Chapter 228: Him and Her (Chapter 2 in One, No Change at Night)

In this way, she became a master.

Indeed, she is not a magician, nor does she have the qualifications to do so, and she can offer demons to her followers. But before she was summoned, she had already figured out how to solve it.

After the sΓ©ance is completed, the three spells are used up at one time, and all of them are used as energy to maintain the existence of his daughter.

The simpler the command, the better the effect, and although it can't solve the problem once and for all, the miraculous power contained in the spell is enough for little Jack to exist for a considerable amount of time without fighting.

And, there is another benefit to doing so.

The spell is gone, and as an ordinary person, she will not arouse anyone's suspicion. Coupled with the job skills brought by Little Jack as an Assassin, the breath of up to the A+ rank is blocked, and even if he passes by with other masters and slaves, he will not be discovered. (Except for Ruler's referrals.)

That's enough, because their purpose is only for their daughters to find their fathers, and they are not interested in fighting or something.

Thus, an even more anomalous pair of anomalous chalice wars was born.

The other masters and slaves have their own purposes, fighting for life and death, while the mother and daughter live their own small lives in peace.

Open shop during the day.

This is also the effect of dreams. In another world, I love to cook, and so does Little Jack, and the two even rent a shop in Tullyface. Although it was only a whim, despite three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, it did unexpectedly well.

Inspired by this, she also opened such a fast food restaurant in the old street near the church, firstly, to make her daughter happy, and secondly, to earn a little money as daily expenses.

As for the night, this is the most active and cautious time for the master and servant, and the mother and daughter are the most chic.

When you are tired, you can rest in your own small home.

Not tired, so I secretly went to the vicinity of Makiri's house to see what he was doing.

Sometimes it's mother and daughter together, sometimes it's just little Jack.

When the master and apprentice were in the civil war.

When rescuing Emiya's family.

When there was a scuffle in the suburbs.

The time of the Holy Grail Grand Prix.

They had been watching silently, but had not intervened, because it was not the right time.

Until the group duel after the end of the Grand Prix, Shinji was seriously injured after two consecutive battles, and was chased and intercepted by a group of monsters, and the situation was precarious.

She finally couldn't help it, let her daughter release the mist to save people, and explained the puzzle that had been prepared for a long time.

The results were, of course, pleased.

He slaughtered all sides and wiped out the mafia in one fell swoop. spoiled his daughter as much as he did five years ago, and finally successfully solved the puzzle and found the place that had a relationship with her, him, and his daughter.

Let's make the journey home together.

Watch her open the door, take out the men's slippers that she had bought a long time ago, say what she wanted to say a long time ago, eat dinner together, and drink tea and chat together after dinner.

Everything was like the other she had dreamed of.

This is the end of the story.

After speaking, the woman didn't say much, and silently looked at the strange and familiar young man in front of her.

The young man didn't speak, he lowered his head, looked at his teacup, and watched the ripples in the tea soup from time to time.

A man and a woman were silent, and neither of them spoke first.

I don't know how long it took, but the man finally exhaled and slowly spoke: "Lingxia, I-"

The voice was astringent, as if something was blocking it.

And rightfully so. No matter who you are, when you hear such a story and know that there is such a woman who is silently waiting for you in a place you can't see, and paying for herself, you will feel moved.

Although it was only a short fate of more than ten days, he didn't know why she was so obsessed with him. But he felt he had to do something to repay the offer.

The third magic is the power of the soul, the power of the heart, and the more you understand this, the more you cherish such pure and beautiful feelings.

However, before he could organize the language and say what he wanted to say, the woman stood up first.

"Alright, the story is over, you can go back if you have nothing to do. ”

"Butβ€”"

"But what? Do you have something to say to me? Don't be mistaken, I'm the sixth guide Lingxia, but not the sixth guide Lingxia you are familiar with. I've made it very clear that I'm just dreaming about it once a week, like watching a series. Maybe it's a little touching, but it's not the heroine, don't see us as a person, then I'll feel very distressed. ”

Shinji was speechless, this is indeed an irrefutable fact, just like he is not the older brother of another Sakura, and the Sakura on the other side is surnamed Edfeldt. Butβ€”

"What you did beforeβ€”β€”?"

"It's just fulfilling her dream. She wants to be a family with you, she wants Jack to be back with her dad, and I'm doing it for her. Now, my wish has come true, and I don't have to play her anymore. ”

The woman spoke calmly, and every word firmly blocked the man's thoughts.

"After thatβ€”"

"I guess there isn't much to cross. There is really no connection between you and me, you are you, I am me, you have your life, I have my life. You are a man of the moment in the mysterious world, and I am an ordinary office worker who has nothing to do with that world. I'll admit you're a good man, but there's a lot of age difference between us, and I don't like flowery guys. ”

"That's right. ”

Women speak so frankly, and men can't say anything, the same person in the parallel world is not the same person after all.

He picked up the sticky notes and pen on the side, wrote down two numbers, and handed them to the woman.

"It's my cell phone and home phone. Please don't say no, maybe you don't have anything to do with me, but you have with little Jack. Anyway, she treats you as a mother, and you've lived together for a long time, and no one can erase this time, so if you send your daughter to me, you won't recognize it yourself? ”

The woman stretched out her hand and took it: "I took it, my number will not be given to you, Jack knows how to find me." It's almost dawn, and your family must have a lot to ask you, don't keep them waiting too long. And, compared to me, the other twoβ€”"

"Two what?"

"Nothing. ”

At this point, the man could not stand up any longer.

"Well, since you insist on it...... Contact me if you have something, and I won't shirk if I can help. ”

"I'm a little tired, so I won't send it. Goodbye, Mr. Makiri. ”

"No send, goodbye, Lingxia - no, Miss Sixth Guide. ”

After saying that, Shinji walked out of this home that did not belong to him and gently closed the door.

After taking two steps, he looked back again, memorized the house number, and sighed softly.

"It seems that I am self-inflicted...... No, something seems wrong...... And that blue Rubik's Cube, how does it sound so like...... Forget it, with her attitude, even if she asks, she can't ask anything, so it's better to go back and ask Little Jack. Speaking of which, little Jack's distraction is ...... Doesn't that mean I went from one daughter to two?"

The young man who embarked on the return journey did not see that in the house across the door, the woman was holding a sticky note, staring at the place where he had sat in a daze.

I don't know that deep down in her heart, it is actually not as easy as he thought, and she still hides a lot of things.

The impact of dreams on her was much more than she could have said.

The sense of substitution is really a terrible thing, seeing the protagonist looks exactly the same as himself, with the same name, how many people will not be touched?

If it weren't for this dream, she might have gotten married and had children, knowing that she is 28 years old this year. At home, her parents, who adhere to Japanese tradition, have been urging her to get married, and finally had to move out of that house in order to avoid her parents' urging to get married.

Of course, it's not that she doesn't want to get married, and she has always been there on a blind date arranged by her parents and relatives. In all fairness, the blind dates arranged by the family are very good, and there are also elites and young talents with good appearance, family background, and personal ability.

But because of the influence of dreams, every time I see the object of a blind date, I will subconsciously compare it with that man, which indirectly leads to the end of every blind date. Even if you agree to a relationship, it will not last more than a month.

When little Jack appeared, the speed of the end of the disease became faster.

Because little Jack will say to Lingxia that this man is not good, he is not as good as his father here, he is not as good as his father there, and he is not as good as his father everywhere anyway.

At first, she would argue with Little Jack for a few words, and give up after a few times.

Don't try to compare with other men to compare with your daughter's father, because in her daughter's heart, your father will always be the most powerful.

This indirectly led to her being single, which led to her parents' urging to marry, which led to her moving out of the house, which led to her resignation and leaving Tokyo - well, the last two points don't really count, it was to take her daughter away from Fuyuki to find her father.

The workplace in Japan is different from most countries in the world, where overtime is the norm and taking time off is a sin. Although her job is relatively easy and luxurious, it is impossible to take the next long vacation.

After several unsuccessful requests for leave, she gritted her teeth and resigned directly β€” a good chance in Japan that would be equated with ruining her career prospects. Japan is a country with a pathological attachment to loyalty, where it is normal to dedicate one's life to one job, and quitting one's job is a big deal.

Because after resigning, you will be subjected to all kinds of hidden discrimination, the bank will not give you loans, and the pension system and insurance system will become more stringent. The threshold for re-employment will also become very high, much higher than that of inexperienced fresh graduates, because employers will think that you have some unforgivable flaws in the workplace, so you are "forced" to leave your job, which can be described as a restriction at every turn. Many people would rather commit suicide than quit their jobs.

Although the situation has improved since the collapse of the bubble economy, there has been more and more criticism of "lifetime employment", but the atmosphere and values accumulated over the years are not so easy to change, and she still has to take considerable risks in doing so.

Of course, with her personal abilities and innate intelligence, as well as the life experience she gained from her dreams, she can live well no matter where she is. She used her previous savings to open a store and rent a house, but since then, she has not touched a single deposit, relying on the profits of the store.

Even so, in the eyes of her parents, it was already a big event.

"What the hell am I going to do next? Can I really not care?"

She seemed to have lost all her strength and sat down on the couch.

The sticky note slipped down, but landed right on her heart.

What was she doing all this for, and what was her mood for that boy?

She doesn't understand.

"Really, like a fool. ”

β—‡β—‡β—‡

"Really, like a fool. ”

At the same time, in a different place, another woman who looked exactly like her was leaning back on the couch as if she had no bones, sighing.

She is the Shadow Ruler of Romania, one of the decision-makers of the Thousand Worlds Tree Clan, which is currently in the limelight in the magician world. After the real principal claims to be immersed in magic and appears less and less in front of outsiders, she becomes the sole ruler of the huge family.

It's hard to imagine that such a strong woman would show such a weak expression.

She held a blue Rubik's cube in her hand, which was somewhere between the unreal and the real, and glanced at it secretly from time to time, as if she was expecting something.

It was this unknown object that suddenly appeared in front of her and their eyes that gave them hope to go to another world, and she made a choice that seemed very ridiculous - she gave up and pinned her hopes on herself in the parallel world.

She could have taken her daughter to him like her best friend, but she gave up because she was happy in the parallel world and ruined this beauty.

The reason is also funny, compared with the unbearable and filthy self, she is still more suitable to be by his and daughter's side because she has never set foot in the dark. That's a truly happy family, just like she longed for when she was still the eldest lady.

"What the hell is going on over there, although Fiore said that she and her daughter had arrived in Fuyuki City, but she seemed to be concerned and did not recognize him. I knew it was a bit hard to do this, and it wouldn't be strange if she refused, but ...... I really hope to...... Even if it's not for me, it's for Jack......"

"Mom, I'm back. ”

The girl with short silver hair pushed the door open and walked in. A black blazer, a plaid over-the-knee skirt with the logo of the best private school in Bregast embroidered on the chest.

The woman looked up, her smile as soft as ever, "Welcome back, Jack." Why is it so early today?"

That's right, she's Jack, a girl who began to grow up after receiving meat, and has fully integrated into human society, a girl like a campus idol.

"Because we took a leave of absence. The girl put down her schoolbag, came to her mother, and took her hand to be coquettish.

Maybe it's because I've entered puberty and I'm starting to grow taller, and it's getting more and more difficult to fly into my mother's arms and rub around like before.

"What's wrong? Not feeling well?".

"How could it be. Even if I receive meat, I am a servant, not so fragile. We have something very important to tell Mom. ”

"What's important?" asked the mother with a smile, "is it my good daughter who is in love?" and let my mother guess which boy is so lucky, and which is the student council president who seems to be so good?"

"Well, it's not. The people at the school were a bunch of immature kids, not even Uncle Kaures. ”

"Uncle Corres will be sad if you say that. ”

"I won't let him know. The daughter squeezed her eyes narrowly, and her expression was very similar to that of someone when she was cheating someone, "I'm going to talk about Daddy - we seem to have met Dad over there." ”

The woman lying on the sofa shook her body and sat up: "How did you meet?" ”

"The specific process is not very clear, but I suddenly saw that my father was holding us and playing high, and I was very happy. ”

"yes, that's right. ”

The woman held her daughter in her arms, closed her eyes, and murmured softly.

My wish has been granted, and it's up to you, Fioret and Joan of Arc.

PS: What are two daughters, Mad Jack said that you have enough magic, a thousand daughters are fine.

PS2: Jack the Ripper of the Wild Rank has a Noble Phantasm called "Natural Born Killers", which is similar to the Noble Phantasm "Delusional Illusion", but the maximum number is more than ten times that of the Hundred Looks. Moreover, each of them can be used as the main body, and then continue to be a doppelganger (if the magic is enough) - so Baixiang, you are a shame, put your head up! By the way, you can lift dozens of human heads, it seems that you are still somewhat useful.

PS3: The workplace system in Japan is only for general employees (regular jobs), and part-time jobs are not counted. The really capable bigwigs, the upper echelons are not so restricted. Of course, the situation was much better in '17 or '18, but it was '04 and it wasn't that enlightened.

PS4: There is a real case of being too deep in the play, the actor Chen Xiaoxu (deceased), who played Lin Daiyu in the old version of "Dream of Red Mansions", has a lot of similarities with Daiyu's life trajectory - just like she said in an interview: "I have no acting talent, and my past life may be Lin Daiyu." ”。 Not only her, but many of the actors in the old version of "Dream of Red Mansions" are also in similar situations to their respective roles. You can say that the director's casting is good, or you can say that the actors are too deep into the play and are involuntarily affected.
