Chapter 17: The Visitor at Night

When Zhao Mian returned to the palace mansion leisurely, this very lively place during the day was only left with the awkward red-clothed and white-haired servant on the roof to guard the surrounding environment, the whole mansion was very quiet, the red archers just glanced at Zhao Mian, and then disappeared into the night again to continue his own mission. Zhao Mian consciously lowered his footsteps and walked towards his room.

There were people in the room. Zhao Mian stood outside his room, sensing the steady breath of a girl coming from inside, and looked a little stunned - it was not the possible Sakura, but the existence of the sister who was Sakura, Rin Tosaka.

Zhao Mian didn't come back immediately after the matter was done, on the contrary, he and Ma Wei walked around this city called Dongmu for a long time, completely turning the terrain of this place into a complete tactical map, and left it in their own space bags. After all, you can't see some subtle places on the map, such as those small alleys that ordinary people usually use as shortcuts will not appear in the official atlas, but these places will always play some unpredictable role in battle, so as a qualified commander, you must take this kind of place into account in your own plan - at least to prevent the other side from using this kind of place to cause unexpected blows to your side.

Of course, Zhao Mian didn't plan to give too much advice this time, after all, these jobs should be what those masters who have the spell need to do, and this kind of thing is a major experience in their lives, and being done by others may affect their future development, so Zhao Mian is just doing some tasks to fill in the loopholes in the plan for them later- After all, he didn't actually need the so-called Holy Grail, and the reason why he came here was only because of the safety of a certain girl, both mentally and physically.

Rin Tosaka in the room breathes steadily, the interval is a little long, and the metabolism and other activities in all aspects of the body have begun to slow down, except for the fact that some of the muscles in the body are a little stiff due to falling asleep on the ground on the side, the girl's body is normal. Well, yes, she fell asleep. No matter what she was doing in Zhao Mian's room, but apparently she was sleeping peacefully in the room now, Zhao Mian thought about it, turned around and walked towards the living room.

In the wee hours of the morning, Zhao Mian was resting against the wall of the living room, and in an event like this, where a battle could take place at any time, no seasoned adventurer would go into a deep sleep, because you never know when something would break into your place, and then there would be a battle - if you were still sleeping...... I'm sorry then, but I'm afraid that when you wake up again, it's time for you to become a revenant.

"Puff puff. "The sound of slippers on the wooden floor. A man in slippers was approaching this direction, and judging by the sound of his footsteps, he seemed to be a little impatient—maybe someone in the house got up to go to the bathroom. Zhao Mian thought so, he was awakened from his light sleep by the sound of footsteps, and after careful distinction, he came to a conclusion.

But this is not the case, the owner of the footsteps did not go to the toilet, he stopped outside the door of the living room where Zhao Mian was, and then opened the closed door.

Perhaps it was Rin's delusion, she thought that time seemed to stand still for a moment, and the moment she pushed open the door to the living room and walked in, she saw a pair of eyes, maybe a pair of eyes that didn't fit, for Rin Tosaka, who had walked through the darkness all the way, it was like two searchlights, bright but not just bright. Time stood still at this moment, Rin Tosaka felt as if everything was stretched by some kind of force, some paradoxical scenes appeared in her eyes or in her mind, at that moment, Tosaka felt as if she had lost time, she seemed to have experienced a lot of things, but it was as if nothing had happened, all this forced her to close her eyes, and- After she didn't know how long it was, a voice came to her ears, maybe it was a little distorted, maybe for some reason it didn't make sense, but it freed Tosaka from the situation.

"Well, it's you. Zhao Mian looked helplessly at Rin Tosaka, who was in front of him with his eyes closed, and was enduring the various scenes in his mind, waved his hand, and used a holy light to let her walk out of her current state of repentance, "When I came back, I found that you were staying in my room, and now you have come back again, is there something wrong?"

"Well, it's a blessing. Frowning, with a bitter look on his face, Rin Tosaka shook his head fiercely, as if he wanted to throw out all the inexplicable things in his head, and the two ponytails hit each other in the air, to be honest, there was no practical value. She quickly noticed the problem herself, so she stopped shaking her head to no avail, and rubbed her temple with her hand, "Well, how was your harvest tonight?

"Found it, and made a big fuss in her lair, but the other party's life-saving tricks are really a lot, I'm afraid if we want to kill her at once, we need to make a good plan. Zhao Mian took out a bottle of mint honey tea from his space bag and handed it over, "Drink a little of this, it should make you feel a lot better." ”

"Well, that's the case. Rin Tosaka took the bottle handed over by Zhao Mian, took a small sip, and the slightly cool feeling made her shrink her neck, but her expression was clear, "So, why did you come back here so late, to be honest, Sakura is very worried about you, and she can't communicate with you well through the spell......"

"You don't want to ask this, do you?" Zhao Mian looked at the girl in front of him babbling about some inconsequential things, sighed, and said, "Just say what you want to know, don't talk about these things in a roundabout way." IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT CASTER, WHY DON'T YOU WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING WITH THE OTHERS? ”

There was a strange silence in the living room, and Zhao Mian looked at Rin Tosaka who was sitting in front of her, her hand tightly holding the bottle that Zhao Mian had just handed over - thank God, Azeroth didn't use plastic bottles, otherwise it would have been a drink.

"I ...... You're not a Heroic Spirit, are you?" Rin Tosaka, who was about to say something, hesitated a little at the moment he spoke, and finally asked something else, "Although I had this question yesterday, I didn't know until I told Archer today that you weren't actually a Heroic Spirit, right?"

"Haven't you already reached a conclusion on this kind of question?" Zhao Mian shook his head helplessly, "Don't say that these are useless, this is not the question you want to ask, just say the question you want to ask, say what you really want to ask." ”

I want to stop talking, such a word is very suitable to describe the current Tosaka, she only took a sip of the bottle, but the question she asked was definitely not what she wanted to ask, Zhao Mian could clearly feel what this guy wanted to ask, but the girl always didn't ask, maybe she was worried about something.

But in the end, after a period of silent silence, the girl drank the mint tea in her hand in one gulp, just like some people drink before doing things, she asked, "Sakura...... What the hell happened to her?"
