Orange asked again: "Aren't you curious? What did I talk about with Teacher Inola?"
Shinji replied, "I'm curious, but I don't need to eavesdrop because you will tell me."
"Why would I tell you?"
"Because of the relationship between us."
"What is the relationship between us?"
Perhaps it was because the cold yet delicate Orange was too charming when she said this, or perhaps it was because the beautiful night view by the lake was so romantic that it made people panic. Shinji suddenly got excited, reached out and hugged Orange, and spoke into her ear with his mouth close to hers.
"That's the kind of relationship."
The moment her body was embraced, Orange's body froze, obviously frightened by the boy's bold behavior. But she soon relaxed again, lowered her head and asked in a puzzled manner:
"What kind of relationship is this?"
"It's whatever you say it is." Shinji said half-roguely.
"Then, sister and brother?" Orange asked tentatively.
"Are there siblings like us?" Shinji asked back.
"Why not? This is not uncommon in a magus family."
As Orange said, magicians value bloodline more than anyone else, and many families still maintain the tradition of inbreeding.
"Hmm..." Shinji was stunned for a moment, and responded subconsciously, "But we are not related by blood."
"Fool!"
Hearing this answer, Orange twisted Shinji's waist in annoyance.
The boy then realized that no blood relationship meant no restrictions or constraints. To use the most popular saying on the Internet in his previous life - wouldn't that be better
Ah, I am indeed an idiot.
Seeing Shinji's silly smile, Orange sighed helplessly.
I really don't know whether this little bastard is smart or stupid.
You say he is stupid, but he can always touch women's hearts without realizing it. If you count the girls around him, you can't even count them on one hand.
You say he is smart, but he can't understand such simple hints and sometimes makes low-level mistakes.
However, maybe that's why so many girls like her, and it has remained unchanged for so many years. Even I have lost my heart without realizing it.
Orange raised her head and stared quietly at the boy in front of her, the scene when they first met reappearing in her mind.
That day, he used the Rune System that he could not refuse to entice himself into signing the agreement. He had said indignantly that it was a contract of sale. Now thinking back, it really was a contract of sale in the true sense of the word.
I once wanted to let it go, and in the past few years I have visited several hermits. Among them, the words of one immortal were the most in line with my heart.
What if I let go? What if I don’t let go? Just have no regrets. You have to walk your own path to immortality.
If you can't let go, then don't let go. There's nothing wrong with that. I, Aozaki Touko, have been persistent all my life. It doesn't hurt to be persistent again. I will walk my own path.
"What's wrong, sister? Why are you looking at me like that?" Shinji's concerned voice rang in his ears.
Orange shook his head, reaching out and wrapping his arms around the boy's neck.
"From now on, I will need to do this to see your face clearly."
"I told you I would soon surpass you. How I saw you before is how you see me now."
At this point, Shinji couldn't hide the smugness on his face.
The genes of the Matou family are indeed excellent, but there is a flaw - height. The family members are generally not tall, and the old ones have shrunk. I don't know what they were like when they were young. Matou Kariya is 173cm, and Matou Tsuru is 1cm taller than Kariya. The data of Shinjihara's world line is 17 years old and 167cm. If he has just started to grow up, it's okay, and he has a chance to reach the height of his father or uncle. If he is in the late stage of growth, it's terrible, and it's a problem whether he can exceed 170cm. Although this height is not considered short in Japan, looking at the world... Sigh.
I'm sorry, Shinji is a vulgar man, he doesn't have the open-mindedness to think that the body is just a pile of rotten skin. He doesn't ask himself to be stunningly handsome or shockingly tall, but at least he can score 70 points.
So, after the situation of the Matou family stabilized, he began to prepare for growth and development. A glass of milk in the morning and evening supplemented calcium, and daily exercise and practice also developed in a direction that was beneficial to height. Isn't it often said that young people who play more sports such as volleyball and basketball can help grow taller, and Shinji also used this principle.
Although Justisa was basically certain that he would not be short when she was helping him build his body, he could not be truly reassured until he saw the results for one day.
His unremitting efforts finally paid off. At the age of 16, his height exceeded 167cm, and not long ago, he exceeded 174cm, becoming the tallest in the family. How could he not be happy and proud
Seeing Shinji's nostrils almost raised to the sky, Orange felt both amused and helpless.
"It's not good for a man to hold grudges like this."
"No, no, I'm not holding a grudge, but I remember everything you said, sister." Shinji's expression was as sincere as it could be.
"Do you really remember everything?"
"Of course, I still remember what you said, when I am taller than you, let me hehehehehe..."
"You said you remembered everything. Humph, I never said such a thing."
Orange's hands suddenly loosened and she turned her body away from Shinji's arms.
"You clearly said it." Having entered the realm of the third law, Shinji would never have any problems with his memory. If he remembered, he remembered. If he couldn't remember, he couldn't remember.
Orange showed a sly smile on his face: "Really? Think about it carefully. I said wait until you are taller than me, the rest is just your imagination."
"... "
That's true, those words combined with the context at the time meant this, but Orange never promised anything in person. Thinking of this, Shinji suddenly felt depressed.
"Sister, you can't lie to me like this."
"This is a lesson for you. You are good in every way, but you look like a woman in trouble. Not every girl is as kind-hearted as Fujino and the others and is devoted to you. The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is."
"Then you must be the most dangerous."
"I really don't know whether you are praising me or mocking me."
"Praise, of course I am praising you. I will get angry with anyone who dares to ridicule you."
"Okay, stop pretending. I do have some self-awareness. In terms of beauty, I can't compare to the giant god you projected, nor can I compare to the Golden Princess and the Silver Princess."
"... "
Seeing that Shinji didn't respond but instead looked thoughtful, Orange couldn't help but slap him hard.
"What? You're distracted when you mention Golden Princess and Silver Princess?"
Shinji shook his head: "No, I just thought of something. Sister, you just said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is. So what do you think of Golden Princess?"
"What's the meaning?"
"This is not the place to talk. Go to your room."
Chengzi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, Danzo, I'll leave the precautions to you."
"As you command, I hope Master and Master Shinji have a wonderful night."
Dan Zang's words were still flat, but the meaning behind them made Chengzi's ears feel hot.
"Who told you that?"
"Detection shows that the host's heart rate has accelerated and body temperature has risen. It is speculated that—"
"Shut up!"
Orange was so angry that she turned around and saw Shinji hiding aside and laughing. She couldn't help but slap him hard a few more times.
"Still laughing, I'll make you laugh, make you laugh..."
"Sister, I was wrong, don't be angry." Shinji raised his hands in surrender and secretly gave a thumbs up.
Well done, it's worth lending you such a precious cloak.
PS: The height of Erye in the animation FE is quite good, he is probably more than a head taller than Nero.
