I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

In this way, she became a master.

Indeed, she is not a magician, nor does she have the qualifications to provide magic for her followers. But before the summons, she had already thought of a solution.

After the seance was completed, the three command spells were used up at once, and all were used as energy to maintain the daughter's existence.

The simpler the command, the better the effect. Although it cannot solve the problem once and for all, the miraculous power contained in the command spell is enough for little Jack to exist for a long time without fighting.

And, there is another benefit to doing this.

The command spell was used up, and as an ordinary person, she would not arouse anyone's suspicion. Coupled with the career skills brought by Little Jack as an Assassin, and the aura interception up to A+ level, even if he passes by other masters and slaves, he will not be discovered. (Except for job agencies with authority like Ruler)

This is enough, because their purpose is just for the daughter to find her father, and they are not interested in fighting or anything like that.

Thus, an even more unusual pairing was born in the unusual Holy Grail War.

The other masters and slaves have their own purposes and fight for life and death, while the mother and daughter live their own lives peacefully.

Open shop during the day.

This can also be regarded as the influence of dreams. The self in the other world loves cooking, and so does little Jack. The two even rented a shop in Tulifas. Even though it was just a whim, even though I fished for three days and dried the nets for two days, I unexpectedly did well.

Inspired by this, she also opened such a fast food restaurant on the old street near the church, firstly to make her daughter happy, and secondly, to make a little money for daily expenses.

As for night, this is the time when the master and servants are the most active and cautious, and the mother and daughter are the most carefree.

When you are tired, rest in your own little home.

When I wasn't tired, I secretly went to Matou's house to see what he was doing.

Sometimes it was mother and daughter together, sometimes it was just little Jack.

During the civil war between master and disciple.

When rescuing the Emiya family.

During the melee in the suburbs.

During the Holy Grail Grand Prix.

They had been watching silently but did not intervene because this was not the right time.

Until the group showdown after the Grand Prix, Shinji was seriously injured after two consecutive battles and was chased and intercepted by a group of monsters. The situation was precarious.

She finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked her daughter to release the mist to save people, and explained the puzzle she had prepared long ago.

The results are certainly pleasing.

He killed everyone and wiped out the Mafia Group in one fell swoop. He doted on his daughter as much as he did five years ago, and finally succeeded in solving the mystery and found the place that was related to her, him, and his daughter.

Let’s go home together.

Watching her open the door, take out the men's slippers she had bought a long time ago, say what she wanted to say a long time ago, have dinner together, and drink tea and chat together after the meal.

Everything was just like the other one she had longed for.

The story ends here.

After saying that, the woman said no more and silently looked at the strange and familiar boy in front of her.

The young man didn't speak. He lowered his head and looked at his teacup and the ripples in the tea soup from time to time.

The man and the woman were silent, and no one spoke first.

I don’t know how long it took, but the man finally took a breath and said slowly: "Lingxia, I——"

The voice was astringent, as if something was blocking it.

This is also a matter of course. No matter who it is, they will be moved when they hear such a story and know that there is such a woman waiting for them silently and paying for themselves somewhere they can't see.

Although it was just a fate of just over ten days, he didn't know why she was so persistent with him. But he felt that he had to do something to repay this kindness.

The third magic is the power of the soul, the power of the heart. The more you understand this, the more you cherish such pure and beautiful feelings.

However, before he could organize his words and say what he wanted to say, the woman stood up first.

"Okay, that's the end of the story. If you have nothing else to do, just go back."

"But--"

"But what? Do you have something to say to me? Don't get me wrong, I am the Sixth Director Lingxia, but not the Sixth Director Lingxia you are familiar with. I have made it very clear just now, I just do one thing a week A dream is like watching a TV series. You may have some feelings, but we are not the heroine. Don’t treat us as one person, otherwise I will feel very distressed.”

Shinji was speechless. This was indeed an irrefutable fact, just like he was not the brother of another Sakura. The other Sakura's surname was Edfeldt. but--

"So what did you do before-?"

"That's just fulfilling her dream. She hopes to become a family with you, and she hopes that Jack can return to his father. I am fulfilling her wish in this way. Now that the wish has been fulfilled, I don't have to go anymore. Play her.”

The woman spoke calmly, blocking the man's thoughts with every word.

"after that--"

"There should be no intersection. There is actually no connection between you and me. You are you and I am me. You have your life and I have mine. You are a man of the hour in the mysterious world, and I have nothing to do with that world. Ordinary office worker. I admit that you are an excellent man, but there is too much age difference between us, and I don’t like playboys.”

"That's it."

The woman spoke so frankly, and it was hard for the man to say anything. The same person in the parallel world is not the same person after all.

He picked up the sticky note and pen beside him, wrote down two numbers, and handed them to the woman.

"This is my mobile phone and home phone number. Please don't refuse. Maybe you and I have nothing to do with each other, but we do with little Jack. No matter what, she regards you as her mother, and you have lived together for a long time. , no one can erase this period of time. Could it be that you sent your daughter to me and then disowned it yourself? In that case, little Jack will be sad."

The woman reached out and took it: "I'll accept it. I won't give you my number. Jack knows how to find me. It's almost dawn. Your family must have a lot to ask you. Don't keep them waiting too long. .And, compared to me, the other two——"

"Two what?"

"nothing."

Having said this, the man could no longer hang around and stood up.

"Okay, since you insist on this...contact me if you have anything, I won't refuse if I can help."

"I'm a little tired, so I won't send you off. Goodbye, Mr. Matou."

"No need to send you off. Goodbye, Lingxia—no, Miss Sixth Director."

After saying that, Shen Er walked out of this home that did not belong to him and gently closed the door.

After taking two steps, he looked back, memorized the house number, and sighed softly.

"It seems like I'm being pretentious... No, there seems to be something wrong... And that blue Rubik's Cube, why does it sound so similar... Forget it, with her attitude, you can't get anything out of her even if you ask, so why don't you go back Ask little Jack. Speaking of which, little Jack’s operation as a spirit...doesn’t it mean that I have changed from one daughter to two daughters?"

The young man who was on his way back didn't see that at home across the door, a woman was holding a note and staring at the place where he sat in a daze.

What's more, he didn't know that deep down, she wasn't as relaxed as he thought, and she was hiding a lot of things.

The effect of the dream on her was far more than stated.

The sense of substitution is really a scary thing. How many people will not be touched when they see that the protagonist looks exactly like themselves and has the same name?

Without this fantasy, she might have gotten married and had children long ago. You know, she is already 28 years old. Her parents, who adhered to Japanese traditions, kept urging her to get married. In the end, she had to move out of the house to avoid her parents' pressure to get married.

Of course it's not that she doesn't want to get married. She always goes on blind dates arranged by her parents and relatives. To be fair, the blind dates arranged by the family are all outstanding, and there are also elites and young talents with excellent looks, family background, and personal abilities.

But due to the influence of dreams, every time I see the person I'm going on a blind date with, I will subconsciously compare it with that man, which indirectly causes every blind date to end in vain. Even if you agree to a relationship, it will not last more than a month.

By the time Little Jack appears, the speed of death becomes even faster.

Because little Jack would tell Lingxia that this man is not good, he is not as good as dad here, he is not as good as dad there, and he is not as good as dad anywhere anyway.

At the beginning, she would argue with little Jack for a few times, but gave up after a few times.

Don't try to compare your daughter's father with other men, because in the daughter's heart, the father is always the most powerful.

This indirectly led to her being single, leading to her parents' urging for marriage, leading to her moving out of the house, leading to her resignation and leaving Tokyo - well, the last two points don't really count, they were to take her daughter away from Fuyuki to find her father. .

The Japanese workplace is different from most other countries in the world. Working overtime is the norm and asking for time off is a sin. Although her job is relatively relaxed and generous, it is impossible to take a long vacation.

After several unsuccessful requests for leave, she gritted her teeth and resigned directly - in Japan, this has a high probability of ruining her career prospects. Japan is a country with a pathological obsession with loyalty, where dedicating your life to a job is normal and quitting one is a big deal.

Because after resigning, you will be subject to various implicit discriminations, banks will not give you loans, and the annuity system and insurance system will become strict because of this. The threshold for re-employment will also become very high, much higher than for fresh graduates with no experience, because the employer will think that you have some unforgivable flaws in the workplace, so you will be "forced" to resign. Controlled everywhere. Many people would rather commit suicide than resign.

Although after the collapse of the bubble economy, there were more and more denunciations of the "lifetime employment system" and the situation has improved, the atmosphere and values ​​accumulated over the years are not easy to change, and she still has to bear considerable risks in doing so.

Of course, with her personal abilities, innate intelligence, and life experience gained from dreams, she can live well no matter where she is. She used her previous savings to open the store and rent a house, but since then, she has not touched any of her savings, relying entirely on the store's profits.

Even so, in the eyes of her parents, this was an earth-shattering event.

"What should I do next? Can I really not care?"

She seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed on the sofa.

The note slipped, but landed right on her heart.

What was the purpose of everything she did? How do you feel about that boy?

She doesn't understand.

"Really, like a fool."

◇◇◇

"Really, like a fool."

At the same time, in a different place, another woman who looked exactly like her was leaning on the sofa as if she had no bones, sighing.

She is the ruler of shadows in Romania and one of the decision-makers of the Thousand World Tree clan, which is currently in the limelight in the world of magicians. After the real person in charge said that she needed to concentrate on studying magic and appeared less and less in front of outsiders, she became the sole master of the huge family.

It's hard to imagine that such a strong woman would show such a weak expression.

She held a blue Rubik's Cube between illusion and reality in her hand, and she glanced at it secretly from time to time, as if she was expecting something.

It was this thing of unknown origin that suddenly appeared in front of her and them, giving them hope of going to another world, but she made a seemingly ridiculous choice - she gave up and Hope rests on myself in the parallel world.

She could have taken her daughter to find him like her best friend, but she gave up because she lived a happy life in the parallel world and ruined this beauty.

The reason is funny. Compared with her unbearable and filthy self, she who has never set foot in the darkness is more suitable to be by his and his daughter's side. That would be a truly happy and happy family, just like what she longed for when she was the eldest lady.

"What's going on over there? Although Fiore said that she and her daughter had arrived in Fuyuki City, she seemed to be worried and didn't acknowledge him. I know it's a bit overwhelming, and it wouldn't be surprising if she refused, but... ...I really hope...if not for me, then for Jack..."

"Mom, I'm back."

The girl with short silver hair opened the door and walked in. Black suit top, plaid knee-length skirt, with the logo of the best private school in Bregast embroidered on the chest.

The woman raised her head, her smile as gentle as ever: "Welcome back, Jack. Why is it so early today?"

That's right, she is Jack, a girl who started to grow after having sex, and has completely integrated into human society, a girl who is like a school idol.

"Because we are on leave." The girl put down her schoolbag, came to her mother, took her hand and acted coquettishly.

Maybe it's because I've entered puberty and started to grow taller, and it's becoming more and more difficult for me to jump into my mother's arms like before.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?".

"How could it be? Even if I become a slave, I am still a servant, so I am not that fragile. We have something very important to tell mom."

"What important thing?" the mother asked with a smile, "Is my good daughter in love? Let mom guess, which boy is so lucky? Is it the student president who looks very good?"

"Humph, that's not the case. Those people in the school are a bunch of immature kids, even Uncle Cowles can't compare."

"If you say this, Uncle Cowles will be sad."

"I won't let him know." The daughter winked narrowly, and her expression was very similar to someone's expression when trying to trick someone, "What I want to say is about dad - we seem to have met dad over there. "

The woman lying on the sofa shook her body and sat up: "How did we meet?"

"The specific process is not very clear, but I suddenly saw it. Dad was holding us and playing with us. He was very happy."

"Yeah, that's it."

The woman held her daughter in her arms, closed her eyes, and murmured softly.

My wish has been fulfilled, and now it’s up to you, Fiore and Joan of Arc.

PS: Two daughters are nothing. Crazy Jack said that if you have enough magic power, a thousand daughters will do.

PS2: The crazy Jack the Ripper has a Noble Phantasm called "Natural Born Killers" which is similar to Baimai's Noble Phantasm "Delusional Illusion", but the maximum number is more than ten times that of Baimai. . Moreover, each one can be used as the main body, and then continue to be cloned (if the magic power is enough) - so Bai Mang, you are a disgrace, put your head up! By the way, you can lift dozens of heads. It seems you are of some use.

PS3: Japan’s workplace system is only for general members (formal jobs), and part-time work does not count. Really capable bosses and upper-level executives are not subject to such great restrictions. Of course, the situation was much better in 2017 and 2018, but it was 2004 and it was not that enlightened.

PS4: There are real cases of being too involved in a drama. The actor Chen Xiaoxu (late) who played Lin Daiyu in the old version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" also had many similarities with Daiyu in his life trajectory - as she said in an interview Said: "I have no acting talent. I might have been Lin Daiyu in my previous life.". Not just her, many of the actors in the old version of "Dream of Red Mansions" were also in similar situations to the characters they played. You can say that the director chose the actors well, or you can say that the actors were too deeply involved in the drama and were involuntarily affected.
