"It's okay. Adults all have their own things to do, Sakura knows that. Besides, Sakura doesn't understand the things that adults worry about, so you don't need to tell Sakura."
Sakura smiled understandingly.
What a wonderful child...
Looking at Sakura, who was nodding sleepily but still responding with a smile, Mande's heart seemed to be touched.
At this moment, he seemed to have found the meaning of travel. As a traveler of the world, what he had to do was to change the tragedies of various worlds and save those who deserved to be saved.
"Okay, go to sleep. I won't go out again. I'll take you to buy some new clothes tomorrow."
Wan Di smiled and patted the little girl's fluffy head. With his touch, Sakura also showed a slightly shy smile.
Then he gently rubbed Wan Di's palm in response.
However, instead of returning to the room, she gently raised her hand and grasped Wan Di's wrist.
"Brother, will you leave me...?"
A hint of panic flashed in Sakura's eyes. The sudden disappearance of Wan'e had reduced Sakura's sense of security to an extremely low level.
After all, in Sakura's eyes, she was just a useless burden, a nuisance who needed to be taken care of. Her father wanted to send her away, and Zouken Matou wanted to push her into the insect pit.
Although Wan Di saved her, Sakura still had some lingering trauma after the two previous incidents.
Even though Sakura has been in a good mood these past two days.
However, after witnessing Wan Di's departure, Sakura's sense of security began to wane.
"Of course not. Sakura is so cute. I used to really want a little sister like Sakura."
Wan Di immediately saw the source of Sakura's unease and comforted her.
"Believe me, Sakura, I will never abandon you. After all, if I wanted to, I could have left without a word."
"Well, I believe you."
After hearing Wan Di's explanation, Sakura nodded with a smile.
After coaxing Sakura to sleep completely, Wan Di quietly left the room.
It's normal for a child to have some sense of crisis after experiencing so much. Moreover, Wan Di has plenty of patience when dealing with children.
Of course, this only applies to well-behaved children like Sakura. If they were the unruly type, Mande would probably want to kick them to death.
After all, unruly kids can be really annoying when they want to be.
The next day, Wan Di also got up early.
This body has excellent physical fitness; it doesn't matter if it doesn't rest.
In a sense, sending Wan Di to the Absolute Demonic Front is absolutely appropriate. After all, his ability to refuse death means he could even sit on the toilet in place of Gilgamesh, since he could still quickly pass through the underworld even if he died.
He didn't think that Alyssa's powers could limit him. After all, how could the underworld of this world control an alien like Wan Di?
Good morning, brother...
After Wan Di finished washing up, Sakura slowly walked out of the room with sleepy eyes.
Because she waited for Wan Di for a while last night, Sakura lost an hour of sleep and is still feeling a bit tired.
Her fair little hands kept rubbing her eyes, trying to cheer herself up.
"You can rest a little longer."
Seeing that Sakura seemed a bit out of sorts, Wan Di couldn't help but say something.
"No, no, my brother's already up. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I kept sleeping? Besides, it's getting late; the sun'll be high in the sky if I keep sleeping..."
Sakura quickly shook her head, and then, wearing her cute little slippers, she pattered her way towards the bathroom.
Then, the sound of flowing water could be heard from inside.
During this time, Wan Di also tidied up the room.
Then he waited for Sakura in the living room.
Wan Di promised to take Sakura out shopping and sightseeing yesterday, and he certainly wouldn't break his promise.
Furthermore, there's no need to worry about encountering other Masters during the day, since the Holy Grail War is held at night, and Masters maintain a tacit understanding during the day to preserve the mystery of magic.
Wan Di doesn't plan to tell Xiao Ying about what happened last night.
After all, even if she said it, it would only add to Sakura's troubles.
Even though Sakura has been saved by him, he still has a knot in his heart.
Moreover, Sakura has now become her own Master, so whatever arrangements are made, let's wait until the Holy Grail War ends.
The most urgent task is to win the Holy Grail War myself, and then find a way to deal with this Black Grail.
Unfortunately, this world still cannot accommodate Tiamat, otherwise, this Holy Grail could simply be fed to Tiamat and that would be the end of it.
Anyway, given Ti's digestive abilities, this Black Grail will at most cause Ti a little indigestion, nothing serious, and a little more exercise will do the trick.
Speaking of which, when I left Uruk last time, the system rewarded me with the soul of Tiamat. As long as I can create a body for Tiamat in the right world, she can be fully revived.
However, Tiamat is just too powerful. Ordinary worlds simply cannot contain her. Therefore, Wan Di has been searching for a world of high enough scale to accommodate Tiamat.
It's even the kind of thing that allows Tiamat to move freely in her original form without any problems.
However, such worlds are still too few, and Wan Di doesn't know when he will be able to encounter one.
A short while later, Sakura came out of the restroom, her temples still slightly damp.
Clearly, she had just washed her face.
"Let's go out for breakfast."
Wan Di looked at Sakura and then said.
However, they did not receive a response from the other party immediately.
At that moment, Sakura stared intently at Wan Di, then suddenly smiled.
"what happened?"
Wan Di was somewhat baffled.
"It's nothing, wait for me a moment, brother."
As Sakura spoke, she quickly ran into the room.
Although you'll know what Sakura is doing once you go inside, it's still a girl's room. Even though Sakura is just a little kid right now, she still deserves respect.
A short while later, Sakura appeared from the room.
And she had already changed her clothes.
However, what is most eye-catching is Sakura's right forehead.
A neatly braided pigtail extended from her forehead and was carefully placed in front of her ear by Sakura.
"This is..."
Wan Di stared blankly at the little braid next to Sakura's cheek.
"It's the same style as my brother's. His is on the left, and mine is on the right."
Sakura looked at Wan Di with a smile, a shy smile on her face: "In that case, we're more like siblings, aren't we?"
"Ah."
Wan Di nodded slightly. He hadn't expected this little girl to be doing this.
He shook his head helplessly, then took Sakura's soft, boneless little hand and walked towards the door.
Logically speaking, Wan Di should not have any money in this world after arriving here. However, for some reason, some petty thugs who clearly have a lot of money but like to rob people keep appearing like fixed NPCs in every world.
That night, after giving a good beating to a few thugs, Wan Di found a large amount of cash on them. This scene left Wan Di speechless. Dude, it's one thing for you to rob people, but why are you carrying so much cash?
To be honest, he still found it hard to break down when he saw the three thugs kneeling on the ground, lifting Fukuzawa Yukichi up and placing him in front of them to beg for forgiveness.
How thoughtful of them! Knowing they were broke when they first arrived in this world, they just handed them money to their faces.
To be fair, Wan Di was quite lucky. The place he and Xiao Ying found was located in a commercial area with several breakfast shops nearby. Wan Di even spotted a Chinese breakfast shop.
The shop owners are a middle-aged couple; the wife is their neighbor, so the two of them opened the small shop together.
Being able to see tofu pudding and spicy soup in Japan, a world in which Wan Di is living, is still very gratifying.
The only thing that Wan Di found hard to accept was that the dishes in this restaurant all seemed a bit strange.
The sight of sweet tofu pudding and savory rice dumplings made Wan Di frown.
Then I quietly ordered a bowl of spicy soup and a few fried dough sticks.
Eating is just a habit anyway; I'll just eat a few bites and call it a day.
Sakura, on the other hand, ordered a bowl of sweet soy milk and two steamed buns, and was enjoying her meal immensely.
"Brother, you clearly wanted to order a zongzi to try just now, why did you give up later?"
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Sakura looked at Wan Di with some curiosity and said...
"Salty rice dumplings are absolutely unacceptable."
He made a fork gesture with his hand at the bottom of the bowl, and then said seriously.
Is it...is it that serious?
Sakura was a little confused.
It's just a rice dumpling, isn't it?
"Of course there is. It would completely change my perception. It's absolutely terrifying. I've grown up eating sweet rice dumplings. I can't imagine what it would taste like to have pork belly in a rice dumpling... No, just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous..."
"Does it make you feel as uncomfortable as I do when I see those bugs?"
Sakura racked her brains for a long time, but still couldn't think of a good analogy, so she started talking about what had happened before.
My darling, you've already used such metaphors? You're so mentally strong?
Wan Di couldn't help but feel a little ashamed upon hearing the other party's analogy.
"Almost... almost."
Wan Di nodded.
