However, I refuse!

Does she fear that place?

Was she afraid of that place?

Do not....

She just...subconsciously doesn't want to hear that voice...

But even though Matou Sakura had left the basement of Matou House, the voice still did not disappear like a nightmare, and the power of the voice gradually became weaker.

"if..."

"It would be nice if the world was destroyed..."

Chapter 340 Who Are You?who am I?Who is she? (2)

A few minutes later, it was time for dinner.

Among the dining tables in the Matou residence, the layout here is a standard European-style restaurant. The electric lights are abandoned, and a row of candles are placed in the middle, which is very stylish. Matou Sakura and several people living in this mansion Dining together.

"Sakura...why don't you eat? Do you think...the food doesn't suit your appetite?"

Sitting opposite Sakura was a black-haired man in a sweatshirt who asked very relatedly, and in her impression, it seemed to be Kariya Matou. When she came to Matou's house yesterday, she dismissed her adoptive father, Matou Tsuru In the wild, the person who is most passionate about himself.

"No...Uncle Kariya, I just, I just feel a little uncomfortable..."

Matou Sakura said with some embarrassment.

In fact, even though the strange voice is no longer heard, the fear like staring into the abyss has not subsided for a long time.

"Hehe, Sakura is still too nervous. Although it is said that you were adopted by Tosaka Tokiomi to the Matou family, the old man will still raise you as his own daughter. Please don't think too much, treat this place as your own daughter." It’s good to be at home, don’t be too restrictive.”

"Ah... um..."

Matou Sakura looked at the kind old man in front of her. Although she looked very scary from the outside, her limbs looked like a withered mummy, and her whole body seemed to have no muscles at all.

"Hmph, it's really hypocritical. It's just an abandoned pawn. Accepting the current life is what you, an ordinary person, should do."

After Matou Shinji finished the last meal on the plate, he still mocked Matou Sakura with that proud smile.

“…”

"Sakura, don't blame Shinji, his character is like this...Although he has no talent in that area, he can be said to be a genius in other areas." Matou Tsuruno said with a smile.

"Cough cough!"

"Sorry, I've talked too much... I'm full too, I'll let Shinji take Sakura to get acquainted with this place later."

After Matou Heye finished speaking, he left the restaurant. In the end, only Matou Zouyan was left on the dining table, she, and Matou Kariya, the scene became quiet after the adoptive father left, and there were only tableware in the entire restaurant The sound of collision...

As if... the topic about Sakura Matou just now was just an insignificant episode, not enough for people to remember.

"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have any daily necessities for Sakura at home. After eating, I will take Sakura to buy some later..."

"Well, thank you Uncle Kariya."

Matou Sakura nodded, watching Matou Kariya, who was concerned about her, leave, and involuntarily, Matou Sakura turned her gaze to another person present besides her.

"It seems that Sakura is still not used to the life here... She didn't even eat breakfast or even eat a bite, which made the old man a little strange, even if she didn't have an appetite, she wouldn't It will be like this, you should eat more or less...or should I say..."

Matou Zouken supported his chin with dry hands, looked at her with empty eyes, and then looked at the unmoving breakfast in front of her: "Did you see something that you think you can't eat?"

!!!

Matou Ying suddenly became stiff, although even she herself didn't know why she suddenly became like this, it was like a conditioned reflex...

"Hehe, it seems that the old appearance makes Sakura feel scared... But there is no way, people are old and useless..."

Matou Zouken smiled on his withered face, and looked at her with his dry eyes, even though he wanted to be kind, but in Matou Sakura's eyes, it was strange.

"No..no, Grandpa, I just..."

Just when she was about to explain, Matou Zouken suddenly interrupted her.

"The basement, Sakura, have you been there..."

“…”

The heart that was a little relaxed at first raised his throat in an instant, just like a child who had done something bad was discovered by his parents.

Why.. grandpa would know...

Matou Sakura stared at the old man who seemed to have half stepped into the grave in front of her, and swallowed with some difficulty. She really wanted to ask why her movements were known, but perhaps it was because of her own personality, she was silent in silence. After that, she finally nodded nonuo.

"Sure enough... After all, the Matou family is considered an old mansion. Although many rooms have been refurbished, there are still some rooms that are vacant, or even unused. It was just used to store some insignificant waste, and Shinji was also afraid of that basement. The location was very remote, and it was normal to have reveries. As the same junior, Sakura felt a little scared when she saw the basement door. Some fears are normal."

Matou Zouken said in the tone of an elder comforting a junior, then picked up the crutch in his hand and stood up from the dining table.

"Let's go...Sakura. Since you're so scared...I'm old, I'll take you to see what's in that basement."

do not go..

Matou Sakura kept stopping herself in her mind, but she couldn't think of any reason to refuse, and in the end she just silently followed Matou Zouyan to the basement she just left.

Besides the silence along the way, there was only the sound of the crutches falling to the ground. Zouken Matou, who was walking in front, didn't ask why she went to the basement, and she didn't take the initiative to say anything. She followed the stairs to the passage door of the basement she had just come to.

Although she was a little afraid of the back of that door, compared to this, she was more afraid of the skinny old man next to her.

“…”

Are you going to open it..

Matou Sakura looked at the old man in front of her who opened the seemingly heavy iron door effortlessly, and the cold wind blew head-on from the back of the door, but when she followed Matou Zouyan in, there was nothing but a relatively empty space. No.

"Grandpa... is there really no one here?"

Looking at this empty place, Matou Sakura rubbed her eyes in disbelief, everything that happened before began to become a little illusory.

Now that I think about it, that voice is both familiar and unfamiliar...

She knows...she must know who the owner of that voice is...but no matter how much she thinks, she can't remember it.

"Oh? Why... Sakura would say that?"

Matou Zouken squinted his eyes, and asked Matou Sakura's question strangely.

"Just now I......"

Just now.. did I really hear something..

Looking at the basement where there is nothing in front of her, Matou Sakura originally wanted to tell what happened just now, but in the end she still didn't say it. Now that she thinks about it, it should be just her own fantasy. Now she has seen the basement. There is no so-called "that thing" in it, and there is no person imprisoned here. Everything is just my own fantasy..

"Feel sorry..."

Countless doubts were dispelled at this time.

In the end, it was just a subconscious fear of her leaving the Tohsaka house and coming to a new place..

"Hehe, it's understandable for children to be afraid of the unknown, as long as you untie it... However, the body is the most important thing... I will ask the servants to make a new one for breakfast."

Matou Zouken smiled kindly.

"Thank you, grandpa.."

Matou Sakura nodded, she didn't find any reason to stay here, and left the basement with Matou Zouyan after a while.

However, the moment Matou Zouken closed the door, she seemed to see an old figure standing where she was just now, looking at what should have been nothing below.

Is it... hallucination again...

"Sakura?"

“…”

Matou Sakura slowly squeezed out a smile, maybe it's just like what her brother said, now she has no other choice but to accept the current situation...

"fine..."

"Your wish, I heard..."

door closed—

Chapter 340 Who Are You?who am I?Who is she? (3)

The four seasons alternate, and now it is the time of winter.

Under the clear sky, Matou Sakura was sitting alone in the park, her eyes were fixed on the people frolicking back and forth in front of her. Compared to those crowds of her peers, she seemed a little lonely with no one around. .

Matou Sakura was wearing a purple dress, opened her small mouth slightly, exhaled slowly, looked at the white mist, without any expression on her face.

It's been...a year...

It has been nearly a year since she left Tohsaka's house and came to Matou's house, and although she was dispensable as an invisible person in Matou's house for this year, that seemed to make her Her terrified grandfather didn't do anything to her, just like what he said when he came to Matou's house a year ago, let her live a peaceful life not much different from ordinary people...

The only difference may be that she was not exposed to magic like her father...

But that's enough.

Matou Sakura looked at her little hands, even though she was familiar with the life of the Matou family now, she still couldn't forget the scene when she was sent away by her father.

The cruelty of the father, the helplessness of the mother... the speechlessness of the sister...

She has never had the right to make choices, only waiting for the fate of being chosen by others...

Everything is so natural, perhaps because of her father's dedication and pride in magic, as a daughter, she can only choose to obey like a commodity..

Perhaps, it is best for me not to have any intersection with magic.

While Matou Sakura was still lamenting what had happened in the past year, a young man in hospital clothes walked over with a smile on his face.

"Are you alone? Don't mind if I sit here for a while."

Although she was asking, the other party still sat beside her.

"..."

Jian Tongying raised her head and glanced at the young man who came to strike up a conversation. She didn't mind one more person sitting here, after all, the park didn't belong to her alone. Besides, a stranger suddenly came over...

Is it too strange?

Matou Sakura asked in her heart, although she was somewhat resistant to the sudden stranger, but sitting next to him always felt a little at ease.

It seems that I have some kind of connection with him. If I have to describe it, it is probably someone who will never harm me..

It's strange that even my family members, even my most respected father and mother never gave me such a feeling.

"..."

"..."

In order to hide her thoughts, Matou Sakura kept frustrating her small hands in front of her nervously, but the stranger sitting next to her kept looking at her without hesitation.

This made her feel a little hairy, and even a little flustered in her heart.

By the way, it shouldn't be far from the police station..

"Arnold...this big brother...have we met there...?"

Maybe she couldn't bear it anymore, she took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to ask the young man who had been looking at her.

"...I don't know. Speaking of which, are you trying to strike up a conversation with me? I didn't expect that I would be struck up one day, and by a little girl?"

The young man in hospital clothes said, holding his forehead with an expression of "the world is going down in Fuyuki City".

Sakura Matou: "..."

This person... how could he be so shameless! ?Obviously you came up to strike up a conversation with me, okay?

Matou Sakura looked at the person in front of her, but when her eyes fell on that smile again, she felt that she should go up and punch her.

"Hehehe, it's just a joke, don't take it so seriously, besides failure is the mother of success, if I see through this time, just try again next time, don't be discouraged."

"......"

While listening to the brazen words of the young man in hospital clothes next to him, Matou Sakura wanted to shift her gaze to her peers who were constantly playing around in front of her, trying to make him understand that she didn't listen to what she said.

Perhaps in this case, he might realize that he is very boring and leave on his own with interest.

"But it won't~, hehehe, besides, if you really don't want to hear what I'm going to say, you should have already left... instead of sitting here until now."

As if he had seen through his own thoughts, he spread his hands, and then smiled a bit meanly.

This point is not wrong, maybe it is really the peaceful life of this year that makes her feel satisfied, but because of her personality, there is no one among her peers who can talk to her, and she has always been the only one. .

"Are you satisfied with your current life?"
