Chapter 793: The Quest for Another Master
Chapter 793: The Quest for Another Master
In the streets of the new capital of the East District in Fuyuki City, a young man with white hair, dressed casually, was walking hand-in-hand with a little girl in black hair and a black dress.
"Sakura, we should be done soon. You've bought quite a few clothes already. If we keep shopping, we won't have time to go to the amusement park you mentioned."
The Holy Grail War was about to begin, but since all seven Heroic Spirits had not yet been summoned, the war had not officially started.
After a few days of brief interaction, Sakura's attitude towards Night City had gradually changed from initial curiosity and unease to affection and dependence.
Children are the most sensitive, especially intelligent ones like Sakura. She could clearly sense others' malice or their genuine kindness towards her.
Uncle Yan Ye's help and sympathy were largely due to her being the daughter of Faruzuki Kui, not because of Sakura herself.
Night City, however, was different. At first, Sakura was merely curious about his warm and gentle magical power. But despite his strength surpassing Kiryu Zangyin's, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
After a few days together, Sakura realized that this powerful and mysterious teacher wasn't as scary as she had imagined.
During these days, he not only taught her magic but also showed genuine care and concern for her well-being.
Even when she struggled with her magic lessons, Night City never scolded or punished her. Instead, he patiently comforted and encouraged her.
Noticing that she had been wearing the same clothes for several days, Night City kindly suggested they go shopping together, only to end up buying clothes for her.
In short, Sakura felt a long-forgotten love in Night City's presence.
He was like a caring teacher, guiding her with patience, and a loving older brother, warming and healing her wounded heart.
Night City's gentle and approachable nature encouraged the once timid Sakura to open up and reveal her true self, acting like a child and playfully teasing him.
There was a newly built amusement park in Fuyuki City that Sakura had always wanted to visit.
Her mother had promised that on her birthday, she would take Sakura and her sister there to play.
However, their father, Faruzuki Tokito, was always busy with work, and the day she had been eagerly awaiting never came. Instead, she was abandoned by her parents and adopted into the Kiryu family, where she endured a nightmare-like existence.
Sakura no longer thought about her past family. She wanted to create beautiful memories with Night City, making the most of their time together.
Glancing at the large and small bags in Night City's hands and then at the Ferris wheel in the distance, Sakura finally made a difficult decision: "After we buy some clothes for you too, let's go to the amusement park."
Night City's outing with Sakura wasn't solely to heal her wounded soul. He was also searching for someone.
Ryusei Ryuunosuke, a despicable serial killer and a mad performance artist, committed heinous acts to understand and master death.
His depravity knew no bounds, as he would even raise a butcher knife against his family without hesitation.
Ryuunosuke's targets were indiscriminate, driven solely by the pleasure he derived from the death of others.
And although he was a deranged killer, he was ultimately just an ordinary man, so the targets he chose to murder were mostly children.
The reason was simple; compared to adults, children were more defenseless and easier to catch.
As Rain Ryuunosuke indulged in his killing spree, the Holy Grail chose him, and he summoned the Heroic Spirit Gilles de Rais, whose compatibility with him was exceptional.
Gilles de Rais, the infamous Bluebeard, was a notorious black wizard in European history.
After being summoned by Rain Ryuunosuke, with the support of supernatural power, countless innocent children fell victim to the duo.
Night City didn't know how many had perished at their hands before the Silly King and his group found their hideout.
But now that he knew this plot, Night City wouldn't allow such scum to reappear in this Holy Grail War.
Although he wasn't a saint, he despised the act of slaughtering children, and Rain Ryuunosuke, being an ordinary man, was not worthy of living. Night City also took advantage of his identity as a Master in the Holy Grail War.
Since Rain Ryuunosuke was an ordinary man, Night City's spiritual perception was useless against him. Finding an ordinary person in a city was not an easy task for Night City.
However, through the news over the past few days, Night City had roughly determined Rain Ryuunosuke's area of activity based on the locations where the victims were killed. This was why Night City brought Sakura to this amusement park.
Amusement parks were undoubtedly places with the most children, and due to the dense population, it was common for children to get lost.
Indeed, Night City's luck proved to be excellent. Although he wasn't sure if Rain Ryuunosuke would be there, when he arrived at the amusement park with Sakura, he quickly spotted his target.
There was no mistaking Rain Ryuunosuke with his distinctive orange hair, and with 42 people having already died at his hands, the malevolence he exuded was far too noticeable compared to an ordinary person.
At this moment, he held a bunch of balloons, surrounded by several children, and as he looked at these innocent kids, a radiant smile appeared on his face as if he were eyeing prey.
"Mr. Night City, do you need me to take action?"
Lancelot, in his Heroic Spirit form, slowly appeared behind Sakura and asked, his gaze also fixed on Rain Ryuunosuke, Night City's target.
Lancelot was aware of Night City's intention to eliminate the serial killer, as he had been at the Kiryu residence, acting as a full-time nanny.
Not only did he handle all the chores, but he was also an excellent cook. According to him, the Knights of the Round Table had some skills in cooking, which made it easier for them to take care of their king.
Lancelot was also aware of the news Night City had been following lately. When he saw Rain Ryuunosuke, he immediately recognized him as Night City's target.
As a righteous knight, Lancelot also despised scum like Rain Ryuunosuke. Although the Holy Grail War had rules prohibiting Heroic Spirits from harming ordinary people, Lancelot believed that Rain Ryuunosuke no longer qualified as a "human." Even if he killed him, the Church would likely turn a blind eye.
