My neighbor is magical

Then he and Emiya Shiro disappeared into the bustling crowd early in the morning.Originally, Emiya Kiritsugu was sitting here with him, but his ridicule of "summoning his own son is really fantasy" made the other party abandon him and disappear.

Kariya lowered his head, almost sighing again.But before that, a tall figure came to him.The somewhat rigid pure black attire and calm demeanor made him guess who the other party was before he saw his appearance. "Yanfeng-kun? I didn't expect you to watch the fireworks too."

"I also want to take a break once in a while." Kotomine Kirei sat down on the other end of the bench, keeping a distance of less than one person from Kariya but not too close.Inadvertently seeing Kariya licking his lips, he passed the hot drink in his hand: "Are you thirsty?"

"Huh?" Kariya was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "You don't have to be so polite."

"Because I didn't expect to meet you here, so I just bought a cup for myself. As a patient, it is good for you to drink some warm tea." After speaking, Kirei was about to get up, "If you don't mind, I'll go again I'll buy you a drink."

"No need! That would be too troublesome for you." Kariya took the hot tea, "Anyway, we are all men, so there is no need to avoid suspicion."

Even though he said that, Kariya still avoided the place where the teeth marks were left, and put his mouth in another place, sipping lightly.The overflowing aroma of tea made him feel better, and the warm liquid did soothe his stomach.Putting the cup between the two of them, Kariya smiled and said, "So, did you have a good time at the festival?"

"It's okay." Kotomine Kirei didn't even raise his eyes to watch the fireworks.

"What, that unmotivated answer." Kariya tugged at Kirei's sleeve, "Look there, it looks like a colorful sunflower, isn't it beautiful!"

Kotomine Kirei still didn't look at the fireworks, but his indifferent gaze finally gained focus.

Kirei looked into Kariya's eyes.The purple pupils are so beautiful that they are almost monsters, and there is a smile blooming there.

It is clearly a mysterious and cold color, but why is the emotion contained in it so pure?

Kirei lightly caressed the slightly raised corners of the opponent's eyes.Kariya looked at him a little surprised, there was a slight water color in his eyes sparkling.

Stared at by the purple eyes that flowed with water, Kotomine Kirei felt a little thirsty.

Still stroking the opponent's eyes, Kirei picked up the cup with his other hand.

--and many more!

Matou Kariya slightly widened his eyes.The water marks I left on the rim of the cup were clearly discernible, but the other party who was watching me didn't notice it, and directly covered the marks I left with their lips.

Before Matou Kariya could get over the annoyance of not being able to remind Kotomine Kirei in time, he was completely shocked by the other party's next words.

"Not as beautiful as your eyes, Kariya."

--Eh?

——What is this? !Moreover, why even the name has been changed!

Kirei, who put down the water glass, lightly held Kariya's thin shoulders, pulling the distance between the two closer.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Kariya, whose body was gently fixed by the other party, watched Kirei's pure black eyes reach a position close at hand——

"Uncle Kariya, this is the goldfish caught by Sakura." The girl's voice broke the ambiguous silence.

A petite girl in a pink kimono slipped between the two of them from under Kirei's arm, and held up the plastic bag containing water and goldfish in her hand as if to invite credit.

Kotomine Kirei withdrew his hand, and returned to the sitting posture without a trace.The air that had been stagnant for a long time finally flowed again.

Kariya coughed lightly: "That's amazing, Sakura. Where's Shirou?"

"Uncle Emiya is here, Sakura can't stay there and disturb them." The girl stared at the water glass placed between the two men for a while, and finally sat on the other side of Kariya, "Besides, I'm afraid you'll be lonely .”

"Ha...it doesn't matter if I'm alone."

"How can it be? It's lonely to live alone, and it will be even more lonely in a noisy environment!" The girl suddenly suggested, "Why don't you try to fall in love? Or, when I grow up, I will be lonely." ..."

The excited girl suddenly silenced.She felt that she was locked in by the cold and cruel eyes, and her intuition made her feel the ferocious killing intent like a wild beast.

On the other side, Kariya smiled wryly without realizing it: "Don't talk nonsense. If that's the case, Tokiomi will burn me to death."

The feeling of danger disappeared, and the frightened girl shrank into Kariya's arms.She looked at Kotomine Kirei with somewhat suspicious eyes, and the other party looked back with calm and calm eyes.

Probably the onset of persecution paranoia.Matou Sakura, who could not feel any human emotions from Kotomine Kirei, attributed the moment just now to an illusion. "But you are not in good health, I am very worried. Where is your servant? Otherwise, get him back?"

"Forget it. That guy doesn't know how to take care of others, and he often sucks my blood." Matou Kariya looked disgusted.

"Don't worry, Sakura." Kotomine Kirei said suddenly, "I was entrusted by your father to take care of Matou-kun, so I will definitely not break my promise."

"But uncle often vomits blood, and you don't live in my house, so you can't be with uncle all the time...huh?"

The girl intuitively felt that something was wrong, but Kirei narrowed his eyes slightly.

The moment Kirei opened his lips, Matou Sakura suddenly said loudly: "But it would be too troublesome for you to come to my house, so please pretend that I didn't say anything!"

"Sakura...you really think too much." Kariya softly comforted, "The Matou family's magic is like this, anyway, it won't cause life-threatening."

Kotomine Kirei silently watched the interaction between the two.

Kariya, who felt that he was being watched, looked up.Bumping into Kotomine Kirei's eyes full of concern, he couldn't help smiling at the silent man in front of him.

Many unspeakable thoughts flashed under the calm surface like an undercurrent, and people who didn't realize it still enjoyed the simplest and purest joy in life.

But Matou Sakura's words still caused ripples in Kariya's heart.This fluctuating mood was unreservedly recorded by him on the letter paper.

[The most beautiful woman in the world only stayed in my life for a short time; moreover, she never belonged to me.

It's just that it's hard for me to look at other stars after seeing the brightest star.

My daughter said I should try a relationship.However, I am not qualified at all.Now I just want to make her happy. 】

Kariya Matou got a reply soon.

[I went to see the summer fireworks festival you mentioned earlier.Overall, boring.However, I still had a little fun.

And, please don't think about such boring things as "falling in love". 】

13. If my servant is in a daze ([-])

When Matou Kariya was proofreading the manuscript for the last time, a phone call interrupted his work.

Who's calling on a weekend night?If you are in a bad mood and want to talk... I don't have such a close friend.

Guessing in his heart, Kariya picked up the microphone. "Hi, this is Matou's house."

No reply.The other side of the receiver was so quiet that there was not even a sound of breathing.

Kariya frowned. "Hello……"

"It's incredible to be able to communicate with foreign countries so easily." The deep and soft voice of a medieval bard came into Kariya's ears, "I guess, to fully adapt to the 'modern society', I will need a longer period of time." time."

The moment he realized the identity of the other party, Kariya's face suddenly turned pale.

People who had disappeared from his life for a long time reappeared, and the past that Kariya Matou tried so hard to forget also appeared under the barrier of torn heart.Those bloody or dirty and dark images that Kariya used to cover up in the depths of his memory with ordinary daily life suddenly rose up and squeezed into his mind again, making him have the urge to vomit.

Kariya collected himself: "Lancelot?"

"Yeah." The knight paused, "Master, are you all right now?"

"Of course. After all, the greatest enemy has been eliminated. How are you doing in England?"

The Heroic Spirit on the phone let out a sad sigh. "This country is no longer the Britain I am familiar with. Moreover, I did not find the person I was looking for."

"Although I'm not sure who it is... but your old friend probably wasn't summoned as a heroic spirit?" Kariya reminded the other party.

"That's impossible. Unless all magicians in this world are blind and cannot see the bright traces he left in the long river of history."

"...Okay." After hesitating for a moment, Kariya still issued an invitation: "If you don't want to stay in a strange country, then you can come back."

Although Lancelot was a servant who fought alongside him, Kariya didn't want the knight to stay in Matou's house and appear in front of his eyes.

This feeling of repulsion was not aimed at the knight himself - although Kariya's headache was caused by his melancholy temperament and sometimes irritable character due to lack of magic power.

The existence of the purple-haired knight will remind Kariya of the past in the worm warehouse.

Lancelot also seemed to understand Kariya's mood. "If you don't mind."

"Of course not. As a master, if you can't give your servants a place to live, that would be too bad." Kariya tried to pull himself together, "Anyway, there is only me and my adoptive daughter at home. Your room is also... ...uh..." He suddenly fell silent.

"My room?" Understanding something from the master's hesitation, the knight let out a deep sigh, "You seem to be warmly inviting me back, but in fact you use my residence for him ?"

"No!"
