The grassland was endless, and occasionally one or two low trees could be seen, except for the bird elves flying in the sky, and Kazuki and Leo Lu didn't even see a single green caterpillar.

"It always feels like a desert no-man'......man's land"

Leo Lu jumped on Ikki's shoulders again, grumbling boredly.

"But it's not as hot as the desert...... But it's a problem to go on like this......"

I knew that I would have borrowed a bicycle from Damu......

However, because Ikki's physical strength is not very impressive, they also stop and go, but it is really regarded as a sightseeing tour.

Food and water were also adequate...... It's not so much that it's sufficient, but it's a bit much, and I don't have much to worry about for now.

Kleo Lu is bored, but as long as Ikki doesn't find a clear direction to target, then this kind of trip will continue forever.

“…… There's nothing to pass the time......"

"Okay, okay, even if you say that, I can't help it...... Leolu don't be like a child!"

Leolu snapped his eyes open and twitched twice as he looked at Ikki.

I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by him......

Kazuki smiled and gently touched Leolu's head.

"The only time we can relax is now, and when we get to the town and start challenging the gym, there really won't be any time left!"

Leo Lu brushed away Yihui's hand, his eyes helplessly moved to Celia on the side, and muttered to himself, "If you want to become stronger, there is no way to do it......"

"yes, so I'm going to work hard, how can I lose to Leolu!"

Cut, this little imp......

Leo Lu raised the corners of his mouth: "It's not small, it's obviously just a child." ”

Yihui turned around unhappily and said, "What a child, it turns out that you still treat me as a child who doesn't understand anything!"

Celia really didn't bother to pay attention to their nonsense, didn't even look at them, and just walked silently and expressionlessly.

Suddenly, Celia stretched out her little hand and pulled Yihui's coat, and the one person and one elf in the fight also stopped.

"What's wrong, Selia?"

The girl didn't answer, just stuck out her finger and pointed ahead.

Leo Lu and Kazuki also looked in the direction she was pointing.

Above the endless meadow, a house made of wood suddenly appeared.

"Is there a place like this to be inhabited?"

Leo Lu frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

"But...... Suspicion alone won't solve the problem, right? Strange or not, let's go over and take a look. Kazuki reassured.

Leolu thought about it, and yes, this might be the only time he could get help for help, and it would be unwise to avoid it. What's more, it's Leo Lu himself who has been clamoring to leave this kind of place.

"Alright then, let's go over and have a look. ”

Leo Lu had to jump off Ikki's shoulder, but when Ikki was about to move forward, he grabbed Ikki's cuffs again.

"You call the fire dinosaur out, and if something goes wrong, you can take care of it. ”

So the red light flashed, and Ichiki released the fire dinosaur out of the Poké Ball.

Although the fire dinosaur has been staying in the Poké Ball, it has also heard the conversation between Ikki and Leolu clearly, and naturally understands the task given to it by Leolu.

However, he still asked Leolu a little strangely: "Roar [Isn't it up to Leolu to protect them?...... why did you call me?"

"Oulu![Fool, I only protect them for a while, and you are the one who can follow them all the time, so from now on, you and your companions will be responsible for the safety of Ikki, you know?"

The fire dinosaur was stunned for a moment, and a lonely look appeared in his eyes: "Roar...... Roar?【Leolu, are you leaving?]"

Leo Lu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed his words: "Ou Lu...... [I mean, I just went out on a trip with you, but it was you who could accompany Yihui to go further, not me. 】”

"Roar!] [Isn't it okay for Leolu to become a spirit of Ikki?] The fire dinosaur rushed over without waiting for Leolu to finish speaking, and two pairs of sharp claws pressed on Leolu's shoulders at once, looking very happy.

Leolu looked at the fire dinosaur and only sighed.

Truth be told, Leolu didn't think about it. Ikki does have good enough potential, although there are many shortcomings, but that is not a problem. But the main thing is that Leolu still can't abandon his part of himself as a human, at least in mind. He also doesn't like to be dictated by others, and he doesn't want to experience the feeling of losing his freedom. So while traveling with Ikki is a good thing, Leo Lu has his own plans. Regardless of the impossibility of leaving, one day, Leolu will have to travel on his own, which may be far away and difficult, but it is also a part of his life, so it is also a necessary part.

"Okay, we'll talk about that later. If you don't hurry up but keep up, Ikki will have to go far!"

Leo Lu pointed to Kazuki, who was waving at the two of them in the distance, and looked at the fire dinosaur in embarrassment.

"Roar [Okay, then ...... next time]"

Finally no longer the coerced party, Leolu let out a long breath.

"What an energetic guy...... Isn't that right, Selia?"

Leolu rubbed his shoulder, which had just been pressed a little painfully, and looked at the girl beside him with a smile.

Selia nodded: "Hmm...... It's just a little, too ...... Energetic...... Finish. ”

Leo Lu shrugged and shifted his gaze once again to Kazuki and the fire dinosaur who had come together.

"Well...... Anyway, it's good to have energy," he grabbed Selia's hand and ran forward with her, "Let's go, we can't be left too far behind." ”

Celia nodded again, but Leolu didn't see an extra blush on the girl's low countenance.

By the time Leo and Selia arrived at the front of the house, Kazuki and the Fire Dinosaur had been standing in front of the door for a long time, but they didn't look like they had been waiting for the two of them.

There is also a short flight of stairs at the front of the house, and the floor is also built a little higher than the normal house, and the bottom is supported by thick wooden stakes. The stairs reflected the sun's rays like wax, and Leo felt the water stains when he stepped on it, but who knows what it was.

"What's wrong with Ikki, what's the problem?"

Leo Lu led Selia to the door, looked at Ikki who was a little overwhelmed and asked.

“…… It's not a problem, it's just that no one seems to ...... this room now" Kazuki knocked on the door hard, "No matter how much I knocked, there was no response......"

"That's right......" Leolu suddenly fell into decay, and sat lazily on the ground. Ikki knew of course how eager Leo Lu was to leave such a boring place, but now that his hopes were dashed, it was not surprising that Leo Lu would be depressed.

"But the door to this house is unlocked...... Perhaps, you can go in and have a look?"

As soon as he finished saying this, Leo Lu jumped up and regained his original appearance.

"Then let's go in, maybe there will be a clue on how to get out of this hellish place......"

However, Kazuki hesitated: "But isn't this a little bad...... Breaking into the owner's house or something......"

"But it's also the most effective way, if you don't go I'll come by myself!" said Leolu, opening the door to the house.

The room was a little dark, there were no electric lights, but there was no dust, and the floor was still wet, as if it couldn't be done at all.

Leo Lu didn't care about anything else, and slowly walked in and began to look around.

Selia followed closely, leaving only the fire dinosaur and Kazuki, who were still outside, still staring wide-eyed.

"Hey, I can only go in the fire dinosaurs. ”

"Roar. ”

After looking around and making sure there was no sign of anyone, the two of them walked inside.

The house is bigger than it looks from the outside, and although the rooms are small but complex, it is indeed a mansion.

Leo Lu was looking for clues such as maps one by one in the order of the rooms, and of course Selia would not do anything else, and Ikki and the fire dinosaur walked around the hall where they had just entered, but they didn't touch a single item.

"I always feel a sense of guilt......"

"Roar. “

Time passed like this, and Ikki also experienced the feeling of boredom that Leolu felt.

But suddenly, there was a noise in the depths of the room, and Kazuki saw Leo Lu fly out of the room and hit the wall hard.

"Who are you, what are you doing here?!"
