking, stood on tiptoe and waved to the distance, saying: "Come on——I'm here!"

The cadres of Mafia at the port were looking for someone, but when they heard her voice, they immediately turned around and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

"Your outfit is...from the movie..."

"That's right." Ming Qiu turned around and asked with a smile, "How is it? Does it look good?"

"Looking good..." Zhong Yuan was slightly taken aback after finishing speaking, and then said: "Ah, when I said 'good-looking' I meant clothes... I didn't mean you were not good-looking either!"

Ming Qiu and Oda Sakunosuke looked at each other, and then she laughed, her eyes slightly bent, and she praised: "I understand—Chong, you are also very handsome today, and the yukata suits you very well!"

The white yukata was covered with a black striped haori, and he didn't seem to be wearing a hat today. If his subordinates saw that the cadre was dressed so naturally and freshly, they would probably be surprised.

Zhong Yuanzhong also cleared his throat, and seriously emphasized: "Cough——I didn't choose it on purpose."

"I understand, I understand." Ming Qiu invited him with a smile, and said, "Let's go shopping together, let's go."
