Chapter 3: The End of the World
ββThe location is the outer gate of Box Court 2105380. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Perribed Boulevard, in front of Fountain Square. A few children were playing in front of the steps that connected the outer wall of the box garden to the inner side.
"Ren~Ren~Ren~ Sister Black Rabbit hasn't returned to the box court yet."
"I've been waiting for almost three hours, and I feel so tired."
"Ren~ How long will I have to wait, can we get together first?"
Jen Russell, a young man wearing a fat robe that didn't match his size, said with a wry smile, "...... That's right. Then let's go back first, I'll wait here alone. β
"Jen is very hard, but we have to continue to work hard, then let's go back first, goodbye."
"I can finally go back, I'm so hungry, when can I eat?"
"Don't keep thinking about eating, think more about how to contribute more to the community."
After receiving instructions that they could return to the community, the children began to run happily in the direction of their community.
Waiting for the separation from the boy and girl who were frolicking on the way home, Ren sat on the stone steps alone. He was the only one left and idle, staring blankly at the people passing by the outer door.
"I've heard that the country that has been created outside the box garden has been active recently, but Perribed Avenue is facing the 'end of the world', so it's still very idle......" Hito, who had nothing to do, thought as he sat on the stone steps.
The "country" in the world of Hakoniwa is the common name for the super-giant guild. Although there is a clear "end of the world" in Hakoniwa World, it is said that its surface area is large enough to rival that of a star. Naturally, people will not prevent the vast resources and fertile land from being undeveloped. Talented people gathered to build a country, and many of the untalented people began to leave the urban life of Hakoiwa shrouded in the sky.
The dragon clan, the ghost clan, the phantom clan, the elf clan and other countries have also built large-scale cities outside the box garden. Those who have lost their gifts are also playing in countries not far from Hakoiwa, and are preparing to participate in Hakoniwa's "Gift Competition" again.
"In case it comes from the outside world, it's useless...... I'm afraid we'll have to give up Hakowa and move outside. β
Ren thought silently with the expectation of his new companion. Guilds that don't have the strength can't be the organizers to hold tournaments, or even participate in tournaments and win. Decline to the point where it is impossible to sustain the group. This means one thing, the disappearance of the guild.
Kim's guild is now all younger than Kim's now, except for Black Rabbit, for some reason. And asking them to abandon the land where they were born and grow up and embark on a journey with no end in all cases must be avoided no matter what. Just as Jen was lost in thought, a voice rang out from afar
"Young Master Ren~, I brought the newcomers of the community!"
Kim raised his head sharply at the sound. On the street in front of the outer gate, the black rabbit is walking towards this direction with two girls, and the black rabbit is tying a white transparent silk thread on his hand, and at the other end of the silk thread is a white-haired boy floating in the air with his head resting on his hands in a backward posture.
an hour ago......
"That, Black Rabbit." Bai Chen, who was listening to the black rabbit talk about the knowledge of the box garden, suddenly said.
"What's the matter, are you distracted again?!" The Black Rabbit asked with a puzzled expression.
"That's not it, it's just that I ......," Bai Chen said whimsically,
"My lazy cancer suddenly happened, and now I'm lazy to walk."
"Huh?! Γ3β
"Don't worry, I won't let you carry me, I have my own way, you tie it to your hands first." As he spoke, he took out a thin white transparent thread out of nowhere and tied it to the black rabbit's hand before she could react, and tied it to one of her feet at the other end of the bar.
Time comes back to the present.
"Are these the three companions who have been summoned? One of them can already be sure that it can float, but I don't know how high it can be from the ground and whether it can carry people. Jen thought as he looked at the three people brought by the Black Rabbit.
"Black Rabbit, who are these three ......?" Jen asked the Black Rabbit.
"Okay, these three are ......" Wait, three? The black rabbit stiffened and turned his head back, and his whole body froze with a thud. ββ¦β¦ Uh, huh? And what about one more person? Is that the boy with a vicious gaze, a vicious mouth, and a 'I'm a problem' all over his body? β
"Ahh He just said, 'I'm going to the end of the world!' And he ran out of the way. β
The bird pointed to the cliff that he had just seen from a height of 4,000 meters. The black rabbit, who was standing in the middle of the road and was stunned, heard this, and the rabbit ears stood upside down and asked
"Y-Why don't you stop him!"
"Because he said, 'Don't stop me,' or something."
"Then why don't you tell Black Rabbit!?"
"He said, 'Don't tell the black rabbit.' β
"Liar, absolutely deceitful! You guys just think it's troublesome! β
"That's right! Γ3β
Boom, the black rabbit fell to his knees weakly. Now she is so envious of herself who was looking forward to new talents a few hours ago. I really didn't expect that all the children summoned were such problem children, even if they are annoying, there must be a limit.
"No, no!" At the end of the world, there are phantom beasts released into the wild for the Gift Race! Hearing this, Ren's face turned white and he screamed.
"Phantom beasts?"
"Ahh It is a beast with gifts. In particular, the beasts near the 'end of the world' have powerful gifts. As long as it appears, it is definitely not something that people can deal with. β
"Ahh He's already game over? β
"Now is not the time for jokes!"
Ren tried his best to express the seriousness of the situation, but even so, the three of Asuka only shrugged their shoulders indifferently.
Black Rabbit got up helplessly and sighed
"Huh...... Master Jen. I'm really sorry, could you please lead the way for a few of them? β
"I see. Black Rabbit, what are you going to do? β
"I'm going to get the problem done. Depending on the situation, it will make him understand thoroughly, and he will regret it if he underestimates the rabbit who is praised as the 'Hakuba noble'. β
Angry, the black rabbit who stood up tragically erupted all over his body, and his smooth black hair was dyed a faint crimson. She took a few leaps from the statue by the outer door, and jumped high into the air towards the outer door, level with the pillars of the outer door.
"I'll be back in about half an hour! Let's enjoy the life of Hakowa slowly! β
The black rabbit, whose hair had turned pale crimson, stepped out of the crack in the goalpost. Jumping with all her might, she shot out like a bullet, and disappeared from the sight of the three in the blink of an eye.
Asuka who was holding her hair in the wind that was curled up by her couldn't help but sigh
ββ¦β¦β¦ The rabbit in the box garden is jumping really fast. It's really impressive. β
"The rabbits are the dependents of the founders of the box garden. Needless to say, it is a noble race that not only has many gifts, but also has special permissions. Unless there is a particularly powerful phantom beast, it will be helpless for her......"
"Is that right," Asuka replied casually, turning to the worried Ren, "The black rabbit also said that we should enjoy it, so it is better to be respectful and go to the box garden." Can I ask you to be my bodyguard? β
"Uh, ah, yes. I'm Jen Russell, who is the leader of the guild. It's just a young man who has just turned eleven, so please take care of me. What are the names of the two fangs? As soon as he finished speaking, Ren was stunned for a moment.
"Distant birds. Wait, two? Asuka was also stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"That...... I'm the best at the sun. At this time, Kasuga Yao who was standing on the side opened his mouth and asked a key question, "Did Bai Chen tie the rope on the black rabbit's hand never take it off?" β
Because he hadn't spoken just now, Bai Chen, who had been floating out of everyone's sight and seemed to have no sense of existence, was subconsciously ignored by several people.
ββ¦β¦Γ2β
"Forget it, no matter what, I'll be back in the end anyway. Alright, let's go into the box. First of all, I'd be glad to hear you say whatever you want. β
Asuka took Kim's hand, smiled at first, and walked through the outer door of the box garden.
β¦β¦
"Oh, really! Where the hell did he go!? β
Fifteen minutes have passed since the Black Rabbit began to search for the Reverse Night.
It may not seem far from a height of 4,000 meters, but from the lake where the three of them fell to the "end of the world", it is actually very far away. The road also has to be through the jungle, so it is impossible for first-time visitors to reach it.
"And there are specific gods and demons around here that have set up a playing field. If he is in a hurry, he participates in the game ......! Black Rabbit felt more and more anxious in his heart.
"Actually, it's not that serious~ You actually have to worry about the phantom beast at the 'end of the world'." At this time, Bai Chen, who was floating on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the black rabbit was stunned for a moment.
"Bai Chen, why did you follow me?"
Bai Chen pointed to the thread on the black rabbit's hand. Then the Black Rabbit fell silent.
At this moment, there was a whisper around the forest
ββ¦β¦β¦ It's a bunny! β
"The rabbit is coming."
"The 'Moon Rabbit' has come to this border!"
"That little imp was right."
"Are you going to stop her?"
"Do you want to challenge the competition?"
"Fighting the 'Moon Rabbit'?"
"But what's the challenge?"
"Strength? , wisdom? Or is it courage? β
"Stupid, you can't win any challenge!"
Rabbits are a noble race known as the "Hakoniwa nobility". Not only are the overall numbers scarce, but they rarely appear outside the box garden, so the ghosts and ghosts in the forest are all gathered to catch a glimpse of rabbits that rarely go out.
"Well, O sages of the forest, allow me to take the liberty of asking questions. Do you know who passes by this way? If so, can you show me the way? β
ββ¦β¦Γnβ
After a moment of silence, a voice emerged from the jungle.
"If you don't mind, I'll show you the way, Miss Black Rabbit."
