Lesson 16: Bouquets of Flowers for Thieves * 8

"I think it's a kind of dragon called Lintvlm." A dragon without limbs and wings. "

I see.

This way, it seems that the Gringo Spirit Lord was not the Great Serpent, but Lintvlm. Apparently, they've retracted their wings to save energy. It's a process.

When you start flying with your wings, it's finally a dragon, not a snake. Such a gringo spirit is flying around with me, so I'm still floating in the sky. What the hell is this?

"Ohhh... the cane is being carried."

”Yeah... I'm being transported...”

While feeling somewhat complicated, I was carried by the gringo spirit and taken straight to the corner of the room.

... wiped the dust off the corner of the floor with his tail, and the spirit landed there. I landed, too, and I poked the tile in the corner of the room with my tail and peeled it off.

"..... ah"

There's a letter written there.

One of the seven seals of the Demon King is behind the ceiling of this mansion. And the other one was hidden deep in the forest. Follow the glowing flowers. And the Spirit shall keep his seal. "

... yes.

Well, Spirit. The Spirit has been sealed by the Mage, right?

When I asked, my tail jerked up and down.

"But you're the one who wrote this letter, aren't you...?"

With this, my tail was twitching up and down like a bit of a problem. Hmmm...?

The wizard man deposited the seal on the spirit. Even so, the mage sealed the spirit.

... what is this all about?

Although the mystery was a mystery, we decided to leave the Mage's house for the time being. As a gringo spirit, he wanted to go out into the woods, so he left home and returned to the sun and the trees.

Phew! I can't breathe!

"Well, I knew it was dusty inside that house... no, I was pretty dusty when I saw it in the light."

"It's not like that bird."

... looking in the bright light, we're all covered in dust. Me, Faye, Crore, Laocles, the Knights of Bones, Halpuia, and three dogs with two-legged cows. They were all covered in dust. The bone knights somehow smiled at each other by wiping the gaps between their ribs.

And most of all, the birds are covered in dust and ashes.

This bird is completely gray and dull. Hmm, I want to do a full wash.

"... before the lunch, there was a water bath."

"Yeah. Um, Spirit." Isn't there a water field around here where you can take a bath? "

... so we decided to go to the waterfront with the guidance of the flying gringo spirit. No, I want to get hungry before I defeat the seal of the Tickling Fire King, and I want to do something about this dusty mess before rice... and then fight the flaming opponents in the dust, which I don't think is very good. "You don't burn easily and leave on purpose..."

"Well then, please go ahead. The Gringal Spirit Lord is the first bath, after all, and you should be with him." And birds, too. "

Yeah. Thank you.

... that's why it's a waterfront. There are a few narrow waterfalls that flow into a small pond that has a depth of about 3 meters. The depth of the pond is 10 cm in the shallows and about the depth of the hot spring. It's an ideal place to bathe in the water.

I'm going to be the first to take a bath with the gringo spirits and birds, so I'll take off my clothes and go into the water.

... even in autumn, the water is cold. But I thought it would be better than leaving it dirty, so I took a shower of water to remove the dust. It's not my forest water, but this water is also called "forest water", so it calms down a bit.

And the gringo spirit is swimming in the water somehow feeling good. I washed away the dust on my wings. [M] When I asked, "Does it feel good?", I somehow smothered my wings. Well, I guess it's been a long time since I was sealed up and locked in the basement, and it's been a long time since I've had a bath outside.

By the way, the bird has no hesitation. As usual, it's a bath in the water, shabby, and jumping up the water. "I wonder if I can do a slightly more normal bathing..."

Then I took turns bathing and everyone was refreshed.

By the way, how to dry your body is easy. When Fei's fire spirit entangles us and I'm shy, my body is already clean and dry. "It's convenient, Fire Essence..."

"Well then, shall we have lunch?" I wonder if the Gringo spirit can have some more? When you were able to refill your magic power, you must be hungry again. "

As soon as Crore smiled and opened the lunch basket, the gringual spirits stopped by and started eating sandwiches from Crore's hand.

Look at that, we're having lunch too. The large basket is packed with rice, so we all share it, and the monsters are full of rice, and I'll draw out the missing parts...

...... Suddenly, Lao Cres narrowed his eyes steeply.

"It's close. They're here again." I don't know if I'm watching this... "

When I thought, "What?" Crore looked just like Lao Cres.

"Leave me alone, I won't be here for a while anyway."

... oh, Mr. Luster. It's done.

I have no idea where he is... but for now, I know there are signs. It's like something alien has fallen into the woods.

The same feeling as me seems to be felt by gringo spirits, and with a little restlessness, my tongue is pulling out and retracting.

"... um, Crore-san"

"What's the matter, Mr. Tougo?"

So I suddenly wondered and asked. [M]

"...... Crore, were you okay while you were bathing?"

Huh?

”Oh, um... I didn't get a peek?”

... and at that moment, Crore started laughing.

”Fufufu, do you care about that?”

Well... I'm curious. I'm worried somehow. I know you're not the kind of person I'm worried about, Mr. Crore, but...

It's okay.

However, Crore said, grinning and grinning at my cheek.

I can show you my hallucinations.

... the journey.

"Successful. So the opponent hasn't looked at us strangely..."

That's right. So, you won't be attacking me for a while anyway.

Kroa-san... Kroa-san, I see. Yeah. You really didn't have to worry about me.

Then we finish our lunch and spend a relaxing time watching Faye lying on the meadow, watching Halpuia and the three-necked dog flying around with a biped cow sitting in gymnastics, or loosely wrapped around a gringo spirit.

... it seems that Mr. Luster is still seeing hallucinations.

From now on, we were going to go to the place where the gems of the seal were hidden after being guided by the spirit of the gringals, but before we did that, I wanted to take care of Mr. Luster. I start to see the clouds of sealed jewels clinging to him, and I feel something troublesome.

So... I'll have a little meeting to decide what to do with Luster, and then I'll wait a little longer until the magical effect that Crore has on me expires.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. My arms are just fine."

"It's okay." I'm having fun. "

And now, I'm going to draw Crore and the Gringo spirit. Just in time, the gringual spirit wrapped loosely around the sitting Croa-san, so the composition is drawn as it is.

The gringual spirit seemed to like Crore-san's eyes, and she looked satisfied when she peered into Crore's eyes. I know how you feel. Crore's eyes are the color of the woods.

As I drew, Faye, who was spending his time scrubbing Halpuia, suddenly heard.

"... by the way, what is this Luster?"

Huh?

Kindly, Mr. Crore. Somehow the awkward feeling between me and Lao Cres.

"... oh, shouldn't I have asked? I'm sorry"

"No, it's okay, but..."

Yes, looking at Crore who started to think about it, I became restless, and while Laocres was looking at the three-necked dog, his ears were definitely facing this way.

"... well, when I say it, right?"

... staring at Crore, who started talking, and feeling nervous for some reason...

Ex-lover, right?

... I've been told quite a few ridiculous things!

"Koi, koi, koi"

"Ahh, don't get me wrong." Well, I'm about the age of Mr. Togo. At that time, he was even lower... well, maybe a little higher than Lian. It's something that persistently comes to me. Well, since I was a cute junior, I decided to go out with you... "

... I wonder if junior high school students will admire their high school sisters. Oh, my God, this is, uh, this is a freaky story.

"It's just... he's too childish." [Karen is mine] I've been listening everywhere, and I've been getting in the way of my work, so I waved it less than two months after I started dating her. ”

Faye whistled, and Hugh whistled. I'm not in the mood for that!

"But whether I shake it or not, I'm very persistent." In the meantime, I bought my abilities and started working close to my father, and now I can finally escape. If I thought that this guy hadn't been able to see well at all, it seemed like the stealing arm was excellent... and it became my neighbor's place of work a few years later... "

"You're a stupid one..."

"Yeah, really. I'm in trouble. It's fine if you're a cute little kid, but even if you grow up to be a persistent guy, it's really out of your hands."

Hah, and as Crore sighed, the gringual spirits began to stroke Crore's head with their tails, as if to say, "Alright." I'll do the same. Okay.

"Well, that's how it is." You still think of me as your own woman. Hah, I didn't expect you to get so obsessed with me..... "

That's what Crore said, exhaling a sigh, and scratching it in my hand, I was supposed to stroke Crore's cheek sometime. It's a bit unsettling, but Crore looks very happy, so I guess.

"... if you persist that much, I don't think you'll be able to hit me."

After Crore had scrubbed me and the gringo spirits all over, Lao Cres said that with an extremely sinister face. While the usual Lao Crescent standing in the armrest, the expressions of awe, confusion, and disgust mingle with each other, creating a very intimidating feeling.

"That's right. I was thinking of killing you, too.

Crore also said a lot of noises... and suddenly turned his green eyes towards a certain tree.

"... hey, what do you think? You're listening, right? It's about time you solved the magic, right?"

... when Crore said that, there was a clattering sound... and a fluttering figure fell from the tree.

The man who landed beautifully comes towards us with his blonde hair swaying.

... a man passed by in the staircase leading to the basement. Mr. Luster.

"Yes, everyone! Surround him!" Don't let him get away! "

And the next moment, Mr. Crore started to say that with a handful of bread.

... all at once, the Bone Knights, Halpuia, the three-necked dog, the two-legged cow, and the birds. Moving all at once, he began to surround Luster-san.

Luster quickly pulled out his knife and tried to fight back, but the Bone Knights were overwhelmingly faster.

When the Bone Knights lightly moved their swords, Luster's knife quickly bounced.

Halpuia rattled against me, kicking Luster out of the sky and knocking her down.

... and the bird that flew out of the sky landed on Luster.

Kyoko nodded with satisfaction as she looked at the birds who were shouting out their voices.

"A lot of violence... that's good!"

Ah, yes.
