Chapter 24: Encounter
Sakura is a girl who doesn't trust anyone easily, but that doesn't mean she's a person who will be suspicious and act on unfounded ideas, on the contrary, because of her past, she knows better that it's best to act later. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Just like the doubts that popped up in Sakura's mind when she first woke up after that coma, Sakura still has a lot of questions in her mind now, but unlike knowing nothing at that time, Sakura now has doubts that arise incidentally after she has already been convinced of something.
The father and daughter are very suspicious, although the "suspicions" from beginning to end are different, or rather, by now, they are no longer suspicious, but "there are still some mysteries", but this does not prevent Sakura from thinking about the current situation and making the most correct choice in her opinion.
That man, let's call it "Ken" for the time being, after all, whether it is his real name or not is still up for debate, he is a magician, even if he adds a "former" word, it cannot be denied that he has the identity of a magician, and moreover, he is a very good magician.
Magicians are lonely, cold, and ruthless, and no matter how noble they are, they cannot change the use of words such as "pursuit of truth" and "exploration of mystery", and all magicians are "crazy" and "sensible".
And what happened to Ken, all his actions showed that his surroundings were dangerous, definitely much more dangerous than Fuyuki's welfare home that had "difficulty recruiting new students" in the past two years, if he was really a kind and kind magician who had reformed himself, would he make such a move?
Well, just think that this "former magician" has been single for too long, his spirit has been sublimated, his kindness is abundant, and he is bathed in the light of love and justice, so he has made such a brainless act.
So, how to explain the faint smell of blood that Sakura, who has gained some extraordinary sense of smell due to the previous "meowization", in Ken's study, and it is easy to determine that the source of this smell is Mr. Ken's "long-abandoned" magician's workshop, which has not been used except for "occasionally" needing to study Aki's condition~
Is it killing chickens? But Sakura's memory doesn't have any fresh meat, and I don't see what kind of living things Mr. Ken buys to come back to cook, it seems that Mr. Ken has special breeding or hunting skills~
However, it's not strange that a magician needs to use blood to perform magic or something, it's just that to maintain this level of blood, there is almost no change, this frequency is a little fast, this "former magician" is really diligent~
Of course, it is not excluded that Mr. Ken, who is not a good cook, is honing his cooking skills and then failing, right, although no one has seen or found any traces in the study, and the number of failures is a bit high......
Hmm~ Sure enough, Mr. Ken, who is not good at cooking, is unexpectedly very good at cleaning~
Then, talking about the sad story that happened this afternoon~ What is the name of the previous one, three, three, three deer? No, it's the third wife, Sakura has a very good memory.
I remember the time before, it was really scary to see Ken's injury, but what was a little surprising was that he recovered so quickly, obviously when he first came back, he was still out of breath and exhausted, but he just rested for a while, and he completely recovered, if Sakura's memory is correct, in fact, the wounds on Ken's body seem to be some inconsequential positions......
In addition, Xiao Aiqi is not injured at all, and in such a situation, a child can be protected intact, and while facing two enemies that are not weak, he only suffered some terrifying-looking minor injuries, and his strength should not be underestimated.
But it was in such a situation that the boy who had no power in front of the magician died, which was really a bit of a surprise, of course, what does it matter if an ordinary person is killed by a magician in a head-to-head battle?
For Sakura, who has been transformed and persecuted by magicians, such a thing should be normal, but it turns out that Sakura's identity is well accepted by Ken, and of course he would not have thought that Sakura knows much more about those two enemies than he does.
Sakura's father is a person who values dignity and honor as extremely important, Sakura clearly knows how important Tosaka Toshitomi as a magician is to his identity as a "magician", such a person will give up attacking Aiqi or the third wife as an ordinary person in a place where even a desperate situation is not talked about?
Of course not!
Tosaka Tokitomi is Sakura's hated father, however, Sakura has to admit the fact that he is an elegant magician with backbone, although he doesn't know in a desperate situation, but in such a situation, Tosaka Tokitomi will definitely abide by some of the magician's stereotypes.
And the other person, it is easy to judge from Ken's description, it should be Sakura's "senior brother", that is almost completely a machine, dogma-like existence, this person is very dangerous, but now he will never do anything to kill the third wife.
If there is no strange thing, Ken's strength is only like this, then, one of Tosaka Shichen and Yanfeng entangled him, and then shot at Aiqi, who had no power to resist, where could a boy without any strength be able to stop him?
And now that this situation has happened, everything is enough for Sakura to show that there is a problem with the father and daughter, plus everything before, it shows that the magician named "Ken" definitely has bad intentions for her, and everything that is happening in this cave now also confirms Sakura's judgment.
Although she is only a beginner and a layman in magic, Sakura has no less knowledge in her mind than any good magician at this time, and this magic trick on the ground is too complicated.
If you really want to comment, Sakura has also opened the Tosaka family's magic book collection, and some of the large-scale techniques recorded in it are not so complicated with the lines on the ground, if it is really just those books that are willing to give, Sakura can be sure that she will only sigh at the complexity of this magic, and she can't see this technique, it can't be a technique used to hide and prevent at all.
So, Sakura knew that the best option now was to flee from here, and the magician's careless departure was just an opportunity, but she wanted to minimize the probability of failure, and the most unstable factor now was of course Ken's daughter, this innocent girl named Aki.
Although it was only a few moments, with Sakura's keen senses now, she clearly felt that the strangeness was the flow of magic power, and the innocent girl in front of her definitely knew a lot of her father's actions, even if she couldn't understand it......
But no matter what, Sakura could conclude that it was impossible to leave the girl who had been staring at her, so she took the best way she could come up with after thinking about it, after all, there was not a lot of time in it.
Although she left some guiding messages to Tosaka Shichen and Yan Feng, of course, she couldn't have figured it out and wanted to go back or something, just to be able to escape better, so that those forces that she couldn't resist could not reach her temporarily, but after all, this was an expedient measure, and she had to hurry up.
One hand caressed the girl in front of her who was slightly open, looking confused, Sakura's other hand held a fruit knife that was easy to find, and accurately stabbed Aki's heart, Sakura clearly knew that the reaction caused by this way was the smallest and the fastest deadly, and the person who was instantly pierced through the heart could hardly make any resistance just like now.
Because it was facing away from the other children, and because it was far away, the change here didn't attract too many people's attention, and from the perspective of a few people who noticed it, it was just that the new girl steadied the shoulders of the girl who seemed to be asleep, and gently placed it on the quilt on the ground.
Sakura gently changed the blanket on Aki's body, making it seem as if Aki was lying on her side, and besides, with the blanket there, it could delay the discovery of the flowing blood a lot.
Standing up slowly, Sakura walked towards the entrance of the cave with a blank face as usual, as if she wanted to take a look outside, and there was nothing strange about this behavior that did not make the other children care, but a few girls had the illusion that this girl with an indifferent expression might be very gentle.
Stepping on the shining magic pattern, Sakura's heart was a little surging, she clearly knew that as long as she stepped out of this hole, and then used the last exchange, then, she would finally be able to escape Although the side effects of that exchange were a little annoying, it was completely worth it!
……
On the mountain road that was not a short distance away from this cave, Ken looked at the two people standing below with some surprise, although he knew very well that once the spell on this side was activated, the huge magic fluctuations generated would be impossible to hide, but he didn't expect that the other party would come so quickly.
"As I said, Mr. Kenned, we will meet again, and this time, you will not escape from the only one." Tosaka Tokitomi said to Ken with an elegant smile on his face, in a somewhat smug tone.
"Oops~ I really didn't expect it, Mr. Tosaka, originally, I thought it would be a while before I met you, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly, and so did this Mr. Substitute~" Ken smiled and said to the two people in front of him in a calm but somewhat dangerous tone, and at the same time, the gloved hand was also clenched.
"Humph! Mr. Kenned, you are very good as a magician, but this is not the capital of your arrogance, and if you return the little girl to me, then we may be able to make you accept the sanction happily. ”
Tosaka saw that the magician in front of him had some arrogant attitude, narrowed his eyes slightly, and issued an ultimatum to Ken in a majestic voice.
"'Little girl'? Heh~ Do you really dare to say it~ Since they all claim to be magicians, why are they so hypocritical~" Ken raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Tosaka Shichen with some sarcastic eyes, but he was a little surprised to find that some doubts flashed between the other party's eyebrows.
“……”
Suddenly, the scene fell silent, Tosaka Shichen and Ken were silent for a while, they both clearly received the surprise on each other's faces, and even Yan Feng, who had not had any mood swings, frowned slightly at this time.
"Hehe~ I see, I really didn't expect it, I have to say, Mr. Tosaka, your daughter is really good~ But now, even if I want to return it to you, it's impossible~" Ken regained his previous smile in Tosaka's puzzled and surprised gaze, and said meaningfully.
At the same time, as if echoing his words, a strange light came from not far away, purple, somewhat eerie, mixed with some black......
