Chapter 163 When did you get together with my sister?

Emiya tried to play it safe, but failed. The conversation turned to a direction he didn't want - everyone started chatting about various things related to Emiya.

"Oh my god, where did you get such abnormal strength? It's too abnormal!"

As soon as Miss Charlotte opened her mouth, Emiya couldn't even tell whether she was scolding or praising someone.

"If I were as skilled as you, I would definitely hang my grandfather up and beat him up!"

It tastes just right. This familiar taste is just right.

At least Shirou can see that the eldest daughter has not changed. She is still the filial daughter who has deep resentment towards the parents who push their children too hard.

"Don't even mention the level of a God Slayer. If it were me, I would only have 30% of that level. 30% is enough for me to hang that stud dad up and beat him up."

The Governor of Gaul sent a "hehe" yellow bean smiley face, and then Charlotte followed suit. I always feel that there is a sense of "filial piety leads to strength" in his words.

Emiya thought, my God, don't you have a normal family? Forget about happiness and harmony, at least try to protect your relatives! Why do you always want "fathers to be kind and sons to be filial"?
His fingers were hovering over the keyboard keys, and just as he was about to type the next line of complaints, Emiya changed his mind and realized something was wrong.

It seems that few people in his circle of friends come from normal families.

Nono... The Chen family is gone, leaving an orphan... Melyuchina, not a human, skip... Old Tang... An orphan in Brooklyn.

Xia Mi...seems to have both parents and an elder brother with mental retardation, but she has to work at such a young age to support her family, which is quite abstract.

Eri...well, her family is a very normal super family, but she herself still seems very abnormal because of her special environment and treatment.

As for the Su Enxi trio, their family situations were unclear, but Emiya himself was an orphan anyway.

"Well, it turns out that everyone's family environment is not normal. That's fine."

So everyone tacitly shifted the topic away from this weird topic involving parents and discussed the hottest topic of the past few days, the Holy Grail War.

Emiya typed out a line of words briefly, "Are you all participating?"

"Participate, you must participate!" Charlotte's words could not hide her excitement, as if she was a little kid who loved to fantasize all day long and was about to step into a battle to save the world by driving a Gundam or transforming into a Kamen Rider. She was not nervous at all, and her expression of excitement almost overflowed.

"Take the Holy Grail, become the winner, and become famous throughout the world!"

Miss Charlotte seems to have no interest in the wish-making function of the Holy Grail, nor does she need to rely on the power of the Holy Grail to fulfill her wish of defeating her grandfather. What she wants more is the title of winner, so that she may be able to surpass Emiya, whom she has always regarded as her rival!

The Governor of Gaul had a similar attitude towards the Holy Grail. He showed little interest and did not even plan to come. It might be that this noble young man had no shortage of food, clothing, or daily necessities, and had a top quality of life, so he did not worry about anything, so he did not care much about the Holy Grail.

"I'm not really interested. I don't think there's anything I want to achieve with the Holy Grail... By the way, can it revive the dead? Those who have been dead for a long time?"

"That's impossible. If that could really happen, it would be like magic!"

Even an alchemist like Charlotte uttered the word magic, because she really felt that being able to revive a dead person was extremely magical.

Then she added, "...unless we can go back in time!"

Because the Seven Kingdoms of Alchemy do have a "time reversal", but this thing is almost the most mysterious among the Seven Kingdoms. She even doubts whether anyone in the former dragon race can really do it...

For example, the Black King? But if the Black King could do it, why didn't he still end up being killed?

"And even if we complete the time reversal, the effect will only be close to resurrection, not true resurrection. Besides, the Holy Grail cannot perform this kind of magic." Emiya also added immediately.

He knew about the legendary fifth method, also known as the "Retrograde Canal", which was used by Aozaki Aoko to resurrect Shizuki Soujuro in "Magical Night". Moreover, Aozaki Aoko's operation was to throw the fact of "Soujuro's death" into the distant future, completing a disguised resurrection through time manipulation.

As for the Holy Grail, although it is a product of the Third Law, the Third Law only puts the soul of the dead back into the body to achieve "incomplete resurrection". If it is already cold, then the Third Law is useless.

"Is that so? Forget it then. I have something to do so I'll log off first." The Governor of Gaul seemed to be in a bad mood after hearing the news and simply left in a hurry.

"So, why did the Great God-Slayer Hero ask us this question?"

Emiya answered Charlotte casually, "I just asked because I live nearby."

"Wow, what? Are you planning to confront me offline?" Charlotte was unexpectedly flustered. The confidence she had when she was bragging and mocking me online seemed to have been drained away. She seemed to be brave on the surface, but in fact she was timid, fearing that she would be beaten up offline. Then she said, as if she was forcing herself to do it, "Hey, I'm telling you! When I get my holy relics and summon my own powerful servants, you will know how unimaginable the price you have to pay for repeatedly underestimating me will be!"

Emiya was puzzled. He felt that he was a very kind person. What on earth was the little girl opposite him thinking about all day?
"My attitude is fine. When have I ever looked down on you? Although I feel that you are indeed quite young..."

Frog fun, oh no, I feel like this sentence really hit the other party’s sore spot!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

While Charlotte was instantly defeated and before she could start to rant and rave, Emiya quickly clicked the mouse, closed the chat software and logged off at the speed of light. Anyway, even if Charlotte really came, he was not afraid of the real person offline.

Shirou turned off his computer and opened his phone out of habit, the first thing he saw was a message.

"Gen Chisei wants to become the Master?"

----

Although it is said that the new headquarters building of Genji Heavy Industries has not yet been completed, the old headquarters building that is still in use is still impressive and stands out among the elegant gray buildings.

The person who came out to greet them was a familiar face that Emiya had seen before, Nanami Sakurai, who was wearing a black suit.

"I thought I would see a scene like the last time at the Sword Museum, with men in black lining the streets to welcome us." Emiya glanced at the skyscrapers standing tall and then looked away.

"I'm sorry, the family arranged to clear the area last time, but the headquarters is located in a busy area of Tokyo, and there are many residents nearby."

Nanami Sakurai personally led Emiya into the hall. "The new headquarters building is still under construction, and it is being implemented by Maruyama Construction. Due to the recent increase in manpower, the speed of progress will be accelerated, and the preliminary completion acceptance of the project will surely be completed within two months."

"At that time, all the configurations of the headquarters will be transferred to the new building, and the old building here will be handed over to our Kanto branch. If Mr. Emiya wants to experience that kind of 'gangster pomp', we can set up the new headquarters building in advance next time."

"...That's not necessary, I'm just asking casually."

Emiya followed him through the hall in a hurry. The sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps could be heard everywhere. Employees were walking back and forth with documents in their arms. The sound of the elevator arriving and the faint smell of perfume seemed to be completely the configuration of an ordinary business center building...

Nanami Sakurai added at the right time, "These employees are an important part of managing the family business, but their authority is very low. They are far from qualified to sit on the same level as people at the head of the family, and they cannot know some important secrets. Please forgive me, Mr. Emiya."

"It's okay, so our destination doesn't seem to be here, right? Where should I go to meet Yuan Zhisheng? Shall we go upstairs?"

"That's right, Young Master and all the family heads are here to welcome you."

The elevator went all the way up to the top floor, and when Emiya stepped out of the elevator, he saw Minamoto Chisei who came up to greet him... and there were a bunch of people around him, who must be the heads of various branch families.

Then Nanami Sakurai bowed and moved back to the crowd. Gennochi took over and continued to explain on behalf of Emiya, "Emiya, come in with me and take a seat. I think I haven't introduced the details of the family yet. In fact, the 'Eight Family Heads' were supposed to be present today."

"The five outer families are the Inuyama family, the Fuma family, the Miyamoto family, the Ryoma family, and the Sakurai family, which you have already met. However, the head of the Miyamoto family is busy with trivial matters, so I am afraid he cannot come today."

"Fuma?" Emiya looked at the old man in black kimono who was sitting at the round stone table. His hair was white but his eyes were sharp and intimidating. "What is his relationship with Fuma Kotaro who lived hundreds of years ago?"

"That's right. He is the direct descendant of the 'King of Ninja'. The heads of the Fuma family from generation to generation are all named 'Fuma Kotaro'," Yuan Zhisheng led him to the other side of the stone table.

"I see. So, your previous family is not just one, but three?"

"Yes, the inner three families are my Minamoto family, my sister Erii's Uesugi family, and my adoptive father Tachibana Masamune. They have been allies and relatives since ancient times. Although the heads of the eight families are related by marriage, only the people of the inner three families have noble bloodlines and are qualified to be leaders... But Mr. Masamune is not here today, so I will lead the meeting instead."

Gen Chisei knocked on the door next door. "Eri, I went to call her earlier. She should need some time to change her clothes—"

Wow!

The Japanese-style sliding door was quickly opened, and "Eri" walked into the meeting room wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume and wooden clogs.

On the delicate and indifferent face, a pair of beautiful eyes turned around and looked around, and without waiting for Gen Chisei's instructions, she sat down next to Emiya.

Yuan Zhisheng:?
