I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

The same Guanbuzi City, the same abandoned building, the same room on the fourth floor, the same characters, the only difference is time. It has been more than three years since the last time something like this happened to them.

The eleven-year-old Matou Shinji has grown a lot taller.

At the age of ten, Sakura Matou began to grow.

At the age of sixteen, already a young girl, the graceful Asagami Fujino.

And Aozaki Orange has not changed at all. The passage of time has changed many things, but it has not left any trace on this crowned puppet master. She still stays at the most beautiful age of women.

But at this moment, this woman's current image cannot be called beautiful.

He has disheveled hair, a gray face, and a white shirt that is wrinkled. The collar, cuffs and other corners are stained with a color that is difficult to wash off. He looks like a construction worker who has been working at a construction site all day.

In comparison, the images of the three minors are much better. Although they are stained with a lot of dust, they are generally still within the scope of being visible to people.

This is largely related to the attire of the three people. The uniform gray sportswear and uniform hair cover and mask protect the owner from being troubled by dust.

That's right, Shen Er and others came prepared.

They arrived in Guanbuzi City more than half a month ago. During this period, they have been working with various government, logistics, water supply, power supply, and gas departments and companies. They also sent a few dolls to an exhibition. Until yesterday, Cheng Zi Finally, all the formalities were completed, and I could move into this building with a legitimate name.

Of course, the No. 1 workshop is the mountain hut near Mount Enzo prepared by the Matou family for Orange. However, Orange's undisciplined personality is destined not to live in one place for too long, and it will be a matter of time before he leaves.

Not long after Justine Sa and Irisviel's bodies were officially adjusted, Orange left Fuyuki City and continued her tour of Japan. This time there was not one person, but three more trolls, the three minors who were accompanying Chengzi now.

Shinji had always had the idea of ​​traveling after the Holy Grail War. He originally planned to wait until Kenneth was almost recovered before leaving home. He would first tour Japan, then go all the way west to China, India, the Middle East, Central Europe, and finally arrive in the United Kingdom. London enters the Clock Tower to study.

However, the plan did not change as quickly as Justeza had her own body, no longer needing to obtain magic power from the outside, and could be self-sufficient. As for Kenneth's treatment, Shenji couldn't help. He didn't want to go to elementary school all over again. Just as Orange said she wanted to go out for a walk, he went with her.

As soon as he left, Sakura quit and pulled Shinji to say that she wanted to go too. Shenji originally wanted to object, but then he thought about it. The parents' objection was simply due to the four aspects of growth, safety, self-care and academic considerations.

There is no need to worry about growing up with him, he will keep an eye on his sister to prevent her from having any wrong perceptions.

The same goes for security. A top-ranked puppet master and a servant-level combat protector are unlikely to cause problems if they are not aligned with certain ancient families or forces. And with Cheng Zi, an experienced driver, leading the way, there is no chance of this happening. It is possible to violate taboos due to ignorance.

The ability to take care of oneself in daily life... Well, although it is a bit hard to describe, Sakura is indeed the person with the strongest ability to take care of herself in the family. Shenji is the most relaxed person with her.

Academics - I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the modern knowledge that Scathach bestowed upon the Servants from the Holy Grail has also been left in the inheritance of "Wisdom of the Demonic Realm". Basic education at this stage is of little significance to Sakura.

In this case, there is nothing wrong with taking Sakura. As a magician and the heir of the Matou family, sooner or later she will have to leave the protection of her family and go out on her own.

As for Fujino, she is Cheng Zi's disciple. The most important task at this stage is to learn from Cheng Zi. Naturally, she will follow Cheng Zi wherever he goes.

This journey lasted more than three years. During this time, the four people visited almost every prefecture (in Japan, the definition of a county is similar to a province in China) and every city in Japan. The reason why it was almost was because there was one city they did not go to.

Misaki City is a small city less than an hour's drive from Kanfuko City. It is the hometown of Orange and the land managed by the Aozaki family. After Orange lost to his sister Aoko, he was cursed by her sister. If the curse is not solved, he will never be able to return to his hometown. Since then, Orange has not set foot in Misaki City without her.

Shinji is skeptical about this statement:

First of all, Aoko's magic level is very average, and this kind of long-term forbidden curse is far beyond her ability.

Secondly, he had heard rumors more than once that Orange had already lifted the curse.

The physical curse can be solved, but the psychological shadow is difficult to overcome. Just like you can wake up a sleeping person, but you can never wake up a person pretending to be asleep. If the knot in Cheng Zi's heart is not untied, she will never go back. Therefore, Shenji chose to remain silent and at most hand over a cigarette when he passed by. This was all he could do.

As she walked, Chengzi felt tired and wanted to take a rest, so she returned to the city closest to her hometown. This time, she planned to stay here for a while. This building, which represents origin, was chosen by her as her residence, workshop and office for her livelihood.

Today is moving day, Cheng Zi unceremoniously pulled Shinji and others over to clean up. In order to retaliate against Orange's atrocious practice of employing underage child labor, Shinji took Sakura and Fujino to secretly buy three cleaning sets, except for Orange.

The result was this - seeing Orange's embarrassed look, Shinji couldn't help laughing.

Sensing the malice in Shenji's smile, Cheng Zi became angry and drew a rune representing wind.

The next second, an updraft swept up the dust on the ground and blew Shenji's face.

"How dare you sneak attack!" Shen Er spat out a mouthful of dust, carved the rune symbolizing water with one hand to fall into the dust, and picked up a ball of water from the basin with the other hand and threw it at it.

Unexpectedly, Chengzi refused to dodge and continued to create dust while taunting.

"Thanks, I just wanted to wash away the dust on myself."

"Then let's rinse it more." Shenji didn't even use magic, he just picked up the basin and splashed water.

The living room suddenly became a mess.

Fujino and Sakura, who were cleaning up the room, looked at each other, closed the door skillfully, and then began to organize important things in the living room as quickly as possible to avoid being affected by the "battle" between the two.

Similar "battles" have happened many times during the trip. The two girls have long been used to it, from not understanding and discouraging them at the beginning, to numbness and avoidance, to being skilled in dealing with the aftermath and reducing losses.

When the beating is almost done and other areas in the workshop are almost tidied up, Sakura and Fujino will each take Shinji and Orange to change clothes and tidy up their appearance.

At this time, it was already evening. Chengzi leaned on the sofa and looked at the brand new workshop, nodding with satisfaction:

"It's much more pleasing to the eye now."

"As long as it's pleasing to the eye, let's talk about remuneration now." Shenji sat across from Chengzi and looked at her sideways, "We have worked hard for eight hours, should you say something?"

"I should express something, but money is tight recently, so I can only treat you to a simple meal." Chengzi touched his face in embarrassment.

"Isn't that right?" Shenji frowned, "The final balance of the workshop was settled last week. You also took a small seven-digit profit from the previous exhibition, and spent it all again?"

"Ah hahaha." Chengzi smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

Fujino explained for the teacher: "Yesterday, the teacher saw a clay doll that was said to be from ancient China, so..."

"I'm impressed by your ability to spend money." Shen Er sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I owe it to you for now. I'm treating you today. Let's go to the seafood buffet."

"You're not short of money anyway, so I won't be polite to you, so let's go."

Just when Chengzi stood up to get his coat, the sound of "dong dong dong" suddenly sounded.

My friend's new book "The Miracle Flower of the Other Side" is on the shelves today. Although it is a bit unpopular, it is still quite interesting. Friends who are interested can support it.
