Natsu strolled until the evening, with Ikki dragging his almost paralyzed legs after her, and Leolu carrying a large bag about his height with his paws as a strong laborer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When I returned to the Elf Center, I happened to meet Zhenghui who walked out of the door. However, when Zhenghui saw the bag in Leolu's hand, he almost had the illusion that they had ransacked other shops.

"This ...... It's really fruitful!"

It seems that they can't be allowed to go shopping casually in the future, otherwise I am afraid that it will bring some big trouble.

"Dr. Zhenghui, what do you do next? Rest first or continue on your way?"

Looking at the suitcases in Zhenghui's hand, it seems that he obviously does not plan to live here temporarily. It's no wonder, because research is time-sensitive, the faster the better, and the itinerary is also full, which shows Zhenghui's enthusiasm for research. That's exactly what Leolu admired about him.

"Oluo Road. “

Masaki noticed Leo Lu beside Ikki and nodded and smiled.

"The little guy is very smart, can you lend me to observe for two days?"

Ikki was a little embarrassed, and he took two steps in front of Leolu.

"This ...... Still no, sorry. “

"Hahaha, I'm not obsessed with that, I'm just joking. “

Zhenghui nodded again, picked up his bag and walked in front to lead the way.

"We're going to Pengkan Island next, and we're still far from our final destination!"

Ikki looked into the distance, sighed, and had to signal to Nazi and Leolu before following.

"Leolu, don't you think Ikki seems to have changed a little?"

Nazi crossed her arms and said thoughtfully.

"yes, I sometimes feel like he's not the same Kazuki I know anymore, like...... A lot less enthusiasm and naivety. “

Leolu placed the large bag on the floor, picking out the things that might be useful and putting them in his backpack.

Natsu watched all this and didn't say much. Although she bought all these things alone, it was not very possible if she wanted to take so many things on the road, especially if she was still on a boat.

Masaki traveled to another edge of the island and followed the news he heard from the Elven Center to find the merchant who had rented a ship nearby.

In the meantime, Nazi, Ikki, and Leo were left to the side, waiting for Masaki to borrow a boat that could be used.

A common feature of the tropics is the large temperature difference between day and night. It hadn't been long since Leo Lu had been standing for a long time, and Leo Lu was already feeling the biting cold wind. I had to take the scarf out of my bag and wrap it around my body.

Looking at the sky that was basically dark, except for the clouds that flew away quickly, all that was left was the bird elves hurrying home.

"That scarf, I've been wearing it for a long time, why don't you try another one? “

Nazi crouched down and lifted the scarf that was about to fall to the ground with her hand, feeling the charred bullet hole with some pity.

Leo Lu shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a small hole, it doesn't matter." “

"I'll give you another one sometime, this scarf has been worn for so long, it's time to change it. “

Kazuki also came up, looking at the scarf that contained a lot of memories.

Leolu was about to tell him that there wasn't that need, when Masaki stood on the shore and started calling out to the two of them.

"It seems that Dr. Zhenghui has borrowed a working boat, hey, spending the night at sea or something, I really didn't expect such a day. “

Natsu stood up, stretched, and walked towards the shore.

"Let's go over too, it may be busy lately, and I've worked hard for you a little. “

Kazuki smiled apologetically, Leo Lu clearly understood what this meant, but there was no way to do it, shrugged his shoulders and walked with Kazuki.

The boat can seat six people, so it is already a big ship for a few of them, Ikki and Natsu sit on one end, and Masaki and the luggage sit on the other side.

"Kazuki, this is the report I sent to me when I was at the Elf Center, Dr. Ohki, it looks like it belongs to the elf whose name I don't know...... Now that you think about it, it seems that most of your elves are not from this region, right?"

Slightly embarrassed, he took the report from his hand, and Kazuki held it between himself and Nazi, looking at it carefully.

Leo Lu rowed at the stern of the boat, a little curious about what was written on it, but Ikki would have told him sooner or later anyway, so he didn't run over to look at it.

Rowing was Leolu's own initiative, not to mention the abundant physical strength that completely surpassed human beings, but more importantly, he now needs to use all the time to train himself, rowing is a good way to exercise. That's what Ikki asked him to do before.

Because of Leolu's efforts, the speed of the ship was terrifying, and by the time Ikki and Nazi had almost slept up, they could already see the small island called Pengkan Island from a distance.

However, when he looked up at the endless sky, Masaki's brow furrowed.

"We don't seem to have a lot of luck......"

If you listen closely, you can already hear the thunder from afar, and the storm is the worst at sea, and it is not something that a small boat like theirs can withstand.

"Trouble you two, we must land on the island before the storm comes. “

Masaki said to Ikki and Nazi as he pulled out his spare one-handed paddle from under his seat. Leo Lu also sped up his own paddle swinging.

He didn't want to get drenched, and it was hard to get his hair soaked.

……

Although they made it safely to shore before the storm came, after securing the boat, the downpour fell mercilessly and hit the people.

Unfortunately, just like Ash and his gang, they never had the habit of carrying umbrellas, so they had to run towards the forest with their own bags.

There are no inhabitants near the coast, and they can only hope to find shelter in the forest such as cliffs or safe caves, and wait until the rainstorm passes.

The worst of the group was Leolu, who had no backpack to cover and had to put his scarf on his head, but it was soon completely soaked and attached to his equally wet body.

"Hey, there's a house there, I think we'd better go there first!"

Zhenghui suddenly turned his head and pointed to the large house looming in front of them.

There is no other option at the moment, and since there are people living here, I can help them.

After a while, they finally came to the front of the house, and stood under the eaves, Ikki and Leolu wringing the water on their bodies, Natsu arranging her long hair, and Masaki being sent to knock on the door.

Taking advantage of this free time, Leo Lu took a look at the house.

It looks like a mansion, built of wood, and over the years, the vines planted in front of the house have crawled all over the side of the house, and some have even broken the planks and burrowed into the interior of the house, and through the rows of glass, nothing can be seen from the outside.

"Click!"

There was a mechanical crash at the door, and when he turned his head, he saw that Zhenghui was twisting the doorknob, and the scarred wooden door had been opened.

"Dr. Zhenghui, this ......"

"I don't know, but as if the door was never locked, the metal lock was completely rusted and couldn't be turned at all. Masaki faced Ikki and pointed to the inside of the lock and explained, "And this door was opened by itself, I just put my hand on it and didn't push it in." “

Nazi, who was standing on the side, suddenly took a breath of cold air: "According to what you said, this shouldn't be a haunted house, right?"

"Haunted house? The house looks abandoned, so let's go in first. “

Nazi looked left and right, nodded and walked in.

She wasn't afraid, after all, she had a ghost herself, but this house always gave her a bad feeling, as if there was a great coercion surrounding the land.
