Chapter 233: Miyu Arrives in Fuyuki

It was late at night.

In the big cave of Mt. Yuanzang in Fuyuki City, a figure slowly walked out.

It was a girl with short black hair and a black dress that dragged on the ground like a wedding dress.

The color of her clothes almost blended into the night, only her pale skin and amber eyes were shining faintly under the moonlight.

Holding the mountain wall, the girl slowly walked out of the cave, looking at the scene of Fuyuki City that came into her sight, and for a moment she was a little obsessed and wide-eyed.

The lights of human civilization shone on the earth. With Fuyuki Bridge as the boundary, the old city of Miyama Town and the new city of Shinto were shining with orange and cold white light respectively.

The stars in the sky blinked, and the lights of the city on the ground were bright and dark. That was the rhythm of life, that was the breathing of the world.

This is Fuyuki City, not that Fuyuki.

It was like the end of the world. A deserted city with a huge hole in the city center had been abandoned in another world. Her brother sacrificed himself to send her to the more peaceful and more worthwhile Fuyuki City.

The girl looked at the warm lights of thousands of homes and subconsciously took a step forward.

Pain came from the soles of her feet.

Stepping back, the girl lowered her head. Several stones blocked the road. They were obviously things that could be kicked away at will, but she didn't even have a pair of shoes. Her bare feet had no protection at all.

She came to this world as a sacrifice. Except for the long dress that could barely cover her body, she had nothing.

Carefully groping, like a baby who had just learned to walk, the girl held the mountain wall, endured the pain of walking, and came all the way to the foot of the mountain, and finally stood on the asphalt road.

Thanks to the good cleaning habits of this country, the girl finally didn't have to endure the sparse gravel on the mountain road. The pain in the soles of her feet was slightly reduced, but it was followed by a cold wind.

Early spring, warm and cold.

Although there were few pedestrians, most of them wore long-sleeved jackets and looked at the girl walking in the middle of the road with strange expressions.

The car lights and horns in the distance came suddenly, scaring the girl to stagger and run to the side of the road.

She used to be protected by her brother and had hardly left home, so she naturally didn't know the difference between the road and the sidewalk.

But now she and her brother are far apart, and the girl must touch and measure the world with her own hands and feet.

So the first step is to have a set of warm clothes.

It seems that the power of the Holy Grail is still retained in her body. In the corner in front of the girl, there is a bag of clothes that seem to be discarded by someone else's family.

There are two streams of light, one red and one blue, intersecting behind her, but the girl is unaware of it. She just walks forward step by step and stretches out her hand.

Her palm is held by someone, and the warm temperature spreads all the way along her arm to her whole body.

"That kind of clothes doesn't suit you."

Trembling, looking up like a frightened little animal, the girl saw a white-haired boy with a complex expression for some reason.

Yes, the boy was Sakutsuki.

Since Miyu walked out of Yuanzang Mountain, he has been silently watching this nominal "sister", watching her endure the pain all the way to here.

Sakutsuki has thought about standing up, hugging her like in the Fourth Holy Grail War, telling her in a gentle voice "This is your brother, it doesn't matter anymore", and then protecting her for the rest of her life and watching her grow up.

But this is impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Why, Master?" While hiding in the dark to protect Miyu, Kato Danzo looked at Sakutsuki who wanted to reach out several times but finally retracted his hand, and couldn't hide his doubts.

Sakutsuki, who had transformed into a young boy at that time, closed his eyes and sighed helplessly:

"I am not qualified to adopt this child. I am a wanderer, a wisp of wind that cannot be retained, and it is impossible for me to be tied down."

Just like Kiritsugu Emiya shed tears in the Winter City and said "I am not qualified to hold this child", Sakutsuki also felt Kiritsugu's sadness and helplessness at that time.

After all, he is not a great hero, he has his own life.

Yes, it is very simple to adopt Miyu. There are only a handful of people in this world who can defeat Sakutsuki. If Miyu is willing, Sakutsuki can even pick the moon for her.

However, as omnipotent as Sakutsuki is, there is one thing that he can never give Miyu.

That is companionship.

Regardless of whether there is a mandatory skill called "Endless Wish", Sakutsuki is destined not to stay in one world for too long.

The second singularity, the Moon Holy Grail War, Fate/Apocrypha, Fate Grand Order...There are too many adventures waiting for him, and he can't stop.

Then follow the original destiny, wander to the park, meet Sapphire, meet Luvia, meet Illya, meet Rin, meet precious friends... and the crisis lurking in the distance, will be reversed by Sakutsuki himself.

As long as Miyu can live in peace in this world - in this way, Sakutsuki can be regarded as satisfying the wish of the giant hero.

Yes, he originally thought so.

But seeing Miyu helplessly wandering in such a big world, even picking up clothes worn by others, he couldn't help it.

Is this the influence of the giant hero, or is it his own pity?

Sakutsuki no longer thinks about this problem, because his instinct has been one step ahead of reason, and he holds the hand that Miyu extends.

In a trance, Sakutsuki seems to have returned to the beginning of the Fourth Holy Grail War, but now Miyu is not a servant, but a living human being.

[What a wonderful journey, brother, in that world, we will meet each other eventually. ]

The jade-colored magical girl overlapped with the timid girl in front of him. The boy blinked and simply opened his arms to pick up Miyu:

"Welcome here."

As if the past was repeating, Miyu, who wanted to push Sakutsuki away, once again felt the breath of peace of mind, as if her brother had come across the world to meet her again.

"Brother..." The girl grabbed the corner of Sakutsuki's clothes and choked in a low voice.

"No, I'm not your brother." The boy's mouth showed a little bitterness, which soon dissipated, "It's just that as a priest, I can't bear to see the lost lamb wandering in the world, yes, that's it."

Continuing to hug Miyu in a princess hug, feeling the girl's uneasy movements in his arms, Sakutsuki said: "Danzo."

"Yes, Master." Kato Danzo appeared in front of Sakutsuki, holding a clothing bag in his left hand.

Knowing that Miyu would come to Fuyuki tonight, how could Sakutsuki not be prepared?

He kept saying that he would not care, but in the end, he was just saying one thing and doing another.

"Leave it to you." Sakutsuki handed Miyu to Danzo, and turned around consciously.

"Yes." Danzo took the ignorant Miyu, turned around and hid in the shadows, and soon there was a rustling sound and the girl's exclamation.

"Wait, Miss Danzo, this is not possible...ah!"

"Well, this is not necessary, right? Hey! I can do it myself! I can do it myself!"

"Put it on the wrong way... wuwu."

Sakutsuki's mouth twitched when he heard it, but fortunately Danzo didn't let him embarrass him for too long, and soon led Miyu out wearing cute children's clothes with a blush on her face.

Compared with the pale little beauty in a long skirt before, the current Miyu is obviously more energetic and more lovable.

"Well done." The young priest clapped his hands and said with satisfaction, "Let's go eat next."

"Eat?" Miyu subconsciously raised her head, and her stomach also made a 'gurgling' sound, and she lowered her head in shame.

Seeing Miyu's shy appearance, Sakutsuki smiled slightly, took her hand with soft eyes: "Let's go."

"... Yeah."

They didn't go to any big hotels or high-end restaurants. Sakutsuki just took Miyu to a roadside izakaya. Under the joint 'persuasion' of Fukuzawa Yukichi and the young priest, the owner of the store willingly gave up the seat, and Sakutsuki personally cooked a bowl of steaming rice porridge.

The porridge and side dishes are more soothing.

Silently waiting for Miyu to finish her meal, Sakutsuki estimated that it was almost time, so he stood up and said, "Danzo, send Miyu to the park later, that's where she belongs."

After swallowing the food, Miyu hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

I don't know why the boy has a sense of security, why he knows his name, and why he is so nice to me all of a sudden... But Sakutsuki left without saying anything, which still made Miyu panic.

"Don't worry, Miyu." The boy turned around after hearing this, and there was undisguised doting in his golden eyes, "Just like your brother wished, he hopes you are happy and hopes you can make friends in this world - then, I also wish you the same."

As he spoke, the boy's figure disappeared like a shadow, as if he had never appeared.

"Go and embrace your life, my... friend."

"Let's go, Miss Miyu." Just as Miyu was in a daze, Danzo stood beside her and said silently.
