Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"That's true for my senior, but it means we'll argue for my brother. So, please be careful."

"Be careful? Be careful about Shenji?

"Yes. I heard that my brother considers the senior an enemy. And the reason he made the senior leave the club was also because of my brother."

"No, that's not it. My leaving the club has nothing to do with Shinji. No, maybe it's somewhat related, but Sakura doesn't need to worry about that. It's true, just like Shinji said, it's a bit awkward."

"Senior, it's a lot of fuss, but are you really not going to shoot arrows anymore? Fujimura-sensei also said that the injury is no longer a problem."

"What are you saying so casually! Fujii is the kind of person who would say it's no problem even if she had fractures all over her body, Sakura."

"Senior, I'm being very serious. I don't have time for club activities right now. Although I like archery, it's not a priority, and I think I'll put it off for the time being."

"Temporarily, how long?"

"I'll try it when I feel like it. But it should be before Sakura graduates. I look forward to working with you then, Sakura."

"Yes! I'll be waiting for that time, senior! It's almost 7:30 in the blink of an eye, and Sakura and Fujimura, who are going out for club activities, are about to head out again."

Good morning, Lin Yan. Lin Yan discovered it was Mei Zhui.

"What, Mizuki, haven't you changed your clothes yet? It's almost time for the tutor session. This isn't the time to greet me."

"Hahahaha! Oh, right, right. You're still such a ruthless guy, Lin Yan." Mei Zhui laughed loudly and heartily.

Ayako Mizuki is a second-year student in Class A at the private Homurahara Academy. She is the captain and leader of the school's archery club, and her famous saying is, "A beautiful woman can't do without martial arts." She is Sakura Matou's senior.

The meaning of her name, Mizuki, is "beautifully pieced together, ideally resembling a piece of fine silk fabric."

After entering his third year of high school, he handed over the positions of captain and club president of the archery club to his junior, Matou Sakura. He continued to help and advise Matou Sakura, acting as an advisor to the archery club.

She has a deep friendship with Fujimura Taiga and Matou Sakura in private, and is among the top three people in the school who should never be argued with. She is never late or absent, whether in her class or in the archery club.

"You didn't let slip any negative thoughts just now, did you?"

"That kind of thing won't leak out. It's just a matter of considering objective facts. But if it's not high, it's up to Mizuki."

"Well said! Not bad. It was an honest answer, but you didn't say what you were thinking. Lin Yan, you're different from Shinji; you have no flaws."

"Shinji? Why are you suddenly mentioning Shinji?"

"For no reason, you and Shinji are friends, aren't you? Shinji's only male friend is you, right? And although you've forgotten, I'm still the captain of the archery club. Don't you think it's natural to link the club's problems with the issue of quitting?"

"It really is natural. Although it has nothing to do with the archery club, I have a strange karmic connection with that guy."

"I'm annoyed. You suddenly became cold as soon as the archery club was mentioned, didn't you? You're such a big shot, leaving Shinji behind and then quickly leaving. You should have thought about how I or Sakura would feel if you hadn't stayed."

"What did Shinji do this time?"

"That guy never doesn't do something every day. But even so, yesterday's actions were too much. One of the first-year boys quit the club."

"What happened? Why did the members leave the commune?"

"Shinji got angry. He specially gathered the girls together and made the students who had just picked up bows shoot arrows at him, and kept mocking him until he hit the target."

"Aren't you going to deal with this stupid stuff?!"

"How could I not care! However, the commander has many things to do. He's not always at the dojo, Lin Yan, you know that, right?"

"That's true. But what is Shinji thinking? Even if he's sometimes stricter than necessary, he's not the kind of guy who would make fun of laymen."

"I'm terrified. Lin Yan, you really are that person."

"What did that mean? You didn't let slip any unpleasant thoughts, did you?"

"I was just thinking about the objective facts. Whether Lin Yan is happy or not is up to him."

"This guy is giving me answers that sound like I just heard them before. Oh well, what's wrong with Shinji? Why would he do something like that?"

"From what I've heard, it seems that Tosaka rejected him quite harshly or something."

"Tohsaka, is that Tohsaka?"

"Our school doesn't have any other Tohsaka besides that one. Rin Tohsaka, the top student in Class 2-A, Ms. Perfect."

"No, this is the first time I've heard that nickname."

"Anyway, Shinji has been like that since yesterday. Thanks to him, I've been able to keep an eye on the dojo until now."

"Shinji gets angry easily. Mitsuri, it's tough, but keep going."

"However, Shinji is someone who doesn't learn his lesson, right? If he goes to Tohsaka again and gets rejected, it'll be like he'll do something to Tohsaka this time."

"No, even Shinji wouldn't approach someone who rejects him. That guy is very firm about that."

"But there's nothing you can do when they get close, isn't there? Tohsaka, I don't know why you often come to visit the dojo. You left the club afterward, so I don't know."

Lin Yan couldn't find any record of this incident in Shirou's memories, meaning he was unaware of it before. If that's the case, Rin Tohsaka's refusal to participate in club activities must be related to that incident.

"Well, it's good that it happens occasionally. That guy is so arrogant, it might be a good thing if he gets into a bad situation once in a while. Should I say it's a pity, or an apology?"

"Mitsuzuri, no matter what, that's still..."

"It's almost time. Goodbye, Lin Yan. Come watch me shoot arrows next time." After saying this, Mei Zhui hurriedly left without looking back.

Lunch break.

Inside the restaurant.

"Lin Yan, can I have one of those fried chicken nuggets? There's an overwhelming lack of meat in my bento box."

"But why is your bento box so simple? Even a temple wouldn't have any rules against drinking or eating meat, would it?"

"What outdated stuff are you saying? This is just Dad's hobby. He said there's nothing extra for the little monk to waste, and if he's not happy about it, he should figure something out himself. I'm also thinking about whether I should just start cooking now."

"That uncle is indeed like that."

"By the way, Lin Yan. Did you know there was a commotion in 2-chome this morning? Right at the intersection where Lin Yan and I parted ways."

"Intersection?"

"It seems there was a murder. Although the details are unclear, it appears that only the child survived out of a family of four. The parents and the older sister were stabbed, but the murder weapon was not a kitchen knife or a short knife, but a long knife, which is unusual."

"Ichisei, regarding that matter, have you caught the culprit?"

"It seems they haven't caught them. The incident in Xindu was an accident caused by shoddy workmanship, while this one is a case of indiscriminate killing of passersby. It's understandable that the school would move up its curfew. What's wrong, Lin Yan? Is your food stuck in your throat?"

"It's nothing, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"It's because Lin Yan's expression was so serious that I was a little startled. Sorry, this isn't something I should be saying during a meal."

Just then, a knock sounded on the door of the quiet student council room.

"Excuse me, is Liu Dong here?"

"Is there something you need, teacher?" Kazunari and Kuzuki walked in. Kuzuki was Kuzuki Souichirou, the teacher of Class 2-A. Kuzuki Souichirou was a world history and social studies teacher at the private Homurahara Academy, and also served as the student council advisor and the homeroom teacher of Rin Tohsaka's class. He had no connection with Ryudouji Temple, but the abbot there liked him very much and let him stay at the temple.

He was originally a member of an assassination organization and had killed people in the past. Although he has now severed ties with the organization, he is still proficient in the assassination technique "Snake," which uses special trajectories to strike enemies.

He strengthens his fists through Caster's magic, and before his trajectory is revealed, he can hold his own against even Servants, making him a formidable opponent.

"Maybe it's the serious parts that we get along well."

Lin Yan turned and left without paying attention. Before he knew it, it was time for school to end. Instead of leaving the school immediately, he went to the archery range.

"Seriously, what am I doing?" Lin Yan still cared a lot about Rin Tohsaka, which was why he went to the archery dojo where Rin Tohsaka was. But then he felt a little annoyed. This kind of behavior didn't seem like something the mature and steady Lin Yan would do. So he muttered to himself with some regret, "Rin Tohsaka isn't here."

Who are you saying isn't here?

"I—I said who wasn't there? No, it's because of your suspicious behavior while watching the dojo that I said that. When you were talking to yourself just now, who was not there?"

"Who is it, Tohsaka? It seems she had a fight with Shinji. So I came to check on things."

"That's suspicious. You gave me an excuse even though I didn't ask you. I was just asking who wasn't there?"

"I can do whatever I want."

"That's true. But it's useless, Lin Yan. Tohsaka isn't here because that guy skipped school. Is it possible that he caught a cold? In my opinion, that guy is a bad person. You'll be easily fooled by appearances, Lin Yan. What, Lin Yan, are you going to pursue Tohsaka too? Well, sorry, just forget what I said earlier."

"I just... because it would be bad if Shinji got into a fight with her..." Lin Yan hadn't expected to be teased by a brat, and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. It was just a harmless joke; if he didn't have that much magnanimity, he wouldn't be Lin Yan.

"So, you're trying to stop Shinji from attacking Tohsaka? You're doing something thankless again. I don't care, but Lin Yan, your interests are really poor."

"Since you didn't do it, there's no reason for you to be disliked. But it's only one-tenth. Did you just say something strange?"

"Hmm? Is it because you have no interest in chasing Tohsaka?"

“Yes, isn’t Tohsaka very popular? I’ve never heard anything bad about that guy.”

"I've never heard of it, and that makes me even more disgusted." Ichigo, with a somewhat dismissive attitude, looked at another spot and continued, "What I find disgusting... is that everything. Those are female foxes, female demons, monsters—basically, physiologically speaking..."

I'm not used to it, I won't say anything carelessly, and Lin Yan shouldn't like her either.

"Yicheng, it's not good to talk badly about people behind their backs, isn't that your catchphrase?"

"Idiot! This isn't talking behind someone's back; I said it so others could hear. Since Lin Yan said so, I'll understand. However, I'm not trying to slander her. I was just saying that Ryudou Kazunari was on guard against Tohsaka Rin. It's just a matter of personal preference."

"However, it did mention monsters and female foxes and such."

"No, that's a compliment. There are good people among fox spirits and monsters too. I'm just using the ones that best represent Tohsaka's value." Kazunari laughed heartily at this point, his smile radiant.

"Then I'm leaving. I need to go back to the student council room. Lin Yan, you're going to work, right? You don't have time to wander around here." After saying that, Ichisei turned and left, as if all the unhappiness in his heart had been poured out. Lin Yan didn't understand the boy in front of him. Although he had Shirou's memories and had interacted with him many times in his memories, people's hearts are complicated.

Starting from the school, a 20-minute bus ride took me to Shinto, a neighboring town.

It's not even five o'clock yet.

This is the place where I used to work, as I remember it. Although Lin Yan doesn't care much about money, it's still necessary to be able to support himself, so he doesn't reject this job.

After finishing work, Lin Yan arrived near his home at eight o'clock. At the top of Qiandao, a figure flashed into Lin Yan's field of vision. It was a girl standing in the void, on a high tower, with the moon as bright as day in the background. This scene was just like a magician in a magical world.

The next second, the girl vanished into thin air.

Only the beautiful moonlight remains.

"That's Tohsaka. But Lin Yan didn't want to delve into the matter. They would have many more interactions in the future, but right now he just wanted to go home and sleep."

I opened the familiar door.

Enter the foyer.

"I'm back. Is it just Sister Teng?"

"Yes, Lin Yan, you're back." Fujimura was happily eating a pancake that looked delicious, while a lively variety show was playing on TV. She was laughing heartily at the show while eating the pancake, which was far from being a lady.

"Honestly, coming back at this time again. Because the sun sets early in winter, I told you to come back earlier, right?"

"I came back early. I chose a part-time job that ends at eight o'clock, so stop talking nonsense. What's wrong with Sakura? It looks like she only made dinner."

"Sakura went home early. She said she had something to do today and only came to cook dinner." Fujimura said with a beaming smile, seemingly very satisfied with Sakura's dinner, a typical foodie.

"Indeed, it might be better to leave it like that for now. It's quite dangerous lately, so I might as well cook dinner until the new semester starts."

"I object! Lin Yan didn't come back very late. If he cooks after that, we won't eat until after 10 o'clock."

"Don't you have the option of eating at your own home?"

"Because this is my home."

"Really, I know. Even if we ask Sister Teng to cook, it won't make a difference."

"Lin Yan, I'm hungry. Hurry up and prepare dinner."

"If Sister Teng has plates and bowls, at least she can serve rice, right?"

"Can I use a big bowl?"

"Okay, Sakura isn't here today either, so there will be leftovers anyway."

"Very good, very good, then you too."

The atmosphere at dinner was incredibly lively. In the past, Lin Yan would have chosen to be alone rather than enjoy this warm and normal family atmosphere. But the more he had witnessed the life, death, betrayal, and separation in the world, the more he could appreciate this kind of simple happiness.

Having such a carefree person by your side is like having a crackling bonfire in the dead of winter. It can't change the cold world, but it can warm a wandering, lonely heart and bring a moment of peace.

The night was as peaceful as ever, and the dream was as vivid as ever. In the dream, there was still an endless expanse of flame, the blazing flame burning everything.

Lin Yan opened his eyes at six o'clock in the morning.

The sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen; without even looking, I knew it was Matou Sakura preparing breakfast.

"Sakura, you're here early today too."

Fujimura had already taken his seat and saw Lin Yan staring at him as he asked a question.
