The Otherworld Card Collector

But now is not the time to enjoy this daily routine.

Shirou Matou's ambition does not allow him to stop there.

As for the school, Shirou Matou greeted the dean of studies, and as long as he could still rank seventh in the grade in the final exams, the school also allowed him to control his own school schedule.

So it doesn’t matter whether I go to school today or not.

However, the school would not make this kind of thing known to everyone, so except for the school’s top management and some teachers, no one else, including the vast majority of students, knew about it.

And Shirou Matou was not as mean as he told others.

So Guangliu Lingxia didn't know about this, and she even called her specially.

"Brother, I'm sorry I can't make you a lunch box tomorrow."

Actually, I'm not going to school tomorrow.

Shirou Matou will go to Jigen Shrine tomorrow to discuss cooperation with Chisa Kanhara's father.

After all, Chisa Kanhara is only the first heir, and her father is the real head of Jigen Shrine.

After she agreed, she still had to tell her father.

Her father was a little curious about Shirou Matou, so he wanted to meet him.

But then again.

"What do you have to do tomorrow?"

Shirou Matou spoke only out of concern for his neighbor's sister.

Guangliu Lingxia answered without reservation.

"I'm staying at Ellie's house tonight, Onii-sama."

Ellie?

Oh, Akizuki Airi.

The image of the tsundere blonde with twin ponytails appeared in Shirou Matou's mind.

Then I thought of another thing.

When Tajiri and Amemiya were chatting with him, they mentioned that Akizuki Airi's stepfather, Akizuki Kozo, is also a senior researcher in the field of hormones.

He is currently teaching at Jiabei University.

None of this matters, what matters is;

"Akizuki Kozo happened to develop a drug to treat sheep wilt, but he lacked people to test it."

"And to complement his new drug, that guy also developed a hormone-based O-stimulating drug."

"It is said that the reason he is so eager to find test subjects is because he broke his thing during a previous experiment and now he desperately needs to stimulate a reaction."

"Yes, I think he suddenly married a widow. I'm afraid he must have some hidden secret."

These are just the fragments of information revealed when Amemiya and Tajiri were chatting.

Sure enough, no matter what profession they are in, women cannot escape the situation of gossiping with each other when they are together.

However, it was precisely because of these gossips that Shirou Matou couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"Akizuki Kozo, you'd better not play any tricks on me."

Thinking of this, Shirou Matou prepared to ask Guangliu Lingxia some questions without leaving any trace.

..

Chapter 145 Madam, you are so smooth~

"Oh yeah, have fun."

Matou Shirou was the first to give the outline.

No matter how concise his words were, Guang Liu Lingxia was really happy when she heard them.

After all, my brother cares about him.

It was at this time that Shirou Matou spoke again.

"But no matter how much you play, don't get carried away."

"Ok?"

"I've passed the midterm exam, but there's still the final exam, and even more of the college entrance exam ahead."

These words made Guang Liulingxia's heart skip a beat.

She suddenly realized something, but even if she did, she couldn't hang up the phone.

After all, the person on the other side of the phone is your brother.

So she listened attentively.

Matou Shirou slowly stated a fact.

"Your grades have declined in this midterm exam."

"It doesn't count."

Guangliu Lingxia wanted to be tough.

"Admittedly, you ranked 100th in the school last monthly exam, but this time you're only 105th. From a correct perspective, this can be considered a reasonable fluctuation."

“Right, right!”

Guangliu Lingxia's tone became lighter.

"But I, and you, shouldn't demand that you maintain a consistent level of performance, but strive to move forward, right?"

Guang Liu Ling Xia fell silent.

Study hard and make progress every day, this is what she said to Shirou Matou in person.

The reason was simply that Shirou Matou always ranked seventh in the school, which made Mitsuru Suzuka a little envious and also a little bit inferior.

You know, most of the students' low self-esteem is very simple.

Guangliu Lingxia felt that she always ranked around 100th in the exams, and was not worthy of Matou Shirou.

Admittedly, the two are not in the same school, but judging by the deviation value, the school that Shirou Matou is in is much better than hers!

Her score of 150th place would only be worth if converted to Shirou Matou's school.

This is awkward.

Guangliu Lingxia didn't know what to say for a moment.

There's nothing wrong with being lazy, but if you're discovered while slacking off, you won't be able to keep your word.

Guangliu Lingxia is a little bit tsundere, but she is not the type to make unreasonable demands.

She couldn't be stubborn, so she became depressed.

"I'm sorry, Brother-sama."

Guangliu Lingxia felt that she had somewhat violated Shirou Matou's earnest expectations.

In fact, Shirou Matou didn't have such sentimental emotions. He just gave advice in a normal tone.

"It's okay to play."

"After all, not everyone is as quick to learn as I am, so studying is naturally stressful. When you have pressure, you should release it. It's better to release it than to hold it back, otherwise you will hurt yourself."

Hey, my dear brother, why do you sound so arrogant when you say this?

But that's normal. After all, in my brother's eyes, studying is as easy as drinking water and eating.

Guangliu Lingxia didn't think much about it, so she asked tentatively.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"I mean, you can have fun, but you can't get carried away with it."

in other words;

"Remember to focus. You've been playing a little too much these past few days. Your mother called and asked me to give you a lecture."

Sure enough!

Guang Liu Lingxia knew that this was the case.

Otherwise, why would my brother suddenly bring up the issue of grades?

So she quickly promised.

"I'll put my mind back on studying!"

If Guang Liulingxia's parents heard this, they would be so helpless.

You don't listen to what we say, but you take seriously what Shirou Matou from next door said casually.

Wow, who are your parents?

However, in reality, Guangliu Lingxia's parents did not ask Matou Shirou for help at all.

Shirou Matou took the initiative to ask Mitsuru Suzuka's parents about her midterm results.

As for the 'fall' after the exam, that was because Matou Shirou knew Mitsuru Suzuka well enough that he didn't need to gather information from other people.

"What about tonight?"

"I'll tell Ellie I'm not going. I need to review my lessons at home!"

Very perseverant, though;

"Did I tell you not to go tonight?"

Ah, isn’t it?

Guangliu Lingxia tilted her head. She felt that the tone of Matou Shirou's words was to let her focus on studying and not do those meaningless things.

It was at this time that Matou Shirou continued.

"It's the weekend, it's okay to have some fun."

Matou Shirou spoke like this.

"But I want to go with you."

"what?!"

"My uncle and aunt asked me to take you back, but after thinking about it, I decided that it wouldn't be okay for you to stay overnight at Akizuki Aili's house. However, I can stay with you until ten o'clock in the evening and then take you home."

It was ten o'clock in the evening and it was dark.

The subtext of Shirou Matou's words is that he is worried about you walking home alone so late.

Hey hey~

It's really nice to be able to go home with my brother.

But what about my purpose of going to Aili’s house?

Guangliu Lingxia frowned. She did not forget that she went to find the Akizuki sisters in order to find a way to keep Matou Shirou's heart.

How could they discuss this with the person involved present?!

Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

Guangliu Lingxia was a little confused.

"It's not that bad at night. It's not safe for you to walk alone at night."

"When the time comes, you can have your girls' gathering, and I'll just watch TV in the living room or something."

Great!

Guang Liu Lingxia immediately stopped worrying.

"Okay, Brother, I'm still shopping with Ellie here. We will come to your house around five o'clock in the afternoon, and then we will go to Ellie's house together."

"And let me tell you, the food that Marina-san cooks is delicious, you must try it~"
