聿聿聿聿——

'Athena' hissed in joy, then lowered her head and nudged Chino's shoulder.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, I won't put you in the book again." Chino touched Athena's forehead and smiled.

聿聿聿聿——

'Athena' hissed loudly, her eyes purring, and she looked warily at the three people around her.

"Hey, girl, be quiet, they're all friends."

Huh?

Tilting her head and glancing for a moment, 'Athena' then clicked around and looked around carefully.

"What is she doing?" Maria Hill asked.

"Territorial awareness."

"Oh."

Maria Hill nodded, animals are indeed territorial and extremely repulsive to intruders.

"Her name is 'Athena', and she's a girl, the first partner I contracted, and she's the contractor of the Light Force Unicorn." Chino explained.

In fact, she was thirty-two years old, and Chino did her first experiment after refining the Book of Gelf in "Demon Tail".

Before that, she was a horse for three years, and after the contract, she was almost immortal.

After walking around, 'Athena' suddenly walked up to the little naughty and stuck out her big tongue ...... 'sucked' - licked the little naughty for a while.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The little naughty stood up, the girl loves to be clean, although it is not her face that is licked, but her shoulders are wet and sticky, which is too uncomfortable.

"Ha, that's her recognition of you, leave a little smell, and you'll be her friend from now on." Chino said with a smile.

The little mischievous looked embarrassed: "...... I'll go wash it. ”

She knew that when animals determined their territory, they would leave urine or something as their mark. I didn't think about it, and I still use saliva...... Make friends!

"Don't! After ten minutes! Chino hurriedly persuaded.

"Why?"

"If you wash it now, she'll think you've rejected her friendship, and you'll be her enemy."

"What happens when you become an enemy?"

"Trust me, you're sure you won't bite you with her 'Athena'." Chino laughed.

Don't underestimate the creature of horses, it's not good to give a bite to a horse, although the horse's teeth are not sharp, but the bite force can definitely make your arm bleed. Not to mention 'Athena', who has contracted the power of a unicorn, steel is like popcorn in front of her.

One bite down, the absolute beep can make you crunchy.

"That'...... Then I'll sit a little longer! The little mischievous sat back in fright, she didn't want to be chased by a horse every day.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing Athena approaching her, Maria Hill hurriedly took up a defensive stance.

"If you don't want to be kicked out by her?" Chino shrugged indifferently.

Maria Hill was a little depressed, and she couldn't spy on Chino at close range if she was kicked out, so she slowly lowered her hand. It's a pity that 'Athena' was already angry with her, and she walked over and 'purred' with a snort, which directly sprayed Maria Hill. Then he left the bewildered Hill and went upstairs with a click.

The little naughty laughed.

Maria Hill was fixed for a while, then wiped it in disgust, and then stretched out her hand and pointed at Garina Dubo: "Why doesn't she have this treatment, are you lying to us?" ”

So the little mischievous was stunned, and looked at Chino with unkind eyes.

"Dear, you're thinking too much. Galina is going to accept the 'contract', and they don't need it between them. ”

"You'd better not lie to me!"

Chino shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at Galina, "Honey, have you chosen?" ”

"No, I'm dazzled, or ...... You help me decide. Garina Dubo was still turning the pages, even though she couldn't read the meaning of the pictures.

Chino is a little flustered, make a choice for her?

How did he choose?

If he had to make a choice, he would have chosen 'Succubus' directly.

Garina Dubo's figure and the seductive temperament of a succubus are simply unwanted.

"Or ...... Let the books choose for themselves? Chino made a suggestion.

"Huh? Can books still make their own choices? Garina Dubo was a little surprised.

"Haven't you ever bought a dog, a cat, or something? Humans choose pets, but sometimes pets choose their owners. Chino explained.

"Well, well...... What am I going to do? ”

"Take it easy, put your hand on the book, and the pages will scroll on their own until the ability that works best for you appears." Chino said.

"Oh."

After Garina Dubo took a pose, Chino tapped the book lightly, and the pages clattered. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes forward, sometimes backwards, basically going through the whole book. Just when Garina thought that the Book of Chino had disgusted her, the pages quickly regressed.

And then - stopped!

Stopped at ......

Chino looked down, hey, it's very unpopular, but this ability is very powerful.

It's a black page, and on it is a woman who might be in better shape than Garina Dubau, but with a back. She carried a huge scythe, the blade of which was almost as long as a man, and the widest part was just right in the position of her head! So if you look at it from the back, it doesn't feel very inconsistent.

But Chino knew what it was.

"A woman?" Garina Dubo was a little dumbfounded, it was the first time she had seen such a figurative painting in the Book of Chino, "What is this?" ”

"Headless Horseman!"

Garina Dobo was frightened: "Headless Horseman...... Is there no head? ”

Looking down closely, it seems that ...... It really doesn't seem to have a head!

"The Headless Horseman? Shouldn't it be a man? Maria Hill asked.

"What?"

"It is said that the 'Headless Horseman' was a brave knight who was killed on the battlefield and his head was cut off by the enemy, so every night when the moon was dark and windy, he would ride a horse that was also an undead in the Sleepy Valley, looking for his lost head." Maria Hill explained.

"That's folklore, this one is not like it." Chino shook his head.

"Yes...... Can you change it? "Garina Dubo didn't want it.

"Are you sure? You must know that the 'Headless Horseman' is a very high-ranking ability in the books. Chino knew what she was worried about, and smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, you will only transform into the form of the 'Headless Horseman' when you use your ability." When you're not using your abilities, you're still the current Garina Dubo. And ......"

"And?"

"Did you know that the 'Headless Horseman' is also one of the few beings who can cast abilities without changing form? Of course, these abilities are more than after changing forms...... Weakened quite a bit. ”

"Really...... Really? ”

"I don't have sugar to eat if I lie to you."

"That'...... Then so be it...... Wait, won't it hurt! ”

Chino smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, it won't!" ”
