The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

When he thought that his beloved woman would be thrown into the insect warehouse, Matou Kirei decisively gave up all his thoughts, chose to withdraw from this battle for love, and left the Matou family.

But after returning to Fuyuki this time, he received extremely bad news.

"What? Sakura was adopted into the Matou family?"

After hearing this news from his childhood sweetheart, now Mrs. Tosaka, Matou Kariya felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and even his spine was chilled.

The people of the Tousaka family may not know what Matou's magic means, but as a member of the Matou family, he knows it very well.

Under the astonished and puzzled eyes of Tōsaka Aoi, Kariya returned to the Matou household with an unprecedented determination on his face, as if he was ready to step into hell.

And this time when he came back, he did get the horrifying news.

——The Dark Knight Kalia is now on sale.

Although it was not quite the same as what was expected at the beginning, the effect achieved in the end was indeed enough to make Matou Kariya's eyes go dark...

"She cried a lot on the first three days, but on the fourth day she couldn't even cry."

"I threw it over this morning, hoping to see what the reaction would be. But it was still alive when the sun went down."

"The people of the Matou family are really interesting."

The old man who looked like a skeleton spoke words that were almost cruel in a calm tone... He was only cruel to Matou Kariya.

Sakura, standing aside, looked at Matou Kariya who had been burned to ashes on the ground, holding a novel of "Dark Knight Kalia" in her hand.

The corridors inside the Matou family's house are also covered with promotional posters of "The Dark Knight Kalia".

It was different from the rough draft that Matou Kariya had drawn when he was a child, which could only barely make out a human figure.

The protagonist on the poster is based on himself, and the heroine is based on Toosaka Aoi, and the two are standing side by side.

The exquisite character composition and the image of the characters that can be called "middle school" perfectly reproduce the fantasy that could only exist in the mind due to the lack of personal skills during the middle school period...

At the same time, all his dark history that had been sealed up through time with great difficulty was revealed.

Every time he thinks back on it, Matou Kariya feels as if he has been stripped naked and placed under the spotlight for everyone to admire.

This is hell!

It’s absolute hell on earth!

"Uncle Yanye, are you okay?"

"Um, Sakura..."

The girl's voice brought back a trace of consciousness to Matou Kariya, but the original novel of "Dark Knight Kalia" in her hand made the latter's heart stop.

In an instant, he was like a vampire seeing the sunlight, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Although the innocent words of the girl always encourage those who are lost, the sentences like "Uncle Kariya's novel is really great", "My favorite description of the scene about xxx", and "I think my mother will like it too after reading it" made Matou Kariya lower his head even more.

Lin Qiao, who was disguised as Matou Zouken, glanced calmly at Matou Sakura who was comforting Kariya beside her.

Although it is true that the latter was comforting Matou Kariya whose dark history had been revealed, it is hard to tell whether she was being careless on purpose as she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

——I have a feeling that this child, like Kiara, will be something extraordinary when he grows up.

“.....Kill me...Kill me...Kill me...Kill me....”

Matou Kariya's eyes had completely lost their luster, and he was repeating certain words unconsciously.

However, what awaited him was not a clean death sentence, but the devil's decision to cut him into pieces.

"Kill you? What nonsense are you talking about? We have an autograph session that will last for a week, and you don't want to do it on the fourth day? You are so beautiful."

“…”

Please, be a human being!

At this moment, the man in his thirties was lying on the ground like a maggot, wriggling his body and making some kind of mournful cry.

I think if there was a crack in the ground, he would want to crawl into it.

"You...are not that old man at all!"

He looked at the skeleton-like old man in front of him with gnashed teeth.

Even though there was no difference in appearance, after four days of mental torture, Matou Kariya was extremely certain of this.

The biggest evidence was that Sakura was fine and the insect warehouse had been emptied.

Based on his understanding of his father, if it really was that damn old man, Sakura might have been tortured into a disabled person by now.

Although I am the one being tortured now...

Damn it!

Moreover, compared to this kind of posting of other people's history of being a middle school student, apart from the psychological blow, the rest can be said to be completely painless. A certain old bug has a much lower limit than him...

——Although it must be admitted that the mental blow alone is already causing Kariya great pain.

Plus the intentional or unintentional hints from Matou Tsuruno....

In short, the same thing applies: the two have very different styles of doing things.

"But you're really slow to realize it now."

"And to say it like that, I don't know whether to call it bold or reckless."

What surprised Matou Kariya was that the unknown magician in front of him who was disguised as Matou Zouken did not even deny it, but directly admitted it.

The skeleton-like body melted into a gelatinous blue slime, then reconstructed into a human form, and finally took shape on a handsome young man...

In this day and age, even special effects can't achieve this level.

What surprised Matou Kirei even more was that Sakura, who was standing next to him, did not show any surprise at all when she saw this scene. Instead, she grabbed the other person's hand...wait!

At this time, Matou Kariya suddenly realized a very important problem -

If Sakura knew the truth from the beginning, then...is poor Uncle Kariya the only one who is kept in the dark?

Chapter 560 Not Even a Spare Tire

Although Lin Qiao's confession was so decisive that it completely caught Matou Kariya off guard, he relaxed a little after the tension.

For him, no matter who it is, as long as it's not his own old man, everything else is fine.

"Where is that damn old man?" After recovering a little from the burnt-out state, Matou Kariya looked at Lin Qiao.

"I don't know who you are or what your purpose is, but you will replace that dead old man, so he should be dead, right?"

There was a hint of anticipation in the disgusted tone.

Thanks to Zouken Matou's behavior after his soul was completely corrupted, everyone in the Matou family, except for the still not very sensible Matou Shinji, is looking forward to his quick death.

but......

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Although I chased that guy away and he's afraid to go home, he's still alive."

"Tsk, what a pity..."

Matou Kariya slammed his fist on the ground with a look of regret, as if he had seen his roommate playing a game and was almost able to win the game, but was shot in the head by Old Silver Coin.

I feel like I'm not as good as I used to be...

However, no matter how regretful he felt, as an ordinary person, he could not change anything.

Lin Qiao looked at Yan Ye calmly: "And then? If there is anything else you want to ask, just tell me, so that there won't be any misunderstandings in the future if some things are not explained clearly."

"Problem... Actually it's nothing. After all, there are some things I don't know even if you tell me."

After thinking for a moment, Matou Kariya sighed.

It is true that he was curious about Lin Qiao's identity, but these things were not too important... He would not know the magician's family even if the other party told him the name.

And the fact that he treats Sakura well at least shows that the guy in front of him who is disguised as Matou Zouken should not be a cruel person.

——This is the most important thing.

".....But since you are not Zang Yan, why are you doing all this?"

Matou Kariya looked at Lin Qiao expressionlessly.

It would be fine if this person published his novel from his middle school years without permission, but he even asked me to hold a book signing event...

This is more than just killing people and destroying their hearts, it is simply killing people and destroying their hearts!

"You're talking about this, it's actually not that complicated..."

Lin Qiao smiled, and the next second she jumped in front of Yan Ye, who looked deflated.

"That's the expression! I want to see your expression of agony!"

"And by the way, if you dare to refuse the autograph sessions tomorrow and in the future, I will send all the novels to the Toosaka family."

"!"

Devil! This guy is a devil!

At this moment, the good impression that Yanye had of Lin Qiao, which he had formed after beating up Matou Zouken, completely disappeared.

It can avoid hurting the body, and only inflict painless but in some ways deeply tormenting the mind...

To some extent, the guy in front of him is even worse than Matou Zouken.

In fact, if we say that when there was no emotion before, Lin Qiao simply held the idea of ​​"If I can't be happy, no one else can be happy either."

After recovering his emotions and being able to feel happy again, his motivation to act suddenly became extraordinary.

".....But what is your purpose?"

Yanye bit his lower lip and looked at Lin Qiao who was holding Sakura with great reluctance.

"Although I'm grateful that you saved Sakura, a magician wouldn't do such helpful things, right?"

"If it's the dead old man's magic research or something you want, you can take it if you want."

"There is a secret door in the study. The old man took me there once before when he wanted to teach me magic... As for whether it is all there, I don't know. Apart from the old man himself, no one in our family knows what he is doing."

Tell everything you know as quickly as possible.

In Matou Kariya's opinion, if he could use those disgusting things to avoid some bad developments, or even get rid of the magician, then everything would be worth it.

The son sells his father's land without feeling bad, this is exactly what is happening now...

And if this guy leaves, autograph sessions and the like can be avoided!

I don’t want to be called Teacher Kariya anymore!

"Although I appreciate your help, my main purpose is not the magic book of the Matou family - or rather, this factor is there, but not much."

After all, as early as the first day of taking over the Matou family, Lin Qiao had already searched the Matou family's house thoroughly.

Apart from some obscure content that I couldn't understand, everything that needed to be translated had already been translated.

"Besides, I'm not a magician. As for my purpose... Strictly speaking, I only have one goal at the moment, and that is the Holy Grail."

Holy Grail War?

These four words instantly appeared in my mind.

Although it was true that Kariya had not learned any of the Matou family's magic, as a descendant of one of the three great families, he still knew some of its contents...

Of course, he only knew some superficial things, and he was powerless at a deeper level.

At the same time, as a reporter, Matou Kariya also keenly noticed some subtle aspects.

The other party said that he was not a magician, but he had the power to defeat Matou Zouken. In addition, he had seen the red mark on the back of the hand of the child named Sesshōin.

"So, you...are you a follower?"

He asked somewhat uncertainly...but was greeted with an affirmative nod from Lin Qiao.

"Although it's not completely correct, from your perspective, it's not a wrong answer either."

"...Neither right nor wrong, such a strange answer..."
