Today's Fantasy Land was as peaceful as ever.
When Tang Hao and his party arrived at Fantasy Land, it was morning. Time here was slightly faster than in Xingyue. In the courtyard of the Red Devils, sprites could be seen dancing and playing happily.
Tang Hao felt that these sprites were probably the most carefree group of people in the world. They did not need to work, nor did they need to worry about the future, nor did they need to work hard for their lives. They did not need to become mortgage slaves in order to start a family. Of course, there was no life-and-death struggle like the White Album. Every day, they just ate, drank, and played. One day passed, and then another day continued to repeat this life. Although it was somewhat monotonous, it really highlighted a free and happy life. After all, they did not even need to worry about food and shelter themselves. Instead, it was fully provided by the rich Remilia.
Compared to the Servants of the Xingyue world, who were busy and fought to the death, but in the end, they were all in vain, these sprites were really much happier.
Of course, it might just be because their requirements were too low.
Tang Hao took out a piece of bread from his favorite folder and stretched out his hand toward the sprites. Several sprites quickly flew over and grabbed the bread and fought in mid-air. But even though it was a fierce fight for food, these sprites did not show the slightest bit of anger. Instead, they all had smiles on their faces. Although it was a fight for food, to them, it was just a game.
Walking out of the serious and tense Holy Grail War and seeing such a group of sprites laughing and playing in front of him, Tang Hao suddenly felt extremely relaxed, as if all his worries and pressure did not exist.
Yu Ji once complained that he regarded Fantasy Land as his back garden. In a way, this was not wrong.
His own world was too ordinary. Although there was his real home there, because of all kinds of incredible adventures, even if he returned to his own world and put himself in the position of an ordinary person, he could no longer look at everything in that world with the eyes of an ordinary person. For example, he used to be envious of the rich second generation. On Valentine's Day or Chinese Valentine's Day, he saw the streets full of couples. Even the Internet and computers were filled with the sour smell of love. It was inevitable that he would feel lonely and melancholy. But now, he no longer had such emotions.
Because in the end, he was no longer ordinary.
However, the Fantasy Village was different. It was the first mysterious world that he had come into contact with. Before coming to the Fantasy Village, he had also been to the world of Ye Liangjin, the world of the Realm of Swords and Sabers, and the world of Moon. According to the sequence, the Fantasy Village was the fifth alternate world that he had arrived at. However, when he was invited into the chat room by Yakumo Zi, he had already formed an indissoluble bond with the Fantasy Village.
Admittedly, he was just a little brother here. From Amethyst to Kaguya and Remilia, he couldn't defeat any of them. Occasionally, he would run into some trouble, but no matter what happened, he would face it with a relaxed mood. No matter what happened, it wouldn't be a real problem.
Illusion Village was a paradise for monsters.
For him, it was also a place where he could completely relax.
Here, there was no death, no killing, no hatred, and no sense of urgency like when he was adventuring in other worlds. It was as if he was walking in his own backyard, and he didn't need to worry about anything.
Of course, Fantasy Village wasn't an absolutely beautiful world. Since it was called a paradise for monsters, it was probably a different scene for the humans living here. Even if the Eight Purples set the rule that monsters were not allowed to eat humans, and even if there were witches like Boli guarding the balance between the two, there would still be some trouble. There would still be a few people who didn't follow the rules. Otherwise, there wouldn't be countermeasures against monsters and the like.
The beauty on the surface of Fantasy Village was built on the foundation of cruelty and darkness in the past, and this cruelty and darkness would not completely disappear with time. Perhaps at the moment when he was sighing about how beautiful and peaceful Fantasy Village was, there would be humans being attacked by monsters in a place that he couldn't see.
But, what did this have to do with him?
He was neither the Virgin Mary nor a savior, and he had never longed for a world without darkness. What he saw was the peaceful Fantasy Village in front of him, and what he needed was this peace and beauty. As for the bad, dark, and cruel things, Amethyst and Souldream would naturally solve them. He didn't need to worry about them, and it wasn't his turn to worry about them.
In other worlds, he was the guardian, the game-breaker, and the key to solving problems.
But in this Fantasy Village, he was the one being protected, and he only wanted to be the one being protected. Just like the sprites in the Red Devils, he didn't have the slightest worry.
Therefore, for Tang Hao, Fantasy Village was equivalent to his second home. There were no thrilling adventures at home, and he didn't need to play the role of a hero. He just needed to enjoy the peace and stability.
"Wow! Sprites! Are these … Sprites? "
Tang Hao looked at these sprites and smiled calmly, but at the same time, the others weren't so calm. Miss Okita, Rin Enosaka, and Ilya all widened their eyes and exclaimed.
"They really are sprites? I've read about them in the literature before. Although their appearance is slightly different, it is said that they died during the Kanzaki period. I didn't expect them to still exist here … "
"The shogunate era that I lived in had no magic, no mystery, and I've never even ridden a horse before. This is the first time I've seen these fantasy creatures that only occasionally appear in stories. It's amazing! Patsy, this world is amazing! "
"What a cute sprite. When I watched anime, magical girls would always have such cute little animals around them. There were even humanoid ones … Unfortunately, they seem a little too big?"
Rin Enosaka and Miss Okita expressed their emotions about the existence of the sprites. Little Ilya, on the other hand, had a different focus. She felt that as a magical girl, she wasn't mature enough. Could it be because she lacked such a little creature? For example, Magical Girl Naomi and Moka Maiden Sakura. Didn't the magical girls in anime have such little creatures with them?
If she could have one, she might be able to become a magical girl who could take charge of everything.
"Iria-chan, I can't pretend that I didn't hear what you just said." Ruby was instantly displeased. "Don't you already have me? Stop fantasizing about those unrealistic magical creatures."
"It's not unrealistic. Look, aren't there sprites here? And …" Little Ilya pouted. "Ruby, you're a magic wand."
"Although I'm a magic wand, I can speak and teach you how to use magic. This isn't something a magic wand can do. Do you know why the main characters in magical girl anime always have a magical creature with them? "
"Because … they're magical girls?"
"Of course not. It's because their wands can only be used as wands, so they need a magical creature to act as their mascot and teacher. I've already taken care of both tasks, so I'm not only your wand, but also your magic teacher, and your mascot. Can you find a second wand that's as good as this?"
"…" Sapphire didn't say anything. She just quietly listened to Ruby's bragging.
Little Ilya frowned. "Ruby, you're really powerful, but … you're not cute enough as a mascot, right?"
Ruby was speechless.
What did she just say?
"Ilya, you've become bad."
"Eh, really? I'm just speaking the truth. "
"Then I'll be even sadder …"
Tang Hao did not know if it was real or just an act, but Ruby sounded a little depressed. It floated crookedly in the air before Tang Hao grabbed it. "Alright, alright. If you want to show off your treasure, we can talk about it later. Let's go into the house first. Xiao Ying should be up by now."
Hearing that, Rin Harasaka immediately stopped paying attention to the sprites and followed Tang Hao into the house.
It was common knowledge that bats were nocturnal creatures. Although Reemilia's lifestyle had changed after entering the Fantasy Village and she would often appear during the day, she was still a bat spirit. Her lifestyle couldn't be completely changed. She probably still maintained her nocturnal habits half the time.
Of course, it was also possible that she was lazy.
After all, anyone would become lazy if they were taken care of by an all-around maid like Dark Night. Then, they would gradually become useless and become inseparable from Dark Night. Just like how people needed water, air, sunlight, and sand sculptures to live, Reemilia needed Dark Night, Dark Night, Dark Night, and Dark Night.
Wait? Was this actually Dark Night's conspiracy?
Tang Hao's imagination ran wild. As soon as he stepped into the house of the Red Fiend, Dark Night's figure appeared in front of him. She bowed slightly and said in her usual calm and indifferent tone, "Welcome back, Miss Patchouli. Guests, please come in. "
Tang Hao was a little unhappy. He had been in and out of the Red Fiend for at least a dozen times. They were considered acquaintances. Why did she still receive the same treatment as newcomers like Rin Harasaka? Did Dark Night also read minds? She knew that I missed her so much, so she didn't say welcome back?
Patchouli nodded gently. Dark Night maintained her identity as a maid and always acted like this, so she seemed a little casual. "Where's Sakura?"
"She's in the kitchen. She should be out soon."
"What is she doing in the kitchen?" asked Tang Hao.
"She said that she didn't want to give us too much trouble. Since last month, she has solved all the housework by herself. At first, I was worried that she wouldn't do a good job, but after observing her for a few days, she's fine. She can even help me occasionally, which makes me feel a little more relaxed."
As Dark Night said so, Tang Hao nodded secretly. It was said that the children of the poor matured early. Although Sakura was still young, she had experienced too many changes. In addition, she was living under someone else's roof. Even if Reemilia and the others wouldn't say anything, she would definitely feel psychological pressure, so she tried to be independent, which was a good thing.
Thinking of this, Tang Hao couldn't help but glance at Rin Harasaka.
Perhaps it was because they were both biological sisters, but this was especially obvious in Rin Harasaka. After the Fourth Holy Grail War, Toshinobu Enaka was seriously injured and couldn't get up, so Akui Harasaka needed to take care of her husband. That was when she started to become independent … Of course, it was even more so in the original world line.
But now that the Harasaka family had come, where would Sakura go?
Just as he was thinking, crisp footsteps sounded, and a little girl around six or seven years old walked out with a schoolbag.
Seeing this little girl, Rin Harasaka was stunned … She looked familiar, very familiar. Even though ten years had passed, she couldn't forget how her younger sister looked when she left, so she recognized her at a glance. But …
Impossible, right?
Ten years had passed!
"She …"
Just as Rin Harasaka opened her mouth, Sakura ran over happily. "Brother!"
"Yeah." Tang Hao smiled and patted her head. Patting didn't work on Yin-Yang Warriors, but it was quite effective on Sakura, and the latter couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
Then, Tang Hao pulled Sakura over to Rin Harasaka. "Do you know this big sister?"
Sakura took a few careful glances, and Tang Hao could see a trace of confusion and confusion in her eyes, but in the end, she shook her head.
Although Tang Hao didn't say anything, Rin Harasaka already knew that this little girl might be her younger sister. Otherwise, Tang Hao wouldn't have pulled her to him, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
In Tang Hao's opinion, it was only natural that Sakura couldn't recognize Rin Harasaka. After all, the time gap between the two was too big, and their memories of each other stopped at ten years ago. Just as Rin Harasaka couldn't have imagined that Sakura was still the same as before, Sakura couldn't have imagined that her loli sister had already lived through ten years and grown into a beautiful young girl.
But then again, she probably felt a little familiar.
As Tang Hao thought about it, he immediately introduced, "Her name is Rin, Rin Harasaka."
"…"
Sakura's eyes widened in disbelief, and her eyes darted between Tang Hao and Rin Harasaka. But soon, she seemed to think of something, and a timid look appeared on her face as she timidly hid behind Tang Hao.
Rin Harasaka was stunned, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he found that he didn't know where to start.
The atmosphere became a little stiff for a moment, and after a while, it was Black Night who broke the silence. "Sakura, since your sister is here to see you, you don't have to go to class today. I'm going to World Reason anyway, and I'll explain the situation to Huiyin on your behalf."
Sakura hesitated, and then nodded gently.
"Then, you two sisters can chat for a while. We'll go walk around." After Black Night left, Tang Hao winked at Rin Harasaka, and then left with the others.
Sakura's expression was a little panicked, and it was obvious that she wanted to follow them, but Tang Hao didn't call out to her, and she was at a loss.
Soon, only the two sisters were left in the hall.
"Is this really okay? She should still be scared, right? "
Patchouli returned to her library with Miss Okita. Ilya was not a naughty person, but Ruby was very noisy. With Patchouli's permission, she forced Ilya and Sapphire to stroll around the Red Devil Dojo. She said that she wanted to see the world with the Originator.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao and Yu Ji brought Big Ilya to the Eternal Pavilion.
Yu Ji had heard about Sakura and the Harasaka family from Tang Hao a long time ago. So, at this moment, she didn't quite understand Tang Hao's actions. It was obvious that Tang Hao deliberately made the sisters stay, not just to resolve the stiff relationship between them.
"You want her to go back?"
Tang Hao didn't explain. He smiled faintly, and after a while, he said, "Belonging is very important. No matter who you are, you need a place to belong. Living under someone else's roof will always be burdened, and wandering around will always be tired. No matter when and where, people will always yearn to go home. "
Yu Ji pondered over this sentence and nodded to herself.
In the past, she was a homeless wanderer. Although that kind of life seemed free and romantic, the loss and loneliness inside was not something that outsiders could understand. Whether it was in reality or in the soul, there was no place to go. Such a life was just living.
"But, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"Yes." Tang Hao nodded. Letting Sakura accept the Harasaka family again could be simple, or it could be very difficult. It wasn't something he could do with a little matchmaking. Moreover, he couldn't guarantee that his way of thinking would be suitable for Sakura. "No matter what, let's wait and see. In the end, she has to make her own choice."
Not long after, the two arrived at the Eternal Pavilion. Of course, there was also Big Ilya.
When they left the Moon World, Big Ilya had been unconscious, and she hadn't woken up until now. After all, compared to her physical injuries, the loneliness in her heart was a more serious condition. So, Tang Hao had made her sleep. But … he had originally planned to ask for Ilya's opinion before deciding whether to bring her over. Now, it seemed a little forced.
And this time, he came to the Eternal Pavilion mainly for two things. One was to have Yong Lin take a look at her, hoping to remove the hidden danger in Ilya's body without causing any damage.
If it was just to restore her to a normal state, the previous Tang Hao could also do it. But that would make her magic circuits disappear, and for a magician, that was equivalent to destruction.
And now, the power of the [Origin] had disappeared along with his departure, so naturally, the divine gynecologist no longer existed.
That kind of conceptual power was only temporary.
In the end, he still had to rely on Yong Lin.
"Then, what about the medical fees?"
Yong Lin was a professional doctor … right? She examined Ilya's body very seriously, and indeed guaranteed that it could be treated. Without damaging the magic circuits, the body's functions could be restored to a normal person's standard, or even higher. This made Tang Hao very happy, but what she said next made him dumbfounded.
"Huh? There's still medical fees? "
Yong Lin looked as if she was looking at an idiot. "That's strange. Don't tell me you don't need to pay when you see a doctor? Do you think everyone in a white coat is an angel? "
Of course not everyone in a white coat isn't an angel, but you're not wearing a white coat either.
Tang Hao complained to himself, but he asked, "Alright, how much?"
"I don't want money."
"Huh?" Tang Hao was about to take out money, but he was stunned again. "Are you messing with me?"
"I'm not messing with you. Do you think I look like I need money?" Yong Lin's expression was very serious, very serious, and also very shiny, as if she was saying that she did not lack money.
Of course, other than Ling Meng who was really poor, poor in both money and chest, the rest of the bosses in Fantasy Land were basically all tycoons. Even Marisa was a famous collector … Although most of her collections were stolen, in this aspect, she was even more shameless than Ling Meng.
"Since you don't want money, then what do you want?"
"I have a list here …" Yong Lin immediately took out a list, as if she had prepared it a long time ago. Tang Hao looked at it carefully and felt that it looked familiar … Eh, that's not right! Weren't the things on this list the wager that he had made with Hui Ye last time?!
Previously, Kaguya had made a bet with Yu Ji as his wife. In the beginning, if he lost, he would let Yong Lin test the medicine. However, Yong Lin probably knew about the bet, so the wager was changed to a list of strange herbs. Tang Hao did not care about it at that time. Anyway, in terms of threat, the new wager was safer.
After that, not only did he win, but he also successfully won the beauty's heart. He did not take the list to heart, but he did not expect to see it again.
"I say, have you been waiting to scam me for a long time?" Tang Hao looked at Yong Lin suspiciously, "The herbs on your list are a little too strange. What Devil Fruit, Dragon Heart, Phoenix Feather, and even God's Blood? Not only do I feel baffled, but my liver also hurts … Speaking of which, can't you use love to generate electricity?"
"Sorry, we Moon people don't use love to generate electricity." Eight Will Yonglin said emotionlessly, "Also, you should know that this girl has been modified to an extreme degree. Even if it was me, I would have to spend a lot of energy and a lot of precious herbs to completely eradicate her problem. This is already a bargain for you."
Tang Hao did not quite believe it. This old woman was so evil, she must be lying to him.
Unfortunately, he did not know this line of work and had no evidence.
He could not help but pick up the list and look at it again. The Devil Fruit was easy to get. He could probably get it in the world of One Piece. The Dragon Heart and the like should not be difficult either. Anyway, no matter how low level a dragon was, it was still a dragon. As for God's Blood … He did not know if he could find it in the toilet if he went to the Shouya Shrine now. After all, there were two gods living there. Menstrual blood was also God's Blood.
Eh, wait a minute! Would a god have menstruation?
"Anyway, this is the price. Of course, I do not require you to pay immediately. After all, I am still very tolerant. I can even wait for 30 to 50 years. "
"Alright, alright …" Since she said so, Tang Hao did not bargain anymore. Anyway, he already owed a lot of debts. No matter how much he owed, it would not be a burden. Besides, in this day and age, the one who owed the debt was the boss!
"Then I will leave this child to you."
"Of course, the next time you see her, I guarantee that she will be alive and kicking. Don't talk about raising her as a daughter, she can even be your wife."
What she said …
Tang Hao suddenly felt a little excited. However, looking at Yong Lin's eager expression, he still felt that he had been tricked.
