Chapter Thirty-Eight: Naughty Elves, Dusty Hearts

In fact, to be honest, it is really easy to feel nervous in such an environment.

The mother-in-law of the nursery house basically didn't care about Kazuki and Leolu's actions, and only faked coughing twice to warn them when they accidentally approached the doors of those rooms.

But the more her mother-in-law did this, the more curious Ikki became. But there was no intelligence at all, and he had nowhere to help.

The sun hadn't set yet, so Kazuki took his Poké Ball and ran outside the house to practice the battle that he hadn't done for a long time.

Leo Lu also wanted to go out with Ikki to try his skills, but it seemed that he couldn't continue to do strenuous exercise anymore.

"Selia, would you like to come with me to the backyard to have a look?" Leolu suggested, raising his paw and pointing at the gate.

Selia nodded, but a hint of sentimentality slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Leolu froze, but lowered his head and chuckled.

"So you found out a long time ago......"

Above that fireplace, only half of the picture now looks particularly eye-catching.

"In that case, you should rest here. After walking for so many days in vain, I guess you are also tired. Leo Lu walked to the door of the backyard as he spoke, and did not forget to explain to Selia: "If you are really bored, you can find Ikki and ask for Zoroa!"

Leolu just had a faint feeling that Zoroa's personality was the opposite of Selia's, but it was unexpectedly suitable, even if Selia was not a trainer, he should be able to become good friends with Zoroa.

Celia was stunned when she heard this, but her head tilted to think about something, and then nodded again.

The backyard was very lively, and the old woman's gentle words could be heard through the wooden door, and the excitement reached its climax after she went out.

But when I think of that photo, the joy in front of me is only superficial.

Out of politeness, Leo Lu did not push the door and go out, but knocked lightly three times.

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the backyard, and Leo Lu heard a sluggish footstep approaching the wooden door.

"What's the matter?"

A crack opened in the door, and the old woman peered out of the room through the crack. But she didn't see anything other than seeing Selia sitting upright in the hall.

"European ...... Oulu!"

Ay...... It's a hard injury......

Hearing the voice, the old woman looked down, and finally saw Leo Road by the door.

Even when compared to an old man with a somewhat hunched back, Leo Lu was still a lot shorter.

'If it weren't for the fact that I could improve my strength better, I would have evolved a long time ago......

After all, the old woman couldn't hear Leolu's inner monologue, and when she opened the door, she found that he was the only one in front of the door, and the old woman's attitude eased a lot.

"You...... What's the matter?"

She thought Leolu couldn't understand it, so she even added rich body language to express herself to Leolu when she spoke.

Leolu smiled, and raised his paw to point at the group of elves behind the old woman who seemed to be frightened and gathered together.

"You...... Want to play with them?"

Although Leo Lu didn't mean that he wanted to play, he nodded in order to live up to the old man's hard work.

So the old woman made way for him to pass through, and then quickly closed the door.

However, this group of elves was obviously very scared, and when they saw Leo walking towards them, they were completely walking around him, and none of them dared to come forward to talk.

"Hey...... These boys are still like this, what the hell is going on......"

The old woman also looked distressed, and Leolu guessed that this situation must have only happened for too long.

Without the two humans, Kazuki and Selia, the old woman was much more relaxed, and she didn't treat Leolu with the same indifference as she had at the beginning.

It seems that her feelings for elves have not changed. Although Leolu did not understand this emotion, the old man must not have felt very well.

There are many elves in the courtyard, such as the little fire dragon, the wonderful frog seed, the green caterpillar, the bada butterfly, and the little Lada...... There are also some elves that Leolu has not seen before, but all of them are small elves, few of which are larger than Leolu.

On the outskirts of the elves in a bunch, there was a crocodile-shaped elf, blue throughout, but slightly lighter than Leolu's, with a red dorsal fin attached to the tail on its back, and two rectangular yellow stripes on its chest.

It looks like this is the boss of this group of elves...... Oh no, it should be said that it is more appropriate to say that it is the king of children.

So, Leolu didn't care what the old woman thought, and walked straight to the blue elf.

As long as you have a good relationship with the child king, the other elves will naturally relax their vigilance together. In this way, Leolu can also find some useful information from them.

When the rest of the elves saw Leolu approaching, they all scattered and ran to the old woman's feet and hid, only the elf was pushed out as the other elves fled, and unfortunately, it happened to be in front of Leolu.

It was a challenge for the elf, but it was also a challenge for Leolu.

Although his body has become like this, he is still an adult at heart, and he is very uncomfortable with facing children, and Leolu doesn't know where to start.

So the scene fell into a very embarrassing situation for a while.

"Alright, little saw crocodile, this is only here today...... Uh, Mr. 'Blindfold', hurry up and say hello!"

After listening to the old woman's nickname, Leo Lu almost couldn't help but laugh in front of him.

Although the old woman wasn't there when Ikki called Leolu, this strange nickname was really dramatic.

Rebuked by the old woman, the little saw crocodile also came to his senses, and stretched out his little paws tremblingly, but his body retreated.

Leolu looked down at the little sawcrodile's trembling claws, chuckled and stretched out his claws, but only touched them lightly and retracted.

"Hey, what can I do...... It's better to ask the kid......"

The old woman shook her head in annoyance, turned and went into the house.

At this moment, the elves were completely panicked, and they all moved to the corner of the backyard to shiver, and from time to time they looked at the little saw crocodile.

"Oluo Road. [That...... I'm Leolu, not Mr. Blindfold, please advise!"

Leolu didn't know if it understood the human language, and it would have eased the mood somewhat.

The little saw crocodile slowly opened his eyes that were closed in fright, and looked tentatively at Leolu: "Wow...... Wow~~~ 【You...... Aren't you really a monster that can hurt elves?"

This made Leolu puzzled: "Monster? How can I be a monster, I'm also an elf, just like you!"

……

After Leolu's patient guidance, the little sawcrocodile gradually let down his guard, and was finally able to have a normal conversation with Leolu.

"Wow![So, Leolu, you're just here to play?]" The little sawcrocodile leaned up excitedly, and this overly intimate behavior scared Leolu himself.

It seems that this guy's true face is also a self-acquaintance.

"Oulu![Well, sort of!]"

As the conversation progressed, Leolu found that he seemed to be a little struggling, and he really didn't adapt to facing the child's situation......

"Wow!! [great!!" The little saw crocodile waved his little short paw at the elves in the corner as he crossed Leolu's body and shouted, "Wow, wow......, wow, wow!] Uh, Mr. 'Blindfold'!!]"

This guy looks like his owner, Leolu didn't remember the self-introduction at all, and now it's good that he still has to communicate with this group of elves with such a title.

When it was time for dinner, Ikki retrieved the Poké Ball from Lulili and the Fire Dinosaur, pushed open the door and walked over to Selia who was holding Zoroa.

"This little guy didn't bother you, did he?"

Zoroa is a little unbearable when he is awake, but he is indeed a good baby when he is asleep.

Celia glanced at Kazuki, shook her head, and continued to gently caress Zoroa's body.

Kazuki smiled, suddenly remembered something, took out a folded comb from his backpack, and handed it to Celia.

"This is what my mother gave me to help Leo Lu groom his hair, but he doesn't seem to be very reluctant, so he hasn't used it a few times, so I'll lend it to you now!"

Selia looked at the comb for a moment, then slowly took it from Ikki's hand, slowly placed it on Zoroa, and finally gently played with the handle of the comb.

Zoroa, who was lying on Selia's lap, moved his ears, let out a comfortable snort from his nose, and slept more peacefully.

This surprised Selia a little, but she didn't show it, and the girl just bowed her head to Ikki to thank her, and continued to groom Zoroa.

At this moment, the door of the backyard opened, and the old woman walked out with Leolu, although only for a moment, but the old woman's face did flash a heartfelt smile.

"This is your Leo Road, it's not too early, so you should rest quickly......"

Yihui nodded, walked over and hugged Leolu: "Thank you again for your help, we won't trouble you!"

The old woman nodded, glanced around the living room, and sighed: "You go to the utility room and find a mop, at least clean the place where you sleep, I still have something to do, I can't spare it." ”

Kazuki glanced at the half-hidden door: "Okay, I'll go in a while!"

Watching the door of the backyard close gently, Yihui breathed a sigh of relief, but asked Leo Lu in his arms suspiciously: "I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that my mother-in-law's attitude seems to have changed a little better...... Now, Leolu, what's wrong with you?"

Kazuki then noticed that something was wrong with Leolu, so he turned him around and held him up in front of him.

Leolu lowered his head, as if he was very unmotivated.

"Kazuki, is the pattern on my face weird?"

Leo Lu looked up, tears glistening in his eyes pointing to the black pattern near his eyes.

Ikki didn't know why Leolu asked this, but he replied very seriously: "It's not strange, I think it's a little cool." ”

But Leo Lu shook his head: "Did you bring sunglasses when you went out?

"I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of thing......"

Ikki looked at Leo Lu like this, completely confused, but the only thing that was certain was that Leo Lu seemed to have been hit quite hard because of the blindfold-shaped pattern on his face.

"Damn, I didn't expect that although they were just a group of children, they could speak so viciously...... Pattern or something, just find a barber shop to dye it...... Hmmm......"

But even if you receive such treatment, you do have something to gain.

——————————————————————

And at this time, Leolu didn't know that the role that could change him in this world had finally appeared......

"Wait for me, Leo Lu!!"
