Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

Zenjo Aoi held the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and her eyes showed a weak attitude, but there was also a sense of expectation that she wanted to refuse but also to welcome.

Fan Yu: "In that case, you will only have this one path to connect with me. This is the sin that your daughter has plotted against me, and as her guardian, you must bear."

Zenjo Aoi was stunned: "Connect?"

Her face couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression.

Fan Yu said calmly, "You will know."

The next second, Zenjo Aoi quickly realized why the man in front of her said that.

As Fan Yu's body slowly stood up, his reflection in the room was reflected. A sword blade was slowly unsheathed and directly stood in front of Zen Cheng Kui.

The latter looked at the red-hot sword blade at close range, and the fierce aura emanating from it made her heart tremble.

There was an irritating burning sensation in the air. Zenjo Aoi, sitting on the ground, became uneasy and even frightened, causing heat to surge through his body and wet his clothes.

"you……"

At this moment, she completely understood the specific meaning of the so-called connection.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Fan Yu got up from the room refreshed, put on his clothes and opened the window.

In the guesthouse at the foot of the mountain in Fuyuki City, the morning air was particularly humid. A cool breeze blew in from outside, dispelling some of the turbid smells left in the room.

Fan Yu took a deep breath, exhaled, stretched himself, and felt a pleasant release throughout his body and mind.

The cool breeze also stirred Zenjo Aoi in the house. She woke up with a sore back and tears in her eyes. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the man who had connected with her body yesterday, and she was speechless for a moment.

Resistance, anger, responsibility, helplessness, submission, betrayal, happiness...all the emotions intertwined together, making her eyes complicated.

"Good morning, Miss Zenjo."

Fan Yu turned around and greeted her, but this time he didn't call her "Madam" or "Mrs."

The feeling of betrayal in Zenjo Aoi's heart faded a little, but at the same time, she turned her face away.

Fan Yu watched this scene and didn't care at all.

He never advertised whether his stance was good or bad, and he himself had no regrets during yesterday's process.

For Rin Toosaka, she had a good sleep for a whole day and night.

For Zenjo Aoi, she wanted to regret after throwing herself into the fire, but she found that she almost burned herself to death, and now only embers are left.

For Fanyu, the experience is pleasure, and it is also a feedback brought by the connection.

【Biological Information】

Connector: Zenjo Aoi (Tousaka Aoi)

Gender: Female.

Attributes: None.

Status: Aftertaste. (Can be linked to obtain related properties)

Traits: Calm as water/Moth to a flame/Mystical exploration/Night wanderer...

Current connection level: Depth 6 (spectral color blue)

[Today's Feedback: Obtain the trait "Moth to Flame"]!

Compared to Fan Yu's previous connections, Zen Cheng Kui's attributes were rather pitiful. But it must be said that this was the one Fan Yu encountered and then connected with the fastest.

This had nothing to do with his nature, but rather it was something displayed by the other party that gave Fan Yu a completely different feeling about him from before to now.

At this moment, the connection between him and Zencheng Kui was lingering, and the feeling conveyed by the other party was not regret or disgust, which was something he had not expected.

Fan Yu couldn't help but look at the characteristics he got from her——

[Moth to a flame]: An ordinary person who longs to encounter something dangerous. (When encountering something dangerous, the mind becomes clearer/higher.)

This is a conceptual trait, probably a limited conditional "explosion" under abnormal conditions. Based on Fanyu's basic attributes, it is a passive skill with "useful value but not particularly great".

Zenjo Aoi covered her body and said in a hoarse voice: "Good morning..."

She looked at her daughter beside her. Although her daughter had been put into a sleeping state by the magic used by the other party since yesterday, as a mother, she showed her own embarrassment and let her daughter become a prisoner. A new sense of guilt could not help but appear on Zenjo Aoi's face.

Fan Yu didn't even stay in the room. He glanced at Tosaka Rin lying on the ground and reminded her, "Her magic will wear off in a few hours, and she'll wake up by then. I'm going to go out for a walk. If you need anything to eat, ask the owner of the B&B to get it for you."

"Don't try to escape. You should be well aware of the consequences of our own [Connection] by now. It will only make things more troublesome."

When it comes to the second half of the sentence, it is more like a completely indifferent control rather than a threat from Fan Yu.

Zencheng Kui couldn't refute: "..."

As for her current state, she actually reached the peak moment when the [Connection] continued to resonate yesterday. The experience of being able to connect with people's souls really made her feel frightened and extremely ashamed.

She could only nod softly, then sit there silently, waiting for Fan Yu to leave before getting up to wash up and greet her daughter with the best attitude.

Fan Yu: "That's it."

After he finished speaking, he opened the door to the room and walked out.

……

downstairs.

After Fan Yu walked out of the B&B in the morning, he met the little girl Mizue Ayako whom he had met before.

The latter had just finished drying the quilts for his aunt, the proprietress of Meizhu, early in the morning. He passed by Fan Yu carrying a large basin and bowed politely, "Hello, sir."

Fan Yu also responded politely.

"When you came back last night, was that your wife and daughter?" Ayako Mizue was obviously a little girl who was not even 1.2 meters tall, but her eyes were full of gossip.

Fan Yu shook his head subtly: "That's not the case."

Mizutsu Ayako: "Huh? That's even scarier."

In her little head, the only concept she had of a family of three living together was family. Everything else was just bad stuff.

"Do you know anything?"

Mizue Ayako immediately shook her head to indicate she didn't understand, then suddenly realized something: "Oh, right, there were a few more bugs in the entrance this morning. My aunt couldn't kill them, and they kept crawling around everywhere."

Fan Yu: "Bugs?"

"Look, that's it. The strange thing is that when they broke into the upstairs entrance, they turned into this. Bugs are really scary things!" Mizue Ayako pointed to the floor of the entrance next to her, where several dead bugs covered in white mud fell to the ground.

When Fan Yu saw the bugs on the ground, his expression froze.

He walked forward to check it out, picked up the bug on the ground, and smelled a strange smell from it.

Moreover, he glanced at the direction of the entrance stairs where these insects were about to go. There happened to be the door leading to the second floor of the homestay. Before Fan Yu left, he had set up some simple barriers to prevent the relics in the room from being stolen.

And these bugs just bumped into it very cleverly.

Fan Yu shook it, his brows furrowed.

Mizutsu Ayako looked at him in confusion: "Do you know the origin of these strange insects?"

Fan Yu shook his head and threw the insect corpses on the ground. Although the insects were gone, the faint magical aura left after death was difficult to dissipate.

Considering the tendency of these insects, one can't help but suspect that it was the work of a magician.

"It's better for you, a little kid, not to touch these things." Fan Yu rubbed her little head and deliberately messed up her hair, which made Meizhu Lingzi dissatisfied and she pushed him away.

Fan Yu left the B&B with a smile.

Ten minutes after leaving, Fan Yu opened up the star core to create a crack and returned to Yuanzang Mountain again.

Deep in the mountains, a golden light emanated from the back of Fan Yu's hand. His star core had the ability to create cracks, and the coordinates left on Yuanzang Mountain appeared frequently, so he was already very familiar with it.

He once again confirmed the breath he tracked yesterday, and through the concentration of his vision, he discovered a second breath in the scene, which did not belong to Tōsaka Tokiomi.

"This time it's to the south of Yuanzang Mountain?" Fan Yu turned to the side with a thoughtful look.

He looked up at the direction where the magical light drifted away from his vision. That location was a bit far from Yuanzang Mountain. He simply gave up the idea of ​​going there immediately and walked into the crack instead, returning to the vicinity of the guesthouse.

When I returned to the B&B, Zencheng Kui had already tidied up everything in the room.

Of the many traces left from yesterday, only a small patch of ground remained with a watermark, which, with Fan Yu's return, was covered by her foot. Next to her, Tōsaka Rin was still sleeping soundly, sprawled out on her back.

"You're back so soon." Zen Cheng Kui was very stiff, and then said tactfully: "I cleaned your room. I didn't use those things. Please forgive me."

Fan Yu waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

He stared at Zenjo Aoi and asked curiously, "Since you also come from a magic family in the Far East, do you know of a magician who can manipulate insects?"

Zenjo Aoi: "Bugs?"

"If we're talking about bugs, then there's only the Matou family."

Chapter 14 Matou

Fan Yu: "Matou?"

Zenjo Aoi nodded.

From the information she learned after marrying into the Tohsaka clan's mansion, she learned that the name of the Three Great Families of the Holy Grail War originated from the first Holy Grail War. They were originally three magicians who completed the Holy Grail research together, but for some unknown reason they parted ways and fought each other.

The rules that were subsequently refined by generations were used to constrain the fighting, and the three families of Tōsaka, Matou, and Einzbern became permanent participants in the Holy Grail War.

In another sense, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City is the result of the magic accomplished by their three ancestors.

"Shichen... no, that person said that the current head of the Matou family exudes a foul smell of insects." Zenjo Aoi said tactfully.

Fan Yu was very interested in her words, or rather, he was very interested in the Matou clan.

However, Zencheng Aoi's words left Fan Yu feeling a bit puzzled. While in the [Harmonious Bliss] spectrum connection state, Zencheng Aoi's thoughts were clearly fluctuating as he mentioned the Matou clan.

Although she never showed it on her face, her inner emotional fluctuations were transmitted to Fan Yu's mind in the form of waves through the resonant amplitude brought by the spectrum.

"Madam, are you deliberately leading me towards the Matou clan?" Fan Yu asked her scrutinizingly.

Zenjo Aoi's face was stunned, and he shook his head subconsciously: "No, I didn't think of doing that."

She knew that the magician's methods would not be so gentle, so she rarely expressed her opinions on things she did not understand.

However, the Matou clan held a special meaning for her, and when hearing about such things, it was hard not to consider the people she was familiar with...

Whether it's her childhood sweetheart, Matou Kariya, or her adopted daughter, Sakura—the Matou clan and she share a deep connection. Even though she reminisces about the carefree days they shared as children, she still manages to hide her longing for her daughter.

But in Fan Yu's [connected] state, it is impossible to hide completely.

Facing Fan Yu's gaze, Zen Cheng Kui finally couldn't bear the pressure from those golden eyes and said slowly, "I do have a history with the Matou clan, but I never intended to deliberately guide you on this matter.

Maybe you can sense everything about me, but I just think of Sakura."

Fan Yu showed a curious look: "Tell me about it!"

Zencheng Aoi: "..."

She didn't want to reveal that she had a daughter, as she already had Rin as a weak spot. Her husband had finally managed to adopt Sakura, a girl with magical talent, into the Matou clan, avoiding such a bleak future. Such a future shouldn't have anything to do with her.

But at this moment she was helpless.

Over the next few minutes, Zenjo Aoi explained his story. The current generation of the Matou clan was declining, with virtually no descendants with magical talent among the heirs. And Tōsaka Tokiomi, from a prominent family, had adopted his daughter as a bargaining chip in a trade between magicians, reaping considerable benefits in return.

And their daughter will become the future head of the Matou clan.

"Is it the story of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs?" Fan Yu held his chin, thinking.

There was a guilty look on Zenjo Aoi's face. Whether she admitted it or not, her husband did unilaterally think that this was good for Sakura and would also benefit the Tohsaka clan.

"However, from what I understand about the magician system, it's generally not enough to just have magic qualifications, right? Each family usually has its own unique inheritance. If a random magician who wants to learn from them wants to learn, he needs a corresponding matching degree of adaptability." Fan Yu reminded.

If magic were really that easy to create, there wouldn't be so many independent systems. There wouldn't be so many magicians in the Far East, let alone the whole world.

Zencheng Aoi was stunned for a moment. She really didn't understand that inheriting magic required so many steps.

"It's not easy for a child born in Tosaka to inherit the magic of other famous families."

Zenjo Aoi didn't know that this wasn't the other party's instigation, but some worry appeared on her face involuntarily. The change she showed when she mentioned the Matou clan was essentially her instinct as a mother.

Hearing Fan Yu's words at this moment, the expression on his face couldn't help but become more worried.

"Can you take me to see it?" Zencheng Aoi said tactfully, and the cuffs in her hands involuntarily fell to the hem of her skirt at her waist, lifting it slightly.

A blush quickly appeared on her face, and the feeling of shame and immorality eroded Zenjo Aoi's body and mind.
