The Fanatic's Roar
Yuxian squinted at Mr. Darky, wondering what he was up to. This unknown Servant gave him a very ominous feeling.
Yuxian was somewhat disappointed that Kagarioka Tsubaki did not respond to Mr. Darky. He had thought that Mr. Black's appearance would bring some change, but it seemed that things were not so easy.
"... Qiu... Chun..."
Mr. Darky spoke again, but with that sound, he once again transformed into a gust of dark wind and was blown away through the window.
Immediately afterwards, a violent tremor came, and the whole house shook.
No, it should be that the entire dream world was shaking.
"What's going on? Is he going to destroy this place?!"
Yuxian shocked and furious. This was Kagarioka Tsubaki's dream world, and destroying this place would mean destroying Kagarioka Tsubaki's consciousness.
Such behavior Yuxian absolutely unacceptable.
Without a word, he leaped out of the window, roaring at the howling, dark wind, "Stop right there!!!"
However, how could Mr. Darky possibly listen to Yuxian's words? He continued to whirl through the air, between buildings, and among the leaves.
Under his influence, the dream world swayed and trembled constantly, as if it would collapse at any moment.
An ominous wind swept through Kagarioka Tsubaki's dream world; no one knew his purpose or his thoughts.
The black wind in the sky kept echoing, and sounds kept coming from the dream world. Listen carefully, and you will find that he has been repeating three words, "... Qiu... Chun..."
Kagarioka Tsubaki could no longer bear it. She ran out of the house and looked up at the dark wind in the sky.
Tears kept flowing down my face.
"Mr. Darky... please don't cause any more trouble for everyone, Tsubaki, please don't do this... Tsubaki, please don't..."
The raging winds stopped for a moment, the world went from motion to stillness, a transformation in an instant.
The dark figure coalesced again, and upon closer inspection, one could see that it was emitting a faint glow.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Kagarioka Tsubaki, lying on her bed, was shrouded in a cloud of black mist, and the last Command Spells on the back of her hand slowly dissipated.
"... Qiu... Chun..."
The glimmer of light on Mr. Darky slowly grew brighter and brighter.
The light was so Yuxian couldn't open his eyes, and then it suddenly disappeared.
The dark fog in the sky disappeared, and in its place appeared a figure that had never been seen before in the distance.
It was a tall knight, dressed in pale white armor, riding a pale white horse.
The Pale Rider, Mr. Darky has transformed into the Pale Rider at this moment.
Who is he? He is the plague, the calamity, the omen of doom.
He is the Pale Rider, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
He brought disaster and destruction.
At this moment, the Pale Rider led his horse, walking step by step towards Kagarioka Tsubaki.
With tears in her eyes, Kagarioka Tsubaki looked at the Pale Rider before her, her face showing no surprise, joy, or astonishment. She simply watched the Pale Rider approach quietly.
She was afraid of death, yet not afraid of it.
The Pale Rider walked slowly but steadily, step by step.
He came up to Kagarioka Tsubaki, stopped his horse, and stared intently down at Kagarioka Tsubaki.
Whoosh! The Pale Rider dismounted, tossed the reins aside, and began walking.
His entire body was covered in pale armor, including his face, so no one could see his face or his expression.
And so he walked up to Kagarioka Tsubaki, standing only an arm's length away from her.
The Pale Rider stood before Kagarioka Tsubaki, his posture upright like a pine tree, but the next moment...
To Yuxian's astonishment, this knight, who was clearly no ordinary man, knelt down on one knee before Kagarioka Tsubaki.
His right hand rested on his chest, and his left hand gently took up Kagarioka Tsubaki's small hand and held it in his broad palm.
He lowered his head and gently pressed the back of Kagarioka Tsubaki's small hand to his lips.
This scene was frozen in time.
The oath of the guardian knight.
The pale knight made a vow to protect his young master.
At that moment, the entire dream world was filled with dazzling light and rose into the sky. The once lifeless world seemed to come alive and become vivid.
Life appeared at this moment: leaves sprouted new buds, a gentle breeze caressed the face, and the sunlight brought warmth.
This scene has become eternal.
The Pale Rider's body slowly became ethereal, and he maintained this posture as he gradually became unreal.
Kagarioka Tsubaki was terrified. She cried out, "Don't go! Mr. Darky... don't go!"
Kagarioka Tsubaki pulled her small hand back and tried to hug the Pale Rider tightly.
But she failed; there was nothing in her arms.
Her tears fell again, but this time they were different from before; they were tears of reluctance.
The dream world shattered at that moment.
Yuxian jumped out of bed and hurriedly ran to Kagarioka Tsubaki's room.
His noise woke everyone up.
Lying on the bed, Kagarioka Tsubaki appeared very quiet, with a faint glow emanating from her body.
Chiron rushed in and examined her. A few seconds later, he looked at Yuxian with disbelief. "What happened? She's completely recovered! Now, apart from being weak from being bedridden for so long, Kagarioka Tsubaki has absolutely no illness."
"She will wake up normally first thing tomorrow morning."
Yuxian stood there, stunned, and murmured, "Her Prince Charming awakened her..."
"Prince Charming?" Chiron pondered the meaning behind Yuxian, puzzled.
At this moment, the Earl slowly walked in. "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the Pale Rider, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
"The Pale Rider, a symbol of plague and calamity, has become the guardian knight of this little girl before me..."
"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe all of this."
"Children protected by calamity!"
The Earl looked at Kagarioka Tsubaki, who was lying quietly on the bed, with a complicated expression.
"From now on, no more misfortune will befall her, and she will be happy forever until the end of her life."
The Earl glanced at Kagarioka Tsubaki one last time, adding in his heart, "This is what you deserve, child..."
The children couldn't understand the Earl's words, which were full of sighs, but they understood one thing: Kagarioka Tsubaki was alright.
They cheered and congratulated each other.
"We can play with our little sister tomorrow!"
"Yes, I promised her I'd go eat the pastries from the shop we had today."
"That's great! We can eat it again!"
So many incredible things happened that night.
This is probably what they call...
Miracle!
Section 554, Chapter 40: The Roar of the Fanatics
The problem with Kagarioka Tsubaki was resolved in an unexpected way, Yuxian finally felt relieved.
As for the issue of her health gradually improving, these are minor matters. I believe that it won't be long before Kagarioka Tsubaki becomes lively and energetic again.
The Pale Rider, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, was actually this Pale Rider. Yuxian was somewhat surprised when he found Servant.
It's quite a coincidence that Kagarioka Tsubaki summoned such a Servant without even realizing it.
Fate is always so wonderful and inexplicable.
The next morning, the children waited in Kagarioka Tsubaki's room for her to wake up.
"Why isn't the little sister awake yet? It's already dawn."
The children were getting impatient, Yuxian shook his head at them, but he let them be as they pleased, as long as they were happy.
It took a long time for Kagarioka Tsubaki to slowly wake up.
"Mr. Darky!"
The first thing Kagarioka Tsubaki called out when she woke up was the name of the Pale Rider. After the dream world collapsed, she was truly asleep this time.
When she saw the children gathered around her bed, Kagarioka Tsubaki rubbed her eyes, somewhat surprised.
She asked, "Have you seen Mr. Darky?"
The children looked at each other, unsure how to answer.
They quickly forgot about it and started chattering away, leaving Kagarioka Tsubaki somewhat bewildered.
But she was happy that her friends were talking to her and caring about her, even though she didn't understand what was going on.
"Let's grab something to eat together," Yuxian called out.
Mash thoughtfully prepared some nutritious rice porridge for Kagarioka Tsubaki so that she could recover as soon as possible.
Kagarioka Tsubaki looked around curiously and found that this place was very different from the dream world she had always been in.
Everything here is colorful, and the noise from the cars outside seems so real.
"What's going on?" She was a little confused, but it didn't matter, everyone looked happy, so she smiled too.
After breakfast, Chiron checked on the health of the Kagarioka Tsubaki again.
"How is it?" Yuxian asked.
"No problem," Chiron said with a smile. "She recovered very quickly and is completely normal now."
Yuxian nodded. It seemed that the Pale Rider was really too good to Kagarioka Tsubaki. His blessing not only freed Kagarioka Tsubaki from the torment of bacteria in her mind, but also restored her body to a certain extent.
Who would have thought that the knight, who symbolizes calamity, is actually a warm-hearted man?
"However, she has lost her Magus's constitution and has become an ordinary person," Chiron added.
"That's even better!" Yuxian said. "The world of Magus shouldn't be a place for little girls like her. Living as an ordinary person is a better thing for her. That's probably what the Pale Rider wanted too. He must also want Kagarioka Tsubaki to enjoy a happy life like an ordinary little girl."
Mash asked, "What are you planning to do with Kagarioka Tsubaki? She can't stay with us forever; we need to find her a family to take care of her."
Yuxian nodded, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Let's look for her. This city is so big, there must be some kind-hearted families willing to adopt her."
"What we need to do is find a reliable family, a family that is truly willing to treat her as their own child."
"I believe we can definitely find it."
The children were overjoyed to learn that Kagarioka Tsubaki was completely normal and immediately wanted to take her out to play and share the things they found fun.
Yuxian smiled slightly and agreed to the request; he was in a very good mood.
The group strolled through the streets, chatting and laughing. The children kept explaining everything they saw to Kagarioka Tsubaki, seemingly forgetting that Kagarioka Tsubaki was actually more familiar with the city than they were.
In the cheerful atmosphere, Kagarioka Tsubaki gradually became more active. It must be said that the children did a very good job in this matter, and their presence greatly helped Kagarioka Tsubaki to get out of her previous world.
Time flies, and a day has passed in the blink of an eye. The sun is slowly setting in the west, and Snowfield is about to welcome night.
"It's time to go back!" Yuxian reminded the children, who were having so much fun they didn't want to leave, to prepare to return.
However, at this moment, the fanatic who had been following Yuxian and the others like a ghost got into trouble.
Her body slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
