In the afternoon, at the foot of the hill behind the manor, beside the sparkling lake, a man was sitting on a stone in the shade of a tree, with both feet sticking into the water, as if to find some coolness in the hot weather. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When I got closer, it was a girl in a cloak, and the dappled sunlight fell on her body in a few spots, bright or dark, and her long and strange white hair was scattered behind her, and occasionally the breeze blew, and it would dance gently. The girl's hands were propped up on the stone beneath her, leaning back slightly, her head was tilted, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared at the clouds in the blue sky, as if she was interested in it.

Yes, that's right, this is exactly what a guy with the surname Xia is.

Although it looks like she's enjoying some kind of leisurely time, it's actually very scathing to tell the truth of the matter.

Because, this thing is not enjoying the cool time in the hot summer, but studying the new abilities that he has just made.

In the past two days, in order to avoid being sought revenge by a certain vindictive magical girl, she didn't dare to appear in front of the other party at all, but hid at the foot of the mountain far away from the manor, and continued to study her bloodline power. Moreover, after a period of tinkering, she did come up with something new.

She discovered that this bloodline power was not limited to her own hands, and that at least her feet could do the same thing.

The reason why she has put both feet into the lake is naturally not to play in the water, but to use her own conscious power to control the gel thin line to explore the potential lake water, and to capture some creatures in the lake, so as to exercise her ability to control the fine line.

So, although she is looking up at the sky now, most of her attention is actually on the thin line that extends out of her feet, and at the same time controls ten, covering a small piece of lake water around her, cooperating with each other, like smart water snakes, constantly playing with the small fish and shrimp in the lake, scaring these little creatures everywhere, making their lives a mess.

The power of consciousness she wields, in the language of this magical world, should be called psychic power, or soul power.

Originally, her soul power was stronger than others, and after she went through the sacrificial ritual of the vampire castle, her soul power was now a hundred times stronger than others, so she was naturally able to control these fine lines to a divine level, and she didn't feel difficult at all.

There was a slight sound, as if a small branch had been trampled on.

Suddenly, her ears moved, but she heard a footstep approaching in her direction.

Not... Humans?

She sat up straight, raised her right hand and put the hood back on, covering her face and tugging in her conspicuous gray hair.

She remembered the warning of a magical girl, and naturally she didn't want to get into any trouble, being chased by annoying church flies like a certain vampire prince. Moreover, she could be sure that the person who came was definitely not Alexie, because there was nothing unusual about the vague connection from the contract mark in her soul, and it was obviously not the little girl who was approaching her.

Tut...... Who would come to such a place but himself?

She lifted the blood condensation, stood up from the stone, shook the drops of water from her feet, and moved her body, hiding in the big tree behind her.

Soon, someone finally appeared in her sight, but it made her look relieved.

Because, the person who came was a human girl, who didn't seem to be very old, similar to a certain little girl, but the girl was holding a bow in her hand and carrying a half-empty quiver, looking cautious, as if she was trying to sneak close here.

However, when the girl came to the lake and saw that there was nothing here, she seemed to be a little stunned, and she was very cute.

Not... Do you live nearby?

I guess I heard the noise she made by the lake, and thought it was some animal coming here to drink water?

Soon, she deduced the identity of the girl from the linen clothes on the other party's body, and guessed in her heart.

However, the young hunter girl's hunting skills were still far behind, although her instincts were good, and she could detect the movement of the lake, but she was very careless and broke the branches under her feet, and she was not calm enough, and besides, seeing that this guy's quiver was more than half empty, but his hands were still empty, and it was obvious that he had all failed, and he had not succeeded in catching a single prey......

Forget it!

Seeing the young girl hunter walk to where she had been sitting, staring at the footprints of the droplets she had left behind, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

A thin, transparent line crept out of her bare feet, along the trunk of the tree, down the other side of the Hunter Maiden's sight, and then, lurking in the middle of the meadow, into the lake.

Not long after, with a bang, a palm-wide fish was thrown out of the lake and landed where the Hunter Maiden stood, fluttering and jumping, causing the Hunter Maiden to scream.

As if she had seen a ghost, the hunter girl stared at the fish that suddenly jumped at her feet, and then raised her head and looked left and right, but she didn't see a single figure nearby, and her face couldn't help but become a little pale.

Just when the hunter girl was in doubt, there was another clamour, and another big fish 'jumped' out of the lake and smashed in front of her.

As if remembering something, the hunter girl looked at the human footprints found on the stone just now, and then looked at the small lake where the big fish flew up from the water on its own, and the empty surroundings, the girl couldn't help screaming, and didn't dare to stay any longer, so she spread her feet and ran away.

“......”

Could it be that I was treated as a ghost, right?

Seeing this scene, she was a little stunned, she didn't expect this to be the result, and couldn't help touching her face a little inexplicably.

Soon, she reacted, because she was now in a different world with mysterious powers, and it was estimated that ordinary people would be very brave when they saw this kind of strange thing without rolling their eyes and fainting.

"Hmm... The ghost of the lake? In broad daylight, it's a little scary......"

She jumped down from the tree, muttered to herself, flicked her fingers, and shot two thin lines to roll the two fish up, and then her body moved, and her robe moved like a ghost to the manor.

Hawkers, forget it, let's eat these two fish by ourselves!

I just hope that the little girl's anger has subsided......

......

Soon, she returned to the courtyard of the manor, but before her footsteps could be steady, her expression could not help but be stunned.

Next to the tree in the courtyard that she had cut with a thin thread, a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes was standing there vividly, wearing a set of black and purple delicate dresses that she had changed at some point, mysterious and noble. The blonde girl's right hand was raised slightly, and a pure black weird butterfly fell on the tip of her index finger, flapping its wings slightly, and the blonde girl's lips were also slightly open and closed, as if to say something, but there was no sound.

Seeing her appear in the courtyard, the blonde girl immediately turned her head to look at her, staring at her motionless with a pair of blue eyes.

"Uh...... Do you eat fish?"

She came back to her senses, raised her prey in her hand, and asked with some smirk.

As soon as I came back, I ran into the muzzle of the gun, and my luck was really ...... It's been so long, this girl can't still hold a grudge against herself for damaging her house, right?

However, Alex ignored the two fish in her hand, and just raised her right hand up, startled the black butterfly on her fingertip, and strode towards her.

"Just in time, stupid Natsu!"

Alex stood in front of her, looked at her, and said in a serious tone, "There's a mission!"

"Mission?"

"Yes, we'll get out of here tomorrow, you get ready!"

"Are you going to deal with that person?"

“... No. ”

"Who's that?"

"You'll find out then!"

"Hey, little girl, I only promised to help you deal with that person, but I didn't say anything else......"

"Don't worry, I'll do this task myself, and I don't need you to do it!"

Alexie interrupted her, glared at the pesky guy again, and turned to leave.

Not... Task?

It's not for me, it's for the little girl?

Looking at the departing figure of a certain magical girl, she raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel a little strange......
