Chapter 762 Thank You Yukinoshita for Not Killing
In the real world, Moriya Shrine.

At the dining table in the living room, the magician lowered his head and drank the porridge calmly, while the girl sitting opposite was also silent.

The atmosphere seemed to be a little tense, so that even the morning light shining in from outside the window seemed to be frozen, and the floating dust seemed to be motionless, not moving at all.

There was neither conversation nor eye contact between the two, and the air was silent.

"..."

"..."

In the huge entire shrine, there are only the two of them at this moment, at least if you don't count the other side of the boundary line, which is on the other side of the shrine in Gensokyo, this is indeed the case.

The main reason is that the previous incident of the Great Holy Grail has not yet been resolved. In Xia Ran's inner universe, the world of Fate/Stay Night has already unfolded, and continues to develop along the vector of time.

Because of the sudden return, Xia Ran and Arturia were inexplicably disconnected during the land reclamation period, and two people in the whole team lost their money at once, and they were still very important leaders with top combat power. The overall strength of the entire team is reduced by more than 90.00%.

Well, that's right, the overall strength of Arturia and Xia Ran accounted for [-]% of the entire team...

Although, in fact, removing Artoria does not affect anything. Whoever and Xia Ran's overall strength add up to this ratio. The principle is that the addition of anyone's assets and Ma Yun's father's assets can defeat the nine in the world. Like all the rich people above...

But in any case, this is a very unfriendly development for the rest of the people who are still trapped in the Holy Grail. After all, the weight of all evils in this world is incomparably heavy. weight to defeat the enemy—

Then, if the concept of the evil in this world is made into a conceptual dress, its power can even be equal to Xia Ran's most proud dress work at present, that is, "Shadow of Rungomigniad".

This thing can definitely become an existence like a handed down sacred object in the Fate world. What kind of servant of the heroic spirit, the ancestor of the dead, really come and die, and it doesn't work how much you come.

So, thinking of other people who are currently trapped in the vortex of the malicious power of the Great Holy Grail, even if Xia Ran said that everything is under his control, it is not a bad experience, even if it is the worst situation, The spells he set up in advance will also protect their safety...

However, that being said, Arturia was always worried, she had to go in and break through that dungeon again, protect them, and save Irisviel by the way...

——Although Xia Ran always felt that the "by the way" she said was actually the most "main" purpose, but there was no way to refuse Artoria's request, so she could only agree and send the other party into her Go to the inner universe world.

And Ouyang Mingzhu happened to hear about such a thing, so she immediately volunteered to sign up enthusiastically, hoping to participate in it.

Although it was a temporary idea, Miss Ouyang actually had her own ideas.

The teacher's teacher, the teacher's younger sister, the teacher's friend... This is a great time to build relationships!Must be caught!As long as she succeeds, she can blend into the teacher's world very naturally.

God help her too!

Well, that's basically the case, so now there are only two people left in the shrine in the real world, Xia Ran and Yukinoshita.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but the atmosphere between the two did not change, it was as stiff as if it was about to freeze, dull, empty, and cold, that was the air that Xia Ran had felt many times.

It's been a long time...

Unknowingly, his thoughts drifted to the time of yesterday that only existed in his memory, and the magician exhaled lightly.

Although he was a little nostalgic, he didn't want to relive this feeling at all. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he didn't seem to have any good solutions. After all, what happened in his room this morning... emmmmm... …

Obviously he is very honest, and the relationship with Mingzhu is purely a teacher-student relationship, but Yukinoshita doesn't seem to trust him very much.

"Okay, I'm done eating... Yukinoshita-san, see you later."

Trying to pretend that nothing happened, Xia Ran, who felt quite a headache, put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, clasped her hands together and said something, and then she was about to stand up.

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

The long straight black girl opposite did not raise her eyes, but asked a question indifferently.

"Go to school, after all, it's already this point now..."

The magician seemed to be a little confused, he coughed lightly, raised his fist to his mouth, cleared his throat, and then said: "You know, I've always loved learning, and I've been strict with myself all the time... ..."

"..."

"..."

The girl frowned slightly, and finally raised her head to look at him: "Going to school? At this time?"

"...Yes, is there any problem?" Xia Ran nodded again and again, as if he didn't know what the problem was. In order to confirm his precise grasp of the time, he also rarely looked at the wall clock on the wall.

This thing is purely a decoration. I don't know when it started, but it has lost its meaning, because basically no matter what time, no matter whether there is anyone in the family, no matter who it is, they will never cast their eyes on this thing.

Even Yukinoshita Yono, who often comes over to eat and drink, often gracefully raises his wrist or takes out his mobile phone when he needs to confirm the time, probably never noticed that there is a wall clock in this hall.

If the wall clock could think and have a soul, it would probably be very annoying.

This is simply a deep insult from the soul level, insulting its meaning of existence...

That's right, that's right, this is the point...

Xia Ran glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and then looked at the sun outside the house. According to the altitude and azimuth angle of the sun, he substituted the local latitude and longitude, and confirmed the most accurate time again. By the way, he also calculated the error of the wall clock.

Tsk, there is still an error, what a waste, it is useless at all, throw it away...

Just when he was thinking about it, Yukinoshita Yukino pouted slightly, but still frowned: "Are you serious?"

"..."

"..."

Um?Why do I feel that I am not serious, although I really want to slip away first, but this is also my daily action plan.

Xia Ran turned around suspiciously and looked at the tall, straight black girl with a good appearance. She couldn't understand what the girl was thinking... Could it be that Yukinoshita wants to go to school with her?

Although the space here at Moriya Shrine is connected to the high-end apartment where Yukinoshita Yukino lives alone, but the two of them went to school separately before, mainly to avoid some troubles, and don't want anyone to gossip at school...

Of course, the more important reason is that the girl is too thin-skinned, and she deceives herself into thinking that there is no special relationship between the two parties.

So, she has figured it out now?Or did you take the initiative to make changes because of a sense of crisis?Thinking about this, the magician blinked his eyes, and coughed softly again: "Do you want to come with Yukinoshita?"

"..."

"..."

"Are you serious?" The girl's eyes became a little suspicious, "It's still summer vacation, what are you doing at school so early in the morning? Did you make an appointment with someone? Is it Kato-san, or some other girl?" ?”

"..."

"..."

"Summer vacation?" Xia Ran realized belatedly, "Hey, are you still on summer vacation?"

"...what do you say?"

The girl glanced at him, lowered her shoulders slightly, as if she was relieved, and also let out a sigh that couldn't be softer because of a headache.

She, who was still subconsciously alert just now, suddenly found that this guy seemed to have just sincerely forgotten the specific date and time in the real world, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, and even the previous annoyance seemed to fade a lot at once.

"...It seems...It seems to be the same..." The magician thought about it carefully, and found that he was really confused about this point. It seemed that although the holiday was coming to an end, it was indeed not over yet.

He retracted his gaze and turned to look at the girl across from him. He also found that she was not wearing the same uniform as the other girls today, nor did she have the iconic mini plaid skirt and black stockings with white edges. Red bow ribbon outside.

And wearing a light and plain dress with a ribbon under the chest, giving people a softer feeling than usual...

Well, the shoes are also high-heeled sandals without belts. I didn't notice it at the first time. What a mistake...

"What are you looking at?" Yukinoshita Yukino softly reprimanded her slender legs shrunk under the table with some embarrassment. The man suddenly looked thoughtful, with his hand on his chin thinking, and Take a good look at yourself.

If that's the case, that's all. After scanning his body one by one, he bent sideways, as if he wanted to see what shoes he was wearing.

Who is like this? !It's normal to look at others, but his behavior is really too rude!

"Look at you..." Xia Ran replied naturally.

"..."

"..."

Silently clenched the knife and fork in her hand, the girl felt very complicated for a while, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry, but the subconscious impulse to stab the other party was very clear in her heart .

Seemingly aware of the sense of crisis, Xia Ran hurriedly sat upright, but he still noticed that the dangerous eyes of classmate Yukinoshita were sweeping around him, as if looking for a place to attack.

Why hasn't he calmed down, and looks even more annoyed...

Unconsciously, he hesitated for a moment, but still showed a harmless smile, and explained again kindly and cautiously: "Actually, Mingzhu is really just my student..."

Although he had already explained it many times in the morning, even when the girl was making breakfast in the kitchen with a cold face, he said it many times around the other party's body.But it seems that the effect is not very good.

"...I know, you've said it before, so there's no need to say it again." Yukinoshita Yukino replied coldly, without putting down the knife and fork in her hand.

This man simply missed the point!
Students, students, even if they are students now, who knows if they will be in the future!

And why are there so many? She originally thought that Gensokyo alone was enough to touch her nerves, but she didn't expect...

So, is this person planning to tell himself in a few days that he even has a child? !

Don't talk about this?Then what should I say... The magician had a headache. He quickly used his brain and thought about it, and finally remembered one thing that could be used to divert the girl's attention, which was to cause Yukinoshita to have a big problem today. He ran over in a panic a long time ago, so much so that he broke through the adultery...

Ah bah, so that there were some trivial misunderstandings-a strange long dream she had "last night".

"Student Yukinoshita... let's go for a walk, I have something very important to tell you..."

Just glanced at the bright silver knife and fork in the girl's hand, Xia Ran felt that it would be better to leave here as soon as possible, because Xue Shixia could not keep holding such a murder weapon.

So let's go out and talk, we have to change the environment and let her put down the knife and fork.

Ok?
Have something important to tell yourself?
Obviously stunned for a moment, the girl on the opposite side met his eyes directly, her soft lips kept slightly open, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her big eyes shook a little uneasily.

Is this person finally enlightened?

"……Can."

After a long while, she exhaled both as if hesitating and as if confused, and nodded heavily. Then, as if trying to cover up, she revealed her usual indifferent expression, quickly brushed her long hair, and stood up .

……

……

The shrine on the top of the mountain is located on the shore of Fengshen Lake, which is a transit point connecting fantasy and reality.

At the same time, it is also a famous scenic spot in Chiba City, because the scenery is just right, just imagine——

The majestic main hall of the shrine is located on a high place, and the torii is located on a lower place. The approach to worship is a climbing path, paved with square stone bricks, and there are rows of imperial pillars standing on both sides.

On both sides of the mountain road, there are patches of maple forests. The scenery is quiet and beautiful, even if it is not autumn, it is eye-catching.If it comes to autumn, the maple leaves all over the mountain will fall one after another, and the red will be deep and thorough, and the whole mountain will seem to be burning.

Therefore, Moriya Shrine has always been a well-known scenic spot in Chiba City. After all, modern cities are very expensive, and there is such a natural scenic spot in an area close to the city center, which of course will attract people's attention.

It's a pity...

The gradual loss of faith in modern people is a general trend, so even though there are many worshipers at the Moriya Shrine, there is simply no power of faith that can be collected for the two gods.

Rather than saying that the people who visit the shrine are believers, it is better to say that they are tourists. They just go up the mountain to see the scenery. The nature is similar to that of going to the park. Even visiting the shrine is just incidental——

Burning incense in temples and kowtow to Buddha, most of the modern people are like this. In fact, they don’t have any unrealistic expectations at all, they just want peace of mind.

This kind of formalism is just going through the motions, and there is no belief in it. Therefore, although many people visited the Moriya Shrine in the past every day, tourists mainly came to see the scenery and relax. Visiting is nothing more than Just a piggyback giveaway...

Although they contributed a lot of incense money, the Moriya Shrine family has a great career, and what is lacking has never been money, but a solid faith.

If possible, they would even rather spend money to buy beliefs...

That's it, because the situation is getting worse and worse, Moriya Shrine finally plans to completely abandon the basic market of the outside world and move into Gensokyo.If Xia Ran hadn't accepted the basic outside world of Moriya Shrine, then the existence of Moriya Shrine would disappear from the entire outside world, and the gods would disappear.

Moreover, Suwako and Kanako's plan is to move the entire shrine, including the Fengshen Lake, away from the material world, and away from people's memories.

At that time, no one would know that the downtown area of ​​Chiba City had such a lake and mountains, and such an ancient shrine... Even if someone is too inspired and passes the immunity test, in the face of the cruel " When it comes to reality, it is inevitable to have self-doubt.

And after the magician took over the external foundation of the Moriya Shrine, and took part-time job as the gatekeeper of Gensokyo by the way, he also made a patch for this situation.

Moriya Shrine has no hidden spirit, nor has it disappeared in Chiba City. It is still a famous scenic spot in many people's hearts.

But no one will come to harass again. The main reason is that the whole city has been set up with hints, so that many people will be affected unconsciously. That is to know that there is such a place, but always because of various reasons And no way to take action.

——Maybe because I thought about it, I felt that I didn't want to go out, so I gave up the idea...

——Or just arrived at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly remembered something urgent, so they could only leave in a hurry...

In this way, we can screen out most of the people who are not necessary at all, and who are purely tourists who come to travel and see the scenery, so as to ensure the tranquility and tranquility of Moriya Shrine without being affected.After all, the reason why Xia Ran agreed to guard the gate was because it was an idle job.

Rather than preparing to open attractions...

Directly opposite the shrine, on the lakeside of Fengshen Lake, there are also a large number of imperial pillars, and the pure white imperial coins hanging from the shimenawa rope swayed one by one in the midsummer breeze, as clear as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky. There were also ripples on the surface of the lake.

The scenery is really quiet and beautiful.

Against such a backdrop, the magician was in high spirits, gesticulating, and explaining to the expressionless girl behind him——

"... That's it. The dream you had was not a dream. I still remember a few years ago... Ah, no. Do you remember what I promised you last night? That's my answer..."

"That is a very interesting world. It is completely different from the fifth century A.D. in your impression. It is a world completely dominated by magic and mystery. You did live and study there for a whole year..."

"..."

"..."

This means you have something very important to tell yourself?
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the person in front of him blankly, and then looked around, as if to confirm whether there was anyone present, whether he should take this time to push this guy into the lake to drown...

But in the end, she just sighed a little as if giving up.
