Little Angel Abby / The Pale Rider's Oath

Yuxian gritted his teeth and cursed viciously, "Damn it!"

Yuxian could guess without even thinking why this bacterium would appear in Kagarioka Tsubaki's brain.

Magus are indeed a bunch of scum; he could only imagine how much suffering Kagarioka Tsubaki had endured.

"Is there really no other way?" Yuxian asked Chiron, unwilling to give up.

Chiron sighed deeply. "Medically speaking, there's no way to solve this problem..."

Yuxian quietly watched Chiron, knowing that Chiron still had something to say, and waited for Chiron to finish speaking.

"If medicine can't solve it, then we can only try other methods. For example... a miracle."

Chiron's words startled Yuxian. "You mean... the Holy Grail?"

"The Holy Grail is one solution, but there may be other solutions that we need to find."

Yuxian nodded. He didn't want to rely on the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail was extremely unreliable, Yuxian had no liking for it. He preferred not to use the Holy Grail if possible.

The state of Snowfield's Holy Grail is still unknown. If it has been contaminated or contains other substances, it would be an even more cruel disaster for Kagarioka Tsubaki.

"What bad news!" Yuxian slumped down, feeling utterly powerless.

Chiron comforted him, saying, "Actually, it's not all bad news."

"At least for now, she is not in any danger. The bacteria have a symbiotic relationship with her, which means her life is not threatened."

"We have plenty of time to find a solution."

Yuxian nodded slightly, "A stroke of luck amidst misfortune..."

He genuinely felt sorry for the unfortunate little girl, Kagarioka Tsubaki, and wanted to save her from the bottom of his heart, giving her a normal life.

But why is it so difficult?

This world is really unfair.

Such an innocent and carefree little girl has to suffer such inhuman pain.

Yuxian's mood turned sour, and she sat there sulking.

"Master, don't worry too much. I believe we can find a way."

The children rushed over to comfort her, trying to cheer her up.

Yuxian forced a smile. "Alright, everyone, let's get some rest. Let's end this Holy Grail War as soon as possible, and then do our best to find a way to help Kagarioka Tsubaki."

"I refuse to believe it! Chaldea, a society Chaldea talent, can't find a proper solution!"

When he said this to everyone, he was actually talking to himself, encouraging himself.

If even he gives up, then who in this world will care about Kagarioka Tsubaki?

He has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter.

"Sigh... I should go to sleep first. Maybe when I wake up tomorrow, everything will be better."

Some of these words are self-deceptive, yet they contain beautiful aspirations.

Chapter 38, Section 552: Little Angel Abby

Snowfield is unusually quiet tonight.

Ordinary citizens all stayed at home, bracing for the approaching hurricane. Although they would know the hurricane had dissipated by tomorrow morning, they were still very anxious tonight.

The participants in the Holy Grail War also chose not to go out tonight. The battle that had just ended was truly frightening, and they were still digesting this earth-shattering battle.

Yuxian lay in bed and quickly fell asleep. Perhaps he hadn't slept well last night, or perhaps he was just really tired today. In any case, he was already in a dreamland.

Bright moonlight quietly slipped into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

In the Serenity room, a slight ripple was produced, so subtle that it was hard to detect even inside the room, let alone by Yuxian and the children who were already fast asleep.

"Huh? This is..." Abigail tilted her head; she was dreaming again.

But this time her expression was joyful, and she wasn't afraid at all, because this was a familiar place.

She took a few quick steps and ran along the familiar road towards the Kuangqiu Mansion.

"Little sister! Little sister! I've come to see you!"

Abby ran and shouted loudly, eagerly anticipating seeing Kagarioka Tsubaki again and hoping to continue playing with her.

She heard everything Yuxian and Chiron said during the day, and felt very concerned and worried about the little girl who had suffered such a misfortune.

The Kuangqiu mansion was unusually quiet. When Abby arrived, she did not see Kagarioka Tsubaki, nor did she see her running out to greet her.

She was anxious, fearing that something had happened to Kagarioka Tsubaki. Despite her usual politeness, Abby rushed into the house, anxiously searching for Kagarioka Tsubaki.

Finally, inside the room, Abby found Kagarioka Tsubaki. She breathed a sigh of relief and greeted her, "Little sister, I've come to see you!"

Kagarioka Tsubaki looked up at Abby, her heart stirred, but she quickly lowered her head again and curled up there silently.

"What's wrong? Let's go play together!"

Abby stepped forward and tugged at Kagarioka Tsubaki's sleeve.

Kagarioka Tsubaki didn't move. She said in a low voice, "You should leave... just leave me here alone."

Abby blinked and said softly, "Don't be sad. I'll lend you my teddy bear to play with, that will cheer you up!"

As she spoke, she shoved the teddy bear she was holding into Kagarioka Tsubaki's hands.

However, Kagarioka Tsubaki remained completely still, head bowed and indifferent.

Abby was very anxious and didn't know what to do.

"Why..."

A sigh rang out, Abby quickly turned to look in the direction of the sound, where he saw a familiar figure standing there.

"Mr. Earl!"

Abby's mouth dropped open in surprise, and she exclaimed happily, "You're here too! That's wonderful!"

Edmond emerged from the shadows, approached Abby, patted her head, and said gently, "So it's you..."

Abby nodded and rattled off, "Earl, we've been looking for you. It's so good to see you. I'm going to tell the Master about this; he'll be so happy to hear it."

"Abby finally helped Master too, hee hee!"

"Master..." Edmond murmured.

"Yes, Master and everyone else are here, and the little girl is here too..."

Abby's expression suddenly turned dejected as she spoke, "But we can't find a way to help her..."

"Does Your Earl have a solution?"

Abby tilted her little head and looked at Edmond expectantly, her eyes filled with longing and pleading.

Edmond stood there, unable to bear refusing that gaze, but what could he do?

If he had one, he would have used it long ago.

He thought for a moment, then squatted down and said, "I need your help, Abby."

"We brought our Master here; I need to know more details."

Abby nodded immediately, "Abby, what should I do? Tell me, and I'll definitely try my best!"

Edmond said softly, "Close your eyes and keep calling out 'Master' in your mind. Leave the rest to me."

He understood the little girl's abilities and the bond between her and Yuxian, but Abby herself simply didn't know how to use them.

With his guidance, it wouldn't be difficult to pull Yuxian into this dream world.

Abby's little face was very serious as she called out as the Earl had instructed.

Yuxian's figure slowly appeared in the dream.

"Huh?" He blinked. "Abby, are you calling me?... Earl!"

"We meet again. How are you?" Edmond nodded to Yuxian and greeted him calmly.

"Everyone is doing well!" Yuxian said. "It's so nice to see you!"

"Abby, you're amazing! You actually found the Earl." Yuxian praised Abby generously, making her little face beam with a smile.

"It's nothing! I just happened to run into the Earl."

Despite saying that, Abby was secretly delighted, feeling extremely happy to be able to help her Master.

"Let's leave the pleasantries here, Master." Edmond shifted his gaze to Kagarioka Tsubaki and said seriously, "Let's talk about her first."

"Sigh..." Yuxian slowly told the Earl about the story of Kagarioka Tsubaki, shaking his head helplessly as he spoke.

While Yuxian was talking to the Earl, Abby held Kagarioka Tsubaki's hand and kept comforting her and talking to her.

"So that's how it is..." The Earl fell silent after listening to Yuxian's explanation.

"I don't know what to do either, but we will definitely find a way to rescue her!"

Yuxian said in a very firm tone.

He walked over and gently patted Kagarioka Tsubaki's little head with great affection.

Kagarioka Tsubaki said softly, "You should all leave... Tsubaki, don't cause any more trouble for everyone..."

"You did nothing wrong, and you didn't cause any trouble for anyone."

Yuxian tried to comfort her, but Kagarioka Tsubaki still shook her head, firmly refusing them.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely stiff, and the closed-off attitude of Kagarioka Tsubaki made people feel very helpless and troubled.

Abby didn't give up and continued to comfort her.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, we will help you."

"It's very lonely to be alone. Abby is especially afraid of being alone, so I kept searching and searching, and now I finally have a lot of good friends."

"You will definitely be able to find many friends too."

"Then we can all play together and eat together, which will be a lot of fun."

"Don't worry, okay? Master is very capable, he will definitely find a way to get you back to your old life."

"That way you won't have to stay here all the time. You can go out into the world, meet lots of people, and enjoy lots of delicious food."

"Let me tell you, we found a really delicious restaurant today! The pastries there are amazing, I'll take you there next time!"

Kagarioka Tsubaki remained silent, but her fingers moved gently as Abby spoke, clearly indicating that Abby's words had touched her heart.

But she was still afraid, hesitant, and worried.

Call--

A gust of dark wind blew in through the window and instantly condensed into a tall, dark figure that appeared in the room.

"... Qiu... Chun..."

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve! Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

Chapter 39, Section 553: The Pale Rider's Oath

A dark figure emitted a chilling sound.

It is calling out the name of the Kagarioka Tsubaki.

This Servant had always been quiet and never spoke, spoke for the first time.

It's less like speaking and more like a friction sound that creates a unique tone.

But it was precisely this tone that made it clear to everyone that he was calling out Kagarioka Tsubaki's name.
