"I'm sorry for causing you to fight with other communities, but I don't intend to reflect on my actions."
Yakumo Mo said in a monotonous, mechanical voice after Gilder left with a few harsh words.
"The competition is tomorrow!" "And we're fighting in the enemy's territory!" "Master Yakumo, are you sure you're okay with this?"
Black Rabbit hurriedly threw out a series of questions.
"Man!"
"You're not listening at all!"
Black Rabbit sighed and looked at Sixteen Nights, Fei Niao, and Yao.
"That …"
"I refuse."
"I haven't even said anything yet!"
"What you want to say is written all over your face." Sixteen Nights waved his hand. "They're the ones who started this fight, so let them settle it themselves. I'm not going to interfere."
"That's right."
"Seconded."
Black Rabbit lowered his head dejectedly, his rabbit ears drooping weakly.
"… Ahhh, I'm going crazy. Do whatever you want."
"Let's not talk about that for now. Black Rabbit and Ren, don't you think you should explain some things to us?"
Fei Niao knocked on the table and suddenly asked.
Black Rabbit and Ren's expressions froze.
"Just now, that annoying fellow seemed to have said … Your community doesn't even have a name?"
"Yeah, it's really hard to ignore."
"Same here. Please tell us the truth."
Eight-cloud Ink and Ashina looked at each other, and after Sixteen Nights and the others asked, they also looked at Black Rabbit and Yao.
Aistel, who had turned back into a human, stood quietly on the side.
Ren sighed, and Black Rabbit lowered his head in embarrassment.
"I-I'm very sorry. I'm sorry for keeping it from you guys … but we have our own difficulties."
"Our community was attacked by the Demon King a few years ago … The core members were all taken away, leaving only the children and Black Rabbit. I'm barely holding on …"
"Demon King?"
"That's right, the Hakata Calamity, the [Demon King] that has the authority of the organizer. Once they start a Bestowment Competition, the communities that are named can't refuse. They have to participate … In just one day, we collapsed …"
"… I see."
Yao nodded, and Black Rabbit looked over with fear.
"This matter ends here. I don't care what level the organization is at. What about you guys?"
"I'm not angry. Well, as long as I have three meals a day and a place with a bath, it's fine," Fei Niao said.
Ren's face froze.
"What's wrong?" Ashina asked in a low voice when she noticed Ren's strange behavior.
Ren lowered his head. "I'm sorry, but in the courtyard, if you want water, you have to either buy it or go to the river a few kilometers away to pick it up. Our community's situation is not very good, so there's no way to buy water. And to take a bath in this situation where there's no guarantee of a water source … It's completely a luxury."
"Is there no way to solve this?"
Sixteenth Night crossed her arms and looked at Ren.
Ren thought for a moment and said, "Go out the East Gate, the end of the world. The Mirage Beasts there have the blessing of the Water God. If we can get the other party's Water God Sapling, we won't have to worry about water. However, only Black Rabbit and I can participate in the Gift Competition in the Community. I'm not strong enough, and Black Rabbit is too restrictive … So …"
"Phantom beast? Is he very strong? "
Ren nodded.
"Oh —! That's so interesting. I'll go and take a look! "
Sixteenth Night immediately turned to leave, but Black Rabbit stopped her.
"Wait, wait, Lord Sixteenth Night!"
"Hmm?"
"That …"
Black Rabbit thought for a moment and said, "I was thinking that since the Gift Competition is tomorrow, why don't we go to [That and Yes] today to do a gift appraisal for everyone!"
"[That and Yes]? Is it also a community? "
“YES。 [That and Yes] is a guild centered around those who have the special "eye" gift. It's a super huge business guild that covers all the areas in the courtyard. Fortunately, there are branches nearby! "
"Gift appraisal …?" Eight-cloud Ink muttered.
"Of course, it's to identify the ability and origin of the gift. Only by correctly mastering one's ability can one maximize it. Everyone is also very concerned about where your power comes from, right? "
Black Rabbit sought everyone's opinion, and her eyes intentionally or unintentionally fell on Eight-cloud Ink.
"Although Lord Yakumo said that your ability doesn't come from a gift, it's not bad to go and take a look!"

The road leading to the shop was paved with neat stone slabs. The trees on both sides of the street scattered pink petals and grew green leaves and new buds.
"This is … cherry blossoms?" Flying Bird looked at the scene in front of her in surprise. "Why are there cherry blossoms in midsummer?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Shouldn't it be early summer now? "
"… No, I think it's autumn."
Then Flying Bird, Sixteenth Night, and Yao looked at each other with their eyes wide open.
Ashina and Eight-cloud Ink looked at each other. Eight-cloud Ink shook her head. "You guys, Black Rabbit said before that they were all summoned from another world, right? Did he say that there's only one other world? "
"Parallel world?"
"To be precise, it should be the 'three-dimensional intersecting parallel world theory.' It's very troublesome to explain. Let's talk about it later!"
Black Rabbit, who was walking in front, raised an index finger.
"Look, we're here!"
The shop in front of them had a blue aura hanging on it. There were two goddess statues looking at each other.
The female shop assistant wearing an apron standing at the door saw Black Rabbit and the others coming and immediately said, "Customers, please stay. The shop is not open outside the prescribed hours."
Unknowingly, it was already evening and the shop was about to close.
Black Rabbit was suddenly in a dilemma.
Sixteenth Night and the others behind were about to protest when a voice suddenly sounded.
"Yahoo!!! Long time no see, Black Rabbit!!!! "
A young girl with snow-white hair wearing a kimono rushed out of the shop.
The moment they heard the girl's voice, Eight-cloud Ink and Ashina suddenly had subtle expressions.
"Mo … why do I feel like …"
"Ah, I was shocked too …"
The girl who rushed out bumped into Black Rabbit. Then the two of them hugged each other and spun in the air a few times before flying straight to the shallow ditch on the other side of the road.
"Squeak!!!!"
The white-haired young girl who attacked Black Rabbit with Flying Strike buried her head in Black Rabbit's chest.
"Lord, Lord White Yaksha!? Why are you in such a low-level place! "
"Of course, I'm here to see that — cough cough, I'm here to see you, Black Rabbit! Hehe, is this place suitable? "
The perverted girl named White Yaksha kept rubbing against Black Rabbit's chest.
"Lord, Lord White Yaksha! Please let me go! "
Black Rabbit grabbed White Yaksha's head and forcefully pulled her out and threw her to the side of the road — which happened to be the direction of Eight-cloud Ink.
White Yaksha, who was flying in the air, saw Eight-cloud Ink in maid attire and widened her eyes in shock.
The ribbon under the big bow on Eight-cloud Ink's back seemed to have a life of its own. With a whoosh, it stretched out and wrapped around White Yaksha before smashing her to the ground with a bang.
"Oh my, you've gotten used to this outfit so quickly? You're really talented! "
Sixteenth Night immediately came up with an annoying smile.
"Do you want to die once?"
"… You're making a fool of yourself."
⑧
"Hey! You rude maid actually used this method to treat a beautiful girl you met for the first time! What are you doing!? "
"Beautiful girl? Pervert … You're a pervert, right? Yes? You must be, right? The moment I heard your voice, I was very sure! "
"What the hell!"
White Yaksha first snorted. After Eight-cloud Ink took back the ribbon, she got up from the ground and patted her clothes.
"Really, I'll forgive you just because you let me rub your chest! Although you have no boobs there and can't compare to Black Rabbit, I won't mind, okay? "
"Pfft —!!"
Ashina, Sixteenth Night, Flying Bird, Yao, and even Ren and Black Rabbit who just climbed up laughed out loud.
"You're really a pervert!"
Eight-cloud Ink stepped forward and pulled White Yaksha's cheeks to both sides.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle …"
White Yaksha waved her small hands and wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only make a series of strange gurgle sounds.
In the eyes of others, Eight-cloud Ink was just messing around with White Yaksha, but Eight-cloud Ink sensed that at that moment, White Yaksha seemed to have used a very mysterious ability to try to break free from her.
[Hey —!!]
White Yaksha's amber-colored eyes suddenly widened a little, then returned to their usual expression.
Eight-cloud Ink let go of her hand. White Yaksha blinked and looked deeply at Eight-cloud Ink.
"So that's how it is … It really came …"
