Return Voyage

A while later, Shiro and Azu stopped under a large tree. Azu paused for a moment, then spoke first, "What do you want? Do you want my eyes?"

Upon hearing this, Shiro was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "Haha, you have quite the imagination. But I don't want your eyes, I just want you to do things for me."

"How about it? Interested? Room and board included!"

Do I have any other options?

Seeing Azu helplessly shrug, Shiro smiled and extended his right hand, "Then, welcome to the team."

"Hmm, what do I need to do?"

"For now, let's pick up your sister first, then give her some training. After that, you'll be in charge of intelligence work; your current abilities aren't enough."

"I understand, I will try my best."

Having raised his younger sister alone for a year, Azu understood this very well. He had to demonstrate his value, or he would end up being abandoned. The stronger his abilities, the more attention he would receive.

As for the concern that Shiro might have ulterior motives, that thought vanished almost as soon as it crossed his mind. If he really had any bad intentions, he could take action right now.

Most importantly, he is currently powerless to resist. Even if Shiro really had that intention, what could he do? He would be of no use except for causing the deaths of himself and his sister.

Therefore, the best thing to do is to accept it all, since resistance is pointless anyway.

Of course, there was some lingering resentment in his heart, but that's a normal human reaction. So when Shiro saw it, he didn't have any objections. However, it was clear that leaving it like that would eventually leave a hidden danger.

So, as he and Azu walked towards his sister, Shiro said, "By the way, has your sister contracted a strange illness?"

"Yes, I've asked many people, but none of them can help."

"Haha." Hearing Azu's deep voice, Shiro chuckled, "What kind of capable doctor can you find in a small place like this?"

"Besides, even if there were, given your situation, how many capable doctors could you possibly come into contact with?" Then, Shiro said something that surprised and delighted Azu.

"Perhaps I have a way to cure your sister."

"Real?!"

"Don't get excited. I'm only making a possibility, and I'm using you as a model for my estimate. But even if I can't do it, it's okay. I'll find her the best doctor in the Shinobi World. You can rest assured about that."

"Thump!"

Before Shiro could finish speaking, Azu knelt on the ground, but Shiro stopped him just as he was about to kowtow.

"I told you not to get so agitated. If you keep acting like this and the condition doesn't get better, I'll be very distressed."

"Anyway, thank you!"

"Haha, if you really want to thank me, then do your job well. You can research her condition yourself later. If I'm not mistaken, I should be able to solve this problem."

After saying that, the two continued on their way to his sister's location.

Shiro wasn't lying to him. After seeing his condition, Shiro believed that his sister might also possess some Magecraft, just like him, but perhaps it wasn't perfect, which led to the conflict.

Of course, this was just Shiro's guess. If it weren't so, Shiro would have no choice but to ask Tsunade the Great for a miracle cure. Therefore, Shiro's words were not without basis.

After that, Shiro and the others went to pick up Azu's sister, Ayue. To Shiro's disappointment, there were no dramatic accidents, and Azu had chosen a very secluded place.

No one noticed, so Shiro never had a chance to show off, which was a bit of a shame.

Afterwards, they rode the giant bird back to Shiro 'Shiro Workshop. Shiro needed to learn more about Azu's Mystic Eyes and train him properly, as intelligence work wasn't easy.

Meanwhile, on the way, Shiro also examined Ayue and found that her condition was roughly the same as Shiro had guessed.

It was all caused by Magecraft. The difference was that Shiro originally guessed that she might have some superb Magecraft, but it turned out to be caused by something that had not been developed.

The result was different. Although it was also related to Magecraft, her situation was similar to Shiro's, but a degraded version of Shiro.

After Analysis, Shiro discovered that her condition was somewhere between Shiro's and Kazuki's, meaning that she had both Magic Circuits and Chakra meridians in her body.

The difference is that her two situations are not like Kazuki's, where one side has an absolute advantage, nor are they as perfect as the system's handling of Shiro.

Therefore, she is now being impacted by two different cultivation systems, which has directly caused her own collapse and even affected her Origin!

Her situation is similar to Shirou Emiya's; the Origin has assimilated her own attributes, and her original attributes are no longer clear. What she currently has is "decay"!

This is also why her body would decay from time to time. As she grew older, this conflict became more and more intense. If she hadn't met Shiro, she would have died from it in a few years.

However, this is not a big problem now, because this is exactly the direction that Shiro is currently researching: transforming Chakra meridians into Magic Circuits.

Of course, it's only just begun, so it's definitely impossible to achieve that yet. However, balancing her physical condition shouldn't be a problem, since she has Shiro as a successful role model to compare herself to.

It's relatively simpler, and after she's healed, Shiro will have a capable assistant again in a few years.

Because Shiro discovered that she also had a pair of Mystic Eyes, and they were golden too.

To be honest, Shiro suspected that the system might have given him fake information. Wasn't it said that naturally born Mystic Eyes were rare, especially high-level ones?

Shiro is extremely resentful! Colored contact lenses! What an awesome ability! Why doesn't he have that? Who's the real time traveler?!

But there's no use thinking about it now. What's meant to be yours will come eventually, and what's not meant to be yours, you can't get no matter how hard you try.

Shiro could only silently encourage himself to finish developing that Magecraft as soon as possible and change his art style!

Although Shiro knew that close combat was the proper way for a mage, but! But!!!

The spells are obviously cooler and more sophisticated!

After all, it's too low to talk and laugh while others can destroy enemy ships and fortresses, and you have to shout at the top of your lungs.

I only owe 7 more updates! Then, thank you for the monthly ticket for the girl who will eventually be crowned king, thank you for your support! Finally, give me more supporting roles, hehe (∩_∩)
