In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"Waaaaaahh ...

Boom!!

The deafening roar was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, almost startling passing vehicles into stopping on the spot, thinking something had suddenly exploded.

The vehicles from the Legal Affairs Department behind them had just seen Aozaki Touko's friendly gesture and hadn't even had time to react when the vehicles in front of them shot off like swords, creating a fierce gust of wind on the roadside like a howling tornado.

On the pitch-black vehicle, four different colored lights flickered steadily. This was to prevent accidents from happening, so Luo Wei directly applied the Angel's Blessing to the vehicle.

In the blink of an eye, a red light flashed across the night sky, followed by a jet-black afterimage that sped along the highway in the suburbs of London, moving with lightning speed like a bolt of lightning in the darkness.

The speed jumped directly from zero to 180 kilometers per hour, and it kept accelerating.

As they passed through a field, they reached a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.

When overtaking several unfamiliar vehicles, the speed soared to 220 kilometers per hour, so much so that the other vehicles didn't even realize what had just passed by.

The speed continued to increase afterward—

The raging wind kept pouring in through the car windows, but under Raphael's protection, the fierce gale eventually left only a refreshing breeze.

Having experienced such a thrilling scene for the first time, Grey had no time to be sentimental. Her attention was completely focused on the road ahead. Her small hands, gripping the steering wheel, were soaked with sweat. Even through the thick cloak, Rowe could feel the sweat seeping from her and her concentration. It was as if she dared not look away from the road ahead for even a moment.

Aozaki Touko, standing next to them, was also excitedly cheering them on; she was clearly enjoying the feeling too.

The black lightning bolt just kept running and running along the suburban highway...

They had gone far beyond the location of Crowley's house, many kilometers away, and it wasn't until half an hour later that they finally stopped.

half an hour.

We raced for a full half hour, gradually increasing our speed from zero to 240 kilometers per hour.

In that half hour, they broke the London traffic police's speeding records many times over!

The black lightning bolt had no end; it only stopped when it was completely exhilarated, gradually moving onto a smooth road.

As for those guys in the Department of Law and Politics?

It's long gone, probably buried in the dust at some intersection.

On an unknown road, the vehicle finally came to a slow stop.

After such an exciting thirty minutes, Grey raised her white fingers and breathed heavily, seemingly still shaken. Even through the thick layer of clothing, Rowe could feel that she was covered in sweat.

"Whoosh...whoosh..."

"How are you feeling? Are you in a better mood now?" Rowe rubbed Grey's soft little head in his arms and asked in a low voice.

“Too…too…” Grey murmured.

“What’s that? Speak louder…” Luo Wei said with a smile.

"This is so exciting...it feels amazing."

Grey gave a weak reply.

"Is that so? Do you like it?"

"like……"

"Grey, would you like to do another round? This time, let's go straight to my house—no, your future house."

"Really, really, is it okay?" Gray asked softly.

"of course."

Luo Wei still had a smile on his face, and Aozaki Touko, who had experienced such a thrilling ride in the back seat, also thought that this little girl seemed really interesting.

That's understandable, actually.

Children are naturally curious and eager to experience new pleasures.

Although Grey is obedient and sweet, her personality was largely formed in that repressive environment. While there's nothing wrong with being gentle, sometimes happiness is the most important thing.

After going around in circles, the initial fear of her new life and new world was left behind at some unknown intersection, and the distance between her and Luo Wei seemed to have shortened a bit.

Seeing this, Luo Wei also felt that his idea was very successful.

After all, as a teacher and Gray's future guardian, in addition to imparting knowledge and magic, he also had to answer questions and provide guidance.

Moreover, he was also very curious to see what kind of girl he had raised would grow up to be.

"Alright, Grey, now introduce yourself again. My name is Rowe Crowley. Next is your mentor and guardian. You can call me Master, or Brother Rowe, okay?"

Luo Wei wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Okay, okay, Master!"

Grey nodded.

"Great, very energetic! In that case, one more lap! Forget all your troubles! Grab the wheel, Gray!"

"Yes, yes!!"

"—Night Wolf Dies Nine, Golden Speed!!"

Boom!!

He floored the accelerator and roared away again.

Shortly after, on a highway in the suburbs of London, the forensic science team, who had just caught up, was diligently searching for traces of Aozaki Touko's vehicle along the route when—

Before he could even look to his left, a black lightning bolt flashed right past his eyes. The driver had no time to react, and by the time he stopped the car, the black lightning had already disappeared.

"...Team leader, Captain, that just now looked like the vehicle Aozaki Touko was riding in."

The teammate next to him cautiously reminded him.

"……I see."

"So, should we still pursue them?"

"Chase what? Are you going to chase after exhaust fumes?"

The man sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's call it a day. Anyway, the head of the Crowley family is back, and the rest is none of our business."

"clear!!"

……

The sky gradually turned yellowish-brown, until it became somewhat dark.

A black sports car, somewhat wrecked, was parked in front of the gate of a manor in the suburbs of London.

The old butler, who had been preparing to receive him for hours, almost didn't recognize the car he had arranged when he saw it in this state. However, upon seeing Luo Wei emerge from the vehicle, he still approached with utmost respect and greeted him.

"Young Master, you're back."

"Okay, I'm back. Go and arrange dinner first, and then make room for the guests."

Upon seeing the familiar butler, Luo Wei pointed to the sports car behind him and gave his instructions.

"Yes."

Upon hearing Luo Wei's instructions, the butler gave a meaningful look to the gray-haired girl who had just gotten out of Luo Wei's arms, then nodded very respectfully without asking any further questions.

However, just as he was about to leave, Luo Wei couldn't help but ask him, "Where did Reines and Sakura go? I haven't seen them anywhere. Are they already asleep at this hour?"

To this, the old butler replied, "No, young master."

“Miss Reines and your adopted daughter have gone to London with Miss Sora for a tea party, so they will be back a little late.”

"I see..."

"Should I contact them and call them back for you?"

"No need. It's fine for the two of them to go to London for a while. I'm relieved to have Mrs. Sora taking care of them. Let them have their fun and then come back on their own."

Lovi rejected the butler's suggestion and directly took Gray's hand to lead her to choose a room. As for Aozaki Touko, he told her to wait in his study first, and that any important matters could be discussed there.

Aozaki Touko naturally had no objection to this and went straight to the study to wait for Luo Wei.

Although it was called choosing a room, all the rooms in the Crowley mansion were extremely minimalist in style, with little decoration other than beds, tables, and other standard living furniture.

Even Kenneth, who had stayed at his house many times, criticized him for not paying attention to his appearance, but he was too lazy to make changes, or rather, he didn't want to put too much effort into this meaningless place, so he ignored it.

So it doesn't really matter which room Grey stays in.

Moreover, Grey didn't have much luggage, or rather, she had none. Apart from Ad in the birdcage, all she had left was her clothes, which were soaked with sweat.

Holding Ad in the birdcage, Grey stood at the door of her room, looking at this dwelling, which could be described as "luxurious" compared to her previous wooden house, and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Is this... where I'll be living from now on?"

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, you'll be living here for a long time to come, so it's fine to treat this place as your new home."

Luo Wei smiled and replied, "Besides me, only the two girls of the same age I told you about live here. The housekeeper and the others each have their own private apartments, so you can stay here without worry."

Excluding Rafe, who sleeps on the floor, and Aozaki Touko, who just arrived, this large villa had been uninhabited until recently, before Lovi returned. Therefore, most of the rooms inside had never been lived in.

"Anyway, let's go inside first. You must be exhausted after all this trouble, right?"

The two took a bus from Wales back to London early in the morning, and because the bus did not go directly into the city, they walked a long part of the journey.

Because of his enhancement magic, Lowe didn't feel too tired, but a girl like Grey couldn't. This stretch of road was indeed a considerable challenge for her. Although Lowe carried her for a long time along the way, relieving her physical fatigue, the mental exhaustion was not so easy to dispel. Not to mention writing a report for Kenneth at the Clock Tower and driving at high speed for about three hours, Grey was already feeling drowsy.

Since there were no suitable women's pajamas for children at home, and Sakura and Reines weren't around, Rowe naturally couldn't do the perverted act of taking things without asking. So he took out two of his own large clothes and draped them over Grey, so she could have a change of clothes to rest in.

"Um, Brother Luo Wei..."

Wearing, or rather draped in, the blue-green robe that Rowe used to wear, Grey curled up in bed with a somewhat restrained expression.

"What's wrong, Grey?"

As Luo Wei was about to leave, he turned back and gently patted her little head.

"Um, could you stay here with me for a while? I can't sleep..."

Grey was filled with anticipation, but also a little reserved.

After all, this was her first time leaving the village to live outside, so she naturally felt scared and uncomfortable. Now, the only person she could rely on was her new master, Luo Wei, this very magical older brother.

"Okay."

Upon hearing Grey's request, Lowe smiled and then sat down by her bedside.

"Since you can't sleep, would you like to hear your big brother tell you a story?"
