Chapter 3: I Am ...... Kirizakura
Fate/Zero World, Higashigi City, Yingzhou Island.
It's night, the local magnates, the location of the Kiri's family.
In the dark basement, there are green flames burning all around, as if someone is sending their souls to burn, and the ghostly light can only illuminate the surroundings, but there is indeed an extremely infiltrating scene underneath!
Dense engraver worms followed one another, surrounding the little girl in the middle altar position.
Toban Sakura ...... No, it should be called Sakura Makiri, her big eyes full of fear and despair, and from time to time she swept up the steps, where the hunchbacked bald old man was, and his eyes seemed to be praying for something.
"No!" The little girl has a soft voice, but when she screams, she is still not inferior to those adult women.
How scared was she? How scared was she?
The dense tiny black insects gradually surrounded the cherry blossoms, and the little girl shook her shoulders, and she could not hold back crying in this environment, which was enough to see the strength of her psychology.
"Dada~"
The little leather boots with round toes stepped on the stone slab, and Sakura wanted to run to the stone staircase, because there was no such terrible bug in the place where "Grandpa" was.
She still remembered the existence that the head of the Maki family, even her own father had to respect.
At the first sight of "grandpa", Sakura's heart couldn't help but be stunned, and she shivered from the inside out!
The chill wants to wrap her all the time, and although this thought is rude, Sakura still feels that "grandpa" always reveals a strangeness.
Can Dad not know? He's the best magician in the Yuanban family!
Sakura was introverted by nature and didn't dare to ask, and after the man who was called her father left, "grandpa" treated her very well, except that there was no mother and sister here, it seemed to be ...... Doesn't seem to make a difference?
The house was deserted, and "grandpa" came to talk to her every once in a while, looking like an old man who cared about his granddaughter.
Although "grandpa" doesn't seem to match the word 'kind eyebrows', Sakura gradually suppresses the sadness in her heart.
It will get better in the future, in the heart of the young Sakura, the square and the distant board have been friends for generations, and they will ...... When she learns the magic of the Kirito family in the future, she should be able to meet her mother and sister at will, right?
When the time comes...... What should they be called?
Aunt? Rin?
In other words, Uncle Yanye is the child of "grandpa", right? Doesn't that mean that every time Uncle Yanye comes home, he can bring her some small gifts?
Thinking of the gift that her sister shared with her, Sakura's heart became more and more anticipating.
I look forward to the man named Yanye coming back, at least to accompany Sakura......
It's night, and "grandpa" wants to teach me the secret of the Kirito family.
The sadness in Sakura's heart flashed, she had nothing to do with the Yuanban family at all, but after learning magic, the empathetic "grandfather" would definitely let her go to the house to have a look, right?
Family...... She misses her mother and sister, even if it's a normal serious father...... Sakura also wants to meet.
I remembered that when I made a mistake, my sister suffered it alone, and my father had a cold face in front of him, constantly telling the glory of the Yuanban family......
"Sakura, come with me."
"Grandpa" spoke, Sakura nodded, and after agreeing, she honestly followed behind the hunchbacked old man.
Even if it is the height of a young girl, in front of the "grandfather", you don't have to hold your head too high.
In the dark basement, Sakura is a little afraid of the dark, this "weakness" has been criticized by her father, but Sakura is still afraid.
As for the basement? Sakura didn't think anything was wrong, and when her father went out, her sister would always take her to the basement, where there were a bunch of fun things!
And colorful, sparkling gemstones!
Although her father found out about it and was reprimanded again, her sister still enjoyed the secrets of the basement.
What secrets will there be in the basement of the Kiri's house?
Are there brightly colored, sparkling gemstones? Are there all kinds of magic books that make you feel sleepy at a glance?
Sakura didn't know, but she still had some expectations in her heart.
"Sakura, go down by yourself."
"Grandpa?"
Sakura was a little puzzled, her big eyes blinking, and a hint of fear flashed in her heart as she looked into the darkness below.
"Go down on your own."
Sakura swallowed, it would be nice if her sister was here...... She...... She will definitely ask "grandpa" questions, but she ...... herself But he didn't dare.
"Go down on your own! Let me say it a fourth time?! ”
Sakura shuddered, and the "grandfather" in front of her suddenly became strange, like a ghost from hell who eats the hearts of children!
In particular, those two green eyes always reminded Sakura of the ghouls in the books......
Sakura gritted her teeth and walked down the stairs tremblingly.
"Grandpa......"
"Huh?"
There was already a hint of impatience in the tone of the dirty inkstone, which made Sakuramoto's words come to his lips and swallow them back into his stomach.
'To ...... If my sister was here, she wouldn't be like this. ’
Sakura thinks of her sister, the cute girl with two black ponytails.
She would always stand in front of her and say she wanted to protect herself......
Carefully stepping on the stone stairs, Sakura dared to take the next step.
"Boom~"
The flames ignited strangely, but it didn't give Sakura any peace of mind.
The green and faint lights are one after another, but there are always dark areas that cannot be illuminated.
Looking back at "Grandpa", the old man was expressionless, and in his green eyes, he looked like a hungry wolf about to eat!
Her heart was beating faster, and Sakura's steps were a little faster, and it seemed that the basement slab was much safer than that of "Grandpa".
"Click~"
Sakura finally came to the center of the basement, and the strange lines were carved into the floor, and the center was faintly higher than the rest of the area.
There are no glittering gems here, and there are no magic books that will make you dizzy when you look at them.
Nothing.
Except for those small holes, which look like inlets for sewers to unclog dirty water.
Sakura raised her head and looked up at the dirty inkstone, "Grandpa, I'm ......"
"Okay, next, you are going to inherit the secret of the Kirito family."
Sakura nodded her little head, but the back of her heart was cold, and her little heart ...... There is always a bad feeling of premonition.
Sakura didn't understand how it felt, but the "warning" that creatures were born with made Sakura want to run out of here!
Get out of this weird basement! Even...... Run out of the house!
She understood something...... Why haven't I seen Uncle Yanye these days, Uncle He...... I don't like it here, do you?
Isn't that "grandpa" very lonely?
"Let's get started."
"Huh?"
Sakura tilted her head cutely, and it was the first time she saw "grandpa" with such a happy smile!
Although that smile ...... No matter how you look at it, it's all very infiltrating!
"Hiss~"
The sound rang out, cluttered in the quiet basement, and Sakura covered her ears and took a few steps back.
Pupils constricted to the extreme!
Dense pitch-black insects crawled out of those "drains" one after another!
Target...... It seems to be her.
