It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 361 Have you mastered the second magic?

The cracks in the mansion have been quietly healed.

Only subtle changes in the layout remain as a faint aftertaste of the storm.

Otherwise, Miss Toosaka probably wouldn't dare to invite her friends to her home easily.

The most gratifying thing is that the restoration work does not require any money, which gives her already struggling finances a rare respite.

Classmate Meizhu didn't notice anything at all, and she didn't even know that this western-style house had gone through such a turbulent time some time ago.

It was as if she had never thought that her classmate friend was actually a magician in secret, and had recently taken time out to have a life-and-death contest with him that risked his life and honor.

Especially at this time.

Her whole attention was already on something else.

——That is to observe carefully, pay close attention, and see clearly what Senior Xia Zhi will do next.

After all, the devil is in the details. She only needs to see if the other party's attitude is still so natural...

Well, the answer is of course yes.

Because when Xia Zhi returned to the mansion, it was like going home.

I can’t say how familiar I am with him, but I definitely know him much better than Meizhui.

"no……"

"Why are you so skilled!?"

"How many times have you been here?!"

Meizhu's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she was obviously shocked by the scene before her.

Her beautiful eyes were wide open, full of confusion and puzzlement, and her tone revealed incredible astonishment.

Because the young man picked up the teacup very naturally and placed it gently on the table in front of him... She had just sat down on the sofa and was about to observe carefully!

I won’t talk about the calmness.

Every movement of the other party clearly revealed his familiarity and deep understanding of this place.

As a result, Ayako Mizutsugi was unable to react immediately, and it took her several seconds to suddenly understand what was happening.

For a while.

Staring at the steaming cup of tea in front of her, she suddenly felt a little dazed.

Miss Mizue had a strange illusion, feeling that she was not visiting the Tousaka family, but was visiting the home of this senior Xiazhi.

Seeing this scene, Miss Toosaka actually twitched the corners of her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

When her friends looked at her with surprise and disbelief, she could only force herself to remain calm and pretend to be normal and natural.

——Anyway, I’ve been misunderstood…

——At this point, it’s useless to explain anything. Meizhui will probably think that I’m covering up, so I might as well be more assertive…

This is probably the mentality that Rin tried to convince herself.

"Well, um, Senior, let me do it... I can do it..."

Ying also reacted at this time, and hurried forward to take the tea set, looking very embarrassed.

No matter what, the Holy Grail War is over now.

Senior is no longer my sister's servant.

This should be done like we did to senior sister Meizhu, we should treat her well. How can we ask him to help entertain senior sister Meizhu?

As Sakura became busy, the atmosphere in the mansion became subtle and warm.

But overall it is much more natural.

"You're really something, Toosaka... You're not being honest at all. You didn't tell me the truth at all."

Miss Mizue, who was sitting on the sofa, took a small sip of tea, put down the cup and took a deep breath, then turned her head to look at Miss Toosaka.

"What, what are you talking about?..."

The black-haired girl with twin ponytails had a tense face. She glanced at the opposite side subconsciously and became visibly nervous.

Even though I was still madly convincing myself in my heart.

However, discussing this topic directly with her best friend was still beyond Ms. Toosaka's psychological endurance.

Especially when someone is sitting opposite her and talking to Sakura, and may hear it.

No, no! I still can’t do it.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I understand..."

After all, Meizhu was very perceptive and careful, and she seemed to have noticed something, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

She looked at the black-haired girl with twin ponytails, then looked at the young man opposite her, and nodded as if she understood.

Then, this classmate, Mizue, considerately turned the conversation to what happened in school today, no longer trying to continue the previous topic, and winked at Toosaka.

no--

So you know what -

At this moment, the corners of Miss Toosaka's mouth twitched slightly.

Her feeling was truly very subtle, and it was also difficult to describe this unprecedented experience.

He seemed embarrassed, ashamed, yet subconsciously he forced himself to be tense and pretend to be natural, as if he didn't know anything was wrong.

But the more this happened, the more she could feel that strange feeling.

It was like some kind of hint, or a reminder from the environment, and it was happening all the time...

You need to make a deeper impression on her about this matter, make her clearly aware of the existence of something and know that it is special to her.

But the girl herself didn't realize it.

She just felt that it was such a coincidence, or perhaps it was too coincidental that her best friend happened to run into her today, leading to such an embarrassing situation.

however.

Whether it is really a coincidence or not, only God knows.

------

After all, I'm just a guest.

So Meizhui didn't stay long, but stood up and prepared to leave when it was getting dark. "Be careful on the road..."

Miss Toosaka breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she still maintained a polite smile on the surface and waved goodbye to her friend while standing outside the door.

"Hmm, don't worry, I'll pay attention..."

Mizutsu Ayako responded with a smile.

Then, she quickly glanced at the mansion and hesitated a little: "Um, Senior Xia Zhi, are you going to stay here tonight?"

"How can it be!!"

Toosaka Rin immediately and decisively shook her head vigorously, her attitude was very clear.

After all, no matter what, the answer to Meizhui must be no, which is the only correct choice.

"That's good. I thought..."

Mizue Ayako patted her chest lightly, and then she didn't say anything else, but laughed herself.

After thinking about it for a while, she tentatively asked, "By the way, when did you two meet? Why haven't I heard you mention it before..."

"This one……"

Rin couldn't help but hesitate about this: "There are actually very complicated reasons for this..."

——How do I say this?

——Actually, we just met more than a month ago?
——And if we calculate the total time from beginning to end, should we count it by days?

"Does this have to be kept secret?" Mizue Ayako sighed, "We agreed to be frank, and we even made a bet about this..."

"By the way, since you two aren't in that kind of relationship right now, then you can't be considered the winner, Toosaka."

Suddenly remembering this, she added with a smile.

"Tsk, if it doesn't count, then it doesn't count..."

Lin muttered, thinking that it would be good if he could change the subject at this time, and he didn't have time to compete with the other party.

"Then I'll leave first."

Classmate Meizhu didn't say anything else. She waved her hand, turned around and walked away along the street in a very casual manner.

She originally wanted to ask about Sakura's situation, but then she changed her mind and felt that it shouldn't be necessary, and besides, Toosaka would definitely have thought of it herself.

"..."

"..."

I watched my friend's back gradually go away and disappear at the end of the dim street.

Toosaka Rin then let out a long breath, and the exhaled air, still carrying the chill of winter, formed a faint white mist.

She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles during this short hour.

Not to say that I was physically and mentally exhausted, but I was basically exhausted mentally and physically.

But fortunately, I finally made it through...

Miss Toosaka turned around and walked back into the mansion. As she reached the door, she saw the young man saying something to Sakura inside and he had just let go of the latter's wrist.

"..."

Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with this scene before, her mood and emotion are different now, so the girl has a different view.

She watched patiently until Sakura walked into the kitchen before she stepped over.

"Is there something going on?" Miss Toosaka came to Xiazhi's side, looked at her sister who was busy in the kitchen skillfully, and asked softly.

There was obviously a hint of worry in his tone.

The only thing she could think of regarding Sakura's situation was the erosion of the power of the Holy Grail in the past. Could something have gone wrong again?
"You've also discovered that she knows me and has an impression of me..."

Xia Zhi nodded: "This doesn't make sense, so it can only be loose. I was just trying to help her consolidate her memory."

"That's it..."

Toosaka Rin bit her lip and looked towards the kitchen for a long time.

Then, she took a deep breath, turned to look at Xia Zhi and whispered, "Maybe... I mean, maybe we did something wrong, or let Ying herself..."

"will not."

The young man interrupted the girl and shook his head as she stared at him in silence.

"Pain is pain. Pain has no meaning. No one stipulates that people must choose pain. That is definitely not a correct rule..."

"Besides, Sakura has actually made her choice. It's just that she once became the incarnation of the power of the Holy Grail, and her personality has almost disappeared, so she is resistant to interference from the power that also belongs to the Holy Grail..."

He spread his hands and said, "So there's nothing wrong with it. I've just solved the problem."

"..."

"..."

"Okay, okay..." Miss Toosaka was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly as if she accepted what was said.

"Oh, there's one more thing. I didn't have time to ask you just now..."

"How did you come back?"

The black-haired girl with twin ponytails asked directly, "Could it be that... somewhere, there is another Holy Grail War and Heroic Spirits are being summoned?"

So that's why I called this guy by coincidence?

Let him come from the Seat of Heroes again and enter this world?

"No, I returned to this world with my own will."

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, then said meaningfully: "Before this, I have already jumped back and forth between many different world lines."

"Eh?"

Miss Toosaka was stunned for a moment.

Then, it took her two or three seconds to seem to understand what this guy was talking about.

The next moment, her eyes widened with an incredible look:
"wait wait wait--"

"You mean, you mastered the second magic? Interference with parallel worlds?"
