I really didn't want to burn it.

"careful!"

Li Ang quickly snapped his fingers.

The tray, which was about to fall to the ground, stopped steadily in mid-air and slowly moved onto the table.

"sorry."

Shirou lowered his head and apologized to Li Ang.

Li Ang waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's our problem. This is indeed a bit too exciting for you... Ouch."

Chloris once again caused Leon's back pain.

"If you weren't disturbed, would you be even more unreasonable?"

"How could that be? This is someone else's house. You said you were lacking in kisses, that's why I kissed you."

Li Ang and Chloris exchanged a silent glance instantly.

As a result, Li Ang's back hurt even more.

"I'm so sorry!" > Person <

Shirou lowered his head once again.

"I already said it's okay."

Li Ang waved his hand and said.

He truly never expected that Red A, who always seemed to dislike him no matter how he looked at him, could actually be such a well-behaved child at times.

"What kind of weird path did he take to grow up to look like that... He's really not cute at all."

"Hey, Shirou-chan."

"Yes."

Li Ang solemnly said to Shirou, "Remember, no matter what happens in the future, you must not dye your skin black! Otherwise, you'll become a despicable thug."

"Ok?"

Shirou tilted his head, his little head filled with a multitude of big question marks.

----------------

at the same time.

"Ah!"

Red A in Chaldea suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Arch, do you have a cold?" Ritsuka asked curiously.

“Definitely not!” Red A replied dejectedly. “I have a chill down my spine.”

written request for leave

As the title says, I took the day off today.

I went out to visit relatives today, hoping that I could at least write a chapter while I was away, just like the previous two days.

As a result, the kids were too noisy, and I couldn't concentrate at all. So I only wrote 1000 words.

At first, Mi-chan was thinking of at least writing a chapter to ensure full attendance, but then she realized that she had been going to bed after 1 a.m. for the past few days and her condition was getting worse day by day.

I've decided to take today off to rest.

Tomorrow is the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, and I can finally stay home.

So... three updates tomorrow! Consider it compensation for today. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 132 The Man Known as the Magician Killer

Emiya Kiritsugu dragged his weary body toward his home.

The conversation with Mr. Fujimura was not tiring, and the two families were not far apart, but this simple visit to his neighbor left Kiritsugu Emiya feeling deeply exhausted.

"As expected... has this body finally given up?"

A normal 33-year-old adult's body wouldn't be in such a state; it can only be said that the war four years ago completely ruined Kiritsugu's body.

Affected by the black mud, Kiritsugu Emiya's body is gradually weakening. Not only are his hands and feet atrophying and making it difficult for him to move, but his vision is also beginning to blur.

Although these symptoms are not yet very obvious, Kiritsugu calculated that he had at most a year to live.

This is also why Kiritsugu went to see Grandpa Fujimura today; he hopes that the other man can help take care of his adopted son after his death.

If there's anyone in this world that Kiritsugu Emiya can't let go of, besides his biological daughter Illya, it's his adopted son Shirou.

As for Illya, Kiritsugu was already powerless to help.

As he gradually lost his magical abilities, he found it extremely difficult to even enter the forest barrier of Einzbern, and he was powerless to find the starting point of the barrier.

Despite his repeated trips to Germany, Kiritsugu Emiya could only wander aimlessly in the snow and wind, as the Einzbern family had clearly rejected him.

Shirou, on the other hand, is another person Kiritsugu Emiya cares about.

The child who saved him and pulled him out of despair can be said to be Kiritsugu Emiya's only remaining treasure.

However, in Shirou's eyes, Kiritsugu, who saved him from the fire, was his hero and his role model, whom he regarded as an incomparably great person.

"Silly child, I'm the one you saved..."

Kiritsugu feels ashamed whenever he thinks of Shirou Emiya's admiring gaze.

My ugly self is not worthy of that angelic child's worship.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that being able to live such a happy and fulfilling life in the final period of one's life is a blessing from God.

It is precisely because of Shirou's innocence and kindness that Kiritsugu can show a kind smile like a big child.

"He really is an amazing child. I should say he's truly worthy of being my son."

Thinking of his son, Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't help but smile, and his previously gloomy mood began to brighten.

"What should I ask Shirou to make for me tonight?"

Kiritsugu was very proud of his adopted son's culinary skills.

However, Shirou's initial skills were truly haphazard.

Kiritsugu vividly remembered the "horrific" state of Shirou's first cooking experience; it was clearly not human food. Even as he ate it, Kiritsugu saw Irisviel waving at him.

If Fujimura Taiga hadn't slapped him, he would have met Alice back then.

Fortunately, Shirou worked hard enough, and after a period of time his skills improved from "lethal level" to "professional level".

Tonight's dinner at the Emiya family's house has become something Kiritsugu looks forward to every day.

"Shirou, I'm back."

Kiritsugu opened the mansion door and immediately noticed the unfamiliar shoes in the entryway.

"Ok?"

Emiya Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes.

These two pairs of shoes are clearly for adults, so they definitely don't belong to Shirou's friend.

If one can live in seclusion, there shouldn't be any guests visiting on one's own initiative.

After all, Kiritsugu no longer associates with the magicians he knew before his seclusion; and those he met after the Holy Grail War were all acquaintances from the neighborhood.

At that moment, Kiritsugu heard Shirou's excited voice coming from the living room.

"Shirou, is anyone visiting?"

Kiritsugu casually opened the paper door to the living room, his hands tucked into his robes.

There, she saw two strangers, a man and a woman, facing the door, while her adopted son, with his back to her, was talking to them.

Although he couldn't see Shirou's expression, Kiritsugu could sense his excitement from Shirou's words.

"Really? Brother Li Ang, can magic really do that?"

“Of course.” Li Ang nodded. “The limits of magic are beyond what ordinary people can imagine. I once tried to create a road on the sea using ice.”

"That's really amazing!"

Shirou blinked his big eyes, which were full of little stars.

"Shirou, we have a guest."

Kiritsugu interrupted their conversation.

"Ah, Dad. You're back."

Shirou then noticed his adoptive father and quickly ran over to hug him.

"Dad, Brother Li Ang and Sister Chloris have come to visit you."

"Is it."

Kiritsugu affectionately patted Shirou's little head.

"Dad, Dad! Let me tell you, Brother Li Ang is really amazing! He can actually freeze the ocean so that people can walk on it!"

"Oh, yes."

Kiritsugu, however, was somewhat dismissive of Li Ang's words.

Although he wasn't a particularly skilled magician, he had dealt with quite a few magicians and had a very deep understanding of magic.

While magicians can certainly freeze the ocean, as Li Ang claims, only a select few can do it.

The young man named Li Ang in front of me is definitely not among them.

At least, during his time as a magician killer, Kiritsugu Emiya had never heard of Leon's name.

"Hello, Mr. Kiritsugu Emiya. I apologize for the intrusion and for disturbing you."

Li Ang bowed slightly to Kiritsugu.

Since they've come to invite someone, even if they don't have the same persistence as Liu Bei's three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage, they should at least express their sincerity.

Kiritsugu patted Shirou's head and said, "Shirou, why don't you go play in the yard first?"

Although Kiritsugu eventually gave in to Shirou's persistent pleading and taught him magic, Kiritsugu himself did not want Shirou to delve into the cruel world of magicians, nor did he want the boy to know about his sordid past.

"understood."

Shirou nodded obediently.

Just now, Li Ang's brother told me that he had something important to discuss with our father.

"Goodbye, Brother Li Ang and Sister Chloris."

Shirou first waved goodbye to Li Ang and the other man, and only left the living room after receiving a response from them.

"What a well-behaved and sensible child."

Li Ang couldn't help but sigh.

This well-behaved little boy is worlds apart from that guy who blew up someone's bedroom without warning. How did he end up so awful?!

"Of course, he is the child I am very proud of."

Kiritsugu's boastful display of conformity is reminiscent of an old father showing off his child.

"I'm so proud of it..."

Li Ang made a pointed remark.

He could sense Kiritsugu's fatherly love for Shirou, so he was really curious about what Kiritsugu would think if he knew about Archer's existence.

"So, sir magician, what brings you here?"
