"Who are you? Why did you come to my house?!"

In the room where Leo Luffy came out, a woman's voice roared.

Of course, Kazuki and the fire dinosaur immediately rushed to Leolu, who was sitting on the ground.

"Hey, I'm asking you!"

The woman seemed to have caught Selia and didn't notice the presence of Kazuki and the fire dinosaur.

Kazuki hesitated for a moment, but still prioritized checking Leolu's injuries.

The impact was already terrifying just to look at, and with the cracks in the walls, Ikki couldn't imagine Leo Lu not being hurt.

"Ikki...... Leave me alone, hurry up and get in!"

However, Leolu suddenly grabbed Ikki's hands and forced him to turn to face the wooden door that had just been opened.

"But you ......"

"Leave me alone, hurry up and get in!"

I don't know if it's Ikki's own delusion, Leolu didn't seem to be flustered because Selia was coerced, and he didn't care if Ikki was safe after entering, so he smiled at him.

"There's no way I'm going to get hurt like this, okay, let's get in quickly!"

The voices inside the door grew more and more intense, but Celia was not heard. I don't know if I refused to speak as usual in this case, or if I was frightened and temporarily lost my voice.

“…… All right. ”

Ikki fully trusts Leolu, and since he judges that there will be no problem, let's give it a try.

So he stood up and nodded to the fire dinosaur beside him.

"Don't worry, I just need to rest, after all, this attack ...... It really hurts. ”

Leolu barely managed to squeeze out a smile, then stood up trembling on his waist.

“…… Are you really okay?"

"It's okay, you should go in quickly, or Selia won't be able to get out. ”

So Ikki had no choice but to walk into the house.

Leo Lu also tried to take a few steps after Ikki entered, but he couldn't hold on and sat down all at once.

"Hiss~...... It's not good to hit it, but it hit the waist...... Now it's in trouble. ”

When Kazuki walked into the house, the first thing he saw was several deformed corrugated cardboard boxes that had been hit, and there was also a scratch on the ground, and it looked like Leo Road flew out from here.

Kazuki couldn't help but look worriedly at the fire dinosaur beside him, who was also uneasy.

At this time, on the periphery of the cardboard box, an elf suddenly jumped out and glared at the two of them with a fierce face.

The elf had brown body hair, rabbit-like ears that stood straight on top of its round head, and its hands and feet were not long, but it had a thick tail with a dark brown circular pattern.

"It's ......"

Kazuki ducked behind the fire dinosaur and took out the illustrated book from his backpack and aimed it at the elf standing in front of him.

[Tail stand, sentry elf. General Department. The personality is very neurotic. In order to be able to look into the distance, stand up with your tail. 】

However, it is hard to imagine that such an unaggressive elf can directly repel Leolu. Kazuki whispered to the fire dinosaur, "Be careful. ”

But in this tense situation, there was a sound of footsteps around the corner of the room, and it seemed that the woman had just arrived.

"Alright, be honest with me!"

"Om ......"

The voice was obviously that of the coerced Selia, but the woman's voice seemed familiar.

"Don't move, I'll take you to meet your accomplices right away!"

It seems that the other party also doesn't want to get into trouble, so he takes Selia, who has no combat effectiveness at all, as a hostage.

But the dramatic side appeared, and when they met, both parties immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman let go of Selia and told Otchi to return to her by the way.

"Really, you're scaring me to death......"

“…… We are no different. ”

Kazuki examined Selia's body and found no obvious injuries, so he slowly walked over to the woman.

"It's been a long time, Sister Erin, thank you little fire horse!"

——————————————————————

Inside the hall of the wooden house.

"Oulu~!Oulu!!"

Leo Lu lies on Erin's lap, enduring the "violent" treatment of Erin, who has no medical knowledge at all, and Otari is constantly trying to get closer to Leolu, looking like he wants to say sorry to Leolu.

"Okay, it's not that you broke in suddenly, otherwise I wouldn't treat you as thieves, it's good to find something to treat you, can't you bear this pain?" ”

Ikki felt miserable just by looking at Leolu, but he couldn't convince Erin that he could only choose to ignore Leolu's pleas.

"Sister Erin, aren't you in charge of a big milk tank farm in the Kanto region? Why are you in Johto now...... Still in such a remote place. ”

As soon as Yihui mentioned this, Erin immediately became interested, and she couldn't help but feel that the strength in her hand was also a little stronger, and Leolu, who was in pain, wailed again.

As soon as Erin heard this, her expression suddenly became helpless: "It's not my busy parents, you have to ask me to come over to help or something, otherwise I wouldn't be too lazy to take a car to the city so far, and still live in such a place......"

"Uh...... That's really a blessing......"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about those things. Eh, by the way, did that kid of the little fire horse help you? I always feel like I haven't seen you for a long time, and there must have been some changes since I handed it over to the trainer, right?"

Kazuki scratched his head: "Compared to this...... I think it's better for you to actually take a look at it......"

After dealing with Leolu's injuries, Erin and Izuki went outside the house.

"Let's talk about it first, don't be shocked if you see it. Ikki held the Poké Ball, still hesitating to show it to Erin.

"It's okay, I haven't seen anything, you just let it out!" Erin raised her hand and hammered her chest, looking very confident.

"Then there is no way......"

The red light flashed, and the little fire horse appeared on the grass excitedly, his head constantly turning, as if he was looking for something.

Kazuki subconsciously raised his hand in front of him to prevent the little fire horse from being too affectionate. It's just that he soon realizes how redundant his actions are.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to grow so big, it seems that letting you go out to exercise is really the right behavior...... Oops, don't lick it anymore, it's so itchy, hahaha......"

Kazuki looked at the joyful scene of Erin and the little fire horse reuniting, and he should have been happy for them, but his heart was sour......

"I'm sorry, but I really didn't know that the elf was yours at the time, that's why the boy only attacked......"

Anyway, they were acquaintances, and because she hurt Leolu, Erin asked Ikki and Selia to stay here today, and then provide them with the direction of the nearest town to this tomorrow.

"It's all right, you see, isn't Leolu already recovering?"

Kazuki lifted Leolu, who was resting on the couch, and handed it to Erin.

Leolu didn't like this very much, but Erin's behavior of handing over the little fire horse to Ikki at that time did help a lot, and the battle at the conference was also very hard, so Leolu also opened his mouth and barked casually twice.

“…… But I still feel guilty. Erin said aggrievedly.

Ikki doesn't want to find out who is right and who is wrong, because that kind of thing doesn't make sense.

"Anyway, Sister Erin, your Otari seems to be very powerful, and you can actually hurt Leolu......"

Kazuki looked at Leolu, who had just been put back to sleep on the couch, thinking that he might be interested too......

But this time, Leolu didn't react at all, and still slept with his eyes closed.

"Ahh......h In the past, my parents sent me to be my bodyguard, but something interesting happened and I became friends with him. Speaking of this, Erin suddenly came over mysteriously, looked left and right and found that there was no trace of Otari before whispering: "Actually, that guy Otari had a very strange temper when he first saw me...... No, it's very, very, very bad!"

Yihui was shocked: "No, it looks like the relationship between the two of you is very good, what happened to make your relationship better?"

Suddenly, Erin stretched out her index finger and gently pressed it on Ikki's lips: "Hehe, this is a secret~"

"But then again, where is Ozate now? The patrol should have been done a long time ago. ”

Erin returned to her place, stretching lazily.

"Let's go look for it, there's nothing to do all the time sitting anyway. Kazuki suggested.

Erin thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, I'm very bothered if one of the mother's Otari tricks her away...... Ha, just kidding. ”

Yihui touched Leolu's head: "Are you going?"

Leolu didn't answer, just swept his tail twice over Ikki and went back to sleep.

"Really, when did you become so lazy......"

But there's nothing inconvenient, and Ikki thinks it's a casual walk at night.

Hearing the sound of the wooden door closing softly, Leo got up from the couch, glanced meaningfully in the direction the two of them had left, and walked towards Celia's room, where he had rested early.

"It's the first time I've faced this situation...... What would you do...... Ikki. ”

The starry sky on the prairie is beautiful, accompanied by a gentle wind that can only be found in the prairie, and the moon is bright enough to provide minimal illumination.

Ikki and Erin walked slowly around the cabin, slowly, but gently.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

Erin raised her head, looked at the bright starry sky in the sky, and asked softly.

“…… Well, there's a very calm feeling. ”

Erin sneered, "Of course it's calm, no one will pass by here at all......" When she had laughed enough, she became serious, "I was here when I was very young, but soon I moved to Kanto, and I haven't been to this cabin for many years." ”

Kazuki looked at Erin, who was caught up in a memory, and still felt that it was better not to interrupt her.

"Well, if only I had chosen to be a trainer at that time. Always traveling and meeting all kinds of interesting people...... It's a joy to think about. But unfortunately, I still chose to do what my parents had arranged......"

"Then do you feel unwilling?"

"Unwillingly? I guess it's going to be a little bit...... But once you get used to a certain kind of life, you will feel that everything around you is inseparable. So even if you are unwilling, you are still happy. ”

Erin's footsteps stopped abruptly, smiling at the orange-red glow coming from the corner of the room.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with this kind of life, although sometimes it's really annoying, but with such a group of such great companions, I have nothing to complain about~"

In the corner of the room, there is a small fire horse that Ikki released earlier. He didn't take it back because Little Fire Horse and Erin were reunited after a long absence...... However, Erin's Otari is also here.

"Alright, let's take a closer look. ”

Erin grabbed Kazuki's hand and smiled as she pulled him against the room towards the light.

Kazuki looked at Erin and somehow lowered his head. Erin, who was so happy, really couldn't make him happy.

Just at this moment, Ikki's pocket shook, and a bright red light suddenly shot out from inside, and an elf appeared on the grass.

"Suo...... Zoroa, what are you doing now?"

Kazuki didn't know how to explain it to Erin, but it didn't seem that the commotion here had affected the two elves who were talking and laughing.

But Zoroa ignored Kazuki's words, just glanced at the two elves, and turned away as if he had seen something disgusting.

Erin didn't know, but Kazuki was dumbfounded.

When did Zoroa ever look like that...... And he actually ignored him directly...... At this moment, Ikki didn't understand what Zoroa's actions represented.

In Selia's house, Zoroa was directly punched by Leolu. However, Leolu didn't make much effort.

"Really, I know what you're trying to express, but you're a bit too much!"

"Suo~【Hmm...... I see, Leolu is so terrible to get angry~~~]"

“…… I just don't want you to say that!"

However, Zoroa did impress Leolu a little, and he thought that he was still a child, so let him go.

Leo Lu turned his head to look at the flickering galaxy outside the window, and sighed helplessly.

"Tomorrow......"
