Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

A thought flashed through his mind, and Matou Kariya quickly changed his mood, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, Emiya Kiritsugu did something in Europe that had a profound impact on us. Did you know that?"

"Oh? Did he steal the holy relic that Tōsaka Tokiomi prepared?"

The smile froze completely before it even appeared, making Matou Kariya's expression look very funny.

"how do you know?"

"Besides bringing bad luck to Tōsaka Tokiomi, is there anything else that could make you smile so obviously?"

After a long silence, Matou Kariya finally fell down helplessly on the corridor.

"...Yes, he stole Tōsaka Tokiomi's relic. However, I learned this news because of another person—Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, the Lord of El-Melloi of the Magic Association's Clock Tower. He's a prominent figure in the Clock Tower. He recently intercepted the Einzbern family's relic, and this incident has caused quite a stir among European magicians."

Noah quickly found the key and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"This Archibald, will he also participate in the Holy Grail War?"

The center of the magic world in this world is undoubtedly in Europe, and the Clock Tower is one of the cores of Europe.

Compared to the magi who hold high positions in the Clock Tower, Tōsaka Tokiomi can only be considered a third-rate magi from the countryside.

The holy relics that such a person could prepare must be extraordinary, right?

"Haha, I heard that Tōsaka Tokiomi has sold all his magic patents in the Clock Tower. I guess he's desperately trying to find a new Holy Relic!"

Amidst Matou Kariya's almost breathless laughter, Noah leisurely returned to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out a few plates of desserts and savored them slowly.

But since he had eaten without any dietary restrictions, Noah subconsciously looked towards the front hall.

Oh, are you home from school?

Noah, who had just been happy to hear about the war, couldn't help but twitched his eyebrows after listening carefully.

Oh no, although the footsteps and breathing seem steady, they are actually full of excitement and rapidity.

I can’t really get full marks in all the exams, right?

Thinking of this, Noah suddenly became a little restless.

run?

Why run?

Is it necessary to be scared like this by a little girl?

But as he felt the footsteps getting closer, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

By the time Noah subconsciously stood up and wanted to leave the kitchen, it was too late.

A charming figure had already blocked his way——

"Noah! I got full marks! In all subjects!!"

Looking at Asagami Fujino, whose eyes were faintly shining behind her glasses and whose face was flushed, Noah forced himself to remain calm.

"Well, congratulations, Fujino, you're awesome! Have a piece of cake—"

Although Noah wanted to change the subject, Asagami Fujino maintained a sweet yet somewhat fiery smile, and came up to him and hugged his arms tightly in his arms.

Girls develop early and quickly, especially girls like Asagami Fujino.

A year later, not only did she grow nearly a head taller than before, her legs became longer and her breasts became fuller and softer, and she could be called plump.

"Noah, you promised me before!"

Just this one sentence blocked Noah's words, and then he was forcibly pulled back into the bedroom by Asagami Fujino.

Before closing the door, Asagami Fujino cast a subtle glance towards the corridor outside.

The next second after the door closed, Sakura Matou, with a cold and silent face, walked out with her schoolbag on her back, staring at the door with her eyes fixed, as if she was looking at a stealing cat.

88 Heroic Spirit Summoning

"Fujino, you are still young, don't go down the path of crime!"

The curtains were drawn and the lights were not turned on in the room, which was dim and hazy.

Although it was just a little dim, even in an environment where you couldn't see your hand in front of you, Noah would still be unaffected.

But looking at Asagami Fujino who was "ready to go" in front of him, he still couldn't hold back.

Although Fujino Asagami still has a very childish face, her figure is no longer like that of other little girls where it is difficult to tell the front from the back. She now has curves visible to the naked eye.

She has long legs, a slim waist and hips, and a plump chest.

Although it is still just the beginning and has only achieved a "breakthrough from zero", this is a country where loli culture is prevalent.

Many girls are only slightly taller than Asagami Fujino after they have grown up, and their bodies are completely flat.

But some people like this and think that the shorter and flatter a woman's body is, the better.

People like Asagami Fujino, who are still small in height but have already vaguely developed feminine features, are even more tempting to commit crimes.

Oh, and there is a proper noun called——

In short, if Asagami Fujino took off her school uniform and told others that she was fifteen years old, some people might believe her.

However, when she crawled over from the bed using her hands and feet like a wild cat that had found its prey, and looked at him with fiery eyes behind her glasses, Noah still couldn't hold back.

Where is the weak, introverted and delicate little girl?

Although Noah also felt that the doll-like lifeless appearance was not good, it was impossible for him to become so fierce in just one year, right?

"Breaking the law? Big brother, that's not right, right? We have already entered the demonic realm. How can ordinary people's laws apply to us?"

I said that just to make you understand that you are different, not to make you understand it that way, okay?

While Noah was complaining in his heart, Asagami Fujino had already climbed the short distance onto the bed and threw herself into his arms.

Then he skillfully used his little head to prop up Noah's palm, rubbed it affectionately, and squinted his eyes in comfort.

"Besides, this isn't some Asagami Fujino, I'm just big brother's good dog."

The faint fragrance coming from the girl, her subtle weight, and the touch of her curves that could not be concealed by thin clothes made Noah roll his eyes.

A year ago, Noah took Asagami Fujino to Asagami's house to say a simple goodbye, and then brought her to Fuyuki City.

At first, Noah was worried that Asagami Fujino would not be able to adapt to life in a new place.

But unexpectedly, Asagami Fujino adapted to the new life very quickly. Perhaps it was because after regaining her sense of touch, she was so addicted to the contact with new things that she even forgot the sadness of leaving her hometown.

On the contrary, the originally well-behaved and sensible Matou Sakura turned into a koala and would never come down as long as she could hang on him.

Even if she started crying, Noah could still handle it.

But that wooden expression of hers, neither crying nor laughing, just staring at him, really reminded Noah of the first time he met Ai Si.

There was no other way, and in the end I could only acquiesce to Sakura Matou's close proximity, and in the end they took a shower together.

Fortunately, this girl knows how to go to the toilet, otherwise Noah would really have to become a super dad.

It took two full months for Sakura Matou to gradually return to normal.

Then, Asagami Fujino started to act up!

At first, she just raised her eyebrows and smiled at him from afar when Sakura Matou wasn't noticing.

Then, when he was eating, he touched Noah's leg while picking up the chopsticks.

Well, although Sakura Matou was sitting on him at that time, her legs were short and she didn't notice it at all.

In the end, she took advantage of Sakura Matou's deep sleep and secretly ran into the bed and stuck behind Noah, making him unable to move.

No matter how insensitive Matou Sakura was, she eventually discovered the situation and started a scheming "battle" with Asagami Fujino.

But no matter what, Sakura Matou is just a little girl of four or five years old. No matter how angry she is when she can't catch the stolen goods, she can't attack Fujino Asagami.

It took another half a year to go by, sometimes easing and sometimes intensifying.

For Noah, the time when he was tormented by the two little girls was really too painful to recall.

This must not be seen by Livilia and Ryougi Shiki, otherwise Noah would want to tap his toes like crazy just thinking about them looking at him with disgust and disdain.

Livilia couldn't see it, but the omniscient and omnipotent [Shiki Ryougi] probably saw it clearly.

Oh no, I'm done for.

A month ago, the two little girls were deadlocked over a festival. Noah couldn't stand it anymore, so he made a promise to Asagami Fujino.

As for the condition, it was naturally the blood-sucking behavior that she had always been thinking about.

Although Noah felt that his bottom line, which was already limited, was broken again, he had no choice but to agree in order to seek temporary peace.

Thinking that getting first place would not be difficult for Asagami Fujino, Noah's condition was to get full marks.

Thinking that Asagami Fujino has become a bit "disillusioned" after coming to Fuyuki City, and since he has never taken care of her, it would probably be difficult for her to get a perfect score in one go.

By the time the next exam comes, I will have already ended the Holy Grail War and returned to Orario.

I can't be so unlucky that I'll be admitted by Asagami Fujino in one try, right?

That's what Noah thought at the time.

The fact is, she actually passed the exam on the first try!

Noah's wandering thoughts didn't come back to his senses until he felt a slight itch on his chin.

He lowered his head and met Asagami Fujino's crimson eyes.

However, this time, there seemed to be a kind of sadness and loneliness in Asagami Fujino's eyes that had never been there before.

This made Noah's heart skip a beat.

Before he could say anything, Asagami Fujino had already pressed her face against his chest and breathed softly.

"Big brother, are you ready to leave?"

Noah opened his mouth, but found that nothing he said seemed to make sense.

"You knew already?"

"It's been clearly written on the expressions of Big Brother and Uncle Kariya these past few days. Not only did I notice it, but Sakura noticed it too."

These words made Noah look outside the door, his sight seemed to penetrate the door and look at the thin and small figure.

"Actually, I've felt it for a long time. Big Brother shouldn't be from our world, right?"

Although Asagami Fujino tried hard to maintain her usual tone, Noah could still hear some loneliness and reluctance in her voice, and he suddenly felt a little restless.

Since leaving the mountain village, Noah has never spent so much time with others, so naturally he felt a sense of responsibility that he had never felt before.

Whether it was Fujino Asagami or Sakura Matou, they were both rescued from desperate situations by myself.

Noah couldn't help feeling guilty about leaving without finding a safe environment for them to stay.

"...Do we really have to leave?"

Raising his hand, Noah gently patted Asagami Fujino's thin back and slowly closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, all the confusion was gone, leaving only determination and clarity.

"I still have many battles to complete and many enemies to eliminate."

Yes, just like he saved me and Sakura Matou, big brother is like the free wind, he will not stop for anyone.

I should be content if I can have him accompany me for a year.

Thinking of this, Asagami Fujino no longer hesitated and cast aside the weakness in her heart.

"Big Brother, you said that Sakura and I both have excellent magical talents. Is this true?"

"Of course, the talents you possess are extremely rare even in ancient times, and are even miraculous today. It's just that I'm not good at teaching people."

Asagami Fujino stood up from Noah's arms, held his shoulders, and looked into his eyes with clear light.

"So, don't worry, big brother. We will work hard to become stronger and we will come to find you!"
