The Kingdom of Semulai, the town of Xiaozun

As soon as the sky broke, Eliz had already changed her clothes neatly, and before that, she had enjoyed the comfort of the morning bath. She was standing by the window, not because she could see the sunrise in this direction, but because she had a refreshing feeling. She opened the lock of the window and pushed it open in a gesture of embracing nature, inhaling the fresh air in a joyful manner. The morning air in the township was much better than she had imagined, and if she could, she would even like to stay in such a harmonious and relaxed town all the time. Although it is not impossible to achieve, she still has a lot of tasks on her shoulders, and she can't just slip away and enjoy happiness. And this time I came to Xiaozun, it was by no means a sightseeing, or something to embrace nature.

"I don't know how long this morning good mood can last?"

Eliz was a little worried, and this idea was not unreasonable. The group had originally come to fight an extremely dangerous monster, but a few days had passed, and the monster had still not been found. It's not that finding monsters is a needle in a haystack, because Eliz has a special physique, and she can sense the presence of heavy objects around her and their general strength. But when she arrived here with a ten-member team of people from the West Peak journey and the demon hunters of the Semulai Kingdom, she didn't know what the monster used, and she couldn't sense its existence at all. The thought of herself being in the air reminded of a megalomaniac who mocked herself every day and yelled at her to go back.

"The good mood of the day is half ruined."

Although she said so, the natural smile still did not change, and it seemed that it was just a simple complaint about the "megalomaniac". Of course, Eliz naturally won't let that person get his way, even if he can't sense the existence of the monster anymore, it doesn't mean that it really disappears. Moreover, the monster targeted by this mission is extremely dangerous, and if left unchecked, it will definitely cause a catastrophe. So after discussion, the group decided to live in the hotel temporarily and live a daily life of searching for things every day. It may sound like a tiring job, but in fact, they live a very leisurely life every day, enjoying the leisure that they can't experience in this daily life.

"Let's get ahead today."

As soon as Eliz pushed open the door to the room, she happened to meet a witch who was traveling with her, passing by the door, seemingly planning to go back to the room.

"Morning, Sister Aya."

Eliz said hello, and the woman called "Aya" turned her head and greeted in the same way:

"Good morning, little Leeds, is it up so early today?"

"No, no, no, how can you get up early, Sister Aya, you just went out for a run, right?"

It's not that Eliz observes very carefully, but it can be considered to be a little reasonable. But after all, a towel is hanging at the back of the neck, and even a fool can understand it if you think about it a little.

"Well, I go out every morning for a run of two or three kilometers, and then I go to take a shower."

Aya responded, the subtext being that she was going to take a shower next. So Eliz didn't plan to drag her any longer, but waved his hand energetically and walked downstairs.

"Do you go every day? Why haven't you encountered it in the past few days?"

Eliz was a little confused, feeling that what Aya said didn't match her actual situation, but maybe it was just a staggered one.

"Don't think about useless things."

Eliz said this to herself, and immediately patted her hand on her soft cheek, and flicked her delicate and fair skin gently. She was here to get rid of the useless thoughts in her mind and allow herself to concentrate on finding monsters. When I went down to the third floor, I found that there was no one in the hall, probably either because I hadn't gotten up yet, or I had gone out to play. But she felt that most people were leaning towards the former, after all, most parts of the town hadn't opened their doors at this time.

"Alas, if you go on like this, you will find the Year of the Monkey..."

It's not that Eliz doesn't like to stay here, it's just that she's a little tired of her improvised 'united' team. Most of the people in the team like to do their own things, and they are just running around in different places, and I don't know if they are seriously looking for them.

"Take that guy with you."

Eliz thought to herself and walked up the stairs again. Her target is the megalomaniac who lives on the second floor, Chris Young. It's not that it's necessary to take him with you, but it's certainly necessary. Not for anything else, but Eliz didn't want him to run around, and in the end no one came back. She knew the man, and she knew it was his usual trick. Eliz walked to the door of the fourth room and knocked on it. After waiting for a while, she found that no one responded, so she took out the key to Yoo's room, which she had kept all along. (She was afraid that this person would sneak out at night, so she made an agreement - unilaterally, let Yang Ao hand over the key to her for safekeeping)

Eliz inserted the key into the keyhole and, after turning it around, pushed the door open. But the room surprised her: the bed was neatly made, but there was no human figure. The windows are wide open, and the curtains are slowly swaying in the breeze.

"This guy really likes to surprise people..."

Eliz gritted his teeth and said, and immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Yangao's number, but the bell rang only twice before being picked up by the other party.

"Where did you go?

Eliz's voice was surprisingly calm, but the woman's extreme calmness was a harbinger of an impending storm. However, the other party is still inexperienced (female), so naturally he will not understand what crisis is hidden under this.

"I'm going to look for the monster."

The other party seemed to have a valid reason, no wonder he answered the phone so quickly, and it is not strange why he escaped directly through the window, it seems that he came prepared.

"Oh~ Chris, who we have always only known to play: Yangao, do you actually know to help me share the hard work?"

Obviously, Eliz is saying the opposite. But at this time, you can only take it hard, and the other party is still a scoundrel like Yang Ao, maybe he doesn't have the idea of being tough at all, he just does it as he likes.

"Ah, I've found something interesting, so I'll hang up first."

However, Yoo chose to ignore Eliz's words and instead planned to end the conversation. And before Eliz could get angry, he hung up the phone first.

“.. This.... Forget it..."

Seeing that the other party hung up the phone first, Eliz also gave up continuing to ask. After all, she is too familiar with this person, even if you reason with him, he will not listen to your reasoning, he only recognizes him. Thinking that he wouldn't be able to call him back anyway, Eliz planned to give him a "vacation" today. Everyone else has been playing these days, and it really feels a little uncomfortable to let this child-like megalomaniac restrain himself.

"I'm just one today.... Alas, sure enough, the mood of the day began to crack from megalomania. ”

Eliz sighed, she didn't plan to eat breakfast originally, but after doing this, she felt that it was not possible to go to breakfast to replenish her energy. The girl picked up her phone and looked at the time, it was just 6:10, and the breakfast provided by the hotel was at 6:40, that is, there was still half an hour. However, at such an early stage, there is a high probability that the other shops outside have not yet opened. In other words, she had to find a way to kill the half hour of free time.

"Let's clean it up a bit."

The cleaning that Eliz said was naturally not to help Yangao clean the room, and it was better to leave these things to the hotel's cleaning staff. She walked straight to Yoo's bed and dragged out a one-meter-long suitcase from under the bed, which didn't look like a suitcase for clothes. Eliz sat cross-legged on the ground and opened the box. Inside the box are neatly arranged on one side are handkerchiefs, mineral water, antioxidant detergents, etc., and even a whetstone. On the other side are three long columnar objects of varying lengths, which are tightly wrapped in white cotton, and it is impossible to see what is inside. However, judging from its shape, it should naturally be three knives. She took out her first knife and unwrapped the white cloth that had been wrapped around it, the shiny blade of which didn't seem to need any maintenance. Indeed, demon knives do not need to be cleaned, let alone oxidized, and naturally do not need to be polished.

But these prepared props are like a personal entertainment item, although they have no effect on the demon knife itself, but they need to be used to adjust. Cleaning the demon knife is like cultivating a bond with your own pet, which can strengthen the user's heart connection with the knife. However, Yang Ao, except for the most commonly used knives that will clean up by himself, the rest are basically cleaned by Eliz. Of the three in the box, only the one in Eliz's hand is the one he uses the least often. Of course, in addition to the three here, Yoo also has a knife that Yizhen carries with him, which should be regarded as his most commonly used, but it is not clear if it is his favorite knife.

Eliz took out a handkerchief from the side, tried to pour some water on it, and then added some detergent. She picked up the knife that had been "coldly treated" by Yangao, and wiped it upwards from a position close to the knife grid, leaving some water stains where it had been wiped. This knife is about 80 centimeters long, and although it is the standard length of Taidao, it is still the longest of the three knives, and the blade is bent sharply near the hand, and the blade near the root is wider, and the part near the front is sharply narrowed. Such a shape is typical of the Semulai Heian period Taito. The blade is in the shape of a crescent, and there is no inscription on the side, from this point of view, this should be the three days and the moon sect is near. Of course, this can't be the real thing, but a demon knife created by "Muramasa" - a knife that looks like the Three Days Moon Sect, and named it the Three Days Moon Sect, after all, the real thing is still being preserved in the National Museum.

After Eliz finished cleaning, he found that there was still a lot of time, so he cleaned the other two knives with him. When she was tidying up, she was ready to leave the room. She opened the door and was only halfway out when she saw another member of the team walking past her. So they looked at each other, and then the man pretended not to see it, and walked towards the corner with a provocative expression.

“... Mr. Makimura. ”

Eliz didn't think it was good not to say hello, but she didn't know what to say. And if she was in a hurry to explain, it would feel darker and darker, especially for someone like Makimura who was not serious.

"Oh, isn't this little Leeds?"

Everyone in the team calls her Little Leeds, perhaps because she is the youngest, but the concept of "team" does not include that person. Eliz felt that Makimura's aura was a little weird, but he couldn't say it, as always with a relaxed and casual expression, as always with a frivolous tone. But maybe this is a woman's sixth sense.

"-Are you going to eat?"

Illiz was about to change the subject, and he quickly made this suggestion.

"Oh, I'm not going to eat, I'm going to go out.

Makimura replied, seeing that Eliz was a little puzzled, he added:

"Remember the grocery store next to the school yesterday, there was something in it that I was interested in?"

"Then you don't have to skip breakfast, do you?"

Eliz felt a little nosy, but the other party explained:

"People, once you have something you want urgently, you can't bear it."

After saying this, which seemed to cover philosophical thoughts, Makimura turned around and waved his hand as he walked downstairs. Illiz was a little puzzled by what could have piqued Makimura's interest so strongly. But he couldn't get an answer from here, and he didn't look like he was willing to tell Eliz just now. So after not thinking about it, Eliz decided to go downstairs for breakfast first and replenish his energy before completing today's goal.

"Morning~ Little Liz, I didn't get up late."

Eliz took two steps, and the voices of acquaintances sounded behind him, and it seemed that his teammates had woken up one after another.

"Good morning, Gen-kun, it's just time for breakfast. After.

In fact, the age gap between the other party and Eliz is very small, but everyone is calling Little Leeds, and he is naturally used to it.

"Alright, let's go together... Wait a minute, how are you on the second floor with... Oh yes, it's in Mr. Chris's room...".

As he spoke, the words fell silent, as if he was always saying the wrong thing.

“.. That's right.... It's just a regular cleaning of the man's knife. ”

Eliz finally felt that there was a need for an explanation, although it was not clear whether the other party would accept it.

“... Is that so?"

Gen seemed to accept Eliz's words and nodded.

"Okay.. Let's go down and eat. ”

Eliz really didn't want to stay on the second floor, which was easily misunderstood, so he planned to hurry down, and Genya followed in approval.

"Oooo

There was the sound of walking upstairs, and just as Eliz and Gen walked to the stairs on the second floor, another familiar face appeared on the stairs of the third and second floors, a tall man in a black trench coat. The inner layer of armor could still be faintly seen at his neckline, and he looked like a demon hunter ready to fight.

"Hello ~ Brother Sino."

"Early... Mr. Tsushimano. ”

Si Ye didn't speak all night, just nodded briefly to the two of them, and the three of them walked downstairs together.
