[FZ] Bewitched

Despite Kotomine Kirei's explanation, Matou Kariya did not take back his defensive posture.

An impenetrable enemy.

He was supposed to stand on the same front with Tokiomi but acted alone behind Tokiomi's back, chasing him with an eager attitude - otherwise it would not explain the fact that he always ran into each other - but it was only provocative, not trying to win over or kill them all.I can't come up with a reasonable explanation for this.

At present, this matter was reasonable, but it became unreasonable because the other party acted inexplicably.

Because it was during the truce period, and the victim was his mentor who gave birth to a daughter, he came to the rescue; such a normal thing, it doesn't look like Kotomine Kirei would do it...

"Are you worried about this child, Kariya?" The man on the opposite side spoke, and the questioning words were spoken out in an affirmative tone.

Matou Kariya narrowed his eyes.Those dark black eyes should have been lost in the dark night, but they were shining with a dangerous light that could be caught by him.The unsettling atmosphere that had been perceived from each other in the previous life was flowing between the two of them at this moment.This is the first time since his rebirth.

As if pleased by Kariya's clearly expressed displeasure, Kotomine Kirei tilted his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised a tiny arc; perhaps because he seldom smiles, this expression that can be called a "smile" is a bit distorted . "Matong wouldn't be in such a panic and embarrassment as the master."

The man's deep voice and his locked eyes made Kariya irritated.He instinctively took a step back when the opponent stepped forward, but it was useless - the man who was much taller than himself approached him the next second and grabbed his chin.

His fingers, which were a little rough because of the hard calluses, pressed on his lower lip, causing a tingling pain.This made Matou Kariya realize that due to being too anxious, he had bitten his lip unconsciously.

Kotomine Kirei was right.I really lost my temper seriously.

As if reading Kariya's mind, Kotomine Kirei snorted mockingly.And before Kariya exploded to let go of him, a small hand pushed him away from Kariya's hand.

After finishing this, Matou Sakura said loudly with her arms around Kariya's neck: "Although you saved me, please don't tease my father like this! You are also a magician, aren't you? I don't know what happened , but please challenge the Matou family with the power of magic."

Kariya was quite surprised.Matou Ying was a shy child, she had always put her face on her neck just now, but now she seemed not afraid of giving birth suddenly.

Right now, the girl Kariya was familiar with slowly unfolded the scarf and wrapped herself around his neck.After doing this, she hugged Kariya even tighter. "As your daughter, I will inherit the pride that a magician should have." Matou Sakura said softly in a solemn tone, "When I saw the monster just now, Sakura was not afraid, but calmly hid Wake up."

There is a strong contrast between the girl's deliberate solemnity and her soft voice, but as a daughter-in-law, Kariya Matou is not attracted to it, and he is not even happy for the other party's protection; Happy guessing. "Does Sakura want to be a magician? Do you also want to be the heir to magic?"

Questions that should not be pursued here were asked out of time.Matou Kariya was so eager to know the answer.

"Of course." Matou Sakura whispered in Kariya's ear, her eyes fixed on Kotomine Kirei who she considered to be her enemy. "I hope to become an excellent magician like you."

A trace of pain flashed quickly in Matou Kariya's eyes.

I am not an outstanding person, and I am not qualified to be the object of Sakura's longing.With my only and tiny wish, I can only do the best I can to get the other party out of bad luck.Yes, I'm not worth it at all...

"He is really a poor guy with low self-esteem. He thinks that he is going the right way, but he has never talked with the person involved?" Kotomine Kirei, who caught the painful eyes of the other party before, found that what the archer said to him earlier was totally wrong. Correct - the person in front of you is very interesting.

"Shut up!" The other party's behavior of poking his sore spot made Matou Kariya unbearable anymore.At the same time, he didn't want the other party to continue talking nonsense in front of Sakura.Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Kariya straightened the wrinkled skirt of his clothes and raised his chin slightly. "We belong to the opposing camp, so there is nothing to talk about. Although the Holy Grail War is temporarily suspended, if you want to challenge the Matou family, I, the master, will accompany you."

What an annoying guy, even looking at other people's eyes can make people annoying to a unique degree.

and many more.

Such ambiguous but very eager eyes, I have clearly seen them before; or at least, I have been stared at like this.

Matou Kariya searched quickly in memory.Quite unexpectedly, the image of himself and Tohsaka Tokiomi confronting each other on the rooftop finally froze in his mind.At that time, the only thing he could see, hear, and perceive was Tohsaka Tokiomi in front of him.But thinking about it now, Kotomine Kirei, as Tokiomi's disciple, might be lurking in a dark corner waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Speaking of it this way, Zouken's claim that Kotomine Kirei saved him at the beginning seems somewhat believable.However, what kind of idiots can do such a thing as saving oneself first and persecuting oneself second.

Now Kotomine Kirei's behavior is also quite strange: the young priest showed a puzzled look on his face, as if troubled by Matou Kariya's attitude of facing the challenge calmly, and after a while, he slowly shook his head. "At least until Caster is conquered successfully, I won't kill you. I..."

"Oh?" Matou Kariya raised his slender eyebrows, pretending that he was very interested in listening to the other party.

However, Kotomine Kirei stopped talking, but slowly extended his hand to Matou Sakura.

At this moment, Matou Kariya was really curious.However, no matter how he guessed, he didn't expect what the other party would do next.

Kotomine Kirei covered Matou Sakura's eyes with his palm.The girl who was close to Kariya panicked, but her insignificant struggle could not move away the palm blocking her vision.

Before Matou Kariya yelled at the guy who dared to "offend" his daughter, Kotomine Kirei personally sealed his lips.

Matou Kariya's eyes widened, and another missile exploded in his mind.

The strange touch of being touched by someone else's lips was soft and clear, which made Kariya clearly realize how terrible the first kiss in his two lives was.The sound of breathing, heartbeat, and the sound of ocean waves that seemed to be coming from another dimension were all mixed together, making his eardrums hurt.

At this moment, Kariya's mood was like a dark cloud, his mind was chaotic, and the only thought was that he had been humiliated.

I was humiliated by the guy who deceived and used me in the previous life.

On the other hand, Kotomine Kirei had no intention of humiliating Kariya.He was really just curious.

A soul that has been soaked in pain almost its entire life and has extremely low self-esteem, will it also taste like tears?

Gently pinching the other's lower lip, the tip of his tongue swept over the bleeding wound on his lip.After feeling the obvious shock of the other party's thin body, Kirei ended the probing kiss, and also put down the hand that Matou Sakura was trying to get rid of.

"So it's not bitter." But it's good to see the process of shock spreading on that seemingly calm face.The young priest thought lightly, and even felt that the strange behavior he made in accordance with his heart was worth it.

Kariya Matou was not so happy.Embarrassed and annoyed, his face flushed red, and Matou Sakura's curiosity to know what happened just now made him even more embarrassed.Simply pressing the questioning girl towards his neck, Kariya Matou straightened his body. "I'm really grateful that Sakura didn't see such a bad scene. But Father, if you think that you can defeat me by disturbing my mood with inexplicable actions, then you are too idealistic."

Matou Kariya responded with a fairly calm tone.His ten years of suffering in pain taught him to be introverted and forbearable, and he can restrain his impulsive nature even in extraordinary situations.In fact, he just wants to let his reason fly and question the other party loudly.

——What the hell is this?

"You...it's really interesting." The person on the other side answered irrelevantly.

"Huh? I don't think there are any qualities in me that make people find it interesting." Kariya was furious, and continued to mock, "Or, the space in your brain is so large that you can freely imagine thinking about boring people To the point of galloping?"

Kotomine Kirei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but was stopped: a flame flashed in the darkness, burning and expanding into a humanoid shape.

Seeing this, Kirei's expression became solemn, and Matou Sakura, who had been peeking at Kariya's interaction with Kirei, also widened her eyes. "this is not……"

"Well, it's Tokiomi's familiar." Kariya whispered, while taking two steps away from the fire.Fire magic is the nemesis of insect art, and Kariya, who was attacked by Tokiomi in his previous life, has even more painful memories.

Kariya guessed that it was the familiar used by Tokiomi to convey the message, and at this moment he was uttering instructions to Kotomine Kirei in a way that others could not hear.When the familiar formed by the flames burned out, Kirei didn't bother him any more, just took a deep look at him and left at an unimaginably fast speed.

"This direction..." Kariya murmured, turning to Sakura, "Father has business to do. I'll call Heye right away and ask him to take you home."

Sakura nodded obediently. "Is Dad going to fight other magicians?"

Kariya sighed helplessly inwardly.Sakura's interest in magic was unexpected and a headache for him, but he decided to talk about it with the girl after solving the sea monster.At this moment, with his usual calm smile, he said lightly: "I am indeed going to fight as a magician. But the target of the battle is not a magician."

He looked towards the direction where Kotomine Kirei disappeared.In the thick smoke rising from the sea in the distance, there are strange black lines.Kariya knew that within that mass of chilling evil magic power, an unprecedentedly powerful monster would descend into the world.

Looking where her father was facing, Matou Sakura, who was quite sensitive to magic power, also realized something was wrong. "That's it?" Sakura was startled, and turned her questioning gaze to Kariya.

"That's a battlefield, Sakura."

After Matou Tsuruno drove to pick up Matou Sakura with resentment all over his body, and sent Kariya to the Weiyuanchuan Bridge by the way, Matou Kariya expressed his thanks to his brother in an awkward tone.After that, he got out of the car, tightened the scarf the girl had left for him, and walked towards the source of the strong magic fluctuations.

Just in time?

Under the bridge, the violently surging water finally burst open.Accompanied by a violent pressure that seems to be able to shatter everything, a gigantic alien monster that does not belong to this world appears behind layers of water mist.Kariya could almost imagine his disgusting and gloomy skin and his evil pupils looking around in the world.

The sea monster is alive.

If I had to calculate it, it was earlier than in my previous life. I don't know if this is the butterfly effect of my own actions.

But it doesn't matter.

"Yo Kariya, let's fight, let the old man see your results." The dark and distorted voice of the stale old man still rang in his ears, "Although you have done well so far, Matou Sakura has a stronger strength than you." Talent. If you disappoint the old man, the old man can only focus on cultivating your daughter."

The old guy must be made to recognize his value as "worth using".Tonight is the time to show your talents.

Matou Kariya closed his eyes lightly, reciting the mantra in a low voice.The magic circuit he originally possessed was expanded to an incredible level by the insect technique. At this moment, the magic power of his whole body was mobilized, forming a vortex flowing smoothly like water around his body, and stretching out a sharp pressure in the air.

The side effects of the imprinted worms still exist.However, this bit of pain could no longer affect Kariya Matou.

The heart-piercing cry was locked in the worm bin, and the tingling pain that penetrated into the internal organs and covered every inch of the skin was only chewed by himself; the unrestrained heart was bound in the dark underground and in the hut in the clock tower, with almost Crazy gestures put their all into magic.Matou Kariya, who has spent such ten years, will not be knocked down by any pain, and can display the strongest power of the magic he has learned under any circumstances.

At this moment, the severe pain of being bitten by the engraving insect spread from the raised right hand through the arm to the whole body, but Matou Kariya still stood there respectfully.A body that was so thin that it could be broken by a strong wind, but became invincible because of an extremely strong desire——

"berserker!" The young master Matou called his followers, his fighting spirit burst out with the surge of magic power, "Answer my call and fight for me—"
