At the door of the Eagle Division.

"Empty, after you go back, you can't slack off in your cultivation." Ying Sihong looked into his grandson's eyes, and the eyes of Furui Wubo were full of wisdom and vicissitudes, "This is a way of practice that needs to be adhered to despite all kinds of doubts and difficulties. ”

"I see, Grandpa!" Sora didn't say thank you or anything like that, he gathered all his gratitude into that deep bow.

"You take these." Grandpa said as he stuffed a large bag into his empty hand.

"Wow! It's so heavy! Sora almost didn't hold it, and Nana on her shoulder hurriedly used [telekinesis] to help her master share the weight.

"It's all something that can be used." Grandpa said lightly.

Then he noticed that the catty dog standing on the edge of the air was a little uneasy, and after thinking about it, he still squatted down and stroked her neck, and then said to her in a gentle tone that Sora had never heard before, "Don't worry, Sora will take care of you." ”

"Wow~" Nini showed a sad expression very humanely, she knew that she was leaving, it was the fate of the elves to follow the master on an adventure, and it was also her dream, but it was just ......

Some reluctance.

Whether it's people and people, or people and elves, or even elves and elves, after getting along for a long time, they can really cultivate feelings, or rather, friendship. When I was about to leave, I always felt a little nostalgic and guilty.

"Hey!" Empty picked up the depressed Nini, ignored her kicking and kicking, he held her tightly in his arms, put it in her ear and said, "Let's go, follow me home." ”

With that, he walked towards the car door.

On the other side, Suzuko Kamio watched his son say goodbye to the second elder, and bowed deeply to his parents: "I thank you for taking care of me these days." ”

"Suzuko! I'm going to be angry if you're so polite! Eagle Sihui feigned anger.

"Heh~ I'm relieved to see that my mother is still so energetic. So......" Suzuko Kamio's tone suddenly lowered, "goodbye, Mom...... Father. ”

"Be careful on the road." Takashi Megumi lovingly straightened her daughter's hair that was scattered across her forehead, and then watched her get into the car.

"......" Ying Sihong didn't say a word until his daughter left, but it could be seen from the hands he clenched tightly behind his back that his heart was not as calm as his face.

He is a stubborn person, stubborn people are very simple, simple people are very naïve, and naïve people are always easy to get hurt.

……

The car slowly drove towards the center of Tokiwa.

In the back seat, the hand holding Nini still did not let go, she has a psychological shadow of this kind of transportation, and she needs the owner to hug her to be quiet. But Nana, the little vinegar jar, couldn't look at it, and insisted on squeezing with her.

Your hands are so sore...... Hollow helpless, but the arm did not dare to relax for half a minute. Yes, the right should be practice.

"Sora, is this your new elf?" Kamio's mother, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked. At first, she thought it was a watchdog raised by her parents.

"Well, it's called Nini, her full name is Annie, and her personality is [stubborn]." Sora replied, and Nini heard her master call her name and licked him affectionately twice.

"She's very nice to you, she doesn't look like she just got subdued." Kamio's mother happened to see this scene in the rearview mirror.

"Of course, this is ......" didn't have time to say two words proudly, Nana and Nini pinched again, mainly because Nini wanted to lick her master a few more times, but Nana opened it with her head, and she told the other side with her own actions, my master is only I can lick!

"What is it?" Suzuko Kamio was curious.

"Well, it's the little ancestor I invited home...... Sora smiled bitterly as he pulled the two elves apart.

Mr. and Mrs. Kamio: "......"

Sora used his body to separate the two elves to prevent them from being "jealous", and then asked, "Why did you suddenly pick me up this time?" There should be two weeks left for the winter vacation. ”

"A week and a half to be exact, two days ago, when I was cleaning my room, I found that you left all your homework at home, are you not going to hand it in?" Kamio Suzuko also saw that there was a bit of a mismatch between this cat and a dog, but this was her son's own problem, she wouldn't interfere, she was more concerned about the empty learning problem.

"That's it?" To tell you the truth, I really don't plan to hand it in, and the winter vacation homework teacher doesn't (almost) look at it.

Then he saw his mother pointing at his father and continued: "This is only one reason, and the other one has to ask your father, in fact, he has to take you back." ”

So, Sora listened to his father's explanation: "That's the case, when the new attribute of [Steel] was announced before, didn't the teacher promise to give you a gift, and now that thing can be put into use, so I thought about finding a time to bring you back." ”

"Gifts?" If it hadn't been for Dad's reminder, Sora would have forgotten about it. But when it comes to putting it into use, it can't be that, right?

……

The car stopped safely in front of Kamio's house, and Kamio's father put the two down and left, Dr. Oki still needed his help. On the way, I also heard him say that the preliminary collection of elf information in the Guandu region has been basically completed, which means that my father doesn't need to travel often, and as for Chengdu, Fangyuan, Sinnoh and other areas, there are naturally other assistants who are working hard.

"It's finally home." Sora rubbed his sour arm, he was tossed by Nana and Nini along the way. "Nana, grab your bag and be careful not to fall to the ground."

"Bah!" As soon as Nana's [telekinesis] moved, the luggage on the ground floated one by one, slowly following her. When I passed by the catty dog, I didn't forget to throw her a high-spirited look.

I can help my master get so many things, can you!

"Woo~" Nini suddenly bared her teeth in anger, but she also had to admit that she really couldn't help, so she could only watch this scheming meow pass in front of her.

Sora doesn't know anything about what's going on behind him, and he thinks about whether to tear up his winter vacation homework, and then tells the teacher that he was torn up by Meow and Wang at home when they fight.

Why don't you just let Nini spit out the fire, it's more convenient. Thinking that he had come to his room on the second floor, he saw that the catty dog was following him closely and did not dare to run around, and said to her with a smile: "Nini, this is your new home, do you like it?" ”

"Wow~" Nini's cry was weak, not because she suddenly felt strange and uneasy here, but because the furnishings of Kamio's house were too similar to a place in her memory, which evoked some bad memories for her.

Will you make me a little house? She remembered her former dwelling (dog house), which was dark and damp, and at night it was as if she had been abandoned by the world, and it was very lonely.

"You'll sleep here from now on!" Sora took another small pillow out of the cupboard, pointed to his bed and said to Nini. He likes to sleep with his elves, it's warm and comfortable.

"Wang!" Hearing what the master said, Nini suddenly became happy, and even Nana's unkind eyes on the side were subconsciously ignored by her.

In fact, even if there is no place to stay, as long as you are by your side, it is very reassuring.

……

There's a new elf in the house, and of course Mother Kamio has to make some preparations. Let's not talk about anything else, food is the first place, you can't let Nini ** spirit food every day, even if she doesn't care about it, she will definitely be reluctant. Let the elves train and fight desperately, and give them food like cat food and dog food when they are done, and it will be difficult for him to obey his fate.

So Kamio's mother went to the nearby supermarket to buy things in the afternoon, and she already knew that Nini's character was [stubborn] and liked to eat spicy things. Considering that the Cutty Dog is a fire-type four-legged beast-shaped elf, the target of the purchase is already clear - meat and spicy spices.

Sora took Nini to familiarize herself with the new environment at home, from the bedroom to the bathroom, and then from the bathroom to the living room, and even the storage room. He also made a point to let her get acquainted with the walking grass in the backyard, so that one day Nini would burn it as an intruder. But unfortunately, although Nini is very interested in this moving plant, the walking grass is probably due to the innate fear of fire in the grass, burying herself in the soil and shivering, but she refuses to come out.

After taking Nini for a walk around the house and preparing her own towels and brushes, Sora finally had time to see what was in her grandfather's gift bag.

"Bow? Bow again? How is it still a bow? In one go, he took out four bows of various sizes. He checked it out, three wooden recurve bows, and one metal compound bow. I can't see the specific materials, but it's not easy to start, the toughness is very good, and the quality of the things sent by the grandfather of the big landlord is definitely not ordinary.

"Grandpa is really thoughtful~" Sora sighed. His body is not open yet, and the bows he uses are all specially made, and his grandfather's posture should be ready for all the bows he will use at all stages. As for the last compound bow, it should be deliberately placed in it considering that after he becomes an official trainer in the future, he may go deep into various no-man's lands.

The compound bow is higher than the recurve bow in terms of shooting accuracy and shooting distance, but Ying Sihong only prepared one for Sora, and depending on the size of the bow body, he could not use it until his grandson was at least ten years old. It's not that he's stingy, it's the expectation of Eagle Sihong, who is his grandfather, for the air.

The difference between a compound bow and a recurve bow is like the difference between an automatic transmission and a manual transmission car. If Sora just practiced archery for the purpose of playing, then the compound bow was just right for him, but on the other hand, his grandfather would not teach him a serious lesson, and there was no way to talk about the family studies of the Eagle Division. Now that he has decided to follow this path, there is no room for opportunistic shortcuts in his practice.

There are also a lot of accessories related to bows and arrows in the bag, and they are all good things related to capture and survival in the wild. He put the accessories in order and put them in the cupboard, and in the short term all he needed was a bow and arrows.

After that, he sent another message to Xiao Mao, telling him that he would be a guest at his house tomorrow, so that he could be prepared. After waiting for a while, Xiaomao didn't reply.

Haven't you come back from the capital yet? Hollow thought to himself, probably training.

"Empty! Let's help mom get something! ”

At this time, the voice of Shenwei's mother came from downstairs, and she closed the computer and responded, "Come soon!" ”

It seems that my mother has purchased a lot.
