Every day, Jiang Jing's Weibo account is flooded with comic fans urging him to update, and he argues and fights with Toradora fans who claim that Shen Tian is focused on writing Toradora and has no time to update.

Although Jiang Jing hadn't logged into Weibo for a long time, his account was managed by Dengeki Bunko staff, so it didn't become a mess; instead, his followers increased by hundreds of thousands.

"Really?" Jiang Jing thought for a moment. It seemed that Kaguya Shinomiya had sent him a message about these things, but he had forgotten about it in the blink of an eye.

Then, as the saying goes, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."

Ding Dong!

Someone rang the doorbell.

"It's you, here to see Sorata again." Shiina Mashiro opened the door, tilting her head as she looked at Aisaka Taiga, who was wearing a tight-fitting outfit and carrying a bamboo sword, and the maid behind her with a wry smile and an apologetic expression.

"Yes, I'm going to defeat that guy and make him change the heroine's name as soon as possible," Taiga Aisaka said fiercely.

Thinking of all the stares she'd received lately, especially from that new student named Kawashima Ami who transferred to her class today—a woman just as detestable as those in novels—she was furious.

Chapter 236 Rin Tohsaka's Moral World Collapses: She's Become Used to the Death of So Many Relatives

"Shen Tian, ​​I've come to challenge you. I will definitely defeat you today."

After entering the house, Taiga Aisaka, who is about 1.4 meters tall, stood in the center of the living room and stared intently at Jiang Jing, who is over 1.8 meters tall and has a slender figure.

Mo Ming gives people a comical feeling of a child waving his fist at an adult.

"Oh, you've broken through. No wonder you're back again." Jiang Jing walked out from behind the kitchen counter with a spatula in his hand.

"But if you keep challenging me like this, I'll lose face. Don't I have time to spare?"

Jiang Jing smiled at Aisaka Taiga: "Last time I just treated it as a courtesy to you when we crashed. If you lose again this time, don't even mention changing your name anymore. How about that?"

Taiga Aisaka frowned, pondered for a moment about the speed and power of the last scene, and then nodded affirmatively, believing she was confident of victory.

"Okay, but you'd better change the name of your work. This time I've mastered a move that will definitely defeat you."

Jiang Jing nodded casually: "A secret weapon? Come on."

"Are you sure?" Aisaka Taiga frowned as she looked at Jiang Jing, who was wearing an apron and holding a spatula. She then became somewhat angry because Jiang Jing's demeanor clearly showed that he looked down on her.

Jiang Jing waved the ladle and urged, "Hurry up and start, I just put in the oil and it'll be hot soon."

"You... fine, don't blame me if you lose later," Taiga Aisaka said fiercely.

After speaking, Taiga Aisaka gripped her sword with both hands in a reverse grip, crouching slightly as if to draw her sword and slash. Instantly, her aura changed, radiating a ferocious aura like a saber-toothed tiger poised to pounce, exuding an astonishingly oppressive presence.

Her sharp gaze locked onto the figure three meters away. Taiga Aisaka channeled her sword energy, and in an instant, her feet shook and she leaped into the air...

Just as Feng Banhe unleashed the ultimate move she had been practicing diligently for some time, preparing to decide the outcome with a single blow, Jiang Jing stepped out of her sight as she rose to the ground.

It seemed to move very slowly, but in the blink of an eye, it appeared before her with a strange sense of disorientation, as if it were slow but actually fast, and a ladle hit her on the head.

Bang! !

"Ah...it hurts..." Feng Ban Dahe threw down his bamboo knife, immediately squatted down with a crying face, covered his head, and looked at Jiang Jing in disbelief with teary eyes.

Jiang Jing didn't hold back this time, so Taiga Aisaka not only had a terrible headache, but the sword energy she had just gathered in her body was also dispersed by Jiang Jing, leaving her feeling weak and powerless.

Looking at the doll squatting on the ground, Jiang Jing shrugged: "Alright, you lost."

"Hey, Little Taiga, you're here to play? What's going on?" Just then, Misaki Kamiigusa appeared in the stairwell, having heard the commotion below and curiously come down to see what was happening.

Misaki Kamiigusa is very interested in this girl who is almost 90% similar to the character in Jiang Jing's novel, Toradora!, and they had a good chat last time.

"Aisaka came to challenge Sorata, but Sorata beat her so badly she cried." Shiina Mashiro explained from the side, and looked at Aisaka Taiga's head as if she also wanted to try.

"What? You actually went after such a cute girl, junior? But it does seem to be your style." Misaki Kamiigusa was surprised at first, then nodded.

"Miss, are you alright?" Haruko Tanashita stepped forward anxiously.

"It's...nothing..." Taiga Aisaka sniffed and stood up.

With Misaki Kamiigusa and Nanami Aoyama, who came down behind and looked at Taiga Aisaka with surprise, trying to persuade her to stay.

So, the two girls, who were initially shocked by Jiang Jing's strength and were about to leave with a look of frustration, were half-heartedly persuaded to stay and enjoyed another delicious meal that they could never forget after eating it last time.

After dinner, everyone took showers or drew pictures. Jiang Jing turned off the lights around 11 p.m., went to bed, and cuddled Shiina Mashiro, who had snuggled into his arms, to sleep.

……

Inside the pristine white church, Rin Tohsaka, dressed in her winter elementary school uniform, with her hair in pigtails and wearing thick black stockings, sat on a bench with her knees drawn up to her chest, staring blankly at the white floor in front of her.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting when Jiang Jing's previously illusory figure suddenly became real. After appearing, Jiang Jing waved his hand to summon the projection and casually said...

"What's wrong? You look so listless, unlike the Rin Tohsaka I know who was full of fighting spirit to maintain the family business."

Then, glancing at the broken thread entwined around Rin Tohsaka's fate line, Jiang Jing said nonchalantly, "Oh, so it was your mother who died."

"How did you know, senpai?" Rin Tohsaka turned her head, her eyes flickering across her expressionless face.

Jiang Jing didn't answer, but asked curiously, "Strange, didn't you say you used demonic energy to cleanse your mother's marrow? How come she died? Was she assassinated?"

Rin Tohsaka's eyes darkened, then she shook her head and buried her face in her knees. After a while, she said in a muffled voice, "The doctor said that Mom was fine physically, but she died from exhaustion due to missing Father too much."

Jiang Jing nodded: "Is that so? She misses her deceased husband so much that even though she has an eight-year-old daughter to take care of, she can't muster the desire to live."

"So now you're really all alone, is that okay?"

After saying that, before Rin Tohsaka could speak, Jiang Jing shrugged again: "But even if you say you feel lonely, there's nothing I can do. The flow rates of the two worlds are too different. It takes me two or three months to get here each time."

"So saying things like 'I'm not used to it, can you come over and chat with me more often?' won't help."

"Senior, is that how you comfort someone?" Rin Tohsaka looked up at Jiang Jing with a speechless expression.

Jiang Jing leaned back lazily in the chair: "Comforting people? I don't think I've ever done that before. You're going to be disappointed if you want me to comfort you."

"Hmph! I can tell even without you saying it, senpai. You're just a hopeless straight man, the kind who'll be single forever," Rin Tohsaka snorted irritably.

"Oh, so young and already knows what a straight man is, what a pity."

Jiang Jing shrugged: "Unfortunately, I have a bunch of beautiful women around me who want to be my women. Your prediction is probably wrong. Sometimes being too outstanding can be a problem."

Looking at Jiang Jing's lonely and desolate face, Rin Tohsaka flicked her twin tails and said disdainfully, "Tch, senpai, you're just pretending. I don't believe you."

"Hehe... Whether you believe it or not is not important, what's important is that I believe it." Jiang Jing teased the little girl with pigtails with a smile.

Rin Tohsaka gave a haughty snort and pointed out, "Senpai, I've noticed you're very shameless. You have no gentlemanly manners at all. Girls won't like that."

"Uh... I don't rely on my looks to make a living, I rely on my talent." Jiang Jing shrugged.

“Talent…” Rin Tohsaka looked at Jiang Jing with a suspicious expression.

Jiang Jing smiled and said, "Of course, I'm a bestselling novelist. My novels have sold millions of copies, and I also have the title of cartoonist."

"And it won't be long before the animation I'm in charge of airs, I should also have the title of animation director. Surprised? Admirable?"

"Huh?" Rin Tohsaka, who had expected Jiang Jing to say that he was very strong and that he got ahead because of his strength, was stunned.

"Senior, you're not joking?" Rin Tohsaka looked at Jiang Jing suspiciously.

Jiang Jing said firmly, "Why would I lie to you? My current job is a high school student and novelist."

"But you're so strong, and you even said you were some kind of world-destroying demon god. Although I know that's fake, novelist... no, senior, you're still in high school!"

Suddenly, Rin Tohsaka looked at Jiang Jing in disbelief.

Jiang Jing looked at the bewildered Rin Tohsaka with a strange expression. "Didn't I tell you I'm not that old and that you shouldn't call me uncle? Besides, I was only seventeen in that world, and I was in high school. Is that so strange?"

"As for the work of the Great Demon God of Destruction, I am also doing it, but it is my side job. Why would I destroy the world when I have nothing else to do?"

After saying that, Jiang Jing shrugged: "Actually, I love peace very much, and I'm very busy. Now, after school every day, I have to write novels and draw comics, and I'm also responsible for the three meals a day at Sakura Dormitory."

"This...this..." Rin Tohsaka stared in shock at Jiang Jing, who spoke these words as if it were the most natural thing in the world, her worldview completely turned upside down.

In Rin Tohsaka's heart, Jiang Jing, the one whose traces had been erased by the world but whose wooden sword protected her and who taught her the powerful Asura Demon Sword cultivation technique, was mysterious, powerful, and had a very high-class image. He was a reliable senior.

Even when Jiang Jing earnestly told her that he was a great demon god who specialized in destroying the world, Rin Tohsaka didn't believe him. She just took it as a joke from her very warm and reliable senior.

But when Jiang Jing earnestly told him that he was only seventeen years old, still in high school, and that his main job was writing novels and drawing comics, and that he was a bestselling author, he was completely stunned.

Jiang Jing grabbed Rin Tohsaka's ponytail and shook it to wake her up, then smiled and said, "How about it? Aren't you a big fan of me, senior? Do you want me to sign your autograph? My autograph seems to be quite valuable."

"Senpai, I'm definitely not awake yet," Rin Tohsaka said earnestly, then buried her face in her knees, wanting to go back to dreaming.

Jiang Jing reached out and tapped Rin Tohsaka on the head: "Stop dreaming. Did you tell Sakura that your mother died?"

"Senior, my mother is dead. When you say this in front of me, the person directly involved, could you please consider my feelings a little? Don't be so casual with your tone." Rin Tohsaka raised her head and said irritably.

"So what? It's just someone dying. You'll get used to it after a while," Jiang Jing said nonchalantly.

"So normal that you can be this casual even when a loved one dies." Rin Tohsaka rolled her eyes, but she wasn't as sad and depressed as she was arguing with Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing nodded casually and said, "Sure."

Back then, in that powerful cultivation world, he built a harem of thousands of women and collected peerless beauties from all over the world. Although these women did not leave a deep mark on Jiang Jing's heart, each of them accompanied him for at least several hundred years, and some for over a thousand years.

Unfortunately, even with Jiang Jing's protection, they all died in front of him in that dangerous place, lacking both talent and opportunity.

Although his mind had turned to darkness at that time, it was not twisted. The extreme darkness made his desires even more extreme, and at the same time made him yearn for certain beautiful things even more.

Moreover, he still possessed a sliver of humanity at that time. Those women had been with him for so many years; even without love, something else would remain.

So after that incident, Jiang Jing never started another harem, and he no longer took in women when he traveled to other worlds to infiltrate or lead nightmares to devour and destroy the world.

Chapter 237 Matou Sakura: I Just Want to Seize the Moment Before Me

"Uh...you think this is the kitchen?"

When Jiang Jing arrived at Matou Sakura's place, he was speechless as he saw the small church space, which had been transformed by the removal of the benches and the placement of various kitchen utensils, stoves, tables, and chairs.

In the center of the small space, Matou Sakura, who is now seven years old after more than half a year, is about the same age as Tohsaka Rin in front of her. She sits quietly in front of a table with a simple home-cooked meal, lost in thought.

Unlike her usual pleasant surprise at seeing the river view, Matou Sakura looked up today, somewhat bewildered: "Senpai, do you think Sakura is a bad child?"

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Jing asked curiously, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

The little girl looked at the river view across from her and said softly, "Because when I learned that the woman from the Tohsaka family had died, I didn't feel sad at all, and I felt very calm."

"Oh."

Jiang Jing gave a nonchalant "oh," then picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of a piece of grilled fish, and nodded, "Hmm, the taste is much better than last time. I didn't expect you to have a talent for cooking, Xiaoying."
