Caelus looked at the white haired, blue eyed girl and thought it over, yet he still could not come up with a solution. He could, of course, purchase a memory restoring drug directly from the System, but that item cost thousands of System Currency. When he asked why it was so expensive, the System explained that it was essentially a type of amplification potion.
After consuming the potion, one would achieve clarity of mind, review one's past life, dispel delusions, and attain a state of enlightened awareness. Simply put, it allowed one to quickly review their past, resolve the shadows left in their heart, and make their future training and tribulation transcendence smoother and more successful.
As for a drug purely for treating amnesia, the System said it did exist, but it had previously cleared such items from its store as junk.
After all, with it around, even if its Host suffered from amnesia, the System only needed to roll back the database and read the information to help the Host remember everything.
However, higher level amnesia was always accompanied by some unknown influence and interference, so it required higher level drugs or the use of artifacts with special rules.
This meant that for items related to the mind, soul, and memory, the System only kept mid level ones. Low level ones were not stocked at all, as they were deemed unnecessary in the eyes of the System and not worth occupying space in its inventory.
The System replied, "[I do know this little girl's identity, including the memories she lost, but I will not reveal them. Your meeting is a matter of fate, the very beginning of the story, and these are part of my research project, so I will not actively interfere. Just as I did not interfere when you went to see Omacido and bestowed a blessing upon him, even though I knew what would happen afterward.]"
Caelus did not press for more information, nor did he spend the few thousand points he had left on the girl. Instead, he simply gazed at her calmly with his dull golden eyes, and the girl stared back into his eyes with her own.
After they had stared at each other for a long time, for some unknown reason the girl's lips suddenly twitched, and she could not help but burst into laughter.
"Looks like I won."
Caelus nodded calmly.
"No way. Are you really being that serious with a child? Can you not just let me win?"
"The game is fun, but losing is not."
Yes, for some inexplicable reason, the two had just started a "don't laugh" challenge.
As for Caelus, at first he was simply observing the girl. Later, after noticing that she kept staring at him intently, he thought for a moment and concluded that she was young and playing a game, so he naturally assumed it was a "don't laugh" challenge.
As for the girl, she simply thought the big brother in front of her was good looking, and his temperament gave her a unique feeling, as if he existed, yet also did not exist. It was very contradictory.
Out of innate curiosity, she stared at him for a long time. When she realized he was staring back, her still lively, albeit amnesiac, brain kicked into gear, deciding that this must be the legendary "don't laugh" challenge.
One could only say they were truly two remarkable individuals. Perhaps they could be called "god like" people.
"Fine, Big Brother. So, what are you going to do now? Are you going to take care of me, an amnesiac who might just hold you back, or are you going to dump me somewhere and be done with it?"
Even though she had lost her memories, the education she had once received seemed deeply engraved in her mind, allowing her to speak fluently and clearly assess her current situation.
"If it were the me from the beginning, I would have just left you behind. But I have already used some resources on you, and the morality and conscience deep within me also tell me not to do that."
After thinking for a while, Caelus said, "I will give you two choices. The first is for me to take care of you for a while, and then find a family or an orphanage willing to adopt you. The second choice is for me to take care of you until the end of this journey, and then, when we part ways, I will give you something that will allow you to continue walking your own path, even after we have separated."
"I do not want to live under someone else's roof. So, Big Brother, I choose the second option."
"Alright. My name is Caelus. That is the only name I have."
"Although I would like to introduce myself, I really cannot remember my name. Big Brother, would you like to give me one?"
Caelus was silent for a moment, then looked at the girl's white hair and said, "Bianka, how is this name? It is a name that symbolizes white in Italian."
"That sounds nice. Big Brother, you even know Italian?"
"Mm."

After a while, a fragrant smell suddenly wafted through the cave. Bianka looked at the steaming instant noodles in her hands with gleaming eyes. She used the plastic fork to spear some noodles and stuffed them into her mouth. After chewing for a while, her face was filled with happiness, as if she had never eaten anything so delicious before.
Caelus, meanwhile, was flipping through the book in his hands.
"100 Home Cooked Dishes Even a Fool Could Make"
Although the title was a bit strange, Caelus, who had never cooked for himself and did not even have a sense of taste, gained some insights into cooking after reading this book, proving that the title was not just bragging.
After all, he would be taking care of this child for a while. He could not just keep feeding her instant noodles or takeout. He did not know if they were nutritious or healthy. So, Caelus decided to learn a skill himself, hoping that if he regained his sense of taste in the future, he could use it to experience the deliciousness of food.
Just as they were each doing their own thing, Caelus suddenly stopped flipping through the book and looked toward the outside of the cave. Someone was coming.
Shortly after, several women dressed in peculiar tight fitting armor and carrying heavy high tech weapons walked into the cave.
When these women saw Bianka sitting by the campfire eating instant noodles, their eyes were filled with surprise.
Then one of the women pressed the earpiece she was wearing and said to the person on the other end, "Bishop, we have found her. As of now, her vital signs are stable, she is even eating instant noodles. Besides that, we have also discovered a male of unknown origin at the scene."
"Very well, thank you for your hard work. I will be there shortly. Let our little friend and that guest wait a moment."
Relying on his extraordinary life status, Caelus heard the conversation clearly. However, he did not make any moves. It seemed this girl's background was truly extraordinary, as someone had found her in such a short time. He just did not know if they were friend or foe.
Seeing that Caelus did not ask any questions and showed no signs of taking action, the three women also remained silent, merely blocking the entrance to ensure Caelus would not leave.
After Bianka finished her instant noodles, she curiously looked at the three older sisters who had walked in, then turned to Caelus, who had resumed reading his book, and asked, "Big Brother, what if they are here to capture me? They look like they are not to be trifled with."
"Do not worry, I can handle it."
Caelus's voice was not loud, and there was no fluctuation of emotion in it. It sounded as if he were calmly stating a fact.
This calmed Bianka's initially uneasy heart. Although she did not know why, with Caelus saying so, she felt as if he could truly do it.
Not long after, dense footsteps were heard from outside the cave. Then the three women blocking the entrance made way, and a blonde man wearing magnificent clothing walked in.
The blonde man's face was full of a gentle and elegant smile, radiating an aristocratic air. At first glance, he gave those who did not know him a feeling of gentleness.
"Oh. To be able to meet in this land of ice and snow, this must be a wonderful fate. I am the Bishop of Schicksal, Otto Apocalypse. It is a great honor to meet you here, sir. May I have the honor of knowing your name?"
"Caelus."
"Caelus, a wonderful name." The man who called himself Otto looked at the white haired girl again. Seeing that she was completely unharmed, even he was somewhat taken aback, but he quickly restrained his emotions and said with a smile, "I am a friend of this child's parents, and I have come this time to take her back."
For some reason, as Bianka looked at Otto smiling at her, she felt an inexplicable sense of rejection in her heart. This immediately gave her, who had lost her memory, a thought, perhaps this was not a friend of her parents, but an enemy.
Otherwise, how could these people have found her so quickly just after she had an accident? If they were really her relatives or friends of her parents, the first thing they should have done was care about her physical condition. After all, according to Big Brother, she had fallen from the sky, yet the other party had not even asked about it.
"Big Brother. Although I do not know that blonde man with the fake smile, my gut is telling me he is an enemy."
The atmosphere froze at this moment.
