I'm Ornn, and I'm about to be beaten to my knees by the Man-eating Horse Girl!

"That old man even entrusted this child to me. How am I supposed to take care of him? I'm not a childcare professional. It's made the situation so awkward."

Orn racked his brains for a topic to break the silence in the car, his mind a meager collection of information on how to soothe a child.

Seemingly sensing Orn's thoughts, Satomi Kozumi spoke first.

She turned her head solemnly and asked in a somewhat curious tone, "Mr. Orn, shouldn't it be the time for the summer training camp? Why have you returned here alone?"

Orn replied, "Ah, it is indeed the time of the summer training camp. I mainly came back to pick up some things."

"I've pretty much arranged their training schedule. When I get back this time, I guess they'll be starting a very tedious training program, right?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but recall the surprise that the prankster of the Dolan team had brought him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up as he said, "No, maybe the training process will be very interesting too."

"My team members... none of them are easy to deal with!"

Satomi Hikari blinked, her amber eyes glancing furtively at Orn before she asked softly, "Mr. Orn's team... has many people joined?"

"A lot? I don't think so. There are only four people right now."

Orn said, "Compared to the hard-working students in the academy who often have more than a dozen people, my team of four is already considered very small."

Satomi Hikari swung her legs and suddenly asked, "Mr. Orn, after I graduate from elementary school, can I join your team?"

"Of course you can. After all, I made an appointment with Uncle Chuanhe. You can come here to train after you graduate."

Orn asked with a smile, "But are you sure you want to join my team? My training is very rigorous, you know?"

Little Mare puffed out her chest and said confidently, "Don't be afraid! Dia will adapt to any difficult training!"

"The curse that makes the horse girl fear rigorous training... I will break it!"

A curse... Is this some kind of secret code unique to her?

Orn wasn't quite sure what the "spell" Satomi Hikari was talking about was, but the girl's confident expression was quite amusing.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Drill, would you like to see my workshop? Before I became a trainer, I did some really interesting crafts on the side, you know?"

"Uncle Beidao and your father both came to me before to order some fun little items. If you like them, I can give you a few as well."

Satomi Hikari's ears twitched slightly, and in the sunlight streaming through the car, the hair on her ears seemed to be enveloped in a layer of transparent luster.

"Mr. Orn, do you have anything that can break the curse?"

Seemingly realizing that her words were ambiguous, the girl quickly waved her hands and added, "What I mean is, is there anything that can ward off evil spirits and bring good luck?"

"You mean the lucky charm?"

Ornn recalled the little gadgets he had made before, and nodded, saying, "I have a lot of these, light diamonds. You seem to be very interested in [spells]?"

"Yes! My biggest goal right now is to keep breaking the curse!"

With her tail bobbing up and down, Hikari Satomi excitedly said, "I've already broken so many spells back in school! My teachers all praised me as a spell-breaking expert!"

The girl counted on her fingers and said, "Let me think about the curses I broke! Hmm... I broke the curse that everyone would be affected by strange noises in the school building, I broke the curse that the teachers would have continuous high fevers, and I even broke the curse that Xiao Bei would strangely wake up at night..."

"Ah! I'm sorry! Mr. Orn, I got a little too excited! Did I disturb you?"

Orn laughed and said, "It's alright, it seems you really enjoy this hobby."

"Oh, we've arrived. That house over there was my old studio."

Upon hearing this, Satomi Hikari looked out the window and saw a three-story building standing not far away. The streets on both sides were empty, and this single building seemed to have suddenly appeared on the side of the street.

The girl followed Orn out of the car. The driver and several accompanying personnel, who had already received instructions from Kawatsuru, faithfully guarded the area around the house.

Orn took out his hammer and gently knocked on the doorknob. The white wooden door opened with a click, and a cloud of sandalwood-scented air wafted into their nostrils.

"Come in, I'll go upstairs to get the cups first. You can look around as you like."

"Excuse me~"

Satomi Hikari stepped into the room with some curiosity, and what came into view were walls covered with all sorts of strange and unusual items.

The artworks were mostly swords and weapons, but there were also some interesting sculptures and ornaments.

The room was dimly lit, but not pitch black. Several luminous pearls hanging on the wall emitted a soft glow. Reflected by the enamel and glass, the entire space was enveloped in a gentle light, creating an atmosphere of profound elegance and solemnity.

'Are all of these... antiques made by Mr. Orn? Wow, that's amazing...'

Even Satomi Hikari, who came from a wealthy family and had seen many treasures, was somewhat stunned at this moment.

She carefully walked around the small bronze tree in front of the door, which looked like it had just been dug out of the ground, and went straight to a glass display case.

The display case contains a long, straight, rod-shaped object covered with many mysterious and exquisite patterns. Against a black and white backdrop, it exudes a somber and desolate atmosphere.

Judging from its appearance, it appears to be a device used for combat or ritual purposes.

In front of this display case, there was a small card with the name of the item written on it.

Satomi Kozumi murmured softly, "Olivendine Wand Shop, a fine wand-making shop with a 1,500-year history, whose customers all rave about it..."

The girl turned her head and asked in surprise, "Mr. Orn? Is this a magic wand that can cast spells?!"

Holding two teacups, Orn approached the display case, cleared his throat, and explained somewhat awkwardly, "In a sense, it is indeed a wand."

"Thirty-nine and a third inches, with an oak handle and a carbon steel shaft, and black powder and a lead core, this is clearly the wand of a strongman."

.◇.“?”

"Okay, then I'll put it another way,"

"This is a North American black oak walking stick, crafted by a master craftsman from Winchester, designed by John Browning, one of the greatest masters of the 19th century. The model number is M1887, and it comes with a No. 12 deer-hound lead core."

"This wand can unleash invisible attacks powerful enough to pierce any flesh, often rendering the enemy incapacitated and plunging them into an eternal slumber before they can even react. Therefore, this wand is also known as the Sleeping Wand, capable of inducing a peaceful sleep."

He paused, then, meeting Satomi Hikari's disapproving glare, affirmed, "Yes, it is indeed a wand, and a very powerful one at that."

Chapter 194 The Templar Knights' Sweet and Spicy Diapers

Clearly, Ornn's words might fool the newly minted Illustrious and Little Chestnut Hat, but trying to fool the well-informed heiress in front of him, especially one with extensive knowledge of the emerging gaming industry, was rather unrealistic.

Although Satomi Hikari is a girl, she's also a gaming legend. As the princess of a top-tier game development company, she's played more games than Ornn has ever played any artifacts. The moment she heard his explanation, Satomi Hikari understood what was in that display case.

She looked at Orn with a hint of reproach, pouting, and said, "Mr. Orn! This is just a flintlock pistol, not some kind of magic wand! Dia won't fall for it!"

"Alright, Miss Diamond is the smartest. Here, here's your reward: some plain water."

Orn's perfunctory, childlike words naturally provoked Satomi Hikari's displeasure. The girl's cheeks puffed up with anger: "Mr. Orn! I'm not a child anymore! I'm an adult who can break spells and train independently!"

Although she said that, she still obediently took the water cup that Orn handed her and drank the water in small sips.

"Okay, okay (perfunctory), Miss Guangzuan is indeed a mature adult now (loudly), I was wrong, I was wrong (perfunctory)."

Orn opened the compartment under the display case and rummaged through it, finding a whole bunch of strange and unusual trinkets.

He placed these items on the coffee table and then said, "Here, these are some small things I made before. Broadly speaking, these things can be considered amulets."

"Here, pick a few you like. You can also give these to someone you're close to."

Satomi Kozumi curiously peered out, observing the small items Orn had taken out, including traditional lucky charms such as amulets, mini crystal balls, and mini pendants of the Three Goddesses.

There are also modern-style items for good luck and reform, such as holographic Bagua arrays, automatic wooden fish-beating merit machines, and mechanized prayer and divination machines.

Orn smiled and said, "You can pick out some accessories that interest you to take back. You can take them all if you can carry them all."

"You can choose first. I'm going upstairs to tidy up the room now, and I'll come down in a bit."

“Okay~~~”

Satomi Hikari's tail swayed, and after Orn went upstairs, she began carefully selecting small items that suited her.

"Hmm... I'll get one for Dad, one for Crown, and one for Xiao Bei..."

"Ugh! This is such a difficult choice!"

Orn went up the stairs and pushed open the bedroom door; the things he had come back to take were in this room.

Inside the room sat a retro-style treasure chest, containing the pinnacle of craftsmanship Ornn had created using his own forging skills since arriving in this world.

An elderwood stick with inexplicable protrusions on it, a piece of golden brocade with the number 2/4 written on it, and a small hammer that seemed to be constantly emitting static electricity.

He took the golden cloth out of the box, cut the remaining cloth in two, then put one piece into his pocket and put the other piece back in the box.

The Eden Shroud is a counterfeit of the original item that Orn haphazardly concocted when he first arrived in this world.

Because it is a counterfeit, it differs from the original in its performance.

The holy shroud forged by Orn will not cause the user to be seduced by unknown voices, and its healing ability is permanent, not temporary.

However, this imitation also has its flaws. The Holy Shroud created by Orn cannot be used in its intact state; its healing properties only take effect after it is cut in half.

The portion that is most effective in stimulating the healing effect is exactly one-quarter of the complete Holy Shroud.

At the same time, the swaddling cloth does not prolong life.

"If only I had made a few more pieces of cloth back then, who would have thought I wouldn't be able to make something like this now..."

Orn sighed. A quarter of the Holy Shroud had been used to make the running shoes for Oguri Hat; he still had two pieces of cloth; and the remaining quarter should be with Mejiro Ardan.

"Speaking of which, I completely forgot to ask the Asama family to get this back. I hope they didn't lose this cloth?"

"I'll go back and ask Aldan later. It shouldn't be lost, right? I even mentioned to the head of the Asama family that this thing is very important."

He scratched his head, then closed the treasure chest in front of him and turned to walk downstairs.

After returning, he planned to first use the Holy Wrap to stabilize Sakura Chiyo's foot injury, and then use his Enhanced Hammer to assist in treatment and accelerate the healing of her leg muscles and bones.

Unlike Ornn's hammer enhancement, the Holy Shroud's healing speed is quite good. According to his estimate, it will only take about twenty days for Sakura Chiyo's leg injury to be fully recovered.

The replica I made myself couldn't quite replicate the exaggerated healing effects of the game's design, but it was more than enough time to complete within a month.

Next, Coach Sato will arrange two months of rehabilitation training, and Chiyo should be able to return to the competition around November of this year.

After Sakura Chiyo's leg injury had largely healed, Orn prepared to take the cloth to the Nonishi Ranch for further treatment.

However, before going to Nojin Ranch, he needed to wait for Asuka Izumi to provide a crucial factor.

The Holy Wrap can only heal physical injuries, but it cannot soothe emotional wounds. Perhaps he will be able to find the root of the problem on his next trip to Wild Brocade Ranch.

Back downstairs, Satomi Hikari was carefully selecting jewelry in front of her.

Her ears twitched intermittently. After much deliberation, the girl finally chose the four items she wanted to take with her.

Orn quietly approached Satomi Hikaru and asked with a smile, "Oh? Have you made your choice?"

"I've made my choice!"

Kozumi Satomi held up the handicrafts in her hand and said happily, "I'll choose these four!"

"This little knife is for Xiao Bei! This die is for Dad! This little crown is for Crown!"

Orn asked curiously, "So what souvenir did you choose for yourself?"

Satomi Hikari's tail first stood upright, then swayed from side to side before wrapping itself around his body again.

"This is the one I chose!!"

The girl proudly raised her right hand, and when Orn looked closely, he saw that what she was holding in her hand was... an iron chain!

The end of the chain passed through a blessing ring, securing it firmly to the chain.

Orn's mouth opened slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Hmm... Miss Guangzuan has some rather unique tastes. I originally thought you would choose that rhombus-shaped accessory..."

"I chose this one too!"

Satomi Kozumi then raised her left hand, holding the diamond-like ornament that Orn had suggested.

The girl threaded the chain through the hole at the top of the diamond jewelry, stringing the diamond and ring together as if making a necklace, then clutched it tightly in her hand.

A pure and beautiful smile appeared on her face as she looked at Orn and said happily, "Alright! That's it!"

"I've successfully broken the curse that prevents me from choosing two lucky items at the same time!"

Chapter 195 Guangzuan is a very capable child, in every sense of the word.

After playing with this young lady with her peculiar tastes for a while, Orn made an excuse that it was getting late and hurriedly saw her out the door as if she were a plague carrier.

He always felt that this seemingly well-behaved, cute, innocent, and ordinary young lady made him uneasy.

"Then, I'll leave Miss Guangzuan to you to escort back. I've already spoken to Uncle Chuanhe, and he'll send a car over tomorrow morning!"

The driver, Ma Niang, nodded calmly, but Riki Hikaru, who was holding her arm, seemed somewhat displeased.

She looked at Orn and asked innocently, "Mr. Orn! Can't I stay here for the night?"
