The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

Although Tahir refused to admit that the amnesiac self was equal to him, and he refused to face himself and confided his true feelings to Ramses...but he didn't deny everything that happened during that period.

For example, the daughter picked up by Bai.

No, you can't say "pick it up for nothing". The reason behind this is a solemn agreement.

He hardly promises others what to do at will, and many things are decided by default in his heart.If I promised myself like this, even if I said it in a state of amnesia, I will definitely pay attention to it and will not break the contract.

——Wait, the same words were spoken during the period of amnesia, why do you admit every sentence and firmly deny it?

Feeling the difference between his beloved and others, the Pharaoh, who was targeted by double standards, hesitated to speak about it.

But it was impossible for him to say directly that he had opinions. Only by asking Tahir to say a certain sentence again could he be reluctantly happy.

Not only did his intuition tell him that Tahir would not talk to him, no matter how jealous Ozymandias was, he couldn't eat the child.

Ten years later, although Matou Ying was only the "daughter" he accidentally recognized in the world, after this short period of company, this little girl has officially been recognized by the king and is regarded as a real family member. exist.

It is indeed a miracle that gods can marvel at such a wonderful relationship between ordinary human beings in this world and heroic spirits who are god kings, two types of existences that belong to completely different worlds.

Ozymandias did not leave any children during his lifetime, so he did not expect to have the opportunity to fill in the blank experience of raising children after his death - or with his beloved.

On the other hand, even the proud Pharaoh has to admit that Sakura is a very loving girl.

She is very sensible, and after realizing that she was able to return to an "ordinary" ordinary life, it was all thanks to the care of her two fathers and adults, and she was even more grateful to them.

Even if neither the king nor the sacrificial priest can be regarded as "good parents" in the strict sense, it would definitely cause trouble to let them raise a normal child. Sakura still remembers the kindness hidden deep in every detail, and she always wants to repay it. them.

"Father and adults, as well as Mr. Snake Zhang, are my most important people."

The girl does not contain any impurity sincerity, but even the evil snake staff can be influenced (really influenced), and it is a great killer, and it is not harmful.

She Zhang refused to admit it verbally, and the moment he was included in the scope of "family" by the little human girl, he was stabbed in the heart with no hope.

Ever since it was cast, what it hears is the prayers spoken by human beings with various purposes. It does not know how much decayed greed is contained in it. It is comparable to a pot of black mud that boils all kinds of evil thoughts together and emits a stench.

Humans like Tahir, who almost ignored it, never made demands on it except fooling it when signing a contract, and were not tempted by it at all, are the clear stream in the mud that has only been one for thousands of years.

Now there is another Qingliu who is different from others, and it is still real - there is no demand for it, just human beings who simply want to treat it well.

Sakura said: "Because Mr. Snake Zhang is working hard, fathers and adults... well, there are some things they are not good at, and Mr. Snake Zhang is helping, and these things are all for me."

"In addition to saying thank you, of course I have to do my best to make adults feel at ease."

She didn't say these words in front of her father and adults, she only revealed a little of her heart to She Zhang.

She Zhang was very speechless at the time, and thought that those two idiots could be called "somewhat bad at it". They are obviously super incompetent idiot fathers who would harm their children for the rest of their lives. Sakura was not raised to death by them, thanks to- ?

Isn't it all thanks to Master Snake Staff! ! !

Omg.

Damn.

This, what kind of cunning and invulnerable new species of human being is this!

With just a simple sentence that was uttered unintentionally, Uncle Snake Zhang's heart (and non-existent) that was tortured by the enemy of Snake Life, which was harder than steel (and does not exist), almost exploded on the spot.

That's why it said she was cunning, and she threw out a sentence so easily that even the snake staff, who knew the nature of human beings, couldn't bear it.

She also said that she was impeccable, because the Snake Staff couldn't find the falsehood in this sentence at all, and wanted to refute it, and wanted to find evidence to prove that this is the hypocrisy that human beings are best at, but there is no way at all.

"...Don't think that you can fool me with such a simple thing! You girl has nothing but a combination of those two idiots. Hmph, they can play a role. That's all there is to it!"

She Zhang forced himself to set a position as his shocking villain, but he didn't expect that his momentum could not help but weaken from the second sentence.

It was said by accident, Sakura's personality doesn't look like Ozymandias and Tahir, but the soul is still deeply influenced by those two people.

For some people, the "dangerous" deviation is based on integrity, kindness, empathy... and other characters, and the general direction has not wavered.

In fact, She Zhang also understands that, judging by normal human standards, Sakura has not been taught badly.

Moreover, to live in human society, a character like her is more suitable. She has good intentions but is not cowardly. She is strong enough when she should be strong, and she will not worry about being bullied.

This is the main reason why the Snake Stick just despises the mentally handicapped old fathers' daily operations and didn't try to intervene... Probably?

It is difficult to guess the mind of the snake stick with common sense, anyway, as long as it is known that it has been influenced at least a little bit.

So let's talk again.

Even the Snake Stick can detect the intention, if the two fathers don't find out at all, they will be completely hopeless.

Not to mention Ozymandias, a man who is quite soft under the majestic surface and also likes children very much. Tahir was so cold during the amnesia period, but he was still warmed by the girl's caring and caring.

Sakura remembers the day when they first met as the most important festival in this small family, and every year she secretly prepares gifts for everyone in the family.

On other festivals that follow Japanese customs, I don’t forget to send blessings to everyone.

She likes to go shopping with her father (No. [-]), who suddenly became keen on shopping, and listen carefully to his father's teachings along the way.

In order to avoid being cold-eyed by her father who always habitually turned the topic to "how did Tuxor and I meet and love each other and how much I love him" at home, Sakura always kept smiling and pretended that she didn't hear anything.

She also often sits with her father (No. [-]), who likes to be quiet. When she has nothing to do, her father will teach her to write poems, sing, draw and play the piano.

"I don't know why, this knowledge appeared in my mind consciously."

My father said this very calmly when he lost his memory, and it was confirmed after a long time. It turns out that any of these talents that can be popular today are the basic skills of people who could become priests thousands of years ago. .

It's not that every priest is proficient in everything, geniuses who can penetrate all aspects are a minority among the few, but it just so happens that there is one in front of Sakura.

He is very serious in teaching, and the girl is also very serious in learning, but due to time constraints, and Sakura's own talent is not focused on those skills, the effect is not very obvious.

Of course, the "not obvious" here is only relative to the truly talented players.

Sakura's level is placed in the group of ordinary people, which can already be counted as "good". However, the "teacher" who guides her next to her is too strong, which is quite embarrassing.

Tahir, who is familiar with parenting guidelines, pays special attention to this issue.

He was worried that Sakura would be hit because of this, and he thought about whether he should persuade her not to continue to compete with skills that don't really need to be refined.

After all, he has not forgotten that Sakura's hidden main occupation is "magician", and learning magic is her top priority.

Spending too much time on things that can't be regarded as "hobbies" is definitely a harmful and not beneficial putting the cart before the horse.

But Tahir thought so, before she said it, Sakura guessed his concerns, and took the initiative to tell him not to worry about herself.

"I didn't relax in the study of magic. You taught me to play the harp. I found it very interesting. I just practiced it as a way to relax and not make myself feel tired."

Moreover, she also said: "There is another reason for embarrassment... This is the field that you are good at, Father. Although I don't have this ability to learn better, I also hope that I can get a little closer to you? "

--very good.

It is impossible to describe in words how strong the spiritual impact this revelation of true feelings brought to the cold-hearted High Priest.

Matou Sakura has grown into an incomparably "scary" woman unknowingly.

I have said so much before, but there is only one theme I want to express: this unfortunate and lucky girl has already become different from the original girl, and she deserves the love and care of her relatives and elders.

Regardless of whether Tahir has recovered his memory or not, it does not affect his natural acceptance of her.

After Ramses and Lord Mejed a long time ago, there was finally someone he could admit.

Although the "fate" between them can feel real, it is as illusory as the bubbles that appear in a dream, without any support, and I don't know if it will burst at any time.

But the beauty that needs to be protected is all in the present, as long as this fate can be maintained, it will be precious.

"What are we going to do in the future? I thought about what we—let's count as us—have done over the years."

Tahir, who has returned to normal mode, refuses to discuss with the Pharaoh about himself during the amnesia period, but he is obviously proactive for the first time when it comes to issues related to Sakura.

"It was a failure."

Pharaoh: "Huh? Huh?!"

"The failure is too hard for me to talk about. There is no clear plan for the future, no rhythm planning that can be called orderly, and even the most basic thing, to leave as much legacy as possible to the children—"

Tahir was ashamed of all the dereliction of duty he had done as a "father", so he showed slight mood swings.

Although he realized in the next moment that he made a slip of the tongue when he was too excited, it was too late to take it back.

Ozymandias: "... Legacy?"

Oh.

Correct.

There is such a saying.

Throughout the ages, no matter where they are, the vast majority of parents seem to have a subconscious instinct to protect their offspring.

When they are alive, as long as they have the ability, they will give more consideration to their children.After death, they will also leave their own inheritance, which will be left to future generations.

This is the love from parents. No matter when, it is difficult to measure the depth of this love with numbers and length.

Although Ozymandias has no children, he has parents.

It's just that he is in the royal family, so there is no doubt about the love of the king and princess for their children, but in the final analysis, it is still different from the relationship between father and son, mother and son in ordinary families.

Needless to say, Tahir's family background is worse than Ozymandias. He has never felt the love of father and mother at all. Of course, the fate of children is as thin as that of Pharaoh, and it does not exist at all.

This is the first time in his life that he has become a "father". He doesn't say anything, but he is determined in his heart to be perfect.

Ozymandias should have the same idea as him, but after ten years of trying, the result is right in front of his eyes.

Seeing this scene, the sober perfectionist was almost so angry that his eyes turned black.

About that offhand legacy...

"Tahir, could it be that you—"

Ozymandias didn't know what he remembered, with a look of horror on his face, as if he wanted to bring up the old things again desperately.

"Okay, I know what you want to say. In any case, we are all deceased, and the things prepared for Sakura in this state cannot be called inheritance."

Tahir interrupted him calmly and forcefully again, and changed the subject.

His attitude of avoiding the important point was too obvious, so that Wang Yu, who didn't know how to resolve it for a while, had no choice but to follow his words to continue the discussion.

"Indeed, I just thought that as long as it is what Sakura wants, I can send it to her. I didn't realize that I had to prepare more property for her. Uh--family property, as a shrine for my treasures I can’t stay here, I can only think about other things.”

"This is not your responsibility alone, Ramses. I specifically raised this matter so that we can discuss it together. After all, my experience in this area is far inferior to yours."

"..."

Pharaoh thought, what kind of experience, is it the experience of being raised by his father, queen and concubine and then inheriting the throne?He didn't raise children either.

"You can keep a lot of superficial things like gold, silver and jewelry, but you should add more types. What else can you leave for Sakura? To build another temple? To take care of her lifelong servants? Or just give her the land of Egypt?"

"Although it is possible, it is not necessary if Sakura can't use it."

This is a little trickier.

The pharaoh couldn't figure out what to prepare for his beloved daughter to be perfect.

The money he can give now is enough to make Ying rich for a lifetime, as long as the money is rich, there are naturally many things that can be done with it, it seems to be a once and for all solution.

But it won't work for a long time.

Does Sakura have any deeper hopes?There should be.

Their daughter is not an ordinary person. As a magician in this world, as long as she has something to do with mystery, she will inevitably encounter danger.

Tahir is thinking about whether there is a way to increase Sakura's self-protection ability.

He remembered the spells he had learned back then.

Spells are the same as the current magic, but they are called differently.He was thousands of years ago at that time, and the age of the gods had not yet completely ended. According to the law that the longer the age, the stronger the power, the spells he mastered were naturally much stronger than modern magic.

If conditions permit, Tahir wants to teach Sakura all the spells he has learned right now.

There was no look of anxiety on his face, and no one could feel that he was anxious.

However, it must be admitted.

When I learned that Sakura was working hard to learn magic, and at the same time insisted on learning the skills he learned just for duty, just to get to know him better and get closer to him...

Tahir has mixed feelings.

He was touched, but at the same time he had to feel helpless. It seemed that his anxious state of mind had to continue.

——How can we truly implement the special identity of "father" perfectly?

For unknown reasons, Tahir was inexplicably obsessed with this problem after waking up.

Ozymandias seemed to be able to guess most of it, and he could fully understand his impatience hidden under his cold appearance.

Therefore, Pharaoh also began to cooperate actively.

Driven by the same purpose, the two of them naturally lived together in the same room.

To the outside world (mainly to find an explanation that they think is reasonable for the daughter) it is declared that there are important things to discuss, so the fathers will live in the same bedroom temporarily during this period.

The daughter said empathetically that she knew it and would never ask why, but the smile on her face seemed a little overjoyed.

In the words of a certain snake who did not want to reveal her identity, it is——a daughter who has witnessed her parents breaking up because of their relationship for ten years is finally able to see the happy smile of her parents reunited.

Well, it seems more than just gratification.

From Sakura's point of view, it's probably necessary to add a hint of "so father and adults were really serious about separating before!"

She thought they should just be separated in a famous way, but she didn't expect...

Ah, sorry, I lost my train of thought accidentally.

Fortunately, the content of the girl's secret thoughts has not been exposed, and the old fathers thought that they had not exposed either, and the behavior of entering and exiting together was grandiose, and there was no cover-up.

As if to prove to her daughter with words and deeds that although they are true lovers of each other, their relationship is as it should be very pure!

——There is no need to be pure at this time, these two idiots!

A certain snake who didn't want to reveal his identity is going to insult humans online again.

cough.

All in all, although they lived together again, neither the pharaoh nor the high priest had any intention of indulging in an affair.

They were seriously discussing how to plan for Sakura's future in advance.

It's not that the two of them will directly interfere with Sakura's future choices, it's just that they always feel that the more and more lists they make are not perfect enough.

I have to add a little more time and time again to ensure that one day in the future when the two of them are gone, Sakura can still have enough confidence to do what she really wants to do.

In fact, the content added at a time is more than "a little", but when one person adds countless in one breath, the other person will rationally pour cold water on it and ruthlessly cross out the obviously unreasonable regulations.

"It's impossible for Sakura to become the queen of Egypt, Ramses, this is a reality that we, as remnants of the past, cannot interfere too much."

The Pharaoh was finally forced to cut off unrealistic ideas completely.

"You too, Tahir, make an amulet that can reflect all curses and malice and protect the holder's safety in all directions-is there such an amulet?"

Then he quickly turned back a round, making the high priest suddenly remember that there is no such a useful amulet.

Even if there is... Unfortunately, the current Tahir cannot do it.

"No, there are too many loopholes in this idea."

one said.

"You didn't think about it, cross it out."

Another person followed closely.

For the convenience of communication, they sat face to face across a table at the beginning, coincidentally, it coincided with the most frequent scene during a certain period of time they spent harmoniously during their lifetime.

But later, the picture changed unconsciously.

Tahir still has problems with his eyes.

He couldn't read clearly when he was alone, and sitting with Ozymandias, he couldn't raise his eyes to meet the man's gaze, which was quite inconvenient.

Thus, the pharaoh who was stung by the still existing "curse" looked away silently, and said after a long silence, "Then you, sit in front of me."

"Whatever you want to see, what you want to cross out, I will replace you. You only hear my voice, and I can only hear your voice."

As long as they don't look at each other, and don't think about staring at the other person's current face, they can coexist smoothly.

There is no more sad result than finding that the people in love still have to keep a "distance" when they have finally ushered in the peace that has finally settled after a huge ups and downs.

The Pharaoh was so saddened by this that he was almost overwhelmed.

Fortunately, this time, Tahir did not refuse.

Today, he only avoids questions he doesn't want to answer without hesitation when he can avoid them.

When it made Ramses feel painful, he reflected on his past behavior and no longer wanted to go away.

"Since going to the opposite side can help you hear better, I'll just come over."

He got up, raised his steps, and walked around obstacles in a particularly graceful manner, even when he sat down on the king's knee, every move was the same.

A period of silence passed.

Not long after, the blond priest sitting in the arms of the king was as cold and noble as usual, but added an extra sentence:

"Don't you think the distance is a bit too close now?"

"Huh? Not at all, but I think it can be a little closer."

The Pharaoh, who encircled him from behind, took an inch, and his arms locked his lover's waist extremely tightly.

So far, the progress between them seems to be finally - really finally - a long way to a long-overdue destination.

However, when it is about to go further.

I don't know who said something inexplicably: "It suddenly occurred to me that the things we prepared for Sakura are not equivalent to the so-called 'dowry'? It seems that there is still such a saying now."

what.

"Dowry", or the term "dowry", is very familiar.

It's a noun related to marriage, right?

It's also a noun related to a daughter marrying into a man's house who appeared out of nowhere—something so unreasonable, right?

All of a sudden, a startlingly real problem cropped up from the sky.

Ozymandias and Tahir forgot again, Sakura is now 16 years old, not yet old enough to marry.

But she, even if it's not now - in the future, she should be with a man who meets the criteria of "coming out of nowhere" and marry him.

Tahir: "... Falling in love with people and successfully marrying them is a lucky thing that deserves to be blessed. We—"

Before Pharaoh could express his opinion, another astonishing reality followed, which he caught off guard.

——A strange man who "came out of nowhere for no apparent reason" came to the door.

——Holding a gift in his hand (actually, it was a dish that someone planned to bring back to his own house), he was still chanting the name of their beloved daughter.

Pharaoh (furious): "Come right now! I want to—"

"Burn it up."

"...?"

"Ah, I accidentally expressed my hidden true thoughts. What I mean is, it's better to solve the troubles before the crisis comes."

"...I still haven't hidden it. However, Yu also thinks so!"

Emiya Shiro's tragedy started from this moment.

It was so unfortunate that he appeared.

so far so good.

The poor and innocent teenager was not really hung on the top of the pyramid by the old fathers who had a sense of crisis, and received the direct sunlight.

It wasn't Sakura and the completely sluggish Zhenguest who rescued him, he relied on himself to save him.

"I... just came to return the book..."

"Okay, no one pays attention to me... OK..."

"excuse me!!!"

The red-haired boy couldn't bear it anymore, and burst into an astonishing aura: "I am Emiya Shirou who accepted Matou-senpai's invitation and came to serve as a chef with dishes! Please--more--advice--teach!!!"

He was forced to borrow the modern kitchen that God knows how to appear in the pyramid, and use the ingredients he bought to cook a table full of dishes.

"..."

"I don't know why, but I suddenly lost interest in burying this dark history immediately."

No matter what other people think, one of the guests, the white-haired red-clothed hero, silently let go of his eyes out of sympathy.
