"Sakura, what's wrong?"
"..."
Without much hesitation, Toosaka Sakura stretched out her little finger and pointed at the scabbard lying quietly in the box on the table.
"Dad~"
“It just glowed!”
After hearing his daughter's description, Tōsaka Tokiomi realized that something seemed amiss and asked cautiously.
"Sakura...what is that light? Please explain it to dad in more detail."
"White, yellow, or something else?"
Toosaka Sakura scratched her face, trying hard to recall the scene just now, but found that she couldn't remember it no matter what.
Looking at her like this, Tōsaka Tokiomi realized that this might just be a misunderstanding.
However, he did not blame his daughter. Instead, he reached out and touched Sakura Tohsaka's soft hair.
"It looks like you forgot temporarily, Sakura."
"In that case—"
"Why don't you go to bed first? Maybe you'll remember it when you wake up."
"Yeah~" Toosaka Sakura nodded obediently.
"I see!"
[Tousaka Sakura rarely objects to her father's arrangements.]
[Besides, she really couldn't remember what the scene was like when the scabbard glowed just now.]
[She decided to go to bed first as her father had arranged—maybe she would really remember it when she woke up.]
【She returned to her room.】
[And her mother, Zenjo Aoi, was already waiting for her there with a storybook in hand. ]
【This is Toosaka Sakura's favorite bedtime story time. 】
【She will hear many interesting things during this period. 】
"This is the story of King Arthur."
Zenjo Aoi closed the book on his knees, then looked at his daughter and asked softly:
"Sakura, do you like it?"
"Like it~"
Toosaka Sakura first smiled and nodded, but soon showed a confused expression.
Zenjo Aoi, who loves her daughter dearly, naturally wouldn't notice the contrast between the two.
She lifted up the strands of hair on Sakura Tousaka's forehead and asked gently:
"Sakura."
"You seem... confused about something? Can you tell mom?"
"Mom." Sakura Tohsaka looked at her mother who had finished telling her the story of "The Legend of King Arthur".
"King Arthur...why would she give up the throne at that time and give it to her sister?"
"She did a great job, didn't she?"
"..."
Zenjo Aoi's expression suddenly became somewhat embarrassed, as if he had thought of some realistic situation.
She completely hid this emotion in her heart and continued to explain the reason to Toosaka Sakura.
"Because King Arthur knew his sister could do better."
"That's why she was so brave to choose to give up the throne."
"Xiaoying, you should also follow her example and be brave."
"Eh--?"
A few blushes appeared on Toosaka Sakura's cheeks.
"I understand! I will try my best!"
"Well." Zenjo Aoi smiled slightly, "Then have a good rest."
"Good~"
Standing at the door, Zenjo Aoi took one last look at her daughter and gently turned off the light for her.
After turning around, she fell into endless sorrow.
[Based on past experience, Toosaka Sakura should fall asleep quickly while lying on the bed. ]
【But today's situation seems a little different. 】
She found herself unable to sleep.
"Why can't I sleep..."
Little Tousaka Sakura tightly grasped the quilt covering her body.
She puffed up her cheeks and shouted like a spell: "Sleep! Sleep! I want to sleep!"
However, the harder Toosaka Sakura shouted, the more she found herself unable to sleep.
Finally, the little girl had no choice but to use the most traditional method.
That's counting sheep!
She closed her eyes and began to imagine herself as a shepherd.
"One sheep... two sheep... three sheep... four sheep... glowing sheep... glowing scabbard..."
"Eh?!"
After counting something strange, Toosaka Sakura opened her eyes.
She suddenly realized why she couldn't sleep - it was actually because of the scabbard just now.
The little Loli found that she cared too much about it.
But... no way!
If I get up at this time, my parents will definitely be unhappy.
You absolutely cannot do this.
That wouldn't be a good child.
Thinking of this, Toosaka Sakura dived into the quilt and tried to fall into a deep sleep.
【Tousaka Sakura loves her parents very much. 】
[She didn't want them to be angry because of her, so she chose this way to avoid her true thoughts.]
[This is a very effective method in normal times. ]
[But it’s useless at this moment]
[The more Tousaka Sakura tried to forget the scabbard of Excalibur Gallatin, the more she remembered it.]
[She was even able to draw a rough picture of what it would look like in her mind.]
[In the end, she even heard some kind of voice.]
"How about a meeting?"
A clear and gentle question bloomed into Toosaka Sakura's ears, scaring her so much that she curled up in the quilt.
After a long time, the little girl poked half of her head out of the quilt and shouted outside.
"who are you?!"
However, there was no response.
Toosaka Sakura waited for a long time, and only after making sure it was safe did she carefully get out of the quilt.
She began to murmur.
Did you hear it wrong?
No.
It's unlikely that I heard it wrong.
After all, it is very clear.
And the voice didn't sound like some scary ghost...it sounded more like a friendly stranger.
or--
Let's take another look at the scabbard?
[Once an idea is planted in the heart, it will quickly take root and sprout, growing into a big tree called action. ]
[Tousaka Sakura increasingly wants to go back to the study room where the scabbard of the Excalibur Gallatin is located.]
[This idea is getting stronger and stronger.]
[Finally, the little Lolita couldn't control herself and took action. ]
Brush and pull.
Toosaka Sakura opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out a cute little flashlight.
There is a little rabbit pasted on it, which she added herself.
Wearing pajamas, she held the light-emitting object as if she was holding faith.
With a click, the flashlight turned on.
There was a small white circle of light on the ground.
Thus, Toosaka Sakura embarked on her night journey.
[Tousaka Sakura's sleeping place is still some distance away from the study. ]
[And there is a biggest difficulty hidden in it - that is, you have to pass through the room where your parents are. 】
[This is a challenge that cannot be avoided in any way. ]
【Tousaka Sakura is very worried about this. 】
in the corridor.
Sakura Toosaka, holding the rabbit flashlight, looked at the pale yellow light coming from the door of her parents' room, which was not completely closed, and couldn't help shuddering.
This was the first time she went against her parents' wishes, and she was somewhat uncomfortable with it.
but--
The little loli really wanted to see the scabbard again.
So even though she knew it was not a good idea to do so, she felt she had to give it a try.
Besides, after all, I just want to accomplish the task of "sleeping".
After taking a look at the scabbard, I could sneak back into the room without anyone noticing, and they wouldn't be angry!
Having successfully convinced herself, Toosaka Sakura took a deep breath.
She adjusted her mood, then turned off the flashlight, held her breath, and walked forward quietly.
She was going to just pass by her parents' room and complete her meeting with the scabbard.
but--
Just as Toosaka Sakura walked near the light, she heard a sob.
Is that... the sound of a mother crying?
It was the first time that the little girl heard such a sound.
Although if you only take one more step forward, you will cross the most "dangerous" part of this late night journey.
