"As we all know, insects are afraid of fire." I am lying in ambush on the edge of the barrier of Jiantong's old house, looking down at my palm seriously.

In just one day, the doctor's face was full of inhuman vicissitudes: "What is your little head thinking now?"

"It's a pity, I don't know how to escape from fire." I shook my head regretfully, and before the doctor could take a breath, I continued, "Just playing with fire, I always have a way, doctor, can I ask you for a favor?" thing?"

Noticing the solemnity in my words, the doctor also restrained his redundant expression, "What do you mean?"

"I might be very angry when I go in later." I frowned, and there was a faint smell of corruption and despair in my nose, which was unpleasant, "I tend to lose my mind when I get angry. If you want to rob people, you can't let your temper go, please stop me when the time comes."

"...OK," probably a little surprised by my overly sober cognition, the doctor gave me an answer after a while, "but I may not be able to stop you."

I played out what might have happened in my head and realized that it might actually be the case.

After my rationality has evaporated, I have another set of logic. At that time, it may change from "don't shoot, sneak in quietly" to "as long as I kill everyone, it will be a successful infiltration".

The doctor pointed out sharply: "You berserker."

I scratched my head, showing a standard eight-toothed grin.

"You try it when the time comes, I should still be able to listen to the words." Looking at the worried doctor, I comforted him again, "Really, otherwise, there will be seniors covering the bottom line."

Probably because the reliable and stable hero played a role, the doctor nodded reluctantly.

"I'm sorry, doctor." I turned my head and glanced at the commander who has always cooperated with me sheepishly, "accompany me to mess around."

"You have a correct understanding of yourself, again and again." A projected hammer pretended to hit me on the head, and the person who made this childish behavior snorted and whispered: "...and I am the last person to blame you."

"Well, doctor, what did you say?" I tilted my ears slightly, but the last sentence was a bit vague and I didn't hear it clearly.

"It's nothing," the doctor replied loudly, and then hurriedly urged me: "Quick fight, and then go back to sleep! As a doctor, I really can't stand your disregard for your own health."

I looked at the coffee cup in his hand, and thought of his behavior of suppressing my sleep when he was the commander, and hesitated to speak.

Forget it, let's not hurt each other.

……

Thanks to Romani, who is super rich in theoretical knowledge, one of us is in charge of using our brains to direct and the other is in charge of brainless drawing, and we successfully opened an opening outside the barrier without a sound.

I carefully hugged myself into a ball, passed through the small opening that was already repairing automatically, and rolled into this dark courtyard.

The actual person in charge of the Matou family, Matou Zouken, is actually an old man who has lived for more than 500 years. This is a legend who had great wishes in his early years and could talk and laugh with von Hohenheim Paracelsus The magician is now just a person who simply does whatever it takes to live forever.

In a word, it is: 500 years of persistence.

Until the goal of this trip is achieved, it is best to avoid confrontation with this old man who has lived for nearly five centuries.

"Sneaking around is really not my style," I complained softly as I bypassed the warnings of magic tricks and bugs one after another under the doctor's command.

"Okay, okay," the doctor comforted skillfully, "When we find the cherry blossoms, I will burn this place as you like."

"You said it." My eyes lighted up slightly, and I quickly passed through plan A to plan C, which can use fire, and involuntarily accelerated my pace along the direction given on the ground.

"Yeah, I said it," the trainer Romani agreed, "Okay, let's start from here and prepare to go down."

I made my way down the stairs, holding back my slowly rising rage.

It's so late, haven't you let the child go back to rest and sleep?

The basement, what kind of place is that?

The increasingly uncomfortable rotting smell in his nose and the rustling sound of reptiles in his ears all indicated that this was a terrible place.

"doctor."

I stood at the corner of the escalator, staring at the sunken pit below.

Countless worms filled the deep pit, and also buried the girl who was ups and downs at the bottom of the pit.

But anger makes me see everything in the dark.

This is a six-year-old child who is too thin to be seen at all. Leaving aside his pale skin and bony torso, those childlike eyes that should have been clear and full of light are now out of focus and lifeless.

"doctor."

I yelled again.

"Huahua, I'm sorry," this time, the man who had always been good-tempered also showed strong mood swings. "I probably can't stop you now."

"What are you apologizing for?" I stretched my right hand forward slightly, and the humming naginata automatically slid into my palm, "It's a coincidence, that's exactly what I wanted to do."

I lowered my eyes slightly, covered the blade with my other hand, and took a deep, deep breath.

Even if you are extremely angry, don't let your emotions dominate you, Hua, calm down, and think about the purpose of your trip...

Purpose--

Yes, the purpose of my trip.

The seeds of anger are thrown into the heart of the clamoring and throbbing furnace as the fuel for all subsequent actions, so more, more anger rises.

Well done, well done, and now, this flame-

My hand covering the blade moved inch by inch, and the hot orange-red flame spread to the blade bit by bit with my movements.

This time, I didn't bother to turn the flame to the highest temperature.

It's not because of consumption, but because of consideration, the orange-red flame looks warmer than the white sunlight.

The concealment magic I put on when I sneaked in earlier was completely torn apart as soon as I let out my breath. This old house dormant in the shadows seemed to be awakened and uttered old ravings.

Here I have to say that I picked the right time.

"Good news." After changing the course of action, the doctor was finally able to let go of his hands and feet to investigate the house. After repeated sawing, he briefly occupied the absolute control of information in this direction: "Matou Zouyan is not here house, but hurry up, he's spotted our intrusion—"

"Very good," I stared at the bugs that were about to move below, and the sound of wings flapping from all directions in the air, "Then what is the current trend of the Berserker group?"

"Berserker? Wait a moment... I found it. The master and the heroic spirit are not here. At present," the doctor reported to me quickly, and only he could see the picture flashed frame by frame. "Huh? Still in Weiyuanchuan The direction is fighting with the golden Archer?!"

"King Gilgamesh?" For the first time in a sane and crazy state, my state was so-called good before, and I even glanced at the direction the doctor said from afar, seeing through the barriers of Matou's old house, After passing through the reinforced concrete, I saw the red bridge across it.

Golden ripples and continuously projected weapons, spreading black mist and irrational charges.

And this time I met a pair of red eyes that glanced over.

How many times is this coming?

I blinked, and inexplicably felt that compared with the first meeting, those eyes were more tolerant?

At this moment, I was holding a knife in my hand and preparing to go to war. It was inconvenient to meet him, so he helped me to hold Berserker back because of emotion and reason.

So I followed my heart and showed a big smile.

——Thank you!

Then he turned his head neatly, and smoothly picked up the flaming naginata in his hand.

——Thank you Mr. Jin, an enthusiastic citizen, for your help. Next, I will demolish the house!

"Last check," I slowly exhaled the hot breath that kept gathering, "How many living people are here?"

"Two, one in front of me," the doctor said succinctly, "there is another boy, an ordinary person, without a magic circuit, resting in the upper bedroom."

Since there are other people, the original idea of ​​blowing up the house cannot exist.

In any case, no matter how unbearable this place is, there must be a place for that child to live.

Now that I'm not alone, it's not too much of a hindrance to change plans on the fly.

Because I believe so much—

"Doctor, calculate," I stepped out, sank my center of gravity, and slowly raised the fully ignited naginata over my shoulders, "under the condition of retaining the superstructure—"

"At an angle of 75 degrees to the side and rear, more than ten meters away, avoid it; at an angle of 25 degrees obliquely above, load-bearing walls are seven meters away, avoid it, and the rest..." The doctor's orderly reports came one by one, and I can always trust the doctor logistical support.

"The rest of the basement can withstand the range. The attack heat is calculated... The heat is confirmed. The observed value is 1500~2000. No, it is too high. If you lower it, you will be burned into coke!"

"Understood," I pressed my shoulders and turned my wrist slightly: "Calculate again!"

"Calculating again... now the magic power observation value is 900, it is feasible!"

"confirm?"

"Confirmed!"

"Understood!" I yelled, and in my sight were demonic insects rushing like moths to a flame. I tapped my front foot to the ground, drew a semicircle, and then——

'Yan Rong! '

'Understood, ready! '

well.

The orange-red flame climbed up my arm from the hilt, and spread to my whole body under my indulgence.

So I became the brightest, most dazzling, and most inseparable existence in this dark basement.

And I fixed my burning eyes on the goal of this trip.

A large number of engraving worms took off, exposing most of the girl's body. I made too much noise, and finally made the child's slack eyes focus slightly.

flames—

"God of Fire, Kagura!"

Now is the right time to swing a knife!

The big naginata was launched from the bottom of the sky, entangled with the raging flames, and drew a perfect circle from bottom to top.

"—Bi Luotian!"

The perfect circle formed by the flames spread, and wherever it went, the flames devoured the engraving worms that followed one after another, and ashes fell one after another, paving the ground with a thick layer of scorched earth.

"Crack..."

"--boom!"

The enchantment and houses directly above were cut open by the upward knife energy, and the stars dotted with the dark blue sky shone into the dark basement, and then, the cherry blossom petals burst open one after another, forcefully crowding the entire space.

The remains of the monster insects were completely covered by petals, and the petals that manifested spiritual power were like the light cherry blossoms blooming on the branches in spring and March, crowding each other, pushing the girl named "Sakura" out of the quagmire .

So now-

"clang!"

The sound of metal and slate knocking was the sound I made when I jumped off the platform and slammed the slate with the handle of the still-burning naginata.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Hua."

The girl was lying on her back on the ground, her dim purple eyes turning slightly.

And I stood on the edge of the stairs and didn't move forward. The outside wind blows in from above, blowing my flame slightly swaying.

"Currently... it should be regarded as the enemy of the Matou family, but that's not important."

I laughed undisguisedly, the sharpness and fighting spirit have not been withdrawn from the beginning, but even worse.

"The stars outside are beautiful tonight."

... what the hell am I talking about.

I couldn't control my mouth while my back was sweating.

"Your eyes are beautiful, too."

Oops, the sequelae of too much mana consumption seem to be starting to appear.

Doctor, help, doctor, come and stop me!

The patient has symptoms of gibberish!

"—Would you like to come and watch the stars together?"

silence.

There was a long silence.

Ah, it's over.

The handsomeness played in front is destroyed at this moment.

My eyes went dark, and I almost lost my footing.

"Huahua, Huahua——" the doctor called softly, I took a deep breath back and forth, and finally stabilized.

"what happened?"

"look--"

I calmed down and found that the small body of "Sakura" surrounded by cherry blossoms staggered and got up staggeringly.

It was very difficult, and I fell down several times in the middle. I could even hear her weak and rapid panting.

But I stood still and didn't move.

The Sakura blowing snow released by Yanrong is not just a decoration, to some extent, it actually cured most of the child's losses.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, it is actually just exhaustion.

This is her abyss, her hell, and she can climb out of it by herself.

So, what I can do is to secretly increase the range of Sakura Fubuki, try to push her with cherry blossoms, surround her, and then——

Standing on the edge of the abyss, below the sky, catch her.

"It's great." I wrapped the coat I took off earlier around this thin girl, and smiled easily, "What's your name?"

The girl hadn't spoken for a long time, her mouth was extremely open and closed, and only a small air flow came out from her mouth. I didn't urge her, but just looked at her patiently and waited for her.

After several more attempts, a hoarse, intermittent voice came from the girl's mouth:

"Sa... ku... ra..."

"Okay," I nodded patiently, keeping eye level with her, "Can I call you Sakura?"

The girl didn't speak, but just looked at me without blinking, as if the previous words had used up all the strength.

"I'm sorry, although I really don't want to disturb you," the doctor who had been temporarily offline since the girl staggered over suddenly reappeared, "Huahua, we're in trouble."

"Huh?" I looked at the doctor inquiringly, and learned the news that the siege was approaching from his faintly anxious face.

It was too late to talk to this child slowly.

I scratched my head and hugged the girl tentatively. Without getting any resistance, I hugged the girl firmly.

Although a little out of strength, but this child is light, the problem is not big.

Absolutely can't leave her here alone, otherwise everything I did today will be in vain.

Take her with you until you find a home that can be properly settled.

... for what reason?

Ah, thought of it.

I began to babble seriously.

"Look, I'm an enemy of the Matou family, but I'm out of luck this time, so I missed it."

I swear, it sounds like there is such a thing.

"You know, Huahua, I never fight a losing battle!"

I swiftly jumped out of the opening on my head, but fortunately, the consumption was not as great as expected, and I was able to run.

But to my surprise, the little girl who was kidnapped by me stayed in my arms obediently and silently.

For a moment, I felt a dull pain in my conscience, but I still had to talk.

"In short, in short, you are my trophy now!"

Damn, I stuttered nervously.

Shouldn't it be discovered?

"Pfft." The doctor laughed undisguisedly from the sidelines, my scalp exploded, and I gave him a super vicious look.

It was still quite cold in the air with the wind of speeding for my life, I looked down, wrapped my coat tightly with worry, and stuffed her back.

After thinking about it, he patted his hand reassuringly with one free hand.

While planning the best route for me, the doctor came over curiously and said, "Our side is fine, now can you tell me what you asked Lord Arash to do?"

"I asked him to pawn some of the jewelry I brought, and asked him to help us bring back some food for us."

After all, I was hungry and sleepy, and I really didn't want to sleep on the hard ground. "By the way, I repaired some things in the previous building that were still usable."

"Ok?"

"Hmm, um, don't allow me to live a better life on a limited basis. I'm a little curious about what your image is like in your eyes."

"Ahahaha, this is not important, but you really need to rest."

"Yeah, I'm so sleepy... Speaking of which, I saw a few musical instruments before. I don't know if Mr. Arash has repaired them..."

"Wow?"

"Doctor, I found that you are really a qualified joker."

"Thank you? Wait... wait, what do you want an instrument for?"

"Xingxing," I gestured to the girl who was quietly listening to my bickering with the doctor, "Didn't I promise her to watch the stars?"

"little stars?"

"Yes," I replied cheerfully, "to be precise, it's the Little Star Variations. I learned it out of curiosity some time ago."

"...Is it after I'm gone?"

"……yes."

"Sakura," I smiled and pressed the girl curled up quietly in my arms, "I'll show you the beautiful starry sky, and as for the music, just make do with it."

After all, it was only learned impulsively by the experience at that time, and it was only to the extent that it could be heard.

But I still want to pass on this feeling to you.

Music that doesn't hurt and fills your stomach.

Bright stars twinkle in the sky.
