Chapter 744 Winter Night (Asking for Monthly Votes)
"Yeah, um, no need. Yes, I'm at Tatexing-san's place, along with my sister and a few other friends. We've made an appointment."
Tohsaka Rin held the phone obediently because the person opposite was his homeroom teacher Soichiro Kuzuki.
"Thank you for your concern and invitation, teacher. I wish you a happy winter night. Well, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, she rolled her eyes slightly. Why did I subconsciously answer the ringing phone? It almost scared me to death. And why did Mr. Kuzumu know the number here?
Oh yes, Tachiboshi used this phone to ask for leave from him, and Mr. Kuzumu still cared about Tachibana very much.
"Are you done with the phone call? Put your feet up."
There was a slightly harsh voice next to her. Tohsaka Rin hurriedly yelled, turned around and moved away. Then she saw Mordred taking the mop and rubbing it on the ground she just stepped on, and then dragged it to other places furiously, rubbing the ground all over. Brilliant.
"Okay, have you wiped the soles of your shoes?"
"Yeah, yes."
Tohsaka Rin responded and left. At a glance, he saw Arturia rubbing the corners with a rag, and Weber who was watering flowers outside the window.
In the kitchen, Tatexing and Sakura were also busy preparing the most sumptuous winter night dinner.
Among the three people who don't work, the Conqueror King and Shishi Jie who are playing chess are because they are really not good at housework and make trouble when they do it, so they are ordered to do their own thing. As for the little ghost Cupid who is peeling candy to eat, it is just pure love. Too lazy.
If you're a glutton, eat more. You'll regret it when you can't eat dinner.
Tohsaka Rin cursed, squatted down, washed a rag, and started doing it with Artoria. There was no need to ask why I answered the phone. I stayed here for ten days and got along well with everyone. I subconsciously felt that I was also the owner of this place, so I answered the call easily.
If others are comfortable with it, they will probably be too.
‘Winter night, so fast. ’
'Well, it's not the end of the world, at most... it means saying goodbye to a few people. ’
In the kitchen, the bacteria that had been working in the body had calmed down. Ji Xing, who was skillfully playing with a kitchen knife, asked casually: "Xiaoying, are you worried?"
Sakura, who was choosing vegetables, raised her head and subconsciously glanced outside, hearing Ji Xing say: "They can't hear it, and it doesn't matter if they hear it."
Sakura hummed and then asked, "Will you leave again tonight?"
Unless someone can kill me. Ji Xing answered in his heart and asked: "I haven't asked you yet, Sakura. I just found out a few days ago that Jin Shining Shining was summoned with my bamboo hat. I always thought that the bamboo hat had disappeared long ago.
It was probably preserved due to being contaminated by the golden aura of the Heroic Soul Constellation. Why do you want to summon me? Ten years have passed and you still haven’t gotten over the memory of the torture in the insect warehouse? "
"I don't know either." Sakura was silent for a moment and replied: "I think I don't care anymore, but it's always..."
"Maybe you have come out, but the people around you have not." Ji Xing commented: "Rin, Tokiomi Tokiomi, and Aoi Tosaka, they have not come out. They will always subconsciously make up for their debt to you, Subconsciously, I feel that you are still the girl who was sent to the Matou family and suffered.
Although they are family members, they treat you with caution from time to time, constantly reminding you that you have an unfortunate past, which makes you feel very conflicted. "
Sakura blinked and said with some realization: "Probably...that's what it looks like. What I can notice is that my mother behaves the most obviously, and even my father and Rin do it occasionally.
For example, the night I summoned the King of Heroes with your bamboo hat, I... really didn't know what to say to my sister. Also, when I used the clothes I saved from my childhood to dress up Kama, I found that she could also relate to the fact that I couldn't forget the past, but in fact it was really just a memory. "
"Continuous imagination will deepen the shadow of the soul. When they think of the suffering you have suffered in trivial life, they will become more and more sensitive, but this also shows that they have a very real love for you. Slowly get used to it and neutralize it. Enough."
Ji Xing shook his head: "You haven't answered me yet, why did you summon me?"
Sakura paused and replied with a bright smile: "It's because of now."
Ji Xing was startled and said with a smile: "Little girl, you have really grown up and you know how to tease me."
Xiaoying blushed and lowered her head to choose the dishes, then whispered: "I know you can understand me, and I also want you to see me now, so that you know that I have lived up to your expectations.
And...Uncle Kariya, I really expected to win the Holy Grail War. "
"Matō Kariya, if I was who I am now ten years ago, I could easily save him. It's really a pity." Ji Xing said.
"Well..." Sakura responded in a low voice and changed the subject: "You haven't answered my question yet. Are you leaving again tonight? Where is your body? Well... how old are you? Yes. A little bit like Tong Yuan or a little bit like now?”
"I won't leave if I can. As for the real body, it's very, very far away. I can't tell. As for my age, forget it if I'm too lazy. I'll always be eighteen."
"...You didn't answer anything?!" Sakura showed a little dissatisfaction.
"Haha..." Ji Xing laughed.
Tohsaka Rin, who walked through the glass door of the kitchen carrying a rag, watched his sister's expression change from anger to a happy smile, and blinked... Huh?
…
Winter Night is a festival, and it is likely to be the 'last supper' before the decisive battle, so it is natural that it will be richer.
Only Ji Xing could be busy without being chaotic. In less than two hours, he prepared a large table with cold, hot and soup dishes, chicken, duck, fish, beef and mutton, a total of 17 dishes.
Should we take a group photo?
I don’t know who first proposed this, and it was unanimously agreed, but the problem is, everyone is standing at the round table, who will take the photo?
Weber was seriously calculating what magic and what angle to use to achieve a good effect, and Toosaka Rin suddenly sank.
"No need, the person who takes the photo is here."
Everyone felt it, and the next moment, they saw a flash of golden light in the room, and the still shining Jin Shanshan appeared in front of everyone.
So the atmosphere of celebration became cold, and Mordred was the most obvious.
"Tsk, the annoying guy showed up."
"Hahaha, the last dinner before the expedition should have had a lot of people, not to mention one of the protagonists tonight!" The Conqueror King didn't care: "But Hero King, you suddenly came uninvited, at least you should provide some fine wine and golden cups, right?"
"Hmph, I know that kind of thing without you saying it." Jin Shanshan said: "I don't have the habit of eating for free, I just want to confirm that you won't cause trouble tonight. There are countless fine wines in my treasure house, and although these on the table are delicious, they are just ordinary court cooking in Uruk."
The words were still so unpleasant.
But the golden wine pot and golden wine cup he took out from the treasure house later, as well as the intoxicating fragrance, finally prevented Mordred from getting angry on the spot.
This guy is still a bit of a good guy... As she thought so, the Conqueror King took the initiative to fill a glass for the few people who were drinking, and the aroma of wine was overflowing.
"Also, let's take a picture of everyone." Toosaka Rin took the opportunity to suggest, and handed the work camera that Lion Jie carried with him to Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh was silent for a moment, and the people at the table were already posing... Weber, who looked helpless under the armpit of the laughing Conqueror King, the father and son who were arm in arm and gradually smiled, and Lion Jie who went to Mordred to get close to the camera.
The Toosaka sisters tilted their heads to the sides like flowers, Ji Xing was placed behind them with a smile, and Kama jumped high onto Ji Xing's shoulder and pulled a face to act cute...
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Gilgamesh endured and endured, and felt that he really shouldn't have come, so he stepped back a few steps and raised the camera.
Then the camera flashed in Gilgamesh's hand. Although there was no gold, it finally recorded this shining scene.
"Hahaha, hiss~ha~"
Seeing that the photo was taken, the King of Conquerors, who could not wait, drank a glass of wine first, closed his eyes and sighed: "Good wine! It is indeed good wine! Alas, it is a pity that you should have come earlier, Hero King!
Everyone, let's still follow the old rules and let the first taster start first?"
He didn't need him to say anything, Jin Shanshan had already sat in the main seat and picked up the chopsticks unceremoniously, "The King's Feast, if I don't taste it first, do you have the right to come first?"
For the sake of taking pictures, the others endured it and looked forward to appreciating his reaction.
The level of the chef in the Uruk Palace? Don't be ridiculous, then you were not a king before, and you would have lived a fairy life every day!
Jin Shanshan noticed this expectation and didn't take it seriously, until he picked up a chopstick of mutton and put it in his mouth, his expression suddenly became dead silent.
Hey, you have to endure it well, don't be as "embarrassed" as us, Hero King! Seeing this, Mordred was immediately gloating, and the others also looked at him with a smile.
Jin Shanshan chewed slowly, swallowed, then looked up and looked at Ji Xing. There seemed to be thousands of emotions flashing in his eyes, and finally turned into one sentence: "Huh, you are really amazing."
Most people didn't feel strange, just thought that Ji Xing's cooking skills conquered another person, and the King of Heroes was just trying to show calmness.
Ji Xing smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, everyone... Let's start eating soon, the hot dishes will be cold in a while, and the taste will be worse. This is the last meal, don't leave any regrets."
"What? Say something unlucky." Mordred immediately said: "Well, it's really hard to say. If the Holy Grail War ends tonight, it will really be the last meal for us... Alas, so... I won't be polite to you to grab the food tonight!"
After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks, his hands were like afterimages, and he started spinning!
"Hey, hey, too cunning! You use sad words to influence us, and you eat by yourself, right?"
With the complaints of Lion Jie, tonight's feast officially began. In the midst of the wind and clouds, Jin Shanshan still held his chopsticks and looked at Ji Xing, until Ji Xing made a gesture of invitation, then he hummed and joined the feast of the five groups of masters and heroic spirits.
Outside the window, the afterglow of the sun completely disappeared.
The winter night has officially arrived!
