Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"No, it's true that I hate it, but please. What Tohsaka said is probably right."

"Then it's decided for tomorrow."

Lin Yan only learned magic from Rin Tohsaka out of interest. Actually, he wouldn't have needed to learn it at all. Just like Rin Tohsaka said, Lin Yan's strength is beyond doubt.

At this moment, Lin Yan suddenly asked.

Do you like Saber?

"I like her. Because there's nothing I dislike about her, right? She's strong, polite, and beautiful. She's so different from my sarcastic guy."

"Is that so? Tohsaka likes Saber."

"What? I just said she was the type I liked back then. You, you, change that direct way of speaking. It's easy to make enemies."

“I refuse. I don’t like talking in circles like Tosaka, and I’m not good at talking anyway.”

"Yeah, I guess so. Lin Yan doesn't seem like the type to say annoying things or be sarcastic. Yeah, anyway, you just think I'm a nagging and annoying guy, right?"

I like what you say. I always feel that you wouldn't be like yourself if you didn't say it this way.

Rin Tohsaka looked quite unhappy and then shifted her gaze elsewhere. In truth, Rin didn't harbor any hostility or resentment towards Saber; in fact, she even liked Saber somewhat. After all, while Saber sometimes didn't act like an ordinary human, she was very considerate of others, even going so far as to force herself to do dangerous things.

And so another day came to an end.

Lin Yan arrived at the warehouse.

On his way to the warehouse, Lin Yan suddenly stopped and looked at the night sky in the distance. The night sky had a calm and profound beauty. In the biting cold wind, Lin Yan did not even feel the cold. He was so attracted by the deep night sky that he did not realize that time had passed.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

"Who is it?" At this moment, the person appeared in front of Lin Yan. "You, do you remember... Archer, the Servant from Tohsaka?"

In truth, Lin Yan had never actually met Archer, but he had already guessed it. Archer also gave a faint smile. Lin Yan knew about Shirou and Archer's past and present lives.

Archer is what Shirou will look like in the future.

It can actually be understood as Shirou in the future, or Shirou in another timeline.

Archer was summoned by Rin Tohsaka because Archer possessed a Rin Tohsaka family heirloom necklace, which had no magical power and was left behind when Rin saved Shirou. Rin didn't use a medium to summon him, but Archer carried Rin's medium, thus establishing a connection. It can be said that Rin, without using any other medium, would summon Archer regardless of how she does so.

"What's the matter?"

"fine."

Archer had a strange feeling about the person before him, a very peculiar connection. He could sense the person's strength, yet there was another, indescribable feeling. The inability to defeat this person was the true voice within Archer's heart.

The two stared at each other, locked in a standoff.

"Any objections?" Lin Yan asked. Although he knew about Archer and Shirou's past and present lives, he was not Shirou Emiya after all, so he didn't want to get involved. As for the grudges between Archer and Shirou Emiya, he would let them resolve them themselves after he left.

"Listen carefully. The methods of the righteous side cannot restore tragic events or miserable deaths. That's the limit. The righteous side simply exists to efficiently handle what has happened."

"There's absolutely no way to save you or the people you want to save. Ideals are just ideals. As long as you continue to cling to ideals, you'll constantly rub against reality. This is the path you've chosen. And one day you'll have to face reality and pay the bill."

Your choices could cost many lives. At least be prepared. Be prepared to know what's right and who deserves punishment when you feel your own insignificance. If you can't do that, then abandon those dreams and magic right now. Archer wasn't entirely wrong, but Lin Yan isn't Emiya Shirou, and the relationship between Emiya Shirou and Archer is complex.

Archer had already disappeared into the night.

"Haha." Lin Yan simply chuckled. It seemed Archer was completely unaware of the current situation. Ever since Lin Yan entered this world, the predetermined fate of everything in this world had already changed. In this world, absolutely no one could defeat Lin Yan, and even if Emiya Shirou reappeared, it wouldn't change anything.

"I'm leaving, Lin Yan. I'll be buying gifts today, so be good." Sister Teng turned and left; she had to go to work.

"I'm leaving too. I'm going to my house today, so I'll be a little late, but I'll be back before dinner." Rin Tohsaka then left as well.

Lin Yan checked the time; it was exactly 7:30.

"Next... I want to take a nap, Saber." Lin Yan glanced at Saber and suddenly thought of a question. Before becoming a Servant, the human Saber was Artoria Pendragon, the legendary king of ancient Britain, also known as King Arthur. Artoria Pendragon's life was full of legends; a queen of a kingdom, now a Servant, walking on the edge of a knife, a dance of blood and flesh.

"What kind of person were you before?"

"Lin Yan, did you say something?"

"I was just wondering what kind of person you used to be. I didn't want to know your real name, I just wanted to know what kind of life you lived."

"What kind of person was I in the past, is that right? You really care about strange things, Lin Yan."

"I'll just ignore the troublesome part. It was just a thought that came to mind. Saber may be a different person before she became a Servant, even though she is a swordsman's Servant."

"I think that's impossible. Becoming a Servant doesn't change one's personality, and I'm a knight born with a longsword. The different version of me you're talking about doesn't exist."

"Although you have responsibilities, you can't just fulfill your responsibilities. You also have things you want to do."

“So, what I should do is protect you.” After Saber finished speaking, she added, “It’s lunchtime, Lin Yan.”

"Oh.

Lin Yan knew Saber wanted to end the conversation. He was indeed a little hungry, but that was fine. He wasn't after an answer anyway; he just wanted Saber's attitude towards the matter. Judging from her reaction, Lin Yan had already gathered enough information.

"Let's eat. Is there anything Saber would like to eat?"

"I don't have any particular cravings. I'll be happy with any dish Lin Yan prepares."

"I'm going to buy some things. I'll be back around the same time as yesterday. You can go to the living room."

"I'm looking forward to it, Lin Yan." Lin Yan pondered that he should still prepare some of his own unique dishes for lunch. After all, the variety of food in the island nation is limited. It can fill one's stomach, but when it comes to gourmet food, one's own country's cuisine is still the best in the world.

"We've bought all the ingredients for lunch, and the tea at three o'clock is also fine. Let's head home." Lin Yan bought a wide variety of ingredients at the supermarket, but buying ingredients does require some thought, since the cuisines of each country are very different, so it takes some effort.

"That guy isn't here. Ilya didn't appear at the place we met last time, and I really couldn't sense Ilya's presence."

Everyone's aura is different; it's somewhat similar to Observation Haki.

Lin Yan can sense the aura of different people, and can accurately sense distance and movement speed.

Lin Yan returned to his residence.

Few could resist the delicious food Lin Yan prepared, and this time he was ready to show off his skills. Cantonese cuisine originated in the Central Plains, inheriting the Central Plains' culinary style of "exquisite food preparation and meticulous cooking," making Cantonese dishes quite complex and refined. Cantonese dishes use a wide variety of ingredients, are highly versatile, use precise quantities, are beautifully and vibrantly decorated, and have a light flavor, seeking beauty in subtlety while pursuing color, aroma, taste, and presentation. Cooking methods include frying, steaming, baking, deep-frying, stewing, and braising, resulting in dishes that are smooth yet not greasy, with a wide variety of styles. Representative dishes include: poached chicken, baby soup in superior broth, boiled shrimp, garlic ribs, oyster sauce lettuce, glutinous rice chicken, and lava buns.

This time, Lin Yan prepared poached chicken, baby soup, boiled shrimp, garlic ribs, and lettuce with oyster sauce. He originally wanted to make glutinous rice chicken, but he didn't have any glutinous rice ready, so he had to give up.

Actually, Lin Yan's hometown cuisine is braised dishes.

"Lin Yan, this is so hot."

Saber was really looking forward to it. She first ate a boiled prawn. The prawn was still very hot, but it looked delicious and looked very appealing.

Are you afraid of getting burned?

"The prawns were very fresh, and the blanching method preserved their freshness, which was simply wonderful."

“As long as you like it.

“Yes. It’s a pity we can’t give some to Rin or Taiga.” Saber said while eating the delicious food, and there was so much food, it made everyone’s mouths water. “I’m so lucky!” Saber took another bite of the poached chicken. The key to making poached chicken lies in the cooking time and the combination of seasonings. Fresh free-range chickens are selected, and the whole chicken is plucked and gutted. Then, it is blanched in boiling water to remove any blood residue and odor. Next, the chicken is placed in cold water, and the water temperature is slowly raised to 80 degrees Celsius. It is then simmered over medium-low heat for 30 minutes. At this point, the cooking time is just right, and the chicken is tender and juicy. Finally, after the chicken is taken out, it is immediately soaked in cold water to make the meat more plump. The accompanying sauces usually include minced scallions, ginger, and garlic, peanut butter, seafood soy sauce, etc. Each seasoning adds a unique flavor to the poached chicken.

Saber is eating quietly; she looks so happy.

"If that's not enough, can I make another plate?" In the blink of an eye, the last boiled shrimp was gone, Lin Yan said.

I am already very satisfied.

"Let's have tea after the meal. I'll brew it right away, just wait a moment," Lin Yan said with a smile. "It's nice to drink different teas sometimes."

"But that's the problem. Lin Yan's cooking is delicious. If he refuses to cook from now on, my fighting spirit will definitely be weakened. I'm still too inexperienced. Although I should have experienced this many times before, the issue of supplies is still such a terrible thing." At this moment, Saber suddenly noticed the direction outside the door. In fact, Lin Yan also noticed a presence approaching. Saber said, "Lin Yan. It seems there are guests."

“I heard that too. I’ll go for a bit, you stay here.”

"No. Let's go together."

At this moment, a voice came from afar. Lin Yan was quick to pick up all the information and immediately recognized it as Yi Cheng's.

Ryudo Kazunari is a student in Class 2-C of Homurahara High School and serves as the student council president of Homurahara Academy.

"Sorry to bother you. I heard you weren't feeling well, so I came to see you, Lin Yan."

"What, is it one-tenth?"

"To be honest, that's really rude. Is this how you treat a friend who's come to visit you in the hospital?"

"What is this? An apple?"

"A gift for visiting someone in the sick. Lin Yan, who never catches a cold, is absent due to illness, so at least a gift should be brought. At this time, Liu Dong Yicheng was dressed as usual. He was wearing standard school uniform, had short purple hair, and wore round-framed glasses."

Ryudo Kazunari is more like a gentle and refined scholar, and his delicate appearance has always made him popular among the girls at Homurahara Academy.

Ryudong Ichisei is the second son of the Ryudong family, who have served as the abbots of Ryudong Temple for generations. He learns self-discipline in the frugal environment of the temple, where his elder brothers are both virtuous and talented. He is an earnest man who wants to live honestly in order to live up to his brothers' expectations, and he is also a handsome man.

Incidentally, Ichisei's father is also a muscular man, so Ichisei definitely looks like his mother.

However, after graduating from high school, he plans to inherit Ryudong Temple and become a monk, undergoing the training to become a monastic. As a child of Ryudong Temple, he may follow in his father's footsteps and become the abbot. According to him, his spiritual power is very weak, but he doesn't mind at all. He walks two hours to school every day, and his legs are as strong as those of a monk practicing in the mountains.

Ryudou Kazunari is portrayed as an ordinary student living a normal school life. There is indeed a sense of crisis that he lives in Ryudou Temple, which has been taken over by Caster. However, it's not a life-or-death crisis; it's just Nasu Kinoko's personal style of creating a sense of crisis that "an ordinary person has been dragged into this."

However, most people who get involved with the mysterious magicians end up tragically. Anyone who gets involved with magicians will die.

Since Shinji Matou has been designed by Kinoko Nasu to have the temperament of a genius, Issei is designed to have the temperament of a scholar.

"Can't we eat fruit?"

"No, I appreciate the thought."

"Lin Yan. Let me ask you something trivial. Who is the woman behind you?" Liu Dongyicheng looked at Saber, who was standing not far behind Lin Yan.

"For those who haven't seen this before, why would a woman like this be in Lin Yan's house?"

"Her name is Saber."

"I am a distant relative of Lin Yan. I was once taken care of by the owner of this house, Mr. Kiritsugu, when I was abroad. I came here for sightseeing a few days ago and stayed here because of fate."

"Is he someone your uncle knows? I heard he loves to travel. It's possible he knows someone like you." Ryudong Kazunari didn't suspect anything. "I see, I understand now. You used being sick as an excuse to take leave and then showed her the way, right?"

"Yeah, that's pretty much it."

"It's alright to bother you like this. I've already brought it all the way here, so please have a cup of tea as a thank you. Let's chat about what's been happening at school these past few days."

Liu Dong Yicheng was quite unceremonious; he had already taken off his shoes and entered the entrance hall.

"No thank-you gift needed. I'm very busy too. Let's chat next time."

"What are you talking about? You left your bicycle in front of my house, didn't you?"

"Oh right, I left my bicycle at Ryudong Temple."

"Right? I brought that over. I was so busy, I didn't even go to the student council, I went straight home and came here. Aren't you going to bring me a cup of tea?"

Seeing that Ryuudou Kazunari was truly impolite, Lin Yan turned to Saber and said, "I'll go prepare something. Saber, go to the living room with Kazunari. I'll make some tea. Kazunari prefers Japanese tea, and Saber prefers black tea, is that alright?"

"What? Me too? I don't think that's a good idea. With me around, it'll be impossible to have a relaxed conversation with my classmates." Saber asked Lin Yan, sounding rather reserved and puzzled.

"That's not true."

"Although girls can be noisy, it's fine with Miss Saber. A dignified woman is a cultural heritage. A dignified and elegant woman like Saber can easily leave a good impression on someone you meet for the first time. Moreover, although Ryudou Kazunari may seem unserious at times, he is actually a man of deep thought, enthusiasm, and gentlemanly manners, so of course he wouldn't fuss over such trivial matters."

"Right. Then you guys go ahead."

"Yes. I understand, but Lin Yan."

"What, is there anything else?"

"As for drinks, please give me green tea too. I want the kind from your hometown. I don't dislike green tea," Saber suddenly said to Lin Yan, seemingly very concerned about the matter.

Laoshan green tea is a classic and renowned variety of green tea, known for its mellow and pleasant aroma and fresh, unique flavor. To prepare it, use boiling water, uncover the cup, lift the kettle, and pour the water while simultaneously raising and lowering your wrist three times, creating a continuous, slow stream of water. This process is called "Phoenix Three Nods." When you pick up the teacup, first observe the color, then smell the aroma, and finally taste it. Remember to scrape the tea three times while tasting; the more you scrape, the more fragrant the tea becomes.

Scraping away the dust: Gently scrape away the floating tea leaves, and you'll taste the sweetness of the rock sugar after it has dissolved.

The aroma is wonderfully enhanced by the tea flavor and the flavors of the other ingredients, resulting in a sweet and delicious taste.

Scrape tea: The dew gives it a delicate fragrance, and the light-colored tea soup is soothing to the throat and quenches thirst.

After finishing their tea, Ryudong Ichisei was about to leave, which surprised Lin Yan. Ryudong Ichisei was actually quite introverted and didn't usually like complete strangers.

"Then I'll take my leave. Are you also asking for leave tomorrow, Lin Yan?"
