Chapter 16 It's all Tokiomi Tohsaka's fault!
"You broke the bracelet that Mr. Bluebeard gave me and caused me so much trouble. Although I don't like to destroy the integrity of materials before creating art, naughty children still need to be taught a lesson. Hmm, since you can run and jump so fast, I might as well sever your tendons first."
With the sea monster in front and the kidnapper and murderer making perverted remarks behind, Rin Tohsaka was in a desperate situation. Fear was evident on her small face, but she still protected the girl at the table and retreated to the side of the bar. However, it was just a corner, and there was a wall behind it, so there was no way to retreat.
"This time you'd better behave and not resist me again, or I'll cut your stomach open."
The children hid to the side, and no one dared to stop Ryunosuke Amatsu, but just after he said those words to Rin Tohsaka.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the sea monster at the entrance exploded, and a petite figure fell from the sky, using the force of the fall to crush the sea monster to death. Purple blood and severed tentacles splattered directly onto the face of Ryunosuke Uryu, who was standing at the entrance.
"Do you want to hurt my friend?"
Broly was still holding the takoyaki box in his hand. Then, the takoyaki ball, which had fallen from the box due to its excessive speed, looked at Ryunosuke Uryu with a somewhat hostile gaze and questioned him.
Something seems amiss...
Ryunosuke Uryu wiped the sea monster blood off his face. Broly's entrance was visibly unusual, and he even trampled the familiar that Bluebeard used to protect him to death.
"Don't be so serious, I was just joking with your friend."
Ryunosuke Uryu spoke without hesitation, and his explanation surprised Broly.
"There's a flaw!"
He noticed the boy's momentary daze and, in the next instant, plunged the knife in his hand into the boy's temple.
"careful."
Rin Tohsaka yelled for him to slow down, and Ryunosuke Amusei's knife pierced the boy's temple, but it didn't matter because the knife wouldn't go any further.
The resilient texture he felt in his hands, like the sensation of piercing thick leather, was something Ryunosuke Uryu had never expected.
"What is a joke?"
Broly asked curiously, wondering why his focus was on that.
"Actually, it's just a joke."
Ryunosuke Uryu gave an awkward laugh as he explained, and then sheathed the knife.
"How could that be? He wanted to kill you, and he tried to kill us just now too."
Rin Tohsaka directly refuted his words.
"You brat, who gives you the right to speak here?"
As Yuu Ryunosuke spoke, he reached out to grab Rin Tohsaka's head, but before his hand could touch the girl, he was sent flying backward.
"Click~"
The wooden bar counter was smashed to pieces, and his entire body flew into a wooden crate further behind, which was also smashed to pieces.
"You're going to hurt my friend, you should..."
Before Broly could finish his angry words, he saw the guy he had kicked flying with his body pierced by a lot of broken wooden splinters, hanging on the broken wooden box, looking like he was about to die.
Where am I? Who am I? I'm in so much pain!
This was Ryunosuke Amusei's first reaction upon regaining his senses. His stomach had rotted the moment he was kicked, and the organ that produced adrenaline hadn't even had time to produce adrenaline before turning into a pulp.
At this moment, he was very clear-headed, could feel the pain, and wanted to scream, but only blood spurted from his mouth.
Is this what it feels like to have your intestines perforated? It turns out the intestines I've been searching for are right inside my stomach. It hurts so much, but the color is so vibrant…
With an expression that was both crying and laughing, yet contorted with immense pain, Ryunosuke Uryu gradually breathed his last.
In his lifeless eyes, a boy with a bewildered expression was reflected. Broly had only one thought: the man had fallen before he had even exerted any effort. Should he continue to be angry?
Rin Tohsaka was dumbfounded. From facing a desperate situation to having a new classmate suddenly appear, to the new classmate being ambushed, and then suddenly kicking the bad guy to death, all these twists and turns happened in less than a minute.
"Rin, don't look, come with me."
Rin Tohsaka glanced at the dead villain again, her face turning pale at the sight of his gruesome death. She called to her former deskmate and led her carefully past the boy to the outside.
Broly turned his head as she moved, looking at her with an expression that suggested he didn't know what to do next.
"You come along too."
Therefore, Rin Tohsaka stopped after walking past the boy.
Gritting his teeth, he took Broly's hand and led the dangerous new classmate away.
Once outside, a patrol car passed by. Rin Tohsaka told Suzune to go find the police for help, while she took the opportunity to leave with Broly.
The appearance of the missing child drew the attention of patrolling police cars, and the area around the underground bar was quickly cordoned off.
"What's wrong with you?"
After watching her friend safely descend from the alleyway, Rin Tohsaka finally had time to ask about the boy beside her.
"What happened?"
Broly was somewhat puzzled.
"It's about you suddenly appearing and then kicking that kidnapper and murderer to death."
Rin Tohsaka said.
"I was eating takoyaki just now. After I finished my portion, when you came back, I noticed that your happiness level had suddenly dropped, so I brought your takoyaki to find you."
Broly briefly explained his situation, then looked back at the takoyaki in his hand. Rin Tohsaka could tell from the boy's face that he really wanted to eat it.
"Well, if you still want to eat, then go ahead and eat."
"But this is your food."
I've lost my appetite.
Rin Tohsaka was telling the truth. The octopus tentacles on the surface of the takoyaki were somewhat similar to the tentacles of the familiar that had blocked their way earlier. Coupled with seeing Ryunosuke Uryu's gruesome death, which was almost equivalent to being cut in half at the waist, it was no wonder that she had no appetite to eat.
"Tohsaka, you're a good wife!"
Broly looked intently at the girl and suddenly said something.
"Huh?!"
Rin Tohsaka stared wide-eyed as she looked over and saw Broly eating takoyaki with a satisfied expression on his face.
"You are indeed a strange guy."
Broly kicked someone to death, and even though the person he kicked to death was a kidnapper and murderer, Rin Tohsaka was still somewhat afraid. This was the instinctive fear that people have of beings who can easily kill them. But now, seeing Broly being satisfied with a very ordinary takoyaki, it seemed that this fear gradually disappeared.
"strangeness?"
Broly was somewhat confused, but before he could figure out the strange meaning, he heard Rin Tohsaka continue speaking.
"Thank you so much for today. I might have been in danger if it weren't for you."
Rin Tohsaka's happiness level is rising.
As Broly listened to the notification sound from the Crystal Palace in his mind, he felt that his happiness had returned. If he considered the Happy Water as an equivalent exchange for Happiness Points, he would have gained several hundred more bottles of Happy Water at the moment the girl thanked him.
"Thank you."
Rin Tohsaka reached out her hand to shake Broly's, but Broly looked at her hand without reacting, which made her a little embarrassed.
Give me your hand.
"what?"
"Are you going to give it to me or not?"
"Give."
"Shake hands, my friend. This means that from now on, you will be my best friend, Rin Tohsaka."
"I see."
Broly felt he had learned something new.
"By the way, your house..."
Just as Rin Tohsaka was about to offer to help her get home, the magic pointer on her chest reacted again.
"Clatter~"
Another sea monster leaped from the rooftop and crashed into the alley behind Broly.
"Small……"
Rin Tohsaka's expression changed. Before she could warn him, a buzzing sound rang out, and a swarm of insects flew past her, attacking the sea monster that had appeared and devouring it at an extremely fast speed.
"Rin, are you alright?"
A familiar voice came from behind me.
"Uncle Yanye."
Rin Tohsaka exclaimed with some surprise, but when she turned around, she was somewhat startled.
"Sorry, I look a little ugly right now."
Under the streetlights, a man pulled down his hood, seemingly trying to cover half of his ugly face. His face was wrinkled like an old man's, and something seemed to be wriggling under his skin, making him look terrifying.
What's wrong with you?
"It's nothing, I'm just a little sick. But you, didn't you go to the Zenjo family's house with your mother? Why are you still here in Fuyuki City?"
"I...I'm here to visit a friend."
Rin Tohsaka was a little embarrassed, but she still told this uncle who had been kind to her why she was in Fuyuki City at this time.
"It's dangerous here. You and your friend need to go back right away."
Matou Kariya glanced at Broly, mistaking him for the friend Rin Tohsaka was looking for, and then spoke to the two of them.
Around 7 p.m., Zenjou Aoi, who had received a call from Matou Kariya, drove to Fuyuki City.
"Rin, how could you suddenly run back to Fuyuki City all by yourself?"
When Zenjo Aoi arrived at the nearby park, she spoke to her daughter somewhat angrily.
"Mom, my friend has gone missing. I'm worried she's been murdered..."
Rin Tohsaka explained in a low voice.
"It's good that nothing bad happened."
As Zenjou Aoi spoke, she looked at Matou Kariya.
"Kariya, it was you who protected Rin, thank you."
she says.
"And Broly, he protected me too."
Rin Tohsaka added a sentence.
"Um?"
Zenjo Aoi looked in the direction her daughter was pointing and saw a little boy.
"This is Broly, he's my best friend now."
Rin Tohsaka introduced Broly to her mother.
[The Legacy of Cao Cao]
After Broly met Zenjou Aoi, this strange message popped into his mind.
But he couldn't understand the meaning of the message and quickly forgot about it.
Zenjou Aoi nodded politely to the boy, but didn't say anything.
She couldn't very well reprimand a child for letting her daughter do something risky.
Clearly, she had misunderstood as well; Broly had taken the blame for the girl named Rinne.
"Protecting Rin is what I should do."
The children were ignored, and the adults started talking.
"Simps never get a house."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm saying something that suddenly popped into my head."
However, children also have their own way of communicating.
"What is that?"
"have no idea."
Broly shook his head, but pointed to Matou Kariya over there.
"But I know he's a simp."
"So, what exactly is a 'simp'?"
"I have no idea."
Rin Tohsaka was speechless, and once again confirmed the fact that Broly was indeed a strange guy.
As the children finished their conversation, the adults' conversation became more intense.
The main reason was that Aoi Zenjou had a conflict with Kariya Matou because of his participation in the Holy Grail War.
Zenjou Aoi simply couldn't understand why her childhood friend would suddenly want to participate in the deadly Holy Grail War.
"I did that all so that..."
Matou Kariya stopped, feeling that once you've seen the ocean, other waters are no longer worth mentioning. Some feelings that were hidden in the past are meaningless to talk about now.
I can only say that I misjudged Tokiomi Tohsaka back then, otherwise I would never have handed the person in front of me over to him.
"What are you after? Tell me!"
Under Zenjou Aoi's persistent and perplexed questioning, Matou Kariya could only come up with an excuse.
"I did that for your daughter, so she wouldn't end up like me."
"What?"
"Don't worry, Matou Reiken only wants the Holy Grail. As long as I can get the Holy Grail for him, Sakura will be fine, and I will bring her back to you and Rin."
Zenshiro Aoi: "..."
She seemed hesitant to speak, yet remained silent.
"You don't need to worry about me, my Servant is the strongest."
Seeing Zenjou Aoi's expression, Matou Kariya assumed that the other person was worried about him and immediately said something.
"No, I just wanted to say that Sakura has returned and is now living with Rin and me in the Zenjo family's villa."
"What?"
"She ran away from the Matou family, returned to the Tohsaka family, and was then brought to me by Tokimitsu."
Matou Kariya: "..."
Sakura has already run home, so why did he pay such a heavy price—having less than a month left to live—to participate in this Holy Grail War?
Matou Kariya's current expression is somewhat similar to the two highest cards in a deck of cards. But can he blame his childhood sweetheart, his white moonlight, or can he blame the cute girl who calls him Uncle Kariya and smiles so sweetly?
We can't blame anyone but that guy.
[That's right, it's all Tokiomi Tohsaka's fault!]
"Oh, that's good."
Anger burned within him, but Matou Kariya forced a smile at Zenjou Aoi. After saying those words, he turned and left without hesitation.
His body, corrupted by the Crest Worms, was destined to die the moment he decided to participate in the Holy Grail Ritual.
Although he no longer has a goal to strive for, Matou Kariya has found a new one: to crush that bastard Tohsaka Tokiomi in the few remaining days of his life.
Matou Kariya has left, but Broly learned about Matou Sakura's whereabouts from his conversation with Zenjou Aoi.
[So they're sisters. Hmm, both are good wives, they both gave me food.]
As Broly was thinking this, Rin Tohsaka came closer.
"Shall I have my mom take you home?"
"No need, I can go back by myself."
"Let's go, Rin, let's go home."
Zenshiro Kui called out to her daughter.
"Then, see you tomorrow."
Having witnessed the boy's prowess, Rin Tohsaka had no doubt that he could go home, and waved goodbye to Broly.
After Rin Tohsaka and her mother left, Broly also took off, flying towards the Fujimura family's house.
The speed was so fast, like a starving student rushing to the cafeteria, with ripples of air appearing around him.
Fortunately, night had fallen, and even if someone heard the strange noise, it would be difficult to find the boy flying quickly across the dark sky.
