"That's right...... Since you have made a guarantee that you will not treat my brother badly, then I can rest assured. ”

After hearing Eevee's answer, Joon was obviously thinking about something, but he answered Eevee absentmindedly.

"Now that the matter is settled, why don't we come in and sit down for a cup of tea? I think there must be a lot to talk about between the two of us. The ostensible meaning of Eevee's words seems to be to invite Joon to tea, but in fact, he has given Joon a disguised eviction order.

"No, I'm leaving. After picking up the broken blade stuck in the grass not far away, and putting it in the sheath along with the rest of the handle, Jun gave the answer that was exactly the same as Ibu expected.

"Can you ask him to send me a section?"

"Of course. Baihel, send Master Yanihak home. Ibu turned to Shiraka and gave an order.

“...... Yes, master. Although he was still a little restrained in his movements, Bai He still honestly followed Jun out of the door. Bai He is not stupid, even if he thinks about it on his knees, he can think that Zhang Jun has something to say to him.

The two walked out of the door of Ibu's house one after the other.

At this moment, Joon suddenly turned around and looked around as if he felt something, but all he saw was Eevee standing in the courtyard looking at him inexplicably.

（...... Not him. ）

Joon shook his head, keeping a close eye on his surroundings, but he didn't notice anything more, so he had to smile wryly and think he was too neurotic.

patting Bai He, who was stunned on the side, on the shoulder, Jun signaled that he could go.

Of course, Jun, who took the first step, didn't notice that the gaze of Bai He, who was behind him, glanced at a certain room on the second floor of Ibu's house very unnaturally.

Retracting his gaze, Bai He trotted two steps to catch up with Jun, who was already walking away.

By the window on the second floor, Meo leaned against the wall and tried to hide her breath.

When she felt Jun and Shiraka walk away, Mei Ou remembered what she had seen with her eyes at that moment.

- Instance name Juni Yanihak, no anomalies after scanning.

After uploading the words and the information she had just scanned, Mei Ou opened her eyes.

Like thick ink dripping into water, a heavy crimson rippled from the depths of Mei Ou's aqua blue pupils, gradually dyeing her entire eye completely blood-red.

Finally, the dewy red spread out of Mei Ou's eyes, and two lines of red tears rolled and fell in defiance of gravity, and then shattered on Mei Ou's chest, wetting the two pinches of pure white hair into red.

Meio, whose vision was completely darkened, felt her surroundings and made sure that she would not be disturbed......

The pale blue particles were attracted and began to move closer to Meo, then swirled and poured into her eyes. When the particles dissipated, Meo's eyes turned a beautiful aqua blue again.

Looking at the red of her chest, Mei Ou put her hair and claws on the red of her chest and the other on her face, and when she took her hands away, the hair had completely returned to pure white.

Feeling the scent of Eevee downstairs and preparing to enter the house, Meo straightened her clothes and walked out of the room.

"Bai He, how long have you been here?" Walking on the road, Jun coldly threw out this question.

“...... Hmm, more than half a year, what's wrong?"

“...... How old were you when you came here?"

"Fourteen, after I went down with you that day, I woke up and was here. Probably thinking that it was not enough, Bai He hurriedly added: "I woke up in a forest, and when I woke up, it was inexplicable, you know? Then I tried my best to remember what had happened before, but no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't remember what I came from here." The only thing that has a clue is a dream. ”

"Dreams?"

"Well, it's just a group of Taoist priests who surrounded me and said that I had a great mission to give me something. ”

“............”

"What about you, how long have you been here? It feels like a long time. ”

"Much longer than you, more than fourteen years. I can't remember some things for so long, but now that I hear you say it, I think I've been here since I woke up like you. But I'm different from you, I still remember those dead Taoists telling me that the world needs me to save it, and giving me special abilities, such as being able to read and speak the language of this world. ”

“...... You've been here for so long...... Shouldn't I call you uncle?" Bai He joked.

"Don't make a fuss, I'm probably a little younger than you now. But...... It's possible that we're here together, but we're fourteen years apart?

"How?"

"For example, what did they do wrong when they dropped you down, and they ended up throwing you now, leaving you with nothing. ”

“...... Alas, it is possible. Bai He obviously didn't want to talk much about this topic.

"Don't worry, sigh, with me! Don't forget that I'm the protagonist, I promise that if there is mine, yours, and you have what I have! Let's have fun together, and I'll be in trouble!" Jun said and patted Bai He's shoulder again, observing the look on his face.

“...... Hmm!Good brother!" After hearing this, Bai He finally smiled a little. With a somewhat reluctant smile, Bai He clenched his right hand into a fist and gently leaned his fist against Jun's chest.

This reaction of Bai He and the feeling of the hand made Jun smile.

"By the way, you have to pay more attention to the one named Eevee. I guess he's probably coming from a lot of backgrounds. After the two walked for a while, Jun said solemnly.

"How?"

"Do you know the six dukes in the Heavenly Sage other than the royal family?"

"I don't know. Bai He replied very simply.

"It doesn't hurt to read more books and learn more about this world when you have time. ”

“......”

"The so-called six dukes are the six grand dukes in this country who are second only to the holy kings. Through their absolute allegiance to the Holy King, they gained almost equal rights to the Holy King, a vast territory of their own, and absolute autonomy. For example, my grandfather is the sixth of the six dukes, Grand Duke Yanihak, and the territory he owns is Yanihak, and the people there are called Yanihak. ”

"That's right...... By the way, you just told Eevee that your name is Zhu He. Bai He looked up and asked.

"It's Juni Yanihak. Joon is the name I gave myself to commemorate my previous self, and when I introduce it to others, I often say this name, so I use it as a nickname. Only when I meet someone who needs to give my real name will I say the name that my parents here gave me. Joon shook his head with an expression that really couldn't help you.

Bai He nodded.

"Back to the original topic, it's not for nothing that I just gave my real name. I suspect that your master is from the Butterfry family, the third of the six dukes. And he's just used a swordsmanship that almost only the Bad Fry family knows. ”

"How big is he?" said this, but Bai He's eyes were rolling.

"Well, quite possibly. The only people in this country who know my surname is Yanihak and dare to come to me are those who are related to the Six Dukes or the Holy King. Joon nodded.

"I see, I'll pay more attention to him. ”

"By the way, you...... Uh...... "Bai He seemed to want to say something, but for some reason he slurred.

"What's wrong? Jun felt as if Bai He wanted to say something very important, so he stopped.

"That...... Do you have ...... It's the ......" Bai He lowered his head, and the index fingers of both hands poked each other.

"What?"

"That's the kind of ......"

"Book?" Jun looked at Bai He's slurching, and immediately said the answer that came to mind.

"No!" Bai He let out a sigh, and after struggling for a long time, he finally spoke again: "I want to ask, do you have any exercises that can be practiced for me or something." ”

"Poof! I thought you were going to say something, but that's it. The answer given by Bai He obviously surprised Jun somewhat, but that was all.

"Of course, if you don't say it, I'll forget about it. Jun formed a claw with his right hand, and at the same time, his left hand scratched dozens of times above his right hand and raised his right hand in front of Bai He.

"What do I have in my hands?"

"............" Joon's question really made Bai He not know how to answer it well, he looked at Joon's right hand over and over again, but there was only ...... How can I say it......

A large number of pale blue particles swirled on Jun's right hand with a long tail to form a sphere about fifteen centimeters in diameter, which spun continuously and emitted a pale blue light. This thing...... No matter how you look at it...... It's all a no-compromise ......

"Snaka-maru?" Finally, Bai He tentatively said the name that came to mind the first time he saw this thing.

"That's right, this is the spiral ○. Ah, it's great that you can see it, you watched it for a long time and I thought you couldn't see it, do you know? ”

"Y-How did you rub this thing?!" This unexpected surprise really surprised Bai He.

"Hey, it's just pretty, nothing really lethal. I'm doing this to make sure you have the talent to do it. With a shake of his hand, Jun shook the ball in his hand away, and with it, Bai He's second soul as a boy was scattered.

"Okay, don't look at it, you can rub this thing when you get back. ”

"Really?" Bai He's eyes lit up again.

"Of course, just because you can see this thing means that you must have a talent for it. There's nothing technical about this stuff, just learn it a little bit. ”

"Okay, you go on. ”

"I've noticed when I saw you before, your body is absorbing the magic in the air, a trait that only awakened magicians have. ”

"So I can learn magic?"

"Hmm. Actually, if it weren't for your physical failure, I would have wanted you to learn spells like me, but unfortunately my spells are part of the hanging. Joon pouted, seemingly disdainful of magic.

"Isn't it okay to have magic, is there a difference between magic and magic?" Bai He, who heard that he could learn magic, behaved like a child.

"Of course! Spells are something that has been handed down from ancient times in our Proud Heavenly Kingdom, and where is it compared to these foreign magics. ”

"That's right, but forget it, I can't learn spells anyway, so it's good to take a step back and learn magic. Bai He is still happy.

"Well, here's for you. This is the magic guide book I brought out from home, you can see how much you can understand, if you can't understand it, tell me that I will read it and find someone to teach you. As soon as he touched the ring on his left hand, Joon's right hand suddenly appeared with a few more books with black leather covers.

"Accept the ring!" Bai He's eyes lit up again.

"Well, I asked for it from those Taoist priests. Probably this is the only one in the world. ”

"It's so good......" With envy in his eyes, Bai He took the books.

"It's okay to take it back generously, that person named Eevee shouldn't dare to touch you easily in the future. I'll be looking for you in a few days. ”

After saying that, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and finally parted on a street.

Bai He stood on the street, watching Jun's back completely disappear into the crowd before turning around. When he turned around, the smile on his face was gone, replaced by a cold like ice. Of course, no one noticed it.

Holding those books, Bai He embarked on the journey home. He didn't notice that not far away, a young girl was looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Master Yanihak and ...... White...... Clams?" the girl with straight brown hair and glasses had mispronounced Shiraga's name again.

"Hey, Hanna, what are you looking at?"

The sudden sound of the voice obviously scared Hana a lot, but when she turned around, the words of complaint in her mouth suddenly changed a little.

"Don't scare me, Lilyum. ”
