Chapter 16: A Brief Surge
Sakura looked at the magician in front of her, and quickly thought and judged in her mind, regardless of some other doubts, for the time being, this person named Ken can still be trusted, of course, this is the most shallow level of trust, that is, the level of merchants and customers.

"Sakura, that's my name."
Sakura didn't hide her real name, and she didn't seem to have any scruples about the identity of the man in front of her, "former magician", or rather, it was because she was a magician that she dared to report her real name directly without fear of being discovered by Tosaka.
Because, it is very easy to judge that the person in front of him is probably not familiar with Tosaka, if it is a magician who is familiar with Tosaka or has an intersection, then when this kind of thing happens to Tosaka's family, it is impossible for him to treat himself like this.
At the same time, it is precisely because they are magicians that they are more aware of the "ruthlessness" of being a magician, and it is impossible for strange magicians to have such a thing as "trust" most of the time, and if it is not necessary, they will even die of old age.
"Sakura? It's really a beautiful name~ But, as far as I know, in this country, it is not polite to call strangers by name~ If you don't mind, would you like to tell me your last name? ā
Obviously, the magician with a lot of experience has also seen that the young girl in front of her has wisdom and alertness far beyond her years, but this is not too difficult for the magician to accept.
"Last name? I don't have a last name. After Sakura heard the words of the magician in front of her, she replied without hesitation, just like the personal information on the afterlife terminal on her body, but with the name "Sakura".
"However, if you really want to add a surname, then it's 'Tosaka'." Without ups and downs, Sakura said to the man in front of her who had let her daughter go at some point, looking directly into his gray eyes, with a tentative and certain sense of declaration.
"......'Tosaka'~Hehe~ Then Miss Sakura, you're really unexpected, although I haven't been in contact with the 'manager' here, but I still know that the location of the Tosaka Mansion is a little far from here......"
Ken narrowed his eyes, looking at what now seemed to be "the girl who was transformed by the magician of the Tosaka family" in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking, with some defensiveness, with some scrutiny, and at the same time thinking about some possibilities that he didn't expect much, and then denied them one by one.
"So, even if that damn guy didn't show up, I barely made it." Sakura's expression didn't change, but the moment of hatred in her eyes was completely received by Ken.
"Didn't the head of the Tosaka family appear? But being able to escape from an excellent magician's workshop really impresses me~" Ken's voice was hiding something, as if he had guessed something.
āā¦ā¦ā
After Ken indirectly expressed some attitudes and doubts, Sakura unexpectedly chose to remain silent, of course she knew that there were some obvious doubts in her words, but everything she said was true.
When people have experienced a lot and grown a lot, they will trust strangers with secrets who are fully capable of mastering them more than the so-called know-how or honesty.
"Well~ Since Ai Qi found you and asked me to bring you back, I don't doubt Ai Qi's decision, besides, your current situation is not suitable for escaping from Fuyuki, right? If you get caught, it's not good to talk about the situation here~"
Ken said calmly to the cute girl sitting on the edge of the bed at this time, speaking very slowly, as if he wanted to create a sense of oppression, but the reality was that the majesty he wanted to exude was not at all~
Ken originally put a hand on his daughter's head and touched her very soft blonde hair, but when he was talking to Sakura, Aiqi directly pulled his hand off his head with some dissatisfaction, and then pulled him, shaking like a coquette, and Ken was just by his own daughter, without any stopping.
"Little Edge~Don't worry~"
When little Edge's movements were getting bigger and bigger, and they were already holding Ken's arm like a koala, Ken stopped talking to Sakura, and turned to his daughter with some distress, after Ken said this, Aki had no choice but to pout, standing on the side, quietly waiting for Ken's decision.
"Whether it's from a father's point of view, or from a magician's point of view, I can't think I'll let you out of here! What's more......" Ken's otherwise serious face smiled.
"I can't watch such a good child leave with a weak body in front of me now~ So~ I can only say a word of welcome, Sakura~ If there is anything that is not well taken care of, please forgive me!"
Ken smiled very kindly, tilted his head slightly, looked at his daughter hanging from his arm, and held out his other free hand to Sakura as a sign of welcome.
āā¦ā¦ Thank you for your generosity and kindness, Mr. Ken, and please take care of me during this time. Sakura stood up and said politely to the man in front of her, who didn't look malicious.
Just like Sakura had thought of before, in the short term, she was safe, although she knew very well that neither the magician in front of her nor herself had completely let go of her guard in her heart, but it was better.
Since Sakura was "rescued" back, and, thinking about it from many aspects, it can be concluded that this is someone who has never crossed paths before this meeting, then, there is naturally no surprise in such a development now, and it can also be said that it was destined when Sakura was discovered by Aki, and Ken just came to confirm some things.
"Hehehe~ I know that Dad, you are the best!" After hearing her father's decision, Edgie hung directly on Ken's arm and screamed with joy, and her body swayed in mid-air like a pendulum.
"Aki! Come down! It's dangerous! Ken also smiled after hearing his daughter's words, but for his daughter, who had always been in poor health, he knew very well that he should not let it go, so he had to say to Aiqi in a stern voice as much as possible.
"Hee-hee~Dad is really~ Then, I'll play with Sakura's sister~" With an innocent smile on Edge's face, Ken's very stern appearance didn't have any deterrent effect, but Ken, who had long been used to this, could only shake his head helplessly.
Of course, although Ken didn't seem to have a bit of his father's majesty, Aiqi still fell down very obediently, no longer pestering his spoiled father, and instead aimed at Sakura, who still maintained a blank face on the side.
After seeing that the matter was basically settled, Ken also touched his head, and saw that his expression was more relaxed, but, somewhat vaguely, he still did not leave Sakura's body with some deep meaning and inquiring eyes.
ā¦ā¦
Things are going smoothly on Sakura's side, but the other side is not going very well, but this is also inevitable, because the purpose of this side is actually to find Sakura, and the Tosaka family has been immersed in a kind of silence for the past two days.
Unlike before, I could always hear a vigorous and immature voice in this home calling my sister, calling for my respectful father and gentle mother, and I didn't have the small figure that went straight to the library as I used to do.
Rin stayed quietly in her room, with no expression on her face, not like before, always with a childish smile, her brows were slightly wrinkled, and the whole person was the same as the double ponytail on the back of her head, a little embarrassed, without a little energy.
She was holding a photo album that was a little too big for her body, flipping through the pages, carefully looking at each photo, which was taken with her important sister, and the only thing that could calm her heart down now.
Since she was a child, Rin has been sticking to her sister since she has a clear memory, although she has long made in her heart to follow her father's footsteps and set foot in the devil's path, but she also knows that she can't give up on her sister.
Sakura didn't like to talk much since she was a child, or maybe she was the kind of introverted personality, and Rin was for this reason, she liked to play tricks on her sister and like to pull her around, because this was her responsibility as an older sister.
But now, her sister is now "taken away" in front of her eyes, and she originally hoped that her father, the excellent magician, would be able to bring her sister back, but the day before, when she saw Tosaka Shichen coming back with a distressed face, she knew that her father, who had never failed, failed this time.
For two days in a row, her father, who had always maintained an elegant smile, was frowning and was busy in his "studio", and from Yan Feng, who kept going back and forth, and other people he didn't know, he knew that her father should have been working hard to find Sakura.
Rin is precocious, in a way, it should be called sensible, she didn't cry, and she tried not to disturb her father, because she is not qualified to become a magician, since she doesn't have that ability, then do her duty and let her father not be distracted, is the most important thing to do.
When the pendulum clock hanging on the wall made some noise because it was the hour, Rin closed the photo album in his hand, put it neatly, took a deep breath, straightened his posture and walked out, Rin felt that she still had a responsibility, that is, to reassure her mother, who was just an "ordinary person".
During the two nights, Rin, who had some insomnia, knew very well that the gentle woman was actually crying secretly......
"Sakura, where are you? Come back soon......"
With this in mind, the young girl with black hair walked towards the restaurant where there were only two people plus her......
