Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Gears That Begin to Turn in Every Sense

Hoshikawa Aoi waved her hand unnaturally, and greeted the two people standing in the open space with a smile.

"You still don't have the ability to resume flying?"

Li Wu wondered why she had come out of the bushes next to her.

"Halfway through the flight, the magic was not enough, so it fell."

She replied with a blank look in her eyes.

After converging, the three of them decided to walk first to find the place where Arissa's father had fallen.

The rising morning sun spits out the morning light, illuminating the three young girls who have been reunited.

"Can Arisa turn into a red dragon now?"

Li Wu brushed aside the branches that were blocking the way in front of him, and suddenly remembered this stubble.

It was like a typhoon in the vicinity, and there were fallen and broken trees everywhere, which should be the effect of the fall of the red dragon.

She thought blankly for a moment, then raised two small fists and clenched them in front of her chest, making a rather hard expression.

A pair of immature dragon horns seem to be small lotuses that have just revealed sharp horns, and they are powerless after just a few cents.

"Okay, it doesn't seem to work......"

Arisa said ashamedly, shrinking her horn back.

"That's good, please keep it up."

"Is this the new way of bullying?!"

Arisa was crying.

"No, think about what you can do after you become a dragon."

Li Wu reminded her not to forget the blackened version of Arisa's brain circuit.

Arisa didn't know what she was thinking, her face flushed, and she twisted her head to the side.

Then her field of vision was occupied by Aoi Hoshikawa, who suddenly poked out.

"What? Did Arisa do anything bad? ā€

She asked, curious.

"Nope! Didn't do anything bad! I want to be a good person! ā€

Startled, the vampire began to babble gibberish, jumped back a few steps, and bumped into Li Wu, who was walking on the far left.

In a weak state, he shook for a moment, and was pulled by Airisa in time to react.

Hoshikawa Aoi looked at him with some concern and took a few steps closer: "Classmate Li Wu, are you injured in any way?" ā€

"It's okay, maybe I contributed too much in the battle just now, I should just rest for a while."

"Hmm-"

The magical girl let out a nasal voice of distrust and circled him several times like a hound.

She suddenly stood on her tiptoes and announced in a tone like discovering a new world, "No, there is a wound on your neck!" ā€

Li Wu scratched the place where he had been bitten by Airisa.

The bleeding had long since stopped, and now there were only two red dots lined up and down, like the scars of snakes.

"That's—"

"Smack!"

The conversation was interrupted by a crisp sound, and Arisa kept a high-five, then spread her hands and read as if reading, "What a pity! Let it escape! ā€

She looked at Li Wu and blinked wildly: "The mosquitoes in this season are so annoying!" ā€

You've scolded yourself in!

"Mosquitoes? What kind of mosquito can leave such traces? ā€

Hoshikawa Aoi denied with common sense, "It feels like a creature like a snake......

"Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with my current situation, right?"

Li Wu changed the subject, "Don't delay, let's go." ā€

He was the first to step forward, and Airisa next to him hurriedly followed.

"But Li Wu is really careless, if I don't hold you in time, I'm going to fall."

"Who do you think harmed, and what about honorifics?"

"I think it's good to shout like that......"

Hoshikawa Aoi didn't move immediately, but put his hands behind his back and looked at the backs of the two people who were talking in front of him.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Why lie to me? ā€

She muttered to herself a little sullenly, "And...... Is it really that comfortable? ā€

She remembered what she had seen in the air, and the look that looked at the sky and looked at her, not at all like Arisa, and kicked away the pebbles at her feet in anger.

It's also their freedom to hide it, and it has nothing to do with themselves.

"But the matter of the hot spring hotel is directly told in the community!"

The ambiguous mood is like a cog that has been pushed, jerkily leaving a rut-like mark on the heart of a sixteen-year-old girl.

……

Compared to the two people who fell into the forest, the trail of the white dragon's fall was quite obvious.

A ditch had been left next to the Great Wild Turtle Rock, and a figure sat above the rubble at the end.

Li Wu didn't know how long a vampire's natural lifespan would be, but the third time he saw Erisa's father, he seemed to be ten years older, and he no longer had the elite middle-aged style he had seen before.

Arisa turned around like a pleading, and Li Wu gently pushed her back.

Although there are three people present, it seems that the vampire father has only one person in his eyes.

He struggled to squeeze the words out of his throat: "...... Well done, Arissa. Now it's yours stronger. ā€

"That's what you're talking about?!"

Arisa's tone was uncontrollable, with excitement.

"But you still need to temper yourself again, don't be arrogant."

Arisa took a deep breath and held back a small dragon horn.

She suddenly fell back to Li Wu's position and jumped twice on the spot.

Under the puzzled eyes of the other three people on the field, Arisa crouched down as if in a running position, and then rushed forward.

Arisa has learned a new skill: Cute Stars Fly into the Sky!

In the process, one person changed color: "You, what do you want to do?!" ā€

But such a shriveled words obviously did not stop Arisa from turning into a chariot, and she threw her head on her father's chest, knocking him off the rock, and falling to the ground on all fours.

"Oh my loins! You unfilial daughter! ā€

"Shut up, old, old thing!"

Erisa was obviously just imitating her in the half-dragon state, and said indistinctly, "How much trouble have you caused everyone!" Apologize for the incident first! ā€

"What did you say?!"

My father clutched his chest like a myocardial infarction.

"Does the honor of the Cepes family mean that they are cheating?"

Arisa folded her hands and looked down at her father.

As if he had been poked in the spot, he got up and looked at Li Wu and Xingchuan Aoi, and patted the dust on the suit that was torn in several places: "Indeed...... Because I was going astray, I was helped. ā€

"We helped because of Arisa, and I think you should apologize to her first, uncle."

Li Wu didn't expect that with the character of Airisa, he could directly attack his father with a headbutt.

Xingchuan probably has the same idea, and is still watching the father-daughter interaction with a new face.

Arisa did not give up: "Also, since Dad was defeated by us by relying on other people's dangerous experiments, it means that I am right." ā€

"That's right...... Although there is also a reason for being threatened by that guy, it is also true that he sought help from an evil sect. ā€

As if taken by his daughter's sudden burst of momentum, the beloved father sat on the ground honestly like a primary school student.

"So I'm not allowed to talk about conquering the world, the dark bloodline, and the fate of blood in the future!"

"Wait a minute, Erisa, did you tell them all about this kind of thing!?"

He asked in a panic.

Li Wu walked over sympathetically and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry uncle, I have a friend who also has this symptom, and it is estimated that he will not be able to change it when he grows up." ā€

"Is this the so-called second disease of the elderly?"

Aoi Hoshikawa mends the knife beautifully.

"In short, Dad should reflect on what he did wrong!"

Arisa's image of social waste swept away in front of her family, "I'm going to go back and sue my mother." ā€

"Wait a minute! Please don't do this alone! ā€

The father who was exposed in public and had a black history was about to cry bitterly.

"Miss Mary will need a new phone in the future."

"I'll change it! Girls should cultivate more feelings with dolls! ā€

"When I was browsing the web all night."

"Arisa is already amazing! Successfully awakening the dragon's blood is the pride of the Cepes family, and of course they enjoy the privilege of staying up late! ā€

"When I want to go to Li Wu's house to play."

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Just go. ā€

He rubbed his back molars and looked at the boy next to him with resentment.

Li Wu turned his head away from his gaze.

"Finally, don't pretend to be fierce anymore."

Arisa lowered her head and whispered, "I heard that little man say that you don't allow him to involve me in this nasty experiment. ā€

"Eri ......"

Perhaps it was at the moment when his father's majesty was completely shattered that he was able to put aside some prophecy and the honor of his ancestors and show a gentle smile.

"I'm sorry I didn't trust you to do the right thing alone."

The man glanced at the young man standing aside, "You have made friends to rely on and defeated your stupid and arrogant father." I'm proud of you, and it has nothing to do with whether or not you can become a dragon. ā€

Arisa still kept her head down.

"Arisa?"

Li Wu shook her.

"Yikes!"

The little vampire ran behind him, grabbed his clothes and ran head-on.

"What a way to express shyness!"

Aoi Hoshikawa ran behind her in a panic and tried to drag Airisa away.

Led by Li Wu, who is expressionless in the face of the strange unfolding, the three of them are connected as if they are performing a fable of pulling turnips.

"Hahahaha!"

The man who broke away from the white dragon laughed.

The family problems that once existed, after the heroic battle across the island, have become like pebbles in a stream, and they have been left behind as the stream flows.

……

After that, it's simpler.

Arisa's father accompanied them to meet the mountain teacher, who finally found out that there were three big people missing after a day and a night, and was so anxious that he almost jumped into the sea, saying that he happened to be here for a temporary matter, and took his daughter and her friends out for a walk so much that he forgot the time.

After being preached, the matter was revealed.

The dragon that descended on the fireworks festival last night seemed to have been twisted into a sudden stampede in the minds of ordinary people, but miraculously no one was injured.

As for the dead fish that popped up overnight on Lake Kamo, the roar that resounded in the sky, and the small hillside that was shattered, I believe that they will gradually fade into oblivion in the future, or become a new legend of Longdu Island.

Soon it will be time to leave the island.

Despite the strange stories such as "real ghosts were mixed in during the daring test" and "no one was affected by the stampede at the fireworks festival because the spirits of the gods at the nearby shrine were apparent", most of the students boarded the steamboat for the return trip with a satisfied mood.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ In the end, Xingchuan put a pressure cannon and took away the head of the white dragon, but the output of the big head really had to be me. ā€

Li Wu was talking to the light on the deck about the battle that took place on the island, and almost bumped into an oncoming girl.

They leaned against the railing behind the steamboat and watched the island of Longdu gradually drift away.

"It's worthy of Xiao Wu." Hikari praised, looking up to chase a white gull that had just flown over the sea, "What's that?" ā€

On a cliff above the island, there appears to be a black dot beckoning towards the ship.

Li Wu's pupils dilated faintly, and a faint reptile-like vertical pupil flashed.

After the appearance of the new text, his normal physical ability ushered in an improvement again, as for what it is...... Here is not a table for the time being.

In short, he saw the body of the black dot.

The giant he had encountered in Tokamachi was waving his hand, and above his head, the cross-legged Zashiki boy was waving his fist as if complaining that they would not say goodbye.

"Mercury moved to the island?"

Unexpectedly, the giants who promised not to destroy the fields of the surrounding residents would not destroy them again chose Longdu Island as their new habitat.

As if the journey was finally complete, the anomalies living on the other side of the coin said goodbye to the guests who visited the island.

……

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ The big head output really has to be me. ā€

Ryoko Aoki passed by the dark-haired boy and calmed down her nervous mind.

She hurried into the ship's bathroom, propped herself up on the vanity like a victim of a fire, panting in the mirror.

In the mirror, a beautiful blonde girl was reflected, but the strange thing was that the ends of her hair were dripping with blue liquid as if she hadn't rinsed off the shampoo.

She reached out and brushed her hair, and the liquid was gone.

"It almost scared the hell out of me."

Ryoko Aoki looked in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

"Today is also a day without exposure."

This school is so wicked.

It's okay to suddenly encounter a necromancer and a monster attack, and you can also encounter a dragon fight when you go on a study trip.

What's even more frightening is that there are humans in the class who can participate in this level of struggle - no, it must not be humans, probably aliens with monkey tails cut off or something.

"Monster...... Be sure to stay away from those guys and live a peaceful life like a plant. ā€

Never expose yourself.

Never participate in unusual events.

Be sure to make your dreams come true.

She reviewed her rules of life, patted her face, and was about to step out of the bathroom when the phone rang.

"Xiao Yui? Oh, what's the matter with me during my school trip? …… Ha? What's wrong with the new members?! ā€

Voices of astonishment echoed in the empty bathroom.

……

The students in Inaba have already boarded the train back to Chiyo City, and Hikari and Hoshikawa Aoi are arguing over the brand of chocolate chip biscuits.

A helicopter flew over the devastated hillside.

The sides of the plane are painted with four squares of four-color paint, with intricate rings, and an inverted triangle passes through the center, extending from its top upwards in a straight line, and at the end depicts a crown.

As soon as it hovered in the air, a human image jumped down impatiently, adding a new hole to the devastated earth.

She is dressed in a rather strange way, and in the summer season, she is covered in a white robe trimmed with gold trim, and she looks like a fanatical cosplayer.

The strange man in the robe walked straight to a large pit buried by splashed soil, and when he stretched out his right hand, a white scale flew out of it.

"What a carelessness!"

From under the robes came words that sounded like electricity.

She seemed to complain to someone: "I noticed several earthquakes before, but after defeating the boss, I completely forgot about it, and I was asked to clean up the mess." ā€

The sound of heavy objects trampling on the ground could be heard in the nearby woods.

"Niigata is originally located at the confluence of the earth's leylines, so earthquakes are frequent. This was exacerbated by the King's combination of dragon scales and the leylines here, and if he used it without permission, it would also cause Merusin to go berserk. ā€

Mercury came out of the forest and looked at the robed man warily: "Please put it back in the cave, or there will be another big earthquake." ā€

"Why else do you think I'm here for?"

She choked the giant hard.

Mercury remained vigilant: "With all due respect, I don't understand the meaning of you asking me to give him a message in Tokamachi, and judging from the results, this indirectly led to the failure of your plan?" ā€

"Failure? There was no failure, we originally expected Xiao Abu to become a dragon by himself, wasn't it also accidentally destroyed? ā€

She shrugged, "Actually, it doesn't matter who turns into a dragon, it's important that the dragon is defeated. This is the pattern of associations determined to destroy the world, do you understand? ā€

"I don't understand, I don't want to interfere in your affairs anyway, please take care of yourself."

The giant retreated into the woods.

The robed man stood silently, as if waiting for something.

Fleshy residues flowed from the mud and gathered into a face that belonged to Abu Hatak.

"Damn! How dare you use me as bait! This humiliation must be reciprocated to him......"

The vampire roared, "Hey, you're here to save me, aren't you?" Prepare fresh blood......"

She reached behind her back, drawing her arms from the void.

A cold flash of light flashed, and the blade passed through the vampire's last life force form, stabbing it to the ground.

It was a Western-style two-handed sword, with obscure runes with an ominous aura tattooed on its body, and it completely wiped out the ancient monster.

"All the goals are accomplished!"

The robed man drew his sword in joy and spun around in circles.

She looked up at the sky expectantly.

"When you have the opportunity to meet him officially in the future, can you pin her to the ground like this? What will you say then? ā€

She jumped into the helicopter that landed on the ground.

"According to Xiao Wu's interest, why don't you tell the story of Cadmus who was cursed by the god of war and turned into a dragon after killing the evil dragon."

As if telling a joke that she thought was funny, she laughed out loud.

"So-called, the brave will always become evil dragons."
