Chapter 858 Amusement Park
"Knock knock knock"
A crisp knock broke the silence of the office; the wooden door was gently knocked three times in a regular rhythm.
"Come in."
A deep, somewhat weary male voice came from inside. Rin Tohsaka pushed open the door and slowly walked in.
Behind his desk, Weber Velvet looked up at her and tapped the leather sofa opposite him lightly with his fingertip: "Sit."
Rin Tohsaka sat down as instructed, her fingertips casually resting on her knees, quietly waiting for the other person to speak.
Weber looked at her, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly: "Tohsaka, you should know why I'm looking for you."
"I really don't know."
Rin Tohsaka blinked, a perfectly appropriate look of confusion on her face, but she already knew what was going on in her mind.
Seeing this, Webber's tone became a bit more serious: "I saw everything that happened on the training field just now. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Is the teacher referring to Luvia?"
"It wasn't her."
Weber interrupted abruptly, his gaze sharpening.
"I'm asking about Grey. Why is she so close to your husband?"
Rin Tohsaka smiled slightly, her tone as natural as could be: "So that's what you meant, teacher. Isn't this the assignment you personally gave Gray?"
"Academic assignments?"
Weber was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately.
"Yes," Rin Tohsaka nodded. "On my wedding day, didn't you personally set an assignment for her—to find a man she truly loves, have a normal relationship with him, and marry him when she reaches my age? You haven't forgotten that, have you, teacher?"
Every word was clear and easy to hear.
Weber froze instantly, memories flooding back. He had indeed assigned this homework, but it was mostly as a joke.
"But what does this have to do with your husband?"
"Grey was struggling with this assignment, and coincidentally, my son Broly told me he liked Grey, so I played matchmaker for them. Is there a problem with that?"
Her tone was so calm and her expression so matter-of-fact that Weber was speechless, opening his mouth but unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
After a long silence, he finally found his voice: "But you know perfectly well that Sven Gulacher has always loved Grey!"
"? Is that true?" Rin Tohsaka feigned surprise, then shrugged. "Even if that's true, he never confessed to Gray."
Moreover, before I made the connection, I specifically asked Grey, and she clearly stated that she didn't have anyone she liked from a male perspective.
She wasn't opposed to my idea of introducing her to potential partners.
At this point, Rin Tohsaka leaned slightly forward, looking at Waver, her tone tinged with confusion: "Speaking of which, Waver-sensei, when you assigned this assignment to Gray, did you specify that she had to choose a romantic partner?"
"No, not at all."
Weber answered instinctively.
"That settles it then."
Rin Tohsaka straightened up, her tone relaxed.
Weber felt a lump in his throat, and suppressing his emotions, he said in a deep voice, "But that's your husband. Introducing your husband to Grey is simply illogical!"
"I don't mind."
Rin Tohsaka answered crisply and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
But I mind!
Gray was brought out of a small village by him, and he took her in as his disciple. Webber was very responsible and considered himself the child's guardian.
The current situation is that, without his knowledge, his disciple has been abducted by his student and is now having an affair with a married man.
He took a deep breath, softened his tone, and tried to persuade her gently: "Tohsaka, Gray is too naive. She hasn't experienced much of the world and doesn't understand the complexities of human nature. As her mentor, I really don't want to see her get hurt in relationships in the future. Do you understand?"
"Does the teacher think that my Broly will hurt Grey?"
Rin Tohsaka's smile faded slightly.
Weber didn't speak, but his silence said it all.
"Professor Weber, I can assure you that Broly would never hurt anyone he likes."
"9
Weber remained silent, his brows furrowing even more deeply, clearly unconvinced.
Seeing that he wouldn't listen to reason, Rin Tohsaka simply stopped explaining and shrugged, "Fine, even if you don't believe me, what can you do?"
There is an old saying in the East: "A teacher for a day is a father for life."
Weber looked up, his gaze unwavering as he looked at her.
"I may not be able to change anything, but as long as I am Grey's mentor, I will do my best to protect her from harm."
Their eyes met, and Rin Tohsaka suddenly chuckled, her tone filled with genuine praise: "Mr. Waver, no wonder you are the most beloved teacher in the entire Clock Tower. No one can compare to your professional ethics and sense of responsibility."
Weber thought she had finally given in and was about to continue persuading her when she suddenly changed the subject.
"But what does this have to do with me?"
"Um?
'
Weber didn't react for a moment.
"Grey and Broly are dating. If you don't approve of this relationship, you should talk to them and give them advice. What's the point of coming to me?"
"No!" Weber interrupted hastily, "I meant you should control your husband and persuade him to stay away from Grey—"
"I can't do that." Rin Tohsaka shook her head, her eyes gentle yet firm. "I love Broly, but my love has never been a rope to bind him, much less an iron chain to imprison him. I will not stop him from doing whatever he wants to do."
Weber: "————"
He was rendered speechless by a single sentence.
Seeing his frustrated expression, Rin Tohsaka suddenly changed the subject: "However, I do have a proposal. Would you like to hear it, Waver-sensei?"
"What proposal?"
Weber asked in a deep voice.
"If you truly believe that Grey and Broly are not a good match, then go and persuade Grey yourself."
Rin Tohsaka stood up and straightened her clothes.
"Broly would never force someone he liked to do something they didn't want to do. If Grey said to herself that she didn't want to be with him anymore, he would never force her in the slightest."
After saying that, Rin Tohsaka nodded slightly: "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. I have classes to attend later."
Without waiting for Weber to say anything more, Rin Tohsaka turned and left, leaving him alone in the office, feeling frustrated and helpless.
"Ugh, I told you not to assign so many homework assignments. No wonder Grey's been a bit distracted the other day."
In his office, Weber looked at himself in the mirror and reflected on his actions for a moment, filled with self-reproach.
"No, I have to talk to Grey."
He got up, strode out of the office, and headed straight for the place where the girl usually stayed, but he couldn't find her anywhere.
He asked several students in succession, and the answers he received were all "I don't know" and "I've never seen it before."
"Mr. Webber, are you looking for Grey?"
Suddenly, a furry head peeked out from under the eaves outside the window, and the boy called out to him in the corridor in a light and cheerful voice.
Weber looked up and recognized his student, Flat, and immediately strode to the window: "Flat, do you know where Grey is?"
"I just ran into her!" Flat climbed in through the window. "I asked her where she was going, and she said she was going to an amusement park, but she didn't say which one."
"Did she go alone?"
"No, there are two people. She's with someone else, I heard it's the new combat instructor. Do you know him, teacher? I'd like to ask him for some combat tips."
That's not a teacher.
"If it's not a teacher, is it a student?"
"He's not a student either."
"If it's neither a teacher nor a student, then who is it?"
Flat scratched his head, then his eyes lit up. He leaned closer and whispered, "Those two looked really close together. Could they be Grey's relatives?"
"These things are none of your business." Weber didn't want to say more, his tone suddenly becoming stern. "By the way, shouldn't you be in class right now? Did you skip class again?"
Flatt's expression changed: "Ah! Oh no! I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to do. Goodbye, teacher!"
Before he finished speaking, he nimbly jumped out of the window and disappeared in a flash.
"They're all so troublesome, one after another."
Weber rubbed his throbbing temples, utterly exhausted.
After a moment's thought, he ultimately did not chase after them to the amusement park.
"Never mind, let's talk to Grey properly when she gets back."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his office.
. . . .
Meanwhile, at an amusement park outside London.
Broly, with the amusement park tickets given to him by Luvia, successfully led the gravedigger girl into the park.
The colorful amusement park rides and the constant laughter were all unfamiliar to Grey.
She followed beside Broly, her head slightly lowered, the brim of her hat covering most of her face, her eyes filled with a sense of helplessness and confusion.
"Grey, what do you want to play first?"
Broly turned his head and asked her opinion in a soft voice.
Grey clutched the hem of her dress and whispered, "I don't know, I've never been to a place like this before."
She grew up in a secluded village, surrounded by cemeteries. This lively and vibrant amusement park was a completely unfamiliar world to her.
Broly, who was not familiar with this kind of place, simply looked up at the roller coaster in the distance, where couples were walking towards it together, and immediately said, "Let's go check that out first."
"Um.
""
Without the slightest hesitation, Grey nodded gently.
The two walked to the entrance of the project, lined up quietly, and just in time to catch the last row of the roller coaster that was about to start.
The facility slowly started up, the wheels making a dull "click" sound, carrying the flying car slowly up to the highest point.
The next second, the vehicle suddenly plunged down, and a gust of wind howled into our ears.
The screams of the tourists in the front row erupted instantly, with excited and fearful cries rising and falling.
Broly sat calmly in the last row, completely bewildered as to why the passengers in front of him were making such a fuss.
Turning his head, he looked at the girl beside him. He saw that Gray was gripping the safety buckle with both hands, her shoulders slightly tense, clearly a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid." His voice was deep and steady, reaching Gray's ears. "Even if this car goes out of control, I can get you out of here unharmed."
Grey looked up at the confident-looking boy beside her, and the panic in her heart inexplicably dissipated. She softly hummed in agreement.
Then, Broly calmly announced the upcoming trajectory: "Left turn coming, right turn in three seconds, followed by three consecutive rolls and dives —"
Every prediction was spot on. As Gray listened to his clear instructions, her tense body gradually relaxed, and the nervous look on her face faded, leaving only calm.
On the roller coaster, the front row of tourists screamed and howled, but the two people in the last row remained calm, looking just like the safety officers patrolling the ride.
As the ride came to a stop, the passengers stumbled off, many pale-faced and retching as they leaned against the railings.
Broly led Grey out of the car and asked her, "What do you think of this project?"
Grey thought about it carefully for a moment, then answered truthfully, "I feel very safe."
Not far away, tourists who had just recovered from the extreme feeling of weightlessness heard this and turned around abruptly, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
[You're practically being flung around, and this feels incredibly safe?!]
But seeing that the two looked perfectly normal and showed no signs of fatigue, and even walked down from the last row where the feeling of weightlessness was the strongest, these people swallowed back the complaints that were on the tip of their tongues.
"If you two don't think this is thrilling enough, the giant swing and drop tower next to it are even more exciting, you can give them a try."
One tourist couldn't help but offer a suggestion.
Broly looked at Grey: "Would you like to give it a try?"
""
"You can give it a try."
Grey did not refuse.
Soon, Broly had experienced both rides and found them rather ordinary. The swing ride and the drop tower were not as fast or as hard as when he was grabbed by the feet by his own body. After all, even after flying for more than ten miles, he didn't crash into a rock formation.
However, Grey's face was a little red, and she seemed to be enjoying it. Seeing this, Broly said seriously, "If you like this feeling, I'll take you to experience something more exciting another day."
Grey, whose heart had just calmed down, gasped for breath upon hearing this and quickly waved her hand in refusal: "No, no, I don't really like overly strenuous activities. I prefer something quieter and gentler."
"Then let's go sit on that one."
Broly raised his hand and pointed to the giant Ferris wheel not far away.
This Ferris wheel is the landmark of the amusement park. It is huge and takes nearly half an hour to complete a full rotation. When it reaches the highest point, you can take in the entire view of London. Even if it is not dusk or night, it is a favorite spot for couples to take photos.
The two entered a separate observation cabin, and the door slowly closed, isolating them from the noise of the outside world.
As the Ferris wheel slowly rose, Grey's attention was completely drawn to the city view that gradually unfolded outside the window. Her usually cool eyes suddenly lit up with a rare, subtle glimmer, carrying a hint of barely perceptible joy.
Broly had no interest in the view from above; his gaze remained fixed on the girl in front of him the entire time.
She looked at the scenery, and he looked at her.
Her eyes were full of tenderness, and in the corner of her eye, Gray's happiness score on the Crystal Palace panel was steadily rising.
Afterwards, the two went on the carousel and bumper cars.
After touring the area, even Grey, who was usually expressionless, had a faint smile on her face.
However, the girl's smile vanished when she played in the mirror maze.
He subconsciously lowered his head and reached out to pull down the brim of his hat.
"What's wrong?"
Broly noticed her odd behavior and stopped to ask.
"I don't really like looking in the mirror."
Grey's voice was soft, carrying a hint of unspoken resistance.
Why?
Broly was puzzled.
"My face resembles that of the legendary Knight King." Gray clutched the hem of her dress, her voice low. "Every time I look in the mirror, I feel like my body no longer belongs to me, as if it's being taken over by an ancient hero."
Upon hearing this, Broly didn't say anything, but simply stepped forward, bent down, and gently lifted her up in his arms, letting her rest steadily against him. He whispered, "Okay, close your eyes, I'll take you out."
Grey obediently closed her eyes and nestled in his arms, a sense of security and dependence welling up within her.
Broly carried her and walked steadily through the intricate maze of mirrors, ensuring she never saw another single mirror.
Emerging from the maze, Broly set her down and, looking at the last remaining attraction in the amusement park, suggested, "You're a gravedigger, it's a good fit for you, how about we go check out the haunted house?"
Grey's cheeks flushed slightly, and she didn't refuse, nodding gently, "Mm."
Stepping into the haunted house, the light was dim and the atmosphere was cold.
The surroundings were set up in a gloomy dungeon-like setting, with a cold wind carrying deliberately created eerie sound effects that sent chills down one's spine.
"It's too dark here."
Broly made a casual comment, his expression completely unfazed.
"Click—"
A slight noise came from above, and the next second, several hanging corpses wrapped in white cloth suddenly fell down, blocking the two of them.
Broly instinctively shielded Grey behind him, then turned to look at her: "Weren't you scared?"
"no."
Grey shook her head.
"Although these corpses look very realistic, they don't have the stench of a real corpse."
The tomb keeper girl shook her head; she could tell at a glance that these hanging corpses were fake.
The haunted house environment was actually quite scary, but it failed to frighten either Grey or Broly.
Just when Broly thought the haunted house project would pass by uneventfully, Grey, who was walking beside him, suddenly stopped and tugged at his sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
Broly turned his head in confusion.
"This haunted house is full of fake ghost sets, but—it seems like a real one has sneaked in."
Grey lowered her voice and looked warily into the room of the ghost dolls ahead.
As soon as they finished speaking, a faint "click, click" sound came from the room ahead. A ghost doll sitting on a wooden chair slowly turned its previously dull glass eyes, its scarlet eyes staring intently at the two of them.
"Even if it's true, it doesn't really matter."
97
"?"
"Whether it's a real or fake ghost, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Broly walked straight into the room of the haunted dolls, his gaze precisely locking onto the doll that was surrounded by a chilling energy.
"Be careful!"
When Grey saw him about to touch the doll, she quickly spoke up to remind him.
The ghost doll, now locked onto by Broly's gaze, suddenly sprang to its feet, grabbed a wooden puppet beside it, and hurled it at him.
In response, Broly simply raised his hand and flicked his fingertips lightly.
"Snap—"
'
With a crisp, light sound, the spooked ghost doll was flung away and crashed heavily back into the pile of dolls.
The chilling energy surrounding his body was dispersed by another invisible force, leaving not a trace behind.
"Oh, the exorcism was successful?"
Grey, who had run over to help with the exorcism, was somewhat dumbfounded.
"I think so."
"How did you do that?"
"Want to learn? I'll teach you!"
As the sun began to set, the two left the amusement park and walked side by side toward the clock tower.
Along the way, Broly teaches Gray how to use air to destroy the dead.
Of course, this method is easier for those with abundant Qi to use.
Therefore, he also taught the Qi-training fist technique that everyone in the Grey Crystal Palace group chat room had shared, which had been optimized to version 3.0.
"This set of boxing techniques can make you very hungry while practicing. If you want to practice it, be sure to prepare plenty of food to replenish your energy."
"Okay, I understand."
Grey nodded obediently.
As soon as the two reached the entrance of the clock tower, they saw Rin Tohsaka waiting there.
She hurried to greet him, her smile gentle: "Grey, did you have fun today?"
"Yes, Tohsaka-senpai, I'm very happy today."
Grey nodded vigorously.
"As long as you're happy. But from now on, Broly's time belongs to me and the others. See you tomorrow."
Rin Tohsaka smiled and stepped forward, naturally taking Broly's hand from Gray's.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Grey looked at their clasped hands and felt a slight emptiness in her heart, but she didn't show it at all. She simply waved goodbye gently.
"Grey, you're back. Mr. Webber seems to want to see you."
Upon entering the clock tower, Grey encountered Flat, whose eyes lit up at the sight of her, and he ran over to her and said something.
"Knock knock knock~"
There was another knock on the office door.
"Professor Weber, Flat said you wanted to see me."
Grey walked into the office and spoke to the young man sitting on the sofa.
"Yes, it's something, and it's a very serious matter—"
After having his disciple sit in the same spot where Rin Tohsaka had been at noon, Waver went straight to the point and asked.
"Are you dating Tohsaka's husband?"
