Noon on the seventh day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Coming out of the assembly hall in Chiya City, Liu Xiao and Ai Li were already waiting for me at the door.

There were also many residents of Chiya City who came to see us off, standing in the distance, watching us.

Time is too fast, and I've been in this world for a week.

What's going on in the world over there?

disappeared for such a long time, will Mo Fei call the police?

Suddenly I started to worry a little.

"It seems that I will be scolded by Mo Fei after I go back."

I grinned and said to Liu Xiao.

"I know you can't be trusted"

The girl seemed to be laughing at me.

"I left a note for Mo Fei and told her that we were going back to our hometown."

"Sister Liu Xiao, you are so thoughtful!"

"It's Something I Ow"

"Well, I'll pay it back when I go back."

"Are you ready?"

Sercelia-sama is making the final confirmations.

"Well, it's ready"

"Brother, yours"

Liu Xiao handed me my short sword.

"Huh, are you telling me to bring this back?"

"You might as well take it with you"

“ok”

"Ellie, aren't you bringing your bottle?"

"Clams, I can come back at any time, of course I don't have to carry the baby with me"

Oh, that's true.

Why do I have a feeling in my heart as if I have gone far away?

Look around.

Strange city.

A fortress erected on a suspension bridge.

But there is an illusion that this is home.

"We ...... How do you go back?"

Ellie reached out and seemed to want me to pull a hand.

I grabbed the little one's hand and let her step on my legs, and as soon as I jumped, she jumped on my shoulder.

Sit down steadily.

"You don't have blood erosion now, I'll take you there directly with anchor magic"

"Now?"

"Anchored in El Gonda, the past will do"

"It just so happens that you need to say goodbye to the Elven King too"

Mistress Seria said, handing me a small bottle.

Then he leaned into my ear and whispered.

"The lemming worm in the bottle knows how to get back to this side of the world, and if you get into trouble, open the bottle and I'll know"

"Well, thanks"

When you pick it up, it looks like a small bottle of nail polish, and it's exquisite.

Inside the bottle was a small beetle the size of a fingernail cap with a little thumb, motionless as if it were dead.

The parting gift that Mistress Seria gave me was not a jewel with magical powers, nor a weapon of a sparkling elf, nor a healing spring.

But...... A bug.

Well, Mistress Secelia is also caring for me in her own way.

Still, I pray that the day when I need to use this thing doesn't come.

The flying ship came around from the mouth of the gorge, and its reddish-brown hull marked it as a ship to and from El Gonda.

"Issadur"

"Huh?"

"Now that you have the name of the elves and our ally, the Dawn Mountains are ready for you to open their doors at any time."

Sercelia-sama gave her a warm look.

"That is, every now and then, come back and see"

"Hmmm......"

"Don't stay out for thousands of years in a row"

This one...... Even if I wanted to, it would be difficult for me.

"Clam ~ He's a human wow"

Sercelia's words made Ellie laugh.

"Oh yes, from a human point of view...... Ugh"

Sercelia-sama put her finger to her lips, as if thinking about something.

This action looks very similar to Linda's.

It is worthy of being a member of the same family.

"Come back once a year, in your human terms."

That's not a big deal.

"If I didn't have to run to the North Pole every time, I would definitely come"

"Haha"

Liu Xiao also laughed.

Climb aboard the flying ship and watch as Lord Secelia and the residents of Red Cliff City wave goodbye to us on the suspension bridge.

There is a feeling of reluctance.

I'm afraid this feeling has also reached Ellie's heart.

Because she was looking at me with a strange look.

"What does that feel like?"

She pointed to her chest.

"Uh...... Nostalgia, right?"

"Huh?"

"You can come back at any time, probably not very well this feeling."

"This feeling of reluctance to leave, nostalgia"

The little one shook his head at me.

The two blue eyes were full of curiosity.

"Ha~"

"Uh-huh, you're laughing at me?"

"No, Elle-sama"

The flying boat carried us all the way to El Gunda.

From the North Gate of the Dawn Mountains to the West Gate.

The time was surprisingly short, or was it because it was a happy time?

There was still a tense atmosphere outside the royal city.

The number of ships coming and going is very frequent, and it has not decreased at all compared to the previous days.

Lots of soldiers went to the front, and many soldiers came down from the front.

Judging by the fact that no one was injured, they were just rotating the garrison.

Conflicts should not have broken out at the front yet.

I was very concerned, but now I suddenly feel like I've become someone else.

There was no longer a feeling of heavy pressure when I took this sword.

"Do you want to go back to the hut?"

Liu Xiao asked me.

"Did Something Fall?"

Liu Xiao shook his head.

"Then don't need it, go back, I'll come anyway"

Liu Xiao seemed to understand what I meant, and smiled happily at me.

"But ......"

"Because there's no blood, there's no reason for you to come with me next time."

"That's not necessarily, what the hero Liu Xiao wants to do, it's not up to you to care"

Liu Xiao raised his head like Ellie, looking like his wings had hardened.

"Issadur!"

Kyle stepped out of the crowd at the harbor, his face not looking relaxed at all.

"Kyle-sama"

He nodded to me.

"I'm here to represent His Majesty Mespil and send you back to the human world"

"Is Your Majesty still on the front line?"

Kyle nodded.

It seems that Maispear probably doesn't want to see me again.

I could only smile helplessly.

"Is the way through with anchor magic?"

Kyle asked Elle.

"Well, for three, how's it going?"

"Please follow me"

Instead of climbing the long towering staircase, we came up from the harbor and turned into a continuous row of buildings.

This is good news for Liu Xiao and me.

The inside of the building is connected, making this massive townhouse look like an organ.

Inside, apart from the elaborate decorations and dome tens of meters high, it is almost empty.

Inside the narrow strip building, many circular patterns are carved side by side on the stone floor.

The pattern is also engraved with dense incantations, and judging by the number of words, it should be very sophisticated magic.

These circular patterns vary in size, some are lit and some are dark.

"This is anchor magic?"

"Well, it's like, let's a few of us stand on the anchor and throw it into another world."

"So when you return, you will return to this place accurately."

"If it's on, is anyone using it?"

"Exactly"

Wonderful magic.

The three of us were standing in a large ring.

Elle then began to read the incantation.

"Have a nice trip"

Kyle beckons goodbye to us.

That's how we ...... Did you go back......

It's like standing on a long-distance platform.

There is a sense of loss.

Puff -

Suddenly, it was as if the floor had collapsed, and a few of us seemed to have fallen from the ridge of the royal city.

The world around us suddenly turned to pieces and fell with us, and everything in the distance fell silent in the darkness.

Only in the direction of the fall, there was a little light.

Hmmm――

With a rollercoaster thrill in our heads, a cloud of blue light converged on us.

Then the surrounding scenery suddenly became fixed again.

The darkness in the distance also lightened all of a sudden.

It's not so much shallower...... It's better to say ......

Lights?

Beneath your feet is the familiar concrete floor.

All of a sudden, we were on a road.

The traffic light in front is yellow, indicating that it is night.

Well, by the way, the so-called principle of time reversal, the time we set out from the Dawn Mountains is noon, so here is midnight.

...... home?

The scenery around is familiar.

We landed on a remote path not far behind the school.

It's no wonder that as soon as Elle came to the human world, she arrived at our school, and it turned out that the anchor magic was here.

Oh yes, it seems that Meispier also said that Ellie's anchor magic landed near our school.

Let the bad memories drift away, I don't want to recall Mespil anymore lately.

I took Liu Xiao's hand with one hand, and patted the elf's hand on the shoulder with the other.

Follow the familiar path in the direction of home.

"But Ellie, can you only land here?"

"The landing point of the anchor is determined by the torrent, how to say it, it seems to be a fate-like thing, no one is different, and it can't be changed"

Elle spread her hands, as if she was helpless about the magic.

"What a troublesome magic."

"However, it should be convenient to be able to easily shuttle to this world."

Liu Xiao retorted to me.

"Hey, hey, that's what I said"

"Ah yes, Liu Xiao"

"Huh?"

"In front of Seria-sama, you said you were my guardian."

"That's right, I'll take you to the Dawn Mountains to heal your injuries, not a guardian."

I can't say Liu Xiao at all, I can only pout.

"I always feel like I'm married out of nowhere."

"Broad! What is not clear?"

Ellie was also anxious, and her feet bounced and swung on the ground.

"Elle-sama's Wrath"

Don't make this little guy angry......

"But is that really good?"

I asked Liu Xiao.

"Elle didn't say she didn't want to, what's wrong"

"No, I didn't mean this, uh, an elf, don't you mind"

"Elle will live with us in the future"

Liu Xiao shook his head.

"You're always going to marry"

"No matter who the object is, as long as you will continue to take care of me, I will not object"

Liu Xiao walked around to the other side of me and reached out to take Ellie's hand.

"Besides, Ellie's words are the best, they look more pleasing to the eye than any human, and they are so cute"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's still the best little girl"

The two of them seem to have a very good relationship all of a sudden?

"What about you, will you suddenly get married one day?"

"Haha, what are you talking about, how could I get married"

Liu Xiao turned his head and looked at the other side.

I just asked curiously, but I didn't expect Liu Xiao to be asked shyly.

"But"

Liu Xiao turned around again, followed Linda's example, pressed his lips with his fingers, tilted his head, and said playfully.

"If it's you, I'll think about it, ha"

Liu Xiao smiled at me, meaning that it was a joke.

I will also smile at Liu Xiao.

This is probably, equivalent to the same thing that Liu Xiao gave me the highest evaluation.

More than any high-sounding compliment, I am pleased.

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome~"
