"Okay, I promised. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" A bright smile appeared on Bai Chen's face.

……

After a few minutes, Sixteen Nights had never felt so badly beaten by the two smiling faces in front of them.

"Hey! I mean, you've had enough laughing! ”

Sixteen Nights couldn't stand the smiling eyes of everyone around him anymore and shouted

"It's time to get down to business!"

"Ahem, I'll re-register now and ask you again. Face the 'Demon King of the White Night' - the star spirit of the sun and the white night, the White Yaksha. What do you want to 'challenge' the trials? Or is it a 'duel' with my reciprocal counterpart? ”

Restored the serious demon king Hakuyasha. This exuded an unexpected momentum from the girl's smile, which once again made the breath of the three people except Bai Chen stagnate.

"Star spirit" refers to the main spirit that exists on a planet above the planetary level. The most advanced race in the concept of goblins, ghosts, demons, etc., is also the "giver" of gifts.

Sixteen Nights felt a pleasant cold sweat on his back, and looked at Hakuyasha and smiled

"Horizontally running the sun......... Yes, White Nights and Yakshas. That horizontally running sun and this land, you made it? ”

"Not bad. This white night lake with snowy fields. The sun that illuminates the eternal world is one of the playgrounds I have! ”

White Yaksha opened his arms, and the sea of clouds on the other side of the horizon instantly cracked, revealing a trace of the sun.

The star spirit of the "White Night". The white night mentioned on the 16th night is a phenomenon that can be seen in Finland, Norway and other Nordic countries in a specific dimension, and the sun does not set.

"Yaksha" is a god of water and the earth, and at the same time, he is also a ghost god with a fierce side.

In the box garden where many Shura gods and demons gather, the "Star Spirit" is the "god" who claims to be the strongest race.

And the white yasha in front of him at this moment can be said to be enough to represent the box court - the powerful "demon king".

"Such a huge land, just a playground ......!?"

This is completely different from the memory image that Bai Chen showed them before, although I don't know if it is the high level of the game field made by Bai Yasha or the high level of the memory image displayed by Bai Chen, but it does not prevent them from knowing the power of Bai Yasha from it.

"Not bad. Okay, what's your answer? If it's a 'challenge', I'll be merciful to you. ――But if you want to "duel", that's a matter of two words. As a demon king, I will risk my life and dignity to fight you! ”

After speaking, Bai Yasha did not look at Sixteen Nights and the others, but looked at Bai Chen solemnly. Although she didn't know Bai Chen's true strength like Sixteen Nights and the others, she knew that if she fought, she would definitely not be Bai Chen's opponent, which was a hint from her physical instinct.

"I won't participate, is there any benefit, and it's very troublesome to fight or something, I'm too lazy to do it. If someone else chooses a trial, I'll probably see how it goes. ”

Hearing Bai Chen's refusal, Bai Yasha subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Sixteen Nights and the others.

“…………”

Asuka and Yao, even the arrogant Sixteen Nights, hesitated to answer immediately.

They don't know what gifts the White Yaksha possesses. But there is no hope of winning, which is already obvious. However, this is self-provoking, and canceling in such a situation will hurt self-esteem.

"Yes. You win. I surrender, White Yasha. ”

"Huh? So it's not a duel, it's a trial? ”

"yes. After all, you can prepare for such a competition and have this qualification. - Okay, I'll let you test it honestly this time. His Majesty the Demon King. ”

Sixteen Nights smiled bitterly and threw out this sentence. For him, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, this should be the maximum concession. However, the rather cute and reckless way of "letting you try it out" made Hakuyasha laugh.

Hakuyasha, who wanted to laugh for a while, held back a laugh and asked the other two

"Heh, hehahaha............ So, is it the same for other children? ”

“…… Well. I'll let you try it out......"

"Ditto."

The two also replied helplessly with reluctance. Hayasha laughed with considerable satisfaction.

The black rabbit, who had been watching everything in front of him uneasily, finally let go of his hanging heart at this time.

"Really, really! Both of you have chosen your opponents! Novices who challenge the 'class rulers', and 'class rulers' who accept the novices' provocations, are too scary even if they are joking! And Lady Hakuyasha is the Demon King, isn't it thousands of years ago!! ”

"What? So she's the original Demon King? ”

"Well, guess what?"

White Yaksha laughed mischievously. And Black Rabbit and Sixteen Nights and the others sank their shoulders in disappointment.

At this moment, a sharp cry was heard from the mountains far away. Kasugabe Yao immediately reacted to the call of this non-beast and non-bird.

"What kind of animal is this? It's the first time I've heard it. ”

"Hmm...... That guy. Maybe it could be used to put the three of you to the test. ”

White Yasha beckoned to the mountains on the other side of the lake. A huge beast five meters in length spread its wings and glided like the wind in front of the four.

Seeing this beast with vulture wings and a lion body, Kasugabe Yao immediately cried out in surprise.

"Griffon...... Liar, does it really exist!? ”

"Hehe, of course it's true, this is a box garden, and there is almost nothing that doesn't exist. That's right, it's the king of birds and beasts. With 'strength', 'wisdom', and 'courage', it can be said to be a beast that represents the gift race! ”

"Well, among the animals I've eaten, griffins can already rank in the top 10,000!" Bai Chen's eyes stared at the gliding griffin, and said seriously.

Suddenly, Yao, the three-haired cat beside Zhan Yao, and the griffin who heard this were shocked, and the others also looked at Bai Chen with twitches at the corners of their mouths.

Then Hayasha beckoned, and the griffin landed beside her, bowing her head deeply in respect.

"Then, this trial will be set for the three of you to compete with this griffin in any of 'strength', 'wisdom', and 'courage'. If you can sit on its back and fly to the lake, it will be good to pass. ”

Hakuyasha said, taking out the card with the coat of arms of the two goddesses. As a result, shiny parchment appeared in the air, which only appeared for those who had "host rights". She swiped her snow-white fingers across the paper, and the following statement appeared on it

"Gift Contest Name "Griffon's Reins"

"I'm coming! I got it! ”

As soon as he finished reading it, Yao immediately brushed it and raised his hand high. Her eyes were envious on the griffin. This is a rare enthusiastic gaze for her, who is usually calm.

"Miss, Miss...... No problem? It's much bigger and more terrifying than the lion!'

"Don't worry, no problem."

"Hmm. Looks confident. It's hard to deal with, huh? If you fail, you won't just be seriously injured~"

"It's okay, no problem."

Dazzling eyes stared straight at the griffon. It shines as if you have found a treasure that you have been looking for. Seeing her like this, Sixteen Nights and Asuka smiled helplessly.

"OK, I'll give you the first battle. Don't fail! ”

"Be careful, Kasukabe."

"Remember to bring a few pieces of griffin meat after completing the trial~"

"Hmm. I'll do my best! ”

Yao nodded and ignored Bai Chen's words and ran directly towards the griffin. But the griffin flapped its huge wings and left the ground.

This should be because it doesn't want to affect the White Yaksha in the battle.

Kasukabe chased after her, flashing at the giant eye, spreading her wings to intimidate her griffon. Stop a few meters from the griffin and take a closer look at it.

（…… It's amazing. It's really a vulture-headed sphin.)

Vultures and lions. The king of birds and beasts. Although Yao can communicate with the hearts of many animals, those live on Earth after all.

It was also the first time that she had directly confronted the unicorn and the phantom beast with a far different ecosystem from the Great Snake that the Black Rabbit and the Black Rabbit had encountered in the "end of the world". Yao, be careful first

"That's the first meeting. I'm Yao Kasugabe. ”

『！？』

The griffon's giant body shook. The vigilance gradually dissipated in its eyes, and a slightly confused look appeared. This is proof that her gifts are also effective for phantom beasts.

"Oh...... Can this girl talk to the griffin? ”

Hayasha snapped his fan with interest. There are usually only two ways to sit on the back of the king of land and air, the griffin.

First, it is better to win than strength and wisdom. Bring it to its knees and ride it on.

The second is to let it recognize its own heart. Gain the recognition of being a king, proud of it, and sit on it.

However, no matter which method Kasugabe intends to choose, as long as there is a dialogue, it may be possible to negotiate on its own terms. Kasugabe Yao took a big breath and said in one breath

"Let me sit on your back first...... Bet on the dignity of the game? ”

『…… What!?'

The griffon's voice and eyes were full of fighting spirit. For the arrogant one, "gambling on dignity" is the most effective provocation. Kasugabe didn't wait for it to answer, and continued to negotiate

"It starts from the mountain range you flew from, starts from the horizon of the white night, circles clockwise, and ends at this lakeside. You have strong wings and limbs that can run through the air, and if you throw me down before you reach the lake, you'll win. And as long as I sit on your back all the time, I win. …… What do you think? ”

Yao asked, tilting his head.

Hayasha said: Indeed, such conditions can test her strength and courage at the same time. The griffin let out a terrible sigh and asked haughtily

"Little girl. You said you were going to "bet on dignity" with me. As you said, if I can't even shake off a little girl, my dignity will be gone. - But, little girl. What are you going to bet on my dignity?'

"Bet my life!"
