It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 360: Dangerous person...Tosaka is no match!
The sudden reunion was indeed impressive.

Rather, it is too profound.

For a moment, Miss Toosaka suddenly felt that there was nothing to miss about this guy who first flirted with her sister when he came back...

"Just kidding, just kidding... Let me introduce myself again. My name is Xia Zhi, and I'm a friend of Rin and Sakura. Um, a very good friend."

The young man laughed heartily and waved his hand. His tone was full of casualness and calmness, and there was no trace of humility or concealment in his words.

"Mizue, just call me 'senior'. If you feel embarrassed, you can call me 'brother'..."

"..."

"..."

"...Ha, did you get the order wrong?"

Mizue Ayako was stunned for a moment, then almost laughed out loud, and the corners of her delicate eyebrows slightly raised.

This guy really doesn't feel embarrassed at all.

But this also made her feel quite interesting, because she felt that such a person must be a person with a distinct personality and very interesting.

"So...Tousaka, what he said is true?"

Turning her head and looking at her good friend beside her, Mizutsu Ayako decisively chose to directly verify with the person involved.

Although in her opinion, what Xia Zhi said should be fine, judging from the attitudes shown by the sisters Rin and Sakura, they did know him and were not strangers to him.

Ying seemed to be blushing a little because of what had just happened. She lowered her head embarrassedly and twisted her hands awkwardly.

Rin's eyes revealed obvious anger and dissatisfaction, and he was trying to kill someone with his gaze.

to be honest--

This kind of performance actually explains a lot.

Ms. Tousaka also heard Mizue Ayako's question and couldn't help but snorted in annoyance, but then she said stubbornly:
"We are not good friends, at most we are just... acquaintances!"

Mizutsu Ayako: “…”

She raised an eyebrow and muttered to herself.

What's with this classic tsundere start? I felt like I was caught off guard and got slapped in the face.

Thinking of this, she became even more certain of her previous thoughts. After all, this obvious stubbornness, although seemingly a denial, was actually an inadvertent confirmation.

"Ahem, alright, alright, it's not a big deal for us to just stand here all the time..."

Xia Zhi clapped his hands and said in a very natural manner: "Let's go back first, the weather is still a bit cold at this time..."

After all, it's only February.

As the winter is coming to an end, the weather is still quite cold, and you can still see snow in the coldest areas of Japan.

Although the theme of February is vitality and new beginnings, it only heralds the arrival of spring. It will probably take until the second half of the month for the weather to become relatively warmer.

"Yes, yes, let's go back first..."

Ying also reacted at this time, and quickly agreed: "It's not far ahead, Senior Meizhui, can you come too?"

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you..."

Mizue Ayako's heart moved slightly, and she responded with a smile.

At the same time, the girl also looked at someone next to her with interest, and ripples appeared in her heart.

Because of what the other party just said, the problem is obviously bigger.

It seemed like just an ordinary polite greeting, but the question was...why was he so skilled at it?

——Isn’t this the Tōsaka residence?
——So, why was he able to say "Let's go back first" so naturally?
"..."

"..."

"Then let's go back first..."

Toosaka Rin took a deep breath. She naturally would not object. After all, she was the one who invited Mizue to her home.

If I were to make excuses to avoid it at this time, who knows what kind of misunderstanding Meizhui might have.

even though……

That's enough misunderstanding for now...

——It’s all this guy’s fault!

While Sakura and Mizue were walking forward, she fell behind with a huff, staring at her former Servant in annoyance.

"What's wrong, Rin?"

The expression on the young man's face was still so cheerful and innocent, as if he didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with his behavior just now.

"I say—when did you come back?"

The black-haired girl with twin ponytails stared at him closely and asked directly, "Didn't you say that you had already left?"

The Holy Grail War is over.

The contracted servants said goodbye one by one like shooting stars across the night sky, and returned to the Throne of Heroes.

This is as it should be. After all, it is a short-term temporary labor contract, and it is inherently difficult to convert it directly into a long-term employment procedure in a reasonable and legal manner.

The most important thing is that she can't afford to pay that "salary".

Without the support of the Holy Grail, it would be very challenging for an ordinary magician to rely on his own magic power to maintain a contract with a powerful spirit.

"I left, but now I'm back..."

Xia Zhi walked side by side with her, his eyes passing through the streets of Fuyuki City, as if he could touch the smoke of the past.

The sky was gray, and his tone seemed to be somewhat sentimental, revealing an obvious complexity.

"Although you may not feel it, Rin, but for me... the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City was a long, long time ago."

After a brief pause, he thought about it seriously, then shook his head as if he had given up trying to calculate.

"After that, I don't know how many years have passed."

"..."

"..."

When Toosaka Rin heard this, she was stunned for a moment and couldn't help biting her lip.

She had not expected to get such an answer, and every word hit her heart like a hammer.

At this moment, the girl suddenly realized that for the person in front of her, the time not long ago had already become a distant past, covered with the dust of time, as if it were a lifetime ago.

Especially when looking at the young man's emotional expression and listening to his words in that calm tone, I suddenly felt some inexplicable touch spreading in my heart.

It seems so. I remember seeing it somewhere, saying that the summoning of heroic spirits is beyond the timeline of the human world.

So maybe in my opinion, he just left for a month or so before reappearing again...

however.

——For him...

——It’s been so long already…

This sudden realization was like a huge rock thrown into her originally calm heart, which immediately stirred up thousands of waves. Her mood also became extremely heavy.

As for the anger that had been held in the chest just now, it was instantly drawn away by an invisible force and disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, what are you two whispering about in the back? So mysterious?"

at this time.

Meizhu, the classmate walking in front, seemed to have noticed something. She turned around with a slightly joking look and shouted something jokingly.

She noticed these two people walking behind her and was already a little curious. Now she noticed the unusual atmosphere between them.

Sakura and he had already walked halfway across the street, but their pace was still unhurried, as if they were immersed in their own world.

"Ah? Oh, come on, let's follow..."

Miss Toosaka was brought back to reality by the sudden call, and the inexplicable touch in her heart made her a little flustered.

Her voice became stuttering unconsciously, revealing a hint of panic. In order to hide the turmoil in her heart, she quickly turned her eyes to the side, and her hands subconsciously grasped the red coat outside her school uniform.

As if to distract from this sudden sensitivity, she quickly adjusted her breathing and urged in an almost commanding tone: "Then, then - let's walk faster."

Without waiting for Xia Zhi to answer, the girl quickened her pace and walked forward quickly with her head down.

He looked hurriedly, as if he was running away from something, in a panic.

Seeing this, Xia Zhi shrugged his shoulders, then quickened his pace and followed.

It turned out that Miss Toosaka was still too immature. He just laid a simple foundation and hinted at her, and she was able to start her own strategy directly.

But it's quite normal, little girls just like this...

And strictly speaking, he wasn't lying, because a long time had passed since then...

——At least from the perspective of human time, it is indeed a very long time.

But although it is true, this is only part of the truth. As for the other tragic elements, they are purely made up by Miss Toosaka herself.

Of course, he also deliberately hinted at it, allowing the girl to imagine in this direction.

Even though I said nothing, it was more useful than saying a lot of words.

It was so simple that it broke down Miss Toosaka's emotional defenses, causing the girl to instantly change from wanting to charge someone to another indescribable emotion.

………………

………………

"It's troublesome..."

at the same time.

Mizue Ayako in front also turned around and smiled as if somewhat helplessly, but her bright eyes seemed to be sparkling, as if she had seen something particularly interesting.

"Senior Meizhu, what are you talking about?"

Ying asked curiously, what's the trouble?

"I mean Tousaka... It's obvious from the looks of it that she's no match for Xia Zhi-senpai."

Mizue Ayako said confidently: "Look, she was so angry just now, but in the end, she just said a few words to Senior Xia Zhi and look what she became."

——A very obvious change.

——It seemed that he was not so angry all of a sudden.

——The moment Ayako Mizutsu looked back, Toosaka's expression and eyes softened noticeably.

As for now, the black-haired girl with twin ponytails was also in a panic, lowering her head and quickening her pace behind, but it seemed more like she was tsundere and unable to face it.

Gee...

In short, because I am used to seeing my friend's cold and ruthless image as an excellent student in school, now I suddenly see his other side...

Meizhu also felt incredible.

But because of this, she was also keenly aware that Toosaka could not be a match for that man.

The opponent’s rank...is obviously too high.

"No matter how you look at it, he's definitely a dangerous person..." Mizue murmured softly, then looked at the school girl next to her: "Right, Ying?"

cherry:"……"

She didn't deny that.

No matter how you look at it, it is true that Senior is a dangerous person.

………………

In this subtle and thoughtful atmosphere.

The group quickly returned to the Toosaka family.

From the outside, the mansion is still very impressive. However, if someone who doesn't know the inside story doesn't know that the interior of the mansion has been almost hollowed out, they would think it is just a glittering facade.

After all, no matter how financially difficult it was, Miss Toosaka still tried her best to maintain her appearance of decency.

Xia Zhi walked into the hall of the mansion and looked at the ceiling with interest.

once Upon a time……

There was a big hole here, full of rubble and debris...

And it was in the ruins that I met Miss Tosaka under the moonlight and completed the job interview at that time...

As if she had thought of the same thing, the girl in front of him who was pretending to be calm also looked over and met his eyes.

After a second, he moved away as if nothing had happened.
