When it was almost dawn, it was raining outside the window.

Water droplets hit the bedroom window, dripping.

Sora woke up from his sleep and touched it in his arms, the warm and soft touch reminding him that Nana was there.

With a few faint rays of light, he saw that the hour hand of the alarm clock was about to pass 4 o'clock.

I can't do morning exercise this morning...... He thought in a trance, and was about to put on the quilt and go back to sleep, when he suddenly noticed a pair of big black eyes staring at him in the quilt.

"Sleep a little longer, it's still early." He pinched her long ears and said softly.

Hearing this, Nana shrank back, obediently resting her head on her empty chest and closing her eyes.

……

When they woke up again, it was already past 6 o'clock. Sora put on her clothes haphazardly, then shook Nana out of the covers, carried her neck and put it on her shoulder, and washed.

When I went downstairs, I saw the walking grass sitting alone on the steps under the eaves, looking at the rain curtain in a daze.

I like water, but too much of it can be uncomfortable.

Sora walked over and sat down beside it, Nana had already woken up after being tossed by him for a long time, and slid down Sora's arm into his arms, watching the rain together.

Hearing the comer, he turned his head sideways, saw that it was empty, and turned back. Its two small feet were exposed outside the steps, tiptoeing one after another, somewhat pleasantly.

The rain kept falling, and there was no intention of stopping.

Staring intently at a certain part of the courtyard, his eyes seemed to lose focus. In his perception, time seemed to become fast and slow, and even the rain in front of him became strange, sometimes connected in a line, sometimes dripping clearly.

The world seems to be ...... Different?

He closed his eyes suddenly, and in the darkness there was only the sound of water droplets lapping on the ground.

Tick, tick......

The rain was loud, but the empty heart was quiet. He gave up his distractions and focused on his hearing, and slowly, the sound of rain was no longer in his ears.

Plop, plop. It was the sound of his heartbeat, firm and rhythmic.

Purr, purr. It was Nana's breathing, and Sora was all too familiar.

Woo-woo-woo is so long, each breath seems to fill the whole body, and only the walking grass on the side can do it.

More and more voices were coming to his ears, or rather they had been there, but they were just indistinguishable.

In this world, trainers and elves live together, fight side by side, and live and die together. After countless trials and challenges, not only the elves have grown, but even the trainers themselves have undergone transformation. This change is subtle, and if it weren't for the opportunity to watch the rain today, Sora might not have discovered it until much later.

It's different, it's himself.

Sora's attention and reflexes have improved, and with it, more powerful information processing and thinking skills have followed. This is probably one of the gains brought to him by the trip to Mt. Tsukimi. In the long run, maybe Sora can really reach the level of Neo's bullet time in "The Matrix".

"Empty? So you're here. As soon as Sora got out of that wonderful state, Mother Kamio's voice sounded from behind.

"Breakfast is ready, do you want me to bring it here?" Suzuko Kamio asked when she saw her son watching the rain in fascination.

"No, I'll do it myself." I have the heart to experience the changes in my body again, but I also know that I am not in a hurry for this time.

He ran to the kitchen and brought breakfast to himself and Nana, and specially prepared one for walking grass.

Generally speaking, grass elves can live without eating as long as they can photosynthesize, but with only the two of them eating, it is too pitiful to let the walking grass work on the side.

He returned to his original position with a large plate full of empty water, and divided the food on the plate among the two elves.

Nana looks like a cat, but she doesn't like fish, she prefers sweet and fluffy food, like cakes, muffins, etc. Kamio's mother also knows this and prepares a strawberry cake for her. Empty of yourself is a large sandwich with lots of fresh ingredients like ham, lettuce, cucumber, and a salad dressing in the middle, perfect for breakfast.

It's a little easier to walk grass, and there is no food specially prepared for grass elves at home, so Sora took two slices of bread from the kitchen. He didn't dare to add things like bacon and ham, because he wasn't sure if it ate meat or not, but he saw that this walking grass had a character that was "easy to be lonely" and should love spicy food, so he spread hot sauce on his bread.

As he handed the bread to the walking grass, he wondered if people would like the dark dish of bread with hot sauce. As a result, Walkgrass first looked at him suspiciously, as if asking, "Do you even have me?" and happily took it after getting the affirmation. It has an interesting way of eating, and although it has no hands, it slowly stuffs food into its mouth with a long leaf rolled around its head. It's a simple bread, but it tastes delicious, and as a wild elf, it's probably never tasted grain.

Although Sora didn't mean to subdue this walking grass, after seeing this scene, it was inevitable that he wanted to feed it more.

After breakfast, it was still early for school, and Sora was thinking about how to train Nana. Originally, I was going to go to the Tokiwa Forest to practice with wild elves, but the alliance wished that there were trainers who would do it, and it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to regularly clean up the outer areas of the forest, and if a powerful elf was found to run out, it would have to be announced, and an experienced trainer would have to deal with it.

He looked at the rain curtain and suddenly had an idea.

"Nana, [telekinesis] maximum effort, towards the sky." Null indication.

"Bah!" The Sun Elf nodded, brewing a move, the beads on her forehead shining brighter and brighter as time passed.

"Wow-"

The long-accumulated bullet was more powerful than Sora had imagined, and a vacuum of rain formed in its path, and it gradually dissipated after a long arc.

[Mental power] is a very magical power, it is formless and substantial, but it can interfere with real things. He remembered a previous life, and the word was first derived from the Greek word for "psyche," which meant thought, soul, and life. Originally, it could not be observed with the naked eye, but in this rain curtain, it clearly showed its posture.

"Nana, go on! Be fast this time! Sora said.

"Wow-" Nana unleashed her skill again.

"Come again!"

"Wow-"

"Don't stop!"

……

The rain curtain was torn open and closed again and again, until Nana felt a palpable sense of exhaustion that Sora stopped her.

He could see very clearly that if [telekinesis] was shot as a bullet, Nana's current strength could be released up to about 30 times, and the distance could reach up to 15 meters, and the power could not be felt for the time being, and further testing was needed.

The shape of the bullet is more like a shock wave, which will gradually dissipate as it is further away from the body. In general, if you attack the enemy directly, the forces are too scattered and may not be very useful. But on the other hand, it has no substance, it is just a manifestation of force, so it is very fast, and it may have a surprising effect.

Of course, the wonderful use of [telekinesis] is not limited to this, and its most talked about is actually teleportation.

"Nana, can [Mental Power] still be used?" Sora asked.

Thanks to Nana's rapidly growing intelligence, she didn't have much trouble understanding this sentence. The [telekinesis] bullet just now consumed a lot of her mental power, and the orb on her forehead became a little dim. But for the sake of emptiness and for herself, she nodded without hesitation.

"Then try to catch the rain with [telekinesis]." Sora saw the determination in her eyes, and he respected Nana's choice.

The orb on her head shimmered again.

So, in the hollow eye, it seems that someone has spread a big net in the heavy rain, an invisible, impermeable net.

Raindrops "crackled" against the net, some scattered, some bounced, but more fell into the net and converged into a water ball, floating eerily in mid-air.

Too...... It's amazing! Empty sigh.

With such a shocking effect just for the most superficial use, [Mental Power] is this power with infinite possibilities.

As the rain gathered more and more in the net, Nana became more and more struggling, and she unconsciously gritted her teeth and held on silently.

"It's okay, Nana." Sora didn't know what would happen if Nana ran out of mental power, he didn't dare to try, and he didn't want to try.

"Bah!" Hearing this, Nana abruptly withdrew control of her telekinesis and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath, the drastic reduction in mental power had a great impact on her.

Losing the restraint of [telekinesis], the water balloon only stayed in the air for half a second before "brushing" and falling. The splash of water splashed on them, and the cold and damp touch was very uncomfortable.

"Nana!" Sora picked up the detached sun elf and ran towards the bathroom. Leaving a small walking grass, he shook off the rain on the leaves, and watched them go away in ignorance.

In the bathroom, Sora turned on the hot water switch and wrapped Nana in a wide dry towel and put it on the heater. The body is tired and drenched in the rain, and it is easy to catch a cold.

While the bathtub was filled with water, Sora carefully wiped off the water stains on Nana's body, and watched her trembling body slowly calm down before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Nana's physique is not good, and Sora finds that she seems to have neglected the exercise of her body all along, and she can't defeat her opponent with only powerful moves.

I tried the temperature of the water, but the slightly hot touch is just right now, so I took off my clothes and soaked in it with Nana.

"Babble~" Wrapped in warm bath water, Nana let out a comfortable moan.

Sora scooped up a handful of water and slowly poured it over her head, the water slid down her neck and down into the tub.

Nana turned her head, narrowed her eyes and looked at the air, [telekinesis] moved with her heart.

A small cloud of warm water floats out of thin air and then spills on the empty head.

Feeling the warmth on his face, Sora was a little relieved, he used to wash Nana, and now she can bathe herself.

After soaking for a while to warm up his body, Sora and the Sun Elf came out of the bathroom. I wrapped myself in a bath towel and went upstairs to change into dry clothes and go to school.
