Chapter 348: Fate/Fateful Night Twenty-Two
"Come into the house with me, and I'll check it out for you, and see...... What is the condition of your body right now? (5) β eight (5) β eight (5) β read (5) β book, .ββ" After coming here, the tree quickly made such a request, "Oh yes, by the way, what's your name?" β
"I, my name is Sakura Makiri, and my original name is Tosaka Sakura......" Sakura realized that she was facing a tree that could walk, her head was a little dizzy, and she only felt that she hadn't recovered from this impactful fact, and her cleverness dissipated in an instant, "I'm sixteen years old this year, I'm a freshman in high school, and I didn't have a history of allergies when I went to the hospital for a check-up before......"
"Oh?" The tree used a questioning tone, looked the girl's tall figure up and down, and finally fixed his eyes on the curves of her delicate body, and said, "For a sixteen-year-old human, you must be a little too well developed......
Sakura is also a particularly shy autistic girl in nature.,Plus for various personality reasons.,I've been isolated in school.,Both boys and girls shy away from this gloomy girl.γ In every sense, she is actually quite inferior to herself for her good body that is enough to fascinate a boy...... At this moment, she was suddenly so lit up by an alien of a different race, the girl's red was so delicate that she lowered her head very shyly, not daring to look at the tree, let alone looking at Shirou, for fear that her predecessors would also think she was very obscene after hearing this. Compared with my sister, my body curve is indeed a little overdeveloped.
Even though it wasn't her fault at all, she wasn't at fault at all, and she couldn't stop being afraid. She was afraid that Shirou and Rin would hate her and alienate her because of this, and she knew that with the personalities of these two people, it would probably not be like this, but she was still afraid.
This mode of thinking about the guilt of the victim is simply the epitome of Sakura's entire tragic childhood.
β¦β¦
"Ah...... I'm sorry, I forgot......" The tree quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing and apologized repeatedly, "Human morality is not quite the same as ours in this regard, I shouldn't have asked that before." Please make no mistake about it, Ms. Makiri, as your attending doctor, I am obligated to confirm your current physical condition. You can't wait to get back to the life of an ordinary person? β
Sakura nodded heavily, without a hint of hesitation in her expression.
She thought.
She wants to live with her family again.
"Okay, while your family is here today, we can simply settle the matter once and for all...... Go to the inner room first, I'll diagnose your condition, and then come up with a treatment plan. If your family agrees, then implement it immediately, and try to return you to a normal life tomorrow. β
With that, Shu and Nobita glanced at each other, then stood up vigorously and walked in the direction of the back room. Sakura was a little apprehensive at first, but when she saw the eyes behind her that contained encouragement and anticipation, her fear and anxiety finally eased slightly. The girl settled down, and finally took the first step and left with the tree.
The atmosphere in the hall finally relaxed a little, but no one spoke.
In fact, Rin was the most nervous, she lost her patience almost after two minutes, and she had to get up every once in a while, glance in the direction Sakura had left, and then sit down again. But her look and sitting posture indicate that she can't calm down at all...... Although Nobita had made a military order early, fear still gripped her heart and made her restless. On this day, she clearly learned what kind of life her only blood relative in the world has lived in the past ten years, as an older sister, she has no way to face the current situation, she can only wait, waiting for a turn that may come.
If...... What should I do if this turnaround doesn't come in the end?
What if Sakura ends up going back to that damn house?
If you don't have the ability to shelter her, you can only watch her disappear before your eyes......
β¦β¦
Thinking about it, Rin bit her thumb, her breathing became rapid, and her pupils showed signs of gradually dilating.
A strong, powerful palm rested on her shoulder and pressed it twice with great force.
βsaberβ¦β¦οΌβ
"Don't worry, Tosaka-san." At all times, Saber's eyes were full of clearly visible tenacity, and her words were inspiring, "I want to ...... Things will definitely get better. β
ββββ
In fact, in a slightly hidden inner room, things do take a little subtle turn.
"So, please take off your shirt." The tree instructed in an extremely flat tone, "If you can, please take off your underwear or something...... It's not very cold now, and you won't catch a cold for a while. As he spoke, he popped up a few sparks in his hand, and these small sparks circled around the room at once, keeping them from touching any of the walls, in case they caused any fire. "Eight" "Eight" Reading "Book, .2β β₯ In an instant, the room that had not yet been lit up was brightly lit, and Sakura's delicate face was exposed.
It's like the last fig leaf being ruthlessly ripped open.
She shrunk back, her shoulders trembling slightly, like a little girl who had just gone to bed that day.
ββ¦β¦ Yes? Sakura tilted her head and asked, holding her little face, which was almost ripe.
To translate it in intuitive language, the meaning of this ah is basically "huh? You asked the old lady to undress in front of someone in the same room who had known her for less than thirty minutes? Is it your brain problem or mine that has a brain problem? And you just pulled two grasses and tied up two heroic spirits, in case you suddenly have a lustful heart, who can I ask for help Auntie? β
Sakura's mode of thinking has always been pessimistic, but this can't be said to be self-inflicted, because ...... She has indeed been violated in this regard, and has left an unimaginable psychological shadow. In her mind, men other than Shirou are a collection of sè lÑng, villains, and thugs, and there are basically no good people. Although from a rational point of view, she knew that this idea was too extreme, but her body had firmly remembered Shinji Ma's violation...... So much so that she feels an instinctive shudder when she sees men.
Fortunately, the person who came was neither a man nor a person, and finally alleviated the panic a little.
But he suddenly offered to take off his clothes, and that was another matter.
"What's wrong, Sakura?" This time, instead of using the previous "misunderstanding" argument to excuse himself, the tree asked directly, "I think you should have understood." β
ββ¦β¦ Don't you go off the line? Sakura's voice was faintly crying, "I don't want to take off my clothes." β
"So, next, I'm going to stick a tiny thing into your spine and send it out through your spinal cord to find out what's going on in your body. If you are separated by a layer of fabric, you can do it, but the accuracy will be slightly reduced. The tree explained very seriously, not in a hurry or slowly, there was no selfish desire or ** in a pair of emerald eyes, "Sakura, you can't avoid medical treatment, you just need to take off your shirt, turn your back to me, and you'll be fine." β
"But I, but I ......" Sakura looked at him timidly, hesitating to tell him about her past. In fact, she also knew that the tree was probably not malicious, but the terrible hurdle in her heart was that she couldn't get over, and she herself was very annoyed.
"What if one day I really marry my senior, but I don't dare to take off my clothes because I'm afraid?" Sakura suddenly thought of this question, and then covered her face the next second, not understanding why such a thought suddenly popped into her head. I didn't even have a word for the handle, and I even thought about going to bed.
The tree saw that she seemed to have some hidden feelings, so she launched a telepathic ability, and very immorally went through the ** of the girl's birth so far, and then it became clear...... This girl has been deeply hurt by men, and from the perspective of human morality, she is no longer perfect, but at an inappropriate age, she has been rudely treated by her "elder brother".
"It's okay, Sakura, look." As she spoke, the tree grabbed Sakura's hands, and the gesture caused the girl to exclaim, "Grab my hand." β
Although his hands were about the size of a human and had five fingers, they had no temperature and were cold. Sakura felt as if she had touched something inanimate, such as cloth, smooth ceramics, wood sections, etc., which was not the temperature that a living person should have.
"I'm not a human being, I'm just a tree, I'm not even the same species as you, so it's impossible for nature to have any form of non-divisive thoughts about you." He said it very slowly and seriously, and his gentle voice was particularly convincing here, "You just need to think that this is the wilderness, and you are dressed in front of a big tree, and no 'people' will see it." β
"......" under repeated persuasion, Sakura also knew that she probably couldn't take it off.
Although there is no logical flaw in the theory of the tree, he is not a ruthless plant after all, but a self-conscious living being. Sakura can only convince himself that this life form is different from humans, he has a male appearance, but he will not have a ** on himself, and he is an absolutely calm person.
Under this semi-hypnotic consciousness, the girl finally sighed faintly, turned her back to the tree, and gently shed the clothes on her upper body. The smooth back is as white as snow, the slender waist is as thin as a willow, and under the bright light of the magic fireball, the back of the girl's elegant style is like a work of art made of white marble. What if a human male came over at this moment...... Even if the saint is reincarnated, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist this honey-like temptation.
Keshu is a plant in the end, and although his emotions, thinking patterns, and three views are similar to those of humans, the setting of "yΓΉ wΓ ng" is very different from that of humans. For example, even if a person likes plants, they will not have that aspect of yΓΉ wΓ ng on them, because the other person does not have that physiological condition at all...... Of course, the special case of fetishism is not in the scope of discussion.
Our King's Hand just calmly stretched out his finger, and the next moment a very small barb began to grow on the tip of his index finger. The barb looked like some kind of plant, it was soft, cherry pink, translucent, and it grew so fast that in an instant, it had pierced into Sakura's spine and made her snort with a little panic.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, it's a crispy ......" Sakura covered her mouth, as if she was a little embarrassed to scream just now, but there was a strange smile on her face, "But it's so itchy on my back......"
"There's no way around it, after all, the spine is an important organ for humans to transmit sensations." The tree said in a businesslike tone, "Please bear with me a little longer. β
ββββ
About ten minutes later, Shu and Sakura walked out of the inner room, their expressions were the same as before they entered, and everyone naturally couldn't see anything from their expressions.
"How's it going?" Rin rushed to the front almost at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and asked anxiously, "Can it be recovered?" β
"Hmm...... That being said, after checking, we got good news and bad news. As a politician and a doctor, Tree's personality is actually a combination of tactful prevarication and compassion. He will use the phrase "good news and bad news" to name the situation and prepare his relatives first, but he will not ask nasty questions such as "which one do you want to hear first", so as not to further increase the psychological pressure on the relatives.
"The bad news is ...... While these so-called 'Engraved Worms' are gnawing at flesh and blood, they are also modifying some kind of 'circuit' in Sakura's body on a large scale. The mechanics of this universe may be different from ours, so I don't know exactly what that circuit is for, but one thing is certainβ" He paused deliberately to make sure the people in the room could follow him, "Those bugs have merged with Sakura's circuit and become part of her body tissue. Although the rules of the universe are different, ...... Based on some common fundamentals of magic, I can still assume that the person who implanted her with the bug seems to be trying to transform her into a kind of 'container', and that, with this crude biotechnology, he is indeed going to succeed. Sakura's body has become a constitution that can absorb mana, and what will happen to it when it is absorbed...... I don't know. β
"In any case, forcibly pulling out these bugs is likely to destroy the 'root bones' in Sakura's body, which will cause bad consequences."
Sakura wasn't too surprised, she had stayed in the house for so long, and she still knew a little bit about her fate. If this continues, her body will most likely evolve into the form of the "Black Grail", which will be used to absorb the powerful magic of the Heroic Spirits, and eventually become a smaller wishing machine.
And once it gets to that point, the personality of Sakura Maki will most likely disappear.
β¦β¦
Saber added calmly, "I hope your next good news is uplifting enough." β
"Of course." At any given time, the tree's "never-fading smile" always gives others great confidence, "By casting another clever 'black magic', I can transform Sakura's life into another form." The torture and transformation she had endured over the years would be completely erased by magic, and she would be restored to her proper state as a 'healthy sixteen-year-old girl', without destroying the magic circuits in her body. And those annoying bugs...... Naturally, it disappeared. β
"Really?" When it comes to her sister, Rin's IQ seems to have dropped a lot all of a sudden, and she was moved just by listening to the description, "Then hurry up and ......"
"Wait, Master." Archer had already smelled something bad from the word "black magic", and in his years of working for "Suppression", he had also had the experience of dealing with black magic, but the impression left was not very pleasant, "You said this black magic...... Is there a price to pay? β
"That's nature." The tree shrugged his shoulders and made a "helpless" gesture, "There is no lunch in the world." Equivalent exchange is the rule of all magic, and I think you are well aware of that. β
"At what cost?" Shirou's tone was a little worried, he wasn't unwilling, he was just worried that he couldn't afford the "price" that the tree was about to export. Originally, magic was different from the magic he was familiar with, so what if the tree suddenly said something that "humans can't understand and can't get"? For example, a star, a true kiss, a life, a surprise and so on......
His understanding of magic may be a bit extreme.
"Lifespan."
The tree uttered a reasonably reasonable answer, which made Rin and Shirou breathe a sigh of relief for a moment. If nothing else, the courage to give their lives for Sakura's sake is not lacking in these two...... Black magic, as soon as you hear it, it's very mysterious, and it's at least fair to exchange human life force for a complete and healthy body.
That's what they both thought before he said exactly how long.
"One hundred and eighty years." Ignoring the expressions on the two of them, the tree said to himself, "If a person is ten years old now, and he could have lived to be ninety years old, then his forepaid life is eighty years. The moment he uses this black magic, the recipient can come back to life, but he dies instantly. Sakura's body has undergone a horrific transformation and wants to reverse the effects completely...... It will take about 180 years. β
One hundred and eighty years, two or three generations.
Shirou's head felt like he had been hit hard.
"No, absolutely not!" Before the words fell, Sakura had already stepped forward in a panic and said loudly to the tree, "Still...... Let me go back, after using black magic, won't my predecessor and sister die immediately? Rather than that, I might as well ......"
"Don't worry, Sakura, he hasn't finished yet." Nobita is a beautiful and wandering appearance, anyway, he conservatively estimates that he can live to the earth, if he really can't do it, it won't be a problem if he comes out in one hundred and eighty years, "Na, tree, you didn't explain the specific setting of black magic before...... Are there other considerations? β
"Well, how to put it, it's not a clever consideration...... I have no right to change the rules of the dark arts itself, someone has to come up with these 180 years. The tree looked around, smiled helplessly, and spread his hands, "But it doesn't say that you have to be borne by your relatives, theoretically speaking, there is a person you don't know who is willing to give your life for one hundred and eighty years." So, just now I was going to secretly fill in my life myself, so I don't have to explain these specific things to you......"
Hearing this, Shirou, Sakura, and Rin were all a little confused.
Saber and Archer, who are Heroic Spirits, also looked at him with the eyes of monsters, after all, Heroic Spirits were also human beings in their lifetime, and their understanding of the word "life" basically did not deviate too much.
And this person, in the face of a girl who just met today and needed help, actually offered to take his "one hundred and eighty years" lifespan, and the tone was very casual like the kind of person who rushed to settle the bill after making an appointment to eat hot pot. This is a long time of nearly two centuries, and in the eyes of the tree, it is like two small coins that are not requisitioned for the time being, even if they are taken out and given away.
What's even more terrifying is that after giving away 180 years of life for nothing, he still can't get any benefits.
β¦β¦
"Ah, tree, that's what I see." The next moment, Nobita's smiling voice rejoined the battlefield, letting them know what it means to "treat life like a mustard", "You were invited by me, and no matter how much you have expenses, I can't let you spend it." I've been out for a hundred and eighty years...... It is conservatively estimated that it should not be a problem for me to live for tens of millions of years, and it would be a drop in the bucket to take such a little. β
ββ¦β¦ Nobita-kun. Shu politely declined the request, "In terms of origin, I am the 'Son of Jiamu' and the World Tree of the Green Star, and my lifespan is not shorter than yours; Besides, I'm going to play the role of casting spells for Sakura, if I can give my life together...... It's a little more convenient in terms of process. β
The implication is similar to "I'll invite you for this meal today, so you can think about it, go back and sit down."
Some people may ask, isn't the tree a small sapling that Doraemon watered with props? How did he become a "son of Kogi"? Could it be that he recognized some other parents after joining Yulian?
Of course...... Not so.
The so-called Jiamu is the first of the ten heavenly stems - the essence of "Jia", which belongs to wood in the five elements, is the wood of towering pillars, and can penetrate the heavens and the earth. The Ten Heavenly Stems are the ten powerful forces that are habitual in the universe, and under the manipulation of the cause and effect of the underworld, these ten energies will find a spokesperson in the universe, and this spokesperson often regards himself as the "heir" of this power. Tree Nobi Stutanying is equivalent to the embodiment of the power of "Kogi" in the universe. That's why he said that...... In terms of longevity alone, he is definitely the type of longevity and Tianqi, at least longer than Nobita.
Of course, each of the ten heavenly stems has its own agent in the universe, and the tree is just one of them. The rest of the people do not appear in this book, so they will not be mentioned here.
β¦β¦
In the end, in an extremely strange atmosphere, Nobita and Shu finally reached an agreement to solve the matter with a "ninety-year" lifespan. The whole process is very funny, a bit like you and your friends are arguing over who to treat and finally decide on the AA system...... That night, the tree used local materials to spawn different degrees of mutation from several plants in the backyard with magic, and finally obtained a series of materials, which was quickly completed. 11
