Chapter 8: Rainbow!
With the help of Ndoruffa, Krurufa casts a high magic spell to repel the Phoenix.
Their first reaction to the crisis is a reflection of who they are, and they are not going to kick the children out of the village without knowing if the phoenix will come back with a rifle, even if it is a nasty human.
And during the period from "staying in the village to guard against the return of the phoenix" to deciding that "one of them escorts the children home", they had to ask the children about the ins and outs, and the self-cooked represented by Xia, Elisa, Sakiya, and Peluxia took the opportunity to brush up a lot of favorability, and also mixed an Asian-style lunch.
"I'll be here." Krurufa, who personally sent the children out of the desert, still had an unhappy face.
The children waved their little hands goodbye: "Sister Krurufa, see you next time~"
"There is no next time, don't run to the desert again, next time you may not have such good luck." Krurufa coldly dropped a sentence and returned to the village with the illusion of disfigurement.
"That...... Can it be understood as 'the desert is dangerous, don't venture again'? Worthy of being a man with a father and sister who love to talk back, Alyssa easily grasped the subtext, "Lyle, you can lift the illusion spell." β
As soon as the words fell, there was a more Lyle who was munching on a watermelon next to him, and it was obvious that he was casting more than just a disguise spell to hide his body: "Looks like you've decided to give Lord Selzeveld a birthday present?" β
Alyssa chuckled, and the fact that Lyle had asked such a question was enough to prove that she was not the only one who had similar thoughts: "I think Miss Crurufa would be happy to show up on the day of the celebration...... What do you think? β
Thea nodded, "Although I don't know what happened in the past, both Miss Krurufa and Mr. Ndorufa are good people, and we should resolve the contradiction between humans and subhumans." β
"Mmmm~Harmony can make money~" The opening is related to money, and it must be Sakiya.
Because of the dry environment of the desert, Peluxia, who had once fallen into a state of salted fish, finally recovered after approaching the village: "Then cheer up and decide the winner tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!" β
"Oh!" The children subconsciously responded.
Tona, who rarely interjected, asked sharply, "...... So, how to resolve the conflict? β
"Well...... the children scratched their heads for a while, and finally all eyes fell on Lyle, who was still nibbling on watermelon.
The previous bitter meat trick was not a subtle ploy, but the effect was incomparably obvious, if it was an ordinary door-to-door visit, with the dislike of human beings formed by the subhumans since childhood, it would definitely not provide an opportunity for dialogue, and there would be no current feelings.
Dropping the watermelon rind and washing it with a clear spring like water, Lyle replied: "It's not clear what the old people in the village think, but the Yaren side is very troublesome, in the position of a victim, and the culture inherited from their ancestors is deeply rooted...... My personal opinion is to go with the flow, don't rush it, and simply suggest that Krurufa give Lord Selzeveld a birthday present. β
The subhuman village is located in an oasis in the desert, and it is no problem to survive with the ability of the subhuman race, but no matter how you say it, no one will dislike their living environment is too good, and it is too bad to persuade the victim to abandon their resentment from the position of a beneficiary.
"Shall we not do anything?" Thea puffed out her face.
"Isn't it a big move to let Krurufa go to the village of Hyareth?" Lyle shook his finger and said, "Age is there, you are the future of Xiareth Village, as long as you don't change your original intention and keep in touch, the conflict will naturally be solved after thirty years...... Until you learn to apparate, I don't mind being your vehicle. β
This time it was Peluxia's turn to puff up her face: "It's been too long!" People don't like this, so don't they have some short-term solutions? β
"Yes." Lyle put on a bright smile, "I'll beat all the subhumans by myself, kidnap them in the village, force them to live with humans, and if you show your kindness, you will be able to get together in less than a month...... After that, just find one of you to take the blame, she must have cast the Imperius curse on me. β
Sakuya shrunk his neck: "Wow~ This feels worse than the current situation." β
"To put it bluntly, the current situation in Yaren Village is okay, but it's not as good as it was back then." It's hard to comment, this is just the kindness imposed by the friends, and there is no consent from both parties at all," ...... Forget it, let's discuss it later, and tell me the conclusion tomorrow. β
"Huh? Won't you come back to the village with us? Photi looked at the sky, it was still early for nightfall.
"Please, don't I find a place to hide for a day or two, waiting to be scolded by the whole village? Of course, let you withstand the first wave of firepower. Lyle cast a phantasmagor, and vanished in an instant.
"Uh......" The children looked at each other, and their faces gradually became solemn.
γγγγγγ
"Daria, Margaret, please take me in for two nights!" Xiaopo Village is such a place, hiding in the village has no future, and the refuge point that Lyle chooses is the home of the elf sisters outside the village near the spring terrain.
"I agreed-Rainbow~!" Daria, an artist who was painting wildly with colorful paints, hastily agreed.
"Sister, don't just say yes without asking anything!" Although she is also a musician, Margaret's three views are much more normal than Daria's, and even more normal than most of the people in the village, "Really, don't always do things that will be scolded if you know that you are going to be scolded...... Monsieur and Madame Lemay will be anxious if they find out that you are not coming home. β
Lyle puffed out his chest and said, "Don't worry, they won't worry, because they can guess why I'm hiding." β
The key is that Lyle has the combat power to sleep in the wilderness and can't die, and the safety that parents are most worried about is removed, and the tolerance level is much higher.
"That's a big problem, isn't it?" Margaret smiled bitterly, and her brain made up the picture of Perenal's blood pressure soaring during the day, but she also extinguished her heart to persuade Lyle to return home, "...... Then again, are you really an Animagus? And it's a phoenix? β
"Phoenix!?" Daria's long ears moved, and he rushed to Lyle like a whirlwind.
When my sister went to the restaurant to play, she had been drawing at home, not knowing what was going on in the village.
"It's not the narrow-minded Animagus thing, it's just a general Transfiguration Charm." There are a lot of wizards who can turn enemies into animals, and there are very few Animagus who can turn themselves into animals, which is obviously not a technical problem, but the opposite under normal circumstances.
If analyzed from the perspective that wizarding magic is idealistic magic, the imagination of a wizard to produce [You are a dog] is far stronger than the imagination of "I am a dog", which is the difference in the difficulty of transformation.
"I can even transform into a creature that doesn't even existβ" Lyle transforms into a miniature version of the Rainbow Dragon.
"This is Rainbow!! My inspiration exploded!! β
"Wow~ Lyle, you will change back soon, sister, she will go crazy!"
