Chapter 292: Rin Tosaka
As soon as Zheng Shu fell asleep, he was woken up by something suddenly approaching him, turned his head to look at his arm, and sure enough, he saw Sakura Makiri, who was sleeping with his arm in his arms.
Zheng Shu's arms are thick enough, so Sakura Ma's hands and feet are all hugged on Zheng Shu's arms, like a koala hugging the trunk of a tree, and the appearance of not wanting to let go at that moment looks very cute.
Glancing out the window, it was still the middle of the night, and it seemed that the girl must have waited until he fell asleep before carefully touching it.
Zheng Shu sighed helplessly, but relaxed his breathing to prevent waking up the already asleep Kaki Sakura.
I was already very tired when I got home, but I still waited until now to find my room to sleep.
In fact, from the day after Zheng Shu rescued Sakura from Ma Kiri's house, Sakura would try to sleep on Zheng Shu's bed with a blank face. Even after being rejected by Zheng Shu, he would try his best to wait until night to run to his room.
In short, as time went on, Zheng Shu found that Sakura was getting more and more clingy to herself, and she felt like she was afraid that Zheng Shu would suddenly disappear in front of him.
Although the girl has maintained an expressionless appearance, Zheng Shu can still feel it.
Although Zheng Shu is very worried about this girl's psychological problems in the future, in general...... And not a bad thing.
After all, his main purpose in coming to this timeline is to be able to meet Medusa, and it would be a good thing to have a good relationship with Sakura before that. Although theoretically, the reason why Sakura was able to summon Medusa was because the two people had the same experience, so they were more compatible.
However, judging from the information of a game in the previous life, the probability of Medusa summoned by Sakura is quite large, even if she has experienced a different experience.
And in addition, Zheng Shu also has the guarantee of inhibition.
Although the "payment" has been paid in advance, the transaction has not been completed until now, so the "insurance" placed on the "payment" in advance has not been lifted.
If Sakura Maki was unlucky and didn't summon Medusa, Zheng Shu even suspected that the inhibition would directly find a reason to send Medusa down with another rank.
Because he didn't dare to wake up the cherry blossoms, Zheng Shu could only lie motionless on the ground. Fortunately, with his current energy, even if he doesn't rest at all for ten days and half a month, it won't have any effect.
Since he couldn't sleep, Zheng Shu simply continued to summon instant dough in his body while thinking about the strategy behind, and continued to convert material and magic power.
Although his combat power looks quite terrifying, and in terms of physical attributes, the spirit base has been filled with magic power and cannot go any further, but the two main "parts": the lion's defense and the god's armament, still have no tendency to be filled.
Every time a little magic power is added, these two "parts" will improve the effect a little bit, and Zheng Shu is now even a little curious about where the upper limit of his abilities in these two aspects is.
Because since he was summoned, relying on the ability of instant noodles that can be summoned endlessly and the ability of three generations to digest food, the magic he has filled in these two aspects may have reached the level of the Great Holy Grail.
However, even so, there is not much to say about the defense power of the lion who still can't see the upper limit, and the god's armament even only has a small part of the basic function.
The consumption of this kind of magic power even made Zheng Shu a little suspicious of his life - was the god weapon I made with the god of fire Hephaestus so strong?
Zheng Shu's feeling now is probably that he has always thought that when he and the fire god Hephaestus made the god armament, they were two people quacking and killing together, but now he found out that he was only in charge of quack, and Hephaestus was in charge of indiscriminate killing.
……
……
Zheng Shu maintained such a posture all night, and it was not until early in the morning that Sakura was awakened by the sun.
If the sleeping Sakura looked very cute, then when she opened her eyes, the feeling disappeared, as if the moment she opened her eyes, her soul was pulled out of this body, leaving only empty eyes.
"Sakura-chan, are you awake?" Zheng Shu looked at the waking up Kirizakura and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out his hand that had been stiff all night and touched her head.
"Berserker......" Sakura Makiri, who had just woken up, seemed to be a little stunned, but she woke up after reflecting Zheng Shu's face in her eyes.
But he didn't make any other moves, just sat on the bed and looked at Zheng Shu quietly.
Zheng Shu looked at the unresponsive Jian Tong Sakura and sighed helplessly, although she was much more active than before, but there was still a big gap with ordinary children: "Are you going out to investigate information today?" ”
That being said, every time Zheng Shu went out, he basically took the cherry blossoms around to play.
The reason why she did this is also because this little girl lost her own opinion after being devastated by the dirty inkstone, and almost never took the initiative to put forward her own opinions.
In the absence of other ways, Zheng Shu can only use this method to let her contact the outside a little more.
Sakura obviously knew this, but the nature of a child made her nod after a little hesitation, and then went to brush her teeth and wash her face under the guidance of Zheng Shu.
After going out, the residents of Fuyuki City continue to live as usual.
Although the explosion on the other side of the harbor last night was quite loud, it had been prevaricated by the fact that the Church controlled the press organization and used it for gas explosions.
In addition, there is also the news that the perverted murderer has been caught, and many children have been rescued to attract attention in front, so the residents of the entire Fuyuki City do not feel anything abnormal at all, and Fuyuki City is also maintaining the "nuclear level" as always.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Zheng Shu took Sakura's hand and asked, "Where does Sakura want to go today?" ”
Hearing this question, Jian Kiri Sakura hesitated for a moment, and then looked up at Zheng Shu cautiously: "Can I go and see my mother and sister?" ”
After finishing speaking, it seemed that Sakura had triggered some bad memories again, and then changed her words with a frightened face: "I said it wrong, it's Rin Tosaka and Aoi Tosaka." ”
Seeing this, Zheng Shu touched Sakura's head with some distress: "Did the dirty inkstone ask you to change your words?" ”
"Grandpa said I wanted to be if they didn't exist in the first place." When Sakura heard the name, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
"It's okay, that guy can't care about Sakura now, Sakura can call the two of them whatever she wants in the future." Zheng Shu touched Kiri's head vigorously, knowing that she hadn't fully stepped out of the shadows.
After hearing Zheng Shu's words, there was surprise in her eyes: "Really? Can I really see them again? ”
"Of course, you've already escaped from that house, so don't worry, I'll support you no matter what you want to do!" Zheng Shu continued to encourage.
"Can I do whatever I want?" Sakura looked a little dazed.
Zheng Shu smiled and nodded, and took Kirizakura's hand: "Of course!" Since Sakura wants to go see them, let's get up now, you should know which school Rin Tosaka attends, right? ”
……
……
Rin Tosaka has been a little irritable lately.
Since the start of the Holy Grail War, his father let him and his mother move to live at home in Chancheng for safety.
But for some reason, Tosaka Tokitomi didn't ask for leave from Tosaka Rin's school, so much so that Tosaka Rin recently needed to return to Fuyuki City to continue his school.
Luckily, the two cities are not far away, and it takes an hour to get there if you have a car.
But because of this, Rin Tosaka can learn all the progress of the Holy Grail War from the school every day.
Like today, she learned about the terrible accident at the port from the discussions of the people around her.
Gas explosions?
Only a fool would believe it was a gas explosion! Not to mention what kind of gas explosion can cause such huge damage, it is impossible for someone to lay gas pipes at the port!
Therefore, in the face of these fools around him who are easily blinded by the news, Rin Tosaka can't help but feel proud.
But then she fell into worry again, after all, her father was now entangled in such a terrible battle, but Rin Tosaka heard from her classmates that more than half of the containers in the port had been destroyed, and now the port was so badly damaged that it was even out of use.
Rin Tosaka, who already has a little bit of magical literacy, is quite clear about what such destructive power represents. From what she knew, if an ordinary magician wanted to cause such damage, he would need to prepare at least a large ritual that would last for months to achieve the same effect.
And such a battle took place on the second day of the Holy Grail War, and Rin Tosaka couldn't imagine how terrible the destructive power of the battle that followed would be.
A little mind filled with worries, Rin Tosaka walked towards the school gate worriedly.
Click......
The crisp sound of the turn called Rin Tosaka's attention back, and she was immediately wary when she woke up.
Because Rin Tosaka could hear it, the sound was the sound of the hands turning in the prop that looked like a pocket watch in her pocket, which her father called a magic needle.
It was a birthday present from her father, Toshitomi Tosaka, and she would detect the nearby sources of mana, and if she did, it would mean something she couldn't handle.
What's the situation?!
Who?
Is it deliberately approaching, or is it unintentionally passing by?
Although Rin Tosaka is still young, he has already shown a very high psychological quality. She continued to walk quietly towards the school gate, but one hand quietly reached into her pocket and held a few gems.
Now she didn't dare to take out her props to see where the enemy's specific location was, and if the other party just happened to pass by, she would probably be discovered by the other party if she behaved strangely.
With these thoughts spinning in his heart, Rin Tosaka quietly raised his head and looked around to see if there were any unusual people.
However, he didn't have much hope, after all, it was quite easy for a magician to disguise himself as a normal human......
Got it......
"......" Rin Tosaka fell silent, she didn't expect that she would find her target so easily.
Of course, the main reason is that the other party has no hidden meaning at all.
Right next to the school gate, stood an unusually tall and strong man. Although he was wearing ordinary clothes, his height of more than two and a half meters, which was completely beyond the normal range of ordinary people, still revealed his specialness.
Everyone who passed by him would look frightened, and both students and teachers would follow their biological instincts to subconsciously avoid the man.
However, because he was standing next to the school gate, it caused a crowd on the other side of the school gate, and there was even a slight crowding.
This......
Seeing this scene, Rin Tosaka's heart showed a bitter emotion, and the other party was obviously waiting here, which means that he was specifically looking for him.
After looking at the figure of the "enemy" and touching a few gems in his pocket, Rin Tosaka finally gave up the idea of resisting here.
After all, looking at this guy's figure and muscles on his body, even if he doesn't know magic at all, he is estimated to be able to carry the magic in these gems he carries.
What's more, the magic pointer also appeared, which meant that this person's body contained a large amount of magic power far beyond her limit, and it was basically impossible to escape even if she resisted.
Moreover, there are so many people here, if the other party's means are too fierce in the process of resisting, it is very likely to hurt other people.
So instead of spending your last resort here, it is better to wait for the other party to capture you and see if there is a chance to escape.
After all, the other party's purpose in arresting him must also be to threaten his father, and he will not put his life in danger in a short period of time.
In the flash of light, Rin Tosaka had already thought about so many things, and showed his calmness as a magician.
After making up his mind, Rin Tosaka quietly withdrew his hand from his pocket, grabbed the strap of his school bag with both hands, took a deep breath to calm down, and continued to walk forward pretending to be unaware.
But at this moment, Rin Tosaka found that a new crisis had emerged.
The school gate was blocked by a crowd, and the teacher who was in charge of controlling the order of school in the morning also found out the reason, it was the tall man standing aside.
Although he was surprised by the other party's tall stature, the professionalism of the teacher as a teacher still made the teacher make up his mind to walk towards the other party.
And Rin Tosaka was so frightened when she saw this scene that her heart was about to jump out, and she recognized that the teacher was their head teacher, who was usually serious and meticulous in his work.
If the head teacher goes up at this point in time and provokes the man, in case the other party goes crazy...... The scene of the ruined port, which the students had just heard on their way to school, came to mind before Rin's eyes.
As soon as he thought of that scene, Rin Tosaka's face revealed a look of horror, and he even wanted to rush up to stop the dean's behavior right now.
Unfortunately, she was so far away that the dean had already walked over to the unusually tall man.
Looking at the hand that the dean was outgoing to arouse the man's attention, Rin Tosaka's face showed a look of despair:
"It's over, it's all over, and there will be one more report of a gas explosion on the news tomorrow."
Rin Tosaka was so frightened by what she was imagining in her mind that she closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at the tragic scene again.
However, she waited a long time and found that there was no strange sound, so she quietly opened her eyes again, and was surprised to find that the unusually tall man not only did not get angry at the request of the dean, but scratched the back of his head very embarrassed, and then left the school very happily.
Could it be ...... Am I thinking too much?
Looking at the man's back as he quickly left, Rin Tosaka's face showed a look of confusion. However, until she walked into the classroom, there was no sign of any man.
Could it be that the other party really just stayed there by chance?
The young Rin Tosaka was puzzled.
On the other side, Zheng Shu, who was driven away by the school teacher, left the campus with some embarrassment, and after turning a corner, he found Ma Tong Sakura, who was sitting on a chair eating ice cream alone.
“Berserker?” Jian Tong Sakura watched Zheng Shu come back alone, and tilted her head in confusion.
"I'm sorry Sakura, I can't do this alone, after all, my size is too obvious, so the teachers are more vigilant. But I see your sister, let's come back after school, and the teacher won't kick me away when I take you with me. Zheng Shu said very apologetically.
However, unlike what he imagined, Sakura was not only not disappointed after hearing these words, but her eyes lit up: "Berserker, do you need my help?" ”
"That's right."
"Good!" Nodding expressionlessly, Sakura continued to eat the ice cream in front of her.
But I don't know if it's an illusion, Zheng Shu always feels that her mood seems to be a lot happier, and the evidence is that Sakura Ma's legs sitting on the chair began to swing involuntarily.
Sitting on the chair, Zheng Shu looked at the Kirizakura in his eyes, thought for a while and proposed: "Since we have to wait until the end of school, then let's take a walk around during this period and see if there is anything interesting." ”
"Okay."
Well...... Although his face was still expressionless, it was obvious that his legs were shaking more frequently, indicating that he was in a good mood.
Zheng Shu also smiled with satisfaction when he looked at Sakura's performance, as long as this continues slowly, one day Sakura will turn back to the appearance of a normal child.
Thinking of this, Zheng Shu recalled the Rin Tosaka he had seen before. I have to admit that although he is still relatively young, Rin Tosaka has already shown very careful thinking.
Of course, because of the limitations of age and knowledge, her thinking is also a bit naïve in Zheng Shu's opinion, but it still shows the high talent of Rin Tosaka.
From this point of view, Tosaka Shichen's two daughters are indeed one in a million geniuses, but it is precisely because of this that there will be a tragedy like Sakura Makiri.
After all...... Most of those magicians at the clock tower aren't good stuff.
Thinking about it, Zheng Shu's expression became gloomy.
(PS: I've crossed the Carvin, and I'll add it tomorrow.) )
