The morning sun rose as usual, softly spreading on the land of the elven world.

It was bright outside the car window, but Da Mu, who had not slept all night, was very interested in driving the off-road vehicle through the forest path.

It was already the third morning since the departure, and I stopped for a few nights at the inn along the way for necessary rest and supplies, and spent the rest of the time on the road.

Although Yihui and Leo Lu have no complaints, after all, just from the itinerary, they can understand that Damu does not have enough time for them, otherwise they would not be in such a hurry.

Now that they have reached the range of the quartz plateau, I have to say that although the big wooden people are no longer young, their driving skills are first-class, and the whole person has completely changed as long as he looks at the car, and he was scared of Yihui and Leo Lu at that time.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew some of the life of Damu, Leo Lu would really think that the old man sitting in the driver's seat now was a retired professional race car driver.

But fortunately, the performance of the car is big enough, people don't feel bumps when sitting on it, and with such a soft seat, it doesn't feel like you're in a hurry at all, but like you're traveling.

Sensing the change in temperature, Leolu, who was asleep, trembled in his ears and rolled over, but he didn't wake up.

Ikki and Selia opened their eyes at this point in time.

"Good morning, Seria, Dr. Oki...... Ha~~ Where are we?"

Kazuki sat up with the car door, and the first thing he did was ask Oki where they were now.

"Oh, it's almost to the Quartz Plateau now, and I've already contacted that hospital in advance, so I'll be there tonight!"

Oki smiled kindly, but he couldn't look away because of driving, so he had to say to Kazuki, "Go and see how the two little guys are doing?" ”

Yihui scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "No way, who said that the weather would change last night......"

Just yesterday evening, when the sun was setting, the weather changed like a flip book, and the sky that had just been clear was suddenly raining heavily, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

It's just a natural weather phenomenon, but there is one person who shows an unnatural scene.

The moment he heard the thunder, Leolu's body became very stiff as if petrified, and the whole elf shrank in the corner of the back seat of the car, doing nothing, just clasping his legs tightly with his claws, and his eyes were full of fear and uneasiness as if he had seen some terrifying monster.

Of course, his behavior was noticed by a group of people who were traveling with him, but no one understood what was wrong with him, whether it was touching him, calling him, or pulling him...... It's completely like wood, and there's no reaction at all.

Desperate Kazuki and Oki can only pin their hopes on Selia, but the result is not surprisingly disappointing them.

"I didn't expect it...... Leolu, who was so brave and fearless, was afraid of thunder...... That's weird, isn't it?"

Kazuki sighed as he looked at Leolu huddled in the corner.

But fortunately, in the end, it was Celia who solved all this and succeeded in calming Leolu to sleep.

It was precisely because of this incident that they stayed up for a long time, and Damu said that he was a little uneasy, so he didn't sleep all night.

"Okay, don't talk about those who don't have it, hurry up and see how they're doing!" said Oki pretending to be angry.

Kazuki nodded, then turned to look behind his seat.

As soon as he turned around, he met Selia's clear eyes, and then the little girl quietly stretched out an index finger and put it to her mouth, meaning to ask Ikki not to wake Leolu.

Although it is not impossible that Leo Lu slept a little longer than usual because that happened last night, it really felt a little unrealistic when this happened.

Kazuki understood what Celia wanted to take care of, but before he could observe it for long, he quickly returned to his seat as if he had seen something surprising.

At this moment, Celia lying in the back seat was hugging Leo Lu, who was breathing slightly, her arms were wrapped around Leolu's waist without leaving any gap, and her small hands gently supported Leolu's head and pressed him to her chest. Leolu's size wasn't too big for Celia, and combined with his unique sleeping habits, it looked like Celia was lying on a chair as if she was holding a blue, fluffy ball.

It's not like Izuki saw something he shouldn't see. It's just that when he confirmed the situation of the latter two, he seemed to see a trace of anger in Selia's eyes......

The look in his eyes clearly told Ikki that he had disturbed the time Celia and Leolu had spent alone.

In short, the atmosphere in the car was very awkward, and this atmosphere lasted until Leo Road came to his senses.

"Ha~~~, good morning, everyone...... Haaah~~"

Although Leolu sat up from Celia's arms, his eyes had not yet opened, and the whole elf sat on the chair and swayed from side to side, and Celia had to sit up and hug Leolu tightly again.

"Uh-huh, good morning!"

Kazuki greeted Leo Lu actively, but when he saw that Leo Lu didn't even open his eyes, his movements stopped in mid-air.

"Hmm...... I always feel like my head hurts, what's going on?"

"Huh?!Leolu, don't you remember?"

Leolu shook his head, then raised his paw and clenched his fist and struck his head twice hard.

“…… I don't remember exactly......"

Ikki's eyes widened, and he immediately turned over from his chair and asked him, "You really can't remember? Didn't you suddenly get ...... last night?"

"Nothing happened!"

Before Ichiki could finish speaking, Oki suddenly spoke.

"Dr. Oki, why are you ......" Ikki said he didn't quite understand.

But Da Mu didn't answer, just smiled and shook his head, and continued to say to Leolu: "You seem to have fainted last night because you were too tired to take care of these two children...... Generally speaking, this situation is just a matter of rest, it's not a big deal!"

Leolu, who had his eyes closed, heard Damu's words, and a silly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Of course...... Who called these two children...... It's so hard...... Take care...... ......"

Leolu spoke, his voice getting quieter and quieter, and finally fell asleep again.

Kazuki glanced at Selia and asked her to take care of Leolu, and turned to Dr. Ohki.

As if he knew what Ikki was going to say, Oki opened his mouth before he could speak: "Ikki, Leo Road has become what it is now because of the weather last night, isn't it adding fuel to the fire if you mention this matter now? Sometimes, lies are also very necessary!"

And Leolu, who is sleeping soundly, is also having a strange dream at the moment, although it is ridiculous, but in Leolu's opinion, this dream is not insignificant......
