The Otherworld Card Collector

As for why this happened, Shirou Matou did not ask. He knew how to give his subordinates a certain degree of freedom.

But if you really want to make an opinion.

Could you please not let Yamaguchi come?

Although this guy didn't perform any tricks like drilling the Feiji Cup or using a vacuum cleaner to make a mold, he was very clumsy. He even slipped while turning off the lights and elbowed Shirou Matou who was sleeping and woke him up. Can you believe it?

Shirou Matou felt tired, but Yamaguchi was dedicated and just too impatient, so he didn't say much.

"Tell Tachibana to wait outside the door."

"Yes, yes, Chief!"

Wangyue's voice seemed a little louder than before.

Shirou Matou looked calm as he walked towards the gate of the research institute without any extra movements.

Mochizuki quickly took out his cell phone and contacted Tachibana.

"Well, I see."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana didn't say much. She immediately put down her half-eaten dinner and walked towards the door.

At the entrance of the research institute, she met Shirou Matou.

"Director."

"We'll talk as we walk."

When Shirou Matou saw Tachibana coming, he called for her to follow him.

"I will have two plans ready by then."

"Kurokawa and I will each send you a message."

Shirou Matou talked freely.

"Follow my message, but if I don't send a message and Kurokawa sends you a message containing the word 'danger', then you can follow her instructions and proceed to the next step of the plan."

"I see."

Tachibana nodded.

"Have you prepared what I asked you to prepare?"

"I'm ready."

"Ah."

Matou Shirou nodded.

"Then let's split up. I've already sent you the address. There's someone on the left side of Qiuyue's house, but there's an empty room on the right. You can wait in the empty room on the right."

"Okay, got it."

As the words fell, the two of them separated from the intersection, one on the left and one on the right, and then each headed towards Qiuyue's house along a different route.

Shirou Matou arrived at Akizuki's house at a leisurely pace, and it was exactly six o'clock.

Knocked on the door.

"coming."

It was Akizuki Hanayoko's voice.

She opened the door and saw that it was Shirou Matou standing outside. Her face turned visibly red.

Shirou Matou didn't say much, just nodded politely.

"Good evening, Aunt Kayoko."

In private, people call her Hua Daizi.

But for now, I haven't divorced that guy Akizuki Kozo yet, so I'll just call her Aunt Hanayoko.

Then again;

"Auntie or something like that is also good."

In the TV series "Auntie and Shota" that she watched these days, the shota called her aunt like this.

Akizuki Hanayoko still felt a little happy in her heart.

She welcomed Shirou Matou in with a smile.

"You are the only one missing, Minister."

Akizuki Kayoko brought Matou Shirou to the restaurant.

There, Akizuki Airi, Akizuki Marina and Koiryu Suzuka were all there.

"Ah, my brother is here~"

Guangliu Lingxia waved her hand.

Shirou Matou also nodded, then glanced at him casually, and then his eyes met with Akizuki Kozo's.

However, both sides tacitly pretended to glance away unintentionally.

But Shirou Matou knew that this situation could be easily encountered, which meant that Akizuki Kozo had actually been secretly staring at him since he came in.

It's just a coincidence. That's such a coincidence.

Shirou Matou knew this, but on the surface he acted as usual and sat down next to Akizuki Hanayoko.

Akizuki Takashi saw it all.

Such an action made a hidden light appear in his eyes.

'Pity. ’

The pity was of course that he had no chance to drug the food.

Since Akizuki Kayoko knew that Akizuki Takashi might do something bad to Akizuki Airi and Akizuki Marina, she has been on guard against him.

But such precautions were not too deliberate. Although Akizuki Takashi had doubts, he did not worry too much.

Of course, this may also be one of the reasons why he accelerated his plan.

After all, think about it, they've been married for almost a year but are acting like strangers. It would be understandable if Akizuki Kayoko pursued him for his family's property, but the problem is that he was the one who pursued Akizuki Kayoko first.

It is normal to arouse the other party's suspicion over time.

Once there is a gap between two people, they will have doubts about everything.

Akizuki Takashi put himself in their shoes and thought about it, and felt that he was the same.

So from the preparation to the end of the meal, he didn't have the chance to be alone.

In that case, there is no way to put drugs in the food.

But do you think this will make me give up my plan?

Akizuki Kozo grinned and took out a test tube from his trouser pocket.

There was half a bottle of liquid in it. After he quietly opened the stopper, the liquid immediately evaporated when it came into contact with the air, turning into a smelly but colorless gas that filled the restaurant.

Before this, Akizuki Takashi had taken the antidote in his study.

He thought no one knew what he did, but in fact, Kurokawa saw it all.

"Master is right. This 'Akizuki Takashi' truly harbors evil intentions."

But the more this happened, the more Kurokawa wanted to laugh.

Looking at the surveillance video in front of her that covered every corner of the Akizuki family's home, even the toilet and the basement laboratory, she knew that Akizuki Takashi had no chance of winning.

Of course, this is also related to Akizuki Hanayoko's unremitting efforts to assist Matou Shirou.

But in this way, when the family members go to the toilet...

Shirou Matou didn't see it, but she, Kurokawa, did.

Perverts would feel very excited, but Kurokawa just felt a little disgusted.

But this did not prevent her from telling Shirou Matou what was happening in the Akizuki family.

When Shirou Matou saw the message from Kurokawa, he held his breath and sent a message to Tachibana.

"Climb over the wall and open the window for Qiuyue's family from the outside."

Most of the windows in Qiuyue's house are sliding, not the kind that open outwards, so it is relatively easy to open the windows when people are outside.

As soon as Shirou Matou entered the room, he found that the doors and windows were closed and the air conditioner was on.

Very normal.

But in fact it has been raining and windy these days.

The originally hot weather is no longer so scorching. If you open the doors and windows and let the wind blow from the opposite door, you won’t feel hot anymore. Instead, it will feel a little cool.

What the islanders like most is the natural wind.

Never use air conditioning if you can enjoy natural breeze.

So this was enough to arouse Shirou Matou's vigilance.

"You want to knock us out at the dinner table and then implement your plan?"

I have to say, Akizuki Takashi, you are quite bold.

Shirou Matou held his breath. If he wanted, he could probably hold on for seven or eight minutes.

But the mist-like medicine cannot be inhaled without breathing.

You should know that even if you don't breathe actively, the mucous membrane in your nasal cavity and the entrance and exit connected to your mouth will still absorb the mist, but the efficiency is not as efficient as your lungs.

But Shirou Matou was still not afraid.

If you want to say why.

[Inheritance: Pseudo-Invulnerability: Not invulnerable to all poisons, just resistant, but a little more resistant than ordinary people.]

[Inheritance Effect: When any toxin attacks the body, the player will have a poison resistance two to seven times higher than that of a normal person, depending on the toxin.]

[Inheritance Bonus: When using antivenom, players will not experience any immune rejection reactions, and all positive and negative feedback, including effectiveness, will exceed that of normal people.]

Medicine is also poison, and poison is also medicine;

Therefore, Shirou Matou's body has strong resistance.

He could simply hold his breath and pretend to be hit, and then when the opponent wanted to harm him, he could have Tachibana outside take pictures of him and then resist, thus preventing Akizuki Takashi from causing trouble.

The problem however is;

"My thinking may be biased."

Shirou Matou was very rational and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

In contrast, Akizuki Hanayoko and others did not feel sleepy at all.

Not only that, her face even became redder, and she subconsciously squeezed her legs together.

Shirou Matou narrowed his eyes, and then found that Akizuki Hanayoko couldn't help but stick to his shoulder and spoke in a low voice.

"Shirou, something's wrong with me."

Matou Shirou didn't say anything, so Akizuki Hanayoko continued speaking.

"I felt hot all over, and then my body felt weak and I couldn't move."

Um...

Upon hearing this, Shirou Matou immediately understood and opened his eyes slightly.

He was not a fool, so he naturally knew what Akizuki Hanayoko meant.

So he immediately looked at Akizuki Takashi.

Under his gaze, Akizuki Takashi lowered his head, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but a sinister laugh came from his lips.

"Hehehe, I knew there was a secret between you, Matou Shirou."

He laughed until he couldn't laugh anymore, so he raised his head and looked at Akizuki Hanayoko, who was subconsciously caressing Matou Shirou after her consciousness was confused, with a cold expression on the corner of her mouth.
