The end of the world, near the Tuoli Tunis Falls.

Standing in the treetops, Yakumo Mo let the wet moisture wet his hair and clothes, his eyes carefully searching for everything in the vicinity.

Opposite him, below the Great Falls, Snow White stood playfully.

In the jungle on the shore, the black rabbit's ears moved, and his eyes moved back and forth on Yakumo and Shirayukihime.

【Gift Game: Flowers on the Lake】

[List of participants: "NoName" Yakumo Mo]

[Organizer: "Snow White, Lord of Toli Tunisian Waterfalls"]

[Clearance Conditions: Get the daffodil eggs and make them bloom on the surface of the water]

[Defeat conditions: If the contestant fails to meet the victory conditions before noon, and the contestant is unable to meet the victory conditions]

[Stage supplement: 1. As an iron rule for contestants, they must not go beyond a radius of 1,000 meters from Toli Tunisia Waterfall. 2. As the iron rule of the organizer, it is necessary to ensure that there are daffodils and flowers in the game field.

[Oath! Respect the above, and hold a boon game in the name of glory and flag and the rights of the organizers.

This is Bai Xueji's request to Yakumo Mo.

As long as Yakumo Mo wins this boon game, Bai Yukihime will become Yakumo Mo's servant.

"Huh?"

Raising his hand, Yakumo grabbed at the river.

Under the cracked clods, small flaxen-colored buds soared into the air and took off into Yakumo Mo's hands.

"Black Rabbit. Are you sure this is a daffodil? ”

“YES！ You can't go wrong with this is a daffodil! ”

The black rabbit replied cutely with an index finger.

"So, the next question is to make it bloom...... But there's no clue at all......"

"Lord Yakumo, although the black rabbit as the referee is Lord Yakumo's companion, I can't tell you the details, specifically it depends on your wisdom Lord Yakumo!"

Yakumo frowned in annoyance.

Let the flowers bloom, in theory. All flowers have their own fixed flowering season.

If the season is not in season, it is not impossible to make the flowers bloom - humans from the outside world can still grow vegetables that are out of season - but after all, it is a troublesome thing.

"So, maybe just speed up time and simulate different seasons at the same time?"

Yakumo muttered.

Jump off the treetops, plant the buds in your hands on the ground, and—

The flat arms emitted a demonic power that disturbed the air.

Under the influence of demonic powers. A small space centered on the flower buds is clearly beginning to change.

On the side, the white snow under the waterfall widened her eyes.

"It's only a small scale of time control and seasonal warping, but it's possible...... It is worthy of Lord Hakura, who is also admired by Lord Hakura. ”

In Bai Xueji's heart, the dissatisfaction with surrendering to Yakumo completely dissipated, but-

"This method won't work, Yakumo-sama......"

The amber snake's vertical pupils showed a look of good play.

Under the disturbance of Yakumo Mo's demonic power, the environment around the flower buds is constantly changing in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and time accelerates.

However, the buds did not open. Instead, he died.

"Ahh Yakumo-sama's method seems to be wrong. Black Rabbit frowned in distress, knowing the way to win but not revealing it because of the identity of the referee, this feeling made Black Rabbit feel entangled for a while.

"Isn't the opening condition a specific season and time, but something else?"

Looking at the dead buds on the ground, Yakumo Mo shook his head.

"Shhhhhh

Stretching out his hand, the power of the realm, combined with the special power belonging to the flower demon that he once obtained from Yuxiang, brought the dead flower buds back to life.

Keep your head up. Yakumo looked around.

Today's sun is strong, and the flow of the big river is fast though. However, the nearby swamp is a slow-flowing swamp due to the clumps of daffodils.

"Ahhhh I really want to bask in the sun, I want to make black tea, I want to sleep in! ”

Because of the fruitless thoughts, Yakumo was a little entangled and pulled his long hair with both hands.

"The Flower of the Lake...... Flowers on the Lake...... Well? On the lake? ”

Below the Toli Tunis Falls, there is no lake, only a river.

The average person will not particularly notice the difference between a lake and a river, but -

It has been confirmed that daffodils are plants that grow in clusters near rivers. However, the name of the game is "Flower on the Lake".

"Lord Yakumo, although the black rabbit as a referee can't tell you the method directly, I can tell you that the rules of this game are absolutely fair, and it is absolutely possible to let the daffodil eggs bloom before noon! Come on, Lord Yakumo! ”

The black rabbit not far away kept cheering Yakumo up.

Yakumo continued to think-

The rules say. To bloom on the surface of the water, but the point where the buds are found is in the water.

[In other words, is the opening condition due to the change in location?] 】

- There are no lakes near the river.

- The buds do not bloom in the water, but on the surface of the water.

"I see, the opening conditions are not a specific time and season, but the location, that is, the change of the environment? Daffodil eggs are originally flowers that bloom near rivers, but when the depth changes due to the increase in the amount of water such as heavy rain, and when the flower buds in the water are washed into deep ditches, the flower buds will bloom acutely on the surface of the water in order to preserve the seeds......"

"That's right!"

Bai Xueji appeared beside Yakumo at some point, looking at each other with a smile.

"It's Yakumo-sama, and he really has a good mind. However, there is no lake here, so what is Yakumo-sama going to do? ”

Yakumo laughed, "There is nothing in this world that can't be solved with one fist, if there is, then two punches!" ”

"It's hard, can you say ——!??"

"Boom ——!!!!"

In Bai Xueji's surprised gaze, Yakumo threw the daffodil egg into the air, and then punched the river bank in front of him.

The cannonballs condensed by the demonic power smashed into the ground, and the banks of the river with strong shock waves cracked, and the cracks cleverly moved forward in a straight line on a blasting scale.

Sand and earth sand spewed out from it, and it continued to advance through the forest.

The river began to flow into the crevices that had suddenly appeared in the banks.

"Look, isn't there a lake?"

◇

"So, welcome Bai Xueji to officially join us!!"

- That night, [NONAME] held a small banquet.

In addition to celebrating the joining of Snow White, there is also an element of celebration for the community to become the ruler of the territory.

After arranging a lot of dishes that are not usually available, everyone and the senior group toasted together.

"Yakumo! Don't drink black tea! Let's have a toast! ”

"Woooo Sixteen Nights, you just want to see my jokes, don't you? ”

"Ahaha! Was it discovered? ”

"You should reflect on it!"

"No, I'm not reflecting at all!"

……

In front of the grill, Black Rabbit is cooking fish caught from the river with Leticia, Snow White and Pest, who are dressed as maids.

At this time, Ren suddenly clapped his hands and said, "By the way, the [Eagle Lion with Dragon Horns] alliance in the south sent an invitation to the harvest festival, because it is sponsored by the alliance, so there are a lot of gift games to send harvest goods, if we can make a profit, the abandoned land in the farm park can be completely restored!" ”

"Hey, huh? In that case, do you want to reclaim a special area? Asukina asked suddenly.

Asuka approached: "What to plant?" ”

Asukina nodded her lips and thought, "Some spiritual plants? You can also make money this way. ”

“Mandragora？”

“Mandrake？”

“Man?eater？”

“Yes！ It's a great idea! The black rabbit clapped his hands, "But isn't the last one weird?" Cannibals can't be left to children to take care of! And neither are the first two super dangerous ones. ”

“…… So, Rabbit? Eater？ Yakumo shook the teacup in his hand and laughed.

"Why is it rabbit-eating grass!! How could such a strange and dangerous unknown creature exist!! ”

Paper fan beating.

Subsequently, the Black Rabbit opened the invitation and began to explain carefully:

"This invitation, we started the night before. However, the organizer will bear the cost of travel and accommodation, which is an unusually unimaginable VIP treatment as [NoName]! The venue is Underwood Falls, which has one of the best views on the south side! It is a stage with a degree of moving trees and rivers that are not lost to the realm wall! Everyone is sure to have a great time! But there's one more problem......"

"Question?" ””

"Yes. This harvest festival is scheduled to be held 20 days later, and on the 25th of the eve festival. Although they want to participate in a game of this scale, the main force of the community cannot go out for a long time. So I want to stay here alone with Leticia......"

"Ahh

Yakumo waved his hand, then pulled out a card.

"What is this?" Sixteen Nights immediately came up and snatched it away.

"New Year's money?"

"Prayer card?"

"Solitaire?"

"It's a spell card!!

Yakumo snatched the spell card back and threw it to Leticia.

"If it's dangerous, just activate this spell card, not only can I resist the attack temporarily, but I can also receive the message at the same time, and I can rush back with everyone at any time."

Jen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want such a good celebration to have someone to stay alone and not be able to participate.

"In that case, let's get ready to have fun together!" (To be continued.) )
