147. "Aggressive" (3000)
"How do you know Rin-san"
As soon as these words came out of Luna's mouth, Aono knew that he was in the right place!
Based on his experience of contact with transcendent things, combined with the book he once read, Aono believes that there will be a phenomenon of mutual attraction between transcendent things.
Especially transcendent things with similar attributes.
According to the description of that book, it could be called "the law of transcendent aggregation." ”
The same applies to transcendents, and there is a high chance that the same species of goblins will gather together.
But the Lost Land is so big, there must be more than one gathering place for the elf species.
It was originally just a tentative question from Qingye, but I didn't expect him to really run into a dead mouse for his blind cat, and he ran into it!
Aono then revealed their identities, followed by step-by-step questions.
The plate of snake meat played a valuable role, greatly reducing Luna's vigilance.
Plus Aono and Tamagawa Rin know each other again.
And he is so good-looking, and he really doesn't look like a bad guy, so Luna told Aono all the information related to Tamagawa Rin.
As for the parts related to their village, Luna kept an eye on them and didn't say them all.
Aono didn't care about Luna's concealment, but after learning about Rin's situation, his expression was a little strange.
Captures the point of Luna's words.
"You say, she can't leave the forest either?"
"Hmm."
After a moment's hesitation, Luna nodded.
"Actually, Sister Rin tried to sneak out several times, but she was caught by her sisters."
"She even quietly asked me"
Taiichi Kaneshiro couldn't help but have questions.
"Is it all your beast ears that are your kind of race, and after entering the forest, you can't leave?"
"yes."
Luna nodded of course.
"This is an ancestral precept that we passed down a long, long time ago, and no one dares to disobey it."
"And that kind of thing?"
Taichi Kaneshiro felt weird.
The monkey just now was clearly able to enter and exit the forest freely, so why couldn't Luna, who was obviously more powerful?
The incident itself is full of weirdness.
"Is there some kind of curse in this forest?"
"Well, I don't know."
Luna tilted her head and said honestly.
"Sister, they just said that if you leave the forest, something terrible will happen."
As for what that terrible thing was, Luna had apparently not seen it.
Aono touched his chin.
He didn't think that Luna would lie about this kind of thing, and the performance of the beast-eared girl just now also confirmed this from the side, if it weren't for the fact that such a view was too deep-rooted, the girl obviously couldn't resist the temptation of food.
It became like "no going back".
So here's the problem.
Is Rin Tamagawa, who is also an outsider, really bound by this "can't leave the forest" rule just like them?
The answer to this question, Aono does not know.
Everything, I'll have to wait until I see Rin Tamagawa tomorrow.
"Do you still want to eat?"
Aono gestured to the corpse of the serpent that remained by the campfire.
"Gollum."
Luna swallowed again, food is something that the more you eat, the more you want to eat.
Not to mention that Aono's image in her heart had changed slightly, and she nodded vigorously again.
"I still want it!"
The following night, Aono and Taichi Kaneshiro, along with Luna and her monkeys, ate the entire snake clean.
Most of them were wiped out by Aono.
Luna is relatively edible, but it's definitely not comparable to Aono.
She and Taichi Kaneshiro both ate with round stomachs and were very satisfied.
Aono feels like it's just appetizing!
However, it can barely be considered a good late-night snack.
Swallowing this trait, from a certain point of view, is really terrifyingly powerful.
The next day, early in the morning.
In the forest.
Unlike the dark patches at night, the forest is a vivid green during the day.
The reason why it is described as "bright" is only because of this green, which is really a little abnormally green.
Too bright and tender.
It's different from the usual dark green in the woods.
The hair on the monkey Xiaoqi's body looks a little too green at night, but in the green cover now, it blends in perfectly.
"I said it beforehand! Come as I asked yesterday! ”
Luna turned her head to look at Aono Road solemnly.
"Uh-huh."
Aono nodded in agreement.
"Hah
Luna stretches out widely, as she is unattractive because she is mediocre in front of her.
She looked energetic at night, but during the day, she was a little sluggish.
After all, cats are still nocturnal animals!
Taiyi Kaneshiro on the side was also depressed because he didn't sleep well last night.
In the early morning light, you can see clearly.
Luna's skin has a healthy wheat color, which is due to the lack of fabric on her body and the fact that her skin is exposed to light for a long time.
The cat's ears on the top of the head, as well as the tail behind it, are all brown with a hint of gray.
During last night's supper, Luna identified with Aono and stopped seeing him as an enemy.
Finally, after careful consideration, he agreed to bring Aono back to the village.
But it depends on what her sister and the village chief think.
If they didn't let Aono in, Luna wouldn't be able to.
This kind of request, Aono can still agree.
In practice, there is still a lot of flexibility.
The plants you meet along the way are diverse.
There are shrubs that are as dense as waterfalls, and vines that tangle like snakes, all of which are eeriely bright green.
Vibrant life fills every corner of the forest.
The air is fresh and natural.
It's as if if you live here for a long time, your life will be extended.
Aono was quite emotional.
He only accompanied the rich woman to the forest park for a period of time after he was discharged from the hospital.
After that, I never saw such a dense forest again.
In a modern city, it is almost impossible to see such a primeval forest.
Taichi Kaneshiro was equally intoxicated.
Compared to what I saw some time ago, this forest can be regarded as a rare beauty.
It would be nice if its nights were less dangerous.
"It's almost there."
Luna leads the way.
Athletic and nimble, he landed on all fours from time to time and walked through the woods without any hindrance.
Aono can do it with his extremely high agility and physique.
But this is a bitter Jincheng Taiyi on the side, and his physique is a little stronger than ordinary people.
The only extraordinary ability is those golden eyes, but because Aono is by his side, he has never dared to use them.
At this time, he was still carrying pots and pans behind his back, and the burden was heavy.
It can be said that it couldn't be more miserable.
Barely catching up with Aono and them, it was already very difficult.
Fortunately, Aono was empathetic and took the initiative to take over the kitchen utensils to relieve him of some of the burden.
Otherwise, just by hurrying, he would be tired and lying down!
"It's just ahead."
Luna reminded again.
It's just that soon, the cat-eared lady herself let out a strange soft sigh.
"Huh?"
It was as if he sensed something was wrong.
In Aono's inspiration, the aura of many fairy species gathered in that direction.
Probably a village.
But the atmosphere between them doesn't seem to be harmonious?
"Village Chief! Luna is missing too, right? ”
A cat-eared girl who looked very similar to Luna, but was more mature, was speaking menacingly to a woman in front of her.
It is indeed "menacing"!
She is dressed in the same way as Luna, with only two pieces of fabric, her upper body and lower body.
Just like the existence of a certain treasure "buyer's show" and "seller's show", the same clothes, worn on different people, are completely two different effects.
In stark contrast to the unremarkable Luna, it is this "fierce" momentum.
The fabric can't be completely wrapped, and it will come out at any time.
Visually striking.
This is Luna's sister, Sheila.
Her target is a middle-aged woman with a fox's tail, who is the head of the village.
said that she was "middle-aged", and other people in the village didn't remember her age very well, but she still had a charm, a smile and a mature style.
The clothes on his body cover a much larger area than Hilla.
It is a robe made of some kind of biological hair.
Luna hides in a corner, but doesn't dare to step forward again.
Even if she is not yet mentally mature, she can see that the atmosphere in the village at this time is by no means unusual.
Led by the village chief and Sheila, they were divided into two groups.
Rare hostility to each other.
This was the first time in Luna's memory!
And from my sister's words, it seems that it has something to do with her disappearance.
However, Luna notices the key word in the discourse, "Also?" ”
Anyone else is missing besides her?
Looking at it like this, it's obviously not the first time!
"Sheila, what are you talking about?"
The dark brown tail behind the village chief shook slightly, and his tone was not hurried, but he asked.
"Luna, that little girl, must be just going somewhere?"
"No need to make such a fuss."
"That's not right."
Sheila shook her head slightly, her tone firm.
"Anyway, Luna won't spend the night outside the village!"
"She must have had an accident."
Her tone was like saying, "My sister, how could I not know? ”
Hearing this, Luna subconsciously felt the urge to rush out to report her sister's safety.
But at this time, Aono leaned forward and said softly.
"Don't you want to know what they're arguing about?"
The exhaled heat tickled Luna's sensitive ears, and she shook slightly, wanting to scream a "meow".
Fortunately, she was able to control it.
Luna did want to know the inside story of the conflict, and continued to listen.
"Village chief, this isn't the first disappearance in the village, is it?"
Sheila spoke again.
"From Aunt Kayson, and Uncle Jack, to my sister"
At the mention of a name, Luna's eyes widened slightly.
"How long do you think you can hide it?"
"Whatever the truth, we don't want to be kept in the dark anymore, please tell us the truth you're hiding."
