As a Ninja, I Just Want to Eat Soft Rice in Xingyue Chapter 137

The muscles on Kirei's body are so strong... Higashino Kou was caught off guard by this bear hug, and couldn't help baring his teeth.

"I haven't seen Kirei for three years, you seem to have changed a bit." Higashino Kanou patted Kotomine Kirei on the back, and then struggled to get out of the other's bear hug.

Compared with three years ago, Kotomine Kirei now looks like a spring breeze at first glance. His face that was extremely depressed in the past now wears a relaxed and happy smile, which is very contagious, very similar to the priest on TV.

"Since I found what I'm really after, I'm living happily every day, so the change must be relatively large." Kotomine Kirei put his right hand behind his back and smiled happily.

"Oh, how do you say that?" Dong Yezao couldn't help but feel curious.

Kotomine Kirei leaned closer to Higashino Sou's ear and whispered:

"Because believers who are unfortunate or encounter difficulties come here to pray every day. After listening to their unfortunate experiences, I will use God's name to enlighten them. I am very satisfied to see them leave contentedly."

"...You are really a good person, Kirei." Higashino Kou didn't know what to say for a while, the current painting style of Kotomine Kirei had changed too much.

"This is the job of the priest. The priest is there to give guidance to the lost lambs. Of course, there is also a little bit of my interest in it."

Kotomine Kirei drew a cross on his chest, then pushed Karen out, and introduced enthusiastically:

"This is my daughter Kallen, who has been fostered by me in the church since she was born. I brought her back after the Holy Grail War."

"Karen, please call Uncle Higashino." Kotomine Kirei gestured to Kallen with his eyes.

"No! Stupid father, is your brain on the same level as Paramecium's? He obviously looks only a few years older than me." Karen pointed at Higashino Kanade, and looked at Kotomine Kirei with quite disgusted eyes.

"Higashi-kun is father's friend, what's wrong with calling you uncle?"

"No, no, no! I can't accept it! If you're forcing me, go out for lunch." Kallen turned her back to Kirei rather dissatisfied, and hugged her chest with dissatisfied hands.

Kotomine Kirei's expression froze, as if he had been pinched into a weakness, he could only show an embarrassed smile.

"Hehe, Higashino-kun, Karen has never listened to me since she was a child. This is very similar to her mother."

Higashino Zuo also smoothed things over and said, "It's okay, I also think it's a bit old to call me uncle, just call me brother."

"Who are these two?" Kotomine Kirei looked at the people behind Higashino Kou.

"This is Canozaki Chengzi, who is currently my magic consultant. The one who is about the same age as Kallen is Grey, my new apprentice." Higashino Kou introduced in turn.

"Aozaki Orange..." Kotomine Kirei rubbed his chin to recall, feeling that the name sounded very familiar.

As if remembering something, Kotomine Kirei suddenly realized, "Oh, it's the pain..."

"Look at the fist!"

Before Kotomine Kirei could say the last word, Higashino Kou hurriedly hit Kotomine Kirei on the chin with a Rising Dragon Ba, sending him flying several meters away.

"Cheng Zi, this friend of mine has some brain problems, don't mind." Dong Yezao turned around and laughed.

"Cut——" Aoqi Chengzi pursed his lips in displeasure, took out a cigarette from his pocket, turned around and walked outside the church.

"I'll go out to get some air, and call me when we're done talking."

"Go slowly."

Higashino Kano watched Aoqi Chengzi leave, and he was relieved until Aoqi Chengzi disappeared from sight.

"Kirei, I saved your life just now, do you know that?"

Kotomine Kirei squatted down in front of the fallen Kotomine Kirei, and poked his body with an angry hand.

"Ah, what's the matter, did I do something wrong?" Kotomine Kirei rubbed his aching chin with a dazed expression.

"In front of Cheng Zi, that name is taboo. She once swore to kill everyone who called her by that name." Kotomine Kirei cast a glance at Higashino Kanou, shrugged helplessly, and said, "She wants to kill you, I can't stop it."

"Did I almost get targeted by the crown puppeteer? It's really a close call." Kotomine Kirei patted his chest in fear, then stood up and patted the dust off his clothes.

"Higashino-kun, you didn't come to me today just to reminisce about the past, right?" Kotomine Kirei asked.

"Yes, I still want to ask you something."

Kanou Higashino sat casually on a row of chairs in the church, and Kotomine Kirei sat down beside him.

"Talk to me about what happened after the Holy Grail War, Kirei, three years after I left."

"I don't have all the information about what happened after the Holy Grail War, because I'm from the Church of the Holy Church, but I will tell you everything I know."

Kotomine Kirei paused, organized his words and said:

"Not long after you left, the investigation team from the Magic Association came to Fuyuki City to investigate the process of the Fourth Holy Grail War. My father, I, and Mr. Tokiomi were all interviewed. They also learned from Mr. Tokiomi and My father learned that you and Assassin were the winners of the Holy Grail War."

"The investigation team left after a month-long investigation. It didn't take long for the Magic Association to send another group of people to find Mr. Tokiomi. The leader of this group was a big shot. Don't dare to underestimate her."

"Who is this person?" Higashino asked curiously.

"Sovereign Lord Bathermelo Lorelei, Assistant to the Headmaster of the Clock Tower, the current Marshal of Magic, a very oppressive woman..."

Speaking of this, Kotomine Kirei's eyes couldn't help trembling, as if he was deeply afraid of the other party.

"A second-rate ritual in the countryside can actually alarm her! Why isn't she busy chasing and killing the twenty-seven ancestors to investigate the Holy Grail War?"

Koto Higashino also showed a rather shocked expression. During the experience of studying in the Clock Tower, he heard the name of Barthamelo Lorelei more than once.

If there is anyone who can lead the entire magic world in modern times, besides Gemstone, there is only Bathmelo Lorelei.

"Now the Holy Grail War has been defined as a taboo ritual that threatens the entire world."

Kotomine Kirei added.

"I'm not sure about the purpose of Lord Bather-Melo, maybe Tokiomi-sensei will know, because Lord Bather-Melo only went to two places in Fuyuki City, one is the Tohsaka family, and the other is that it has declined to a common place. The Matou family of the human family heard from Mr. Tokiomi that the other party came to Fuyuki City to reach an agreement with him."

"When Lord Bathermelo left, he took the Great Holy Grail and forged the foundation of the Holy Grail system in Fuyuki City. As for the purpose, I don't know."

Kotomine Kirei shook his head.

It seems that it is necessary to ask Tohsaka Tokiomi about the inside story when he visits Tohsaka's house... Higashino Kou made a temporary decision in his heart.

In the following time, Kotomine Kirei and Higashino talked about other things, and the time soon came to eleven o'clock in the morning.

Higashino took out his cell phone and looked at the time. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and said goodbye:

"Kirei, I'm still busy and left first. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to Guanbuzi City to find me."

"Is it so fast? Don't you want to stay for lunch? Karen's cooking skills are very good, especially her mapo tofu, which tastes better than those in Taishan Mansion." Kotomine Kirei stood up to persuade him to stay.

No! The mapo tofu you eat is not something that ordinary people can eat... Dong Yezuo's eyes twitched, and he hastily refused:

"No, no, next time. I'm very busy today, so I'll try Karen's handicraft another day."

Dong Yezao deliberately added an accent to the word "very busy".

"That would be such a pity."

Kotomine Kirei sighed with regret on his face, as if regretting that Higashino Kano could not eat the peerless delicacy.

Higashino took Gray, got into the car driven by Chengzi and left.

Kotomine Kirei stood at the gate of the church, watching Higashino Kou go away, until the back of the car disappeared from sight for a long time before Kotomine Kirei let out a long sigh:

"Hey——Higashi-kun is gone again. After he leaves, who else can understand my pursuit?"

"My stupid father, is this brother named Dongye so important to you?"

Karen did not know when she appeared behind Kotomine Kirei, ripples appeared in her golden eyes.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for Higashino-kun, I might never know what I really want for the rest of my life."

Kotomine Kirei covered Kallen's head with his hand, stroking Kallen's head through the hat.

"If it wasn't for him, I might never have realized how important you and your mother are to me."

"The friendship between men is really strange. Idiot father, it's time to go back to eat, let's eat mapo tofu with rice for lunch." Kallen stuck out her tongue, stretched out her hand to grab the corner of Kotomine Kirei's clothes and urged.

"Well, it's time to go back. Karen, you are such a filial daughter." Kotomine Kirei smiled gratifiedly, and praised someone other than Higashino Kanade once in a while.

"It's really unlucky for me to have your idiot father. When will you bring a woman back to help me share the pressure of life." Karen rolled her eyes angrily.

"I love your mother..."

Kotomine Kirei fell into a long silence, his eyes full of guilt and heartache. At this moment, Kotomine Kirei seemed to have aged a lot, turned around and left with heavy steps.

...

According to the address left by Emiya Kiritsugu, Higashino Kou and his party quickly arrived at the gate of Emiya Kiritsugu's house, which is next door to Higashino's house.

Fearing that Emiya Kiritsugu or others would make Aozaki Touko angry with their clumsy mouth, Higashino Kanaru specially arranged for Aozaki Touko to take a one-day vacation, let her go around Fuyuki City, and would contact her by phone if something happened.

After sending Higashinozou and Grey to the door of Emiya's house, Aoqi Chengzi left the car behind, and left alone, saying "it's nice to have a paid vacation" before leaving.

Higashino came to the door of Wei Gong's house, stretched out his hand and rang the doorbell.

Ding dong - ding dong -

Taking advantage of the gap between the ringing of the doorbell, Higashino took a look at the Weigong family, and found that the Weigong family was similar to the Higashino family as a whole. The main body was a large Japanese-style two-story house. There was a large yard outside the house, and there was a warehouse in the yard. , a small pond, and two rows of drying racks, which are full of clothes and sheets.

"Oh, is Illya back? It's still a while before school ends."

A slightly suspicious voice came from the yard, and after a burst of hurried footsteps, a beautiful woman with long silver hair in ordinary women's home clothes came to the gate.

Is it an artificial human from Einzbern... Higashino saw that this strange woman was somewhat similar to Irisviel.

The woman leaned over to look at Higashino Kou who was wearing a mask at the door and Gray who was covered in a cloak, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she murmured with a forced smile: "Why are there two suspicious children at the door?"

"Two children, are you lost?" The woman calmed down and asked kindly.

Child, you are the child... Higashino Zuo felt resentment towards his age in his heart. He was over 50 in his three lifetimes, but his apparent age was still only thirteen or fourteen. He really wanted to grow up quickly!

"Ahem, I'm a friend of Emiya Kiritsugu. I came to Fuyuki City to visit him specially this time. Please let me know." Higashino Kanao lowered his voice to make himself sound more mature.

"Master's friend!?"

The woman looked at Dong Yezuo suspiciously, hesitated and said, "I'm going to ask the master, please wait a moment."

"Yes." Dong Yezao agreed.

The woman turned around and walked quickly into the house. After a while, a male figure hurried out of the house.

When the man saw Dong Yezao, his expression was visibly shocked, and he asked in a trembling voice:

"Is it Higashino?"

"It's me, I haven't seen Kiritsugu for several years." Higashino Kou took off his mask to reveal his identity, and at the same time complained in his heart: Although it's just over a week for me.

"It's really you! You're back."

"Yes, I just came back from that era."

Dong Yezuo pointed to the house in front of him, and said with a smile: "Why, don't you invite me in for a sit down?"

"Come in, Allie has been nagging your name all these years, and Allie will be very happy to see you coming."

Emiya Kiritsugu opened the door with a smile on his face.

Following Emiya Kiritsugu into the house, while changing shoes at the entrance, a familiar voice came from the living room.

"Dongye Zuo, it's really you, long time no see!"

As soon as Dongye Zuo turned around, a silver figure rushed over and hugged Dongye Zuo into his arms.

"The appearance really hasn't changed at all, it's still so good-looking. I've wanted to visit you a long time ago, but Kiritsugu never let you go."

Irisviel happily kneaded Higashino Kanade's face, and looked at Higashino Kanade's face with admiring eyes, as if she was playing with a beautiful toy.

"Madam, please respect yourself."

Higashino felt that his face was hurting, and there was a faint tendency to disfigure, so he hurriedly pushed Irisvier away gently.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Dong Yezao, you are too good-looking, I couldn't hold back for a while."

Seeing Higashino Kou's painful expression, Irisviel stuck out her tongue mischievously, then looked behind Higashino Kou, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Where's Miss Liangyi? Didn't she come with you?"

"Shi is going to school, and I brought my apprentice here today."

Higashinozou said, pulling the shy Grei to Irisviel, and introduced: "This is my new disciple, Grei. Grei, come and say hello to everyone."

ps: 4000 words are still...

278. Chapter 275

Gray shrank back timidly, took a small step forward, and bravely said:

"My name is Gray, I'm from Wales, and I'm currently working under the master."
