Chapter 72: State of Emergency
"Daddy, he's okay!
Leo Lu stood at the bottom of the public phone booth, looking at Yihui, who almost jumped up with joy with the receiver, and followed him with a sigh of relief.
But before he could finish exhaling this breath, his heart was suddenly raised to his throat.
"You said Chirulian had an accident......?! How is this possible!" Kazuki said and glanced down at Leolu, who had obviously become serious by hearing his gaffe, and hoped that he had misheard, "Chirulian has already left Kanto...... And ......"
Leo Lu was still not at ease, so he simply jumped on Ikki's shoulder two or three times, and put his ear to the side of the earpiece.
But before Yihui could finish his words, he was shocked away by a loud bang.
"Of course I know about this kind of thing!!!"
Suddenly there was a runaway roar from the earpiece, causing Kazuki to keep his ears away from what he was holding almost at the same time.
The loud sound shook Leolu's ears a little, but with the crisis ahead, how could he care about this?
"Uh-huh...... Sister Nazi, you calm down first. ”
There was still a screaming noise coming from the other end of the phone, and Kazuki didn't dare to get too close.
"Huhuhu...... All in all, the situation seems to be very unpromising......"
Leolu listened to Kazuki's whisper beside him and nodded silently.
"It seems that we should go back first, it should be okay to ride Seria's little black at night, it is not easy to be discovered......"
Leo Road gave a viable piece of advice, but he couldn't say if it would work out.
"No, you two don't come back just yet!"
As she spoke, Nazi sounded calm, and could hear Leolu's voice clearly.
“……”
Kazuki looked at Leolu, who was a little stunned after hearing Nazi's words, and took the earpiece to his ear first.
"Why don't you let us go back, since that Chirulian is in danger, of course we'll rush over to help as soon as possible!"
Here, Ikki deliberately used "that one" to confirm.
"The Kanto side has already been taken over by the police Interpol, and although the whole case is very tricky, under the investigation of me and several other gym trainers, it should be completed soon!"
Nazi was full of confidence, and Yihui didn't want to splash cold water on her at such a time, so she had to agree.
"But do you have any suspicions right now?
Leo Lu snatched the microphone from Ikki's hand, and the last few words were said word by word, coupled with his terrifying expression, it was enough to show how angry he was, and he didn't have a seizure because he deliberately suppressed it.
"Do you think so too? Actually, after this series of cases in the Kanto region, the first thing I suspected was Team Rocket, but they didn't know why, the crime scene was either traceless or turned into ruins, and there were no reports of lost valuables, which is really incomprehensible!"
Nazi vented again, and she could even be heard rubbing her long, silky hair through the earpiece.
"You stay over there with Ikki first, it's not safe here in the Kanto region at the moment...... We'll do what we can!"
Leo Lu nodded, and seemed to be a little relieved: "Well, since there are international police to help you, it is obviously not a case that the two of us can meddle in...... But I still have a question, so how on earth do you know that Chirulian is the Chirulian we know?"
Nazi was silent for a long time, during which time there was two or three noises of some kind of small shelf collapsing in the microphone, and then a human voice was heard.
"Turn on the camera over there, and I'll confirm this with you!"
Leolu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Nazi to ask him in turn, but he still had the first reaction to beckon Ikki to help.
"Wait a minute, I'll look for ......"
The distance was so close, of course, that Ikki was listening carefully the whole time, and before Leolu could ask for it, he gave priority to groping around on the machine.
Although Joto is not very far from the Kanto region, the differences between various things are very large, so Ikki wasted a lot of time in the process of finding the camera switch.
"Thanks, Ikki......" Leo Lu patted the boy on the head gently.
"What's there to thank you for this, isn't it ...... to help a friend?"
Kazuki looked at the elf on his shoulder, but found that he didn't listen to himself at all, and felt a little lonely.
Leolu's gaze froze once again when the picture appeared.
"How? Do you recognize this?"
Nazi in the picture is as imagined with fluffy and messy hair that is different from usual, which looks completely funny.
But the point wasn't on Nazi, but on the hand she stretched out toward the camera in the middle of nowhere.
"Hmm...... I definitely remember this thing...... It's just that I didn't expect it to be so serious......"
“…… Leo Road ......"
Kazuki slowly lifted the elf on his shoulder, the touch of his hand was so light and small, then fragile.
"Forget it, it's nothing," Leolu shook his head, breaking Ikki's hands back onto his shoulders.
Picking up the earpiece and pressing it to her ear again, Leolu solemnly made a request to Nazi.
"Please make sure she's safe......"
For some reason, Leolu suddenly realized that he cared more about the elf named Chirulian than he had imagined, and even ...... The moment he heard the news that she was in danger, he even wished he was by her side at that time......
"Ikki...... Am I having something wrong?"
Inexplicable, really inexplicable.
For Leo or Ikki, it's both.
"No...... Let's just do what you want to do, and I'll help you!"
Leolu nodded, not indicating.
"We ...... Just stay in the city, and now ...... I want to ...... quietly."
Handing over the phone to Kazuki, Leo Lu jumped to the ground, pulled his scarf, which was not messy, and walked towards the room in the Elf Center with his head down.
"Why...... What the hell is this for?"
Secretly, his fists tightened and tightened.
Ikki, who was left behind, took the earpiece and watched Leolu disappear from view before putting it to his ear.
"Leoluta...... I'm sorry for Kazuki, I didn't know it would make him so ...... seeing this."
"It's okay, Sister Nazi" Ichiki barely squeezed out a smile, looked at the red bow that Nazi raised again on the screen and said, "He won't be ...... much"
But after a pause, Yihui's expression became serious: "But I still have a question-Sister Nazi, how did you hear Leolu's [telepathy]? We all know that this ability can't be transmitted through the phone, right?"
After Yihui's reminder, Nazi realized the strange phenomenon that had been brought by her excitement.
"yes, why didn't I notice this......"
"But we can't help you from this distance...... Chirulian, please of you......"
