"Demon King Mecha"

A battle puppet that appeared in Hakowa a long time ago. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info has a high sense of battle and a wealth of combat experience.

This was the main combat force created by the strongest community at the time, the Divine Era, to participate in the Gift Game.

When the [Age of the Gods] was called the strongest community, there were no more than ten real humans in the entire community, and all the others were robots made by those few people for various aspects.

The "Demon King Mecha" was created by the [Age of the Gods] to participate in those boon competitions that required battle. And I don't know how those people in the [Divine Era] did it, and they actually let those "Demon King Mechas" all have "host authority", and each of them has at least four digits of the peak strength of the outer gate.

No matter how strong you are, when you face thousands of at least four-digit outer gate peak strength, do not know pain and are not afraid of death, and can sacrifice your own army of robots at any time to complete the task, you have to get a bento. Even if he survives, there is still a community to protect.

What's more, there are combat robots that are stronger than the "Demon King Mecha", and its maker.

Therefore, at that time, there was no community willing to provoke the [Divine Era].

Later, for some reason, the entire community of [Divine Era] disappeared in one day, leaving only its trial under the ground in the center of the box garden, as long as you can complete the trial, you can obtain all the property of [Divine Era].

Countless communities have hoped to win the trial and obtain the wealth in it, and until now there are still communities trying, but those communities can't even open the black and white door that stands at the door of the trial.

Only a small number of people speculated that this was a test set up by the people of the [Divine Era] who left them to come to Hakoin after they came to the box garden.

……

On Perribed Boulevard, which passes through Fountain Square, the birds that finally caught up with the black rabbit protested violently.

"What the hell are you thinking, Black Rabbit! Don't you really mind being that man's possession!? ”

“……”

Asuka hurried behind the black rabbit, grabbed her back angrily, raised her eyebrows, and pressed the invitation to summon the three of them to her chest. Unrepressed, he roared at the content.

"Leave your family, friends, and possessions, and everything in the world to come to Hakoiwa" - you who have drawn us into this letter are only abdicating your responsibilities when you leave the community!"

“…… I, no. ”

"No, you're lying! Just look at what you look like now and I'll understand! You feel in your heart that it doesn't matter if you sell yourself for the sake of your partner! But that's in vain, and we will never allow it! ”

"In vain, in vain......? Why do I have to be so reproached by you! ”

The black rabbit no longer endured and shouted. Whether it was Lucius or Asuka, she no longer understood why she was being blamed by the people around her.

"The most important thing for the community is to be partners. This is above all, the treasure of the community. If we abandon Lord Leticia, who does not hesitate to tear her soul to support the community in distress, we will not have righteousness at all! ”

"But that must not be based on you being replaced! It doesn't make sense at all! ”

"It can't be meaningless to sacrifice for your fellow soldiers!"

"It's so loud in the middle of the night!"

On the sixteenth night of catching up, I gave the two girls a shock in their heads. The two people who were suddenly attacked by him couldn't help but see Venus in front of their eyes.

"I understand what you two are saying. And further, the Black Rabbit. It's you who are wrong. ”

"Why!?"

The black rabbit covering his forehead protested with tears in his eyes. Sixteen Nights said with a cold gaze

"I won't say anything about it. When Leticia came to NoName, she should have been prepared for what would happen. Her gaze seems to beg you? ”

"This, this...... No, because it is sophistry not to save without asking for help! ”

That's right. It depends, though. Laeticia concealed her loss of gifts, didn't she just want you to replace her? ”

Suddenly remembering that the black rabbit was silent at that time.

Laeticia really didn't want to let herself know that she had lost her gift.

In other words, Leticia didn't want Black Rabbit and the others to carry a burden in their hearts.

"Also, Miss, what you said is not true. You have to express your heart more gently. It's like, 'I'm already worried about the dead black rabbit!' Please, stay with me! 'Such. ”

"I—How could I keep her like this!"

But let's say a quarter.

Seeing the birds with red ears, the black rabbit hung his head a little reluctantly.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I'm glad you have in mind, but, that, that's interested in this black rabbit......"

"Is it only in this place that it is misinterpreted? Uh-huh, then I'll accept you stupid bunny! ”

The bird chirped and tugged at the rabbit's ears. The black rabbit screamed miserably.

The two girls may have calmed down a little after a fuss, and at the same time sighed loudly

“……… The worry is real, though. Because, you also look crying. ”

"I—I should apologize. Not calm at all. ”

What to do in the future must be discussed with Ren, Bai Chen, and Yao.

The three people who made this decision rushed to their [NoName].

A crack cracked in the spot, and a "Demon King Mecha" came out of it, looking at their backs on the Sixteenth Night, and Bai Chen's voice came out of it

"Looks like it's okay."

……

Three days later, the Black Rabbit was given a shelf of closure by Ren. Pointing to the black rabbit that fell on the window, he looked melancholy at the box garden city in the rain outside the window.

(Ah, it's time for regular rains.) This is not the south side, and the zenith is not open.)

Artificial rainfall will occur during certain periods. Only at this time, the canopy of the box garden becomes visible, and the rain clouds created by the refraction of light will give the illusion of vision.

In other words, it creates the illusion that rain clouds that do not actually exist "exist" and rain.

…… To put it mildly, this is quite useless advanced technology. If you want water, just open the zenith when it's raining outside, or sprinkle water without any rain clouds. However, the breadth of the mind that allows such a miracle to be used only as a hobby can be said to be very Hakoniwa style.

(Alas, the functions of the box garden are basically designed for entertainment, and if you are serious, you will lose.) ）

Reciting poems about wind and rain is also one of the important entertainments. For the Shura gods and demons who have been invisible to the Heavenly Fortune and Natural Disasters since ancient times, it is of great significance to have no rain clouds.

If a thundercloud is accompanied by a storm, people worship it as an act of a dragon.

However, if it rains, it will only be seen as some magician in a remote place making cheese.

To Hakoniwa City, eight million gods are nothing at all. Because this is a box garden created by gods and demons like stars, it is full of endless inheritances and legends.

(Speaking of which, Laetitia-sama doesn't like rain either.) It's like saying that the smell of blood will rise with the tide and make people uncomfortable or something)

I didn't expect to say that as a vampire. The black rabbit, who recalled the past, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"The door is locked, and there's no one inside."

“…… I guess I can get in. ”

"Probably right?"

This is the voice of Asuka Kugo and Yao Kasugabe. However, it is said that "no one" has made a judgment of "can go in", how to say?

"Ahh

"Hmm...... Really. Do you want to pry it open? ”

The two men outside the door clicked and turned their handles. The Black Rabbit gave up and stood up.

"Okay, I'll open the door! Can't you two be softer and more elegant? ”

"How about just destroying it?"

"Yes?"

"Meow~"

Bang!

"Elegant!"

"Shut up!" ×2 "Meow!"

The black rabbit, who was yelled at by two people and a cat, closed his mouth. The wooden door is really powerless in the face of these three rare problems.

Holding the broken doorknob in one hand, the black rabbit with its rabbit ears sobbed.

The black rabbit with tears in his eyes made tea with the kettle in front of him. In the meantime, Asuka, Yao, and a cat with a pure white coat lying on Yao's head took out a small tray from the cloth bag he had brought and set it up. On top is a handmade sweet.

Go back to three days ago.

Before Sixteen Nights, Asuka, and Black Rabbit return from ThousandEyes, Yao gets bored and goes to Hakushin with Ren to tell him about what happened in other worlds before him.

After arriving at Bai Chen's room, he saw Bai Chen rolled up in the quilt, and then Yao was stunned after lifting the quilt, and when he saw Yao suddenly stunned, Ren also leaned over and glanced at the quilt and was also stunned.

There was no Bai Chen on the bed, only a pure white cat sleeping on the bed with a tired body.

"When did Bai Chen get a cat?"

"I don't think I've ever seen Bai Chen with a cat, and I didn't hear a cat bark when I passed by his room."

"Is it ......?"

"No, it's impossible, right? It must be that I opened it in the wrong way. ”

Yao then dragged Ren out of Bai Chen's room.

Shut the door.

Open the door.

Shut the door.

Open the door.

……

After closing the door several times, the cat was woken up, and then looked at Yao Zai, who closed the door and opened the door, and seemed to understand something, so

"Meow~"

Yao stopped his hand movements when he heard the cry, and then said with a trembling voice

"You say you're Bai Chen?"

"Meow Meow~"

"Because the previous battle was too expensive, it became a cat?"

"Meow, meow~"

"Because this form recovers faster and usually consumes less?"

"Meow!"

"Then you should be able to speak human words, right?"

"Meow Meow Meow ......"

"Just because I can understand animals, I don't bother to speak human?"

Ren, who was watching a man and a cat having a strange conversation over there, finally understood after listening for a while.

It turned out that Bai Chen was too energetic to act in the form of a cat because of the excessive consumption of the battle, and it was faster to recover, so he had to maintain this state during this time, but because there was Yao in the community who could understand the speech of animals, he was too lazy to speak human words, and directly asked Yao to be the translator.

After the three of them returned to the community on the sixteenth night, after understanding the situation, they gloated and handed Bai Chen over to Yaolai to take care of.

Time comes back to the present.

The black rabbit asked, looking at the handmade dim sum in front of him

“…… Did you do this? ”

"It's not. It was made by the children of the community. ”

"The fox-eared girl and the other older kids brought this and said, 'Please, please make peace with Sister Black Rabbit!' ”

The three of them all had indescribably complicated expressions on their faces, and only Bai Chen yawned on Yao's head with a calm face.
