[Comprehensive] Judging people by their appearance

"I am back."

Changing her shoes before entering the living room, Chiba took off her coat and hung it on the hanger, and the sound of cooking came from the kitchen.

Qianye went upstairs first and put the holy relic into the safety box of the police, then went downstairs and went straight to the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, can you give me something delicious?"

Chiba's voice was sweet, but it was not Claudia who was cooking in the kitchen.

Chiba hesitated for a moment when he wanted to kiss the other person's cheek, but subconsciously turned into a hug, rubbed his small head against Kotomine Kirei's arm, looked at the mapo tofu in the pot, and sniffed it.

"smell good."

Kotomine Kirei at home was a little more casual than outside, the overly rigid black school uniform was replaced, heating was installed in the apartment, and he wore a black woolen sweater with a cross on his chest.

There was an extra little guy on his arm, Kotomine Kirei silently changed the hand holding the spoon to the other hand, scooped up half a spoonful of tofu and blew it lightly, the heat was blown away, and he put it in Chiba when it was no longer hot. lips.

"Try it."

Kotomine Kirei's favorite food is mapo tofu, and his own cooking skills are also very good.

Chiba didn't think mapo tofu was so delicious before, but he was young at the time and was raised by his brother, but his brother loved to make all kinds of mapo tofu, and he spit it up again and again when it was spicy, and he got used to it over time up.

Kotomine Kirei has always doted on Chiba, but only here is Mapo Tofu, no matter how much Chiba plays coquettishly, he will be coaxed by Brother Kotomine to eat them all in the end.

Chiba picked up the spoon, and bit half a spoonful of tofu into his mouth. The red sauce made Chiba's pink lips red, and tears welled up in his eyes. He eagerly opened the refrigerator to find water to drink.

"It's so spicy! Brother, how much pepper did you put?"

Kotomine Kirei glanced at Chiba, scooped up a spoonful and tasted it himself. He didn't feel how spicy it was, and his eyes passed over his sister's slightly parted lips, thinking: "The taste has been a bit stronger recently."

"Ah! I just bought this a few days ago! There is only a little bit left!"

Chiba found the chili powder jar from the cabinet and shook it.

"Chiba, you are exaggerating. The point of mapo tofu is to be spicy. If it is not spicy, it is not called mapo tofu."

Kotomine Kirei took another spoonful and ate it, and said righteously: "Since you were in junior high school, you seldom go home to eat. You are not used to the spicy mapo tofu, so you can't stand it at first. Eat a bowl of mapo tofu."

As soon as my brother mentioned mapo tofu, he was no longer rigid, but very energetic. What he said made sense, and Chiba began to really wonder if he was not used to spicy food.

But regardless of whether what my brother said makes sense, if tonight's dinner is super-spicy mapo tofu, she will definitely have diarrhea!

"Where is sister-in-law? I want to eat the dishes cooked by sister-in-law."

Kotomine Kirei put mapo tofu on a plate, one piece was bright red, and sprinkled some chopped coriander on top.

"She's sick and resting."

Claudia was often sick, and the pregnant woman was worried all day long, and it was only a matter of time before she fell ill.

"Why is sister-in-law sick again? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Kotomine Kirei touched Chiba's head, his brown eyes were quiet and peaceful: "It's okay, the weather has been bad recently, and she also likes to watch the snow, and accidentally caught a cold when she went for a walk."

"Ah."

"Come over for dinner."

Qianye's face suddenly turned bitter, and he walked slowly to the dining table, looking at a large bowl of mapo tofu, feeling a dull pain in his stomach.

"I've put the stuff in the box, brother, take it back to the church when you have time."

Chiba tried to change the subject.

"In a few days, you go back to Japan to start school, and take it back with you, just in time to talk to your father."

In the past, it was thought that Chiba's physique and magic power were not worth the loss, but now that Chiba has exposed her physical skills, she naturally couldn't escape Kotomine Rizheng's eagerness to seek talent.

Qianye doesn't feel repulsed, after all, the profession of assassin is no stranger to Qianye.

It's just that according to Kotomine Kirei's words, they don't seem to be going back to Japan with Chiba.

When Chiba asked, Kotomine Kirei's face fluctuated for a moment, like ripples were suddenly stirred up on a calm mirror, and that calm and rigid face became extraordinarily vivid.

"Claudia will be giving birth in Germany."

Kotomine Kirei had already eaten half a bowl of mapo tofu, and the deliciousness of the taste buds on the tip of the tongue made people feel happy. Kotomine Kirei attributed the fluctuation of his inner joy to the mapo tofu.

Claudia is a persistent woman. She wants to heal Kotomine Kirei, and Kotomine Kirei is very cooperative with her. He looks forward to the result of Claudia's hard work for so long. For that result, Kotomine Kirei is willing to wait for some time.

"Brother and sister-in-law are really affectionate. If sister-in-law's health is not so bad, you will be very happy."

Chiba sincerely wished.

Kotomine Kirei didn't agree or disagree with Chiba's evaluation, he indulged Chiba with another half bowl of mapo tofu, he didn't seem to see Chiba's little face like a bitter melon.

"We've always been happy."

Kotomine Kirei sighed.

That night, Chiba suffered from diarrhea. My brother was right. Chiba hadn't eaten mapo tofu made by his brother for a long time. He couldn't be revenge, right?Chiba clutched her stomach in doubt.

Until the day of returning to Japan, Claudia's illness was not cured. Chiba went to see her before leaving. She was a little thinner, leaning against the head of the bed, with soft white hair hanging by her ears, and her bandaged arms Lovingly smoothing Chiba's hair.

"I'm not in good health, so I won't send you off."

"Well, my brother gave it to me."

Claudia smiled as she expected, "For Kirei, the person he loves and values ​​the most is Chiba."

After a moment of silence, Claudia said: "Chiba, you are very smart, you should know."

"Ok?"

"Kirei doesn't love me."

Qianye opened her mouth nah, but she didn't know what to say, as if she could destroy this frail woman with just one word.

But Claudia's inner toughness is different from her fragile appearance.

The more she understood Kotomine Kirei, the more she wanted to heal him and correct him, the more she sighed in despair.

Perhaps the only person in this world who can heal Kotomine Kirei is his sister, but the only person in this world who can give Kotomine Kirei that abnormal and immoral emotion is also Kotomine Chiba.

Such contradictions are destined to be a fruitless game.

What's more, the child still doesn't know anything.

The brother in her eyes is probably the best brother in the world.

"No matter what happens, don't have a quarrel with your brother. He likes you very much. You can spend more time with him when you have time."

Chiba nodded, said a few words to her and left the room.

Back in Japan, Chiba was indeed "taken care of" by Kotomine Rizheng, which was unavoidable, so Chiba had no choice but to dump her physical skills to a family of magicians who were hunted down by bounty hunters last year .

That family is best at transforming the human body, trying to create human weapons in vain, but unfortunately they were killed in the cradle shortly after the experiment was started.

"Father always attaches great importance to my brother, and often ignores me. If my father gave up on Qianye because of Qianye's physique, since Qianye can't share his father's worries in magic, at least in terms of physical skills, Qianye can't drag Yanfeng. home's hind legs."

I don't know if Chiba's words hit Kotomine Rizheng's guilt, he stopped dwelling on this issue, and instead focused on training Chiba.

But he didn't want Chiba to follow her brother's path. It's not good for a girl's family to be bloody. Yan Fengli is gradually handing over the matters of the Eighth Secret Society to Chiba to try to deal with.

Then it was unexpectedly discovered that the results of the collection of holy relics are very good.

The only thing that makes Kotomine Rizheng a little headache is whether this child has learned the style of acting after Kotomine Kirei, and he will never talk nonsense if he can kill someone to solve it.

But he would never guess that Chiba's mode of doing tasks has successfully switched to the mode of beating enemies.

In this way, the opening ceremony was gradually passed. Asuna knew that Chiba had gone to Germany during the holidays, and pestered her all day to talk about the customs of Germany, delicious food and fun.

It was okay at first, but later Asuka found that Chiba always looked tired.

"what happened to you?"

Chiba bit her straw, biting her head, leaning half of her shoulder against the window of the dessert shop.

"a bit sleepy……"

Tomorrow Xun immediately didn't dare to bother Chiba, drank the milk tea in the cup, got up and dragged Chiba up.

"If you're sleepy, go home quickly, don't sleep outside, you'll catch a cold!"

Tomorrow Xun muttered: "Have you stayed up late at night to play games or read novels? You have a face of serious lack of sleep, but with your temperament, you probably only read the study materials, and you just started school. Just work so hard, let me learn like this. Where do you put your scumbags!"

Tomorrow Xun chattered on and on, but the words stopped abruptly, staring at Qianye in a daze.

In a half-dream and half-awake state, the soft eyes that have been smiling all the time seem to be soaked in the mist of the forest at this time, the mist is hazy, getting closer, the warm candy scent on Chiba's body is intoxicating, and the head is slightly leaning on Asuka's shoulder On the top, revealing a slender and fair neck, fragile and beautiful.

What a cute foul, if she is a boy, she probably likes this kind of girl.

"If you really fell asleep outside, you might wake up the next day." Ming Rixun muttered, "Now the strange uncle, I like you the most Lee."

Asuka kept saying this, Chiba was also a little more awake, but Asuka's body was really soft and comfortable, so Chiba just leaned directly on her.

"Xun, please, take me home."

Tomorrow Xun had no fluctuations in his heart and even wanted to laugh, especially after watching Qianye wake up for a while and fall asleep again, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"You haven't slept in 800 years?"

Tomorrow Xun took out her mobile phone from Chiba's schoolbag, and was about to call her brother, but the next second the mobile phone was taken away by one hand.

He was a man with black hair and black eyes who looked like a social elite in a suit and leather shoes, and he was good-looking, and Tomorrow Xun's anger disappeared immediately.

"I'm Chiba's uncle, and I'll take her back on the way."

Emiya Kiritsugu bent down to hug Chiba.

Chiba, who was in Kaoru Asuka's arms, sensed the approach of a strange aura, subconsciously resisted, not knowing what Emiya Kiritsugu had done, Chiba suddenly softened, fell asleep completely, and was successfully embraced by Emiya Kiritsugu inside.

She is very light and her body is incredibly soft.

Emiya Kiritsugu investigated Chiba after that day, but someone deliberately concealed the child's identity, so he could only find out that this child was a new killer who seemed to be employed by the church.

But judging by her clothes, she is still a student.

Emiya Kiritsugu paid the bill for Kaoru Asuna very considerately, and put her in the back seat with Chiba in his arms. When he got in the car, he saw Kaoru Asuna's worried expression through the window. She has a good friend, but even if he is the last Once a good friend knows that she is an executioner with bloody hands, cracks will appear in the deepest relationship.

What most people have is only a short-lived hotness. The world always looks down on the happiness of human beings.

The heater was turned on inside the car, and outside the window was the icy cold wind of winter, Emiya Kiritsugu drove the car to an uninhabited suburb and stopped.

He quietly waited for Qianye to wake up, during this period, he opened the trunk and took out a large box, and checked her physical condition before Qianye woke up.

Includes Chiba's Magic Circuit.

Unexpectedly, in the last battle, Chiba did not use magic power, and mostly used physical skills. Generally, killers focus on physical skills, most of which are lacking in magic, and physical skills make up for it.

Emiya Kiritsugu also deduced in the same way, thinking that Chiba's magic practice is average, but she has 27 magic circuits in her body, which has nothing to do with "ordinary".

Or did her "supervisor" not teach her how to use magic at all?

With that in mind, everything makes sense.

A killing weapon really doesn't need to learn much, it's easier to rebel if it's too powerful.

"Well--"

Emiya Kiritsugu's attention subconsciously fell on Chiba's slightly parted lips, and he couldn't help but recall the smell of the girl's lips on the snow that day.

Sweet and soft.

"Who are you……?"

Qianye, who opened his eyes in a daze, rubbed the center of his brows, his head was very dizzy, and the black shadow in his vision became clearer and clearer, until he saw that quiet face, Qianye was stunned for a moment.

"you you……"

Chiba murmured, her survival instinct made her get out of the car immediately, but the door was locked, and Emiya Kiritsugu's big hand full of shackles had already grabbed Chiba's arm.

"It seems that you still recognize me."

Chiba's little face was pale with fright, and her face, which was already weak due to lack of sleep, now looked even weaker and pitiful with timidity. She struggled twice from Emiya Kiritsugu's hand, crying: "Let go of me, Saint!" The relic is not with me."

The little girl's strength is always not as strong as that of an adult man, and she has been busy with the eighth secret meeting these days, and has not closed her eyes for two or three days. Her physical condition is very poor, and she can't use her strength at all.

Chiba couldn't beat him at all.

Realizing this point, Chiba stopped struggling, pitifully and obediently huddled in the corner, staring at Emiya Kiritsugu with wide eyes uneasily.

Those cub-like eyes made Emiya Kiritsugu's heart soft and messed up.

The darker this world is, the more Emiya Kiritsugu loves soft and pure white things. Seeing Chiba's defensive posture, Emiya Kiritsugu moves a little away from her, takes out a piece of candy with pink wrapping paper from his suit pocket, and spreads it out. In the palm of your hand, hand it to Chiba.

Those were a pair of somewhat rough hands. From the location of the cocoons, it could be seen that this man was good at using guns.

gun?

He is very good at close combat, but he is best at long-range attacks?

"Sugar, for me?"

"Well, Ilya also likes to eat this kind of taste."

Chiba looked at Emiya Kiritsugu hesitantly, the other party's expression did not change, and the hand spread out in front of Chiba never retracted.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at her quietly, watching her hesitate and hesitate, those big cat-like eyes aimed at the candy in his hand from time to time.

This seemed to be a protracted battle, and Emiya Kiritsugu didn't feel his hands were sore, until that shiny and jade-white hand tentatively touched his fingertips.

The warm and soft touch spread from the fingertips, giving Emiya Kiritsugu the idea of ​​grabbing this hand, but just as the thought flashed by, the candy in his hand had already been taken away.

Peel off the candy wrapper and put it in your mouth, the sweet taste permeates your mouth.

The girl's wary look was gradually softened by the sweet taste.

Even the eyes are shining like stars.

"Delicious……"

Surprisingly good coax.

Chiba has an irresistible love for sweets. Emiya Kiritsugu saw that she liked it, so he gave her the rest of the candies. They were all candies that Chiba had never eaten before. He didn't notice that Emiya Kiritsugu's hand had already touched her head, her cheek, and her neck.

As if such an intimate contact, my life full of sadness and despair can be contaminated with some warmth.

"Where is your home, I will take you back."

My elder brother and sister-in-law are both in Germany, and my father often lives in the church and does not come back. Chiba is the only person in the family.

Emiya Kiritsugu sent Chiba back home, but fortunately Chiba still had a sliver of sobriety in his little head that was bewildered by sweets, so he didn't tell him the specific address, and was only asked to get off at an intersection.

The child seemed to get out of the car and came into contact with the cold air before realizing that the two were enemies, and said with a tense face: "Even if you give me candy, I don't have any holy relics for you! Temptation is useless! But I also I won't give you the sugar back!"

After finishing speaking, with a stern face, he trotted out of Emiya Kiritsugu's sight with a bunch of candies tightly in his arms.

so cute.

Emiya Kiritsugu stood in place for a long time, watching Chiba's figure completely disappear.
