"I'm sorry for letting you and other communities face each other, but I don't plan to reflect on it."

After Jurd left a few harsh words, Yakumo said in a mechanical, undulating voice.

"It's going to be a game tomorrow!" "And fighting on enemy territory!" "Yakumo-sama, is it really okay for you to be alone?"

The Black Rabbit hurriedly threw out a barrage of questions.

"Big husband!"

"I didn't listen to it at all!"

The Black Rabbit sighed, then looked at Sixteen Nights, Asuka and Yao.

"The ......"

"I refuse." ””

"I haven't said anything yet!"

"Everything you're going to say is written on your face." Sixteen Night waved his hand, "They provoked this fight, so naturally let that guy solve it himself, so I won't interfere." ”

"That's right."

"Seconded."

The black rabbit lowered its head in a dejected manner, and a pair of rabbit ears shrugged weakly.

“…… Ahhh ”

"Don't mention that first, Black Rabbit and Ren, don't you think there are some things that should be explained to us?"

Asuka knocked on the table and asked suddenly.

Black Rabbit and Ren's faces suddenly froze.

"That nasty guy seemed to say ...... Your community doesn't even seem to have a name? ”

"Mmmm, I really can't help but care."

"Ditto, please tell the truth."

Yakumo and Asukina glanced at each other, and after the three of them asked questions on the sixteenth night, they also looked at Black Rabbit and Yao.

Esther, who had become a human again, stood obediently and quietly.

Ren sighed, and the black rabbit lowered his head in embarrassment.

"No, I'm very sorry, I'm sorry to hide it from you...... But we also have struggles. ”

"Our community was attacked by the Demon King a few years ago...... All the core members have been captured, and only the children and the black rabbit are left, and I am barely supporting ...... now."

"Demon King?"

"Yes. Hakowa natural disaster, the [Demon King] with the authority of the host, once they provoke the Gift Competition, the named community has no way to refuse, and must participate...... In just one day, we broke down......"

“…… That's right. ”

Yao nodded. The black rabbit looked at it tremblingly.

"That's the end of it, I don't care what level of organization it is, what about you?"

"I'm not angry, as long as I can have three meals a day and a place to stay with a bath." Asuka said.

Then Jen's face froze.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Ren's strange appearance, Asuina asked in a whisper.

Ren lowered his head, "I'm sorry, in the box garden, if you want to buy water, you have to go to the big river a few kilometers away to pick it up." Our community is not in a good situation, there is no way to buy water, but to bathe in this situation where it is difficult to secure a water source...... Totally a luxury. ”

"Isn't there anything that can be done?"

Sixteen Nights looked at Jen with his hands on his chest.

Ren thought for a while and said: "Go out of the east gate, at the end of the world, the phantom beasts there have the gift of the water god, if we can get the other party's water god sapling, we don't have to worry about the water source." However, the only people in the community who can participate in the Gift Tournament are me and Black Rabbit, and I am not capable enough. The Black Rabbit is too restrictive...... So ......"

"Phantom beasts? Is it strong? ”

Jen nodded.

"Oh! It's so interesting, I'm going to check it out! ”

Sixteen Nights was about to turn around and leave, but the black rabbit stopped the other party.

"Wait, wait, Lord Sixteen Nights!"

"Huh?"

"The ......"

Black Rabbit thought for a moment and said, "I thought that since tomorrow is going to be a gift competition, why don't you go to [ThousandEyes] today to do a gift appraisal for everyone!" ”

“【ThousandEyes】？ Is it also a community? ”

“YES。 ThousandEyes is a guild centered on those with special "eye" gifts. But it's a super huge business guild all over the southeast and northwest of Hakonoi, and all the fields of the upper and lower levels. Luckily, there are branches nearby! ”

"Gifted appraisal ......?" Yakumo muttered.

"Of course, it is to identify the power and origin of gifts. Only by mastering your own abilities correctly. in order to maximize the performance. You're also concerned about where your power comes from, aren't you? ”

The black rabbit sought everyone's opinions, and his eyes were on Yakumo intentionally or unintentionally.

"Although Yakumo-sama said that your ability does not come from gifts, it is good to go and see it!"

◇

Perribed Avenue, which leads to the shops, is paved with neat stone slabs, and the street trees on both sides of the street are scattered with pink petals. Green leaves and new shoots have grown.

"It's ...... Cherry blossom? Asuka looked at the situation in amazement, "How can there be cherry blossoms in the middle of summer?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shouldn't it be early summer? ”

“…… No, I think it's autumn. ”

Then Asuka, Sixteen Nights, and Yao looked at each other with wide eyes.

Tomorrow Nai and Yakumo glanced at each other, and Yakumo shook his head: "You guys, did the Black Rabbit say before that they were all summoned from another world?" Did you ever say that there is only one other world? ”

"Parallel worlds?"

"To be correct, it should be the 'three-dimensional intersection parallel world theory', which is very troublesome to explain, so let's talk about it when we have a chance in the future!"

The black rabbit walking in front raised an index finger.

"Look, it's here!"

The shop in front of me hangs with a blue background and two statues of goddesses staring at each other.

The female clerk who was standing at the door of the store wearing an apron saw the arrival of Black Rabbit and others, and immediately said, "Guests, please stay, our store is not open outside the specified hours." ”

Before you know it, it's evening, and it's almost closing.

The black rabbit suddenly had some difficulty.

Sixteen Nights and the others behind him were about to protest dissatisfied, when a voice suddenly sounded:

“yahoo――――！！！ Long time no see, Black Rabbit - !!! ”

A girl in a kimono with snow-white hair suddenly burst out of the store.

The moment they heard the girl's voice, Yakumo and Assuna suddenly looked subtle.

"Ink ...... How do I feel ......"

"Ah, I'm scared too......"

The girl who rushed out hit the black rabbit headlong, and then the two of them hugged each other and spun around in the air a few times, and flew straight into the shallow ditch across the road.

"Babble!!!"

The white-haired young girl who attacked the black rabbit with a flying impact buried her head in the black rabbit's chest.

"White, White Yaksha-sama!? Why are you in such a lower level? ”

"Of course I'm here to meet that guy - ahem, I'm going to meet you Black Rabbit! Hey, is it right here? ”

A perverted girl named Hakuyasha kept rubbing in the arms of the black rabbit.

"White, White Yaksha-sama! Please let me go! ”

The Black Rabbit grabbed Hakuyasha's head, forcibly pulled him out, and threw it at the side of the road - right in the direction of Yakumo Mo.

Hakuyasha, who was flying in mid-air, saw Yakumo in the maid's outfit, and his eyes widened with a shocked expression.

A ribbon under the big bow behind Yakumo Mo seemed to come to life, and it stretched out with a "whoosh", entangled the flying White Yasha and smashed it to the ground with a "boom".

"Oh yes, got used to this outfit so quickly? Sure enough, he's very talented! ”

Sixteen Nights immediately came up with a nasty smile.

"Do you want to die once?"

“…… You're on the stage. ”

◇

"Hey! You rude maid actually treats beautiful girls who meet for the first time in this way! What the hell are you going to do!? ”

"Pretty girl? Perverted...... You're a pervert, right? Yes, right? It must be, right? The moment I heard the voice, I was convinced, you know! ”

"Inexplicable!"

Hakuyasha snorted first, and got up from the ground and patted his clothes after Yakumo retracted the ribbon.

"Really, let me rub my boobs and forgive you! Although you don't have any expectations there, you can't compare with the black rabbit, but I won't mind, right? ”

"Poof!!"

Ashina, Sixteen Nights, Asuka and Yao, and even Ren, as well as the black rabbit who had just climbed up, all laughed out loud.

"You're a pervert!"

Yakumo stepped forward and grabbed Hakuyasha's cheek and pulled it to both sides.

"Gollum ......"

The waving little hand of the White Yasha tried to say something, but in the end all he could say was a series of strange grunts.

In the eyes of others, Yakumo was just messing around with Hakuyasha, but Yakumo sensed that in a split second just now, Hakumomo seemed to be using some very esoteric ability to try to break free of himself.

[Hey-!! 】

The white yasha's amber eyes widened a little, and then returned to the same look as usual.

Yakumo let go of his hand, and Hakuyasha blinked, giving Yakumo a deep look.

"I see...... It's really here......" (To be continued.) )
