Alola, the former headquarters of the Sharpshark team, is now the headquarters of the other side.

In front of the gate of the [Other Shore] headquarters, there stood a blond young man with a sword at his waist, Chitose.

Early this morning, he was sent here by Peony, saying that he was waiting for a distinguished guest who would come to the door today.

But now the sky is already full of stars, and the so-called distinguished guest still has not come to visit, and the cold sea breeze blows Chitose's face, and he has a lot of thoughts for a while.

Since the last operation in Miare, Chitose has been living in the headquarters of this [other side], and there have been no assignments assigned to him during this period.

The only forces on the other side that are now operating outside are the elite members of the Nishikori clan and the Hayakawa clan, who frequently cause some small disturbances in various places, and then deliberately release them to the intelligence department of the [Eight Masterpieces].

Of course, such a small turmoil will not only attract the attention of the [Eight Masters], but also the attention of the Elf Alliance, but now the actions of the [Other Shore] are nothing more than friction between small organizations in the eyes of the Alliance.

[Ah, when is such a boring life the end?] 】

Chitose leaned against the door behind him, complaining to himself that he had been longing for the Carlos region during this time, because the upcoming Miarei convention there would be attended by his traveling companions.

Kenji Iwakura.

Even after joining [The Other Side], Chitose and Kenji still kept in touch, but whenever Kenji talked about the two of them getting together, Chitose would always use various reasons to shirk it.

In addition to Kenji, Chitose also has a purple figure in his heart, and he wants to contact him countless times, but every time he is about to dial out that communication, his fingers always pause.

Chitose knows very well, where can he and Wuyue meet now? Once we meet, we may face each other.

He has joined the [Other Shore], he is already in another world, he is on the opposite side of the whole world, and he and the [Three Artifacts] clan have long stood on two very different paths.

Far away, at the pier of a section of the island, which is neither big nor small, a speedboat slowly docked.

The gas lamp of the lighthouse is like a sword of brilliance, spinning and cutting through the darkness, cutting into the dock, cutting out a thin and straight silhouette.

A waist-length blond man in a red outfit suddenly appeared in the light, standing alone on the dock with his hands in his pockets and the collar of his trench coat to ward off the cool breeze.

The hand hidden in his pocket gently stroked the ancient silver ring on his left index finger, his golden eyes narrowed into a slit, and he turned his head to look at the sea.

The lenses of the brown glasses looked out at the sea, and the previously calm sea was now undulating uneasily like a puddle of boiling water, which was a sign of an impending storm, "Storm?" It's also a good time. ”

Most of the ships had already entered the harbor, and the distant sea was empty except for the round spots of light imprinted by the miserable white light.

"It's coming!"

The man didn't hide his aura, and as soon as he stepped onto the island, the corners of Chitose's eyes jumped slightly, and he could feel a chill in the aura, which made the air around him become solemn.

[It seems that this so-called distinguished guest is not a good person. 】

In just a few seconds, Chitose judged everything in his heart, and was about to smile and step forward to greet him, but the whole person suddenly froze, the smile on his face had disappeared, and he was replaced by a ghostly expression.

yes, hell with it.

The man's face was very similar to the man on a mural enshrined by the Nishikori clan, whose name was Ashu Cleminsson, who could be regarded as the ancestor of the remnants of this world [on the other side].

But this man must have died hundreds of years ago, how could he appear in front of him now?

"What? Peony sent such a little ghost of you to stop me? ”

Like a ghost, Ah Xiu came to Chitose's side in an instant, and the distance between the two was only a few centimeters.

The lighthouse's gas lamp turned around at this moment, sweeping over where Chitose and Ashu were, and behind Ashu, a green light and shadow ten meters high were illuminated.

This light and shadow appeared silently, like a strange ghost, and at this moment the light and shadow were looking at Chitose with its empty eyes.

【！ 】

Chitose took dozens of steps back, and his right hand subconsciously rested on the hilt of the [Shadow Show] knife on his waist, and then he continued to gasp for breath, his face was shocked and pale.

The empty eyes are like two bottomless whirlpools, and if you look at them, your soul will sink into them.

"You?" Chitose opened his mouth to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything, and spit out a word as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"[Shadow Show]? We're old friends. ”

Ah Xiu's gaze fell on the hilt of the knife on Chitose's waist, and the look in his eyes brought a hint of nostalgia, he reached out and patted Chitose on the shoulder, "I'm here to find Peony, it's better for the little ghost to be an audience on the side." ”

"Chitose, people are guests from afar, how can they be so lazy?"

Peony's voice suddenly appeared in the ears of Chitose and Ah Xiu, she came between the two silently, her movements were as fast as flying stars and moons, and she raised her hand to pull Chitose out of Ah Xiu's hands.

"Peony-sama!" After being pulled out of Ah Xiu's side by Peony, Chitose greeted Peony respectfully as if he had returned to his senses.

"Peony, you are still the same as before, the seals of the [Eight Masterpieces] and the [Three Artifacts] are really a good thing." Ah Xiu turned his head to look at Peony, looked up and down, and then commented, "It is actually possible to freeze the time of the sealed person at the moment when it is sealed. ”

"Lord Ashu is not the same as before, and he will actually attack a little minion."

Peony is the most cautious member of the [Other Shore] four, from completely breaking the seal to the present, she has always used dolls to show people, and the beautiful woman before was also one of her dolls-

And now the peony is finally showing its true face.

This is an ordinary-looking black-haired woman, her eyes are dark, the lines of her cheeks are soft and clear, and her figure is well-proportioned, she took out an ivory-inlaid gold pocket watch from her pocket and looked at it, "The time is just right, at this point, we can sit down and have a good dinner." ”

"Do you still have this pocket watch?"

Seeing Peony take out the special material pocket watch, Ah Xiu's eyes changed, and this pocket watch reminded him a lot.

"Of course, after all, this is the first gift you gave me." Peony smiled and reached out to rub it on the pocket watch, which looked like some kind of treasure.

"Since you showed up as your real person, then you should know the purpose of my visit this time."

Ah Xiu is not a nostalgic person, he cut straight to the topic, took a deep breath, and returned everything to the point.
