Chapter 20: Black and White

"Hmm......"

The furry Erri got up from the bed, the sun had already risen, but Yuka didn't seem to come to call her.

After eating, Yuka let Erri sleep in the transformed trunk of the tree, and she herself had to adjust the demonic power inside the flower field.

As a result, Erli fell asleep immediately while lying on the bed, and Yuxiang didn't care about her, and she was outside to adjust and rest.

"It hurts so much...... My head is also groggy..."

Her head still hurt, but her voice was gone.

I was about to get up, but I tripped over my own foot.

"Ahh

Boom.

First the nose, then a headbutt on the wooden floor, the standard face on the ground.

One foot was still hanging from the edge of the bed, the other leg was in the air, and both hands were crawling on the floor, their hair scattered haphazardly.

The pain in her nose made her want to turn around and cover her nose well, but she ignored that her feet were still hanging on the edge of the bed, and forced her to turn around.

Sure enough, there were cramps.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

The hand covering his nose quickly separated the other, held the leg, and reluctantly moved the leg down first.

"Ahhh

This is the scream of the girl, because the posture is not quite right, and the leg is pumped again.

……

……

……

“… Haha"

Yuxiang, who helped Erli find a water source, watched the former wash his hair with river water, and suddenly Yuxiang laughed herself.

I didn't blame her, I naturally heard Erlie's screams, thinking that a human was attacking, but what I saw was Erli covering her red nose and pressing her legs to pin the tendon.

It's so funny, and with Yuka's personality, she just looks at Erli with a standard smile and doesn't care about anything.

Ellie herself stayed on the floor for three minutes, and Yuuka watched from her seat for three minutes.

In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore, because Elle couldn't get up on her own and fell several times; And every time I hit the ground with my nose, I went back and forth so many times, and tears came out.

This made Yuka think she was crying, so she quickly walked over and squatted down, wiped her tears, and then helped Erli up.

“… What a child. ”

Yuxiang said to herself.

"Sister Yuxiang, what did you say?"

Erli, who had just finished washing and straightening her hair, slowly walked towards Yuxiang.

"Nothing. How are you doing? ”

She smiled casually and changed the subject.

"Fluttering... But now I can barely go.

What about you? I guess I can recover faster than I do. ”

"Barely 30% can cope with some situations.

Not to mention this, what is that friend of yours like? ”

"Ah, her name is Yakumo Purple, and she is a youkai of the realm.

But I don't know what that means, but it's a very special youkai.

Specifically, I'll try to see if I can call her over and see if I can talk to you directly? ”

After a brief introduction to Purple, Ellie wanted to try to cast the gap, not knowing if the current magic could support a simple signal.

How about trying to concentrate the magic to a single point? Without activating the demon form?

She raised her hand, her white index finger pointing into the air.

Yuka didn't know what Erri was doing, she just watched.

A little blue fluorescence shone on the fingertips, but nothing happened.

Apparently she still had to use a demonization, and she used a small piece of purple lightning to guide it to her fingertips.

The gap that couldn't be smaller opened at the fingertips.

"Shhh

The moment the magic was devoured, the headache immediately deepened, and the brains felt boiling, churning and blurring Ellie's vision into a white.

An imperceptible red aura came out of her eyeballs, but then she pulled out the Jingyue knife, and let the magic in the knife suppress the evil ******* in her body, are you okay? ”

Yuka hadn't noticed the hint of red just now, but Erli's actions were still a little unsettling.

A blue flame crawled up Ellie's forehead along her arm and melted in.

"It's okay... It's okay... It's time for the signal.

Wait a minute, Sister Yuka..."

Standing on her own, Ellie rubbed her temples.

It only took a moment to borrow the power of the demon, and he almost drove himself crazy.

"A word of warning.

You've run out of mana,

Don't think about using the power of demons anymore. ”

The voice that hadn't appeared in a long time suddenly popped out of my head, but it was still so mechanical and rigid.

"That's something you can't control right now,

As I said, between thirty and one hundred years.

Before that, forcibly activate the demonic power hidden in you,

Let's go straight to it,

You will lose consciousness forever, or rather, suffer forever.

At that time, you will find that death is truly a wonderful relief. ”

“……”

Did you almost kill yourself?

At this time, the gap opened in front of Erli, and Purple poked her head first, as if trying to determine Erli's location.

"Yo, Purple..."

"Leigh? What's going on? ”

Seeing the unspirited face, Purple immediately jumped out of the gap and asked Erri with concern.

Kazami Yuka was a little stunned, this is the first time I've seen this ability, and it's not so easy to deal with if it fights.

"Why are you so weak now? The situation in the forest is...... Who are you? ”

Only then did Purple notice the Kazami Yuka behind Ellie, and she felt that the latter was also very weak. Yuka still had her own dangerous smile at Yakumo Murasaki.

"The wind is fragrant, the monster of flowers."

"The wind is fragrant... Beautiful... Did you do it? ”

"You haven't introduced yourself yet."

Youxiang wasn't in a hurry, and wanted to play with Purple, but the latter didn't care, just said coldly.

"So, I understand that you did it?"

"I did it, then, and then?"

Purple didn't respond, and more than a dozen demonic bullets hung behind her, ready to answer directly with an attack.

Yuka still stood upright, holding her body in her hands, as if she was ready to do it again, with that rather provocative smile.

Didn't these two get along well since they were young?

Erli was a little embarrassed, deliberately ignoring the root of Purple and Yuka's preparation. But she still knew that it was better for the two of them not to fight, so she said:

"Purple, Sister Yuxiang, wait..."

"Li...?"

"She's not an enemy, I'm sure."

Hearing Erli's words, Purple looked at Yuxiang opposite, and then at Erli next to her, and when she saw her nodding, she hesitantly swallowed the demon power bullet with a gap.

It seemed to be persuaded, and Yuka breathed a sigh of relief, it was good to be able to avoid a vicious battle.

After all, Yakumo Zi's demonic power fluctuations made her feel that she had a chance of winning only when she recovered to seventy or eighty percent. Maybe with all your strength, you can be sure to defeat her.

"So what's the matter with you? Beautiful? ”

"I did have a fight with her, and I guess I won by a narrow margin."

"Narrowly won?"

Indeed, the flower demon named Kazami Yuka clearly felt her weakness in demonic power, although nothing was revealed on the surface, but the surrounding woods were fluctuating, and she knew that she was no longer able to maintain those things.

"It's indeed a narrow victory, Yakumo Purple.

Your abilities are very special, and when I regain my strength, I want to fight you. ”

“…… Maybe, but I'm going to check on Rei's situation now. ”

"Leigh? Ellie? This little kid?

She didn't have anything to do, nothing happened except that she had consumed that strange demonic power. ”

Zi used the realm to observe Erli's body, and it was indeed the same as she said, it was fine, but she needed to rest.

Confirming this, Yakumo Zi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yuka.

"Since Liz is fine, I don't want to get involved with you anymore... I..."

"Purple, wait a minute."

Elle interrupted Yakumo and walked between the two. She asked as she walked, Purple.

"What's wrong?"

"Sister Youxiang, I said the conditions."

"Yes, I can do it at any time. Look at you, or rather, look at the youkai called Yakumo Murasaki. ”

Purple was still a little confused, and Erri happened to explain to her the conditions of the previous battle and the village's compensation.

After the introduction, she also understood what she needed to do, so she sighed, and then said:

"I should be able to do it, but it depends on how big you need it. The bigger the place, the more effort I have to put in. ”

"As for this flower field and the wooden houses inside, I'll remove the illusion first, and it's convenient for you to observe."

There was a slight tremor around them, and not far from the woods to the east, the land was vacant of the abandoned village that Ellie had found before, and the village itself was surrounded by trees.

The south and north sides are still wooded, but not as deep as they seem. Finally, to the west was a mud pool, what seemed to be a dry swamp, and it didn't seem to have enough water before spring.

Yakumo didn't say much, and directly opened the gap in the air and observed.

"Everything in the flower field?"

"All of them, including the branches and roots of every flower."

"So..."

A huge eyeball opened in the air, staring at the three youkai below.

"It's disgusting."

Yuka said her thoughts unabashedly, but Erli was still a little scared. After all, they were stared at by such a big eye this time, and countless eyeballs inside looked at them, like locusts seeing green shoots.

The gap went down, swallowed directly into the soles of the feet of the three people, and then closed.

There is no sound of digging a big pit and destroying mountains and rocks. Only when the gap closes, that wonderful feeling.

The three of them quickly came out of the gap, and the flower field also happened to fall into a depression, and it seemed that the two gaps were starting at the same time, replacing each other's positions.

"I didn't expect that your ability is quite convenient. Except the eyes inside are just disgusting. ”

Yuka looked around and made an evaluation. Zi shook her head, then pointed into the distance, where there were several stone mountains.

"Rei and I live over there."

"Got it.

I'll visit when I'm well. ”

Yuka finished saying this and prepared to walk back to the flower field.

"Goodbye, Sister Yuka."

Erlie said goodbye to her, and Yuuka just shook her hand.

Then, she said to Zi that she should send herself back to the previous place and prepare to complete the commission of the nest, after all, she has to get paid.
