Chapter 856 Sincerity is the Ultimate Weapon
After the initial introduction, the cubicle fell silent.
"Sir, Madam, here is the juice you ordered."
The first to break the silence was a waiter who pushed open the door and entered.
"Hey you two, stop sitting here like silent gourds, say something!"
The waiter left, and Rin Tohsaka took a sip of her juice before speaking.
"But, Tohsaka-senpai, what should I say?"
Grey was somewhat embarrassed.
"Broly, Grey is a bit introverted. Why don't you say something?"
Rin Tohsaka looked helplessly at her husband beside her.
"What should I say?"
Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka slapped her forehead with a loud crack.
"No, you've already won over so many people, don't you know how to win over a newbie?"
"Oh, here you are."
"Huh, are you saying I was a third wheel?"
Rin Tohsaka raised an eyebrow.
"No, Rin, that's not what I meant. I just feel that with you around, I don't need to use my own brain."
After hearing Broly's words, Rin Tohsaka was speechless and couldn't help but say, "You want to seduce someone, but you need me to give you advice, right?"
"Then I'll do it myself?"
"Don't worry about me being here. Just use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. I'd like to see how you win over other people in another world."
Rin Tohsaka waved her hand.
"Other worlds?"
"Miss Grey—"
"Ah, I'm here."
"Let's talk about some things about each other to get to know each other better."
"?!"
"I'll go first. My name is Broly, and I grew up on Planet Wampa. Planet Wampa is—"
When I was five years old, a Crystal Palace System suddenly appeared in my consciousness. Because of my stutter, I chose to travel to this world.
Broly began to recount his past life, being honest with his target, which, based on his life experience, seemed to be quite useful so far.
Of course, this is based on the fact that his life experience is not ordinary. If it were just ordinary and without any novel experiences, even if he told the story, it would probably only make people drowsy. Unlike now, which made the tomb keeper girl on the other side quite fascinated.
Not only was Grey completely engrossed, but even Rin Tohsaka, one of the first childhood friends of Broly and a woman who knew a great deal about Broly's life, was captivated when she heard the protagonist recount his past again.
Rin Tohsaka, chin resting on her hand, tilted her head to look at Broly, her eyes gentle yet proud, as if to say: Look, this is my husband, Rin's husband. He's been a hero, a savior, experienced extraordinary things, had many unusual adventures, and has won the favor of many outstanding men from another world.
"So it is, and so it is—"
As the ice in the juice glass gradually melts, Broly's story comes to an end.
"Until I got married to Rin and the others, that's my whole story."
After Broly finished speaking, Grey came back to her senses, but she felt a little unsatisfied.
"Glug glug————" After finishing the iced juice in a few gulps, Broly looked at the gravedigger girl opposite him: "Miss Grey, my story is over for now. It's your turn to tell your story."

"Ah, my story—"
"What's wrong? Is there something inconvenient? If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say."
Broly noticed the other person's embarrassment but didn't make things difficult for him.
"No, it's just that my story is completely incomparable to Mr. Broly's story—"
If Broly's life story is a turbulent sea, then Grey's life story is stagnant water, which may occasionally have some ripples, but quickly returns to calm after the ripples subside.
"It's alright, this is just to deepen our understanding of each other. It doesn't need to be a dramatic story; a simple and ordinary one is just as good."
Listening to other people's stories is secondary; the real purpose is to win over the girl in front of him.
"Ah, in that case, I'll make a fool of myself then—"
The young tomb keeper nodded and began to tell her life story.
I was born and raised in a small village in the Welsh mountains.
'
Before the age of four, Grey's life was that of an ordinary village girl.
But when she was four years old, her life took a turn for the better.
"My village has served the great King Arthur of Great Britain for generations, Artoria Pendragon, and guarded his tomb."
When I was four years old, my appearance changed, which made me the object of everyone's awe in the village, like a believer seeing a messenger of God.
"Wait, Gray, what changes have occurred to your appearance that make the people in your village mistake you for a messenger of the gods?"
Rin Tohsaka interrupted her narration and asked a question out of curiosity.
"I've heard that my appearance is exactly the same as that of the great knight king of the past."
Grey paused for a moment before lifting the hood over her head and explaining why she was regarded as a messenger of a god.
"If you hadn't said anything, I would have just thought it looked familiar, but now that you mention it, it really does look somewhat similar."
Broly looked at Grey's face as she lifted her hood, and stroked his chin as he spoke.
"Exactly the same?"
Rin Tohsaka asked.
"No, there are still some differences, at least the hair color is different."
Broly shook his head in reply.
"Excuse me, Tohsaka-senpai, Mr. Broly, what are you talking about?"
"We're talking about whether the King of Knights is similar to you or not."
"?!"
"You've probably heard of the Holy Grail War, right?"
"Um."
"Eleven years ago, during the Holy Grail War held in Fuyuki City, King Arthur was summoned, and Broly saw her in person."
"ah?!"
Gray looked at the Saiyan boy, and Broly nodded to her.
"So, what kind of person is she, Lady Artoria?"
The tomb keeper girl asked the question.
"He must have a huge appetite."
Broly thought for a moment and then answered.
"?"
Grey was a little stunned. She hadn't expected the answer that he had a big appetite, and she was somewhat taken aback.
"What about the others?"
"I don't know. Back then, I wanted to invite her, just like I want to invite you to join my Crystal Palace now, but she directly rejected me. I was young at the time and didn't pursue her too much, so I didn't have much contact with her and don't know much about her. However, I have someone who knows her well. Well, it's the Master who summoned her back then. If you want to know what kind of person Artoria is, I can find out for you later."
"Ah, this—"
Grey wanted to say no, but she was also curious about what kind of person the great king who was supposed to take over her body and be resurrected was.
"Asking about this isn't a difficult thing, you don't need to worry about it."
Broly noticed the gravedigger girl's hesitation and spoke directly.
"Well, then, this will be troublesome."
Grey couldn't resist her curiosity in the end.
"Alright, let's not talk about other people's business anymore, Miss Grey, please continue with yours."
My story —
Always seen as a substitute for great heroes of the past, Grey felt a little strange after hearing words that valued her more.
[Grey, happiness level is increasing —]
Broly also suddenly received a notification from Crystal Palace. Not knowing why the other party's happiness value had increased, he couldn't help but look at the gravedigger girl opposite him with some curiosity.
Feeling Broly's probing gaze, Grey felt a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously pulled her hood back up, using it to block the other person's view and make herself feel less awkward.
"After my appearance changed, I lost my friends, and even my mother's attitude towards me changed drastically. She would pray for me."
After her appearance changed, Grey's childhood was incredibly lonely. Whether it was children her age or villagers older than her, including her parents, their attitudes towards her turned into worship, awe, and alienation.
"Fortunately, Professor Belsac took the initiative to contact me. He is the village's gravedigger, but he chose me as his next gravedigger."
Grey's childhood only began to improve after she was chosen by the previous generation of gravediggers in the village to be the next gravedigger.
"It was around that time that I met Yad."
The gravedigger girl placed the birdcage she was carrying on the table, and as if introducing friends, introduced the talking, block-shaped sealed costume inside to the two of them.
"I am Yard, Grey's partner."
"I'm Broly, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Well----"
Broly's politeness was somewhat unexpected by Yad.
"Yes, of course, me too."
Faced with the fingers reaching into the birdcage, Yad rolled over and touched them, somewhat like shaking hands.
[Grey, your happiness level is rising —]
Seeing that her only friend in formal attire was getting along well with her new friend, just like herself, Grey seemed happy.
However, in contrast to her happy mood was the somewhat harsh training life she underwent after becoming a tomb keeper.
Of course, I wasn't beaten or anything, but life became like that of an ascetic, somewhat dull and impoverished.
Their daily routine is quite strict. They have to get up at dawn every day to patrol the cemetery. Besides the physical labor of maintaining the cemetery, they spend their day praying for the deceased.
"Until two years ago, I met Master Waver, who came to our village seeking to remove the curse from Master Iskandar's spirit. That's when he took me in as a disciple and took me away from my original village —"
After that, Grey joined the Clock Tower as a teaching assistant student as Webber's apprentice. Her daily tasks mainly consisted of cleaning the office and doing mundane things like organizing teaching materials.
"That's my situation."
After saying that, Grey lowered her head, subconsciously placing herself in a vulnerable position.
"Isn't it a bit bland and boring?"
She asked it cautiously.
"No, it's not boring. Although it's a bit mundane, this is what a normal person's life is like. Hmm, don't compare yourself to Broly, his is different."
Rin Tohsaka waved her hand.
"Now that we've been completely open and honest, what's the next step?"
She looked at Broly and asked.
"Miss Grey, what are your hobbies?"
Broly thought for a moment and then asked, "The strategy is nothing more than catering to their preferences."
I prefer reading classic detective novels.
"Then I'll send you some detective novels."
"?"
After leaving the café, Broly took his men to London’s largest library, where they bought all the classic detective novels.
"Oh, there's no need to go to such lengths."
Please give me a chance to show you my goodwill.
Unable to refuse the kind invitation, the tomb keeper girl carried a pile of books back to her dormitory in the evening sunset.
"You do have some skills in winning over girls."
After Gray left, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but say something that sounded a little sour.
"cold----"
"What?"
"Let me treat you to takoyaki."
"Um?
'
"The place you used to treat me to when I was little, I wonder if it's still there?"
Rin Tohsaka stared blankly at the boy, the bitterness in her heart instantly dissipating because of those words.
"If it's not there anymore, we'll just go eat at another place. It doesn't necessarily have to be the one we ate at when we were kids."
The two walked hand in hand toward the clock tower. Luvia Celinta happened to pass by and saw them. Thinking about the information she had gathered about Broly over the past few days, she was about to go over and say hello when she saw the boy who had left the clock tower pick up Rin Tohsaka in a princess carry and fly away.
Luvia Celinta: "————"
Should magicians maintain a principle of mystery?
No, flying directly through the air, and so fast at that, is that really something magic can do?
The blonde girl stood there, watching the black dot disappear rapidly into the horizon, momentarily bewildered.
"Wait a minute, Rin Tohsaka, is she deliberately showing off to me? Does she have someone picking her up from school or something?!"
Rin Tohsaka was unaware of Luvia Celinta's situation. After being carried into the air for a while and being able to see Fuyuki City, she whispered in the boy's ear, "Broly—"
"Um?"
I love you~
"I love you too."
I love you more than you love me~
Broly: "...
That evening, the two bought a huge pile of takoyaki (octopus balls) and took them home, much to the surprise of everyone in their family.
"Broly, if you were the detective in the book, could you deduce who the real killer is from this known information?"
'
. . . . .
Under a tree on the lawn at the clock tower, Gray was flipping through a detective book, but she was actually playing a detective reasoning game with the Saiyan boy beside her.
The game involves telling the teenagers clues about the murderer's crimes from the book, and then having them try to find the real murderer from the perspective of the mystery-solving characters in the book.
However, this kind of puzzle-solving detective game is a bit brain-teasing and not Broly's forte. He pondered for a while and called out the names of suspects one after another before Grey called him to stop.
"You're not using clues to deduce the killer anymore; you're using exhaustive search to find the killer. That won't do."
"Then I'm out of ideas."
Broly shrugged.
"Forget it, I'll just solve the mystery directly. The murderer is—"
The clue that proves he is the murderer is—
Now you know why he's the real culprit!
"Um.
""
Grey is like a kindergarten teacher, instructing Broly, this big baby, on how to play detective reasoning games.
During the game, the two gradually became closer.
This interaction, in the eyes of others, prompted a certain person with ulterior motives to take action.

"Tohsaka, if you admit that you're not as good as me, then I'll tell you a secret."
"What secret?"
"You have to admit you're not as good as me before I'll tell you."
"Tch, fine, don't tell me then."
"Don't go! Fine, I'll just tell you straight: the good man you said I could never find better, your good husband, is now flirting with other girls."
"Are you talking about Grey?"
"You know?"
"Of course I know, I introduced him to you myself. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Watching Rin Tohsaka's departing figure, Luvia Celinta was once again bewildered.
Does she have a peculiar fetish for sharing her husband?
Luvia Serinta had this idea and suddenly felt that things should be as she thought.
[So that explains why so many people got married before —]
