Chapter 39: The Ranch

My grandfather's ranch is located on the outskirts of Tokiwa City, so it's just a good walk to the west. Originally a large grassland, it gradually developed agriculture and animal husbandry as the city of Tokiwa became more prosperous, and then served as the city's granary, providing a steady supply of grain and meat.

"Alright, I'll send you here." Kamio's father puts his son down from the dragonfly.

"Won't Dad go in and have a look?" Sora asked as he put his bag on his back.

"Haha, no, no, I'd better wait for the Chinese New Year to visit again." Father Kamio smiled awkwardly and flew away without looking back.

What, don't sons-in-law and fathers-in-law all over the world deal with each other? Emptiness is not yet able to understand this.

Stepping here again, Sora felt a little unfamiliar. In fact, this is not wrong, because he only comes here during the New Year's holidays, and the deepest impression is his grandfather's sharp eyes and his grandmother's spoiling.

It had just rained on the grassland, but the rain had already faded on the way to get here, and soon the rain and fog were drifting, and it was hazy. When the sky landed, the sky was about to clear, and the dense dark clouds seemed to be soaring, and the color turned from black to white, and even his somewhat apprehensive mood became indifferent.

Suddenly, a long beam of light from the slanting sun shot through the invisible clouds onto the pasture. Then the clouds cracked, revealing a blue dome. At this time, a refreshing breeze blew, as if the earth was relieved to breathe a sigh of relief, stirring every grass here.

Sora and Nana took a deep breath in unison, only to feel that their bodies were filled with the fragrance of the rain, moist and refreshing.

"Whew——, let's go!"

"Bah!"

……

Follow the route in memory and walk on the country road.

Nana didn't like the muddy environment and climbed up on his shoulder early. The road was littered with the marks of trucks passing by, leaving ruts that cut deep trenches in the ground. Even so, Sora walked steadily, and he didn't even have to pay attention to the quagmire that might appear under his feet, because Nana's [Reflection Wall] was constantly laying where he was going, making him walk on the ground.

Sora finally walked to the door of his grandfather's house, but he was in trouble for a while, because he didn't see a doorbell after looking for a long time. Speaking of which, there are some places in the countryside where the people are really simple, not to mention the doorbell, and you don't even need a door lock. As a suburb of the city, there are few people in the first place, so there is no need to install it at all.

Let's go straight in, Mom has already called anyway. With that in mind, he pushed the door open.

"Wang!"

As soon as he entered the door, a black shadow rushed straight into the air.

"Bang!"

A wall of reflection appeared between them without a beat.

In nearly a month of training, Nana's ability to respond to emergencies has greatly improved, not only to protect herself, but also to protect her master.

"What the hell!" It feels very uncomfortable for Sora to be suddenly attacked, what is this, is it dismounted?

Orange hair, brown stripes, short flaxen hair on the head, and signature striking ears. Obviously, this is a catty dog.

Sora looked at the elf in front of him, but he didn't know that it was also observing Sora. The eyes of the two met in the air, and then Sora was glared at fiercely.

[glaring]? Sora was about to be laughed at, it was rare to come to my grandfather's place, I didn't expect the welcome to be so "warm". Case......

"Nana, teach it what politeness is!"

"Babble!" Nana has long seen that it is not pleasing to the eye, and anyone who wants to hurt Sora, all! Get! Die!

Without the owner's words, Nana immediately activated the [Shadow Ball], and the condensed dark matter instantly formed in the air, shooting at the catty dog with lightning speed.

In the face of Nana's attack, Cutty Dog did not want to resist, or rather, it also sensed that this elf was not easy to mess with, so it jumped sideways and passed by the [Shadow Ball]. But it didn't notice that the ruby on Nana's forehead was glowing.

"Huh-" The dodged [Shadow Ball] turned a corner and headed straight for the catty dog at a faster speed.

Direct hits!

"Whew!" The catty dog let out a scream, but that fueled its ferocity, and it stared at the sky viciously, then slammed into it.

Cut! Is it a wild elf without a trainer? Looking at the Katy dog rushing towards him, Sora didn't even have the idea of taking a step back, Nana wouldn't let this level of attack hurt him. On the contrary, he was a little strange as to why there was a wild Katy dog in his grandfather's house, and any elf who had been trained by a trainer would not rashly attack humans.

Sure enough, the cutty dog stopped half a meter in front of the air, and it was caught by Nana's [telekinesis].

"Smack!"

Nana slammed the catty dog to the ground and looked at it with disdain.

This time is not light, the power of Nana's [telekinesis] has been tested in the air, and there are 500kg of full force, and this power can easily break a small tree. Although Nana didn't kill just now, she saw that Sora was attacked and was angry, so she also had 300kg of output.

Ignoring the cutty dog who was beaten to the ground, he walked towards the house.

"Whew!"

When he saw the empty and was about to enter the house, the catty dog's eyes were red, and he roared and struggled to get up. It burst into flames and threw itself into the air again.

"Babble!" Nana, who didn't expect the enemy to be able to fight, hurriedly opened the [Reflection Wall], but although the [Reflection Wall] blocked the collision of the catty dog, it could not resist the flames on its body, and the high temperature on her face burned her and Sora enough.

Being attacked repeatedly, even the good-natured empty is a little annoyed. He pointed to the catty dog who was bound by [telekinesis] again, and gritted his teeth and said, "I said are you sick?" I'm here to visit my host! Got it! ”

"Woohoo!" The catty dog replied with a burst of barking, I don't understand!

That's enough, when grandpa comes, you must ask him what is going on. Before the empty side could figure out what to do with the wild elf, the catty dog made a move first.

It clenched its teeth and struggled to break free from the control of [Mental Power], and its whole body trembled slightly due to the excessive force.

"Whew-"

Finally, as if breaking some bottleneck, it roared in the sky and stretched violently to break free from Nana's restraints.

The air that was buzzed by the scream, and looked at the elf in front of him in disbelief, "[Resurrection]? ”

Cutty Dog was about to launch the next round of attacks, when he unexpectedly saw several transparent walls appear out of thin air around him, and he remembered this, which was the wall that the elf used to block itself three times and twice.

…… By the way, what about the elf?

Before it could react, it was overwhelmed by a storm of attacks.

Nana's figure had long been absent from her empty shoulders, and she was harassed again and again, and finally she couldn't sit still. So, when the [reflection wall] rises next to the catty dog, the one-sided abuse begins.

The sun elves use several walls as support points, and quickly jump back and forth around the catty dog, striking it hard when it gets the chance, using its claws, teeth, and tail, and the feline is full of their weapons. Unable to resist it, Cutty quickly fell to the ground, not touching Nana from beginning to end.

After the performance, Nana gracefully jumped back on her empty shoulders, and her ease was almost like a walk after a meal, without taking a breath. After more than a month of hard training, her improvement has been enormous.

The catty dog only felt that there was no pain in his body, and he struggled to get up, but he couldn't exert his strength, and could only make an unwilling "whining" sound.

"Haven't you lost consciousness yet?" Sora admired the elf's persistence, and he could see that the catty dog should have taken him for a thief or something, and didn't want him to enter his grandfather's house.

However, I'm not the owner of this place! The hollow collapsed for a while, and I felt like I had collapsed today. It doesn't matter if it rains when you go out, and you have a fight with the Katy dog who has always been docile, and the most important thing is that you haven't eaten lunch yet!

"Empty?" A tall figure walked in from outside the door.

"Grandpa?" Sora looked at the energetic old man in front of him in surprise, okay, I finally found you.

Then he noticed that his grandfather's face was flushing at a speed visible to the naked eye, a thunderous roar sounded in his ears, and he could even feel Nana's tremor on his shoulder.

"Are you going to demolish the house?"

The movement of the battle just now was too great, and the courtyard of my grandfather's house was in a mess.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" It took him a long time to bend over and apologize, and it took him a long time to regain consciousness, and he knew why his father didn't want to come.

Nana "snapped" to the ground, her eyes turned in circles, her hearing was more sensitive, the loud noise just now almost stunned her, and she was thrown to the ground without grabbing it.

Sora hurriedly picked up the dizzy little guy and shrunk to the side not daring to speak.

It's too strong to make the elves unconscious just by roaring!

Seeing his grandson's frightened look, a trace of regret flashed on the old man's face, but he was quickly replaced by sternness, and he said to Kong: "You! Follow me! ”

After speaking, he didn't care whether he could keep up with it or not, and strode towards the house.

"Yes!" Sora dared not obey and cautiously followed behind.

The two of them walked all the way to the storage room, and Sora was quickly attracted by the contents of it, there were many weapons hanging on the walls, almost all knives, guns and clubs could be found, and Sora even saw a whip, which did not even have a little dust on it, and it could be seen that the owner cherished it very much, and often wiped them.

"Pick it up!" After the old man finished speaking, he threw several medicine bottles in a row.

"Oh, good!" Picking it up empty-handed, although he had been deserting just now, his reaction speed was not covered.

Noticing his grandson's movements, the old man nodded imperceptibly, and then left the storage room with a heavy shovel himself.

Back in the yard, the catty dog had already gotten up, and it staggered to his grandfather's side, then sat down with difficulty.

Grandpa looked at the catty dog for a while, pointed at it and said to the air, "Green for internal use, red and yellow for external use." Do you understand? ”

"Huh?" Sora immediately reacted that his grandfather wanted to heal the elf himself, "Understood! ”

"Wow!"

Then, Sora saw the malicious eyes of the catty dog.
