My neighbor is magical

Kariya quickly glanced at the ajar door.There are already piles of photographic equipment and easels behind the door, which is completely different from the appearance when the knights lived in the past. "Nothing, everything in your room remains the same. You just need to rest assured and come back. Speaking of which," he changed the subject with a guilty conscience, "who is the heroic spirit you want to follow? I can ask Other magicians may be able to get some clues."

"With all due respect, I'm not unwilling to open my heart to you, but someone like you who has no experience in love can't understand my complicated feelings."

"Huh?" Kariya was taken aback, "What you are looking for is King Arthur, right? What does this have to do with love?"

"..." Lancelot fell silent this time.

"As for me, I have also studied history. The only ones who can make you obsessed are the King of Knights and that... the woman who fell in love with you? If you are looking for that woman, it will be easier. According to As far as I know, there are very few magicians who summon female heroic spirits."

"No... Except for feelings, please don't talk about gender issues."

"Eh?"

"Actually," the knight sounded troubled, "even I can't be sure about this person's gender."

"Are you... are you kidding me?"

Defeat the killer of the Matou family, and transform the insect technique into a more normal form little by little.From then on, Matou's magic way will never become a nightmare for the successor again.

Kariya Matou, who had accomplished these things, thought that he would no longer be affected by the nightmares of his childhood.However, the night he received the call from his servant, he had a long nightmare.

The pale and thin boy walked towards the deep corridor, as if he was stepping into a bottomless abyss.He came to the worm warehouse filled with countless cold molluscs, and stepped into a place that was almost comparable to hell.

As the head of the family, Zouken Matou often finds girls with good magic circuits and throws them into the insect warehouse in an attempt to cultivate better successors.However, they all became bait for the worms, so that the worm pool was full of minced meat and broken bones.Even so, the swarm seemed never to be satisfied, and when they felt someone with strong magical power approaching, they swarmed up, and swept the young man into the depths of darkness with a devastating wave.

Learn magic from Zou Yan, and then throw yourself into the swarm and be bitten into a virtue that no one can bear to see.After leaving the worm bin, he used the magic power obtained at the cost of being eaten away by the imprinted worms to gradually repair the damage on the body surface.

This was Kariya's daily routine after he failed to escape.And the whole process was accompanied by severe pain as if even the internal organs were severely twisted.

It is probably no better to suffer soberly than to suffer in despair.The reason why Matou Kariya has not been completely numb is probably only because of the polluted desire for "freedom".

— must be free.If you can't escape the worm, then try to understand it, and then change or eliminate it.

Crawling out of the worm pond filled with greedy and evil things, the blood-soaked boy dragged his fragmented body and stood up.Standing in the darkness, he stared at the little white moonlight shining through the small window at the end of the corridor.That light was not much brighter than candlelight, but it was the only light that the young man could capture at this moment.

Carefully peeling off the broken nails stuck to his fingertips, the conscious teenager let out a sobbing sound, and then bit his lower lip unwillingly——

Matou Kariya suddenly sat up.After escaping from the nightmare, his whole body was cold, but his pajamas were soaked in sweat.

"What, I'm thinking of such an old-fashioned thing again." Covering his face with his hands, Kariya said in a low voice, "Although I compromised, I didn't fail."

Although Kariya is currently in charge of the Matou family, and has let go of his fear and hatred towards Zouken, those tragic scars engraved on his body and mind will not disappear easily.Because of those days, his physical condition became extremely bad, and an eternal shadow was left in his heart.

He has long been corroded by the virus and soaked in the blackness of the abyss—this is an undeniable fact.However, living in the real world, he also enjoys the taste of "freedom" in a sense.

Slowly raising his head, Kariya, who had calmed down a little, was frightened again.

Matou Sakura stood at the end of the bed, holding a ball of quilt, watching Kariya quietly in the dark.

"Little...Sakura?" Embarrassed by his gaffe, Kariya coughed a few times, "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

The girl tilted her head: "Aren't you the one who can't sleep because of nightmares?"

Ha... Could it be that he called out in his sleep so that he woke up the other party?Kariya, who was thinking like this, felt an emotion called "shame" welling up all over his body.

At the same time, the girl climbed up from the other side of the bed and wrapped herself in a quilt. "Judging from your voice, it should be a terrible nightmare. Then, let me lull Uncle Kariya to sleep. It happens that tomorrow is the weekend, and I don't have to go to school."

"Uh, thanks. I'm fine."

"Then, let's just chat." Matou Ying put away the quilt and wrapped her small body tighter, "Although I don't know why...but I always feel that if you leave it alone, you will definitely not Sleep well."

Kariya looked at Matou Sakura in surprise.

Indeed, dreaming about that kind of thing made it impossible for him to fall asleep peacefully tonight.But he didn't expect that this immature girl was so sensitive.

—and cared so much about himself.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly in relief, and Kariya lay down beside the bed. "So, what would Sakura want to talk about?"

"Hmm... I want to know what kind of person your servant is."

"He is a very good knight. Because of the love and blessing of the fairy in the lake, he has quite good sword skills and a treasure that is not inferior to his master. And he is also good-looking," Kariya added He said, "It's no worse than that pair from Wei Gong's family."

"Sounds amazing!" the girl exclaimed.

"Indeed, but he needs a lot of magic power. In order to support him in a duel with a foreign magician's servant, all the magic power in my body was emptied. And, what about him..." Kariya thought for a while Think, "A little bewildered."

"Eh?"

"Anyway, he will be back soon. At that time, you will be able to experience it for yourself." Matou Kariya stared at Matou Ying.

The girl's bright eyes shone with crystal light in the dim room, so pure that there was no filth.

"Before, I thought that I was the one who saved you who was neglected at Tohsaka's house." Kariya murmured to himself, "But now it seems that you might be the one who rescued me from the abyss."

[Although I don't understand why you are so disgusted with the word "love", I really have no intention of falling in love.

The child who will become my adopted daughter must be taken good care of.For the time being, I can think only of matters relating to her alone. 】

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

As long as you protect Sakura—this is the wish of Kariya Matou, whose body was corrupted by nightmare magic and his body was twisted, but he still wants to live like an ordinary person.

However, what Master Matou didn't know was that this girl who had established a deep bond with him in a short period of time also silently made a wish.

Together with Uncle Kariya, he will reform the insect art and become a qualified heir.After that, you have to protect each other.

Matou Sakura, who is very aware of the descendants of magicians, made up her mind after realizing that Kariya often coughed up blood secretly but didn't want to worry herself.At the same time, she also felt a little dissatisfied with Kariya's followers.

If the heroic spirits summoned by the master from the phase can stay closer to the master, the master who is responsible for providing the magic power will not have to work too hard.But that knight left his master and ran to the other side of the earth!

——Although Kariya himself acquiesced to this.

Sakura Matou opened the door after returning home from school.The suitcase placed in the entrance reminded her of Kariya's soon-to-be-returned servant, but the women's shoes neatly placed behind the suitcase made her stunned.

What about the tall and handsome knight?

Disappointed and curious, Matou Sakura ran towards the source of the conversation.

That room used to exist like a warehouse, and the erected easels filled the gaps of many photographic equipment.But now, in the room warmed by the bright sunlight, there are only two tall easels left.

Noticing the Japanese-style long skirt exposed under the drawing board, Matou Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to herself: "It turns out that Mr. Knight hasn't come back yet. Let me just say, how did the knight in the lake turn into a girl."

A short laugh came from behind the easel.A young woman poked her head out, her shoulder-length black hair drooping to one side because of the tilt of her head.

Sakura, who followed the prestige, stared blankly.

The visiting girl was very beautiful, with deep eyelashes, deep eyes, and a healthy pink color on her fair skin. Her slender figure was outlined by the solemn dark clothing.

"It's so beautiful." Looking at the visitor whose hair shape was quite similar to her but was unbelievably beautiful, Matou Sakura softly exclaimed.

The other party laughed again, showing a friendly look: "You are Sakura, right? I am Liang Rishi, your father's junior in the newspaper office. At the same time, I am also his student." Her voice was not as soft as that of an ordinary girl, but It is a kind of handsome and steady that is almost neutral, "I came here for class today, and I took the photography equipment here by the way. I have been bothering your father all this time."

"Please don't say that, we are equal colleagues." After saying these words helplessly, Kariya walked to the side of the easel and looked at Matou Sakura with concern, "Sorry, we can
