Chapter 42: Hinamizawa

“…… No. It's proof of being friends. But when did you find out? ”

"It's just speculation. When you met with Black Rabbit, you said, "If you stand on the upper hand, you don't want to find out." That's not something that ordinary people can do. So I think that Kasugabe should be your gift more than just communicating with other races. Besides, there are no creatures on earth that can withstand that speed, right? ”

Yao turned his head away from Sixteen Nights' intriguing gaze.

At this time, the three-haired cat rushed forward from the side, rushed to Yao's shoulder, and asked worriedly: [Miss! Didn't get hurt, right!? 】

"Hmm. It's okay. It's just that his fingers are numb and his clothes are rotten. Yao gently stroked the three-haired cat that came to him.

And opposite her, there was the white yasha who did not hesitate to give applause, and the griffin who sighed in his eyes.

[Beautiful. I hope you will use the gift you have received as evidence that you have won over me.

"Hmm. I'll use it well. ”

"Oops, that's amazing. This game is you winning. …… But are your gifts innate? ”

"It's not. It was only because of the post-wood carvings that he received from his father that he was able to communicate with animals. ”

"Wood carving?"

The three-haired cat explained to the puzzled White Yasha: "Miss's father is a sculptor. We are talking about the work of Miss's father. 】

"Oh...... My father was a sculptor. If you don't mind, can you show me the wood carving? ”

Yao nodded and took off the round wood carving artifact that was used as a pendant.

Hayasha carefully observed the palm-sized wooden carving in his hand, and his eyebrows tightened. Asuka and Sixteen Nights also came to her side curiously.

"......" Li Na also 'looked' over.

"It's a complicated pattern. Does it make any sense? ”

"It seems to make sense, but I don't know. I was told before, but I forgot. ”

"This ......"

Not only the White Yaksha, but also the Sixteen Nights and the Black Rabbit also participated in the appraisal seriously.

Look back and forth, touching the geometric lines with your fingers. The black rabbit tilted his head and asked, "The material is Nan's divine wood ......?" But I don't feel like there's any trace of Godhead on it...... As for the geometric lines that extend towards the center...... There is also a circular blank space in the middle...... Could it be that your father has a friend who is a biologist? ”

"Hmm. My mom is ......."

"Since you're a biologist, could this be a representation of a system tree, White Yaksha?"

"I'm afraid it is...... So this graphic...... Concentrate it again in this way to the circle...... Oh, this is...... This is amazing!! It's really amazing, girl!! If it was created by man, then your father was a genius of God! I didn't expect that people could complete a unique system tree, and it was even established as a gift! This is a masterpiece that is truly named "Catalog of Life"! White Yaksha said excitedly.

Yao tilted his head and asked, "System tree?" Is that the one that represents the evolutionary genealogy of biological origins? But I remember that my mother's system tree shape was more like a big tree. ”

"Hmm. It's a work inspired by your father. The wood carving was deliberately made into a circle to express the cycle of life and the meaning of reincarnation. Regeneration and destruction, this is the manifestation of the continuous existence of the living system

In reincarnation, evolution gradually moves towards the center of the circle, which means the center of the world. As for the blank space in the middle, I don't know if I want to represent the center of the world in the cycle, or if I think that life is not yet complete, or maybe the work itself is not finished. ”

“…… Well, that's amazing. It's amazing. It's been a long time since the imagination has been so stimulated! It's wonderful! If you don't mind, transfer it to me! ”

"Nope." Yao refused and took the wood carving back.

"......" Hayasha was as unhappy as a child who had been taken his beloved toy.

"So, what kind of power is this?"

"It's not clear. It is now clear that you can talk to other races, and that you can get the unique gift of being a friend race. If you want to know more details, you have to ask the appraiser in the store. And it's not an appraiser who lives on the upper floor, so I'm afraid I can't identify it. ”

"Huh? Can't even Lord White Yasha identify it? Today I am here to commission an appraisal! ”

Hayasha said with some embarrassment, "Actually, did you come to appraise the gift?" It's not my major, there's no way......"

It seems that Hakuyasha was going to accept the commission for free as a prize for the competition.

She scratched her white hair in embarrassment, dragged her kimono and walked over, looking at the faces of the four people to take a closer look.

"I'll see............ Uh-huh...... Well, the quality of all four is quite high. But that doesn't mean anything. What do you know about your gifts? ”

"Trade Secrets."

"Ditto."

"Ditto."

"I don't mind saying it." One of the four was a traitor.

"Whoa! Looks like you know a lot about your gifts! Hayasha said with great interest.

"My gift...... Well, it's more of a disease. ”

"Sick?" Although they had heard Li Na say it before, Asuka and Yao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, while Sixteen Nights showed an interested expression.

"So what kind of disease is it?"

"Hinamizawa syndrome, it's a disease that allows ordinary people to gain superhuman strength."

"Wouldn't that be nice?" The black rabbit was a little surprised, the disease that can gain strength for ordinary people should not be considered a disease!

"But the patient will die within 48 hours, and he will also lose his mind, kill people like crazy, his body will bleed constantly, and he will mumble inexplicably from time to time."

"............," Hakuyasha frowned, "But, you're right, you didn't show up." ”

But the next moment, as if he had discovered something, Hakuyasha pointed to the strip of cloth on Li Na's eyes and said, "Could it be a seal?!" ”

"It's pretty much the same, but my illness is different from the average person."

"What's the difference?" The three of them were also aroused by Li Na's curiosity.

"Hinamizawa syndrome is a disease caused by being infected by ghosts and gods, and in Hakoiwa's words, it means that ordinary people have obtained a godhead at the level of ghosts and gods, but they can't bear ......."

"I see, but you ......"

"I know that I'm the only one who didn't die in 48 hours, so I absorbed the power of the ghosts and gods to gain extradimensional abilities, but as you can see, I need to use the seal to restrain myself from going berserk." Li Na would not be stupid enough to casually expose his truth.

After all, the quasi-god position is only three digits in the extremely high-end world of the box garden, although this three digits refer to Az. The degree of Dakaha, but it also proves that the upper two digits and one digit are equivalent to the highest level of God!

It should be impossible to talk about it...... Well, probably?

Moreover, Li Na's normalcy can only be with Az. Dakaha opened six-four, and his state did not show whether his race was considered a human at all, so he couldn't beat Az. Dhakaha is also a bit hanging......

Not to mention being sealed now.

"Uh-huh! Then think of it as a gift of ghosts and gods! Hakuyasha nodded, seemingly very satisfied with Li Na's cooperation.

Although the ghosts and gods are the representatives of 'power' in the box garden, and their gestures are full of great power, and it is easy to destroy the world with a strong force, but there is not a trace of ghosts and gods in Li Na's body at all.

"Ahhh~ However, no matter what, as the "host", as the star spirit, it is always unreasonable not to give you the "gift" that has passed the trial. It's a bit extravagant, but it's a good time to celebrate your guild revival in advance! ”

White Yasha slapped his hands twice, and four shining cards suddenly appeared in front of the four people.

The cards not only contain their names, but also the names of the gifts that are hidden within them.

The sky blue card reads Sixteen Nights of the Reverse Heaven: The Name of the Gift - [Body Unknown]

The burgundy card reads the name of the Ancient Bird: Gift - [Weiguang]

The dark green card has the name of Kasugabe Yao Gifted - [Life Catalog (No Specific Form)]

The blood-red card with a little black has the name of Rina Enshii written on it-[Hinamisawa (Onijin)]

Each of the four people has their own card.

Facing the black rabbit who seemed to be surprised, he looked at the cards in the hands of the four people with excitement on his face.

"Gift Cards!"

"Zhongyuan Ceremony?"

"Year-end money?"

"New Year's money?"

"Red envelopes?"

"No, it's not! Why are you so tacit (why are you so skilled)!? This is a very expensive card that can absorb the revealed gifts! Yao's "Life Catalog" can also be collected, and it can be displayed at any time when needed! ”

"So it's a very good prop?"

"Why do you ignore everything! Of course, it's a great item! ”

The four people who were blamed by the black rabbit looked at the card in their hands curiously.

"It should have the name of the guild and the coat of arms on it, like the coat of arms of our two goddesses. But you are "nameless". The picture will become less pretty, don't look for me if you have an opinion, find the black rabbit and say ......," Hakuyasha said.
