Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's just say that there is a custom of "mixed bathing" in open-air baths in Japan. As a classic of Japanese RPGs, the Locus series has also added this favorite element.

Open-air baths have always been popular, but there is only one open-air bath at the Phoenix Wing Pavilion, so the bathing time is set at a low time from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

At the time of the first crossing, Rien was still looking forward to the mixed bath. However, in the past nine years, except for the little tail Elyse who occasionally came to him, and took a few mandarin duck baths with Lixia, he has never met other members of the opposite sex, and this thought has faded.

Sometimes fate is so strange, the more you look forward to it, the less it appears, and when you don't look forward to it, you come to the door yourself.

It's like it's not just Dawn who can't sleep tonight, but also Laura and Alyssa. They had arrived at the open-air bath before Riene, and had been soaking for a while.

"Huh?" Laura, who was wiping her cheeks with a bath towel, moved her ears, "Someone seems to be coming?" ”

"Could it be Emma, they can't sleep either?" The room allocation in the women's group is as follows: Sarah has a single room, Tova and Angelica have a room, Laura and Alyssa have a room, and Emma and the two lolias she takes care of have a room, so Alyssa has this question.

The wooden door leading to the bath was opened, and a bath towel was put on his head, and Lai En stood naked on the spot.

"Ah!!h Laura and Alyssa screamed in unison, and shrank into the water with a "swish" twice.

"Ahh Alyssa, Laura! (Here the voice of the inner mountain has become a summer, and the traitor will make up Cecilia and Raula every time.) ）

Alyssa's voice was three times higher than that of Riene: "Ahhhhh Ju, dwell, dwell, actually broke into the women's bathroom. What exactly do you want to do? ”

"Wait, that's not the case!" Lane scrambled to explain.

It's a pity that Laura didn't plan to give him a chance at all, pulling the bath towel with one hand to wrap the vital point, and lifting a wooden stick with the other: "Li En! Stand there and don't move! (The old lady will add a buff to you.) ）

"Law, where did you get such a long stick as long as Laura?" Dawn was powerless to complain. Juvenile. You're completely wrong.

"Don't worry, it won't give you time for pain." Laura uses a stick instead of a sword, making a "broken iron blade" starting hand.

"No, Laura, it's better to make her miserable." Alyssa said as she picked up the tub.

"Alyssa, put down, put down the barrel! Speaking of which, you two, listen to me first! ”

"It's useless to ask questions!"

"Look at the move!"

The wooden stick splits the face, and the bathtub smashes the head!

"Suffer death!"

“H！ Hentai！ ”

"Ah, this is a misunderstanding" was hit hard in the head, and his brain was groggy. Consciousness gradually fogged, "It's time for a mixed bath"

Dawn poured into the bath, splashing countless times. At the last moment of his memory, he seemed to have bumped into something soft - Laura and Alyssa were both facing each other, and Riene pounced on the two girls.

See, the textbook-style harem male protagonist plot is much stronger than the non-mainstream like Luo Ye

Wait until Rien regains consciousness. Alyssa and Laura had already regained their composure, and the former apologized repeatedly: "Yes. I'm sorry! I didn't expect it to be a mixed bath at this time."

Laura was also busy and said, "It's completely negligent." Moreover, I actually hit you in the head with all my might. ”

"I thought I was going to die," Rien let out a long sigh, "Ah, it's not your fault. Usually only I come at this time, so I didn't confirm it properly, so I'm sorry. ”

"Nope. It was an oversight on our side. Laura shook her head and said, "It's a bit strange to say that it's an atonement, you can come in." ”

"Wait, wait, Laura. What are you talking about!!! Alyssa panicked.

"We misunderstood him, and if we don't let him soak again, it's really a bit unpleasant."

"Yes, there is some truth"

It can only be said that the two girls are still too naïve and pure, and they should kick someone out at this time!

"Then you're welcome." Li En turned over, rolled into the bath, and submerged in the bath, leaving only his head out, his eyes half-closed, "Sure enough, you have to soak like this before going to bed to be comfortable." ”

"That's right." Laura followed Lane's movements and half-reclined into the water, "Yomir, what a good place. ”

Alyssa also lay down, "I always felt a sense of nostalgia." ”

Because it's not your first time here, Alyssa.

PS: In the original world line, Blublan, because of his interest in Class VII and Dawn himself, specially ran to Yumir, which triggered the power in the elven stone of the valley road, and caused a change in the snow in October, which ruined the holiday. But now it's different, once the elven power of the elf stone has been absorbed by Xiao Di, and Blublan himself has dealt with Li En several times, so he won't be too persistent.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The arrangement of the second day is also wonderful, Lingfeng to see the sea of clouds, hunting in the mountains, fishing in the valley, although because of the season, can not experience the most popular ski project, but everyone still feels very happy.

In the afternoon, the last free time before the end of the holiday, Lane found Emma.

"Emma, what's the plan after that?"

"Nope."

"Then let's go somewhere with me, just the two of us."

"Just the two of us?"

"I want you to know where my dormant place is."

Emma's eyes flashed: "I know, then let's go now." ”

A place of sleep, a place of sleep that Rien had prepared for himself.

According to the plot of Shem's trajectory, after the first time he rides the god of riding and the god of riding with Chloe to face off against the god of riding, he will fall into a month-long slumber.

There are signs in the game that this slumber is inevitable. This speculation was affirmed by the accomplice Emma.

According to the information of the Witch of the Witch, it takes a huge amount of spiritual power to activate the Rider God for the first time. Spiritual power comes from the soul, and the lack of spiritual power will cause the soul to be exhausted, when the lack reaches a certain level. The soul's self-protection mechanism is activated - that is the cause of slumber.

Although none of the previous starters had been asleep for more than a month, it was because they did not start a battle with another rider as soon as they got on the rider, especially since the opponent was an old driver with three years of driving experience. The consumption of activation plus the consumption of combat uh, how much spiritual power will be missing, can be imagined. Not to mention, the damage taken by the Rider will be reflected on the initiator. Lee, who was beaten all the way by Chloe, was able to recover within a month without starvation. It was still thanks to the Rider God who contributed all the spiritual power he had recovered to him, the initiator, otherwise, he would have been able to sleep for a while.

This time, Dawn made a lot of preparations for a battle with Chloe. But even so, he was not sure that he would be able to close the three-year experience gap and the growth gap between the rider himself. While Lane is confident that he won't be defeated easily, the longer it drags on, the more he will be depleted. Even if he is fused with two souls and has twice as much spiritual power, he may not be able to withstand this large-scale consumption - the key is that he can't escape. At least until the Red Wings arrive. (The Rider is weak at first, but over time, he will awaken a variety of abilities, as if he is growing)

In this way, a secluded and safe sleeping place is indispensable.

Luckily, Lee's hometown is located in the mountains, and he grew up in the mountains, so it was not difficult to find such an unknown place.

After searching through more than a dozen hills near Youmir, Lane found the place he was looking for.

Rope down from the edge of a cliff that could almost be called a ghostly sorrow. There is a natural cave. The entrance of the cave is narrow, allowing only one person to pass through; The interior is spacious. It's about the size of a classroom.

Not far from the cave is a deep pool, the deepest part of which is twenty centimeters, which is perfect as a hiding place for the riding god.

As soon as he found the place he wanted, he found stones, hid the hole, and began to stock up on supplies, some for himself. Some are prepared for companions who may take care of him.

With that done, he began to think about another question. If a person does not move for a long time, the muscles and nerves will atrophy, and although a month is not long, it will still have a certain impact on the body and cultivation. How can the impact be avoided or minimized?

In this regard, Lixia said that it is enough to use internal qi and special techniques to relax the meridians and activate the meridians. But Rien didn't really want to trap Lixia by his side for a month, which would be a great waste of combat power. He was absolutely unwilling to make such a choice unless he had to.

Fortunately, the Liber mutation and the D∴G Order incident gave him another option - black technology life-sustaining equipment.

Through the analysis of Kia's sleeping equipment, or more precisely an artificial womb, coupled with Selesty's technical ability, Li En finally completed the sleep chamber tailored for him. The reason why the original artificial womb was not directly used was because the equipment was tailor-made for Qiya, and Li En was too crowded to get into. (That's right, Ryan and Lixia secretly moved the artificial womb away.) ）

Now, everything is ready, only the day of the flame will come.

Before that, he needed to tell his accomplices all this. Because the initiator and the guide are a community with a shared future, they do not need to guard against each other, and they can be entrusted with all their trust.

"Emma, my guide, this is my preparation for this war of the Riders."

"Thank you for your trust, my initiator. In response to everything you do, I will do my best. Listen, that's what I'm determined to do. ”

What can be done with these hands?

Ask yourself so, but

I don't understand, only worries remain

has been hiding behind him

I'm weak

There must also be things that can be believed in

own practices

It must be fine

Even if it's a small pace

I am determined to take it, too

Mother Earth begins to germinate

A little seed of courage

Bear the fruit of my wishes

Someone can smile because of me

I can change-

certain

Open the door of the heart

What kind of scenery can you see?

I want to face it even if I'm afraid

Idling, falling, and then

If you understand the pain, then accept it

Let's get stronger

respective dreams

It's good to be as big as yourself

These little hands also have something they want to protect

Let's have a tea party

Gentle time is spent together

All hardships and obstacles will disappear

Wave goodbye to me yesterday

Looking at the one who has been reborn--

I

Mother Earth begins to germinate

A little seed of courage

Bear the fruit of my wishes

I am surrounded by a warm smile

Sing what I want to convey

PS: In addition to explaining the content of the performance and Angelica's departure, the most important thing is that Lai is no longer resting on his laurels with the help of his companions, but moving forward bravely - so as to win the middle pass. In this book, it is for the last part of the initiator and guide of the decision. (To be continued.) )
