The Otherworld Card Collector

"Snapped--"

"——What is it?"

"That's what you said about him not having any close friends at school."

Tachibana continued while recalling the past.

"Although I didn't see any male friends, there were still several girls surrounding Matou Shirou. And although his attitude was cold, he didn't seem to be rejecting or impatient. From this point of view, he should have female friends."

"Snapped--"

“—Oh, and then?”

"Then, I said, Pingsong, why are there strange noises over there?"

"I'm in the shower, that's the sound of water."

"Oh."

Tachibana's tone was a little confusing.

She also takes a shower, but is the sound of water like this when she takes a shower?

Oh, forget it, there’s nothing to delve into. It doesn’t affect their communication anyway.

After thinking about it, Tachibana opened the way again.

"I wonder if we can start with Matou Shirou's female friends."

"I don't think it's necessary."

Hiramatsu looked at Shirou Matou's left hand reaching out from behind him. There was a message on the phone he was holding. After reading it, he spoke decisively.

"Although this is a gradual process, Dr. Amamiya can't wait that long."

"you're right."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Tachibana wanted to proceed step by step to avoid unnecessary incidents such as alerting the enemy.

But Dr. Amemiya is not a slow-tempered person.

If I don't make enough progress, I will most likely be blamed by Dr. Amemiya.

It was good enough that she was just being blamed. If Dr. Amemiya was in a bad mood that day, or if she was on her period and was as irritable as a female Tyrannosaurus Rex, then she and Hiramatsu might have been affected.

哇；

Don’t do that!

Tachibana couldn't help but shudder, and her already unhappy expression became even more unhappy.

Damn it, if she hadn't been trapped by that 'slit-mouthed woman' named Amemiya, she really wanted to resign and find a job in a normal hospital.

But this seems a bit too much to hope for.

Due to the influence of policies and other factors, it is difficult to find hospitals in this island country that are not involved in gray or even black industries.

Not to mention whether it is public or private, even small clinics are full of filth. As long as she works as a nurse, is it really possible for her to escape the darkness lurking beneath the surface?

Tachibana was a little confused.

But fortunately, Pingsong heard that she was silent, so he called out twice, breaking her out of her sad thoughts and sighed.

"I heard that Matou Shirou's family doesn't seem to be poor, so I guess tempting him with a generous bounty as a reward won't work."

"In that case, how about we just break Matou Shirou's arm and use that as an excuse to have him admitted to St. Julianna Hospital? Then, Dr. Amemiya can use his connections to have him transferred to the research institute?"

"How could you think that, Hiramatsu!"

The answer that came from the phone after the hands-free mode was turned on made Matou Shirou raise his eyebrows.

So he thought for a moment and immediately asked Pingsong to explain.

"This is what Dr. Amemiya said. I'm just repeating it."

Oh, that's okay.

Dr. Amemiya is indeed capable of doing such a sinister thing.

Tachibana had no doubt that Dr. Amemiya had a low bottom line and was able to do things that ordinary people could not do.

"Anyway, I'll figure it out."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Hiramatsu then turned over and looked at Matou Shirou, who was sitting on the sofa thinking after finishing 300 push-ups, and spoke.

"What's next?"

"let me see."

"Can I take a bath during the time you want?"

"Go."

Hiramatsu turned around and headed for the bathroom without hesitation.

"Ah, Miss Hiramatsu!"

"No, you didn't even clean yourself up before entering the pool!"

"Is it necessary? Wouldn't it be clean after just a dip in the pool?"

"A Guang, give me the birth control pills, I want the birth control pills!"

"Don't worry, Blondie-kun. Hot water at this temperature can easily inactivate soy milk."

"what?"

"You don't even know this? I doubt your biology grade is the worst in the school."

"Wow, Miss Hiramatsu, after spending so much time with Matou, it seems you've become quite sharp-tongued..."

There was a lot of noise in the bathroom, while in the living room, Shirou Matou finished his thoughts.

Although it was just a simple phone call, he keenly realized that Tachibana was not an accomplice of the inhumane Dr. Amemiya.

On the contrary, judging from her unwillingness to use the 'broken arm' trick on her side, although she appears vicious on the outside, she might actually be very gentle on the inside.

In this way;

"Maybe I can persuade Tachibana to rebel."

Matou Shirou muttered to himself.

Having only Hiramatsu is a bit stretched, but with Tachibana to cover for him, he would have more plans to choose from and could act more easily.

..

Chapter 80: Ten times? You're not even weak at this?!

"What do you think?"

"I think we can give it a try."

Hiramatsu yawned lazily and lay flat on the sofa. After hearing Matou Shirou's thoughts, he expressed his opinion ambiguously.

This is what an old slacker does.

Matou Shirou looked towards the entrance.

It's almost evening now. Nishizono Ria and Kuroda Hikaru have already left. Later, Hikaru Suzuka will come over to cook dinner. After everyone finishes dinner together, the Kurumizaka Ruri trio will also come to participate in the school meeting.

Kuroda Hikaru only attends the noon session.

After all, her grades were not bad, so she didn't have to worry about her parents being called in after the exam or having to take a make-up exam.

Matou Shirou averted his gaze again.

"Tell me why."

He was not going to let Pingsong off so easily, so he made the best use of it.

Pingsong also knows that it is impossible for her to pass the test so easily, and in order to maintain her current high quality of life, she will also try her best to be motivated.

So I thought about it for a while and then told it to you in detail.

"I should have told you."

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think."

"Ok?"

"Tell me everything in detail."

"it is good."

Pingsong didn't complain about anything. That was her good point: she never seemed to get angry no matter what happened.

Matou Shirou crossed his legs and listened to Hiramatsu stating his opinion on Tachibana, and then summarized it into three key points;

First of all, unlike Hiramatsu, Tachibana has a bad temper, but although she has a bad temper, she rarely shows it at work. Instead, her face is always sour, and the more pressure she is under, the more sour her face becomes.

Secondly, Tachibana is just as unsociable as Hiramatsu, but Hiramatsu's unsociability is due to her laziness. She is too lazy to attend many social events or dinners. But if you invite her, she will still go, but she will just sit at her own table, eat and play by herself, and be completely self-centered. Tachibana, on the other hand, simply refuses. Apart from necessary work interactions, she basically keeps to herself.

Finally, Tachibana would basically do whatever Dr. Amemiya told her to do, but if it wasn't something Dr. Amemiya told her to do, she would hardly care and would just do her job as a nurse.

Mixed together and analyzed——

'A worker who goes with the flow.'

Matou Shirou adds to Tachibana's first impression;

'A normal person with a conscience.'

Combined with the information obtained earlier, the conclusion drawn from my own tentative investigation using the fracture as an excuse added a second layer to Tachibana's more concrete image;

"I suspect that Amemiya has something on me."

This is the third payment.

After making this move, Shirou Matou felt that he really needed to think about his plan carefully.

But this matter cannot involve anyone other than himself and Hiramatsu, so after Mitsuyu Suzuka came over, Matou Shirou did not mention this matter again, and Hiramatsu also tacitly did not mention it again.

"Try my spicy chicken."

Guangliu Lingxia narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"I bought these chilies online from Tianchao Tianfu and used them to make this spicy chicken."

"How is it, Brother-sama?"

“It tastes good, but lacks spice.”

"Not enough chili?"

"Yeah, spicy chicken, spicy chicken. A plate of spicy chicken without chicken. When you pick it up with your chopsticks, it has to be half spicy and half chicken."

Oh my god, doesn’t that just mean eating chili peppers?

Guang Liu Lingxia looked horrified.

She thought she could eat spicy food, but just like the spicy chicken that Shirou Matou had described, she felt that if she ate it, it would be extremely spicy. Her throat would smoke when she ate it, and her soul gate would bleed when she had diarrhea.

hiss--

Are all Chinese people like spicy food?!

Guangliu Lingxia couldn't help but cover her butt. She couldn't imagine the scene of her anus being stained with blood, squatting in the toilet for a whole day, and then being taken to the anorectal hospital for treatment.

That would be too painful.

But looking at Matou Shirou eating spicy food with ease, Guangliu Lingxia suddenly felt that her brother also had an iron stomach and a titanium spirit gate.

But then again, my brother looks so elegant and cool like this!

Then Guang Liulingxia spoke with a hint of meaning.

"Brother."

"Ok?"
