It's a sunny day today because it's almost summer and the sun is coming out a little earlier than usual.

I have to say that the rainy days in spring are indeed a little longer, but since it is sunny, of course it is a good thing.

Although the rain a few days ago was long, the heavy rain washed the city and people's hearts.

Leo Lu arrived outside the Elven Center, first taking a deep breath and then smiling self-deprecatingly.

With a hint of uneasiness from yesterday, Leolu told himself: at least, throw those things away for the time being.

"Kazuki, what's next?"

Stretching his waist, Leo Lu lazily asked the young man behind him.

"We're going to the Hinoki Gym in Hinoki Town now, where we have to get the second badge, but it looks a bit far...... It should be going well......"

After listening to Kazuki's words, Leolu shook his head in some disappointment and rushed over and jumped on his shoulder.

"How many times have I told you, don't look like this anymore!!"

Pulling at Ikki's ears, Leolu really had a feeling of hating iron and not steel.

God knows why it was like this, and Leolu also noticed that his temper seemed to be a little wrong, but he couldn't do that much...... You can't do nothing!

"Okay, okay, I know, ah!

Trying to rip off Leolu's claws, Kazuki rubbed his somewhat reddened ears and looked at Leolu in distress.

"Leolu, I know how you feel...... Like you, I felt that there were some things I hadn't done, and I was very upset, but ......" Ichiki put away the map, took Leo Lu off his shoulder, and held it in front of him.

"But you can't stand still, you have to move forward...... That's, Yuto seems to say so!"

Flower Feather walked up to the two of them with Celia at some point, and seemed to hear their conversation.

"That guy doesn't even know where he is or what he's doing, so don't mention him!"

Leo Lu broke free from Kazuki's restraints and jumped to the ground, walking towards the outside of town without looking back.

Yihui looked at Leo Lu until he walked a little farther, then quietly turned around and said to Hua Ling and Selia, "Is Leo Lu getting a little wrong?"

Yihui knew that Hua Ling should not know these problems, after all, this big sister couldn't even understand some of Leolu's words, and it was really a bit difficult for her to see what the non-human Leolu was thinking in his heart.

But this time, Hua Ling was very sensible, not only did she show that innocent smile, but even frowned, looking at Leo Lu's back intently.

"Looks ...... It's not like you're sick...... But I can't say the specifics. ”

Originally, when Yihui saw Hua Ling's appearance, he was a little worried about whether she knew some of last night's content through some method, but now it seems that it may be just because Hua Ling thought that Leolu's state was caused by illness, so she finally took it seriously.

"Forget it, Leolu himself won't say it anyway, and ordinary people like us who don't have superpowers can't guess it, well, so be it......"

Ikki is still a child, and he will inevitably feel tired when he is troubled by a series of these trivial matters......

"Let's go, don't keep him waiting too long!"

Carrying the small satchel in his hand, Ikki had to smile slightly distressedly, and then strode after Leo Road in front of him.

Hua Ling pouted, holding Selia's hand with a little effort.

"Your brother and Ikki are really willful......! The most capricious is really our Celia~!"

Looking at Hua Ling's posture that she couldn't wait to hug up immediately, Selia instinctively ran away from her.

"Selia...... It's not, your ...... Stuff...... Selia ...... Belong only, brother...... One person!"

"Okay, I see, Celia really likes to drill the horns!"

——————————————————————

The journey went on for a while, and the group of Yihui and his party, who were walking through the vast forests of the Johin area, did not know exactly when they had arrived.

The foliage was too dense to block the sun, and the woods were gloomy, and there was always a feeling that something bad was coming out.

But what reassures Yihui is that the two girls who followed him ...... Or women, not worried about these things, as if the nerves are too big.

"Flee early or something...... It's so cunning!"

Yihui complained helplessly, and at this time he finally felt the horror of Hua Ling, and sure enough, without the troublesome and powerful character of Youdou, Hua Ling would still give people a headache.

At this time, Leo Lu, who had been walking within a hundred meters or so of Ikki and them, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose, he looked left and right, and finally it was down to his delusions and sensitive nerves.

"Sure enough...... I'm still overly nervous......"

With a hard claw on his arm, Leolu felt a little more sober.

"However, the purpose of the Rockets gang is still unclear...... I'll ask Yuto in the future, I remember that guy...... Well, there should be a good intelligence network?"

Hinoki Town is supposed to be a city where insect elves gather, and the research there is basically centered around insect elves,...... The exact Leolu is not clear, but ...... It's all bugs or something......

Thinking about this, I still get goosebumps.

With a breath, Leolu crouched on a tall branch, boredom paying attention to his surroundings and preventing him from getting into trouble with a red-haired teenager like he had done last time.

"Speaking of which...... What the hell is that boy...... It feels mysterious, but it's very well-behaved, and it's really a contradictory person. ”

Shaking his head, Leo Lu stood up, gauging Kazuki's speed and starting to jump forward.

"Ahh——!!hh

An innocent female scream suddenly appeared in the forest, and she didn't need to think about it to know that it was Hua Ling, but the reason was unknown......

Leolu gritted his teeth, frowned, and hurried towards where the scream had come from.

The range of the waveguide is very wide, and Leolu has confirmed that there are no dangerous insect spirits approaching, and Hua Ling will not be the kind of woman who is afraid of bugs.

Leo thought as he ran down the road, it could only be that his waveguide didn't cover the ground.

"Ikki, what's wrong!"

Soon arrived at the scene of the incident, Leo Lu saw Hua Ling's eyes red, holding Selia with resentment on her face and sobbing, so she had to ask Yihui, who was standing on the side and didn't know what to do at all.

"That's right—" Kazuki looked at Blossom uncomfortably, turning and pushing Leo Lu to a place a little further away from them to make sure Blossom wouldn't be heard, "That Changeling Monster named Skin...... It's gone. ”
