In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

Ian put on his clothes and tiptoed to the windowsill, trying not to disturb Tousaka Sakura.

Fortunately, because of the height of the buildings, Ian came to a place where he could see the yard of the mansion opposite.

And he soon discovered the source of the humming sound.

I saw that it was an old man with gray hair.

He was wearing a long red jacket and small round glasses like those worn by a blind fortune teller.

Although he looks quite old, Ian can feel that he is still full of energy and is not inferior to young people at all.

What's his name?

correct.

It’s Li Shuwen.

Fujimura Taiga mentioned this name yesterday.

now--

Li Shuwen was facing the wooden stake in front of him, doing something like morning exercise.

"snort--!"

"ha--!"

After shouting out two powerful words, the old man hit the wooden stake in front of him with his palm.

Ian remembered that Fujimura Taiga said that this was a martial art called Bajiquan.

Snap!

The wooden stake made a crisp sound - that was a phenomenon that only occurred when it was hit with considerable force.

Ian could feel that this old man named Li Shuwen must have profound attainments in martial arts.

This is a bit tricky.

Generally speaking, people with this level of ability tend to have eccentric personalities, and communicating with them is definitely not as easy as one might imagine.

But even so, Ian knew that he would have to talk to him sooner or later.

After all, he and Sakura Toosaka might have to live here for a while.

If you do this every morning, conflicts are likely to arise.

Ian didn't want Sakura Tousaka, whom he cared about, to suffer such unnecessary trouble.

Just as Ian was thinking this, Li Shuwen once again performed the Bajiquan he had been practicing.

This time, the result was even more shocking.

"Drink——!"

Li Shuwen exerted a little strength and hit the wooden stake used for practice with his palm, then directly broke it in half.

Bang!

The wooden stake broke into two pieces in front of the old man.

One section remains in place.

And the other part flew out.

"..."

Ian felt that something was wrong.

The power possessed by this old man named Li Shuwen seems to be totally inconsistent with his age.

Is this really reasonable?

Before Ian could figure out the answer to this question, something even more unexpected happened.

I saw a red girl's figure appear in the yard of the house next door.

That is……

Toosaka Rin?!

How did she end up in this place?

333. Assassin Li Shuwen/Rin's Apology/New Participant (4k)

[You didn't expect Toosaka Rin to show up at this time. ]

[After all, she never mentioned that she knew such a person. ]

【You realize that the situation may be a little more complicated than you observed.】

[You decide to get more information in secret - you think you have to at least figure out Toosaka Rin's intentions.]

According to the conclusion he came to after thinking about it, Ian continued to secretly observe the situation in the opposite yard.

Toosaka Rin did not come to visit alone.

A man followed her here.

He was holding something that looked like a textbook in his hand, and his expression looked serious and earnest, just like a priest.

The two men bowed respectfully to Li Shuwen in front of them, appearing to have great respect for him.

This situation soon made Ian realize one thing.

That is the old man named Li Shuwen, perhaps he is Toosaka Rin's master.

No.

Considering that there is another person standing next to Toosaka Rin, it might be the master's master.

Ian's conjecture soon received further evidence.

After the ceremony, the person standing next to Toosaka Rin said something to her.

The girl nodded, and then came to another wooden stake that was not broken by Li Shuwen.

"snort--!"

"ha--!"

Toosaka Rin exerted all her strength and hit the wooden stake in front of her.

Two bangs.

There was a crisp response from the wooden stakes - this was also a sign that the strike was effective.

However, compared with Li Shuwen, the effect of Toosaka Rin's actions was not that terrible.

It was more like she was defending and counterattacking than attacking.

After finishing this, Toosaka Rin bowed to Li Shuwen again, as if asking how her performance was.

The latter shook his head, as if to indicate that this was far from enough.

Because the distance was too far, Ian couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

Recalling how Li Shuwen broke the wooden stake with one punch, the man felt that he should know more.

He turned around to look at Sakura Toosaka who was still sleeping and took a deep breath.

Then Ian pulled up the curtain and left quietly.

[You feel that there is something very wrong with this old man Li Shuwen.]

[Or should I say, you are full of doubts about his performance. ]

[After all, a man of his age shouldn't have such terrible power.]

[You feel a little uneasy inside - this makes you want to confirm the situation even more.]

Fujimura Taiga's house is very close to the house next door.

Otherwise, Ian wouldn't have heard the sound of Li Shuwen practicing Bajiquan so early in the morning.

So after walking a few steps, he arrived at the house next door.

Pretending to know nothing, the man directly greeted people inside.

"Rin, why are you here?"

"..."

Toosaka Rin was stunned for a moment.

Obviously, she didn't expect to see Ian here.

"excuse me!"

Toosaka Rin quickly ran to where Ian was, and then asked the man in front of her with a puzzled look on her face.

"How will you be here?"

"I'll explain it later." Ian glanced at Li Shuwen, who was still looking stern behind Toosaka Rin.

"Rin, can I come in?"

"..."

Although she had a quarrel with Sakura Toosaka, Rin Toosaka did not hate her Servant Ian.

After all, in a sense—

The girl knew that she and he were somewhat of an accomplice.

"..."

Toosaka Rin glanced at Ian, then looked back at the two people behind her, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I see."

"Wait for me a moment."

After answering Ian, Toosaka Rin turned around and walked towards her master Kotomine Kirei and the old man named Li Shuwen.

"that--"

"Kirei, and Master Li."

"I have a friend who is very interested in Bajiquan... Can he come in and take a look?"

"..."

Kotomine Kirei did not answer Toosaka Rin, but looked at Li Shuwen beside him, pretending that he would make the decision.

Obviously, Kotomine Kirei respected the old man next to him very much.

After hearing Toosaka Rin's request, the latter pondered for a moment and nodded.

"These days, there are still people interested in Bajiquan."

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

After receiving the reply, Toosaka Rin hurried back to Ian's side.

"Okay, come in."

Bringing the man to Kotomine Kirei and Li Shuwen, Toosaka Rin introduced him very politely.

"This is Ian, my friend."

"Hello, both of you." Ian followed Toosaka Rin's words and said quite naturally.

"Oh...Rin's friend."

Kotomine Kirei nodded thoughtfully, and then introduced himself.

"I am Kotomine Kirei, Rin's master."

"This is Li Shuwen, my master."

"I see." Finding that the relationship between the three people was similar to what he expected, Ian agreed, "I've heard a lot about you."
