The journey was uneventful.
Following the route in his memory, Shiroya led the two girls to his residence.
The house was a gift from the system, with two floors, fully meeting their living needs.
The system also showed that the house came fully furnished, and even the refrigerator was stocked with food, saving him the trouble of having to go grocery shopping.
Sayuri looked at the beautiful two-story house in front of her, feeling a sense of amazement.
Since the outbreak of the Gastrea virus, human living conditions had become increasingly perilous, and living spaces had gradually decreased due to the invasion of the Gastrea.
At least in the Sakura District, those who owned their own independent residences were all high society elites.
'Who exactly is this handsome onii-san? How could he also own an independent house?'
She curiously looked up, but could only see Shiroya's calm and handsome face.
Shiroya seemed indifferent to everything in front of him, casually kicking open the front door.
"Don't be reserved, treat this place as your home..."
The door opened.
A mixed fragrance of petals greeted them, the scent of fresh flowers on the living room table.
Compared to their dark and damp basement, this place was like heaven, everything was so fresh and beautiful, even the furniture looked brand new.
'This onii-san is also such a clean person...' thought Sayuri as she touched her dirty clothes and blushed with embarrassment.
No girl doesn't love beauty. If it weren't for the harsh environment and their unfavorable circumstances, who would want to wear such tattered clothes and live in the dark and damp?
"From now on, this is our home," Shiroya declared lightly.
Fortunately, they hadn't encountered any troublemakers on the way, otherwise, it would have been a real hassle.
Saori quietly held onto his sleeve, standing behind him, and upon hearing his words, she was moved to tears.
'Home?'
Such a luxurious word. Since her mother threw her out of the house, she had lost the concept of home.
"Nee-San..." Sayuri looked at her crying sister, feeling a pang of heartache.
Noticing this, Shiroya gently placed Sayuri on the sofa, reached out, and patted Saori's little head, speaking with some emotion, "Don't cry. If you don't mind, you can consider me your big brother!"
He was also an orphan of war and could understand the feelings of the girls in front of him.
If it weren't for the harsh circumstances, he wouldn't want to be a cold mercenary, living each day with his life on the line.
"Alright... Now, let's address your injuries."
Shiroya then reached into his 'pocket' and took out two vials of medicine, which were the 'Active Potions' that he discreetly took from the Inventory.
[Active Potion: Stimulates cell activity, allowing the body to heal quickly. Essential for treating injuries!]
Since these were produced by the system, they must be of high quality and should help with the sisters' injuries.
He used a syringe to draw the 'medicine' and injected it into the veins of the two little girls. {T/N: Well this is a first 😂😂... I've never seen a potion applied like this 🙆🏾♂️}
In no time, Sayuri's injured leg started to react, the affected area began to heat up, and a reddish hue appeared, with dark blood oozing from the wound.
This was the process of cellular self-healing, with the toxins from the 'Varanium Bullet' being expelled by the body.
Seeing this, Shiroya searched around the room and returned with a large medical kit in his hand.
The house provided by the system was indeed considerate, with all necessary items neatly placed in specific locations, saving him any trouble.
"How do you feel?" Shiroya asked calmly.
"It itches..." Saori said.
"It hurts..." Sayuri's puppy eyes, like the most precious rubies, were fixed on him.
Although she was sure this unfamiliar Onii-San was helping her, the pain was real.
The pain made her clench her teeth, with beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.
Shiroya opened the kit, skillfully put on sterilized gloves, and laid out various surgical tools on the white cloth on the table.
He couldn't do anything about Saori's blindness; that would depend on the 'Active Potion's' effect. But he was quite experienced in treating Sayuri's gunshot wound.
"The upcoming surgery might be very painful. Do you need anesthesia?"
Shiroya smiled at the calm little girl in front of him.
Although anesthesia might limit the procedure a bit, it was better than having her scream in pain.
"No."
The girl's answer surprised Shiroya. He then quickly picked up the tools from the table, and a focused aura spread around him.
Extracting bullets, setting and repositioning bones...these were survival skills he was all too familiar with from his war-torn past... {T/N: I'm not familiar with medical etiquette, but...shouldn't extracting the bullet come first, before applying the Potion?}
"Let's begin..."
As soon as Shiroya finished speaking, a flash of silver from his knife accurately located the pitch-black bullet. {T/N: What am I missing here? This does not sound right at all...}
...
It was unclear how much time had passed.
Sayuri herself wasn't sure.
When she woke up again, she found herself resting on her sister's soft lap, with her sister occasionally stroking her silver hair, bringing a warm and comforting sensation.
"Huh?" Her leg seemed to be able to move!
She tried moving it and was pleasantly surprised to find that she had regained mobility!
The gunshot wound that had troubled her for so long had been healed by this mysterious Onii-San.
Even the wound had completely healed without leaving a scar. Who exactly was he?!
"Nee-Chan!" She excitedly shared her condition with Saori.
Saori's initial shock gradually turned into joy, and then deep gratitude towards Shiroya...
[Ding! This mission has been successfully completed!]
[Congratulations to the host for earning: 500 Destiny Points.]
[This mission's evaluation: Perfect!]
[Successfully triggered additional reward conditions. The additional reward is... a random skill drop.]
[Matching skill...]
[Match successful! Divine Skill Acquired!]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving an extra reward...]
< Skill: Unyielding Will >
-Unyielding Will (Upgradeable): Upon activation, strength attributes double, and the body is enveloped in a white light that makes the host immune to all damage for 10 seconds. Cooldown time is one day.
Shiroya, who was in the kitchen cooking, froze for a moment, then couldn't hide the joy on his face.
This was truly a divine skill!
In sudden situations, it could even allow him to survive a desperate situation, enduring a wave of fierce attacks. The only downside was the short duration.
With such an incredible life-saving ability, he would have to find a way to upgrade it further in the future...

{T/N: Starting from this chapter, I'll be using the appropriate Weeb jargon instead of the normy terms that are used in English Dubb... Yes, I'm pro-Subb🤷🏾♂️
i.e Instead of the kids calling Shiroya 'Big Brother', I'll be using 'Onii-San', 'Nii-San', 'Onii-Chan' or 'Onii-Sama', depending on the personality of the kid and the context.
Sayuri constantly addressing her sister as 'Big sister' is an abomination to all self respecting Weebs who are reading this, so I'll be using 'Nee-Chan', 'Onee-Chan', and 'Onee-San' depending on the mood.}
