The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

It's just that my eyesight isn't very good.

He smoothed the girl's messy hair.

Although it was right to let the other party learn the ability to protect himself, Lin Qiao couldn't help but feel a little guilty for letting him step into such a world.

"But I don't blame luck. At least luck changed my life and gave me the opportunity to choose, right?"

As if she could see what was on Lin Qiao's mind, the girl with the potential to be a savior grabbed Lin Qiao's fingers and rubbed them affectionately.

While speaking such warm and reassuring words, Kiara Sesshōin also gained a deeper understanding of the group of magicians.

Despicable, cruel, distorted human nature...

It is even more uncomfortable than the bloody law of the jungle in nature.

At least cruelty among animals is based only on ignorance and the need to survive, but magicians are quite the opposite.

Having wisdom but choosing madness, plundering lives not for the sake of one's own continuation.

It was only until now that Kiara finally felt the reality of the statement "Most magi are no longer human".

They are indeed not human.

Kiara looked at Lin Qiao: "By the way, how is Sakura now?"

"It's not good, it's just average... Anyway, I let her fall asleep first."

After all, he was sent away by his family, and was almost thrown into a pile of insects afterwards.

Rather than using words to soothe the other person’s emotions, it’s better to let the child get some sleep—restarting can usually solve 99% of the problems.

"But considering the time, the child should be awake by now."

Thinking of this, Lin Qiao pulled up Qiara, who was still resting his head on her thigh, and walked towards the room where Matou Sakura was, amid the girl's dissatisfied voice.

Hiss.....

Perhaps because of some thoughts about the furniture inside, there was a sound of bolts rubbing when the door opened.

Although it is not big, it is definitely clear in the Matou residence where it is so quiet that there is not even the sound of insects around.

Such a sound also woke up the girl on the bed...Or maybe she had already woken up, but just didn't want to get up and face reality.

After entering the room and looking at the little girl who had just gotten up but was subconsciously curled up on the bed, Lin Qiao did not walk over rashly, nor did she show too much enthusiasm.

——That would only irritate the other person.

"Good morning, Sakura, do you remember me?" She asked in a relatively gentle tone, keeping a suitable distance.

She was slightly stunned by Lin Qiao's question.

After taking a few seconds to recall the true face of Lin Qiao after he untransformed, Matou Sakura nodded: "Yes, it was the big brother Spider from yesterday."

"That's right."

Lin Qiao puffed out her chest with satisfaction. This child was indeed a very well-behaved child.

Then walked a little further.

"But I'd better introduce myself. My name is Lin Qiao, just call me Qiao... Can you come over and sit down?"

"Ah."

After a pause, Sakura Matou nodded slightly, showing no resistance...but the unfamiliar environment still made her feel insecure.

After sitting down, Lin Qiao also pulled Qi Huang in front of Ying.

"Let me introduce you, this is Seshouin Kiara, I hope you guys get along well."

"first meet."

Perhaps because there were people of the same age, Matou Sakura's tense nerves were slightly relieved...

Even so, it is only a minor point.

"Hey, Brother Qiao, when can I go home?"

After communicating with each other for a while, the girl looked at Lin Qiao with some expectation in her eyes.

Dad, mom, sister... and the swarm of terrifying insects that made him feel creepy just thinking about them.

After everything that had happened before, the word "going home" was the only wish for the girl.

“…”

Facing the gaze from Matou Sakura, Lin Qiao fell into silence.

After a long while, he sighed helplessly: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid this is not possible for the time being."

Although from a personal perspective, he also hopes that Sakura Matou can be sent back to the Tohsaka family to reunite with her family.

But here lies the problem...

Before this, in order to better imitate Matou Zouken's actions, Lin Qiao read Matou Tsuruno's memory...and because of this, he learned the truth of certain things.

——Adoption between magicians is not as simple as changing the household registration.

It even involves a contract consisting of self-enforced documents.

Although Lin Qiao did not find the specific content in Matou Tsuruno's mind, given Matou Zōken's personality, he probably would not write anything good in it.

——In fact, this also applies to Tōsaka Tokiomi.

After all, only in this way can his daughter inherit everything of the Matou family without any suspense after Matou Zouken's death. So for the sake of his daughter's future, the price of violating the contract is naturally as severe as possible...

It’s a pity that the old bug was more skilled in the end.

"I...can't go back?"

Matou Sakura stared down at her hands in a daze.

Although she didn't understand most of what Lin Qiao said, she understood this one thing.

The girl's body trembled slightly and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Wow ah ah!"

The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst out like a flood, and he began to cry loudly while hugging Lin Qiao.

The latter didn't say much, just patted her on the back gently and let her vent.

Cry, just cry.

Crying is a sign that human emotions still exist.

Compared to the one he knew, where he couldn't even cry and was almost numb, this look was better.

Chapter 557 Lin Qiao: Fraud, I am a professional

A few days flew by.

All was quiet during this time.

Although several reconnaissance bugs that had been killed by full bottles of insecticide were found near the Matou residence, the escaped old bug never showed up.

Tsk, what a pity.

In addition, in the few days after venting, Ying gradually accepted the fact that she could not return to her former home - fortunately, the old bug was beaten away by Lin Qiao, so she did not have to suffer the torture in the original plot.

And having the company of a peer like Kiara made up for some of her emotional deficiencies—it’s just that the relationship between the two of them is a little... weird?

Although it's a bit inappropriate, it gives me a sense of déjà vu of raising a Gu.

As for Shinji... I can only say that Sakura has some resistance to him because of Matou Zouken.

In addition, Matou Tsuruya, who had vaguely sensed something, also used a tough attitude to tell his son to stay away from Lin Qiao and the others, to prevent him from accidentally knowing secrets that he shouldn't know and eventually losing his life.

So there was not much contact between the two sides.

Of course, this is not the point we are going to talk about today.

On the other side, in the Toosaka residence, Toosaka Tokiomi was looking at the handwritten letter from "Matou Zouken" in his hand in silence.

The content of the letter, which consisted of only a few short lines, was not complicated, but after reading it, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt a little complicated.

——To be specific, Matou Zouken suddenly fell ill while teaching Sakura magic, and his health deteriorated rapidly...

I can only sigh that the other person is getting old.

Putting down the few lines of the letter in his hand, Tōsaka Tokiomi turned his head to look at Matou Tsuruno who had delivered the letter - it said that he would be responsible for discussing the specific matters with him...

From this, it can be seen that the other party is really seriously ill.

Otherwise, he would not have handed the task over to this son who was not taken seriously at home and did not even have the slightest talent for magic.

"How is Mr. Jiantong's health now?"

He asked this question not out of superficial courtesy, but because he was truly concerned about Matou Zouken's health.

After all, the only person in the entire Matou family who knows magic is this old man who looks like a withered skeleton.

Once the other person died, it would mean that no one would be able to teach his daughter who had just been adopted into the Matou family.

——Tōsaka Tokiomi knew what would happen to his daughter who would be unable to practice magic but had an extraordinary talent.

After all, he is a magician himself...

"Yes, thanks to your concern, although my father is ill, fortunately he has not suffered the worst."

Lin Qiao, who was disguised as Matou Tsuruno, sighed.

The letter was, of course, written by him imitating the notes of Zouken Matou when he was looking for the magic manuscripts and research materials left by the other party.

It is worth mentioning that because his soul became increasingly corrupt, Matou Zouken not only forgot his past dreams, but even the knowledge in his brain was constantly lost.

In order to avoid becoming like the Holy Lord who completely forgot all the knowledge he had mastered, Old Bug wrote down everything he knew in great detail and compiled it into a draft for future use...

Then he was beaten by Lin Qiao and his gold coins exploded.

——Although Lin Qiao knew nothing about magic, she had learned something from the contents of the book. The unfathomable depth of this great magician who had lived for five hundred years...

Of course, this only applies to magicians.

"But despite this, my father's health is not optimistic, so I hope to ask the Tohsaka family for help on some matters."

"Please tell me. If there is anything I can help you with, the Tohsaka family will certainly not be stingy."

After all, this involves Sakura, Tōsaka Tokiomi couldn't help but speak seriously.

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Lin Qiao used Matou Tsuruno's face to tell him her purpose.

"——Letter of recommendation from the Clock Tower."

"Clock Tower?"

"Yes."

Lin Qiao nodded seriously and then told the lie she had prepared long ago.

"My father's health is not good right now. Although he can survive for a few more years with the help of the Matou family's secret technique, this technique cannot be used at will. He will not be able to move freely for about a year."

"During this period, I am afraid that I will not be able to teach Sakura and the knowledge related to magic, so in order to avoid wasting time, my father plans to send Sakura to the Clock Tower..."

In other words, he will be sent to the Clock Tower first to learn basic magic knowledge, and then come back to practice the magic of the Matou family directly?

Toosaka Tokiomi frowned. It was not impossible to do so, but it was somewhat against the rules.

To put it bluntly, only those magic families that have only been passed down for three or four generations and have no foundation will send their descendants to the Clock Tower to learn basic magic knowledge.

The big families with a long history are just the opposite. They usually go to the Clock Tower for further study after the elders and masters in the family have taught them the basics and family magic.

However, this also indirectly confirms that the situation of Matou Zouken is not optimistic.

Otherwise, as a family of magicians with a long tradition, they would not lose even this most basic manner.

——Because of the self-enforced certification, it is obviously unrealistic to bring Sakura back to teach her by myself.

"I understand. I will write a letter in the name of the Tohsaka family."

Toosaka Tokiomi did not ask what the secret technique of the Matou family was.

Not to mention that a magician's family secret technique is equivalent to the lifeline of a family, let alone someone like "Matou Tsuruno" who is not even qualified to set foot in the world of magic, it is impossible for him to know the secrets.

He wasn't worried about the language either.
