"Okay, be careful, put this on him!"

"Be gentle, don't wake him up!"

"I know, I know, so it's okay......"

"No, no, that's right. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWow!It's so cute, I really want to hug him. ”

Early in the morning, Leolu, who was asleep, was woken up by the small chatter of several people. I went to bed very early last night, and I was probably really too tired as Ikki said, so much so that I seemed to oversleep a little.

Sitting up from Kazuki's bed in a daze, rubbing his sleepy eyes, Leolu slowly opened his eyes, and saw four people standing or sitting on the edge of the bed, and Pikachu was also lying beside him.

"Oulu?[What's going on?]"

Feeling that there seemed to be something more on his neck, Leolu raised his paw and touched it, and as far as it could seem, it should be a cloth product.

"I told you to be careful, really, Xiaoxia, you are too sloppy. This is Xiao Gang's voice.

"I'm obviously very careful~" This is the blamed Xiaoxia.

Ikki did not participate in the action of the three, he was standing by the wall. Seeing that Leo Lu woke up, he picked up a small mirror from the dresser, walked to Leo Lu, and said helplessly: "Although I have told them not to disturb you, but they don't listen, and I can't do anything, you can see for yourself." ”

As he spoke, he placed the mirror next to Leo Road. Leolu held the mirror up to him with his paws, and immediately knew what they were doing.

'What the hell are these guys up to, why are you putting this on for me?'

Leo Lu was tied around his neck with a red silk tie and two small golden bells underneath, which made a pleasant sound if he moved a little wider.

"Leolu, don't be angry, you're very cute like this, can you let me hug you?"

Although Leo Lu can't refuse other people's requests like Ikki in some aspects, this time, he decisively stretched out his claws to block Xiaoxia.

was a little depressed when he was woken up, but these people staged this play again, which made him cry and laugh.

Turning his face to look at Yihui, the latter just waved his hand helplessly to show his innocence.

Now that everyone is awake, it's just time for breakfast.

Leo Lu could only sigh once again that Xiaoxia's house was big, and the restaurant was still on the second floor.

"In that case, let's all come out!"

Ash took off a few Poké Balls from his belt and released all the elves.

"Wait, I'll do it too!" Xiaoxia also released the elf she was carrying, and there was a pool that wasn't too small anyway.

"I only have a little fire dragon. ”

Because none of the elves who followed him were willing to stay in the Poke Ball, Ikki only had one Poke Ball.

"Okay, okay, everyone has a share, don't rob it!"

Xiao Gang is responsible for the preparation of breakfast, after all, he is an all-round person in housework.

"Pickup pickup!【Leo Road, let's eat together, Xiaogang's cooking is delicious!]"

Pikachu jumped up and down one of the lunch boxes that Xiao Gang had placed on the ground on his head and walked towards Leo Road.

"Oulu Road. [Yes.] 】”

Breakfast time was enjoyable, and everyone took their elves back.

"Okay, okay, what's next?"

"Hmm...... Going out shopping or something?" Sure enough, it was a girl, and Xiaoxia's first thought was shopping.

"Well, that sounds good, Kazuki, let's go together and see if there's anything fun to be had. ”

It was rare to see that Xiao Gang would take the initiative to ask to follow, Leo Lu looked at Yihui, who nodded.

"Let's go together, there's nothing to do at home anyway. ”

When he was about to leave the house, Leo Lu felt strange. The four of them actually put on padded jackets or down jackets at the same time. However, as soon as he went out, Leo Lu understood.

The outside world has completely changed, as if it had been swept away by a snowstorm overnight, and everything has become white, and whether it is the trees on the side of the street or the red triangular hats on people's heads, everything hints at the present time.

"Wow, yes, Christmas is good again!"

Xiaoxia rushed out, happily spinning in the falling snowflakes.

"Hey, what a child. ”

Xiao Gang waited for everyone to go out and locked the door.

'No wonder these people put on this kind of thing for themselves early in the morning, it's already Christmas......

Because I've been in the forest before, I haven't had much chance to run to Ikki's house, so I forgot about the festival, and I didn't have a chance to see snow, because since I came to this world, I haven't really seen natural snow except for the snow made by the elves.

As he spoke, Leo Lu began to tremble.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot that you're afraid of the cold!"

Because he felt the cold, Leo's footsteps slowed down, and Kazuki noticed that Leo was gone, and when he turned his head, he noticed something strange.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Gang and the others saw that Yihui actually turned around and ran back, and saw Leo Lu, who was moving slowly, and they also followed together.

"Leo Lu feels cold, is there anything I can do?"

Yihui took Leolu in his arms and looked at the elven expert - Xiao Gang for help.

"Hmm...... I don't have much to do, so let's hurry up and go to the city center, it should be better. ”

Kazuki looked at the shivering blue figure curled up in his arms, bent down, and used his body to resist the cold wind that blew from time to time, and Pikachu also climbed up along Kazuki's trouser leg, leaning against Leo Lu to warm him.

Even in his previous life, Leo Lu was super afraid of the cold, and basically didn't go swimming or anything, so he didn't know how to swim until now, and he could only stay at home in winter, or wear bloated clothes. But now, he has nothing on him, so it's no wonder that he is cold like this.

Hualan City is bigger than expected, and the shopping area in the city center is mixed with all kinds of tourists and elves who have been dressed up as mascots.

Fortunately, the city center is surrounded by high-rise buildings, the wind can't blow in, and the heating equipment is available in every store, so the city center is still much warmer than other places.

Leolu motioned for Kazuki to put him down. If he really let this child hold him like a child, he would definitely die of shame.

I don't know if it's because the technology in this world is too advanced or the staff is working too hard, Hualan City was covered with colorful lights and various decorations overnight. On this day, the surrounding shops also put up special signs for Christmas goods.

Ash, Gang and Xia each bought a Santa hat to wear on their heads, and gave one back to Yihui by the way.

"Christmas is about to have a Christmas atmosphere, and the most important thing is for everyone to get together and have fun, isn't it?"

Xiaoxia is worthy of being a girl, and she is more assertive than these three men in terms of shopping, the only thing that gives Leo Lu a headache is that she always wants to wear some strange things on herself, such as: antler headdress, Christmas wreath, and the most unacceptable thing for Leo Lu is that Xiao Xia is now insisting on wearing a pink hairpin on herself.

"Xiaoxia, don't embarrass Leolu, I don't think he likes this very much. ”

The first few times, Kazuki had stood by and watched the excitement, but this time, he could feel that Leo Lu was already a little impatient.

"yes? I think it's going to look good. ”

Xiaoxia silently withdrew her hand and put the hairpin back in its original place.

"My water elves don't have a chance to dress up, so when I see this~ what a cute Leo Road, I can't help it, I'm sorry Leo Road. ”

Xiaoxia mischievously apologizes to Leolu. This is also the first time Leo Lu began to wonder, is he really so likable?

After walking for a while, Ikki proposed to go their separate ways, and of course it was unanimously approved by everyone, so Ikki parted ways with them at the next corner.

Ikki had already been here once yesterday, so this time he was only here to accompany Ash and Leo Road. The things that should be bought were ready yesterday, and it was up to Leo to see if he had anything he wanted.

As he spoke, Leo Lu suddenly stopped, staring at something in the shop next to him.

"Did you find what you wanted? ”

Because Yukino provided a lot of funds, he didn't forget to tell Ikki not to treat Leo Lu badly, plus he liked Leo Lu very much, so if he wanted something, Ikki could give it to him very simply.

Leo Lu shook his head, snapped his gaze ahead, and continued to look at the shops around him.

"Ahhh

As soon as they return to Xiaoxia's house, Yihui and Leo Lu hear Xiaoxia's voice coming from inside.

"Anyway, Xiaoxia, what are you buying so many things?"

It looked like they had just returned, and when Kazuki and Leolu came to the place where the sound came from, a drop of cold sweat immediately hung on their faces.

"Luckily, we just separated, and for the first time I felt like I had made the right decision. ”

"Oluo Road. ”

Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang were holding large and small gift boxes that were much taller than them, because they didn't know where to put them, so they kept holding them, but when they saw the protruding green tendons on their faces, they knew that these things would not be very light.

"Let's leave it alone and go back. ”

As soon as he returned to his room, Ikki jumped on the bed and lay on the bed in a large figure.

"Leolu, would you like to buy you a dress?"

Kazuki felt that it was not a solution for Leolu to be so afraid of the cold, and out of concern, he felt the need to think of a way.

Leo Lu leaned back to the bed and thought about it, but shook his head.

"That's right, if you put clothes on the elves, your movement should be greatly restricted, so forget it......"

In fact, Leo Lu didn't expect Ikki to help, as long as the temperature wasn't too low, he could still hold on.

"That's right!" Ikki suddenly leaned on the side of the bed and looked down at Leo Lu, who didn't know what he was thinking, "Before you woke up in the morning, Xiao Gang said that it seems that he was going to prepare a big meal for us at night...... It's been a long time since we've eaten anything good, so we seem to be lucky. ”

At the mention of eating, Lulili ran out of nowhere, standing on her big blue tail and jumping back and forth towards Leo Road.

"Lili~[Something delicious? I want it too, I want it too!"

Yihui smiled lightly, reached out and touched Lu Lili's body, and the latter showed a very comfortable happy expression.

"This is what Xiaogang taught me, and it seems that I have learned well. ”

Before Leolu could ask the question, Kazuki explained it to him.

"Do you want to try it?"

[No, I'll take a break first]

Leo Lu rolled over to bed, lay down against Kazuki, covered himself with a quilt, and closed his eyes after screaming at Kazuki.

Anyway, there is nothing to do, since Xiao Gang has to prepare "good things" at night, then wait.

"Hey, forget it, Lu Lili, let's go shopping again. ”

"Leigh!"

I don't know where Ikki's spirit came from, obviously he just came back and was going to go again, but judging by the situation in the morning, Leo Lu felt that there should be no need to follow, so he didn't care about it and continued to sleep.

But what he didn't notice was the smile on Ikki's face as he turned the doorknob.

I don't know why, since that match with Wu Neng, I feel like I want to sleep all the time, especially on the first day after that, I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, and it wasn't until today that I finally eliminated that state. If anything, it's most likely the stone.

Leo Lu brought over the small backpack that was on the bedside table - it was his own backpack, Ikki had replaced it for him, the original one was too old, so just yesterday, Ikki specially prepared this for him. He took out the stone from it and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't tell what it was in.

'What are the triggers?'

The change was not of his own making, Leolu knew it well, but no one else came close to it except for himself holding the stone, why?

After all, the Phoenix King is the most mysterious kind of spirit in the legend, which can only be encountered but not sought, and he is not sure that he will be able to find the Phoenix King again.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally chose to give up. Putting the stone back in his backpack, Leo Lu covered himself with the quilt and began to take a nap.

This sleep finally made Leolu feel no longer sleepy, after all, Yihui, who came back later, saw that he was sleeping soundly, so he didn't bother him, so that he slept until about four o'clock in the afternoon.

After getting up, Leo Lu looked at the quartz wall clock hanging on the wall, was stunned, and immediately came to the door and knocked on the door vigorously.

Why knock on the door instead of just walking out? Because he can't turn the doorknob.

Hearing the sound, Ikki immediately put down what he was doing, quickly came to the door of the room and opened the door.

"Ou Lu, Ou Lu Lu, Ou Lu Ou Lu, Ou ~ Lu ~"

Even if you don't have to translate Kazuki, you know that he is complaining that he didn't wake him up in time.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I wanted to call you later, and then Xiaogang asked me for help, and I was so busy that I forgot. ”

Kazuki scratched his head embarrassedly and picked Leolu up.

"Oulu...... Road!"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you don't have to be angry anymore. ”

The two came to the kitchen, Xiao Gang was already very busy, the kitchen was very large, Xiao Gang was very confident to use three pots to fry vegetables, although busy, but Xiao Gang was still at ease, it was a question of whether he could support it all the time.

"Ikki, hurry up and help, help me clean this dish!"

When he saw Ikki come back, he immediately threw the vegetables on the table into the pool not far from Ikki.

"Let's help, the two of us may have to make it late, Leo Lu's cooking skills are also very good, I remember correctly. ”

Even though he had just gotten out of bed to help, Leolu nodded in agreement. He is very confident in cooking, and he hasn't done it for a long time in order to hide it before, so he can take this opportunity to practice.

After Xiao Gang put out the contents of a pot, Leo Lu used the small escalator that he had moved to the right place and took over the next task.

"Ikki...... This is?"

Xiao Gang was a little confused, so he didn't know what he wanted to do, so he had to ask Xiang Yihui.

"Leo Lu can also cook, and it's very good, I guess it can be compared with Xiao Gang. ”

Hearing the praise, Leolu's mood suddenly improved a lot, after all, he could make something that everyone liked, no matter who he was, he would be happy.

"yes, then as an inspirational breeder in the world, I can't lose to an elf, okay, I'm going to do my best!"

Because it was winter, it got dark very early, and it was already dark at about six o'clock.

"Everyone, come out!"

Again, everyone's elves appeared en masse, and then gathered around the table, waiting for the meal to begin.

"Xiao Gang, you don't care...... " Yihui walked out of the kitchen with a plate, followed by Leo Road, and asked with a wry smile at Xiao Gang, who was walking towards him and was about to continue taking things.

"Of course it's fine...... It's weird! As a breeder, I actually lost to an elf in cooking, and I don't have the face to see people!"

Leo Lu shrugged his shoulders, he didn't expect this incident to be such a big blow to Xiao Gang, he knew that it would be better to put some water.

Ash and Xia spent the afternoon retrieving a pine tree about two people tall from outside, firmly planting it in front of the door, and hanging colorful decorations and small lanterns on the tree.

In short, in the evening, it finally has a bit of Christmas meaning.

"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet and listen to me!"

Xiao Gang, as the organizer, did a very good job as the host. Everyone and the elf quickly fell silent, and all turned their eyes to Xiao Gang, who was standing tall.

"Since it's Christmas, there's definitely a traditional rule of gift-giving, so I'll start first!"

I don't know where Xiao Gang got the things from, Xiao Zhi, Xiao Xia, and Ikki got three gift boxes, and what he gave the elves were small hats and candy canes. Although the gift is not expensive, the intention is understandable.

Then everyone also exchanged gifts, everyone was very happy, and this link passed.

"Now that everyone has gifts, let's not sing any Christmas songs next, let's not be polite!"

"Oh!"

It can be seen that Xiao Gang is very attentive, and even the elves eat not elf food that is easy to make, but the same dishes as them.

Even so, there were still disputes, and not long after they first started eating, Lu Lili quarreled with Pikachu, and then knocked over the plate in the process of grabbing the food, and the two elves were also covered with vegetables, which made everyone laugh.

Leo Lu felt a little uncomfortable in such a joyful and warm occasion. He couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was, he just felt tightness in his chest, and he couldn't fit into it in any way.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not looking, he quietly left the restaurant and climbed to the roof.

Although he thought he was careful, he still did not escape the gaze of a pair of eyes.

A thick layer of snow had been piled up on the roof of the building, and the paws stepped on the snow, leaving a string of small paw prints.

Although the weather outside was not as good as in the morning, it was still very cold, and there were bursts of white mist coming out of my mouth when I breathed.

Leo Lu found a piece of eaves with relatively little snow and sat down, looking at the humans and elves who were having snowball fights and building snowmen in the distance, and his heart was infinitely melancholy.

'It's snowing again......

Although the word "again" was used, it was the first snow I had seen in three years, and it was so big.

"Why did you come here alone?"

Ikki pushed open the skylight and jumped onto the roof with a kick of his feet.

The roof is railed, so Leo Road doesn't have to worry about Ikki falling down.

Leolu didn't look at him, but just wrote two words with his paws on the snow beside him.

[It's okay]

He came to Leolu's side, cleared the thick snow, and sat down, looking at him with a curious face, wondering what he was thinking, but he couldn't see anything.

Leolu sighed, and just as he wanted to write something, a gust of wind blew, and he subconsciously hugged his body with his paws.

"Is it cold?" asked Kazuki, a little worried.

Leo Lu shook his head and told him not to worry, but the tail was dishonest and surrounded himself.

"If you're afraid of the cold, go in and be careful of catching a cold. ”

He shook his head again.

Kazuki moved to his side again, and put a plush hat made of the wool of the baa sheep on Leolu's head.

"Maybe it would be better. ”

Leolu tugged at Ikki's big smile that melted the ice and snow, pulling his hat down, not looking away from Ikki's expression.

"That...... I haven't thanked you properly in the previous gym competition, you really can't go for me to be so badly injured. ”

Leolu didn't really care about what happened before, after all, it was Wu Neng who made the deception first, although it was resolved satisfactorily in the end, which is the best thing.

Seeing that Leo Lu was reluctant to chat, Ikki didn't say anything anymore, wrapped his arms around his knees, and looked at the people in the distance with Leo Lu.

"Oh, by the way, there's something for you, wait a minute. ”

Ikki suddenly remembered something, told Leo Lu, and returned to the house, and soon took a blue and white striped gift box, put it next to Leo Lu, and handed him the illustrated book.

[What is this?]

"A Christmas gift for you, I hope you will like it. ”

Carefully pulling apart the ribbon as a decoration with his paws, Leo Lu slowly opened the lid.

"Do you like it?"

Inside the box is a scarf, gray, and the style is also very ordinary, the only difference is that there is a metal oval object in the middle of the scarf.

Leo Lu picked up the scarf, took a serious look at it, and looked at Ikki again.

[For me?]

"Well, so you can be less afraid of the cold. ”

[Thank you.] 】

This scarf wasn't bought on a whim. At that time, it was this scarf that attracted Leo Lu's attention, so he decided to buy it and give it to Leo Road.

Leolu expertly wrapped his scarf around his neck and nodded towards Kazuki.

Thinking of his previous life, he was also wearing a scarf all the time, and it was also dark gray, almost exactly the same as the current one, but the person who gave it was different.

The first to give him a scarf was a girl, and Kazuki was the second. That girl's appearance is not overwhelming, but it is also a rare beauty.

Their meeting was just a passing stranger, and they didn't leave any impression on each other, but who can say clearly about fate? And that scarf had been received in the winter of the same year, which happened to be Christmas, and he would never forget the way she had been when she blushed and shouted her name, and even now he would have thought it funny. But at that time, he didn't have anything to repay her, so he could only silently note it in his heart, preparing to find an opportunity to surprise her again in the future. It's a pity that this incident can only become his lifelong regret.

[Thank you, it's much better]

Leo Lu tugged at his scarf, although it was only around his neck, but it really didn't feel so cold, the only downside was that it was a little longer, and when he stood up, he was almost dragged to the ground.

'Even this is so similar......

The scarf that the girl gave seemed to be a little long, too.

"Great, I thought you didn't like it!" "Ikki seemed to be relieved to finally breathe a sigh of relief as he lay on the roof behind him and pressed the snow into a hole as big as his, "I'm still nervous what to do if you don't like it, thank Xiaoxia for it, after all, she helped put this little box on."

Leo Lu touched the metal object directly in front of his neck, not knowing how to open it.

"I'll help you. ”

Kazuki stretched out his hands and with some difficulty opened the clasp of the small box, and then put the Leo Road stone in his pocket. It's not custom-made, but the size of the box is just enough to fit the stones, neither too big nor too small.

After Ikki dealt with it, Leo Lu slapped the snow off his body, his two paws slightly forced, and his body trembled slightly irregularly.

"Alright, I think we'd better go in, we'll catch a cold if we stay here all the time. ”

Leolu lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, then nodded vigorously.

"European ...... Oulu!"

Back at the restaurant, where everyone was waiting for the two to arrive, Pikachu rushed over and grabbed Leolu's paws and pulled him onto the couch with a bouncing motion. Leolu just smiled.

It had been a long time since he had been in such a mood, and Leolu felt that today must be a day that he could remember for the rest of his life.

……

Like that day......

――――――――――――――――――――

Merry Christmas everybody!!!
