Chapter Twenty-Six: The Thief of the Crepe

After last night's all-night party, the gang hasn't woken up until the sun is already high in the sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Leo Lu followed Yukino's orders, so he didn't let Ikki and Xiaogang play too late, so only the two of them were awake now.

"I think it's better not to wake them up. ”

Leolu nodded in agreement.

"Since Xiaogang doesn't make breakfast, how can the problem be solved?"

"Sure enough, let's go out to eat, the crepe was good last time, let's go there!"

[Do you know the way?]

Yihui picked up his backpack and looked at Leo Road and said, "I'm not so confused yet, let's go quickly!"

Leo Lu shrugged, acquiescing. After all, no one will refuse something delicious.

――――――――――――――――――――

"It's right to be here, why haven't we had such delicious crepes before! If it weren't for the time, I would have liked to stay here for a few more days." ”

He's a kid too, and the crepe flavor he ordered is filled with cream and fruit crumbs, and although Leo Lu hadn't eaten a crepe before, the taste was immediately clear from Ikki's expression. When they were in their house before, Leolu had never seen Ikki with such a happy expression.

"Yo, little friend, you little elf looks so cute. Auntie, I'm on a discount today, so I'll give you one more!"

The person who spoke was the proprietress of the shop, who was not tall, chubby, wearing a cotton jacket with a strip of cloth tied on her head to protect her hair, and even in the morning, she would sweat because of too many customers.

"Really! Thank you!"

"You're welcome children, look at your appearance, you should also be a tourist, we welcome you in Hualan City, remember to go to see the water show in Hualan City, that's the signboard of our Hualan City!"

The proprietress handed the freshly baked crepes to Yihui and enthusiastically introduced the characteristics of Hualan City to Yihui, but before she could say a word, she was called away by the guests who came one after another.

Ikki leaned back on the stool, looked at Leo Lu and said, "You really don't want to?"

Leolu shook his head.

He doesn't hate sweets, but he really doesn't have the habit of eating sweets for breakfast in the morning, so when Ikki wants to buy them for him, he refuses. But it tastes really good, and it's no wonder that Ikki would say such a thing.

"Wait a minute, do you want to go to the Hualan City Gym to see it, it's the first time I've seen a show. It starts tomorrow, but it should be fine just from the outside. ”

Leo Lu took out the fruit that Ikki had brought back from his backpack and chewed it nonchalantly.

Now the snow has begun to melt, and the ground is wet, but fortunately, the road to the gym is not long, not to mention that I will go tomorrow, so let's go with him.

"Wow, a

Just as he was about to get up, the proprietress screamed in horror and resounded in the crowd.

"What's going on?"

Leo Lu and Kazuki hurriedly brought their backpacks to the proprietress side.

"Oops, an elf just stole the whole thirty crepes I had just made. Call the police. ”

Ikki looked around, and there was already a good Samaritan who had picked up his pocket phone and reported it to the police station.

"Where did the elf go?"

"...... over there"

The proprietress pointed to the path behind the shop.

"Don't worry, we're here to help, too. Leolu, it's up to you!"

‘…… Did he really use me like a cutty dog? ’

Leo Lu closed his eyes, and the topographical map of the neighborhood gradually came to his mind.

"What is that elf of yours doing, it looks weird. ”

Kazuki scratched his head: "It's not easy to say...... Well...... It's like the smell of a cutty dog......"

‘……’

Leo Lu spotted an elven waveguide in the alley, beckoned his claws to Ikki to follow, and immediately rushed in.

――――――――――――――――――――

"Leolu, where the hell is that elf? I'm dying of exhaustion......

"Oulu ......"

"Huh, I'm going to run back again......"

"Oulu!"

The two of them had been around the neighborhood for a long time, not because the road was too complicated and they got lost, but because of the elf.

Leolu was also a little impatient, the elf seemed to be aware of their presence, constantly changing positions, even using teleportation, and each time it was far away, as if it was playing tricks on them.

[Let's go separately, you go over there]

Leo Lu didn't wait for Ikki to react, and ran into another alley at a faster pace.

"Hey, I can't run......"

Leo Lu would not notice anything else at all as long as he was serious, and Ikki knew this.

"Anyway, let's get some rest. So saying, he found a staircase and sat down beside it.

Leo Road, who had rushed into the alley, was running at full speed. Since the opponent can teleport, it is very likely that it is an elf belonging to the super energy system.

"Tsk!" Leolu said to himself. It seems to be a bit disadvantageous in terms of attributes.

I wonder if the elf has lost interest or has run out of energy, it has been in place for a long time and has not moved, or has it let its guard down because it thought Leolu and Ikki had lost it?

The former is a bit more likely. Those who can steal under the noses of so many people must have good strength.

If it's a super system, maybe there's a chance to defeat it, so that Ikki can take it in and study the so-called super system. ’

Fifty meters...... Thirty meters...... The distance between them is constantly decreasing.

The light gradually brightened, and Leo Lu followed the direction from which the waveguide came to a small courtyard.

'It's right here......

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, the elf disappeared in an instant, and this time it wasn't teleporting.

'Where have you gone!'

Super elves are rare, and their number may be about the same as the existing Leolu, all of which are endangered species, but why do such rare elves appear in such a place?

Leolu crouched down where the elf had just stood, closed his eyes and pressed his claws to the ground, trying to find traces of the remaining waveguides.

The waveguide clearly reflected the path it had just taken, and Leo Lu slowly groped his way through the footprints.

'How...... What's going on!'

The footprints only stretched out less than ten meters before they suddenly broke off.

'Will it still fly?'

If that's the case, then there's really nothing he can do.

Suddenly, Leolu sensed something unusual.

"I didn't expect to meet a spirit of Sinnoh in the Guandu area, and it's a Leo Road, it's a real headache......" A young woman's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Leo Lu quickly stood up, but before he could look behind him, he suddenly realized that he couldn't move his body.

'Psychic power?'

The voice continued: "Don't continue to be entangled, we just don't have money for the time being, and we will pay it back to the boss lady in a few days, so please don't chase it." ”

"Oulu![Who are you?]"

"I'm not human, I'm an elf like you. ”

"Ou?[Electrocardiogram!]"

"That's smart, you know this. No, no, now is not the time to praise others, can you stop chasing after it, count me on you. ”

The elf actually spoke in a pleading tone.

"Oulu Road...... Oulu. [Are you really going to pay it back?]"

Leolu heard the elf sigh and then smell a tempting scent.

"Of course it's true, you're very similar to someone I know, all in such a serious tone...... But it's just not annoying. ”

Leolu saw a pair of small white hands around him.

"Oulu![What are you doing!]"

Suddenly being hugged by an elf who didn't know what kind of elf it was, and listening to the voice was still a woman, Leo Lu was really a little overwhelmed.

"It's nothing, don't be so stingy. It's just a feeling...... You're so much like him. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

"Leolu, where are you?"

Ikki rested for a while and set off to look for Leo Road, the alley is so big, it is still difficult to find an elf.

"In that case, believe in the sixth sense......! This way!"

Choosing one of the three forks in front of him, Kazuki walked in.

But unexpectedly, he really went on the right track.

"Leo Road!"

Yihui walked out of the alley, suddenly shone in the sun from a dark place, subconsciously raised his hand to cover the sun, and then casually skimmed it, and saw Leo Road leaning against the corner of the wall.

He hurriedly ran over.

"What's wrong with you, wake up, Leolu!"

Shaken vigorously by Ikki, Leo Lu slowly opened his eyes, sorted out his memories a little, and then jumped up violently, startled by Ikki.

'That guy...... You're still using hypnotism on me!'

Leo Lu finally realized the power and convenience of the super energy system.

However, in the woods north of Hualan City, an unknown elf was covering its mouth and snickering.
