Chapter 65: Running away from home
Although the situation cannot be said to be completely consistent, Li Wu still feels that it may be helpful to let Airisa see the Teraya siblings who also need to solve family conflicts.
After obtaining permission from Rika Teraya, he asked them about the date of the duel, and the reply was that it would be Sunday.
By the time they rushed back to school, it was almost time for school to end, and the two of them skipped school all day.
Li Wu threw the large bag containing the stolen goods into the guardhouse without anyone noticing, and then sneaked into the school with Airisa like a thief himself.
Most of the people in the classroom were already packing their things for club activities or returning home, and when they entered the door, they bumped into the Mizushima Wing in their sports attire.
He looked at the two of them in surprise: "Didn't you go chasing UFOs?" Did you find it? Alien? β
"Huh?"
"Light has spread the word that you have observed UFOs and have missed class to hunt aliens."
Hoshikawa Aoi held her forehead and followed: "It's very her style, right?" β
"That guyβ"
What is the difference between this lie and saying that they are looking for the treasure at the end of the rainbow!
But looking at the meaningful glances cast by the other people in the classroom, I knew that they didn't believe this statement either, but thought of something else.
After the three of Class B converged, they went directly to the activity room of the club, and Hikari was already waiting inside.
"Is there still something wrong with Shiratori-san?"
Hoshikawa Aoi looked around and didn't see the shadow of the president.
"She was summoned by the committee that codified the fate of the world, and she had to go to her own battlefield."
"The publishing house has something to look for her, that's it."
Li Wu translated the light language in a timely manner.
However, avoiding Shiratori Mao made it easier for them to discuss the events that had happened before, and Li Wu briefly recounted the process of catching the little goblin.
"Is this true?"
Hoshikawa Aoi was like a dragon who had seen a treasure, and her attention was all on the bag of gold that Airisa had shown.
"Judging by the leprechaun's reaction, it should be."
Li Wu picked out a handful of gold coins and threw them to the other three: "You'd better carry it with you during this time, and remember to give Shiratori a copy and find a way to let her accept it." β
"Even if Li Wu wants to share the spoils, wouldn't it be better to exchange them for banknotes?"
Hoshikawa Aoi held the gold coin, and in the sunlight it shone with a dazzling light.
"Is it like a spoil? It's a sanction for a thief β and you're not involved in the crime β I mean sanctions. β
"That's right, it's not a spoil, it's normal for gold coins to appear after defeating monsters, it's better to say it's a gift from nature!"
"There must be something wrong with Hikari's sensibility......"
"In short, it's not about money." Li Wu interrupted the scene of the commotion and concluded, "The truth of the theft and the water becoming clear has been solved, but there are still sightings of the Headless Horseman. β
Considering the werewolves, leprechauns, and Kelpi who have recently appeared in Chiyo City, Li Wu has reason to suspect that the Headless Horseman here is also referring to Durahan in Celtic mythology.
According to local legend, artifacts made of gold can induce fear in the monster and prevent it from taking away its soul-taking magic.
So out of preparedness, Li Wu decided to reserve this bag of gold for the time being, anyway, he has no financial pressure now.
"Will it be for Arisa too?"
Hoshikawa Aoi said as he collected the gold coins, "What does it mean that vampires want to deal with vampires?" β
"Probably the person behind it is a vampire, do you have any impression of Arisa? For example, what kind of clan has your family offended? β
Arisa shook her head.
The scene is at an impasse, and it is finally decided that Erisa will call home to explain the situation.
Maybe her parents knew something.
"By the way, when you didn't come today, the teacher announced the arrangements for the midterm exams and school trips."
Perhaps in order to liven up the atmosphere, Hoshikawa Aoi provoked another topic: "The first-year exam is next Tuesday, and after the end, I will go on a school trip on Friday, so guess where the location is?" β
"It's none other than those places, right? Kyoto or something? β
Li Wu guessed casually.
"Not really!" Hoshikawa gestured and said proudly, "It's a pity that Li Wu guessed wrongβthe correct answer is a tourist attraction in Niigata Prefecture!" β
Arisa's eyes widened as if she realized something.
"That's right, the location of this year's school trip is Longdu Island!"
I heard this name from Airisa last time, and it is said that it is an island where treasures are buried.
This was also too coincidental, and Li Wu couldn't help but wonder if the desire to go and see it at that time happened to activate the hidden effect of the self-fulfilling prophecy.
But Arisa, whose dream came true, was obviously a lot happier, and remained excited until everyone disbanded.
Generally speaking, since everyone goes home in different directions, except for Li Wu and Guang, it is time to separate when they walk out of the school gate.
But today, when walking on the road to the station, I could clearly feel a small tail behind me.
Li Wu turned his head sharply and saw a figure hiding behind a telephone pole, revealing a hairband.
He walked over, and the figure turned to the other side.
The light caught the stalker from behind.
"Don't ...... Touching the waist over there......"
The vampire girl who was tickled pharmed puffed and begged for mercy.
"Aren't you ready to go home?"
Li Wu looked at Arisa helplessly.
"I've already called my mom."
She avoided her gaze slightly.
"So where is Xiao Ai going to live tonight?"
"The carton will always be my warm home!"
It's definitely a hard mouth.
"That's too pitiful, I really can't help you."
"Little Light ......"
"Let's go to the park and learn how to set up camp?"
"I, sometimes I can't help but doubt our friendship......"
Li Wu imagined the scene after letting Erisa live in the cardboard box under his roof.
As he drifted off to sleep on his fluffy bed, the little garlic vampire leaned against the edge of the box, shivering in the cold wind of the early morning, and whimpering at the moon on the horizonβ
"I have a spare room in my house."
Due to Li Wu's final suggestion, it has become the current situation.
"Why did Hikari move in too?"
"What? Has Xiao Wu forgotten who came to wake you up every day? β
"It's an alarm clock."
"Who is preparing breakfast early in the morning and greeting Xiao Wu downstairs with a smile on his face?"
"I make it myself or eat Aunt Yuko's food."
"It's really too much, I will never wake you up by riding on Xiao Wu's body while calling my brother in the future!"
"Don't say like this happened! Do you think you can tamper with reality by making up some common childhood sweethearts in animation?! β
Erisa sat at the table on the first floor, looking at her childhood friend who was arguing with trouble.
Night has just fallen.
