(The second more ~ is struggling with the third more!) ）

During this period of time, Sakura has of course carefully observed the owner of the current residence, especially this man who calls himself a "former magician", although there are many of them that she can't see through, but she knows one thing, this person doesn't want to be exposed to those magicians in Fuyuki City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

First of all, Sakura, who has some knowledge of the Demon Dao, can also judge that although this person is not weak, at least from that sense of sharpness, he will never be weaker than her father, Tosaka Tokitomi, but, even if it is strong, it is not too strong.

If such a magician wants to hide his identity and obtain information at the same time, he cannot contact the Tosaka family or the Makiri family, but can only obtain information from the information of the "surface world" and his own observations.

However, this method is advantageous for Sakura, because whether it is the "terrorist attack in the park" on that day, the "unknown explosion on the shore of the Miengawa Lake", or the demons who will inevitably be detected everywhere, it is enough to make the conjecture in Ken's heart, who already has a judgment about Sakura, more real, and it is also a misunderstanding caused by a preconceived concept of life.

However, the magician in front of him believed in Sakura's identity even more, and while letting down his vigilance against her, the decision he made was a little unexpected, not that Sakura didn't expect it, but that this person's decision was a little too decisive.

If this person is really just a magician who lives in seclusion, then it is impossible to make such a "huge" move just for such a small thing, there is definitely something that can really threaten him!

After Aki left, Sakura thought for a moment and took the initiative to speak, and Ken, who was the object of her inquiry, smiled and then spoke seemingly unguardedly.

"Hehe~ Sakura-chan, you're really a smart kid~ I went out this time, and I found that not only the Tosaka family but also the other Makiri family were searching for you, and even the church personnel appeared."

"The church?" Sakura spat out these two words, with a somewhat puzzled tone, she knew very well that since her "senior brother" was a member of the church, it should be a very normal thing for the church to be involved, and what she was wondering about was the involvement of the church, and what it had to do with this magician's decision.

And Sakura's unintentional doubts also fell into Ken's eyes, and he thought of something else in his heart, according to his thoughts, the girl in front of him, who was an "experimental subject", really didn't know anything about a lot of common sense in the "inner world".

In short, there is a clear definition in Ken's mind, although Sakura is just a little girl after all, although it is because of the almost mature wisdom of the experience that can definitely be called "dark".

"Yes, Church, as I once told you, I used to be a magician, and in some ways I am still some strength, I am not only a magician who is 'sealed', but ......"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot Sakura-chan that you don't really know much about this, Sakura, you just need to know that the so-called 'seal designation' is not much different from death for us magicians, and that's fine." After noticing Sakura's somewhat puzzled gaze, Ken continued to explain with a smile.

"That's why I've always avoided contact with other magicians, after all, the Magic Association isn't a good-natured organization for us, but that's not the main reason why I have to evacuate now." Ken lowered his head slightly, staring directly at Sakura's black eyes, and his expression slowly became serious.

"A few years ago, when my wife was still alive, I conducted a magic experiment, and that experiment was absolutely intolerable blasphemy for the church, so for me, the church is more dangerous than the magic association."

Ken slowly explained the real reason to Sakura, and from his words, Sakura suddenly became interested in what the "former magician" in front of him had done to pull him into such a dangerous situation.

"A few years ago? When were you a magician? Sakura slowly sounded a moment after Ken's voice fell, and the temperament revealed in her voice made Ken's eyes appear slightly surprised.

“…… Ah~ I was still a magician at that time, because it was that experiment that caused my wife's death, and ...... Almost made me lose little Edgie forever......"

Ken was silent for a moment, then opened his gray eyes without any emotion, and spoke slowly in a very soft voice as if he was telling about some painful past.

"After that, although it was not easy to save little Edge's life, her body and personality were severely traumatized even now, and this is probably the retribution for what I did......

"Lay the blood of innocent people as our way forward, obtain the help of demons in a blasphemous way, and defile the remains of the saints......"

"I will never be able to atone for this sin, and my debt is constantly increasing because of my power as a magician...... I'm afraid that it won't be until the day when little Aiqi is truly healed that it means that the karma on my body has stopped increasing, and it means that I am eligible for salvation......"

Ken buried his head deeply, and Sakura didn't speak immediately, and for a moment the place was quiet, and the wind was blowing, bringing with it the sound of trees swaying, the joyful voices of children, and some vague singing......

"Uncle Ken, are you telling me this because of Edge? Or is there any command for her 'healing'? What kind of disease is that? After the vague song jumped to the next chapter, Sakura spoke calmly, her tone like water, without waves.

"Heh, of course I'll continue for Aki's 'healing', and as for Sakura-chan, of course, I'll please, not only you, but also all the children, if little Aki can 'heal', it will definitely be thanks to your care, as for the 'illness' you mentioned, little Aki is not sick, it should be regarded as a defect......

After hearing Sakura's words again, Ken also smiled slightly, and then said to Sakura with a very happy look, it seemed that he was very satisfied with the attitude of the girl in front of him, but when he talked about Aiqi again, there was some bitterness on his face.

"You should also notice, she often calls out the name 'Jiu-chan', which is actually the cat that has been with little Agi since she was a child, and it is also my demon, it is like Aki's sister, after that accident, in order to save Aki, she didn't even leave her body...... But Ai Qi has always believed in it, firmly believing that Xiao Jiu is still with her...... This is actually a manifestation of personality defects. ”

"In Aiqi's body, it's not just this extent, her situation is more like a defect in the origin, of course, it hasn't reached that serious level, but it's still difficult to do it for my level, and fortunately, there are some eyebrows faintly now."

Ken nodded, then looked at Sakura with a very relieved expression, as if pleased with the possibility that Ai Qi would get better, and at the same time, his expression softened, and he continued.

"During this time, the little Aiqi child always came to disturb you, I'm really sorry, but, as a father, I can see that the little Aiqi child likes you very much, and you can make this child so happy during this time."

"No, I should say thank you," Sakura shook her head, the coldness on her face was cut off a lot, and she put on a smile and said gently to the magician in front of her, "Thank you for taking care of you during this time, uncle!" And this time, because I still have to worry about you, uncle...... I'm really sorry! ”

"I can't blame you, even if you weren't brought back by little Edge, this place would be discovered sooner or later, and now, it's enough to make little Edgeie so happy every day, if you really want to be grateful, please take good care of little Edgeie for my incompetent father!"

Ken closed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said to Sakura in a very gentle manner, and then, like an ordinary father who couldn't worry about his daughter, said to Sakura in a tone like a request.

"Of course, it's an honor! I will definitely take good care of that child, and thanks to her, I was rescued, and I will not forget this kindness! Sakura said with a serious look, and Ken smiled a little reassuringly.

"It's a bit too serious to say that the favor is too serious, so it's as my reward for helping you get out of the Tosaka family."

Ken stood up and said to Sakura in a very calm tone, and then slowly walked out of the room, leaving Sakura alone, not knowing what she was thinking, and after a while, Sakura put the book on her lap and opened it......
