Chapter 161 Extreme Wedding One for One
Suzuki Sonoko stayed there for another two months, and after making sure that she saw the buds bulging on the treetops, she set out on her journey back to the real world with great vigor and confidence.
The walk took a total of ten minutes, most of which was spent climbing ashore.
Fortunately, the weather had started to warm up, so even though my clothes were a little wet, it wasn't too uncomfortable.
The weather in March is just right, but the bad news is that school is about to start.
The bad news for Ms. Suzuki is that she is about to get married.
——Not with Emiya Kiritsugu.
Sonoko looked at the schedule speechless for a long time before she remembered: in addition to Emiya Kiritsugu, Ebisu was also scheduled!
The marriage ceremony was supposed to be held in Takama-ga-hara at the end of the year, but at the end of the year, she and Akashi-kun were still lying in the refugee camp in Yan Country.
“Huh…”
Miss Suzuki felt a little confused: Could it be that she was just standing up the entire God Realm?
——Although it seems like she's asking for trouble, why does she feel that achieving this achievement is worth bragging about?
Ah, Yuanzi touched his chest, and a wave of pride emerged uncontrollably in his heart!
After the pride comes the problem.
Miss Suzuki thought calmly: Is she wanted now?
She didn't dare ask other people (gods). In fact, she didn't know other gods. It seemed that Yato went to Tono. Finally, she took the map given by Yato and found the place where the so-called poverty god Xiaofu was.
Although she was very rich, Miss Suzuki couldn't help but feel a little nervous and excited when faced with such a title.
The more exciting things are yet to come.
——Ebisu is dead.
Just three months ago.
Suzuki Sonoko was shocked at the time: Oh my god, she had already become a widow three months ago?!
What the hell is wrong with this guy Ebisu? She lived for eighteen years and suddenly became a man's wife because of him, and now he made her a widow without informing her...
“That doesn’t count either.”
The goddess with a very cute voice shook her head and nodded her chin. "Although Ebisu died directly from the punishment of heaven, if it is one of the Seven Lucky Gods, rebirth is very fast."
"Yeah?"
Miss Suzuki believed it and asked happily.
As a result, the girl who was reborn was only six years old.
Suzuki Sonoko: ...
Suzuki Sonoko: "It's still not right!"
She was very confused. "When Ebisu told me that he might die, he also specifically mentioned that even if he died, he would only let me wait for him for a month at most."
"It's been three months. Is he... still six years old?"
Xiaofu's expression became a little indescribable at a certain moment, and then he suddenly let out an exaggerated "Ah" and slammed the table: "Don't you have any idea what's going on?"
Suzuki Sonoko: ...
Suzuki Sonoko: “I don’t know.”
Xiaofu was speechless for a moment: "So you're not sad about the wedding being canceled at the last minute?"
Suzuki Sonoko: "...I said I'm actually very glad, do you believe me?"
Xiao Fu was so happy that his cheeks puffed up. "That's a wedding, such a grand and solemn event, I should be full of anticipation!"
"It's all right."
Ms. Suzuki breathed a visibly relieved sigh and said nonchalantly, "I have another match next week anyway."
Xiaofu: ...
Xiaofu: "Huh."
Ebisu's story is far more complicated and tortuous than Sonoko imagined. Even she herself is actually just a necessary condition for a certain period of time in this story.
How should I put it...
"Given his sickly aura, it's not surprising that he would do something like this."
On the contrary, Kofuku's feelings were more complicated than hers - after all, he was also someone who had heard the story of Ebisu's deep love for a human girl and the way he spent all his blessings on "that someone".
"Suddenly realizing that nearly twenty years of protection were all fake, even if you may not have deep feelings for him because you are strangers, but... won't you feel a sense of loss?"
"No."
The tone was so decisive.
Yuanzi took a small sip from the teacup and shook his head, "I've seen waits of five hundred years, so twenty years isn't so bad."
What's more...
Besides, she had never seen anything that could be called "love" in Ebisu's eyes from the very beginning. After knowing that everything had a reason, she no longer needed Alexander.
The former deity of Ebisu, Yanya, was imprisoned and interrogated for being an accomplice in the crime.
After Takama-ga-hara's penalty, the connection between her and Ebisu was directly blocked. After she could not get the power back, the newly born Ebisu had to grow again according to the steps.
"Spending more than a decade is just a small matter. Because of the penalties involved, your marriage may have to be postponed for a long time."
But Ebisu is the Great God of Fortune after all, and his death can be considered as atonement - "If you don't mind, you can take care of the child from now on."
These devilish remarks come from Kofuku's Shikigami Daikoku.
The burly man threw up his hands nonchalantly and said, "You're both new Lucky Gods now, and you both need to take the basic course. Why not just do it together?"
Miss Suzuki barely managed to maintain a dignified smile.
It's annoying enough to have seen six-year-old Conan, but add six-year-old Ebisu to the mix - is she tired of living?
=====
The days of waiting for the wedding are not long, but they are very exhausting.
The main thing is to ask for help.
Originally, the uncle was determined to invite Zero Kiryu, but his high blood pressure relapsed after he got off the plane, and his overall condition was not good. In addition, he was prone to getting angry over things, so he really didn't dare let his bad temper go out again.
Yuanzi raised her hand seriously to speak at the family meeting and finally won the opportunity.
The meeting time is at dusk.
The location is a family restaurant near Kuroshu Academy.
When Suzuki Sonoko called, she said that you have the final say in everything, so when they arrived at the place, even though there was a crowded family restaurant in front of her, she still sat down without changing her expression.
After waiting for about half an hour, Sonoko thought that it was the time difference that Kiryu Rei was using to fulfill his responsibilities as a discipline committee member and supervise the night class rotation.
So she was very patient, and when Kiryu Zero arrived, she was the first to shout out, "I'm sorry!"
This directly stunned Kiryu Zero.
The white-haired boy pursed his lips and said, "I didn't intend to apologize."
"I know, I know." Sonoko looked at his face almost nostalgically and waved her hand nonchalantly: "You want to watch the vampires, I got here too early."
Kiryu Rei: "...You want to talk about the wedding, right?"
——Are you feeling guilty and unable to speak? You actually said such considerate words.
Yuanzi said: "That's just by the way. My uncle must have called you before. If you don't marry me, you will be another son in our family. He must have planned to let you be the best man."
Kiryu Zero took a sip of juice and said nothing.
Sonoko thought to herself, look at that expression, she must have guessed right!
"I wanted to come to see you specifically because I promised you something before."
After saying that, he took out a plastic drink bag from his bag.
——It is the style that is very common during Halloween. The design is similar to the blood bag in the hospital. It is filled with strawberry juice or colored soda water, which is a deep red drink that looks like blood at first glance.
In addition to the strange pattern on the bag, this package also comes with a long infusion tube, and where the needle should be, there is a screw cap like the one for sucking jelly, which seems to be convenient for eating in batches.
It's just too dark in color.
It's dark, almost black, and far thicker than soda or juice.
As soon as this thing was taken out, it immediately attracted the attention of the shop assistant.
"Well," the aunt said in a decent tone, "we don't allow you to bring your own drinks here..."
Yuanzi chuckled and said, "We won't drink it now. If you're worried, how about another cup of milk tea for the table?"
As he spoke, he pushed the thing into Zero's hand.
Kiryu Zero didn't answer.
"Where did you get this?"
"well?"
Ling sighed, "I can still endure it for now. No matter what channel I get Level A blood from, I will not drink it. Even if it relieves the pain in the short term, it is just drinking poison to quench thirst. You said you want to find the blessing of the gods, you can look for it slowly, I——"
"I've found it."
Suzuki Sonoko wiped her sleeves quickly, exposing her wrist and shaking it in front of him: "His Ying is away, Jiulan Litu is dead, and the vampire senate doesn't have any stock, so where would they get pure blood to sell to me?"
“I smoked this fresh this morning.”
Miss Suzuki snapped her fingers with certainty: "Authentic blood of the gods."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the narrow booth, as if someone had pressed the freeze button on the screen, and then used the remote control to lower the temperature by at least ten degrees.
Sonoko's intuition system beeped and she tried for a long time in panic, but she couldn't see Kiryu Rei's eyes and expression from the shadow of her bangs.
"Well..."
She didn't know why she felt awkward, so she could only make small talk: "I had some health problems a while ago. If I wanted to cure it simply by blessing it, I'd have to wait at least three to five years. But it's gotten much better recently. I'm more like an immortal, or rather a kind of god. I've recovered somewhat, but it'll still take another year or two."
"Instead of waiting, I might as well just use blood. I'm old enough to donate anyway, so 400cc is no big deal..."
Seeing the air temperature getting lower and lower, Suzuki Sonoko said the last few letters in her throat.
She even forced herself to argue: "Based on my recovery ability, it's really a piece of cake..."
What's going on?
Suzuki Sonoko tried to change the subject: "There's a preservation magic circle engraved on the packaging. As long as you remember to close the lid, it will stay fresh for ten days or so. In fact, it's good enough if you drink it all in one go. This amount is definitely enough to purify yourself..."
This is the wrong way to change the subject!
She slapped herself in the face, gathered herself, and tried again: "Give up, young man! My uncle's decisions are basically unquestionable. Just be a good best man. That's your only destiny in this life!"
——Damn, someone come and drag this chuunibyou guy away!
Yuanzi gave up struggling.
"Okay, I was wrong."
She spread her hands, unfazed by the boiling water: "I know you have a shadow over blood. I promised you such a high-end treatment, but now you want to drink blood, but——"
"Let's eat first."
The cold boy's voice interrupted her crisply.
One of Kiryu Rei's hands was still pressed on the IV bag, with his knuckles faintly tinged with white, while his other hand naturally took the menu and flipped through it as if intently.
As he flipped through the pages, he said, "I have to patrol the school tonight, so my rest time is limited. I'll be back soon."
Yuanzi seemed to have choked all the air back into his throat. After opening his mouth several times, he finally swallowed it.
"That's fine."
She also followed the menu and said, "Let's eat first."
The waiter who came to take the order was a young and beautiful lady. The moment she saw the number zero, her eyes lit up and she showed three plus signs.
Sonoko thought that judging from the expression on her face, he must be trying to strike up a conversation!
The next second, the young lady started chatting me up.
"Are you a student at Black Master Academy?"
The young lady started by buying the familiar school uniforms. "They look so familiar. Have you been to this store often before?"
Zero didn't answer, just nodded politely.
The young lady continued: "I heard that Kurozu Academy has daytime and nighttime departments. It's a strange rule, but it seems quite fashionable. You..."
She put on a cute expression that said, "I'm just guessing," tilted her head and winked, "You should be from the night school, right? I feel like your temperament is very similar to—"
"The moon."
Suzuki Sonoko snapped her fingers without hesitation, diverting the young lady's attention. "Her hair color is very moonlight, and her personality is also very cold. Boss, you are so subtle when praising people..."
Zero Kiryu's originally shrunken pupils slowly returned to their original shape. He raised his eyes almost imperceptibly to look at the girl opposite him, snorted softly, and didn't say anything.
Yuanzi quickly sent away the young lady who was almost dancing in the minefield, and when she turned around, she met this look.
"how?"
She lowered her voice a bit, "I don't know anything about this, so I deliberately guessed you were from the night school. My real intention was obviously to compliment you on your handsomeness!"
——Everyone in the night school of Kurosu Academy is very handsome!
The straightforward face-chaser Miss Suzuki also unconsciously started to dance in the minefield: "No matter whether you like them or hate them, in terms of appearance, vampires are really outstanding. Come to think of it, when I was young and ignorant, I was also infatuated with Zhi Kui Qianli."
Kiryu Zero: ...
Kiryu Zero glanced at her calmly and said, "You are older than Chisato Shiki."
This "old" does not refer to physical age, but social age.
——Zhi Kui Qianli’s ID card shows that she is seventeen years old and she has only been a model for a little over a year.
Suzuki Sonoko said as a matter of course, "Wake up! I was still a very young and ignorant person until July last year!"
Because the meal was delayed, she simply drank the drink and smacked her lips, but it was not very satisfying.
"Best man at the wedding, I'm just asking if you can come!"
It is clearly a question, but it is expressed with the momentum of an exclamation.
Kiryu Zero thought for a moment and said, "Come on."
He looked at Suzuki Sonoko who had already started biting the straw, and was silent for a long time, thinking, this is also good.
"Even though we can't get married, we can still walk into the wedding hall together."
There was weight in the boy's eyes and words.
Suzuki Sonoko felt like pursing her lips again when he looked at her. She said uncomfortably, "The ceremony is just for show. There's no need to be so serious..."
The auditorium is under the name of the Suzuki family. If Kiryu Zero wants to go there, she can get the key from her uncle at any time, or directly ask for it in her own name - even with Kiryu Zero's current status as the half-son of the Suzuki family, he can completely ask his uncle for the property rights of this place himself.
"That place is quite nice. If you like, you can spend the night there if you have nothing to do."
Zero Kiryu glanced at her and said nothing.
Did I say something wrong?
Sonoko originally wanted to say, isn’t the point not the auditorium, but being together?
——After we get the property rights, we can go there together. After all, it’s Suzuki’s place. Let alone one trip, even going there ten times day and night is no big deal!
But at the moment before she opened her mouth, Dr. Aizen's teachings suddenly flashed through her mind.
[That little vampire is already devoted to you. Don't do anything else to tug at his heartstrings.]
It tugs at my heartstrings...
What an elegant way of saying it.
She held it in her mouth, her eyes falling on the cold pupils of the white-haired boy: But if we are talking about Zero, no matter how elegant the words are, it doesn't seem out of place.
——Just after thinking of this, she unexpectedly pursed her lips, and driven by a strange mood, she did not say out loud the words that popped up in her mind.
Then the air in the booth fell silent again.
After a moment of silence, Kiryu Zero asked him between servings, "Do you need to invite anyone else after this?"
Yuanzi chewed his food and shook his head.
"For a normal partner, you just need to submit an invitation according to the procedure. You're the only one I can personally talk to."
"Yeah."
Kiryu-kun's voice is as beautiful as ever.
While swallowing the meatball, Yuanzi thought: What she said just now... was she a little too harsh again?
But this is the truth.
Originally, she was planning to invite Changlu Dajue of the Golden Kingdom to be a witness, but before she even went to the Yuzhu Tower, she was shocked to hear that the King of Gold was dying.
If you want to know how he died...
It can be said that he is about to die of illness, or he is about to die of old age.
Suzuki Sonoko was very disappointed: if the King of Gold came to witness the wedding, it would intimidate the groom, a former killer, and ensure that Kiritsugu Emiya would not have any ulterior motives.
Externally, it can, to some extent, resolve the tightening supervision of the Magician Killer by the Guardian Tower Supervisory Agency.
——He has to do business and work after all. Appropriate supervision is a good thing, but watching him too closely will delay his work.
But Guo Changlu Dajue is 96 years old after all.
Besides, the incarnation of the state is still essentially a human being.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, there's nothing we can do about it."
