章 4: Chapter 04

"Ahem, I was just kidding, there is nothing to be afraid of." Ryuji coughed to cover up his embarrassment, no matter what he said, he couldn't lose face in front of his Heroic Spirit.

　　But to be honest, he really didn't need to worry about ghosts, there were quite a number of ghost killers among the contracted Heroic Spirits.

　　Hmm, for example... Minamoto-no-Raikou?

　　Hmph, if there really was a ghost that came blindly to his house, he could already imagine the scene of Raiko wielding a katana, and staring at the trembling ghost huddled in a corner.

　　So, what are we afraid of if we are the big boss?

　　Thinking of this, Ryuji passed by Artoria, and knocked on the door.

　　As expected, no response.

　　"Is there anyone? If you don't say anything, I'll have to go in myself." Ryuji made a final announcement, no matter if it was a human or a ghost, he had to find out.

　　Still no response.

　　Ryuji was annoyed for a while, and he wasn't taken seriously, after all he was the one who saved the world!

　　Ryuji placed his hand on the doorknob, unlocked it with simple Magecraft, and pushed the door carefully to enter.

　　As soon as he entered the door, he saw a pink girls' room, a large bed, a low table, and a plush doll placed beside the bed.

　　The corners of Ryuji's mouth twitched, was this still the living room in his memory?

　　His eyes saw the bed, the sheets on the bed were obviously bulging, and it seemed that they were still moving!

　　Ryuji hid his face, it seemed that he had thought too much before, whether it was a ghost or a Magus from the Mage Association, they weren't beings with low IQ.

　　Throwing an apologetic look at her, Artoria pouted slightly and led her back to the Heroic Spirits storage room.

　　After all, if there was an ordinary person under the covers, better not let her see Artoria in battle armor.

　　After bringing Artoria back, Ryuji slowly approached the large pink bed, keeping his guard up.

　　"You can come out now, or do you want me to take off the covers?" Ryuji issued an ultimatum and said to the person on the blanket.

　　The bulge of the blanket shook, and finally opened a crack slowly, exposing the head.

　　Beautiful little girl!

　　Ryuuji's eyes lit up. Even if he had multiple waifu, cough, he had a Heroic Spirit partner, he still had to admit that the little girl in front of him was a rare beauty.

　　Skin as white as snow, long hair silvery white, and pupils azure water, she looks a little pitiful at this moment, making people want to take care of her.

　　Seeing such a cute girl, Ryuji's tone increased greatly, and he asked softly, "Little sister, who are you and why are you in my house?"

　　The little silver-haired girl seemed to think of something, took out a cell phone from under the bed, dialed a number, then handed it to Ryuji, and then returned to the bed covers, only showing her head.

　　Ryuji lifted the cell phone and put it to his ear, a familiar voice came from inside.

　　"Hello, Sagiri-chan, it's rare for you to take the initiative to call us. Mom is so happy!"

　　The voice inside was undoubtedly Ryuji's mother whom he had not seen for a year.

　　But who is Sagiri-chan and his 'mother', could this pair of unscrupulous parents take advantage of Ryuji's absence to have another child? But it's impossible to grow so fast!

　　Without waiting for Ryuji to ask, the other side of the phone continued: "You can come here with us, we are already part of the family, so you don't need to be embarrassed."

　　"Why is Sagiri-chan calling all of a sudden? Could something have happened? Don't worry, we'll be right back on the plane!"

　　An anxious voice came from the other end of the line, still asking Sagiri if something happened.

　　Ryuji really didn't want to pay attention to this mother, and said with a bit of helplessness: "There's no Sagiri-chan here, only your son."

　　There was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a while, Ryuji's mother asked doubtfully: "Is this Ryuji's voice?"

　　Oh, how fondly you remember the voice of your son!

　　Ryuji was helpless to complain, and asked: "It's me, I just got home, what happened to this Sagiri?"

　　Hearing her own name, Sagiri raised her head, but she immediately backed away when she met Ryuji's eyes.

　　Ryuji's mother on the other side of the phone thought for a moment, and felt that she should tell Ryuji, sighed, and explained: "Sagiri is the child of my relative, and my relative remarried not long ago, and went to spend their honeymoon vacation, honey. The plane had an accident."

　　"There were only two children in the family, and those two children couldn't live independently, so we adopted Sagiri-chan, while the other child was raised by a relative there."

　　Ryuji's mother briefly explained Sagiri's situation.

　　"Is that so?" Ryuji slightly changed his view of his parents, he didn't expect them to have such love.

　　"After all, some money will be transferred to the account every month, so you don't have to worry about the financial situation, and isn't Sagiri-chan cute?"

　　Puff!

　　Return my sympathy! You all just saw Sagiri's cuteness!

　　And do you know where the money comes from? It is your son's reward for working so hard to save the world, and you use it so freely!
