I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

.....So you rabbit just discovered the problem now?

"This is obviously the North District...ah woo~!" Black Rabbit, who was struck on the forehead by Cheng Rang's other hand, let out a sweet cry, and then Cheng Rang's suppressed unhappy voice came in through his ears. .

"I won't pay for travel expenses... I won't bring any money... Even if you were so angry that you wouldn't leave me alone in the station, right!? What do you want Leticia and Lily to do?"

Cheng Rang, who was preaching about Black Rabbit, kept hitting her little head with a wronged expression, causing her to make a series of painful sounds.

"If I hadn't told you before I left, they would still be wandering around the station. As a manager, isn't it common sense within your responsibilities to arrange everything before going on a long trip? You only care about chasing people and patting them. What will the other children do now that Butt is gone?”

"Yes, I'm sorry, ah woo! I'm sorry~ woo woo..."

After Black Rabbit left, Cheng Rang climbed out of the window and chased him for a while, but then he thought that if everyone went out to chase the problem children, there would be no one to take care of the children in the guild, let alone Black Rabbit on this long trip. The nobles of the Little Garden can open the realm gate for free, but others cannot.

So, Cheng Rang, who was returning halfway, stopped Leticia who was about to go to the Thousand Eyes branch, accepted the errand task for her which might have been a bit late, and asked her to go back to the guild treasury with Lily to get the money.

What to do with the money? First, if Leticia wants to catch up, she can use part of the money as travel expenses and bring some pocket money to Cheng Rang. As the only one who can open the vault after Black Rabbit and Ren leave, Lily is the second person in charge of NoName's finances at this time. handle.

Second... let Lily, who has received the money, take good care of the children, eat and drink well, and stop living a tight life until the group returns from the Fire Dragon Birth Festival. It also made the other two leaders and managers, one kidnapped and the other madly chasing after him, feel relieved.

And it was precisely because he had to deal with these things that when Cheng Rang arrived at the Qianyan branch when he started again later, the problem children had already taken a step ahead...

Cheng Rang, who was pouring out his complaints about this, calmed down a little at this time, and comforted Heitu, who was holding his head in front of him and was about to cry: "Forget it, there is no point in pursuing these things anyway, you have done some reflection. That’s good, I won’t be able to find those naughty kids running around even if it’s dark like this, it will be faster if someone can help, right?”

Cheng Rang, who was thinking that almost everyone should have arrived at this time, raised his head and looked

In the sky - under the fiery red sky of the North District, a blond figure with wings on its back was flying towards this side.

Under the happy gaze of Black Rabbit, whose eyes were shining, Leticia flapped her wings from the sky and slowly landed in front of everyone.

"Master Cheng Rang, everything has been arranged."

"Welcome to join in the fun, Leticia." Cheng Rang took the small money bag from Leticia and shook it. There were about a dozen silver coins in it and they were rattling crisply.

"This is?"

"Don't think about my pocket money." Cheng Rang answered Hei Tu's question and put it in his arms while she stared at the purse tightly.

"Eh?! But this is..."

"Even if it's guild property, it's what I earned. Just treat it as the hard work of helping you find problems this time!"

After interrupting the black rabbit with his hand, Cheng Rang raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly:

"Now let me teach you, as a bounty hunter with a 100% mission completion rate, how to accurately find the mission target in the busy city~"

Chapter 82: Have you ever seen a walkie-talkie?

The center of the corridor paved with red bricks is surrounded by exquisite carved glass. In the center is a monument carved in the shape of a dragon. Asuka and Izayoi are sitting and standing here to rest.

Several hours had passed since the two of them wandered away from the black rabbit, but Asuka's eyes were not tired. She sat down and looked around, just wanting to relax a little and take a good look at the town.

Led by the pointed-eared elves, there were many other races mixed in with the lively and laughing crowd around. Asuka seemed to never get tired of the sight of multiple races coexisting harmoniously in such a huge city, and Izayoi's His attention was completely different from that of the eldest lady. He was walking around the monument, muttering something from time to time.

"Oh... this is the first time I have seen such a huge obsidian-like crystal. Is it possible that there will be meteorites falling in the small garden?"

"Isn't this thing made of glass?" Asuka asked as he looked up at the statue behind him.

"Obsidian is a kind of natural glass, a rare mineral synthesized from the energy and heat generated when meteorites impact."

"Meteorites...Is that why you care about this thing?"

Izayoi stopped and said, "I have my doubts about this too. The color looks similar to the Moldavite meteorite... huh? It says here -"

On the billboard in front of the Green Monument, the words "Exhibition Community: Salamandra" are clearly engraved.

Title: The first generation leader "Star Sea Dragon King" carved from a large spiritual crystal that resembles obsidian - Maker: Sarah.

After reading the words, Izayoi held his chin and was silent for a while, and then looked at the dragon-shaped monument in front of him again with some doubts about his eyes.

"This thing...meaning "spiritually made", could it be that it is not a natural product but an artificial one? Although the maker does not seem to be a human being...Humph~"

Staring at the producer's name, the corners of Izayoi's mouth suddenly rose, and he smiled meaningfully.

Asuka said: "I've always wanted to ask...Why are you so knowledgeable, Izayoi-san?"

"That's not the case." Izayoi denied, "It's more like miscellaneous knowledge than erudition, reading everything but not very proficient in anything.

"Oh! It's the walking candlestick, let me go take a look!"

Discovering the wonderful thing that he had missed before, Izayoi stepped forward to catch up with his eyes shining, completely leaving the flying bird beside him.

Asuka quickly stood up and followed.

The walking candlestick seems to be also on display this time, with a billboard with the name of the "Will o'wisp" community hanging on it.

In this regard, Asuka couldn't help but mention the festival called Halloween in his memory. Such monsters seemed to be everywhere in the story.

"Have you ever heard of Izayoi-san?"

Izayoi opened his eyes in surprise when Asuka asked, and then smiled bitterly: "Halloween? Our place has become an annual happy festival, and it only exists in the legend... It seems Miss, there is really a big generation gap between you and me."

"Really... In Izayoi-san's era, isn't Halloween nothing unusual anymore?"

"Of course, miss, do you like festivals like this?"

Asuka seemed to have thought of something sweet, and smiled and said: "It can't be said that I like it. It's just that when I heard about this festival when I was a child, I thought it was a very beautiful event."

She narrowed her eyes, as if she was lost in memories, and the smile on her lips gradually stiffened.

"The place I lived in before was really boring. Although the identity of the eldest lady of the consortium sounds great, the most important parents are no longer there. In addition, because of the power I was born with to control people's hearts, I was once isolated. Form was locked into a strict dormitory school.”

"That was really painful, but with your style, shouldn't you run away as soon as possible?"

Feiniao nodded: "Yes, if I hadn't received the invitation letter, I planned to take advantage of the opportunity to return to my hometown to escape. The destination is probably... By the way, to celebrate the war

Now that the fight is over, I might have gone to experience the Halloween I just mentioned, haha~"

The girl stood in the center of the corridor with a moving smile, but Izayoi felt deep sadness in her tone and eyes.

Underneath the boring surface of life, there should be hidden her strong yearning for the outside world and culture, right? Izayoi thought so.

"Trick or treat~" Asuka seemed to notice the slightly depressed air. She raised her finger and pointed at her cheek, cutely saying: "Don't you think this slogan is great? I also want to dress up as a ghost and run away. Go out and ask for candies from the adults with wry smiles on their faces!"

"And wearing a giant pumpkin on your head?"

"That's right! Oh, but it's not bad for me to dress up as a witch now, right? Don't you think it's very appropriate!" Asuka lifted up the hem of her skirt and turned it around slightly. Now she is calmer than before, this move makes her look... More like what a fifteen or sixteen year old girl should look like.

"I...it's really great to be able to come to Hakoba. After all, I have come to such a wonderful place. Although I can't experience the legendary Halloween, but compared to the boring life of being raised in my hometown and waiting for death every day, staying Being here makes me look forward to more tomorrow!”

"Really? That would be great."

Izayoi quietly stared at the girl who was jumping around in the middle of the corridor, and responded with his usual naughty and unpunchable expression.

Behind the roof on the side, Cheng Rang retracted his head, a smile appeared on his lips. After quietly listening to Miss Asuka's previously unknown story, he had some good ideas in his heart.

"The person has been found. In the center of the glazed corridor, in front of the monument to the first leader on display in Salamanda..." Cheng Rang pressed the communicator next to his ear to announce, "Both of them are here."

On the other side, the black rabbit who put the communicator headset that should be hung on the human auricle into the raised rabbit's ears heard the sound coming from it and sighed in surprise: "Oh~! I didn't expect Cheng Rang And there is such a convenient gift, what is it? Magic? Spiritual communication? Or a divine creation?!"

"This is just a walkie-talkie...Okay! There is no place to charge this thing here for the time being. If you know the location, come here quickly!"

"Charge?"

The thing Cheng Rang called the "walkie-talkie" in his hand was a creation from the high-tech era of Helsalem Zlot's super magic. It seemed to make Black Rabbit very curious. Such a small and convenient thing could actually travel several kilometers. Achieving delay-free conversations over complex terrain distances is infinitely more convenient than using magic to send letters!

"...If we don't come back, they will leave."

"Okay, okay....let's go there!"

"Also Black Rabbit." Cheng Rang's voice came from the earphones again.

"Huh? Please speak~"

"Have you ever considered that our own community can become the organizer and create a festival to celebrate the festival?"

"Like Halloween."

".....Eh?"

Chapter 83 The Oasis I Want to Chase

Black Rabbit wondered why Cheng Rang suddenly mentioned such a thing, but Cheng Rang, who had unilaterally cut off communication, had already heard a blind voice from his side.

After putting away the communicator, Black Rabbit focused on the problem children who had been bothering him all morning. He waved to Leticia and the two of them jumped and flew quickly through the complex buildings, heading towards Cheng Let's go straight to the reported location.

As for the escape team, it seemed that they had relaxed a little after they had been wandering around comfortably for several hours without seeing the shadow of Black Rabbit chasing after them. Although Izayoi and Asuka realized that it was not appropriate to stay in one place all the time, they chose to move. They were still wandering among the crowd with the same attitude of strolling and having fun.

As everyone knows, the location of the two has long been grasped by Cheng Rang, who is secretly following them behind them, and has been guiding the location of the black rabbit who is chasing them through information exchange every three minutes.

Facts have proved that with the ability to exchange real-time information, when the number of pursuers is doubled, the target search efficiency in dense crowds within a few kilometers can be doubled several times. It can be called a textbook practice of technology defeating magic. case.

At this time, the pursuit net was rapidly shrinking without Izayoi and Asuka being aware of it. Cheng Rang, Black Rabbit and Leticia, who were outflanked from three directions, were approaching the last few hundred meters. Time also fell from the roof and the sky to the ground.

There are many stained glass windows placed beside the bustling streets, which seem to depict stories of mythical and legendary characters. The shouts of street vendors along with the aroma of special food constantly penetrate into the noses of flying birds.

His stomach rumbled, and Asuka sighed: "I ran out before I had time to eat in the morning. As a result, we are penniless and it's already the afternoon and we still can't fill our stomachs..."

"The festival is about to begin. There should be many small gift games where you can win money and items. Do you want to check it out?" Although Izayoi is not very hungry now, it is obvious that the two of them have already entered the stage of having a meal. Countless luxurious and delicious snack streets...

"Are you hungry, everyone? Come to Black Rabbit and there will be pocket money for you~"

"Hey, is there such a good thing?"

"I want to eat that!"

"YES! Of course, you can pay now, so you two, now

Are you going to be captured honestly without any help? "

Black Rabbit appeared behind him with an astonishing smile, and the two immediately replied: "No!"

At this moment, Izayoi started sprinting with enough leg power to create a crater on the street. Although Asuka reacted quickly and fled in the opposite direction, her maneuverability was obviously inferior to Izayoi's and she was stopped by Leticia who fell from the sky.

"ah!"

The blond vampire Leticia in a maid outfit pounced on Asuka. She folded her black wings and said with a smile: "Hehe, give up on your thoughts of running away from me, Miss Asuka~"

Asuka, who was tightly hugged by Leticia around the waist, raised his hands helplessly and declared surrender, shouting to Izayoi who had gone away: "Izayoi-san, you are the last one! If you are caught too easily, I will never forgive you!"

"Hahahaha, keep it on me, young lady!"

Izayoi responded to Asuka's call with his back, pushed through the crowd, jumped onto the roof next to the road and ran quickly.

However, the black rabbit will definitely not let go of the "prey" that is right in front of him.

"Where are you going to run away! I really can't bear it today! After I catch you, I will ask you to listen to my wonderful sermon thoroughly and carefully!"

boom!

A large amount of dust flew up from the ground as the black rabbit burst out of the air, and she turned into a crimson afterimage and shot towards Izayoi who was escaping.

"Ha! It's really a good suggestion, but if you want me to surrender, just use your strength to speak!"

Izayoi looked back and caught a glimpse of Black Rabbit approaching quickly, and immediately sped up. He no longer ran away in a straight line, but used the buildings to jump back and forth to the top of the spire group. The black rabbit refused to admit defeat and ran straight up the wall, struggling to catch up.

The commotion caused by the end of the chase finally spread to the entire nearby neighborhood. A large number of passers-by could look up and see the two figures chasing each other. Many of them even pointed at the black rabbit and shouted: "Quickly!" Look, Moon Rabbit is fighting someone?!"

Before he finished speaking, Izayoi, who was about to climb to the top of the tower, suddenly stopped and made an arch bridge on the vertical wall, narrowly avoiding the oncoming swing of the scabbard. beat.

Taking advantage of the situation, he turned two somersaults backwards and regained his footing. Izayoi grinned and looked at the figure standing on the top of the tower with a long knife in his arms, and said: "Hey, I knew you still couldn't bear the loneliness. Follow me!"

Cheng Rang smiled and said: "Be careful when joking about running away from home, otherwise you will be spanked if caught."

Izayoi: "Hey~ You know it's a joke, but you still have to mobilize people like this? Black Rabbit looks very angry."

Black Rabbit caught up in the blink of an eye, and Cheng Rang and Cheng Rang formed a pincer attack and surrounded Izayoi. Her red eyes were glaring hard at Izayoi: "Oh, if you guys want to make a joke, you can just Is withdrawing from the community used as a bet to win or lose? It’s really a joke that makes people laugh.”

Cheng Rang also responded: "Indeed, if you are too tolerant of members who casually talk about 'quitting the organization', then the cohesion of a group will be uncertain. No matter how close the relationship is, , you should also pay attention to some etiquette. As far as you are concerned this time, the situation is considered bad. "

"You are already so powerful that you don't need to rely on anyone, but you seem to attach great importance to your companions unexpectedly?" Izayoi spread his hands helplessly, with a sincere smile finally in his eyes.

Cheng Rang, who was hugging the long sword, stared at Izayoi's eyes as he looked into his own. He was silent for a while, and then he said in a haphazard manner: "If you have been walking for a long time in the endless desert where you can see everything around you, , so even if you encounter a mirage of hypocrisy, you will try your best to chase it, right?"

"That oasis, even if I know it is false, will disappear... I want to hold on to it."

Because even if that false oasis disappears, the memory of chasing it still exists in my mind.

Izayoi raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth and said, "Ha, I don't understand what you are talking about at all! Does this mean that our existence is false and will disappear? Are you kidding!"

Cheng Rang changed his heavy expression and said with a relaxed smile: "Look, you can't laugh at such a joke, right?"
