Looking at Matou Shinji who pushed out the door, Kariya gritted her teeth and stood up and followed, while Matou Sakura quietly followed Matou Shinji.
Matou Kariya followed Shinji and walked through the long corridor. Growing up in this mansion, he immediately knew that Shinji was going to take him to the basement. He hesitated in his footsteps, but when he saw Sakura following Matou Shinji, He gritted his teeth and followed.
He will not treat Shinji as a child now, and even in his heart, Matou Shinji and Matou zouken are already regarded as difficult guys to deal with.
Walking through the stone steps and pushing open the heavy wooden door of the basement, after a few years, he saw the worm cave of the Matou family again, this nightmarish place.
After entering here, Matou Kariya first smelled the long-lost stench. He knew it was the smell of bugs cultivated by Matou Dirty Inkstone, but the strong burnt smell that followed caught him off guard.
He stood on the high platform and looked down, his face full of surprise. There should have been piles of bugs below, but now it has turned into a rubbing of black ash, and the surrounding walls are full of black marks. There are even traces of damage to the walls and ground.
"quack--"
Along with the crow's cry, a black three-eyed crow fell from above and stood on top of Matou Kariya's head, causing him to raise his hand in a panic and slap the three-eyed crow above his head. The Three-Eyed Crow dodged easily. The bird made a triumphant call in the air, and it seemed that it liked to tease people very much.
"Be calm, or don't come out this week."
Matou Shinji's indifferent words, but immediately made the Three-Eyed Crow look like a fried hair. After two rapid chirps, it obediently landed on the stone railings of the high platform and became a quiet mascot.
Matou Shinji gave Matou Kariya an apologetic smile: "Sorry, this guy is a little too lively."
However, at this time, Matou Kariya ignored Shinji's apology, and rushed from the high platform to the bottom like a lunatic. His face was full of disbelief. Digging through the ashes, but not finding any bugs.
During the two days of waiting, Matou Shinji did a lot of things.
Carefully organize all kinds of assets at home, the land deed of the Matou family, all kinds of jewelry in the storage room, all kinds of research materials, messy magic tools, all kinds of things, even with the help of black spiders , Matou Shinji just sorted out an outline.
But in the process, Matou Shinji eroded and controlled all the enchantments of Matou's house, and completely mastered the house.
And for the engraved insects in the basement, he also sent the three-eyed crow here to clean up. Without the birth of the magic power of Matou Dirty Inkstone, these engraved insects were burned little by little and called ashes.
"Hehe...really...all gone! Damn bugs! They're all dead..."
Matou Kariya's face was full of excitement, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes. Back then, he just watched his mother get eaten alive by insects here, and because of this, he gave up expressing his feelings to Chancheng Aoi.
To be precise, there are still some bugs in the corner of Fuyuki City, but the lifespan of these bugs is simply pitiful, only a few days at most, and they will die if they leave it alone.
"You see, the Matou family used to be full of filth, but now it's different, because I am the head of the Matou family!"
Matou Shinji said loudly and forcefully, although his voice was still young, the will contained in it was like steel, and his blue pupils seemed to be burning with flames, staring at Matou Kariya who was standing below: "I think Matou It's best for Sakura to stay at Matou's house, where she can shelter her, and the Tohsaka family is the closest magic family. It's very convenient for her to meet her parents, of course... If her uncle has any better options, she might as well let her I listen!"
"I...haven't considered..."
Slowly standing up, the smile on Matou Kariya's face gradually disappeared, replaced by extreme depression, which he really hadn't considered.
"Hmm~"
Matou Shinji had a smile on his face, and then said to Matou Kariya: "It seems that there is no better choice, the Matou family is still in the same city as the Tohsaka family, it is easy to meet, if Sakura is sent back. , then I don't know where to be sent!"
"..."
Matou Kariya was completely silent. After calming down and thinking carefully, he realized that what Shinji said was right. He knew that Tomisaka Tokiomi was a pure magician. The fate of being sent away.
"Also, as the head of the Matou family, I am too incompatible with the magic engraving, and the magic attributes do not match, so I decided to hand over the family's magic engraving to Sakura. This kind of treatment is only one family!"
Matou Shinji said with a smile, his attribute is [Erosion], which really doesn't match the magic engraving of the Matou family, and there are countless mysterious knowledge in the dream, which is enough for him to learn for a lifetime, magic engraving still counts Well, just leave it to Matou Sakura for her to use.
Ah... I forgot to mention, the magic engraving is still in the body of the old bug, Matou Shinji has not had time to peel off the magic engraving from the inside, this is an important matter, after this incident is over, we must start immediately Learn how to peel off the magic sigil too.
Ok! This is the so-called Daguai drop equipment.
Matou Shinji walked from the high platform to Matou Kariya, his sky blue pupils stared at his uncle and said, "It should be alright, dear Uncle Kariya, then next...you will take care of me Do something!"
The black three-eyed crow flew from the sky, the purple flames lingered around it, and then began to fly around Matou Kariya, making weird "quack" sounds from time to time.
The black spider hung a spider silk, slowly hanging from the ceiling, and its sharp forelimbs rubbed against each other.
"Uncle, don't you worry about Matou Sakura? Do something for me, so that the Matou family will be less troublesome. You can also see Sakura often, or just move back to the Matou house? How about taking care of Sakura yourself? Growing up, how do you feel?"
Matou Shinji said slowly and calmly.
"...I promise you, I'll stand up for you in some places, but...I won't go back to this place, the beginning of this nightmare, but I'll often come to see Sakura at the Matou Mansion... "
Matou Kariya was like a breath in his heart, and it suddenly radiated, and he seemed to have a few traces of decadence and bleakness, just like he could do nothing about Chancheng Aoi marrying someone else many years ago. Tong Sakura was helpless, she could only try to do something for her, and she hoped that Matou Shinji could treat her well.
He... was just an ordinary person.
