Chapter 12: Trainers and Elves
"Ah, what a nostalgia...... I didn't expect to be away for so long......"
Leolu shook his head as he looked at the weedy bush.
"Let's go inside. He said to the fire dinosaur.
"Roar?" [Go in?]"
The fire dinosaur looked apparently confused, standing in place and waiting for Leolu's next reply.
"Well...... If it's troublesome, you just follow me!"
Speaking of which, there is a mysterious power that protects the cave, and it is generally impossible to detect its existence, and Leolu was just a chance at the time, and he also encountered Pikachu's egg there.
But Leolu thought about it, and the question remained: why was there an elf egg in the cave at that time, and why was there no trace of another elf?
There are so many suspicions that there is nowhere to start.
Leaving these momentary behind, Leo Lu groped towards the entrance of the cave according to the position in his memory, while the fire dinosaur followed Leo Lu while looking at the surrounding scenery without any abnormality, but he felt that his consciousness was not very clear, and he always wanted to go another way.
"Haha, it's here. ”
After pushing aside the last of the blue orange bushes, the hole that covered the leaves appeared in front of Leo Road and the fire dinosaur.
The leaves that had dried up could turn to powder at the touch of a button, but even so they were still doing their job, providing a small haven for such an undisturbed little world.
"This is my home, and this is where Izuki and I first met!"
Leolu pointed to the pile of dead grass and explained to the fire dinosaur.
Now that I say this, I really feel very nostalgic......
Leolu used his claws and tail to push the haystack away from the flames on the fire dinosaur's tail before entering the cavern.
"Roar~[This is the ...... Where the trainer and the master meet......"
The fire dinosaur muttered quietly, but its voice was loud in the quiet cavern.
Leolu heard it clearly, of course, but he didn't care.
This place is really a wonderful place for him.
It all started here and now it feels like it's coming back here...... It's really wonderful.
"It was the straw bed I lent to the lost Kazuki to sleep on, but it's completely dry now......"
Leo Lu smiled helplessly at the passage of time as he explained to the fire dinosaur how few things were left here.
On the way to the introduction, Leo Lu secretly observed the reaction of the fire dinosaur more than once.
The kid seemed to care a lot, too, and the fire dinosaur's claws and the corners of its mouth had more than one unnatural activity during the explanation - Leolu knew what that meant.
"Ichiki was so lucky to have met you......"
Unconsciously, he said something like this.
"Huh? [Hmm, Leolu, what are you talking about?, I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"
The fire dinosaur didn't come back to his senses from what he had just said, which caused it to not hear Leolu's words.
"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't say anything just now!"
It's a good thing it didn't hear clearly, otherwise Leolu really wouldn't know how to explain it.
After that, the two of them wandered around the cave for a long time, and Leolu figured that the time was almost up, and jumped off the platform where the egg was found.
"It's not too early, and if they find out that the two of us are gone, they will be in a hurry. ”
After saying that, Leo Lu took the lead and walked outside.
The fire dinosaur responded, turned his head to look at the two "grass beds" on the ground that were already in tatters, silently made a decision in his heart, and quickly followed Leo Road, who had already walked out.
Under the influence of Leolu, the elves of this forest have become almost human-like schedules, so now that the sun has completely revealed the horizon, the originally quiet forest has begun to live.
Leolu liked the atmosphere, but he couldn't show up yet, or he might not be able to leave.
After a long sneak, he and the fire dinosaur finally made their way out of the forest.
"Whew~ I didn't expect it to be so exciting when I came back. Leolu smiled and wiped away the sweat that had come out of his mouth, holding his claws on his knees and gasping for air.
“…… I'm sorry, but if it weren't for the flame on my tail, you might have gone more smoothly, master......"
The fire dinosaur looked back aggrievedly at the flames that kept beating at the end of his tail, and apologized to Leo Lu very sincerely.
This is indeed the case, because on a few occasions I almost attracted the light-loving elves because of the bright light emitted by the fire dinosaurs in the grass, and I almost exposed them.
"It's not your fault, it's that I didn't think of this in advance, so don't blame yourself," Saying that, Leolu suddenly realized what the fire dinosaur was called, "You...... What did you just call me?"
The fire dinosaur was stunned: "Master...... Master, that's what human beings call those who have taught them......"
Leo Lu couldn't help but laugh after listening to its explanation: "It's not wrong for you to say that, but it still feels too awkward, you just call me Leolu, don't be so restrained!"
This guy probably learned it on a certain TV, and I don't know what it thinks. However, I should be regarded as its master.
"Speaking of which, you are also my first apprentice," Leo Lu walked over and was about to pat it on the head, but the height difference was a little embarrassing, so it turned into a pat on the shoulder: "But the two of us are not in harmony after all, you are a fire type, and I am a fighting department, there are only a limited number of things I can give you, you can only have infinite possibilities by Yihui's side, understand......? It shouldn't be me. ”
It was nice to be called that by other people or elves, but Leolu didn't get carried away because of it.
If you don't want to ruin the future of the fire dinosaur, it can only learn from Kazuki, not Leolu.
"Hmm...... Division...... Leo Road. ”
The fire dinosaur didn't know if it understood, so it nodded, but looking at its eyes, Leolu assumed that it understood.
After a short rest, they returned to Ikki's home.
It just so happened that the family of three had just gotten up, and they didn't notice that Leo Lu and the fire dinosaur had already run far away and walked around.
"Ha~~~, good morning Leo Road, fire dinosaur, it's so early today. ”
As soon as they returned to the house from the backyard, Leo Road and the fire dinosaur collided with Yihui, who had just come out of the house and yawned.
"Aren't you too, I've never seen you get up so early before, let me see, is the sun coming out in the west?"
Leo Lu pretended to go back to the courtyard to see the sun with a puzzled face, but was quickly hugged from behind by Kazuki with a blushing face.
"As long as I'm rested, I can wake up early...... But Leolu you dare to say that about me, it looks like you're going to be punished a little!"
Kazuki smirked evilly, and took out the feather that had once been Leolu's nightmare out of nowhere, and shook it in front of Leolu's eyes.
"What?!I thought you had lost it. ”
"Hmph, how could I just lose this kind of useful prop, are you ready? I'm going to start~"
Seeing that the master and the trainer could have such a good relationship, the fire dinosaur on the side finally smiled, and regardless of Leo Lu and Kazuki, who were shouting for help, began to walk towards the restaurant.
"Hahahaha, no, stop quickly, stop!!!, stop!
