"Katir you should know something, why didn't you tell me!!"

Doudou turned his eyes to look up at Katir and asked coquettishly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But Katir didn't eat it at all. Instead, like coaxing a child, he raised his index finger and lightly tapped Doudou's forehead.

"Nothing is hidden. It's just that there's no evidence yet, so you can't say something foolish, right!!"

"One by one!! deception"

Doudou turned around coldly, while Katier leaned into Doudou's ear and said softly!!

"Really believe me one by one. I'm here to protect you."

What a vicious blow! Hearing these sweet words, Doudou didn't even have the strength to resist, but, that's impossible!!

Although it's true that Katier is a beautiful girl just by looking at the outside, it's completely negative if you count the inside.

"What's going to happen next-?!"

Satsuki said expectantly, and the end of the words flew away.

"Hey, Celestial Senior!!"

"Hmm-one-one? Yes!! Yes...... yes!!"

Satsuki looked at Doudou in a daze with angry eyes.

"Celestial seniors can't be taken lightly!! Although there is a Kartir to protect it."

Although it's true, I always feel a little hurt, and it's really ...... to be protected by this goddess of waste wood.

But then again, why does it feel like Satsuki is angry? Who provoked her??

"What...... I—I didn't think ...... that!!"

"Oh. Yes."

I always feel that Satsuki is like being perfunctory.

Doudou shouted through gritted teeth as he glanced at Katil, but Katir was still the same.

You can't miss my gaze!? But it seems that she didn't say anything, obviously she was originally asked to be a bodyguard. It's a disgusting calm.

Although dissatisfied with Katier's attitude, Doudou still walked in front without saying a word. Now I don't feel fear at all, only anger.

One by one, suddenly, the footsteps stopped.

"What's wrong?!"

"What's wrong! Where do we go next!? Say it, ah, ah, !!."

Doudou immediately turned his head towards Katir.

"It's too domineering to take the lead and walk so horizontally!"

Katir shook her head and said like an adult,

"You give me less verbosity."

"Keep going, and if you think you're going wrong, ask me."

"One by one, we still don't tell us the destination, right!!"

Looking at Doudou, who was asking viciously, Katier seemed to be thinking about something.

"Destination?! Ah, one by one, in short, it is outside. Maybe it's the backyard."

"Backyard? What's the basis?!"

"The aura is all gathered there. From all directions, concentrated to the backyard. I'm not sure, but it feels like it's there."

Faced with Doudou's question, Katier said cautiously!

"Don't you know everything about energy?! Why didn't you find out?!"

"Why? One by one, because it's natural!!"

Katir replied crisply. Sometimes I wish she could learn some humility.

"Don't you have something you can't explain?! Why didn't you find out until the ball of light attacked you? Why do you turn a blind eye to his proximity every time?!"

"That's ......"

I really can't answer this question. The way that ball of light exists is very strange, although it is like the soul of a dead person, it is different from the soul, and there is no evil "qi" at all.

In other words, the way the ball of light exists is the "right way" that is recognized by the world. This is not an easy way to find a target based on evil spirits.

It's a coincidence that I don't have any other means than to perceive evil qi for the time being. You must know that even this ability is due to the negative effects of using the "Divine Fire" many times.

"It's going to be hard."

With two meanings, Doudou couldn't help but sigh and said.

As I said, I'm a very difficult enemy to catch.

The other point is that the enemy is not an "evil thing."

It is a non-human creature that has intelligence and can even communicate in words.

Doudou has no experience in fighting this kind of thing at all, and it is unknown whether he will be able to attack it with a "wooden sword" when the time comes. Hopefully, it won't get to the point where you have to use Divine Fire.

"It's useless to think about it here. Anyway, let's go to the backyard first."

Unable to think of any answers, Doudou had to take the lead again.

Walk through the promenade, walk to the population, and go out to the backyard.

Katier followed Satsuki and Doudou out. Then, raise your eyes slightly.

"One by one?!"

"What?!"

Satsuki, who has always had a keen sense of hearing, immediately asked.

"It's no big deal, one by one, the control ability is too good!!"

"You're tithing......

didn't wait for Doudou to finish asking.

One by one, chew a bite.

With the sound of darkness in front of the sound, looking at the situation at this time, several other people were doubting their eyes.

The silence was broken after a few seconds.

"Wow!! It's classical!!"

"It's true, I really didn't expect to see this kind of thing in real life."

As if looking at some spectacular scenery, Satsuki clasped her palms together and looked at Doudou with an iron bucket that fell from the sky on her head.

"Ahh

Laughter erupted, and there was no politeness at all.

Can't name any source. At this moment, with the night sky as the background, the ball of light began to dance. This is something that is simply unthinkable in reality, and the imaginary scenes are also a precursor to disaster.

Suddenly, the iron bucket on Doudou's head gradually glowed red. The hot metal dissolved in an instant, and began to fall to the ground along Doudou's body.

He shook off the remaining piece of metal from his head and looked up at the sky quietly.

The eyes are motionless.

The hesitation of the battle until ten seconds ago has now vanished without a trace. Doudou pulled out the wooden sword and swung it into the air hard, and the tip of the sword made a stabbing sound after it came into contact with the air.

Flashes, twos, and restless balls of light dodged and glittered in the air, and the remnants of the wooden sword slid through the air like searchlights.

Looking at such a spectacular scene, Xiao Yue couldn't help but tremble.

"Hey...... Isn't that a bit of a hassle!!"

"I feel like I can get the police."

The two of them looked at Doudou with wordless eyes.

……

「……… Really, Celestial Senior!!"

Satsuki approached Doudou as she spoke, quickly moved behind Doudou's back, and grabbed his hand wielding the wooden sword.

"Let go of me!! Satsuki!!"

"Let go of you, but. Tianyu senior, you also have to calm down."

"But, but ......"

Looking at Doudou, who was so annoyed that his eyes were filled with tears, Satsuki sighed deeply.

「…… Celestial Seniors...... Please don't cry over such a trivial matter......

"I didn't cry!! And have you ever had the experience of putting an iron bucket on your head?! You can't understand this shame if you haven't experienced it!!!!!

As he spoke, Doudou swung the wooden sword again!!

……

"I don't want to know. ……」

Looking at Doudou, who was completely crazy, Xiao Yue twitched the corners of her mouth a little wordlessly. After that, look at the balls of light flying in the air. Obviously, the thing that flies according to an irregular trajectory is simply making fun of the heavenly language.

"Don't make a fuss, our 'eldest young master' patience is limited. Hurry up and stop this prank, get down quickly!!"

Facing the ball of light, Katir said!

"I always feel that the Heavenly Language may even use the 'Divine Fire' in the future."

But one by one

"What nonsense! If you have the ability, you can catch me!!"

The ball of light said nonchalantly.

One one

In the face of such provocation, Katir just squinted at it. Suddenly, the ball of light let out a scream and fell.

The sound of embarrassment and wailing rang out one by one

"What, what, what!?"

Dropped down.

"-What did you do?!!

Seeing this situation, Doudou forgot to be angry and asked!!

"Cut it off."

What a simple answer. However, this surprised Doudou even more.

"Is he floating with buoyancy?!"

The shape of the photosphere, although it can be matched by that name, is round. However, no matter how you look at it, you can't imagine that it flies with the help of buoyancy.

Katir didn't answer, just stretched out her hand. At this moment, the ball of light crawling on the ground was sucked into her hand.

At first, the ball of light struggled, but soon gave up. Eventually, with his own buoyancy, he stood still in front of Katier.

The light faded and finally revealed its original form.

A thin and slender girl with a height of only twenty centimeters floated in the air with a pair of transparent wings.

"It's ...... Elf?!"

Satsuki's eyes widened in shock, and she understood the truth. Elves are winged elves all their lives. As far as everyone knows, elves are optimistic, and from time to time they appear in the world and like to play some pranks.

"Everyone's called me Thranel."

The elf saw that everyone was paying attention to her, and began to show cute expressions.

"Hey!! Why are ?!!!you playing with us when your name isn't called?"

"Just because I don't want humans to come close."

In the face of the angry Doudou, the elf did not have any fear, but said in a very arrogant tone.

"Well, this is a place where humans live, Miss Elf, please don't be vexatious."

Satsuki also began to persuade.

But-

"I don't want that—"

Thran said haughtily.

"You guy......

I always felt that looking at her expression as a matter of course made it even more annoying. Doudou stabbed directly with a wooden sword, but Satsuki stopped him.

"Okay, Tianyu seniors, please calm down one by one."

"But ......!!"

"No but!! Tianyu seniors are very strange today, huh? Always emotional at work! That's what the Celestial Seniors said!!"

As soon as Xiao Yue said, I realized that I was indeed too emotional today, and I shouldn't lose my mind like this at work. Even if it's a very nasty job.

It is said that I am always ashamed to be taught a lesson by what I have said!!

"That's right, it's because Tianyu's spiritual age is the same as that of an elf."

Katir answered the silent question. She said to Satsuki with a smile!!

"It's similar..."

Katir proposed, and Satsuki nodded.

At this time, a wave of hot blood surged up on Doudou's head.

"Wait a minute!! Are you saying I'm the same thing as this insect? No kidding!!!

"Wait a minute! Are you saying I'm the same as this man who will only use brute force to solve everything? It's a great insult!!

Thranel and Beanie shouted almost at the same time. Seeing their tacit understanding, the four of them were speechless, and in a blink of an instant, two of them laughed loudly.

"Y-What is so ridiculous about you! Don't laugh! Don't laugh anymore!!

The more Beanie made a sound, the more they wanted to laugh. This unbridled laughter lasted for a long time, and the ministry did not stop.

"Ah, my stomach hurts from laughing!!"

Finally everyone calmed down, and Katir exhaled contentedly. However, Doudou stood there full of resentment, stubbornly turning his back to the three people.

"Alright, don't be so angry. Next time I'll treat you to dinner. Celestial Whisper Senior!!"

"Tithe!?"

With her eyes wide open in horror, Katir turned away.

"Just now...... Is this ......?!"

"What's wrong? Katir-san?!"

Facing Katier, who was suddenly approaching step by step, Xiao Yue said a little nervously.

"I already know what she's trying to say?"

Doudou "snapped" and covered his face with his hand, with an expression that he didn't want to listen to it at all.

"Isn't it just about a hamburger or something?! The hamburger is good, and the hamburger is great, but, but—."

「…… Anything goes......!"

"That's what you said! Come to your senses! I can't let you go this time!!"

Katir has the expression of a villain in a movie.

"Hey! Katier, Satsuki didn't say she wanted to invite you, what are you worried about here?!!

"Yes, yes!! Alright ladies, let's clean up. We're going to have a big dinner next!!"

Katir did not dismiss Doudou's provocative declaration at all, or ignore it entirely. Begin to walk forward.

Xiao Yue, who was following her, didn't know why she had a somewhat lost expression.

Could it be that she has been short of money recently, and it seems that she will have to find a way to stop Katir from rushing to your store to eat.

"So, what the hell are you going to do in the backyard?!"

"I didn't do anything bad, I just wanted to fulfill my grandfather's last wish."

Satsuki asked Thran, who was flying overhead. As if knowing that he could no longer hide, the elf replied honestly!!

"Are there homeless people living in the backyard?"

Hearing this, Doudou looked at Satsuki in surprise.

"How is that possible? And what era is it now, how can there be homeless people."

With such stupid words, everyone came to the backyard. At first glance, the backyard looks like normal, but Doudou sees the problem.

"Let's focus on it one by one."

In the middle of the trees in the backyard stands a huge tree. It was as if the power of heaven and earth had gathered in that tree.

"Focus? Is it the legendary 'Cursed Old Tree'?"

Hearing what Satsuki said inadvertently, Doudou looked back.

"What, that's?!"

"That's the tree that I just said was the tree that fell to death. It doesn't bloom from the second year, isn't that a curse from the girl who fell to her death? That's why it's called the 'cursed old tree.'"

「… The suicide was five years ago, why do you still keep this tree that hasn't bloomed for five years!?"

"Hey, this one. Because the tree is old. However, I heard that this tree will be cut down during this year's winter vacation."

Satsuki overhears something she heard from the school staff.

"I see!!"

Nodding slightly, Katir looked over to Thranel.

"Well, you have to work hard!!"

「OK！！」

The elf with transparent wings flew towards the old tree, and at the same time, many balls of light appeared on the branches of the old tree.

The countless elves, entangled in the light, began to dance around the old tree. The disorderly dances slowly gathered together and formed a circle around the old trees.

The elves tirelessly danced around the tree in order to fulfill the last wish of the old tree. As the text says, in order to "let it bloom again".

The elves spun in circles. The glittering circumference gives the old tree some life force. And then one by one

Suddenly, the withered old tree began to come back to life, the bark slowly began to moisten, and flower buds grew on the branches, and after a while, the flower buds began to slowly swell, and then, flowering.

The old tree became bright, and the branches were full of pink and white flowers. The falling petals fluttered in the wind, and the elves danced in the petals.

The storm of petals and the spirits, as well as the huge tree that stood in the middle of them, enchanted the viewers, and it was truly beautiful.

「…… Ah......h

But it was so short-lived. The petals dissipated, and the vision began to become clear, and what appeared in front of me was still the dead tree before flowering, and it was a tree that was even older than before.

For a brief moment of flowering, the old tree drains the rest of its life. From its current posture, there is not the slightest sign of life.

As if it was over, the elves raced away. The last ball of light hovered over their heads for a moment as if to say goodbye and flew away.

One by one, in reality and unreality, this event is really over.

"Ahh

Xiao Yue, who was full of thoughts, snapped, and Doudou also nodded deeply. Looking in awe at the old tree that ended its life with unsurpassed beauty.

"Hey. I've suffered a lot from the elves, but if they're just here to protect this, then I can't blame them."

Although he is very unwilling, he still has to show a man's bearing at this time. And I saw it too, great stuff.

But at this moment. Katir looked strangely at Doudou, who said this.

「…… What? ………」

"One by one, nothing!!"

"Hurry up and make it clear, it's unbearable!!"

Looking at the perfunctory Katier, Doudou sternly said. So, Katir had no choice but to speak out.

"The best way to protect something is to keep it from being known."

"What are you talking about?!"

"If you don't find out, you won't be attacked, no one will come close, but we're close. Because he knew there was an anomaly, he ran around the campus in order to chase the elves."

After listening to Katier's words, as if he remembered something, Doudou lowered his head lightly and spoke slowly in a quiet tone.

"In other words, the elves did nothing at all. The meaning of 'guarding' is wrong, but they are not stupid, so they should know this."

Strange look at Tianyu,

「…… So, why do you do that............

Satsuki is completely confused.

"You know what kind of personality elves have, right!? Likes to be mischievous, cheerful, and innocent like a child."

Katir shrugged her shoulders and said lightly.

"They're just trying to fool humans."

Doudou lowered his head and shook his shoulders, and the people around him quickly hid and began to evacuate as if they knew what would happen in the next moment.

Doudou looked at the direction where the elf flew with a fire-breathing gaze.

"Give me back! You abominable elves!! I'm going to kill you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As night fell, the sound of angry screams echoed in the campus.
