"Teacher, that's about it. So, the release of the illustrated book, please delay it a little longer. ”

In the courtyard, Xia Yan, sitting in the shade of a tree, looked up at the blue sky, on which there were velvety white clouds, and said to the other end of the phone.

“...... I understand. ”

On the phone, Dr. Ohki's voice rang out.

Natsuhiko lay on his back on the soft grass, beside him, the fairy Eevee, carefully massaging his body with silk.

"Ferry them, go back?"

Speaking of crossing a few people, Xia Yan suddenly came to his senses again.

I couldn't help but smile and said, "Hmm." This time, it is estimated that the return of the dragon king and the taking charge of the city will be staged. ”

After a short pause, he added, "It is estimated that Daigo will also become the richest champion in history." ”

Hearing this, Dr. Ohki couldn't help but laugh.

"You've made some really good friends."

"Really?"

Xia Yan has always been very fortunate to be able to become good friends with the people.

"So what are you going to do next? Wait quietly for the other party to hold back first? Dr. Ohki asked again.

"Perhaps...... I should find a way to get you back as soon as possible. ”

Although he woke up, his physical injuries were not fully recovered, especially in terms of mental strength.

Now, whenever I try to use my superpowers, I feel a tingling sensation in my mind.

Although there is no big problem with walking, when you want to exert yourself, you will inevitably feel a little sore.

It stands to reason that with his physical condition, even if his body was severely damaged after that interception, he should not have fully recovered after a week of sleep.

He is a superpower, and he has the power of a waveguide, and his physical fitness has long surpassed that of ordinary humans.

But this time the injury was very wrong.

Xia Yan seriously suspected that it was the reason for the special "spiritual seed" given by the Lei Guanwang.

Without waiting for Dr. Oki to answer, Natsuhiko continued, "That's right, teacher. Teacher Kikuko, please inquire more about the news. ”

Many forces have been looking for Kikuko for so long, but they haven't been able to get any news about her.

Even if he had confidence in Kikuko's ability, Xia Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

"Rest assured. I probably know where Ju is. ”

I heard Dr. Oki continue: "Since you don't need to publish the illustrated book for the time being, then my old bones can also be moved. ”

"Huh?"

Xia Yan stood up and blinked, a slight look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Teacher, you mean....... You're going to go out yourself? ”

Dr. Ohki, who has been silent for so many years and has completely faded out of the field of vision of all trainers, is he going to make a move?

"Hehe-I hope that after so many years, my old bones can still play a role."

In this regard, Dr. Oki did not shy away from it.

Xia Yan suddenly perked up.

Natsuhiko has always had some guesses about Dr. Ohki's strength, but he doesn't know to what extent.

He didn't believe it.

After Dr. Oki abandoned martial arts, he stopped cultivating his elves.

This.

He actually wants to pick up the Poké Ball again and pick up the identity of the trainer for the sake of Kikuko?!

This is much more shocking than "the return of the Dragon King and the control of the city" to Xia Yan.

And.

Listening to Dr. Oki's meaning, he seems to be sure that he will find Kikuko?

"You don't have to be surprised. This is a historical problem left over from our older generation, but no one has picked it out in the past so many years. Now that you young people are rushing to the front, if we old guys are still timid, it is inevitable that we will really be looked down upon by you. ”

From his words, Xia Yan actually faintly felt a trace of the momentum of the former trainer Yukinari Ohgi.

"You take care of your injuries. There are some things that we can still help. ”

After saying that, Dr. Oki left a "That's it" and hung up the phone.

But even after the call ended, the surprise in Xia Yan's heart still couldn't completely dissipate.

He looked sideways at the fairy Ibu beside him and muttered, "Dr. Oki is going to go out of the mountain again for the sake of Kikuko-sensei?" What exactly is human nature....... Uh, that's the power of twilight? ”

"Boubb—"

Fairy Eevee also showed a hint of surprise.

That obscene old man who likes to stare at it with a magnifying glass, can still fight?

Xia Yan grinned.

Slowly stood up and dusted off the grass clippings on his body.

"Then we young people, don't lose to the older generation.......

"Boo!"

...

...

"I've arrived. I leave it to you all about the strange and huge things. ”

Xia Yan ended the call with Ah Jian.

Thankfully, although the Coalition has announced his identity as a "traitor", in the absence of substantial evidence, his supporters and critics are divided between him and outside the Alliance.

And the newly formed Interpol Division in the Galel area, headed by Ah Jian and Asahi, is still under his orders.

Put away the phone.

Looking at the remote city in front of him, where modernity and history are intertwined, Xia Yan took a deep breath.

"What a place."

Right now.

He's in the city of Mirifa, a town on the edge of the Galel region!

It stands tall in the middle of a vast jungle.

Judging from the style of the houses, you can still see many classical-style buildings, such as the tallest twin tower castle in the center of the city.

But standing on the streets, you can experience the modernity of the city, and the technology of traps can be found in all corners of the city.

This is probably the characteristic of many towns in the Galel region today.

It retains traces of history, but it is also filled with modern technology, which is probably the case with the famous cities of the Galel region, such as Jiqing City and Fist Seki City.

on the streets.

You can see the friendly side of humans and elves here.

"Garbage collection. Please feed the garbage directly to my broken bag, which can decompose and digest the garbage without causing any damage to the environment. Oh, rest assured, my ragged bag is professionally trained and it doesn't emit odors, let alone release toxins. Please be assured that we are professional. ”

"Edelweiss costumes. A garment woven with the silk threads spit out by the edelweiss moth, it will make you feel the coolness of winter on a hot summer day. ”

"Ice cream! Frost Milk Fairy's handmade ice cream, an ice cream made from cream made by Frost Milk Fairy's own hands——"

“...”

Human-elf shops of all kinds can be found throughout the streets.

It shows that humans and elves get along with each other and cooperate with each other vividly.

Entrance to the library.

"We humans, only by working together with the elves, can we make the best use of each other."

"Elves are our friends, loved ones and even ....... Lover. I have had the privilege of seeing stories in ancient areas with a long history of humans and elves falling in love and giving birth to offspring....."

Actually, we might as well make a bold assumption. Perhaps, human beings themselves are a relatively special branch of many elves? ”

The more Xia Yan listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

No.

It's the one who speaks out that is wrong.

Do you have the ability to replace the Shanaiduo next to you with a flashing mother's power, and then preach these words?

That credibility must skyrocket.

Bring only Shanaiduo......

"Boo?"

Fairy Ebu blinked and looked at Xia Yan, her flickering eyes full of curiosity.

Can humans really have offspring with elves?

"Ahem." Xia Yan coughed lightly, "But what he said is not completely empty words. ”

"Boo-tah?!"

The silk wrapped around Xia Yan's arm by Fairy Ebu tightened a little, and the shock overshadowed the surprise.

Xia Yan pressed his hat, "I've also seen such a book in the Sinnoh's Water Vein Library. And most importantly....... I've probably seen people like that. ”

In his mind, he couldn't help but flash the handsome young man with strange green hair and a strong affinity with the elves.

It is said that that guy is very likely to be the offspring of humans and elves.

Even.

Xia Yan actually sometimes wondered how much more physically qualified than ordinary people and had never heard of his father's rumors, how ....... he was emmmm.....

And also.

also has a strong affinity with elves, and Coco, a real-life version of the "wolf child" who was adopted and raised by Salud since childhood, may be more like his relative to him than humans.

There are so many PhDs in Elves, so many research results, but there is always one that has plagued countless genius doctors, and it has been slow to obtain substantive results.

That's the bond between humans and elves.

The power of bonding is really inconspicuous when it is inconspicuous.

But if it falls into the hands of a trainer who can really use the ability to bond......

Seed explosion seems to have become their regular method.

Typically, it is the kind of people like Crimson and Ash.

"Bubu Bu Bu - Boo Boo-"

Fairy Eevee shook her head vigorously, still a little unable to believe that humans and elves were giving birth to offspring.

"Boo!"

To divert attention.

Fairy Eevee decisively shifted the target to the ice cream parlor not far away that exuded an enticing aroma.

The frosted milk fairy, which is as cute as a fresh milk cake, is standing in front of the transparent glass counter, waiting for the arrival of customers with its hostess.

Bu Ji Bu Ji –

Fairy Eevee walked happily and ran to the counter under Xia Yan's helpless gaze.

"What a cute fairy Eevee, do you want ice cream?"

When the young store manager saw Fairy Eevee, he was immediately attracted by its cute appearance.

"Milk Fairy~~"

The Frost Milk Fairy also bent her eyes and whispered softly, welcoming the customers who came to the door.

Xia Yan walked slowly, throwing out a few Poké Balls in his hand again.

"Cha Ke Babble!!"

Really.

Porkies, who is the most enthusiastic about ice cream, has his eyes lit up when he saw the delicious ice cream.

In addition to this, there are the Nine-Tails and the Green Onion Rangers.

"Gah-"

The onion rangers burst into tears.

Natsuhiko finally thought of it.

And seeing Xia Yan coming, the female store manager realized that Xia Yan was the trainer of these elves.

Four elves at once, this is a big customer.

She hurriedly began to sell the ice cream flavor.

"It's caramel blueberry flavored, blueberries neutralize the sweetness of the caramel but retain its sweet taste, and also incorporate the blueberry fragrance and a little bit of acidity. This is a creamy flower tea flavor, which is made of delicate cream combined with slightly bitter flower tea, and the taste is very layered.......

Finally, this is the signature work of me and Frost Milk Fairy, Strawberry Vanilla Flavor, which is made of cream made from strawberry raw materials by Frost Milk Fairy and decorated with vanilla by me......"

The female store manager and enthusiastic, the frost milk fairy is also very cooperative.

Even, the Frost Fairy secretly secreted a little bit of its unique cream, allowing Pokkis and Fairy Eevee to taste it first.

I don't know this, and I can't take a step forward when I taste a few little guys.

Looking at their eager eyes, the female store manager and the frost fairy were very satisfied.

The quality of the cream that Frost Milk Fairy can make depends not only on its strength, but also on the bond between the trainer and it.

The happier the cream fairy feels, the more fragrant the flavor of the whipped cream becomes.

"Bu Te ~~"

The fairy Eevee, who reacted, hurriedly wrapped Xia Yan's arm with silk, shook it vigorously, pouted his small mouth, and sprinkled coquettishly.

"Chaco babble~~"

Pokkiss also hugged Natsuhiko's other arm, blinking his big eyes, almost missing the words "I want to eat" on his face.

on this.

Xia Yan could only hook the corners of his mouth that couldn't be calmed down, and scolded with a smile: "A group of snack goods." ”

Hey, hey, hey, hey-

The four little ones suddenly smiled smugly.

They know that this ice cream can't run away.

"Please, give us the maximum portion." Xia Yan said with a smile.

Hearing this, the female store manager's eyes lit up, "Want a rainbow?" ”

The so-called "rainbow" is actually an ice cream made up of seven ice cream balls of different colors.

Look at the little ones' star-sparkling eyes and their heads like pounded garlic.

Xia Yan could only nod.

Seeing this, the female store manager hurriedly got busy with the frost milk fairy.

It's big business.

While waiting, the female store manager didn't forget to chat with Xia Yan.

"Sir, are you from out of town?"

Xia Yan was slightly stunned, "Is it obvious?" ”

"No, it's just because I'm familiar with the people in this city, and I've never seen you yet."

Xia Yan nodded abruptly.

"But you came at the right time. Tonight we have our annual 'Fireworks Display' in Mirifa City, where you can enjoy the beautiful fireworks in the square with your elves. ”

While speaking, the female store manager handed a finished rainbow ice cream to Xia Yan.

The seven ice cream balls on top of the cone, just looking at it, made people subconsciously swallow their saliva.

And the sight of the little guys, Pokkiss and Fairy Eevee, was also attracted at the first time.

"That's good." Xia Yan responded with a sentence.

"And it seems that you and your elves have a really good relationship, sir......"

Saw.

The fairy Eevee standing on the ground made a leap forward, and the silk rose to the height, trying to pick up the ice cream in Xia Yan's hand.

Pokkis was even more crisp and flew straight over.

Rao is the nine-tailed of the few little guys who are not so eager for ice food, and they all extend their tails to pick it up at this time.

Seeing this, Duck Duck leaned against his chin and looked at Pokkiss, Fairy Eevee, and Nine-Tails, and fell into a brief contemplation.

It knows.

If you really want to grab it, it can't be grabbed, and there is no advantage.

So.

You have to activate its nimble brain.

Suddenly.

Duck's eyes lit up.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, one leaped to his feet, ignoring Pokkis's movements, under their stunned, incredulous gaze.......

"Poof—"

From the bottom up, a little droplet, spitting out.

Natsuhiko: "..."

Female store manager: "..."

Little Ones: "..."

Bang Bang –

After landing on the ground, the duck duck crossed his hands on his waist, looking complacent and calm.

You grab it, let's not fight.

A minute later.

The noble knight with two panda eyes, a blue and purple body and a little ice crystals sticking to it, was contented with the rainbow ice cream and licked it carefully.

The next second.

A shudder.

"Gah-"

He had a happy expression on his face.

“..... Heh, heh, hehe - what a relationship. ”

The female store manager finished saying this sentence with extreme embarrassment.

Xia Yan couldn't wait to find a crack to get into.

Duck Duck this old six.

But don't say it.

It really worked, and Pokkiss beat it up instead of grabbing the ice cream.

Even.

Later, when the female store manager handed over the ice cream again, they all became very friendly and excused each other one by one.

I'm afraid that there will be another guy like Duck Duck who doesn't follow the usual path.

"Alright, sir, a total of five rainbow ice creams, and you will be ...... in total."

The female store manager and the frosty milk fairy wiped the fine sweat on their foreheads at the same time.

Making colorful ice cream is not only a manual job, but also a technical job.

"Uh...... Maybe I didn't make it clear, I didn't just ask for five ice creams, I probably wanted ......"

Xia Yan waved his finger.

"Forget it. Do as much as you want. ”

Although he only summoned four little guys, he couldn't favor one over the other with such a delicious ice cream.

"Huh?"

The female store manager and the frost milk fairy froze.

The special was the Frost Milk Fairy, who looked at his trainer with a slight tear.

"Milk, milk fairy?"

They want to drain me?

Half an hour later.

Prostrated the female store manager and the frost milk fairy, tired but happy to look at Xia Yan who left, and a large number of his elves.

This single is a lot of money.

But in the future, such orders will not be accepted.

...

...

Boom Boom Boom –

Brilliant fireworks render the hazy night sky.

The clouds like black velvet are dyed into colorful colors.

"Chaco babble—"

Pokkiss's eyes shone with a brilliant rainbow light.

It's so beautiful.

The city of Mirifa is most famous for its "fireworks display", which attracts people from all over the Galel region.

Meantime.

There is also a legend circulating in the city of Mirifa.

Outside of Mirifa, in the vast jungle of Okoya that surrounds the city, there lives a rabbi of time who guards the forest.

From the very beginning, the annual "fireworks display" was held by the people of Mirifa, in order to thank the rabbi for bringing a quiet and peaceful environment to the city and the forest.

Merely.

I don't know why, decades have passed, and the Rabi of Shirabi, who is the guardian of the Okoya Forest, has never appeared again.

Reputedly.

The rabbis of the times will only appear in times of true peace.

And now that the city of Mirifa is still quiet and peaceful, it can only mean that in the Okoya forest outside the city of Mirifa, there are things that the rabbis do not want to see are happening or continuing.

Natsuhiko's purpose in coming to Mirifa City and to the Okoya Forest is simple.

In the middle of the city of Mirifa, in the vast forest, there is a very unique sacred tree.

From the sacred tree, a strange spring will continue to flow, and eventually converge into a lake around the sacred tree.

The water of the lake, known as the "Healing Spring", has a strong healing power.

Legend has it that 3,000 years ago, after the legendary heroes Cangxiang and Zangmarant defeated the "Wild Night" and slew the Infinite Taina, they dragged their tired bodies to a hot spring in Zhanjing Town to recover their injured bodies.

That hot spring was called the "Hero's Spring" by later generations.

However, after the tests of later generations, they found that in fact, the "Fountain of Heroes" did not have a real healing effect, and it must have been specially treated by Cangxiang and Zangmarant at that time.

Natsuhiko guessed.

At that time, Cangxiang and Tibetan Marant actually added the spring water of the "Healing Spring" obtained from the Okoya Forest to the "Hero's Spring".

Since even Cang Xiang and Zang Marant's injuries could be recovered, Xia Yan felt that he had such a "small injury", if he could soak in the spring water, it was estimated that he would be able to recover soon.

But.

If you want to soak in the spring water, you probably have to pass the level of the Salud clan of the Guardian God Tree first.

Of course.

The bigger premise is to find the Sacred Tree first.

This may not be easy for others, after all, the Okoya Forest is a very large jungle.

But for Xia Yan, it is not difficult.

When the last fireworks burst into the night sky, all that was left was the lingering smoke and the smiles on the faces of the people and elves.

"I'm done. It's almost time for us to go. ”

The elves nodded contentedly.

It was rare to enjoy a brief period of calm.

Next, it's time to work hard to help Xia Yan recover.

"Phantom Pony."

Xia Yan shouted softly.

Sigh Rule!!

Da Da Da –

The hazy black mist quickly spread behind Xia Yan, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves and neighing also sounded.

The handsome dark horse spirit horse stepped out of the black mist.

"Whew-"

The ghost horse snorted as he stood still.

Then, as if thinking of something, he put away his pride and looked around cautiously.

Although his eyes are closed, he opens his perception to the maximum.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yan couldn't help laughing, and said after laughing dumbly: "Don't worry, Leshiram is not here." ”

Hear the words.

The ghost horse secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it hurriedly shook its head and held its head high, indicating that it was not like this because it was afraid of Leshiram.

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Right? I think too. So I'd better call Leshiram, after all, if it's there......."

"Wow!!"

The spirit ghost horse was excited, and the huge spiritual power that spread up hurriedly supported Xia Yan and put it on his back.

Then he opened his hooves and walked deep into the Okoya Forest.

As a divine beast with super perceptual ability, the spirit horse has a very high sensitivity to the surrounding environment, and when the Thunder Crown King rides it, even their perception ability can spread to a distance of fifty kilometers.

Moreover, the black mist condensed by the spirit horse can devour the life ability of living beings, and its perception of life energy is far beyond that of other elves.

"Hahaha-"

Natsuhiko laughed as he rode on the back of the ghost horse and led the elves into the Okoya Forest.

"The one who rides a white horse is not necessarily Tang Seng, and the one who rides a black horse calls himself a 'Black Nightmare Knight', right? Darkrai. ”

[Do you have to put the word 'nightmare' with you? 】

"No way, my lord has 'money ability', and I only have superpowers. Reluctantly, he changed his name and used it. ”

A line quickly disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

I don't know why.

Although he was injured and there was always a danger to his life that could suddenly appear, Xia Yan was in a good mood.

Probably.......

It was influenced by the atmosphere of harmony between humans and elves in Mirifa City.
