Chapter 209: Trial
"Father, you..." Yuan Zhisheng was about to say something but stopped himself, sighing inwardly. He had indeed thought about who would come to the rescue, but he never expected it to be his own father, and in this way, he turned the dangerous situation of life and death into a third-rate family ethics soap opera with weird dialogue that made no sense.
Oh, what should I do? My dad's style seems wrong. Could he be a French idiot? Yuan Zhisheng thought helplessly.
He once imagined that his biological father was a serious old man who was bent by the years but was resolute and resolute. However, the reality was that his father became a comedian like Uesugi Yue who could tell dirty jokes at will.
"Sorry, it was a mistake this time, a mistake! I have no experience in this first time, next time, I promise to let my little girl feel the warmth of fatherly love!" Uesugi Yue said, patting his chest with his big hands like a palm leaf fan. He put away the knife, and then resolutely carried the unconscious Kazama Ruri on his back.
"Father, this..." Gen Chisheng subconsciously wanted to remind that Fengjian Liuli was not his originally docile brother Gen Chinu, and that this evil ghost was very dangerous... But thinking about his old father's unparalleled combat power, who caught Fengjian Liuli with bare hands, perhaps this reminder was not necessary at all.
"By the way, I just heard you mention Eri, right?" Uesugi Yue suddenly turned around, and the girl on his back swayed with the movement. When he mentioned this name, he suddenly recalled the red-haired girl who was always silent beside Emiya.
"Yes, according to... Herzog's information, Eri, I and my daughter were all experimental subjects cultivated based on your genes." Minamoto Chisei recalled what Tachibana Masamune said and repeated it.
"Is there such a thing?"
Uesugi Yuexin said hehehe, when he met Emiya and Eri, his guess was quite accurate, at least he didn't make a mistake in recognizing his daughter. This way, at least he can confirm that he already has a son and a daughter, which is definitely auspicious!
No... Doesn't this mean that Emiya was flirting with his daughter at the time!?
"I just don't know if this information is accurate. If you want to recognize him, it would be best if I notify the family in advance to arrange a paternity test."
Genji said as he picked up his phone. This kind of thing was not a big deal, and he could just give an order and it would be executed. Uesugi Yue's blood sample had been stored separately in the medical examination hospital, and it was even more convenient for Eri, as she was in the position with the highest safety level in Genji Heavy Industries.
"What? Eri is missing?"
Yuan Zhisheng was horrified when he heard the report from his subordinates. The ancient spider knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. "You mean - there's no one in the room, the door was forcibly broken open... and the patrol team just happened to be transferred away?"
At this moment, Gen Chisei's temples were throbbing violently and his face was turning slightly darker. Although running away from home during the chaos was indeed very much in the style of Eri, it happened that the personnel were transferred away and the Oni Clan invaded - such a coincidental arrangement made it easy to wonder if the Oni Clan had a spy inside.
Generally, the team responsible for monitoring Eri can only be arranged by the head of the family or him, the Shadow Emperor, but Genji rarely intervenes, so the person in charge of this area can only be Tachibana Masamune.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhisheng had a vague guess, "Where is the head of the family? I need to know what the situation is in the room where the head of the family is resting (under house arrest)!"
"I'm so sorry! The main force of the Ghost Clan attacked this area, and our people were unable to defend it for a while... When we pushed the front line back, the room where the head of the family was had been burned down. There was no complete body, and we only found some completely carbonized residue."
"Can a forensic examination be performed?"
"It's very difficult. If the charred body is completely preserved, we have the confidence to search for residual tissue for DNA identification, but the problem is that there seem to be traces of transportation at the scene, and this residue may only be a small part of what is left."
"Continue to arrange it. It'll be fine if you can identify it. If you can't do it, don't force it."
Gen Chisei gave a formal instruction, but he already had the answer in his mind - Herzog... might really have something fishy with the Demon Clan. He cooperated with the Demon Clan's attack, "faked his death" to escape, and also intended to take Eri away.
"Chisheng! Chisheng!" Uesugi Yue's urging brought him back to his senses from his thoughts, "Didn't you just ask about Eri's situation? How is Eri? Is she okay?"
Gen Chisei sighed, "Eri disappeared without our knowledge. There are two possibilities. The first is that she just ran away from home. The second is that she might have been taken to the Demon Clan!"
"What?" Uesugi Yue's face changed. "Chisheng, I remember that the base of the Ghost Clan is still the same as before, still in Osaka, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong--" Gen Chisei was stunned when he spoke, and saw Uesugi Yue immediately grabbed the sword that was about to be unsheathed, as if he wanted to fly to Osaka immediately, pick up the two swords and chop all the way from Caishikou to Rashomon without blinking.
No, old father, you don't have to be so anxious. Just carry the person over there. Put him down first and let the family take care of him.
"How dare they touch my daughter? I will make sure they all have a bad time!"
Uesugi Yue was furious, carrying Genji on his back and holding a knife, and was about to turn around and leave, but he happened to run into Angers who was walking towards him.
"—!"
"Good evening, the previous generation of the Sheqi Eight Families and the Shadow Emperor of this generation, are holding a family tea party here?"
Angé glanced at Uesugi Yue, who was furious and had his sword unsheathed, and at the Minamoto no Chitose on his back, "Well, it seems there is no tea prepared for me here."
"Ange, what are you doing here?"
"I'm not doing anything. It's just that the battle of the servants over there just ended, so I came over to check on you, my old friend."
"Is the battle over?" Genji was very concerned about the battle situation over there. He remembered that due to the intervention of the white-haired armored woman (Melyusina), the servant duel turned into a terrible three-way melee.
"Yeah, don't waste your time guessing. Your Servant and that Demon Servant were both injured - not by each other, but by that flying girl." Angé spread his hands.
Genno Chisei recalled that when he and Watanabe Tsuna found the two servants in the battle, Ibaraki Douji, a demon servant who was obviously mentally ill, attacked Watanabe Tsuna directly when he saw him, so Watanabe Tsuna had to get involved in the battle.
Uesugi Yue had an impatient look on his face, and he obviously had no interest in this. He was only worried about the whereabouts of his child. "Alright, alright, Ange, if you're okay, just get out of the way! I still have to go find my daughter Eri! My lovely daughter needs the timely assistance of her great father!"
"What physical features do you mean by Eri?"
"My daughter... of course she's pretty and cute! And she has red hair which is rare!"
"...I seem to know where your daughter is. I have to tell you, she is definitely not with the Demon Group." When Angé heard this feature, he immediately thought of the scene where he accidentally encountered Emiya carrying Eri at the hospital gate not long ago.
"Where is it then?!" Uesugi Yue and his son Minamoto Chisei stared at him anxiously.
"Todai University's affiliated hospital."————
It started to drizzle at some point, with the thick clouds occasionally pierced by thunder. The night wind slapped the rain curtain, and the slanting raindrops flew over, forming a small puddle in front of the revolving door of the hospital. The red-soled high-heeled shoes rose and fell on the puddle, creating circles of transparent ripples, crushing the neon lights reflected in the puddle.
Su Enxi, wearing a Chanel dress, led two people on her left and right. On the left was Mai Jiude, who was wearing tight tactical clothing, and on the right was Ling, who was wearing pure white. And Anastasia, who was invisible in spirit form, followed them silently.
Several people walked into the emergency room hall, asked the staff on duty, and went straight to the ward where Emiya and Eri were. Several pairs of shoes left water marks all along the way.
"Master Emiya, we meet again!"
When Su Enxi walked into the room empty-handed and greeted Emiya in a high-profile manner, the latter was still talking quietly to Eri beside the bed, while using his mobile phone to exchange messages with Nono, who had "escaped from Genji Heavy Industries".
Emiya looked up and saw Jude Mai behind Su Enxi, carrying large and small bags of comfort supplies with a look of gritted teeth on her face, as if she had lost money playing mahjong and had to do the hard labor.
The last person to come in was Zero, holding a silver tray steadily in one hand. A bottle of Daiginjo, a glass of milk, two hot spring eggs, and a dish of yudofu were placed on it. She bent her knees slightly like an aristocratic maid and placed the tray on the medical bedside table.
A fragrance similar to that of toiletries brushed against Emiya's nose, and he noticed that Ling, Su Enxi, and Jude Mai's hair were all wet, as if they had just come out of the water.
"You guys just came here after taking a hot spring bath?"
"It was actually raining outside just now," Su Enxi smiled, and took out a diamond-studded comb like a magician to fix her bangs. "It doesn't have to be a hot spring. It's normal to get your hair wet in the rain, right?"
"So what's up with this plate of hot spring food?"
Emiya glanced at the silver plate.
Japan has many hot springs, and there are also hot spring cuisines derived from the hot spring culture, such as half-cooked eggs with yolks steamed in sulfur springs, smooth tofu heated with hot spring water, etc. Since hot spring bathing will speed up the body's metabolism, hot spring cuisine is mostly light and rarely greasy. This feature is very suitable for food brought when visiting the sick.
"As for the food - of course it was brought by the Kuroishi Residence. Master Emiya, have you forgotten again? There is a hot spring behind that courtyard." Su Enxi blinked.
"Hot spring?" Eri asked Emiya while sitting on the bed, "Is it as fun as taking a bath?" Her eyes sparkled, as if she had discovered a new world. This girl who loves playing with a little yellow duck while taking a bath seems to have found a new hobby.
"Soaking in a hot spring can be considered an entertainment activity, but it is a little different from taking a bath. At least... the time spent is different."
Emiya scratched his head. To be honest, he had never soaked in a hot spring himself, so he didn't know how to explain it... Because as a pragmatist like him, he always felt that soaking in a hot spring, or even a bath, was not as good as taking a shower, and it was a waste of time to just soak there for no reason.
"Emiya... come and take a hot spring bath with me!" Eiry reached out and grabbed Emiya's elbow, her voice noticeably raised. When she finished speaking, the girl's face had already turned a light pink like cherry blossoms, which made Su Enxi and Jude Mai, who noticed this scene, burn with gossip.
Jude Mai pursed her lips and quietly pointed her black-polished finger at Eri, "Emiya, which family did you kidnap this young lady from? Could she be a relative of Lady Nono?"
"Long Legs, what you said is really harsh. What does kidnapping mean?" Su Enxi was not willing to be outdone and made her presence felt at the side. "Master Emiya has been upright all his life and everything he did was just. How could he kidnap someone? This is called saving an innocent girl from distress and preventing her from being persecuted by a cruel and unjust family!"
"Potato Chips girl, you talk too much. Isn't it just a hero saving a beautiful girl?"
Only Zero stood by the bedside table. After adjusting the position of the silver tray, he carefully peeled the shell of the hot spring water boiled egg and pushed the porcelain bowl towards Eri, just like a responsible family nanny.
"You two should stop singing the same tune," Emiya almost got goosebumps after hearing this awkward flattery, "This is Eri... She is indeed a young lady. Since you are reliable allies and have summoned Servants, I hope you can protect Eri during the Holy Grail War... She is very important."
"Is she important?" Su Enxi heard something unusual. She took a look at Eiry, who looked normal except for her good looks.
Emiya nodded, "It has something to do with what I was going to say about 'God'."
After that, he looked down at his phone and saw that Nuonuo had sent a bunch of messages, saying that she was still on the way and would soon arrive at the hospital, and that they would get together to sort out the information about God. So Emiya also replied, saying that our old acquaintance ally had arrived, and that they would talk about the information they had sorted out.
Seeing the trio's curiosity, Emiya looked up and explained, "There are people behind us. Wait a minute and I'll tell you all."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door, and a familiar old voice couldn't help but shout excitedly, roaring like a bell: "Daughter! Dad is here to see you!"
A more familiar young man then spoke up: "Dad, the doctor said that no noise is allowed in the hospital late at night!"
"What a bastard doctor! He actually said that you and I don't look like Eri's brothers or father, but Emiya is more like her brother. This is ridiculous..." There was a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment in Uesugi Yue's voice.
Hearing the door opening, Su Enxi asked curiously, "Is this the person you're waiting for?"
However, Shirou's expression suddenly changed, and he thought to himself that he was totally wrong, it was not the case at all!
Eri also lifted the snow-white quilt and jumped out of bed, subconsciously trying to find the back door or jump out of the window to escape - they heard the voice of Eri's brother Minamoto Chisei again. Eri knew that if she was caught by her brother, her happy journey of running away from home would end.
However, it was totally too late.
The door was slammed open with a huge force. The poor door lock safety bolt didn't work at all for the former Shadow King! Uesugi Yue stepped in impatiently, and Gen Chisei followed helplessly. The father and son saw Emiya and Eri preparing to escape together at first sight.
The scene fell into deathly silence for a moment.
Su Enxi and Jiude Mai covered their mouths, their shoulders shaking from trying to hold back their laughter. It was obvious that they had almost figured out what was going on and planned to watch the show right there.
Zero continued to do her own thing. She peeled the egg and began to wield the silver knife, cutting the round, soft-boiled egg in half. The runny yolk swayed gently. Then she scooped up sake with a teaspoon and drew a precise parabola, like a professional maid and an outsider.
Emiya faced the gazes of Uesugi Koshi and Minamoto Chisei with a stiff expression, thinking to himself, it's over, Nono will be here soon, and with the father and son and the trio present now, this is going to turn into a three-court trial!
