Chapter 348 I Just Watch and Don’t Say Anything
🕑 Added 2025-05-31 14:28:33 +0000 UTCAlthough it was already one o'clock in the morning, the lobby on the first floor of Nanaya Chiyoda Villa was still brightly lit and bustling with people.
Members of the Fate crew, as well as people related to Nanaya including Ryuichi Hanai and Nobutani Ryutani, gathered together to celebrate Fate's grand slam at the Japanese Oscars tonight.
In fact, after the Japanese Oscars ended, NHK held a celebration banquet.
The ratings for this year's Japanese Oscars were off the charts, arguably the highest since the new millennium.
The average ratings were 37.8%, with the highest instantaneous rating reaching 51.7%. The average ratings in the second half were around 45%.
This achievement is not only worthy of a Japanese Oscar, but it can almost be said to be the best among all TV shows.
With such good results, NHK will of course celebrate, and it is not surprising that it holds a celebratory banquet.
However, the Fate crew had no intention of acting like monkeys in front of everyone, so after they only showed up briefly at the celebration party, they all rushed to Nanaya's villa.
As the biggest winner tonight, Nanaya was naturally the object of everyone's pursuit.
At the same time, they are also the ones who are forced to drink.
After all, these days are rare, and Nanaya himself is a person who doesn't usually drink.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shion and others naturally wanted to drink as much as possible.
Not to mention that among the people at this party, there are also funny and active people like Shiki Ryougi and Shiki Matsuno.
Every time I saw Nanaya’s cup was empty, I would go over and ask him to drink a few more.
Not to mention Shiki Matsuno, the rebellious non-mainstream guy, who has been drinking since junior high school and has developed a good alcohol tolerance.
On the contrary, this guy Shiki is usually quiet and feels like a good-looking glutton.
As a result, she was more alcoholic than any other man. She and Nanaya had already drunk four or five cups, but she still seemed fine.
You have to know that Nanaya was drinking low-alcohol sparkling wine, while Shiki got the liquor from somewhere.
In short, thanks to the efforts of this group of people, Nanaya was drunk less than half an hour after the party started.
However, these guys still had no intention of letting Nanaya go, and Shiki still encouraged Nanaya to have another drink.
"Nanaya, it's time to drink." Shiki Ryougi took the wine glass and wanted to pour it directly into Nanaya's mouth.
Then she was beaten by Ori.
"Are you Pan Jinlian? Don't think I haven't read "Water Margin"!"
As Ori said this, he dragged Shiki away from Nanaya.
"Tsk, Ori is so boring! Today is a happy day." Shiki said unwillingly.
"You just want to watch the fun! By the way, when did you become so good at drinking? I didn't know you drank liquor like water."
"Hehe, this one."
Shiki Ryougi took out a can of Coke, shook it and said, "Drink most of it first, and then every time you finish drinking, just spit it out in here under the pretext of rinsing your mouth."
“…”
Ori glanced at Nanaya in the distance and thought it would be better not to tell him such a tragic fact.
At this time, Nanaya had already found Illya.
"Is your father all right?"
Nanaya asked with a frown.
Kiritsugu fainted from anger at the banquet, and this was a very serious matter for the Ryutani family.
To be honest, because of this incident, Nanaya originally didn't want to hold this party.
Because this gave him the illusion of dancing on a grave, and he felt uncomfortable.
"It's okay, I just have a strong internal fire."
It was obviously a serious matter, but in Illya's mouth it seemed like just a minor cold.
"Really?" Nanaya didn't believe it.
"Don't worry, just rest and recuperate for a month and you'll be fine." Illya waved her hand and said, "Kiritsugu is not that fragile."
"Then the nearest Linbao Company..."
One month is not a short time. If a large company is leaderless for a month, trouble will arise.
"Mom will take care of it, and Grandpa will come to help too. Otherwise, Oni-chan, why do you think Grandpa suddenly returned home? Didn't he expect something like this to happen?"
[So you guys already knew that Kiritsugu would be so angry with you that he would almost die. ]
In fact, Ryutani Nobuyuki came back to stabilize the morale of the army. In case Washimine really overwhelmed Lin Bao, old man Nobuyuki would at least prevent Lin Bao's people from losing their morale completely.
It's just that this time Kiritsugu happened to be sick and hospitalized, so everything seemed just right.
"Kiryu-chan."
Perhaps because he heard the conversation between Nanaya and Illya, Ryutani Nobuyuki took the initiative to join in.
"Kiritsugu has had it too easy. He hasn't encountered any setbacks since he married Iris. It would be good to teach him a lesson this time."
"Is that so..."
Nanaya had nothing to say.
Are all the people in your family so fierce?
"Don't worry, that kid just lost his mind for a moment."
Ryutani Nounari said confidently: "He should be sober after he is discharged from the hospital. By then, Kiritsugu will be even stronger than he is now. If you want to know why, it should be because he is my son-in-law! Hahahaha~"
“Hehe~”
[Is this a game? The boss has a second phase.]
Nanaya felt that no one in this family was normal. Not to mention the paranoid Kiritsugu and Mrs. Iris's natural blackness, even Ryutani Nobuyuki was like this.
It seems that Illya is very lucky that she did not grow up astray in such an abnormal family.
"Illya, you are really amazing."
Nanaya touched the silver-haired girl's head.
"whee."
Illya smiled slightly, she really enjoyed being pampered by Nanaya.
"Okay."
Seeing that his granddaughter was about to fall, Ryutani Nobuyuki quickly interrupted Nanaya's actions.
"It's already so late, we should leave." Ryutani Nobuyuki ignored Illya's dissatisfaction and grabbed her arm directly. "By the way, kid, regarding the copyright issue of "Kara no Kyoukai", please come to my place in a few days. I have something to discuss with you."
After saying that, Longgu Nobuyuki took Illya away from Nanaya's villa.
"Nanaya, are you okay?"
Just after Nanaya watched the people from the Longgu family leave, he turned around and saw Shion.
"Ugh...I can't drink anymore."
Seeing the red liquid in Shion's hand, Nanaya subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Shion chuckled: "Look how scared you are. This is not wine. This is for sobering up."
Nanaya sniffed cautiously, and only after making sure there was no smell of alcohol did he drink it.
"Hmm...what's that smell?!"
A burning feeling surged from his stomach to his throat. This strange and intense stimulation made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Sorry, I have to leave for a moment."
Nanaya stuffed the cup back to Shion, and he quickly rushed to the bathroom on the second floor.
It was several minutes later that Nanaya came out of the bathroom.
The hangover cure that Shion gave me is indeed very effective.
No, this thing should be more appropriately called emetic.
Thanks to that glass of something, Nanaya's hangover was much less severe and his stomach no longer felt churning.
But as a price, he had to rinse his mouth several times in the bathroom and brush his teeth to get rid of the unpleasant smell.
"I don't know how long it will last, but luckily it only happens once in a while."
Nanaya shook his head and was about to go back to the party, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Shion leaning against the wall in the corridor.
It seemed that the other person was waiting for him.
"Why are you here?" Nanaya asked with a yawn. The two of them were already very familiar with each other, so there was no need to be too formal.
"You've had too much to drink. I came to check on you."
Shion came over immediately and held Nanaya's arm very naturally.
Nanaya obviously dodged, still feeling scared by the kiss at the award ceremony earlier.
"How are you?"
Nanaya shook his head and tried to change the subject: "I'm not a child anymore, I don't need you to help me. But I'm telling you, your stuff tastes really strong, you should get some hangover sobering stuff that tastes better."
"I'll pay attention next time."
Shion chuckled. Nanaya's reaction was within her expectations. After all, she had rehearsed this scene in her mind countless times.
“Did you brush your teeth?”
"Swipe it."
Nanaya answered subconsciously, and just when he was wondering why the other party asked this, Nanaya felt his arms being grabbed by Shion.
"Good, I don't like smelling of alcohol when I kiss."
There is a height difference between Shion and Nanaya, but it is not very obvious. With the help of high heels, Shion kissed Nanaya's lips without even raising her head.
Nanaya felt that the other person was pressing his entire body against him. He wanted to react, but perhaps because of the alcohol still remaining in his body, he seemed unable to control his body.
[I was pushed against the wall? ]
Nanaya's brain CPU seemed to be overloaded with calculations, and his mind was full of this thought at this moment.
Shion's kiss was very immature. She had never had a boyfriend, so she could only try to express her feelings in the way she learned.
However, no matter how much theoretical knowledge you have, you will always encounter many problems when you start to practice.
When Shion wanted to kiss Nanaya's earlobe, Nanaya finally reacted and pulled her away.
"Shion!"
Nanaya took a step back, trying to distance himself from Shion.
[It was a close call. If she wasn't so unskilled...]
Nanaya breathed a sigh of relief. The breath exhaled by Shion just now made his neck itchy, which made him wake up.
If it was Rin who was familiar with her own body, she would never have made such a low-level mistake just now.
"Oh, you want to ask me something?"
Shion looked at Nanaya with a smile; the other party's scolding had no effect on her.
Nanaya said helplessly: "You know, if this is a joke, you are going too far."
"Who said I was joking? I'm serious." Shion raised the corner of his mouth, "Do you want me to use force to see?"
Nanaya laughed: "I am a man, you are a woman, you use... Ouch!"
Before he could finish his words, Nanaya was controlled by Shion.
"I practiced this technique specifically to ensure my own safety." Shion said proudly, "It seems that I can't use it for self-defense now, but it can be used to seduce men~"
“I’m talking to you…!”
Nanaya wanted to argue with Shion, but as soon as he looked up, he saw a figure standing at the corner of the stairs.
"You guys continue, I'll just watch and not say anything."
Shimoya Sakura took a sip of the red wine in her hand and said calmly.
