Dragon of the Root - Chapter 1011: Anna's Money
Chapter 1011: Anna’s Money
That’s right, Anna entered through the door, but now she no longer covered her face with the hood of her robe, and she still had a smile on her face.
“Welcome back Anna, you went to the old lady’s house at the nearby flower shop again.”
Wu Ming glanced at Merlin, when he heard that Merlin and Mashu were sleeping, he also thought that Anna was sleeping too, so he didn’t ask where Anna was.
In the end, Anna just walked away, and only Merlin played a word game involving psychological warfare with him. Of course, in the final analysis, Wu Ming did not pay attention to this.
“Un, I have to go out again, come back to put things.”
Anna nodded, she wasn’t surprised that Merlin knew her whereabouts. After all, Merlin was a peek.
But today Anna was in a good mood, so she wouldn’t trouble Merlin.
Then under the confused gazes of Wu Ming and Merlin, Anna walked into the kitchen and immediately came out.
After Anna came out, Wu Ming immediately spoke.
“Anna, there’s something I want to ask you.”
Anna paused when she heard those words, as if a little crumpled.
Seeing that Anna seemed to have something to do, Wu Ming came up with a solution.
“It’s just a very ordinary thing, I will go with you, it can be done on the road.”
Anna thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
After that, Wu Ming and Anna walked out of the Chaldea Embassy together.
After watching the two of them leave, Merlin went into the kitchen to see what Anna had just taken or put in, but he saw a plate on the kitchen table with leftover cakes on it.
“This is the plate where I put the butter cake!?”
Merlin’s scream came from the kitchen, which reminded Fou upstairs, while Gudako and Mashu didn’t hear Merlin’s scream because of Merlin’s illusion.
…..
On the road, Wu Ming glanced at the Chaldea embassy behind him, he seemed to hear Merlin’s screams, or was he hallucinating?
Anna realized that the grief belonged to Merlin, but she didn’t feel guilty at all.
“Is there something wrong?” Anna’s sudden speech made Wu Ming ignore Merlin’s grief.
“I have something for you.”
After that, Wu Ming waved his hand, and a golden ripple appeared in front of Anna, and a golden shadow appeared and fell directly, which Anna subconsciously took advantage of.
“This… the Holy Grail?”
Yes, Anna holds the Holy Grail.
However Anna was a little confused, what did Wu Ming do for his Holy Grail?
“I took this Holy Grail from Fuyuki City, and Matou Sakura who was taken away with me, was sealed in the Holy Grail”
Wu Ming’s words took Anna by surprise.
As the first Master she met, Anna still had a good impression of the young Matou Sakura.
After she found out that the whole world where Sakura lived was on fire, Anna more than once worried what would happen to Sakura after she left.
Luckily in the end, Wu Ming promised to take good care of Sakura, so Anna didn’t have to worry about leaving the stage.
At first, Anna thought that Sakura would be taken to a place called Chaldea, but what she didn’t expect was that she was actually put into the Holy Grail by Wu Ming.
“Being in the Holy Grail for a long time and receiving a lot of magic power will help increase his potential and abilities as a Magus.”
Wu Ming seemed to be forcing an explanation, his face was not red and his conscience was innocent.
At first Wu Ming just wanted to temporarily keep Sakura in the Holy Grail, then free Sakura after some free time.
As a result, who would have thought that the next series of events would occur, so Wu Ming had to leave the Holy Grail to Kingu.
Luckily Kingu didn’t do anything to Sakura, or didn’t find Sakura in the middle of the Holy Grail.
After a series of events, the Holy Grail returns to Wu Ming’s hands, but his ability to enhance Sakura is not fake.
When Sakura came out of the Holy Grail, her magic circuit and the quality of her magic power would be greatly improved.
When Wu Ming came to Anna, he wanted to exchange Sakura for Anna.
At least Sakura and Anna should meet each other no matter what. When Sakura is released from the Holy Grail, Anna will come.
“You might think you appeared because of the Gorgons, but I think you appeared because of Sakura.”
After Wu Ming shut his mouth, and Anna fell silent, the only thing they could do was to keep walking.
As Anna who has a very high affinity for Sakura, and both Sakura and Anna are still quite young, the relationship between Anna and Sakura has long been more than just the relationship between Master and Servant. It’s more like “family”.
Maybe Sakura who was sleeping in the Holy Grail, subconsciously called out to Anna in this era.
But no matter what, Sakura is fine now, that’s all that matters.
“Anna, is it here?”
Wu Ming’s words pulled Anna back from her musings. Anna looked up and saw that she had come to the shop with all kinds of flowers.
“Well, it’s here.” Anna nodded.
Wu Ming crouched down and touched Anna’s head.
“I also know his condition. After the Burning of Human History is over, I will handle the matter well, but for now, the Holy Grail and him must be kept by you first.”
Then, Wu Ming stood up and turned around.
While Anna continued to be in a daze, an old woman who walked out of the flower shop trembled.
“Anna, you’re back?”
Hearing the old woman’s voice, Anna immediately hid the Holy Grail under the cloak.
“Yes, grandma, I’m back.”
“Has the plate for the butter cake been put back? Ouch~ Sure enough, the butter cake Anna brought was tastier than the one I made, and grandma enjoyed it too.”
The old woman seemed to be reminiscing, narrowed her eyes and opened her eyes slightly.
Anna knew that the old woman was too old to taste it, but at that moment the old woman was truly nostalgic, which meant she had tasted a butter cake that Anna had never seen before.
Apparently someone fiddled with the butter cake.
Merlin…
Anna thought to herself.
“Un, I put it back in the kitchen, grandma. I still think the butter cake you made is delicious, but next time I will bring you such a delicious butter cake.”
“No need Anna, I’m not used to eating such a good thing, you can keep it for yourself in the future. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Do not feel guilty.”
After all, even if this old lady can survive the end of the year, there is not much time left.
“If you like to eat butter cookies grandma made, grandma will make them for you every time you come.”
“No grandma, you need a lot of rest. I will continue to help you take care of the flowers.”
While Anna continued to chat with the old woman, she was busy in the old woman’s shop, and the old woman took out a bouquet of flowers when Anna was not paying attention.
Wu Ming did not continue to watch, but turned around, because he also guessed what happened next.
..
Not far from the Chaldea embassy, Merlin washed the dishes that Anna had returned earlier and put them away.
Then he stroked Fou’s head who had come to the side at some point.
“So it was Anna who gave you the cake before she took it, Cath Palug.”
