"Yes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThen I'll see how you behave, little adult! ”

Sixteen Nights turned his face and smiled lightly again. Although Ren didn't like the title, he didn't speak, knowing that it was pointless to refute. He knew that Sixteen Nights was not like himself who had always relied only on the Black Rabbit, and this new companion was more able to contribute to the guild.

(1st Bestowal Contest...... I must work hard)

Looking down at the full moon reflected on the water, Jen said to himself.

……

When I arrived at the headquarters, it was nearly midnight. The building in the moonlight is as huge as a hotel. Yao looked up at the headquarters and sighed

"It's big from a distance...... I didn't expect it to be even bigger up close. Which room should I stay in? ”

"According to the tradition of the guild, those who can participate in the Gift Contest will be ranked, and the strongest will live at the top...... Now, though, it's okay to just stay where you like. It's too high to live, and it's not convenient to move. ”

"Yes. What's the annex up there? ”

Asuka asked, pointing to the house next to the headquarters.

"There, that's where the kids live. Originally, it was used for other purposes, but now everyone lives here because of the security issue. If Asuka thinks it's appropriate to live with a hundred and twenty children......"

"No need."

Asuka immediately refused. Although I don't hate children, I have to face one hundred and twenty, so forget it.

Regardless of the problems related to the box garden and the guild, several people strongly demanded that "I want to take a bath no matter what I want now", and the helpless Black Rabbit had to start preparing for the bath.

As soon as he walked into the large communal bath, which had not been used in a while, the black rabbit immediately shouted, "Please wait for me for thirty minutes!" It'll be clean in no time! So I started cleaning.

It seems that the scene inside must be quite miserable.

Several people roughly searched the room and gathered in the VIP room where the guests were received.

"Miss......... Can't I go without taking a shower?'

"No, no. Sanmao cats should also be washed well. ”

"Huh? I've heard about it, but you really understand cat talk. ”

"Hmm."

"Stinky boy, dare to call you Miss! If you dare to make an inch, the old man is going to grab the hairballs out of your bed!"

"You can't say that."

Yao reacted to the meow of a cat that was just a meow in the ears of others. This scene does seem a bit infiltrating to outsiders. Asuka asked, with some embarrassment

"That might be an exaggeration. Miss Kasugabe you...... Don't have friends? ”

"I have a lot of friends. But there's no one......"

This replied with a refusal to ask again, so Asuka had to stop asking.

"Actually, I can understand it." Bai Chen, who was paralyzed on the sofa, suddenly said.

"You can understand it too?!"

Is there anything surprising about it, I know more than hundreds of millions of languages~ Otherwise, how to communicate with others on the go. ”

"Count, hundreds of millions?!"

"Come, I'll tell you a griffon language."

Then Bai Chen shouted while slumped on the sofa

"Roar...... Roar...... Roar! Roar! ”

"Huh? What does that mean? ”

Yao then answered Sixteen Nights' questions

"Just now Bai Chen said, 'It's an idiot to go back to the sixteenth night.' ”

Then Bai Chen said to Yao dissatisfiedly, "Don't say it." ”

The corners of Sixteen Night's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Bai Chen, "Where did I provoke you again." ”

"No, it's just that I'm happy ~"

Just as Sixteen Nights and Bai Chen were about to start hurting each other, the black rabbit ran over panting

"Baths, baths are ready! Ladies please! ”

"Thank you. Then we'll go in first, Sixteen Nights, Bai Chenjun. ”

"I'm a man who likes a second wave of baths, no problem."

"I don't care."

The three women went straight to the large communal bath. On the sixteenth night of staying, he sat in the VIP room for a while and said to Bai Chen

"Alright—let's make it clear to the guys out there now."

"Go, go, I'll continue to paralyze here."

However, after leaving on the sixteenth night, Bai Chen gradually disappeared in the same place.

……

The three girls who washed their bodies in the large communal bath and soaked their whole bodies in the bath gradually relaxed their nervous mood. The ceiling of the large communal bath seems to be the same as the canopy of Hakoniwa, and you can see the stars in the night sky.

Looking at the night sky, recalling today's long day, the black rabbit raised his arms and stretched his waist.

"It's been a long day. I didn't expect it to be so hard to summon new companions. ”

"Is this a resentment against us?"

"Never, absolutely not!"

The black rabbit hurriedly waved his hand to deny, and the water was rattled by her. Yao, who was soaking in the side with a comfortable face, sighed

"This water...... With the scent of the forest, it makes people feel so calm. It would be nice if the three-haired cat came too. ”

"Yes. The water gushes out directly from the water tree, and I think the three-haired cat will like it too. This is pure water, so even if you drink it directly, you can do it. ”

"Hmm. That's right...... Can the black rabbit also understand the words of the three-haired cat? ”

"YES, according to the characteristics of 'referee authority', unless it is a rather special race, the black rabbit can communicate, but if what Bai Chen said is true, the black rabbit can't compare to him, I really don't know how he learned that."

"Really?" Yao replied.

However, I think she seems a little happy, it shouldn't be my own delusion.

Asuka straightened his long, shiny hair, and reveled in his way

"I like this bath, it's a bit like a hot spring~"

As she spoke, she stretched out her right arm and lightly sprinkled water on it with her left hand. It gives you the illusion that your skin is beautiful just by doing so.

"The tree that gives birth to water...... Can this also be called a 'gift'? ”

"Yes." Gifts' can take on various forms and exert power in life through boarding. This water tree is a gift formed by the 'High Lingge Spirit Tree' and the 'Grace of the Water God'. If it is lodged on a living being, it will appear as a gift that can manipulate water. ”

"Manipulate the water? Doesn't it produce water? ”

"It's not impossible, but it's hard to produce clean water like a water tree. Moreover, water trees do not create water out of nothing, to be precise, they are the water released by the leaves after absorbing the increase in water from the atmosphere. If you want to create something completely out of nothing, you must have the ability of Lord Hakuyasha and the dragon, and Bai Chenjun should be able to do it. ”

"Yes......" Asuka said disappointedly.

Looking at the stars in the sky, she suddenly remembered something and asked

"Dragon's...... That can also be obtained through the Gift Contest? What does a race against dragons look like? ”

"I don't know. The Black Rabbit had already adorned the pedestal when he joined the Community. ”

"It's a pity. I'd like to use it as a reference for tomorrow's Gift Tournament. ”

The black rabbit, who thought that Asuka was nothing but white and worried, smiled

"How is that possible! 【OresGaro】It's impossible to prepare for such a huge race. Since it's about the survival of the community, I think they should make a fuss about the 'power' they are good at, and you must be okay with Asuka. Unless it's a fairly lucky game, there's no need to worry at all. ”

Asuka's expression suddenly became unhappy, and he asked

"And a game of luck?"

“YES！ The Gift Contest is also gambling. So there are a lot of games that are purely about 'luck'. The more representative one is to use the gift of the dice to play the game! ”

"This—That's it......"

Asuka's expression became complicated. Since it was a game that was about the survival of the community, she didn't want the other party to leave it to luck. Because that kind of duel is so boring.

"Gift Race...... ? Personally, I think it's okay as long as it's interesting. But when I think there is a community, I can't come nonsense. What does Miss Kasugabe think? ”

Asuka turns the conversation to Yao. Yao, who completely enjoyed the pleasure of bathing, was slightly stunned and said

"I think it's good if I can win. We are happy to win, and the community is also happy. Kill two birds with one stone~"

"Yao is right! Enjoying the competition is a condition for first-class participants. ”

"It's great that you can say that."

Asuka is still worried about accepting the match with [OresGaro] for free. She felt that it was a game that was destined to be won, and that it would be nice to "bet on all the money".

The black rabbit, who was thinking about changing the subject, approached the two people

"Yes, yes, two. We're all naked, if you don't mind, can you tell Black Rabbit about yourself? It's like an interest, a hometown, or something. ”

"Ah, what are you asking all this for?"

"Out of the Black Rabbit's curiosity, of course! Black Rabbit, who has been looking forward to having girls join, is full of interest in the two of you~"

The black rabbit said with a happy smile on his face. Although she didn't have a deep meaning, the two of them were not very interested in it. In any case, the letter that summoned them here reads, "Leave behind your family, friends, and possessions, and come to Hakoiwa with all that is in the world."

And to look back on everything I left behind, it's really reluctant.

"But too. Since we want to live together in the future. Let's talk about it to the extent that it doesn't affect the mood. ”

"I don't really want to say it, but I want to ask questions. I'm interested in Black Rabbit. The hair is pink, so it's so good-looking. ”

"Oops, is the black rabbit good-looking?"

"Even so, I have a concern. So, how about even the exchange? ”

The three girls chatted happily in the bath.

……

It is 3,000 meters underground in the center of Hakoiwa.

Bai Chen appeared in front of a gate that was half black and half white, and in the middle of the closed door hung a huge lock, and in the center of the lock there was no keyhole, only silver liquid unknown metal kept changing shape. Directly above the gate is carved a special pattern, and the average person can only see that the Arabic numeral "0" is written on the upper right side of this pattern.

Bai Chen looked at this pattern, and then slowly condensed a completely different pattern from the pattern on the gate in the center of the palm of his right hand, only there was an Arabic numeral "19" at the bottom left.

Bai Chen stood in front of the door for a while, and then slowly dispersed the pattern on his palm, and sighed

"If you don't have enough time, go back first, and come back tomorrow."
