Chapter 4: It was your lie to come forward, and the quarrel was your purpose!
After the Matou family left Broly, the headless corpse in the insect warehouse had some insects regrouped at the head position to form a new old man's head.
"What a dangerous kid. This kind of power cannot be possessed by normal humans, but he can't sense the magical aura on the opponent. That guy should be a heroic spirit."
This is the only explanation, and it is precisely because Matou Zangyan understands the gap between himself and the heroic spirit that he pretends to be dead after his head is blown off. After all, the main body is in this insect warehouse, and he is really afraid that if he fights, his body will be destroyed. The main body was affected.
"It is not a secret that the Matou family participated in this Holy Grail War, but who is the guy behind the attacker? Why did you take away Sakura's child from the Matou family? Do you think you can use that child to go to war? Threaten the Matou family, or are you planning to use the other party to threaten the Tosaka family?"
Matou Zangyan muttered to himself, walked out of the basement, walked in the corridor outside, and stopped suddenly at a corner window.
“Perhaps, this could also be an attacker sent by Tokiomi Tokiomi, and the reason is that Tokiomi Tokiomi discovered that the Matou family’s magic has changed from water-based to insect-based. , because I don’t want to betray the relationship with the Matou family. The old man's ghoul-like appearance was reflected on the glass window, but his slender eyes were reflecting on his own. He narrowed his eyes while speaking.
“No, with the character of Tokiomi Tokiomi, who is obsessed with the Tosaka family’s rigid family tradition, he is not someone who would betray the covenant secretly, but with the other party’s absolute calmness and competence like a magician, the so-called pro I am afraid that love is not enough to make that person do something that violates the principles, but this is something that is impossible to say. Human beings are relatively complex emotional creatures. What if that kid Tokiomi Tohsaka..."
Having said this, Matou Zouken stopped.
"I am also a little confused. This kind of thing must be tested after all. And if you can make it clear by testing, why make random guesses here?"
Matou Zangyan shook his head. Keep going.
“Hey, grandpa, you are at home?!”
As soon as I walked to the corner, I bumped into my grandson.
"Ah, no, now is not the time to talk about this. Grandpa, Sakura has been kidnapped by a dangerous guy. Go and save her."
[This stupid grandson has no talent as a magician, but he has the innocence and kindness of a child. He doesn’t know how this innocence will be twisted into after he grows up and realizes that he is a waste without talent. Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it...
Huh?
I, the elder of the Matou family, actually expect the distortion and pain of future generations. It seems that my soul is also a little broken. The Holy Grail, the Holy Grail, I have to get it quickly, before I completely forget it. Before his own existence as a magician, but before that...]
"Shenji, have you finished your homework for the holiday?"
"Uh, I haven't finished it yet, grandpa. Now is not the time to talk about this!”
The young second grandfather was a little anxious, but he still answered his grandfather's question.
“I haven’t finished my homework yet, so what nonsense are you talking to me about here?”
The charming smile on Matou Zangyan’s face disappeared and he directly faced the young second master scolded.
"Go back to your room and do your holiday homework."
"But Sakura..."
"That's just your sister Giri. Don't worry about her affairs."
The second master was aggrieved when he was young, but he did not dare to disobey his grandfather's will and could only go back to his room.
. . . .
In Fuyuki City, where the Fourth Holy Grail War has begun, a conflict is taking place in a restaurant specializing in rice bowls.
What happened was that Broly was eating the pork chop rice bowl very well, but suddenly the rice bowl restaurant stopped serving him any more food.
"Why don't you continue serving food?"
"I would like to continue serving you food, but you two kids have ordered so many things, do you really have the money to pay the bill?"
The restaurant owner crossed his arms and said questioning words. The current social and economic situation is not very prosperous. Some people came to his restaurant to eat Bawang Meal a while ago and place orders.
Today, the little kid, who has no hair and is no taller than his thighs, started to show off after entering the restaurant. When asked about the adults, he said that the adults would be here soon.
As a result, less than half of what I ordered was served, and before I could see the adults the two little kids were talking about, the restaurant owner couldn't help but wonder if this was a freeloader who came to his restaurant again, and most of the food was left. Before it was even served, I walked out to ask about the situation.
"Money?"
Broly was stunned for a moment, and then the interpretation of money came to his mind, which was a common transaction for buying food.
Broly understood immediately that it should be the Baya blood of this world, but he did not have such a thing, so he couldn't help but look at the young Sakura.
"Excuse me, how much does the thing we ordered cost?"
The girl asked politely.
"Including those rice bowls that haven't been served yet, you have to pay in total..."
The restaurant owner said a number, and the young Sakura took out the pocket money given by Matou Shinji and counted it carefully. I found that the coins in my hand were only enough to pay a small change.
The restaurant owner also saw the girl's embarrassment, so he added: "If you only count the things that have been eaten by you, you only need to give me another two thousand yen."< br>
Young Sakura: "..."
This is the disadvantage of not going to elementary school yet. I can't even make the simplest additions and subtractions, and the food money obviously exceeds the budget.
The young Sakura looked at Broly, as if she wanted to seek help from the older boy, but Broly looked at her innocently.
If the young Sakura can be considered a child in a civilized society, then Broly is a pure little savage on a deserted planet in the Dragon Ball world.
His father Paragas only taught him the knowledge of fighting, but did not teach him arithmetic, and the information that appeared in his mind from time to time did not teach him either.
So, Broly is also a bastard who only cares about ordering food and not doing calculations.
At this moment, without the blood (money) of Baya in this world, he could not do much to help the girl in front of him.
The meeting of eyes and the innocent look in Broly's eyes made the young Sakura realize one thing, that is, the little brother with a tail who saved her from the insect warehouse seemed to be a poor man who couldn't even afford a normal meal. , she could only look at the restaurant owner: "I don't have any more money."
"If you are short of money, you can ask an adult to pay the bill."
The restaurant owner said.
The young Sakura was a little silent. When she left Matou's house, she thought that she could finally go back to her real home.
It wasn’t until I followed Broly into this restaurant to work, that I suddenly thought of what my father said to me when he sent me out.
"Sakura, starting from today, your surname will be changed to Matou. You will not be a child of the Tohsaka family. Neither I nor your mother will have anything to do with you.
In the future, if you When you face Rin again, don't treat her as your sister. You will be both companions and rivals on the path of magic.
If one day, you sisters have to fight with each other, please don’t feel sad. On the contrary, you should be happy that your magic qualifications have not been wasted..."
The father who has already said the words of severing ties, does the current family really have a place for himself?
The young Sakura didn't know it, but she knew that if the restaurant owner found her biological father, Tokiomi Tosaka, because she had no money to pay back the meal, it would definitely make that elegant gentleman act like a The father felt ashamed and embarrassed.
"I have no family, my parents no longer want me."
The young Sakura said with great disappointment.
Restaurant owner: "???"
"So, do you want to eat the King's meal?"
His face was a little unhappy and his tone was unpleasant. Becoming unkind.
"I can help pay off the debt."
The young Sakura quickly said that her magic qualifications allowed her to receive more education, including magician's covenants and transactions.
This is also the reason why she was ignorant but not noisy when she was sent to Matou's house. Overall, she is a sensible child.
And her sensible nature also made her want to use her labor to pay for the shortfall in meal expenses, but she ignored the fact that she was too young.
“Are you kidding me? What can a little kid like you do?”
The restaurant owner obviously did not accept this proposal, and he did not look at the clothes of the two children as children from poor families or children wandering outside. He only thought that they were children who had a tantrum with their family members and wanted girls at all costs. Call home and ask your parents to come over.
"Reminder, Matou Sakura's happiness value is decreasing. Please pay attention to her situation."
In his consciousness, the reminder of the Crystal Palace appeared again, and Broly realized that the girl was unhappy. Willing. "Hey, don't embarrass her."
He said directly.
Hearing this, the restaurant owner looked over and asked, "Do you have the money to pay off the debt?"
"I don't."
Broly shook his head decisively, if he had this world If he wanted Baya's blood, he would have given it to him long ago.
"Then can you call home and ask your parents for money?"
The restaurant owner asked again.
"I don't know who my mother is, but my father is not in this world."
Broly shook his head again and answered.
“You have no money, and you can’t call home to ask for money, so are you kidding me?”
It looks more and more like eating a Bawang meal, so The restaurant owner became even more angry.
“Do you believe that I called the police to come and arrest you two bad kids who don’t pay for food?”
The restaurant owner said in a scare, not realizing that the eyes of the children next to him were gradually becoming dangerous.
Broly does not have Baya blood in this world, but in the past he did not have the concept of using Baya blood in exchange for food.
When he was younger, the way he and his father Paragas obtained food on the Vampa planet was by hunting the Vampa spider itself in the most primitive way.
In other words, hunting down the restaurant owner who owns the food in front of him is the easiest way for Broly to solve the problem of not having enough Baya blood to trade food.
However, the act of obtaining food without trading may cause damage to the ecological balance. However, before smelling the aroma and entering this restaurant, Broly saw many fish without tails on the road. biological individual.
According to the situation that there was no trade with Baya blood in the past and only relied on directly hunting Wampa spiders to obtain food, the ecological balance of Wampa planet was not destroyed. Thinking about it this way, just killing such an individual creature without a tail should be There is no problem.
Besides...
Broly looked at the curtained back kitchen. The aroma of food was constantly coming from that place. He thought that as long as he got rid of the food owner next to him, there The food will also be his.
The more Broly thought about it, the more excited he became. Just when he clenched his fists, he was about to hunt down the restaurant owner.
“Bang~”
On the table next door, there was a sound of smashing the table one step ahead.
“It’s really unbearable to listen to. Boss, you are an adult after all. How can you have the nerve to embarrass two children?”
“No, who are you? Does it have anything to do with you?”
“I am Fujimura Taiga. It really has nothing to do with me, but I can’t bear to see you, an adult, bullying two children like this.”
The one who stood up and spoke was an orange-haired girl with a single ponytail tied behind her head. He patted the table and pointed at the restaurant owner, then said these words with a righteous look.
"How can this be bullying? Does asking for a bill also count as bullying? They don't have enough money to pay for the meal themselves!"
The restaurant owner argued.
“Yes, these two children don’t have enough money to pay for meals, but don’t they also have difficulties? Didn’t you hear it just now?”
An unknown mother , his father has passed away, he has no home, he must have been abandoned by his biological parents.
"Who knows, children love to lie. What if this is a lie they told and they want to refuse the bill?"
The restaurant owner's face looked a little unnatural.
"I didn't lie."
Broly and young Sakura immediately retorted, and they almost said this at the same time.
Fujimura Dahe nodded, she was willing to believe what the two children said.
“What if they didn’t lie?”
she asked the restaurant owner.
"I run a restaurant, not a welfare institution. Do I deserve to lose money?"
The restaurant owner asked back, orphans should go to the welfare home to beg for food. What's the point of coming to his restaurant to eat for free?
“You shouldn’t lose money, but what you did is annoying. Can’t you say no in a gentle voice? Faced with children of this age, you actually said something that asked the police to come and arrest them. ”
“Didn’t I want to scare them?”
The restaurant owner said a little aggrievedly that in this era of protection for underage children, it is almost impossible to put two obviously young children in jail for such a trivial matter as eating a meal.
At most, the police would come, take away the two children for a lecture, and then call their parents to come and pick them up, if these two children really have parents.
“Scaring?”
Fujimura Taiga raised his voice, stepped on his shoes with great strength, walked over, pointed at the nose of the restaurant owner, and started preaching.
“Do you know how much psychological damage such intimidation can cause to children? If they become afraid of the police and no longer willing to trust the police in the future, will you bear the responsibility for such a social responsibility accident? Okay, children are like beautiful flowers, but in this society, there are always some bad adults who want to destroy them..."
As meal time approached, people came into the restaurant from time to time. After seeing the quarrels inside, they realized that this didn't seem like a place where they could eat, but it seemed like a good place to eat.
As long as the customers who come into the restaurant are not pressed for time, they are looking at the door of the restaurant and watching the fun happening inside.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay? I apologize to them, don't say it anymore."
The restaurant owner saw the guests crowding at the door to watch the show. If If he continued to be dragged down by this girl who was extremely capable of fighting, he would probably have a bad reputation for bullying lonely children. Moreover, he would also have to say that he had no sense of social responsibility and was not a popular person at all. He simply gave up.
“Hmph, this is your fault in the first place, you are a wise guy.”
Taiga Fujimura took a long breath from his nose, like a victorious general. The restaurant owner apologized to the two children next to him for scaring them, and chose to accept the unfinished meal payment. There is only this result of the change in the girl's hand.
“Pa~”
However, Taiga Fujimura walked over and slapped two thousand yen bills in front of him.
"I am not a bully. I paid for the meals these two children missed."
She said this.
"Okay, guest, you are so kind-hearted."
The restaurant owner changed his smile, from looking like he was unlucky to treating his guests with enthusiasm.
"Having said that, guest, if you tell me directly that you are willing to supplement the meal expenses for these two children, I will not quarrel with you."
"Ha, don't, I’m in a much better mood now after having a fight with you.”
Fujimura Dahe recently had an unpleasant quarrel with his parents because of his hair dyeing.
Through this quarrel where he spoke out righteously, his mood was well expressed.
Restaurant owner: "..."
So, you stood up to quarrel, right? It must be like this, right?
But since the other party pays the bill and does not bear the loss, there is no charge for this additional emotional value.
“Welcome to visit us next time!”
