My neighbor is magical

, I will respect your wishes.If Sakura..."

"I can do it all," Matou Sakura stared straight at Kirei with dark eyes, "I can do anything you can do."

Kariya raised his eyebrows.

Although it is a very joyful daily interaction, I always feel that something is wrong.

Different from the undercurrent but still peaceful relationship here, the three heroic spirits sitting around the table on the other side were completely caught in a war of words.

"Please stop, King of Heroes!" For the tenth time, Artoria pushed away the opponent's hand stretching towards the hairy hair on her head, and Arturia could no longer bear it.

Although this guy has a good-looking appearance and looks like he's rich, he's too underwhelming! ——That was the idea of ​​the girl knight.

"Ha! Are you shy?" The blond hero stared at her with interest.

"You bastard," the girl snapped the poor fork in two, "give me enough!"

Looking at the girl with an extremely ugly face, the King of Heroes showed a pleasing smile instead: "Your appearance is simply an insignificant anger unique to tiny creatures. However, you are so beautiful with this expression..."

Accompanied by the sound of ceramics shattering, the Hero King's words came to an abrupt end.He stared sullenly at the scene before him.

A fork pierced the dinner plate in front of the King of Heroes in half, and nailed it straight into the table below.The instigator just took a sip of tea quietly: "No one invited you to join us, King of Heroes."

"You are not worthy to speak with this king."

"Because you are the king who has been dusted the longest? But we are all dead, there is no difference at all."

The King of Heroes raised his voice angrily: "A mad dog in the mud, dare to be compared with this king? Last time when I was at Tohsaka's house, I should have made you disappear completely! If that bastard Tokiomi hadn't stopped me halfway, this king would have already killed you!" You and your master are chopped!"

"Lancelot is not a mad dog," Arturia interrupted angrily, "he is the head of the Knights of the Round Table, and he is blessed by the fairy of the lake!"

The girl's glaring gaze softened the attitude of the King of Heroes.With a cold snort, he withdrew his killing intent: "Hmph, since you begged, I will forgive this provocative guy."

"Who begged you." Artoria was already too angry.And Lancelot clarified with a serious face: "I have no intention of challenging you, King of Heroes. I don't want to cause any trouble to the master anymore. But I must prevent all strange people from getting close to the king's sister. This is, My loyalty to the king."

"You crazy dog, how dare you say that this king is strange!?"

"Isn't it?" Artoria agreed, "Who would take out a treasure in a restaurant."

"Huh? You saw it." The King of Heroes showed a little annoyance in a rare way, "Forget about what happened just now!"

"I can't do it for the time being, my memory is not that bad." The girl fell into powerlessness again.

Kariya, who was listening from a distance, curled his lips: "Those guys, have they entered the mode of bickering among elementary school students?"

"It's better than a duel in the store." The man opposite had already focused all his attention on Mapo Tofu.

Kariya thought about it: If Arturia liberates the Wind King's Barrier, the King of Heroes opens the King's Treasure, and Lancelot shines the indestructible lake light... "That's really terrible."

"Yeah. If this store is razed to the ground, where will I go to eat mapo tofu in the future?"

When the other party was joking, Kariya showed a smile.Matou Sakura, who was closely watching the dynamics on both sides, sighed faintly: "Sure enough, your servants will always be like this. For the sake of the person you like, you leave your master behind."

"It's not like that, Sakura. Lancelot isn't that bad."

"That's what it is." Matou Sakura blinked, "Besides, you agreed to teach the guy who offended you just to make him meet King Arthur again? To let her materialize a heroic spirit? Although the other party is a very beautiful woman Children, but in this way, there will be another rice bucket in the family."

Kariya, who was drinking porridge, choked hard: "Sakura, it's too..."

Kirei, who has been staring at the food since just now, finally raised his eyes: "Is that the girl who uses fire magic? She lives with you now?"

"No, I just ate at my house when I came to study." Kariya shook his head, "Huahua seems to have gone to live with Liangyi. 'I want to go to Shi', that's what she said."

"Is that so." Kirei whispered, without asking how the two delicately related girls turned enemies into friends.And Matou Ying once again regained the right to speak: "Anyway, Uncle Kariya, I will work hard until I am able to protect you!"

Sensing that something was wrong, Kariya stared blankly at Sakura.

The girl who clearly only learned basic magic from Kariya, now has a magical aura churning around her body.The girl's eyes looking forward were black and shiny, as if a flame was burning in them: "You, I will protect you!"

"Sakura is such an obedient child." Kirei, who focused on eliminating mapo tofu, commented, "Isn't it, Matou-kun."

The doubts in his heart dissipated, and Kariya straightened up a little proudly, "Of course, Sakura is the best."

The strong aura she was trying to muster stagnated, and Matou Sakura slumped her shoulders in frustration.

What I was guarding against was clearly this guy in front of me!I have never seen such a brazen person!

Moreover, Uncle Kariya didn't realize who he was talking about when he was taken advantage of by the other party!It's so dull... so cute!

Matou Kariya has no sense of crisis, and he doesn't know how Matou Sakura silently complained about himself.But a few days later, he fell into a new anxiety.

— because of someone's reply.

[It doesn't matter what you think of me.You just have to watch me.

However, there are too many irrelevant and eye-catching people around you.

Are you worried too?For these guys who make your life difficult.Why, not be tougher and drive them away. 】

Putting away the letter paper, Kariya frowned because of the discomfort of being watched closely by someone.

What worries him is that so far, he still doesn't know the identity of the other party.

Maybe it's the people around him—Kariya had already guessed this way a long time ago.But in his opinion, only Lancelot and Emiya Kiritsugu would secretly stare at others and hide themselves well, and these two had no interest in him at all.

The disobedience he once felt in Kotomine Kirei flooded into his mind, Kariya forcefully drove it away.

Probably not.The man who took care of himself without complaining, and always held him up reliably when he fell down.

"Please don't block my door, King of Heroes! Shirou is just a child, you will scare him!" Arturia's distraught voice came in from the window.

"Ha, this kind of brat is worthy of your protection? Why don't you go for a ride in this king's car. This is the highest honor." The hero king's incomparable voice floated immediately.

Kariya, who was getting his attention, went to the window.Something dazzled his eyes with a flash of gold.When Kariya saw it clearly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Like a locomotive made of pure gold, it was parked in front of Wei Gong's house, shining yellow and coquettish in the sunlight.And the smile on the hero king's face was also brilliant.

Being pursued in this way, Artoria really didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky.

Also... It is clear that he has been drawing power from the Master, but the King of Heroes does not return to Tohsaka's house, but stays at Kotomine Kirei's residence, just for the convenience of pursuing the girl knight, is this really okay? ?

23. My enemies are so angry ([-])

When he was first summoned, Lancelot was surprised by his return to the human world.But after seeing all kinds of heroic spirits, he has become accustomed to them.

Perhaps, only the reappearance of that person can move me.

Because he witnessed the death of the king, the rest of his life was filled with endless pain.Whether it was the short battle after that, or the long time spent in the monastery, I was chewing the pain caused by the previous sins in my heart.But at that time, atonement was of no avail.

Because, the person I most want to protect, the person I am willing to wield my sword for, is no longer there.

Almost hitting a passerby, the British knight woke up suddenly, realizing that he was standing on the street of Fuyuki City.He quickened his pace, intending to meet his master.

Turning the corner, Lancelot stopped abruptly.He saw Kariya in a white shirt at a glance, and beside him, there was another person sitting.

——The person he once thought goodbye to was just a luxury.

Her golden hair was cast a soft maroon in shadow, and her blue eyes focused intently on the page in front of her.The King of Knights, who took off his battle robe and armor and put on a British uniform, is like an easy-going civilian boy.

Reminded by the people around him, the boy finally realized the existence of the knight.Looking up to this side, the young king showed a gentle smile towards the knight as if he had no grudges.

For Lancelot, that smile was more precious than anything else, it was as beautiful as an illusion.

However, as if he was shy from being close to home, the knight suddenly hesitated.Guilt and inferiority tormented him, so that he could only hold back.

The young Wang walked over without paying attention.Standing still in front of the tall knight, he raised his face slightly, showing a faint smile: "I really didn't expect to meet you again, Lancelot."

The shadows accumulated in his heart like dark clouds disappeared, and the knight knelt down on one knee, saluting as before: "I finally see you, my king."

Is that all?I thought there would be a touching hug.Kariya is a bit lost
