When we returned from Avalon to the modern world, it was already late at night. The sky was filled with stars and the cold moon hung in the sky. Due to the collapse of the entire building, Wei Gong's residence seemed strange and dazzling under the night sky, but it was quiet.
The owner of the residence, Shiro Wei Gong and his servant Saber were standing at the entrance of the dojo. Due to our prior agreement, the two of them didn't enter the dojo. It was only when the dojo's door was pushed open from the inside that they came forward to welcome us.
"Has Genban already left?"
I didn't see the red-clothed twintailed lady. Even though I was already certain, I still asked casually.
"He returned long ago. After all, it's already so late."
Wei Gong nodded, then asked impatiently, "Where's Sakura? How is she now? "
Previously, we only told him that we could help him get rid of the Engraved Insect in Sakura's body and heal her damaged body, but we didn't tell him the exact process. Wei Gong was naturally anxious when he didn't see Sakura coming out with us.
"She's currently in a very safe place." I waved my hand at Wei Gong. "Using our technology to heal her, no one can disturb her. However, the entire process shouldn't take more than a few days. How about you?"
"What do you mean how?" Wei Gong blinked in confusion. "Is there a problem with me?"
"What do you intend to do now? Learn swordsmanship from Saber for a night, break through to the peak of the Gold Core on the second day, and on the third day, use a five-colored magic cloud to wipe out the entire Jiantong family? "
"Even though I don't know what you're talking about, it sounds really bad …"
Shiro Wei Gong listened to my words with his mouth agape. Then, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking at his gaze, I was surprised to find that this fellow seemed to have changed slightly.
He had the thought of becoming a partner of justice, and he even seriously treated it as his life goal. Such a seemingly childish ideal might seem childish at first, but if you knew that not only did he persist in this ideal his entire life, he even fought for it in the end, becoming a guardian of the Alaya Faction and obtaining heroic spirit achievements, then the word 'childish' would no longer be enough to describe his perseverance.
His simple-mindedness was even more exaggerated than that of the Shiring Apostles!
Well, the above sentence is actually a compliment. Do you believe it?
A simple-minded individual would always be terrifying once they persevered. The Shiring Apostles, who had once been as weak as ordinary humans, managed to reach the level of Gods due to their inability to understand failure. Wei Gong, who had infused his soul with the path of justice, transformed into a heroic spirit with a human body. These were all simple-minded individuals. That was why, seeing how Wei Gong was now actively trying to become stronger, I wouldn't underestimate his currently pitifully small progress and hard work.
Not only that, I could faintly sense that this Wei Gong was slightly different from the original Wei Gong. Although he still had the personality of an incorrigible good guy, the Wei Gong before me seemed to be more decisive and had more goals. Perhaps this was a subtle change due to him knowing about Sakura's situation beforehand. I didn't know if his belief in "ultimate justice" would change because of this, or perhaps he might even deny it. But at the very least, the real Wei Gong seemed far more pleasing to the eye than the original.
"Continue to work hard, young man." I patted Wei Gong's shoulder and a bright smile flashed across my lips. "But at this time, it seems like you should rest."
Sandora immediately tugged on my sleeve and said pitifully, "But Ah Jun, I haven't had dinner yet …"
Were the few kilograms of fruits you ate in Avalon just snacks?
Also, how should I put it, when Sandora said the word 'dinner', a certain young man who claimed to be a righteous emissary and heroically wanted to save the entire human race instantly hunched over. His calves and stomach trembled as he prepared to run away.
Young man Wei Gong, what's the meaning of your reaction! Do you still look like a great hero who saves the world? Does this still match your style as the main character in the original? Don't be scared to this extent by a simple-minded blonde girl's words! Pull yourself together for the audience and go cook for my girlfriend!
Alright, I'm sorry, I apologize. Sandora's dinner is indeed enough to make a normal person run away in fear. As the host, it's already good enough that you managed to hold on until now.
It was already past 10 at night, Lei Zi and Pandora must have returned to their rooms to sleep. Also, looking at the tragic state of Wei Gong's residence, it was a bit too cruel to let the victim, Wei Gong, endure the trauma of his body and mind to prepare dinner for a foodie. In fact, in less than two days, the food Sandora ate was equivalent to a month's worth of food for Wei Gong. In order to prevent a caring young man from starving to death because of a foodie, I decisively pulled Sandora out to look for food after saying goodbye to Wei Gong.
"Wu, Ah Jun, I want to eat a few tables of Manchu Han Imperial Feast …"
Rubbing her stomach, the Queen, who was hungry because she didn't eat dinner on time, made a request that would make people want to cry.
It was too frightening. Without the support of the Empire's logistics, having such a girlfriend was too frightening.
But how should I put it, as long as I didn't make any special requests, Sandora was actually quite easy to raise.
Although her appetite was frightening, one good thing about Sandora was that she wasn't picky about her food. Yep, she wasn't picky about her food at all. This miraculous girl could eat anything according to the periodic table of the elements, and she didn't have any requirements for nutrition. If it wasn't for the fact that I spoiled her, I would probably find a random grassland and let Sandora out to find food on her own during the day. At night, I would call her back and comfort her, and she would still be able to survive …
Er, if there wasn't any grassland, I could probably just toss her onto an uninhabited planet. All I had to do was watch the planet's gravity plummet and quickly retrieve her.
Should I call this a free-range Sandora cultivation plan?
"Ah Jun, why do I feel like you're thinking of many, many rude things?"
Sandora suddenly stopped in her tracks and tilted her head slightly, speaking in a rather dangerous tone.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about what kind of dinner would be suitable for you!" Cold sweat flowed down the back of my head, but I replied calmly.
The heavens have mercy on me, this sentence definitely wasn't false at all! I was indeed thinking about all of this just now.
"Oh, is that so?" Sandora, who was used to believing whatever I said, nodded her head in agreement foolishly. Then, she suddenly cheered as though she had discovered a new continent. She grabbed my arm and ran in a certain direction, "Ah Jun! There really is food in front! "
I was almost thrown into the air by Sandora. I barely managed to keep up with the queen who only had food in her mind. Only then did I have the time to focus my gaze in front of me. As expected, there was a small barbecue stall that was still open on the side of the street not far away.
Because there were many residents nearby and there was a theater that was open late, it was normal for there to be one or two barbecue stalls that were open until 11 at night. However, it was a bit surprising to meet a girl who always behaved like a well-behaved and well-mannered lady at a barbecue stall like this.
"Rin!" I greeted him, and Sandora, who was next to me, already started to urge the stall owner to barbecue all the food for her.
"Wah, alien … cough cough," Rin almost choked on a forbidden word. He coughed violently for a long time before he managed to catch his breath, "Chen-kun, are you out for barbecue this late at night?"
I helplessly looked at Sandora, who was already grinding her teeth, "My girlfriend is hungry."
Then, Miss Rin respectfully said, "Oh."
"As for you, with your identity, is it really okay for you to eat barbecue outside at 11 at night?"
"I suddenly wanted to come out to relax, and I just happened to see this barbecue stall."
Rin said as if he didn't care. However, he still felt a bit awkward when he raised the barbecue meat in his hand. No matter what, she was used to showing her perfect side in front of others, but now she was caught eating barbecue meat at a barbecue stall at night with her mouth covered in oil. It was a bit embarrassing.
Also, it was obvious that she didn't tell the truth. Maybe it wasn't to guard against me, the "alien", but she didn't want an ordinary person like the barbecue uncle to get involved.
Just as I was thinking about the barbecue uncle, the stall owner's voice sounded next to me with serious confusion and suspicion. It was as if he had just denied his own worldview, "Customer …"
I could pretty much guess what he wanted to say, so I replied without raising my head, "Just barbecue whatever this girl wants, she can finish it."
The stall owner's tone was full of sorrow, "It's not like that. This lady just bit a stainless steel plate …"
I turned around in fright. Sandora turned around and smiled brightly at me while biting on the plate that was seriously deformed and clearly missing a small piece.
Oh no! This silly girl is used to eating a plate at home!!
I couldn't remember what kind of expression the stall owner had on his face when he finally sent off troublemakers like us. In the end, I bought the plate that Shadora had bitten off because I didn't dare to imagine how shocked the stall owner would be when he realized that the stainless steel plate didn't just have a few bite marks on it. Shadora held a large pile of barbecue in her hands and followed us as we strolled through the quiet park in the middle of the night with a carefree smile on her face. Her behavior made Rin Enaka, who had come with us, look of disbelief on his face the entire time.
When we first met, Sandora's noble and elegant image was always deeply engraved in people's hearts. Even a young lady like Rin, who had received a real noble education from a big family, was deeply impressed by Sandora's gaze. But compared to her usual cold and noble appearance in front of others, this girl's completely broken image when she started eating was probably more memorable.
"Coming out so late, it shouldn't be as simple as just taking a stroll, right?"
I glanced at Rin, who was silent next to me, then said in an indifferent tone. At the same time, my spiritual power slightly vibrated, and the surrounding energy immediately became chaotic. Archer, who was invisible in his spirit form, also appeared with a surprised expression.
"Stealth and peeping are the exclusive rights of aliens." Facing the dissatisfied look of the man in the red trench coat, I lightly replied. As a result, on the other side, Rin complained on the spot, "Don't mention it, after knowing that there are often aliens secretly taking pictures on earth, I didn't sleep a wink that night!"
I replied with a smirk, I'm sorry, Miss, I let you be too arrogant.
"Because Archer found something here, so I came to check it out."
Considering that there was no conflict of interest, and she was currently considered half one of us, Rin didn't let my doubts linger for too long. As for what she said about "found something", it was most likely the traces of activities of hostile magicians.
According to Rin, she and Archer had been wandering around the area at night for the past two days, but so far, they had found nothing.
It would seem that even outside of the chaotic and joyous daily life of the Shrine Residence, the undercurrents of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City had never stopped. It was just that it was unknown how much of this undercurrent had subtly changed due to our arrival in Fuyuki City.
"As a magician, it seems that it's really hard."
Without the slightest pretense, I sighed completely from the bottom of my heart. If she was an ordinary girl at Rin's age, she should still be studying peacefully at school, enjoying the love of her parents at home, occasionally going out shopping and having fun with her friends. However, the girl in front of me had to shoulder the burden of the entire family, and even struggle in the so-called Holy Grail War, where she could lose her life at any time. Even though there were already a bunch of dolls biting on lollipops at home who came out to save the world, I still felt that Rin was quite amazing.
"It's ridiculous, isn't it? Humans in your eyes."
I didn't know what Rin suddenly thought of, but she suddenly said such a sentence.
"I can see how powerful your technology is. Although it's strange for a magician to say such a thing, powerful heroic spirits can't even deal with your children, and human civilization as a whole is probably not much better than paramecia in your eyes, right? But no matter how ridiculous it is in your eyes, for me, it's very important. "
"I think you misunderstood …" I hurriedly explained, but just as I opened my mouth, a wave of energy swept over from afar and interrupted my next words.
Sandora and I looked at each other, and we immediately opened a spatial invisibility field. At the same time, we also folded Rin and Archer into the spatial rift.
Although Rin didn't know what the invisible barrier that suddenly appeared in front of her was, and how effective it was at invisibility, it was obvious that the enemy who was rapidly approaching couldn't give her any more time to prepare and dodge. Coupled with her trust in our strength, she could only obediently stay in the same place, vigilantly looking towards the north.
A blurry dot was rapidly enlarging, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than a hundred meters in front of us. It turned out that it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wearing a simple pink dress, with shoulder-length blonde hair, and an arrogant expression on her face.
The only thing that didn't match her cute appearance was the huge amount of magic that she emitted in an instant. She couldn't hide it, or maybe she didn't even bother to hide it. The magic of the nameless girl in front of us almost made the surrounding air thicken.
"Strange, why is there no one?"
Thanks to our astonishing hearing … Fine, we were able to clearly hear her muttering to herself through an invisible listening device that was currently hovering next to the mouth of a certain wild girl. It was obvious that she knew of our existence from the very beginning and was rushing over here. However, due to the effects of the invisibility field, we had lost sight of her.
"Who's this girl?"
Sandora asked through the mental connection as she nibbled on the meat skewer in her hand. To her, the greatest significance of the mental connection wasn't the convenience of battlefield communication, but the fact that she didn't have to stop to eat while talking.
"Only the heavens know." That was the only reply I could give. Although I knew more about the plot than Sandora, it seemed that such a girl didn't exist in the original work, right?
Er, wait a minute, it wasn't necessarily that she didn't exist. A terrible thought flashed through my mind.
The nameless wild girl surveyed the surroundings, but she didn't see any sign of the enemy. She didn't even notice any energy fluctuations. She immediately revealed an extremely angry expression and stomped her foot heavily. "Damn it! It's all that idiot spearman's fault! He actually dared to deceive this king. When we return, I'll definitely make that lowly commoner die ten thousand times! "
This king? This kind of catchphrase seems to be …
It can't be, has this world really gone berserk?
Oh my Jingle! Don't tell me that this hot-blooded and idiotic little girl in front of me, who is only 1.6 meters tall including Ahoge, is actually golden! Damn it, this is an extremely rigorous and hot-blooded messianic sci-fi novel, alright!
But, I really hate this word to death. However, it seems that the heavens are intentionally going against me today. Just as a seemingly golden little girl aroused my desire to roast, something else that makes my balls hurt happens without any warning.
There's no mistaking it. It's the high-pitched screech of a huge mass cutting through the air at high speed, shuttling through the atmosphere. Not counting the time I heard it, I have already heard this sound twice!
It's another landing pod, isn't it?! Where did this Landing Pod come from this time!
The desire to roast in my heart made me flip the imaginary tea table uncontrollably. What made me flip the table even more was the emergency communication from the Shadow Base that sounded in my mind. "Reporting, Sir! There's an emergency! "
"Speak, Seves, I can handle it."
"Little Bubble secretly climbed into a New Eden Federation battlecruiser that was undergoing maintenance at the spaceport. Then, the entire battlecruiser was suddenly activated and rushed through the World Gate!"
At this moment, my face was covered in tears, but I forced myself to calm down and comfort the executives of the Empire's capital who were probably in a complete mess. "It's okay, that silly child is already here. Just tell me if that battlecruiser will fall from outer space into Fuyuki City …"
