"Uncle Yan Ye?" Sakura called out hesitantly from behind the door.
"It's me, Sakura. It's me." Hearing Sakura's long-awaited call, Yan Ye's emotions immediately became agitated. However, when paired with his stiff face with half of his veins popping out, he gave off a strong sense of malevolence. Sakura, who was behind the door, couldn't help but shrink back, hiding herself in the shadows.
"I'm sorry, Sakura. I scared you." Yan Ye quickly took a few deep breaths to calm himself down when he noticed Sakura's change.
Seeing that Yan Ye had calmed down, Sakura Toosaka walked back to the door. She opened the door and looked at Yan Ye, who seemed unfamiliar to her.
"What's wrong with your face?" Sakura asked softly.
"Ah, it's just a small problem." Yan Ye pretended to be relaxed.
"— Uncle Yan Ye, you seem to have changed into a different person," Sakura said.
"Haha, maybe that's the case." Yan Ye laughed dryly.
"Xiao Ying, you too." Following that, Yan Ye looked Ying up and down and spoke softly.
Her eyes were bright, and her clothes were neat and tidy. Her expression was no longer like that of a puppy following behind Ling. She looked very confident, just like the last time he saw Ling. However, she was not as arrogant as Ling. Instead, she looked more like a lady from a respectable family.
"Yes, everything has changed." Yan Ye sighed to himself.
"Sakura, how have you been?" Yan Ye suppressed his emotions and asked softly.
"Very good. Brother Cheng is very good to me. "Sakura smiled happily and replied.
"Brother Cheng, is that the man who became your master?" Yan Ye asked.
"Yes, that's him. Brother Cheng said that calling him master would make him sound old, so he told me to call him brother. "Sakura explained.
"Looks like you like him a lot." Yan Ye's tone was strange.
"Yes." Sakura confirmed.
Of course, in the young Sakura's heart, the so-called 'like' was just a child's feeling of closeness to someone who treated her well. It was just like how she liked toys and parents.
"… That's good." Yan Ye opened his mouth and finally said, "Since you're doing well, I'm relieved."
Sakura Dosaka looked at Yan Ye strangely. She didn't understand what he meant.
"It's nothing. It's just that seeing that you're well, I can rest assured and do what I'm going to do next. "Yan Ye squatted down with difficulty and placed his uninjured right hand on Ying's head. He forced a smile.
"Uncle Yan Ye, are you going somewhere far away?" Ying asked softly.
A child's senses were sharp to begin with. Coupled with the development of magic after learning magic, Sakura Enaka vaguely sensed something.
"Uncle will be busy with some important matters during this period of time. It might be very difficult for him to visit Ying in the future." Yan Ye retracted his hand and explained.
"I see …" Ying said with some disappointment.
No matter what. Yan Ye was the uncle she was close to. Even though he looked a little scary now, the warmth in her memories had not faded. Therefore, it was natural for her to be disappointed when she heard that it would be difficult to see her uncle again.
"I say, Ying, after I'm done with my work, let's play together again? With your mother and sister. "Yan Ye noticed Ying's disappointment and tried to salvage the situation.
"Really?" Ying tilted her head and asked expectantly.
"Yes. It's true. We definitely will. I promise. "Yan Ye's strange face revealed an ugly smile as he promised.
"Then it's a promise." Ying asked.
"Yes, it's a promise." Yan Ye nodded.
Then, he opened his arms and hugged Sakura Dosaka. Ying did not dodge and allowed Yan Ye to hug her tightly.
"Goodbye, uncle should be leaving soon." Yan Ye let go of Ying after a while and said.
"Okay. Bye bye, Uncle Yan Ye. "Ying said softly as she stood properly again.
Then, Yan Ye stood up with difficulty. Under Sakura Dosaka's gaze, he dragged his broken leg and walked away step by step until he disappeared into the shadows.
Seeing Uncle Yan Ye disappear, Sakura Dosaka retreated back into her room and locked the door with a "bang".
At the same time, as if it was startled, a black bird that had been hovering above the apartment suddenly flapped its wings and flew into the sky. It flew in the direction that Yan Ye left in.
At the same time, on the bustling streets of Fuyuki City, Sei Itō's route gradually separated from the crowd and began to travel to a less populated area.
After traveling like this for more than ten minutes. Ito Sei finally came to a place where there was no one around. It looked like a large pile of goods, and he stopped in one of the relatively empty places.
However, at this moment, Ito Sei's right arm shook slightly. A black dagger with various irregular edges on the surface, looking like a rough stone tool from the Stone Age, suddenly slipped out of his sleeve and fell into Ito Sei's palm, then he clenched it tightly.
Then, Sei Itō waved his wrist and tilted the dagger.
In the next second, a somewhat dazzling silver-white light instantly flew out from the surface of the dagger and blasted straight at the top of a container not far away.
During this process, every obstacle that stood in the way of the beam of light was silently penetrated, as though the objects placed there weren't solid objects made of gold or stone, but instead, they were made of butter that looked like it wasn't made of gold or stone.
"How … is this possible …" After the light disappeared, a dark figure with half of his body missing and a skeleton-like mask on his face said in disbelief.
Then, his body quickly dissipated and turned into countless dark spirit particles that gradually merged into the air.
"Tsk, is this to prevent me from accidentally breaking in, or to see if I have become the master?" Sei Itō turned his head and looked at the place where Assassin disappeared and sneered.
But it was normal to think of this. After all, the timing of Ito Sei's appearance was too coincidental. In addition, the Holy Grail War had just begun. Therefore, regardless of whether it was out of reason or out of tactical and strategic considerations, it was normal to send an assassin to monitor Ito Sei, a magician who was likely to become a participant in the war and also a possible unexpected factor. Therefore, it was normal for the assassin to understand his movements. Even if Sei Itō was in Toshimi Toshimi's position, it would be the same.
However, although he said that, his mood was not the same. So after sensing Assassin's surveillance, Ito Sei didn't hesitate to use his newly created concept weapon, the Guns of Torawiska Bontic Utori, to deal a heavy blow to Assassin. At the same time, he also took this opportunity to test the actual effect of the Guns of Torawiska Bontic Utori.
After all, this thing was a product of the weapon he used to create the fake Haihara Mitsuki in the Forbidden Magic Book Catalog world. He was not sure if it could still reach the same level of power as in the Forbidden Magic World.
But judging from the current effect, it was very good.
"The power is a bit unexpected. Is it because the magicians in this world have not developed this kind of thing? So there is no influence on the number of users, so the mystery is enough? "Sei Itō speculated with some uncertainty.
Then Sei Itō put away the Torawiska Bontik Uttori made of obsidian in his hand, turned away from the pile of goods, and returned to the urban area of Fuyuki City, continuing to search for the whereabouts of Long Zhijie and Caster.
It was a pity that although Fuyuki City was not very big. But it was not very small. It was difficult for one person to find Long Zhijie and Caster in a large-scale search, so until late at night, Sei Itō still could not find Long Zhijie and Caster.
"It seems that I can only wait for the plot to officially start, and they move to the underground pipeline." Sei Itō, who gave up the search and planned to return to the apartment, sighed in his heart.
"Crash. Crash … "
At this moment, a strange sound attracted Sei Itō's attention.
Sei Itō turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
Not far in front of him, in front of a building that should be a library, a burly man with a height of two meters, who looked like a giant in Japan where the average height of a person was only 1.7 meters, was using his thick muscular arms to forcibly pull up the bookstore's anti-theft shutter door, making a passage for him to pass through.
"That is …" Sei Itō looked at the burly man with a stunned face. There was also a man standing not far from the burly man, whether it was height, figure, or appearance, he looked feminine.
"I didn't expect to meet these two guys here."
"Wuwuwuwu …"
Then, the urgent alarm of an invasion sounded from the bookstore with its shutter door broken.
"Fool! Fool! Fool! Fool! You actually broke the shutter door to come out, what the hell are you thinking! Why didn't you turn into a spirit like when you went in!? "The petite man shouted angrily.
"If you keep your spirit, you can't hold these." The burly man who was scolded showed a happy smile on his face, raised the two books in his hand and said.
"Don't dawdle! Run away! Run away quickly! "The petite man urged anxiously.
"This is ridiculous, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Isn't this like a thief? "The burly man retorted with a dissatisfied face.
"If you aren't a thief, then what are you!" The petite man shouted boldly.
"It's very different. If you run away in the dark, you're just an ordinary burglar. If you leave with a triumphant song, then you're the Conqueror King's plunder. "The burly man unhappily said this strange statement that conflicted with the contemporary law.
"Don't you think so? That guy over there." Then he suddenly turned his head to look at Sei Itō who was standing far away.
"Who? Who is it! " The petite man who was shocked by the burly man's change was stunned at first, then he subconsciously followed the burly man's gaze and looked into the distance. Then he asked with a slightly changed expression.
"Well, according to modern concepts, what you're doing now is indeed stealing. No matter how you beautify it, Conqueror King. "Sei Itō slowly walked towards the burly man — — the rider of this world. The Conqueror King, Iskandar, and his master — — Webb said.
"Oh? Looks like you aren't an ordinary spectator. "The Conqueror King sized up Sei Itō with interest.
"Who are you! Some other master? "Webb's body tensed up. His face was filled with unconcealable nervousness as he asked with a trembling voice.
"Nope. I'm just a night roaming magician." Sei Itō said softly with a smile.
"M-Magician!? Not a master? "Webb exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course." Sei Itō said with a chuckle.
"But before saying anything more, it's best we leave this place. You don't want to spend the night in the police station, right? "Without waiting for Webb or the Conqueror King to speak, Sei Itō reminded them once again.
As soon as he said that, Webb finally noticed the increasingly urgent alarm bells.
"Quickly disappear! Disappear now! Disappear immediately! "Webb shouted at the Conqueror King with a flustered expression.
"Oh, oh. Then I'll leave the moving to you. Be careful not to drop it. "The Conqueror King said as he placed the book in Webb's arms without any hint of nervousness.
Then, his figure turned illusory and disappeared into thin air.
Heroic Spirits' inherent skill, Spirit Transformation.
"Ahhh. Seriously — — Why — — Did it become like this!? " Webb, who was hugging the book, shouted loudly. Then, without any hesitation, he quickly ran off into the distance.
"As expected of the most interesting duo in this world's Holy Grail War. They are indeed worthy of being left to the end like in the original work." Seeing Webb run off, Sei Itō muttered to himself with an amused expression on his face.
Then, he took a step forward and chased after Webb at a seemingly slow but actually fast speed.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that Webb stopped on a deserted street. He bent over with his hands on his knees and gasped for breath.
"You still lack training, Webb Velvet." Sei Itō, who had appeared near him at some point, said softly.
However, in order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Sei Itō did not get too close to the panting Webb. Of course, even if he wanted to get close, he would need to break through the Conqueror King's obstruction.
"You know me?" Webb said in astonishment when he heard his name being called out by a stranger.
"You contradicted Kenneth in class. Your reputation in the Chronometer Tower isn't weak." Sei Itō chuckled.
"You're also a magician of the Chronometer Tower?" Webb's expression was filled with vigilance.
"Then, let's formally introduce ourselves. I'm Sei Itō. "Sei Itō said formally with a smile.
