"Mr. Phoenixin, it's good that you're okay"

The next day, a hotel in Cagliari, ravaged by mythical beasts.

Restless and worried, Kusanagi Godo wakes up early in the morning and is overjoyed to learn that his lost companion has survived. I didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so I hurriedly went out to greet him.

But he found that there was an extra girl next to 'Mr. Phoenix Temple'.

The blonde girl who reminded them yesterday of their refuge - the owner of an unforgettable beauty.

"Yo"

The young man with a pseudonym looked listless.

There are also weak people who speak.

And the blonde girl was radiant, as always, with a look of nobility and confidence.

"Ugh"

Kusanagi Godo opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

To be honest, he had many questions.

For example: the wild boar.

But the atmosphere between the two people in front of him was extremely delicate, and Mr. Phoenix Yuan looked gloomy as if he owed a lot of money, making it difficult for people to ask what happened yesterday.

"Hello, I'm Erica. Bnutstree. ”

At this time, the blonde girl said politely.

Elegant without losing its disgrace.

Impressive.

I am fluent in standard Japanese.

"I'm Kusanagi Godo."

Kusanagi Godo was stunned for a moment and replied.

I probably didn't expect the other party to speak Japanese so well.

"It's not a good place for the rest of the conversation, don't you mind if you can change places?"

For Erica's Tiyì.

Kusanagi Godo had no objections.

That kind of stuff really doesn't fit into a hotel lobby to talk about.

So, the three of them came to his room.

Ling Yi seemed to be planning to run away halfway. But Erica's eyes are quick, and that Qianqianyu hand contains a power that surpasses any strong man in the world, needless to say, it is the effect of magic.

"--Terrifying strange power, it's really a monster girl."

Ling Yi muttered quietly while rubbing his reddened wrists.

"Hypocrites who are full of gibberish are not qualified to speak of me."

Erica gave him a faint look, then turned her gaze to Kusanagi Godo.

"Okay, let's talk first, no matter what questions you have, let me confirm whether the Divine Demon Dao Book is still in your hand."

"Divine Demon Dao Book?"

Kusanagi Godo was confused.

"The Paperless Age – an ancient product of the Divine Generation. It was a time when the gods were able to stride freely in the world, and at that time, the Demon Book that God made in order to leave behind his wisdom and divine power was in this form. Although I don't know what power the Demon Dao Book in your hand has, it's definitely a product of the gods. ”

"You mean this slate?"

Kusanagi Godo took out the slate from his backpack and placed it on the table.

"Yes. I'll take care of this. ”

"Wait! It's not my thing. ”

See Kusanagi Godo's panicked appearance. Erica narrowed her eyes like a cunning fox.

"Sure enough. You're related to a cult magician. Even if you don't have any mana per se, the words of the helper are a different matter. ”

"Cult magician?"

Just as Kusanagi Hutang was stunned, Ling Yi said casually:

"It's good to get used to it, this woman has been torturing me all night. That's 100 percent mental violence. ”

"Huh?"

"It's not just monster girls. There is also the S attribute. It's perfect in every sense. ”

Hearing this sarcastic remark, Erica's brow twitched.

"That's just a simple interrogation, after all, your words and actions are too suspicious—of course. That was yesterday's view, and now I can see through you for what you are. ”

"What!"

Ling Yi's eyes widened, and the look of shock was immediately hidden, and he changed to a confident look.

"Stop pretending, how can a savage woman like you see into my chaotic heart."

"—paranoia."

Erica held up a finger, and the three words that came out of her mouth were like hammers.

“”

Like being uncovered with a scar in his heart, Ling Yi's face was extremely ugly.

But he immediately picked himself up again.

"Hmph, it's impossible to defeat my will with words! Listen, what about even paranoia? Don't pretend to be smart, genius monster girl, what do you think human beings have relied on to get to where they are today? Do you work on your own? That's just the surface! It is not the so-called wisdom, but the ancient hope born of the most primitive instinct! Right! Paranoia is the crystallization of desire, and it is also the proof of the person who longs for the truth. Only the ignorant world will vigorously reject those seemingly absurd thoughts, and you are already in contact with the most mysterious things in the world, do you plan to go with the flow? ”

"I can't argue with it."

Erica frowned in remorse.

Although I feel a little suspicious of stealing the concept, and it's still strong.

But why did she waver?

"Anyway, Miss Erica. This slate is something that my grandfather asked me to return to its original owner, and I can't give it to you. ”

"Well said, don't bow down to this guy."

After Kusanagi Hutang solemnly finished speaking, Ling Yi fanned the flames on the side.

They should have taken advantage of it, but it felt like it was unreasonable.

Erica glared fiercely at the young man who was pretending to be confused, thought for a moment and said:

"Can you tell me the name of my original owner?"

"It's like it's called Lukurazia. Zola. Lived in a place called Olena in the interior. Mr. Phoenix and I were on our way to her. ”

"Lukurazia. Zola? The witch of Sardinia? Then again, it's understandable that you're here to return something, so why did you even follow this guy? ”

Erica pointed the finger at Ling Yi again.

"This"

It suddenly occurred to him that he had never known what 'Mr. Phoenix-in' was doing in Sardinia.

Every time I asked, I was vague, or I just said a few words perfunctorily that made people feel unclear.

"I'm here to pick up the lost property. By the way, pick up the cheap ones. ”

This time, Ling Yi replied very cheerfully.

Of course, no one understands the true meaning of this phrase either.

******************

The scenery you see from the car window is mostly an endless grassland.

And then there's the boundless wilderness. Along the way, I saw several flocks of sheep grazing on such a large land, as well as shepherds. Sheep herding is one of the main industries in Sardinia.

In these scenes, you can see the ancient pagoda called Nuragai, which was built of stones.

This is the remains of a fortress built by the locals in prehistoric times before the arrival of the Phoenicians. It is now an important tourist resource.

On the way, the counties in Nuoro County rested for a while, ate a meal and continued on the road.

Olena is a small town on the outskirts of it.

Olena under a cloudless sky is a beautiful town with a beautiful wind.

There is a refreshing green forest nearby, and there is also beautiful spring water. A town with a population of about 10,000 people. It's a small, well-stocked town.

The departure from Cagliari is around noon. Two hours have passed to reach Olena.

"Why did you come along?"

"Ah, if I use a sword, I can snatch the slate from his hand right now, right? I don't do it because I'm gentle and a person with a chivalrous spirit. Do you understand? ”

Erica's eyes were as sharp as a sword. The tone was full of false tenderness.

But I have to admit it. Because there is her storage zài. Don't stay in a hotel tonight.

It was already approaching evening, and if they were to take the train, it would be dark by the time they reached Olena.

And they don't know the exact address of Lukurazia's house.

You can't always visit your home in the middle of the night.

But—

"This is not the car I remember!"

Ling Yi, who was pale, leaned on the roof of the car and muttered to himself.

Next to him, Kusanagi Godo propped his hands on his knees. It looks like he's going to die.

He was still talking to himself, as if he was saying, "I thought I was going to die."

"Ariana is a maid, but the driving and cooking are not satisfactory."

Erica seemed to be used to it.

It's just that the blonde hair is slightly disheveled.

Ling Yi silently looked at the canopy that was emitting black smoke, and then at the pretty maid in the driver's seat, and said what he originally wanted to say, 'Is this driving?' This sentence swallowed into his stomach.

Lukurazia. Zola's home is near the forest next to the town.

A stone house with a small courtyard. Very old atmosphere, which emanates from the whole house. And there are no other houses nearby, which gives people a very bleak feeling.

- The Witch's House.

Although it is a hut, it is very similar to the word.

Looking into the courtyard, it was overgrown with weeds.

Even gardeners will discourage the idea of tidying up.

"It's rare to have a fresh face come to the door, who are you?"

A female voice that is more suitable for the description of 'mature' than a good one comes from overhead.

Ling Yi raised his head and saw a black cat with a very bright coat sitting on the eaves, and the pair of green and rational vertical pupils were looking at them.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of meeting Lukurazia. Zola-sama, Ichiro Kusanagi has something for you. ”

It was Erica who responded.

After that, they were taken to a room that resembled a dormitory.

Medicine—no, it smells of herbs, and the room is very messy. On one of the beds inside, there was a woman sitting up with only her upper body up.

The cat just now was in a clump in the corner of the room, yawning boredly.

"Welcome to my home, blood relatives of my old friend. You can see at a glance that you should be the grandson of Ichiro Kusanagi. I'm Lucurazia. Zola. ”

In front of me is one dressed only close to the body. Clothes, and the beautiful woman who greets guests in a posture lying on the bed. The cat-like lazy eyes reveal an incredible charm.

Her long flaxen-colored hair is also very beautiful.

And it's Miao Ling, about a little over 20 years old.

In a word, it's not scientific!

"I'm sorry, but people become lazy when they can use magic freely. Ahh You're Kusanagi Godo, aren't you? Ichiro had already told me in the email that he had told me the reason for the incident and the fact that he had his grandson come. ”

"So, are you Miss Lukurazia?"

"yes. What's the problem? ”

"No, no, as it is a friend of grandfather."

It's supposed to be an old woman or something, it's hard to say.

The Sardinian witch who is good at reading people's hearts smiled:

"It's all now, what else do you have to be surprised about. Keeping your body young is a privilege reserved only for witches whose magic power has reached the purest realm! Compared to this, I think the 'God of Disobedience' is more impactful. Speaking of which, this girl is also a raw face? ”

She cast an inquiring glance at Erica.

"Erica. Bonetree, the Grand Knight of the Bronze Black Cross, was destined to walk with him. ”

"Your Royal Highness, the niece of Paul Qing. I've heard a few rumors that the reason why you came to this kind of countryside is because of the disobedient gods. Looks like he's in good hands. ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

Finally restored to calm Kusanagi Godo. Took the slate out of his bag.

"All in all, please take this."

Hearing this, Lucurazia sat up from the bed and took the slate. muttered to himself:

"The Secret of Prometheus is so nostalgic."

"Prometheus?"

Erica's expression moved. Quietly asked:

"What are you going to do with it?"

The Book of the Demon of God. Even the [Red Bronze Black Cross] level of magic associations are not many.

Regardless of the use, everything that is a product of the gods has a value that magicians cherish.

"I don't know, what should I do?"

Lukurazia stared at the slate in her hand. It seems to be very troubled.

"This kind of thing will soon find an uninvited guest here, no, maybe it's already here."

He said something very disturbing, but a smile appeared on his lips.

"By the way, it's probably not just the two of you who came to visit."

"Yes. It's a companion, but if I can, I want to avoid embarrassing him in front of you as much as possible. ”

Erica nodded.

Now only she and Kusanagi Godo and Lukurazia are in the room.

Before entering the door, Ling Yi suddenly said, 'I'm still waiting outside', and then ran to talk to Ariana.

Lucurazia was slightly surprised.

"That's right. It seems that he is not very interested in me, and although I am a little disappointed, I personally want to avoid contact with such people as much as possible, so I will pass this on to him for me. ”

As he spoke, he handed the slate to Kusanagi Godo.

Not only Kusanagi, but even Erica was taken aback.

"Wait! Is it really okay to give something so valuable to a stranger? Miss Lucurazia probably hasn't seen the man I'm talking about, right? Not to mention that he is a layman in magic, and secondly, he is just a paranoid, even if luck has figured out how to use it, but if he uses it with a human body, he will die! ”

"So what do you think should be done?"

"Of course, it's handed over to me, and that's what the right place is."

"Are you sure?"

Lucurazia's eyes widened and she asked very seriously.

"Why the sudden change of attitude?"

"Because it's more fun."

This playful tone alerted Erica.

"Lukurazia. Zola, what the hell are you hiding? ”

"Pretty sensitive. Forget it, this is advice, you will be unlucky with this thing, and it is not surprising that you will even die. ”

"Is it really 'Spiritual Vision'?"

Erica finally calmed down.

Spiritual vision is said to be a gift from God.

There are various ways of saying that we have insight into fate and enlightenment, and we can summarize it as 'the ability to foresee the future'.

Witches aren't the only ones who have this qualification.

But the people who have this qualification are mostly girls.

"Is it at all?"

Lucurazia's Ambiguity. Erica's answer upset her.

"I see."

The implication is no more scrambling.

"Where's the boy?"

"I'm here to return this thing, and it's useless to me anyway, so if you decide, of course I don't have a problem."

Kusanagi Godo hurriedly nodded in agreement.

It doesn't matter who Lucurazia hands over.

He didn't want to leave with this thing anymore.

"Good. It's getting late, so let's stay here today. ”

Lucurazia said suddenly.

*****************

The moon was like water, and the Witch's House was bigger than expected, and Erica was holding the stone slab to find the figure of the nasty guy, and then heard the conversation at the door of the guest room on the second floor.

"It's so late to call, no, even I won't be arrogant enough to make the enemy of the two pillar gods in one breath, you are too worried, that's all."

Erica would never admit it, there were not many guests in the museum, and that person made a deep impression on her, so she almost immediately confirmed the identity of the person who spoke.

But the way of speaking has changed a lot.

It's not as bravado as usual, and there's no sense of self-absorption.

And then

Did he say anything?

God?

(I played role-playing on a whim, but I didn't expect the book review to react violently.) (To be continued......)
