Chapter 7: The Goddess is missing

"Hey, Lilia, are you listening?"

Lilia, on the other hand, had a gloomy look. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Black, do you want to say that just to test your tricks, you didn't hesitate to hurt yourself with that knife?"

"I'm sorry, because any other obvious trick I can think of will destroy everything around me-"

"Black idiot!"

Black didn't seem to notice Lilia's mood at this point.

After leaving these words, Lilia ran out of the room, and as she ran out of the room, Black seemed to see a cluster of crystal tears she had left behind.

"Ah, I'm really angry."

Seeing Lilia's sad look, Black couldn't help but become depressed.

Black called out the fairy elf.

"Fairy Elf, do you know why Lilia is angry?"

“？？！”

"Do you mean I'm too uncommon-sense? Hehe, that's true. ”

"From time to time, scenes of war come to my mind, and I always have thoughts that are out of step with this world, and I don't blink my eyes when I hurt myself when I know that it hurts to be cut, and I am not surprised at all even if I know that I have acquired abilities that humans can't have, and—"

Kuro looked at his right hand, and the general Z pattern that appeared just now had disappeared, but it seemed that as long as he used the general skill, he could make it appear again.

"I actually absorbed Z crystals that are impossible for humans to absorb, and I am not an ordinary human being."

"Anyway, did I transform people before, or rather, my memories were all written before, or is everything here a dream, like in some novels......

Thinking of this, Hei held his forehead with a dejected look.

"I can't think of anything."

“！！”

The fairy elf rubbed the black leg with the flesh pad of the front foot.

"I'm really a weak person, although I speak beautifully, but without Liliai's words, I can't remember anything, I can't do anything in this world, I can't even think of what to do." Hei smiled bitterly.

"No way." Black jumped off the balcony and went back to his room. "Sleep, I'll go and apologize to Lilia tomorrow morning."

……

So, the next morning.

Black and Dr. Kukuy had breakfast at the restaurant.

"Anyway, Lilia seems to have run out of your room yesterday."

"Was it seen by the Doctor?"

"After all, I told her to go to you, what the hell happened, and it's quite rare for Lilia to be angry."

"I made her angry because of something, and I was about to apologize to her."

"Yes, black is really powerful, Liliai belongs to the type that won't get angry even if she bullies, but will make you blame yourself pitifully, you can actually make her really angry - forget it, let's not mention this matter first, since you made Liliai angry, then she must not have said anything if I asked her to tell you."

"Indeed, she was gone before that."

"Well, I'll just get straight here." The doctor took a sip of his coffee and took a deep breath. "It may not be good for me, Black, do you want to give up the islands tour?"

"Abandoning the islands tour?"

"I know that this is probably the last thing I should say, after all, I am the one who suggested that you participate in the islands tour. But you also saw yesterday's incident, Z crystals are absorbed by you, and after absorption, you can use skills of general attributes. If you speculate on this, I'm afraid that the same thing will happen when you get the crystallization of other attributes later. ”

"Well, that's what I thought too."

"The essence of Z Crystal is one of the projects I studied, but now we only know that it is the power that connects the origin of the world, and that this power is triggered through the harmony of trainers and elves, and there are many mysteries beyond that. Before you, the role of Z Crystal was only to use Z skills. ”

"If the fact that black can absorb Z crystals is exposed, more people will definitely study the reason. And once people can use the skills of the elves, with the impetus of some behind-the-scenes forces, this world order built by humans and elves may be broken. ”

"You mean, if people can use skills like elves, there is no need for elves?"

Dr. Kukui nodded.

"Surely some people would think so, all along, the human mind and the power of the elves have cooperated to solve problems, so that the human and the elves have always been in a state of symbiosis. If this state is broken and people no longer need elves, maybe some people who love elves will still treat them as well, but morality is not for everyone after all. ”

"Alola is a quiet place, unlike the central areas of the world like Carlos and Kanto, where people crave stability and don't seek new powers, and so do I, rather than plunging the world into turmoil for the sake of discovering knowledge, I still want Z Crystals to be used only as a medium for Z skills."

"So, in order to keep my affairs from being exposed, do you want to stop me from going on a tour of the islands?"

"After all, it's just a suggestion, and if Black wants to continue, I won't stop it."

"Then go ahead."

"Hey, you really don't give me any face, I thought you would give up decisively if you didn't have much interest in the islands tour yesterday, do you like the feeling of being able to use elven skills as a human being?"

"It's not so much enjoyment as a hunch." Kuro looked at his palms and continued. "I'm the only one who can absorb Z crystals, I'm afraid it's not accidental, and maybe I knew it, but I forgot about it because of some things. I remember being a trainer, but am I really just a trainer based on my actions? This is a question that even I can't say clearly, and the matter of Z crystallization may be a clue for me to regain my memory. ”

"So you're going to keep retrieving Z Crystals and absorbing them?"

"That's a direction, but I can also assure you that I won't leak this matter, after all, according to you, once the matter is exposed, I may also be arrested as experimental material, and I don't want to do that. On this point, we should be on the same page. ”

"Indeed, if this matter is exposed, it will not be a good thing for black. While it's safe to give you up, I'm not one to take care of such things. ”

While talking, the two of them had almost eaten breakfast.

Gurgling the rest of the milk into his mouth, Black stood up.

"Then I have to apologize to Lilia."

"Speaking of which, Lilia is a little late today, so she should have gotten up early at this time." The doctor said. "It can't be because you haven't slept all night."

"I don't think I have that charisma."

"Anyway, good luck, I have work ahead of me, so I'll leave Liliai's business to you."

"Yes."

With that, Black left the restaurant.

Black walks to Lilia's room and finds the door open.

"Lilia?"

No one answered, and Black walked into the room, and there was no one inside.

"It's strange that the Doctor didn't see Lilia go out, did she leave before us?"

Kuro looked into the room.

The quilt on the bed was unfolded and chaotic, Liliai's pajamas were on the quilt, which were not folded, and on the table was Liliai's white shoulder bag, and Cosmogou was clearly missing.

Obviously, Lilia is not the one who left the room like this, the fact that the quilt was not folded proves that she left in a hurry, and the pajamas seem to have been passed on, but they were placed there like this, and it is estimated that there is no time to fold them.

Since there was still time to change clothes, it should be assumed that Lilia herself had left the room out of her own volition.

Combined with the fact that there is no black ball in the bag, there seems to be only one reason why Lilia will suddenly run out.

Waking up in the middle of the night to find that Cosmogu was gone, he hurriedly changed his clothes and ran out of the hotel to look around.

These eight achievements are the correct answer, but even if the reason for Lilia's departure is known, the key question remains unresolved.

Where will Lilia go? If you go to Cosmogou, you can't predict where Cosmogou will go.

And Liliai's actions may not be consistent with Cosmogu's.

With any luck, she'll find Cosmogogu, who she might be with now.

But if she's unlucky, maybe she's still wandering aimlessly in the city or even in the wild.

Lilia is not a trainer, and there are many elves who can hurt people in the wild, and ordinary people like Liliai should use insect repellent spray to get through the grass.

Just then, Black saw something shiny from Lilia's bag.

Take a closer look -

"Insect repellent spray...... Didn't you completely forget to bring it!? ”

Even if it's dark now, I can't continue to calm down.

I don't know where Lilia might go, so the way I can think of it is probably that-

Black approached Lilia's bed and picked up the pajamas on top.

"It's rude."

Closing his eyes, Black silently apologized to Lilia who was missing.

"Odor detection."

Although scent detection is basically a trick that only canine elves use, but thanks to the fact that it is a general skill, black also uses it.

Inhaling the air, a scent of Lilia's body that remained on her pajamas was inhaled into her black nostrils.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a cloud of red smoke with a direction in my dark eyes, which seemed to symbolize the path of the smell.

"It's a handy skill, but it doesn't seem like there's time to sigh now."

With that, Black was about to run out of the room along the path of the scent, and at that moment-

"Pichu?"

Hearing this, Kuro turned his head.

"Is that you?"

On the balcony is a small rat elf, Pichu.

Although it is only one-sided, Black can recognize it at a glance.

"You're the Pichu that day, it's a shame that you came with me, it's just a one-sided relationship, it seems that you really like her."

As if he were sure, Pichu ran in front of the black.

"Well, I'm about to go to that smart, gentle, and kind woman, my current goddess, and your future goddess, Liliai, do you want to go together?"

……

Follow Road 2 to the end of a gorge of flowers, and Lilia has followed Cosmogou all the way to it.

There seemed to be a number of dangerous elves in the dense flowers ahead, and her target, Cosmogu, seemed to be on the opposite side of the flowers.

"Really, what am I sitting on?"

Lilia laughed self-deprecatingly, and she sat down on the edge of the rock wall, exhausted.

When she found out that Cosmogul had run out without permission, Lilia hurriedly chased after her, and did not bring a sprayer, and seemed to encounter many dangerous elves along the way, but perhaps because she was running fast, or maybe she was lucky, and those elves were thrown away by her.

In this way, she ran all the way across Road 2 and into the garden in this valley.

But that seemed to be the end of it, it was already dawn, and the awakened elves seemed to be wary of Lilia entering their sphere of influence among the flowers.

And to go back - it's not realistic to go without a sprayer.

Unfortunately, this valley is a fairly remote part of the island, and almost no one would have come here if it weren't for the spirit that was unique to the area.

Rarely is not nothing, and at the end of the day, one or two trainers should come here, and if they help her, Lilia will be able to return to town.

But-

"Goo~"

The stomach made an undeniable scream.

Because she was in such a hurry to chase Cosmogu, she was now hungry and tired.

There are elves in the flowers in front and the second road behind, although if a trainer passes by here, she can be saved, but although there should always be a few people in a day, this is random after all.

Even if no one visits here for a day or two, it's not surprising.

In the end, all of this is self-inflicted, and if you can think about it calmly when you leave, and don't bother to ask Black so much to help you, maybe it won't be like this.

I know that I can't do anything if I'm not a trainer, but I make an awkward scene at this juncture, and I really haven't grown up.

She leaned against the rock to regain her strength as she thought wildly.

After all, why she was angry with Hei yesterday, Lilia couldn't say clearly.

She couldn't even tell if it was anger at Hei or not.

If I had to say it, it was probably when she saw Hei hurt herself, and she felt a faint aura of something she didn't want to see.

Not to mention whether that thing was good or bad, but Lilia wanted Black to live as an ordinary trainer like she does now.

It's really a contradiction.,Obviously, I said before.,I must let Hei get back that important memory.。

"I'm really a headstrong and selfish person......"

Lilia sat with her knees folded and waited quietly.

But she seemed to have forgotten one thing.

Even if it's not a place where elves live, it's not impossible to be attacked by elves.

Lilia saw the shadow approaching her, and when she looked up, it was an elf flying towards her.

Just like the elves you encountered when you first saw Kuro, they were flaming sparrows, flying elves that would attack people on their own initiative. (To be continued.) )
