A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1097

Chapter 1097: Chapter 753: Difficult Problem Chapter 1097: Chapter 753: Difficult Problem To tell the truth, Duanmu Huai had not expected the situation to turn out this way.

After consulting with Alice Phil, Duanmu Huai realized that this matter was far more troublesome than any Holy Grail War.

According to Alice Phil, Sakura's existence was indeed problematic because, as she and Medea discovered upon examination, Sakura's magic attribute was of the Imaginary Attributes, a very rare type of magic attribute. Hence, Tokiomi Tohsaka's decision to adopt Sakura out to the Matou family, although hard to accept, was indeed one solution. The reason was simple–if Sakura didn't adopt into the Matou family and inherit the Matou family's Imprint, then she was likely to be captured by the Magic Association as a rare specimen for sealing–meaning being preserved directly in Formalin as a specimen.

Then one might ask, couldn't Sakura just hide her identity and live the life of a commoner?

Ah, that really wasn't possible!

According to Alice Phil, a magician's blood possesses demonic qualities, and demonic qualities attract each other, something Duanmu Huai could understand. After all, Psychics naturally attract Subspace Demons. So even if you placed Sakura in an ordinary family's home, her blood would still attract demons or other supernatural, messy things.

So….like Tokiomi Tohsaka did, adopting Sakura to a Magician Family turned out to be the best course of action.

Absolutely speechless.

So what about finding another magician to adopt Sakura?

At least one not as inhumane as the Matou?

But that seemed difficult as well, since it appeared that all the magicians in this world were in pursuit of the Origin. From the Tribunal's point of view, all the magicians in the world were heretics eager to open the Subspace gate and were all in need of purification.

If it weren't for the fact that this was the past, Duanmu Huai would have thought about summoning the Tribunal Fleet to take out the Magic Association directly.

The epitome of heretics.

Thus, finding a reliable Magician Family to foster Sakura turned out to be the only way after all.

But the problem was… who to approach?

The Tohsaka family was definitely out of the question, Matou had already been burned by Duanmu Huai, Einzbern–naturally, also not an option.

After all, Duanmu Huai and company knew virtually nothing about this world and didn't know who to approach.

However, Alice Phil happened to know two Magician Families.

One was the Millennium Tree located in Eastern Europe, and the other was Aozaki Mikan, a magician who graduated from the Clock Tower with Crown Position. Both had previously gone to Einzbern wanting to exchange techniques for puppetry with the Einzbern Family and had met with Alice Phil.

So there was nothing more to say after that.

“Anyway, let's meet Aozaki Mikan first.”

Duanmu Huai had no intention of directly placing Sakura in Aozaki Mikan's care. It was just that this is how the magician's circle worked. Even if Aozaki Mikan was not suitable, she at least might know other magicians.

Of course, Duanmu Huai still hoped to leave Sakura in Japan, which was why he sought out Aozaki Mikan first. After all, Eastern Europe was too far, and Sakura was only a few years old at the time. It seemed overly hard for a child to leave her homeland. So ideally, it was better for her to stay in her own country.

Doctor Roman had no objections. The past and present timelines were separate, and Chaldea was spared from destruction because it existed outside of time. So no matter how long Duanmu Huai stayed in this past, it was only an instant for Chaldea.

If possible, Duanmu Huai could also stay here until Sakura grew up, only… well, it depended on the circumstances.

Duanmu Huai had never raised a child before.

Generally speaking, finding a magician wasn't an easy task, but luckily Alice Phil had once received a business card from Aozaki Mikan during their meeting. Such a thing was usually insignificant, but the earnest and obedient Alice Phil had carefully kept it.

Unexpectedly, it became useful at this moment.

After making a phone call and coordinating with Aozaki Mikan, Duanmu Huai and company arrived in Kambu-shi, Tokyo.

“So Mash and Lorena, you'll take care of Sakura while I go meet Aozaki Mikan.”

After completing the hotel accommodation procedures, Duanmu Huai decisively gave the order.

“Is this okay?”

Mash seemed quite excited to be able to come to modern society, but she was still somewhat anxious.

“You won't be attacked, will you?”

“No problem, in front of Medea, modern magicians are like elementary schoolers. Unless they also summon a Heroic Spirit, they can't possibly harm Medea or Alice Phil. Of course, you should be careful as well, and take good care of Sakura…”

While saying this, Duanmu Huai looked over at the girl standing next to Lorena, who was still nervously hiding behind her, peeking out only to curiously watch Duanmu Huai.

“Well then, that's it.”

Duanmu Huai reached out his hand to pat Sakura on the head, then left the hotel with Alice Phil and Medea, heading for the previously arranged location.

It must be said, along the way, the trio of Duanmu Huai drew quite a bit of attention. Putting aside Duanmu Huai's own imposing stature and memorable appearance, the beautiful women Alice Phil and Medea following him also turned heads. So much so that there were people who were so entranced by them that they bumped into lampposts–an old-fashioned scenario that played out more than once.
