Puff, puff.

The sound of the heart beating is particularly loud.

The wide, empty hallway echoed with the sound of piano's boots on the ground.

As always, the crimson military uniform was draped over the shoulders, but instead of being draped over the shoulders as before, it was dressed extremely neatly, and every button was properly buttoned.

There is also no signature Jumbo Orb in his mouth.

[Really, I've been here several times, why are I still so nervous-]

Complaining to herself, Kotori raised her eyes and looked ahead.

There, at the end of the hallway, there was a door.

"Buckle-"

"Wuhe Qinli, come and see you."

After a while, a man's voice came from behind the door.

"Please come in."

"Yes!"

Pushing open the door, Kotori entered the room.

It is like a study, surrounded by bookshelves, and if you look closely, you will find that those books are all related to various myths, legends, and mysterious events around the world.

Plus, there were a lot of notes - all about elves.

In the depths of the room, a middle-aged man sits.

Half-white hair and beard, gentle eyes.

He is about 50 years old.

Speaker of the Rounds, Elliott? Woodman.

The founder of the Ratatoskr Agency, the great benefactor of the Jean.

"Long time no see, Commander Five Rivers."

With a "snap", Kotori closed her legs and made a beautiful salute.

"Long time gone, Woodman."

"Hehehe, you seem to have encountered some problems in your work lately." Woodman tapped lightly on the tabletop. There was a rhythmic percussion sound," the person below reported the appearance of an unexpected figure. ”

"Yes, Woodman."

Kotori understood that what Woodman was referring to was Yakumo and Asuka.

"Still. That's not a bad thing either. In addition to allowing us to broaden our horizons, it has also greatly improved our work. ”

"I've received a report on this, it's about the cause of the space earthquake......

"Yes!"

Woodman stroked the beard off his chin and groaned for a while.

"So, for the youkai from another world, and his wife...... By the way, they have a little girl with them, right? What do you think of them? Commander of the Five Rivers. ”

What do you think?

Koto thought of the situation when she and Yakumo got along with them.

"That's someone who can communicate and live in peace. At the same time, the elves followed them. It seems to be another way to deal with sprites. ”

"What do you mean...... Nightmare and Diva? ”

"Yes!"

"However, according to the latest report, it seems that in addition to Nightmare and Diva, there is another pair of elves."

"Excuse me, what does extra mean?"

"Berserk, who appeared in Okinawa, sent back a message from Commander Murayu that this pair of elves is now also following Yakumo Mo."

Okinawa?

Isn't that the place where the scholars traveled to study?

"Shidao ......"

Subconsciously. Koto whispered Shido's name.

The room was quiet, and Woodman could hear the piano clearly.

I know the girl in front of me. Woodman, who had a different emotion for the brother-in-law in the family, looked at the piano and laughed as if he were a granddaughter.

"Speaking of which, that Wuhe Shidao seems to have encountered something very interesting recently."

"What is it?"

When it comes to the Five Rivers Shido, it seems that even honorifics have been omitted in the piano.

"Look at this."

Receiving the report handed by Woodman, Jean immediately exclaimed.

"What's going on!?"

On the first page of the report. It is a photograph of Shiori Gogawa.

Then, Kotori looked at it quickly.

After reading it, the expression on the girl's face was very subtle.

Shidao, his brother, actually became Shiori......

Look at the report that records these days in detail. Shiori's life was full of all kinds of joy, and Kotori didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.

Fortunately, the above also shows that this transformation situation seems to have a time limit.

But, even so—

"Yakumo is such a mess!"

Putting down the report, Kotori looked a little worried.

"Wouldn't that strange transformation potion cause any danger to Shidao's body!?"

"Commander Murayu has already checked it in detail, that Wuhe-kun, ah, it should be called Miss Wuhe now, there is nothing wrong with her body."

"Woodman!"

Hearing the teasing meaning of Woodman's words, Jean rolled her eyes.

"Hehehe...... Okay, let's not talk about that, Commander Gokawa, can you arrange for me to meet that Yakumo? ”

Jean was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I know, I'll arrange it."

"Then, it's you, Commander Wuhe, you haven't had any health problems recently, right?"

Woodman was referring to the power of the elves in Jean.

In fact, Jean is to identify the elf named Efreet.

"Yes, no problem. I'm ashamed to care about you. ”

"No, I don't. I'm sorry to push yourself too hard. ”

Saying this, stroking his beard, Woodman let out a low sigh.

"If there is a second way to solve the elven problem peacefully, you don't have to be in such a difficult position."

Kotori lowered her head, her face changing.

Shido, her favorite brother, is responsible for sealing the spiritual power of the elves.

However, the spiritual power is sealed, but not gone, it still exists.

The spiritual power that is sealed will be stored in Shidao's body.

And over time, the likelihood of an outbreak of danger increases.

When the situation is really at its most urgent, Kotori, the sister of Gokawa Shido, needs to personally take responsibility for killing Gokawa Shido.

This was clear to Kotori from the very beginning.

This feeling has been tormenting Koto's heart all along.

It wasn't until Yakumo Mo appeared that Koto saw another way to deal with elves peacefully.

"Woodman, if it is finally confirmed, it is really possible to resolve the elf incident peacefully through Guò Yakumo, I hope ......"

"I understand, when the time comes, your brother will live an ordinary life again, and he will not encounter any danger again."

…… With tears in the corners of his eyes, he let out a heavy "um" in the piano.

◇

The vacation in Okinawa is over.

The time is exactly the same as Shiori's school trip.

Therefore, Yakumo and Shiori took the plane back to Tiangong City together.

It's just that compared with when they came, on the way back, there were more Eight Dance Sisters.

The Yachi sisters, who have solved the problem of "the body will reintegrate in the future", which has been bothering them, are very enthusiastic about Yakumo Momo.

"Kuhehehehehe, as the son of a concubine, you will obediently accept the service of the concubine!"

Yakuya, who was squatting beside Yakumo, tried to beat his legs like a maid.

Then, as a matter of course, Yakumo took the gaze of half of the guests on the plane.

Of course, the eyes of the other half were drawn to the lily Shura field of Shiori, Origami, and Ten Incense.

The Eight Dance Sisters who followed Ya Yunmo seemed to have decided to be a maid to repay this kindness.

Even after being rejected countless times, he still persevered.

Yakumo Mo, who had a headache, could only let it go in the end, as long as the twins didn't cause any big trouble, let them go.

In addition to being extremely attentive to Yakumo Mo, he also expressed great enthusiasm for Asudaya - Yakumo Mo's wife - Yakumo Sisters - Xiàn.

"It's the same way. As the wife of the childe, that is naturally the object of my service! ”

Surrounding Asujina is Yuxian.

Behind him, there is the crazy three who have been watching the show, the puzzled Aster, and the aggrieved Mijiu.

After the matter of the Eight Dance Sisters is resolved, Miku tries to admit the Eight Dance Sisters to the Hou (Divine Beast) Palace.

And then, unsurprisingly, it was rejected.

"The concubine's son is better looking than you, why should the concubine give up her son to join your queen (divine beast) palace?"

"Description. Yuxian will not betray Childe! ”

Miku, who has suffered a huge blow, looks at Yakumo with a gaze that loves and hates.

It's just that this situation didn't last long before it changed dramatically, and Miku seemed to be happy again.

This child-like behavior made Kurumi curious, and it was rare that Kurumi took the initiative to ask Mijiu.

Regarding Kurumi's doubts, Miku replied like this:

"As long as you follow Mo Sauce, you can go to Gensokyo, there are so many girls there, are you afraid that you won't be able to find someone who can be included in the Hou (Divine Beast) Palace by us?"

"Aha, ahahaha......"

Crazy three in embarrassment, pulling the corners of his mouth to divert his gaze.

Really...... Miku's unique answer. (To be continued......)

PS：poi~~

As the title says, let's start trying to try three chapters a day...... Of course, there is no guarantee that this situation will last long......
