The Endless Shuttle

"Compared to this, Sakura, you are really worrying my brother."

There was a hint of reproach in Luo Pei's tone, but there was a reassuring expression on his face.

"Obviously I let you go back to the home of my mother and sister, but you left four years ago without permission. Not only that, but you also practiced the secret technique that your brother expressly forbids you to touch—"

"...Does my brother know?"

The girl shrank her shoulders.

Although she had already expected to be discovered, Sakura still felt flustered when she was exposed by Rope.

"How could you not know? Do you think brother has forgotten his promise?"

Luo Pei said angrily: "I went to find you the first time I returned to Fuyuki City, but Mrs. Tohsaka said that you had left four years ago. If you come back a few weeks later, I'm afraid I'll have to turn the whole county upside down!"

"Brother, are you angry?"

Sakura's voice trembled. I don't know whether I am afraid that the elder brother I care about the most will be angry, or I am happy because I have not forgotten her, very complicated feelings.

"angry!"

Looking at the girl who was about to cry, Luo Pei sighed again, and his tone of reproach eased.

He took a few steps, and embraced the girl whose height just reached his chest.

"Although I'm angry, it's fine as long as you're safe anyway. Also, I'm back as promised, Sakura."

"……Um!"

Sakura hugged Luo Pei with her backhand, rubbing her head against his chest vigorously.

Ten years later, the girl returned to the harbor that gave her a sense of security that night, but this time she was no longer a little girl, and Luo Pei was no longer the boy she was back then.

After hugging like this for a while, Luo Pei took the lead to let go, and Sakura seemed a little reluctant to leave.

"Let's go, Sakura." He held the girl's hand and said.

"There are still many questions, but this is not a place to talk. Come back with me. We will talk again later, and by the way, my brother will cook you dinner tonight."

"good."

Sakura nodded obediently, without asking where she was going.

In the girl's current mind, as long as she can be with her brother, even in the most dangerous place, she must be happy, right?

"—Maybe it's a bit embarrassing for me to speak now, but please forgive me, because for some reason, your destination is not a place I can go for the time being."

A friendly, indistinguishable male and female voice rang out from the suitcase Sakura was carrying.

Luo Pei's footsteps stopped, and he frowned, looking at the suitcase dragged by Sakura's hand.

...Is it because I feel insensitive?

Aware of Luo Pei's doubts, Nyogda's voice became more gentle.

"It's the first time to meet you, noble caller. My name is Nyogda, and I am the subordinate ruler of the Mother of Fertility. Please don't be surprised to meet in this posture. I am not the great "Chaos" majesty. Think about it It will take a little time to escape the surveillance and use divine power to transform the avatar into a human. "

"...His Royal Highness "Inhabitant of Darkness"? "

Luo Pei read Nyogda's title, and he was a little surprised.

While learning the name knowledge from the Necronomicon, Rope also knew what was buried in the box.

——The Old Ones. That is, the evil god.

Knowing that it was the evil god, Luo Pei was half relieved. He has become more and more kind to the gods of hatred that others are afraid to avoid.

But... It's strange, why would the evil god be with Sakura, has her secret art practiced enough to "call the incarnation of the gods to descend"? Only with fragments of R'lyeh's text?

Luo Pei looked at the purple-haired girl, waiting for her explanation.

PS:

Well, the fourth can conquer (cross out) the Great Old One.

Chapter Thirteen: Nyogda and Rope, Lovely Children in the Darkness (Part 1)

"Almost forgot to introduce to my brother."

Sakura pulled the suitcase in front of her, said while holding the handle.

"His Royal Highness Nyogda is my mentor, and he was answered to my call four years ago. This is why I left the Tohsaka family... my sister. My sister is familiar with the Tohsaka family. His Highness Nyogda But her..."

"That's just your vain speculation, little lady. If you had explained it clearly at that time, I would have let a little kid who had something to do with the other world see it?"

Nyogda refuted Sakura's words, and also made Rope realize one of the characters of the old ruler

--arrogant.

This kind of arrogance directly revealed in front of him made Luo Pei feel very fresh.

Although he speculates a bit about the characters of the evil gods, arrogance is definitely inevitable, but whether it is Cthulhu, Hastur, Igoronak, or Nyarlathotep, they are all very easy to restrain themselves in front of him. Only Nyogda does not have the pride from ancient times to the present. He is full of the feeling that an evil god should have while being polite.

"Answered your call?"

Luo Pei ignored the freshness, turned his attention to Sakura, and repeated what she said just now.

The girl obviously didn't realize what Luo Pei meant, so she nodded naturally.

"Well, yes, brother, it's my call."

"...According to the rank of a mystic, what is your current level, Sakura?"

"Ah..." The girl's face turned red, and she said embarrassedly. "I just left the "apprentice" a few months ago... Some of the spells of the secret arts are too obscure, even if His Royal Highness Nyogda commented on it, I couldn't understand them. "

Ying was afraid that Luo Pei would not be satisfied with her practice, so she hastily added.

"But brother! I haven't slackened, and I'm still working hard. Next year at the earliest... No, I can complete the introductory spell understanding of "Darkness" this year! "

"Hehe, Sakura, you must have misunderstood."

Apparently, Nyogda, who lived almost beyond the history of human birth, heard the meaning behind Rope's words. He explained with a smile.

"Indeed, honorable caller, with the power of this little girl, it is impossible to summon my incarnation to descend, even my gift can't bear it. But all this is based on "If she really made the summon On the basis of "behavior", if the leader is me, it will be different. "

"You took the initiative to lower the avatar?" Luo Pei was taken aback, then said subconsciously.

"But if I remember correctly, what Sakura possesses should be the emblem of His Majesty the "Eternal Sleeper", how could it be you...? "
