893 Takamachi Momoko
Kaiming City, a tourist port in the eastern part of Japan.
There is nothing to praise about the city of Haiming itself, but on the opposite side of it, there is a beautiful island floating there.
- Hatsune Island!
Hatsune Island is about an hour's boat ride from Kaiming City, and the speed can be reduced to half an hour if you pass the bridge that is being built in Guò, which is currently under construction.
Hatsune Island is beautiful, and legend has it that the cherry blossoms on this island never faded throughout the year, and in the middle of the island there is a huge cherry tree that has been said to have existed for more than 100 years.
As long as you make a wish to this cherry blossom tree, then ** can be realized.
Legends are just legends after all, after all, the cherry blossoms on Hatsune Island only bloom in certain seasons, and the legendary cherry blossom tree is facing the dilemma of being cut down.
This is the information that Shirou gathered after arriving in Kaiming City, and on the first day of his arrival, he traveled to Hatsune Island and inspected the legendary cherry blossom tree.
There was indeed a very powerful magic left on the cherry blossom tree, but for some reason, Shirou couldn't get it out, as if something was holding him back.
On the first day, there was nothing but a little information.
But Shirou was not discouraged, and when he returned to Kaiming City, he walked back to the hotel while calculating the possibility of reopening the cherry blossom trees.
I don't know why, but there are tourists who go to Hatsune Island every day, but there is no inn on Hatsune Island, and all tourists can only return to Kaiming City after playing. On the second day, we will continue to enjoy the scenery of Hatsune Island.
Some. It's so quiet.
Walking room. Shirou suddenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
At this time, it was the peak season for Hatsune Island and Kaiming City, and the gorgeous cherry blossoms brought much to the economy of the two cities, but now, there is not even a single person on the streets, and not only that, but the shops on both sides of the streets are also closed at the moment.
Problematic!
Shirou is not a nosy person by nature, but has been taught by Emiya Kiritsugu over the years. But it still made him develop the habit of helping others, this habit is very bad, Shirou understands it very well, but if you want to correct it, it is absolutely impossible without ten or twenty years of hard work.
Forget it, for the last time.
Thinking so, Shirou turned his head and ran in the direction where the magic in his perception was most distorted.
Through his magically strengthened limbs, he ran faster than the speed of sound, and a few seconds later, there was a whistling. Shirou appeared on the scene.
In front of him, a Dead Apostle from nowhere is preparing to attack a high school girl. If Shirou didn't appear, he might have succeeded, but in front of Shirou, even if the true ancestor came, Shirou would have the confidence to force the other party back.
"Die."
Stretching out his hand, he didn't even use magic, and just relied on the martial arts he learned from Emiya Kiritsugu, Shirou easily killed the dead apostle.
Dead Apostles leave no trace, they turn into sand, and then weathered and disappear into the heavens and the earth.
This is the end of the immortal species, but Shirou didn't care about this, there are not a few immortal species he has killed over the years, and he will naturally not put it in his eyes if he is just a dead apostle.
It was the girl who had been attacked by the Dead Apostles......
The magic power is almost catching up with Sakura.
Not paying attention to the girl's frightened gaze, Shirou just squinted his eyes while taking out a gem from his pocket, "Hey, this is for you, remember to wear it by your side, so that the dirty thing from before won't come to you." ”
After throwing the jewel to the girl, Shirou turned around and tried to leave, but before he could take a step, the hem of his clothes was grabbed by the girl.
Turning his head and looking at the girl behind him, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Thanks, thank you for saving me." The girl raised her head with a grateful face, "Mom and Dad said that in the face of the benefactor, you should express your gratitude." ”
"You're welcome, I've already felt your gratitude, now, can I go?" Shirou nodded, the girl's heart was not bad, and it was not in vain that he sent a gem that could release A-grade masking magic.
Pity......
"Wow! Please, please don't go! The girl's words made Shirou frown slightly, but then he understood what the other party meant, "I, I don't dare to go home alone." ”
"With this gem...... Forget it, where is your home, I'll send you back. ”
In fact, it's okay to leave, but with Shirou's tutor, he has no way to let go of the girl and leave alone, sighing, and in the end, Shirou still chose to compromise.
"Great!" When the girl heard this, she immediately burst into tears and laughed, "My family is in ......"
The girl's home is actually not far from here, but perhaps because of the relationship that was frightened by the previous Dead Apostle, the girl never dared to stay away from Shirou's side, until she reached the door of the house, she let go of the hand that grabbed the hem of Shirou's clothes, and said with a shy smile, "Thank you very much." ”
"You're welcome, if there's nothing to do, I'll go."
Shirou turned around again, and then, he was caught again.
"Anything else?" Turning his head and looking at the girl with a squirrel-like expression, Shirou wanted to get angry, but finally sighed, "This girl, what the hell do you want to do?!" ”
"Mom and Dad said that in the face of the benefactor, we should be grateful."
The girl repeated the previous words, which sounded meaningless to Shirou, "I see, so can I go?" ”
"No, no, no! Mom and Dad haven't thanked you yet. ”
"......" It wasn't until this time that Shirou really understood what the girl meant, and it turned out that the thank you she was saying was even counting her parents, "It's up to you." ”
Shirou is also helpless, the girl in front of him always feels a little too silly, is there really no problem with this?
didn't make him wait long, and soon, the girl's parents appeared in front of him, different from the girl's innocence, this pair of parents who have great power in the watch world, after hearing that Shirou saved their daughter. His face changed immediately. And he didn't give Shirou a chance to refuse. Stunned, he pulled him closer to the room, and made a hearty dinner to thank him.
Shirou had nothing more to say about this, thinking that he was about to finish eating anyway, and it would be the same if he ate somewhere.
At the dinner table, Shirou learns the girl's name, Takamachi Momoko, and Takamachi Momoko's parents learn that Shirou is now staying at an ordinary inn. Without saying a word, they immediately ordered the servants to prepare a guest room, and in their words, Mr. Shirou was the benefactor who saved the little girl, and it was not too much to give him a thousand dollars, let alone such a trivial matter as preparing a place to rest.
How could Shirou really not understand the thoughts of Takamachi Momoko's parents, the high-level of the watch world naturally knew something about the inner world, and now he finally met a strong man. Naturally, I am trying to get on the knot, for this. Shirou didn't refuse, the cherry blossom tree on Hatsune Island, if he wanted it to bloom again, Shirou still needed a lot of materials, and if he collected it himself, three months might not be enough.
But if Momoko's parents are willing to help......
"Whatever Mr. Shirou says, at most a week, these materials will be placed in front of you."
Takamachi Momoko's father is really a smart person, Shirou just mentioned this, and the other party immediately agreed, and Shirou is not a person who has to make inches, after getting the other party's assurance, he proposed to teach Takamachi Momoko magic.
Shirou's mention yì naturally has the full support of Momoko's parents in Takamachi, and isn't it just to give their daughter power by stammering Shirou like this?
"I said in advance, because of the family, I can only teach her the most basic magic, and those advanced magic tricks can only be studied by herself."
Even though Shirou said this, Takamachi Momoko's parents were still grateful to Dade, although the high-level of the watch world looked beautiful, but they knew their own situation, and the high-level assassinations were repeated one after another, how to explain? Isn't it because they don't have the power of their own?
Momoko's parents didn't want to let Momoko follow their old path, and they knew about the dark side of the world, but they didn't want Momoko to have no power.
According to Shirou, the magic of peaches is very strong, and magic is the favorite thing of the strong, and if Momoko is caught, the scene after that is unimaginable is unimaginable.
In order to protect their daughter, Momoko's parents in Takamachi can be said to have spared no effort.
So, at the cost of Shirou teaching Takamachi Momoko, Takamachi Momoko's parents provided Shirou with a place to rest and the materials he needed, and such a contract was completely established.
Over the next few days, while waiting for the materials, Shirou first transformed the gem in Takamachi's possession to give it more powers, and then taught Takamachi Momoko many of the basic magic techniques he knew.
Enhanced Magic, Fire Magic, Freezing Magic, Cursed Magic......
Shirou has learned a lot of magic, and when he reached the root, in addition to getting correction magic, the most is actually the acquisition of magic.
Takamachi Momoko has not lived up to her parents' expectations, and her magic talent is definitely excellent even if it is placed in the clock tower of the magician's home camp.
In just a few days, she has thoroughly learned the magic taught by Shirou, although there is still a distance from being completely proficient, but if she faces the Dead Apostles that day again, with the gems that Shirou helped transform, she already has a seventy percent chance of winning.
"I've taught you everything I can teach you, so as long as you practice well, with your talent, it shouldn't be a problem to grow into a great magician."
After the magic class on the last day, Shirou said to Momoko Takamachi. Shirou's materials had been delivered two days earlier, and now, having completed the contract, he was finally able to give it a go.
"Thank you, Shirou-sensei." For Shirou, Momoko is naturally very grateful, "Speaking of which, Mr. Shirou, what did you come to Haiming City for?" ”
Momoko admits that she is actually full of curiosity about Shirou, who is obviously younger than herself, but why can she have such great power?
After learning magic, Momoko can already feel the powerful power in Shirou's body, compared to him, his magic power is just a small lake, not even one percent of the other party, no, one thousandth!
"You don't need to know."
Faced with Momoko's inquiry, Shirou did not choose to answer. According to the customs of the magic world, Momoko can indeed be regarded as his apprentice, but Shirou did not plan to let her go deep into the inner world, how dangerous the magicians and the church on the earth are, he once followed his father into the church headquarters, but he knows it very well, and an 'ordinary' girl like Momoko, even if she gains extraordinary power, is just a rookie in front of those real magicians.
"M~"
Apparently, Shirou's answer made Momoko angry, and she puffed out her cheeks, and ignored Shirou for several days afterward. In this regard, Shirou didn't care, he went out early every day to bring materials to Hatsune Island, and he was busy until midnight before going back, although he had the love of master and apprentice, but Shirou and Momoko are not the same kind of people after all, maybe time will dilute a qiē, so that the two slowly forget each other.
It's a pity......
One day when he returned to Takamachi's house, he relaxed his vigilance because it was too late, in fact, he was not to blame, who would have thought that in the early hours of the morning, there would be girls hiding aside and peeping at themselves to change clothes, so a certain secret of Shirou was directly seen by Momoko.
It was a tattoo on Shirou's back, which had been on his back when he was discovered by Emiya Kiritsugu.
The three broken wings, golden, black, and silver, one wing and one color, were like the truth of the world, and the peach was deeply immersed in it.
And Shirou at that time didn't notice this, and by the time he found out, it was already too late......
Shirou, who repairs the cherry blossom trees on Hatsune Island every day, has laid out an enchantment around him as usual on this day, and his enchantment level is so high that ordinary magicians can't break it at all, even Sakura and Ilya can easily dissolve their relationship because Shirou taught them.
Now, peaches are added.
In addition to Emiya's family magic, Shirou, who taught Momoko all the magic he knew, would never have thought that the first person Momoko would use to deal with was himself......
Immersed in the restoration work, he relied too much on the relationship between the enchantments, and he didn't even notice the peach that was close at hand.
And Momoko, looking at Shirou working hard, couldn't help but show an intoxicated look on her face, and stepped forward, wanting to scare her teacher, she didn't know what her action meant.
On the other side, Shirou, who had repaired the cherry blossom tree to the last step, was about to complete the last step, but at this time......
"Guess who I am?"
- Boom!
In the next moment, the power inside the cherry blossom tree exploded, completely drowning Momoko and Shirou in light. (To be continued......)
