Li Xing thought nothing of it and immediately used flames to incinerate the entire tram. The tram exploded violently, and Li Xing appeared in the night sky, holding the little girl.
"I, hate bugs, very much."
"Stop being cool, hurry up and put on some clothes. Running around naked right after birth, it's a good thing it's night, otherwise, Xing, you'd be completely embarrassed."
Li Xing gave an awkward laugh, put on a piece of clothing, and then carried the unconscious little girl to a deserted street.
...
"Came to the neighborhood, huh. Not bad. So this little girl is Sakura?"
In a hotel, Li Xing had confirmed that this was Fuyuki City in the 1990s. In another year, the Fourth Holy Grail War would begin in Fuyuki.
"The first thing to do is to buy a house. Hmm, I should bring Siduri out too."
"Unlimited Domain!"
Li Xing gently tried to pull Siduri out and found no problems. It wouldn't create a singularity. It seemed Li Xing's guess was correct. This was like Aoko's Fourth Magic, discarding a person's death into the distant past to save them. Li Xing had done the opposite, bringing people into the future, and into a parallel dimension at that.
"Lord Li Xing? Why are you a child again? Where is this? I can come out already?" Siduri bombarded with questions the moment her eyes opened.
Li Xing then explained the situation to Siduri. As the chief priestess of Uruk, Siduri was naturally intelligent and quickly understood the current state of affairs.
"So that's how it is. Humanity's history has developed to this extent. King! Do you see this?"
If possible, Siduri would have wanted to die with Gilgamesh. But now that she had been saved by Li Xing, she naturally had to live as an ordinary person. Who would think of committing suicide? Even if she were to die, it should be meaningful. Moreover, with Li Xing around, it would be difficult for Siduri to die, and she had the protection of the Star Gods.
"This little girl will be our family from now on. My name is Li Xing, and I am your younger brother. Understand, Sister Siduri?"
Li Xing used the word "we," completely treating Siduri as family. Siduri instinctively covered her mouth, "Is it really okay? A god like you, can I really call you brother?"
"Of course it's true. I'm just an ordinary person too. Let's rest first. We'll buy a house tomorrow, and buy some clothes too. Modern clothes have so many designs." After speaking, Li Xing lay on a sofa, ready to sleep.
"Then... please take care of me from now on, brother."
Then Siduri looked at Sakura on the bed and gently caressed her face. What a pitiful child, to be abandoned by her parents at such a young age. Magicians of this era were truly inhuman. Siduri was already beginning to dislike the magicians of this era, they were far inferior to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"From now on, we are family..." Siduri looked at Sakura with a gentle expression and fell asleep without realizing it. Li Xing carried Siduri to Sakura's side, tucked them both in, and then slept on the sofa.
...
The next morning, Li Xing had already bought breakfast. When Li Xing returned, Siduri and Sakura were awake. Siduri was chatting with Sakura.
"Yo, you're awake. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Li Xing."
Sakura said softly, "My name is Matou Sakura."
Siduri had already told Sakura about yesterday's events. Sakura was saved by Li Xing in the explosion, although this was the excuse Li Xing had given Siduri.
"Sakura, brother likes to admire cherry blossoms the most. From now on, we are family." Li Xing smiled and stroked Sakura's head with a gentle expression.
Sakura knew her father and mother were going to give her to the Matou family. Sakura did not make a fuss about returning to the Tohsaka family, but this didn't seem to be the Matou family either.
"Sister Siduri has told you everything, right? We are from abroad, and we don't have a home in Fuyuki yet. We'll go buy a house later. Don't be afraid, I will give you the happiest life."
Sakura didn't say much, but obediently nodded. Perhaps due to her naturally submissive personality, Sakura showed no resistance, even though deep down she longed to reunite with her sister and mother.
"Sakura, from now on, we are family. I am your sister, Siduri. Li Xing is your brother. Come, have something to eat!"
Siduri held Sakura on her lap and fed her food. A child of this age should be eating by herself, but Siduri was worried about Sakura's psychological state, so she doted on her like a small child, giving her the greatest warmth, although Sakura was indeed a child.
...
After breakfast, Siduri took the two children to find a house. As for the identity issue, Li Xing's illusion magic solved it. Money was also not a concern, as Li Xing possessed the Gate of Babylon.
Finally, Siduri bought a large courtyard in Miyama-cho. Neither Li Xing nor Sakura minded living there, as long as it was a home.
"Sister Siduri, call me if you need anything. I need to go out for a bit."
After tidying up the house, Li Xing went directly to the Matou residence. Some people needed to be dealt with.
...
Matou Residence.
Matou Kariya was arguing with his father, Matou Zouken.
"If your goal is the Holy Grail, then I will participate in this Holy Grail War. I will obtain the Holy Grail, but in exchange, you must return Sakura!" Matou Kariya had decided to step into the path of magic he hated the most for Sakura's sake and win the Holy Grail War.
"Kariya, are you sure? The Holy Grail War will begin in a year. Is it too late to decide now?" Matou Zouken had not obtained Sakura, but he did not tell Matou Kariya that there were no more excellent successors with magic talent. Since Matou Kariya offered, Matou Zouken was more than happy to accept.
"Use your bug magic! Plant Crest Worms on me!" Matou Kariya said without hesitation.
Matou Zouken smiled. Since this was the case, he could try it, although Matou Zouken did not have high expectations for Matou Kariya.
...
After planting Crest Worms on Matou Kariya, Matou Zouken came to a bug storage.
"Who took Sakura away? Or was it just a tram accident?"
"Hmph! Forget it. The Tohsaka family still has a young girl. Tohsaka Tokiomi, you'd best die in this Holy Grail War..."
"Old man, you're not satisfied with targeting Sakura and now you want Rin? You're truly trash!" At this moment, Li Xing's voice came from behind Matou Zouken.
Matou Zouken was greatly alarmed. Someone had entered this place without a sound. The moment he made a move, Li Xing stomped him onto the ground, rendering him immobile.
A Holy Grail suddenly appeared in Li Xing's hand, and he played with it for a moment. "Old man, don't you like the Holy Grail? Why are you lying on the ground? Get up, get up, you'll catch a cold lying on the ground."
Seeing the Holy Grail in Li Xing's hand, Matou Zouken gradually went mad, his eyes turning red. He wanted to snatch the Holy Grail, but he couldn't move a single finger.
"Want the Holy Grail? I just love seeing you desperately wanting it but being unable to obtain it." Li Xing laughed heartily and crushed the Holy Grail with one hand. The fragments turned into golden light and disappeared.
"Talking to you is a waste of life. Die!" After saying that, flames erupted from under Li Xing's feet, burning Matou Zouken's body, from body to soul, until Matou Zouken completely dissipated.
Li Xing reached into the void and pulled out a bug with a forceful tug. Disgusted, Li Xing didn't even want to touch it.
"You! Who are you! How could you know..."
Before Matou Zouken could finish his words, he was burned to nothingness by a black flame. Li Xing was too lazy to waste words with this old man. Even if he knew his identity, it wouldn't change the outcome of being killed.
...
In a room in the Matou residence, a little boy with seaweed-like hair was sleeping soundly on the bed.
A sharp blade sliced through, and Matou Shinji's body was divided into thousands of pieces, finally being cremated and disposed of by fire.
"Next... only Matou Tsuruno is left." Li Xing's face showed an evil smile. Today, he was determined to annihilate the Matou family.
