The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

This is the third month that Sakura happily "abandoned" her father and went to school happily with the evil-minded Snake.

Such a long three months, to the girl who felt enough happiness, flashed like lightning, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

But for the old fathers in the family who were tragically abandoned...

——How long has passed, and the daughter has grown up, doesn't she need a father?

The unwillingness of a certain Pharaoh is the most obvious.

He has great opinions on the snake stick that abducts his well-behaved daughter from the beginning to the end, and strongly suspects that this is another conspiracy of the snake stick.

However, in the process of not-so-"Pharaoh"'s secret observation, Ozymandias did not find any abnormal behavior of the snake staff.

That guy seems to have changed his ways.

Although no matter how you think about it, it seems impossible—but judging from the facts, Snake Zhang surprisingly took the initiative to act with the human girl, and it really didn't do anything bad.

He did not instigate the girl to be late and skip class, nor did he take the opportunity to plot against the girl.

Going out early in the morning, the little girl with shoulder-length short hair was carrying a schoolbag, and the little yellow hat on her head was pressing down on the bow tied to one ear, and she was bouncing around as she walked.

"Sakura wasn't this excited when she went to school with me."

Needless to say, the Pharaoh's heart grew sour.This is the second type of heavy blow he has suffered since becoming a king - the first type is love, and the second type is of course father-daughter love.

Snake Stick no longer manipulated the body of passers-by, but shrunk his own body and hid it in Sakura's small schoolbag to talk to her quietly.

From the perspective of passers-by, it is the purple-haired girl walking with floating flowers, and occasionally talking to herself in the air, pursing her lips and smiling, looking lively and cute.

Even passers-by can't help but take a few more glances, thinking that this little girl is so cute.

The conversation between Sakura and She Zhang is kept secret from outsiders, and only the two of them know about it.

Needless to say, it can be guessed that this is Shezhang's little idea, but Ying also quietly mixed with it, not wanting the adults to hear her conversation with Mr. Shezhang.

When I asked the reason, it was "This... um, it's a secret that I can't tell my father".

Father x2: "..."

What's going on, I was so angry suddenly, I really wanted to pick up the snake and tie a knot.

"—Is this the so-called puberty?"

Due to the current crisis, the reserved and elegant priest had to put aside the "confrontation" with the pharaoh and pay close attention to Qi Sakura's abnormality.

He suspects that this is the "adolescence" that young people have, because the performance is consistent with the characteristics of puberty.Such as being rebellious, not communicating with parents, being independent...

Pharaoh: "No, Sakura hasn't reached puberty yet."

They must have a deep understanding that Matou Sakura is only six years old and a few months old, and at least ten or eight years away from the arrival of puberty...

and many more.

It's already like this now, won't the situation get worse in another ten years!

"God..."

"Well……"

The idiot fathers worried about the future prematurely. When they thought of the various tests they would most likely face in the future, a king of kings and a legendary high priest almost turned black.

It's not impossible to find the snake stick directly, and use the pressure of the contract to press him - in fact, it's normal to have such an idea, and the snake stick has been prepared for a long time, just thinking that those two idiots will never let it go, and must vent their anger on it.

However, very strange.

Snake Stick was not forced to ask questions, and the puzzled emotions lingered in his heart, making him suspect several times that the heads of the idiot duo were really broken by blows, so they forgot that they could do this.

But it's not.

Neither Ozymandias nor Tahir thought of doing this.

The reason is also very simple, so simple that the king doesn't bother to explain, the priest is clear in his heart, and will not explain his true thoughts to the outside world.

If it was when they brought Sakura with them, the two of them would definitely not feel at ease.After all, everyone knows the virtues of the snake stick. This guy always thinks of ways to take advantage of the loopholes to make things bad. He can only suppress it by force, and cannot give it a chance to relax.

However, it has been so long.

Compared with the incompetent father who is doing his best in all aspects, but for frustrating reasons, he can't do well no matter what, the snake stick is much more reliable.

Even if he doesn't want to, he does most of the chores at home, and he does it perfectly, and he can't make mistakes.

"Leaving aside the nature and previous convictions of the Snake Staff, just considering its attitude and devotion to Sakura, Yu, who has not fulfilled his responsibilities, has no right to say more."

Ozymandias shook his head slightly, barely acknowledging the hardship of the snake staff.

A man who can become a great king who left a strong mark on history cannot be narrow-minded, so even though he is unhappy, he will still approve of what Snake Stick has done.

"Most importantly, I saw the kid's smile."

Tahir also remembered the appearance of the little snake when it was whispering.

Although he didn't know what they were talking about, but as a new father, he was relieved to see the bright smile on the girl's soft face.

"She's very happy, that's enough. Let's talk about other concerns after observing for a while."

Contrary to Ozymandias, Tahir is a person who does not openly reveal his feelings.

His concern for those he approves of is only apparent in the subtleties.

"So, Tahir, have you started to believe in that snake rod?"

Tahir: (reasonably) "Of course not."

Pharaoh:"!"

It was an instant answer!The answer is not in line with the routine!

This is not surprising.

Although Tahir had completely forgotten about the snake stick, he subconsciously maintained a high level of vigilance against this guy.

Not interfering with its closeness with Sakura does not mean that it completely trusts it.They are both collaborators and deadly enemies. Unless there are special circumstances (referring to the unilateral suppression of the Snake Staff), they will definitely not be able to live in harmony.

What they approve of is only the current behavior of Snake Staff [not hurting Sakura, but also making the girl happier than before].

If you interfere without authorization because you don't trust the snake stick, ignoring Sakura's feelings, it will hurt her instead.Because this is also an expression of distrust of her.

Neither Ozymandias nor Tahir wanted that to happen.

Anyway, the two of them are watching closely in secret, and any problems can be found and resolved immediately.

If you still want to talk about whether Sakura will be quietly brought down by the snake stick...

Forget it.

Fathers don't believe in snake rods, but they can provide the most basic trust to their daughters.

"—If you have any problems, just twist it into a knot and hang it in front of the temple gate."

"No, it must be burnt to ashes by the sun's rays."

"It still doesn't work. At least one hundred, no, two hundred years must be hung at the entrance of the temple."

"Hmm! As expected of a lover who shares my heart, I think so too!"

"..."

Unexpectedly, the blond priest who confessed his love in person choked not so obviously.

If there was no shelter in front of his eyes, he should have calmly glanced at the cheeky Pharaoh at this time, expressing his "warning" with his eyes: he is not satisfied with writing so many exaggerated things in the letter, but in reality Does it need to be so exaggerated?

It's a shame Ozymandias couldn't capture that look.

If he was lucky enough to get it, he would fold his arms around his chest without shame, and let out a good-for-nothing laugh.

"No matter how many words are piled up, it is impossible to surpass words. I really want to tell you every sentence"-this more frank confession will definitely continue like this.

A certain topic that would make Snake Zhang who was far away at school chilled all over, just like this was quietly brought over without knowing it.

In the process of reflecting on how he lost the trust of his beloved daughter, the inexplicably ambiguous atmosphere between the "idiot priest" and "idiot pharaoh" suddenly came thousands of years later.

The cryptic exchange of letters they held at night was suspended for a while, then (thought to be) resumed without a trace.

And gradually, it is no longer limited to mutual criticism in letters. In reality, when the two meet face to face, it is possible to discuss the content of the poem they read yesterday.

Of course!

It's just the most flat and calm "discussion"... At most, a certain pharaoh will take the opportunity to mix in too strong personal emotions, and both of them are very rational.

"Sensible ass."

Uncle Shezhang, who has not been found to be peeping and gossiping with a little girl so far, is talking loudly again, sparing the boring things on human beings called "dignity" and "desire to cover up".

"Are these two idiots going to pay off all the emotional debts they owed in one go? Oh no, it's not called a one-off effort, it's a wooden fish whose brains have already been enlightened, and they are still dawdling! Do you want me to teach them?" How do you do it! Oh, you are so naive, my uncle would not be so idle!"

He said that he didn't have such a free time, but once he started talking in front of the girl, Uncle She Zhang couldn't hold back anymore.

It can't hold back its words at all, no matter how the fools have to repay the emotional debt owed for thousands of years, the uncle must first finish the words owed by Tahir for thousands of years:

"It's really stupid, stupid! Isn't human beings a kind of virtue throughout the ages? Saying 'like' and saying 'love', in the final analysis, they want to mate. Do you know how to mate! Hurry up Give it to me—”

"...Hmm! Stop talking about Mr. Snake Stick!!!"

Before Snake Zhang finished expressing his high opinion passionately, Sakura reflexively grabbed her neck and dragged her over.

Facts have proved that Sakura has lived up to the trust and high expectations given to her by her parents.

Although this girl experienced a period of extremely gloomy, nightmare-like days, she was lucky enough to be rescued before her spirit completely broke down, and she did not develop in a distorted direction.

She has successively accepted the pharaoh's "Yu's daughter can't be wrong, even if there is, the person who said you are wrong is very wrong", the high priest's "always be proud, elegant, and reserved" and the simple and rude snake stick "to you The pointing idiot is the multi-education of "don't care about anything".

The three perspectives have been corrected to be extremely upright, but they seem to be slightly crooked... Forget it, it's not important!

In short, after regaining her spirit, Sakura quickly recovered the cheerfulness that girls of this age have. At present, it is not clear whether she is too cheerful, after all, there is Tahir's high-coldness as a model to guide her. , to suppress her so that she would not let go.

Sakura is now just an "ordinary" girl who knows "slightly" a lot, but is still quite shy at heart.

Naturally, an ordinary girl can't hear words like "mating that mating", so she blushed and suppressed Mr. Snake Stick in one fell swoop with a strong action force that was completely opposite to her shy reaction.

The snake stick that was pinched to the point of flying out of its soul: "Gah——"

"No, no, no! This word is too—Mr. Snake Zhang, although the relationship between Father and Father is indeed that, but it is not that relationship, Sakura knows this!"

She Zhang (takes a breath with difficulty): "What about that and that and that, wait, it turns out that you know a little too much..."

"They haven't slept in the same bed at night! So! Don't say that!"

Snake Staff: "..."

Sakura, who was fighting to protect the innocence of her father and adults, blushed and puffed up: "..."

"But, little girl, let's do it! Some things! You don't have to lie on a bed to do it."

"……Hey?"

"Yes."

"........."

After a moment.

"Hey... yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

Uncle Snake Zhang was once again suppressed with an iron fist by the pure girl who couldn't help but scream, and it can be regarded as it-deserved it.

Well, there is no need for the covetous fathers to personally sanction.

As long as the snake does something bad, it will be punished on the spot, which can be described as a good reincarnation.

……

The same daily routine was going on, such as a calendar that kept turning pages, and soon, the first grade of Sakura Elementary School ended in an understatement.

The life of ordinary people is naturally not as thrilling as depicted in historical legends, but it has a unique sense of leisure.

For Heroic Spirit, who is the author of the magnificent poems of history, after getting used to the almost constant level of plainness, the feeling of being in it is actually quite good.

Leaving aside the Holy Grail War, which has just ended for more than a year, Fuyuki, a seaside city, is actually not conspicuous within the country to which it belongs.

Rather than a highly developed modern city, the atmosphere is more like a small town shrouded in peace and tranquility.

Sakura had just finished the New Year's holiday in the first semester of the first grade, and their family was affected by the festive atmosphere that filled the whole city, and they also went to do as the Romans did, and went to join in the fun.

"Lively" specifically refers to going to the New Year's Temple Fair, which is held every year when a new beginning comes.

The New Year here is related to the customs of the local people, and has nothing to do with the pharaohs and priests who were ancient Egyptians. They just celebrated the festival with the only "locals" in their families.

However, no matter what era or region, "New Year" is the most important day for people.

In the place where they are, people will put on formal costumes at the beginning of the year and go to the temple to pray for blessings.

There will be a temple fair at night, and that night is destined to be very lively and brightly lit.

"You go, I'll just stay."

At the beginning, I heard that Ozymandias was going to lead Sakura out to "participate in a temple fair", that's what Tahir said.

He doesn't like the excitement, and he doesn't like to join in the excitement. It should be something that even time can't change.

The temple that most people look forward to is less interesting to the priests.

Moreover, as long as you recall it, you will find that Tahir has hardly ever stepped out of the pharaoh's palace.

Yes, since the time when he tried to send Sakura to school but got hit badly, he had no interest in going outside at all.

It has nothing to do with whether he is suitable for showing up in a modern society that is far more open than ancient times. After all, even using magic to cover up can still cover up an extremely outstanding appearance.

If you have to ask why, that is——

"Too much."

"Too much of what?"

"people."

Spewing out such an indifferent single word sound from his mouth is like a blow to anyone's ears.

Tahir has never told anyone, the last accident made him realize that he seems to have a strong sense of rejection in the presence of strangers.

He doesn't want to get close to "people", and this strange feeling even extends to Sakura.It's just that he concealed it so well that he wasn't seen through at all.

Only when getting along with a certain man, the rejection hidden in the heart will quietly disappear.

He didn't want the "people" to notice this extremely contradictory feeling, so he forcefully distanced himself from that man—the distance failed, and then continued...failed again.

After repeated repetitions, the anxiety was nourished and began to spread in the heart.

That's why Tahir resolutely refused the proposal to go out with them, even Sakura's longing eyes couldn't shake him, let alone——

"I was rejected... I really want to convince you, but it's a waste of time! Let's go!"

Tahir: "I said no—?!"

Regardless of whether he was alive or after his death, the strength of the priests was so weak that the pharaoh was eight streets away, so that he had no power to resist, and was dragged away on the spot by two people, one big and one small.

Tahir didn't have time to react yet, Sakura was still so small, when did her strength increase.

"Hiss! Why does my uncle have to come with you, and I have nothing to do with you!"

The noisy sound of the snake stick never stopped on the road.

It was only because it was wrapped around Sakura's wrist so perfectly that it was disguised as a bracelet, so the pharaoh who glanced at it coldly didn't catch it, threw it on the spot and stomped on it.

On the contrary, Ying pampered it very much, as if comforting it, and said in a proud and firm tone: "Of course it is because Mr. Snake Zhang is also our family."

"...!"

She Zhang was not frightened by Pharaoh's stare, but was frightened by this childish words.

I didn’t dare to say too much, maybe I was still afraid of being picked up and tied into a knot and hung in the sun at the gate of the temple for 200 years, but it slowed down, and still murmured stubbornly: “If my uncle and you are a family, it’s really down. Eight lifetimes of blood mold."

Oh no.

According to the calculation of a human being's lifetime of almost 100 years, it has been in bad luck for more than [-] lifetimes.

While the snake stick was muttering and resentful here, the mood of the person who was forcibly dragged out was also delicate.

Tahir did not use magic to hide his appearance.

Because the first second he came out, the man beside him put a strange mask on him.

According to Sakura, this is the fox mask sold at the mask booth at the temple fair, and there is also a tengu style, um, the one that my father wears obliquely next to his face.

Tahir: "..."

Needless to say, he could have guessed that this was planned by the father and daughter.

The pharaoh who came to the modern East really did as the Romans did, not only wearing a weird mask to cater to the New Year's atmosphere, but also wearing a black and gold bathrobe.

Compared with the all-black modern outfit that was fortunately invisible to Tahir, otherwise he would definitely be disgusted, Ozymandias's dress today is obviously much more normal, and it also adds a different style from usual.

The facial features of this man are quite different from those of oriental people, and his skin color is also darker, but the low-key luxury of black and gold suits him very well, especially revealing a bit of extravagance.

"My lord father changed several clothes specially tonight, and finally chose this one. He is wearing... and a golden scarf, which is so long..."

Sakura sat in Tahir's arms, and enthusiastically described Ozymandias' appearance at the moment, and at the same time, she did not forget to describe the roadside scenery they passed one by one.

The girl chattered all the way, and the self-proclaimed Wang was always close by, consciously fending off passers-by who were about to bump into him...

No matter how cold the face that was tense under the priest's mask was, it would still be melted down by this battle.

"It's not an example."

However, it is still necessary to emphasize with a tense and cold voice.

"Well—compared with Yu's Egypt, the eastern country immersed in festivals really has a different flavor."

"Hee hee~ Sakura is so happy to be able to come out to play with my father and adults, and Mr. Snake Zhang."

A pharaoh who pretended not to hear was sighing loudly, and although a young girl didn't follow suit, she obviously didn't really listen to his words.

Tahir was about to speak, but was preempted by another voice.

It turned out that Snake Stick suddenly released the bracelet mode, and a dissatisfaction raised his head: "Why is this uncle placed alone at the end-poof!"

Fortunately, it is night now, and the fireworks show that is said to be held has not yet started, and only the dangling lanterns hanging from the knots above the head light up the surroundings. The "bracelet" that suddenly came alive and can talk was suppressed by Sakura in time It didn't scare passers-by to scream.

"Shh, don't talk, Mr. Snake Zhang!"

"My uncle can use blindfold..."

Ka, the snake couldn't finish talking, so it rushed to the street sadly halfway.

The eyes of the old fathers who were paying close attention to this side moved slightly, and they were relieved to witness the unluckyness of the snake stick quietly.

They maintained no expression on their faces, but inadvertently...

Ozymandias was staring straight ahead proudly.

Tahir's eyes didn't shift either.

However, the hand of one of them was squeezed by the crowd and fell on the shoulder of the other.

As if to protect him.

Well, after all, there are so many idlers waiting.

"I think it's a good festival to enjoy just as a visitor, even though it's very different from the Egyptian rituals."

"Is it."

"It's not bad to come here once a year."

"what ever."

"Huh? Really? Cough...Of course that's good. By the way, Sakura, would you like me to hug—"

"Father! I can go by myself."

Accompanied by the coquettish voice that the girl can only make when she is happy, the small figure fell from the arms of one of the adults and landed on the ground covered with bright lights.

At first, the shadow walking in the middle looked really short, and he was also wearing a small kimono in the style of a child.

But as if in the blink of an eye, the shadow is slowly rising.

When the gorgeous fireworks bloom above the head, Sakura is no longer a very inconspicuous little girl surrounded by her father and adults.

"Father, Mr. Snake Stick!"

She took a few steps forward briskly, rushed to the front of the men, and then turned around Yingying.

The graceful body was wrapped in a pink yukata covered with petals. Under the colorful brilliance of fireworks, the smile of a 16-year-old girl looked as soft as cherry blossoms.

"It's a new year."

"Thank you, and—I love you, Happy New Year!"

The author has something to say: After a while, ten years have passed, and the plot will follow the plot. The chapter on raising a daughter is coming to an end, and Tata should die again (crossed out) and go to the Hall of Valor

5555 comments dropped sharply!It's hard to pick interesting comments!Wang Wang crying and rolling all over the floor

[Isaiah]:

Whoa, what is this?I abruptly saw the feeling of deep love between Snake Zhang and Sister Ying.

(Fuck, what is this? I was actually shocked by the description of sisterly love, laughing and laughing! Snake was also shocked!)

【molly】：

The parenting duo said: Kesu, what happened? When they were busy pk, the daughter ran away with She Zhang? ?I really need a fireproof, anti-theft and anti-snake stick

She Zhang said: It is very happy to expose the things written by the priest, especially the priest is still amnesia and refuses to admit that he has written such things.

Sakura said: The two fathers are very powerful, and they will learn from their fathers in the future, and learn like this from the seniors.

(Shirou is so pitiful, but Shirou will come out in the next chapter! You can look forward to it x)
