Box Court, Northeast Boundary Wall, Free Area, Commercial District, Red Window Corridor.
In the huge cloister that was completely covered with red glass, there was a huge stream of people, shoulder to shoulder.
Eight-cloud Ink walked on the left, Ashina walked on the right, and Aistel held each other's hands as they moved forward.
At first glance, they looked like a harmonious family of three.
However, because of Eight-cloud Ink's outfit at this time, which was a gothic loli outfit, in the eyes of others, this scene looked like an elder sister taking her younger sister out for a trip.
"With so many people here, Black Rabbit shouldn't be able to find us, right?"
"Who knows? That rabbit's ears are connected to the center of the Box Court, maybe it can find us. "
Ashina nodded, then looked at the lively celebration around her and became excited again.
"I haven't come out like this with you in a long time!"
"… Are you complaining to me?"
"Ah …" Ashina winked at Eight-cloud Ink, smiled and did not answer. Instead, she changed the topic, "The customs here are completely different from the Eastern District."
"Well, after all, they are different areas, and the Box Court is so large, the distance between the Northern District and the Eastern District is enough to meet the conditions for the formation of different civilizations."
After walking for a few hours, Ashina and Aistel both bought some gifts that interested them. Then the three of them came to the center of a corridor decorated with red bricks and carved glass and sat in front of a monument to rest.
Aistel sat quietly on a bench, holding a snack that looked like an apple candy in her hand. She stuck out her cute little tongue and licked it.
Yakumo Mo leaned back in her chair and looked at the people around her.
Ashina seemed to be in high spirits, and it didn't take long for her to stand up again and look around at the exhibits sent by different communities.
He spun in circles, then ran to a counter and spun in circles again.
At this time, Asuna no longer looked like a married woman who had been married for many years, but the young girl he first met in SAO.
Although her appearance had not changed, she had already lost her girlish look over the years, and it was difficult to see her as a little girl. Seeing such a rare scene, Eight-cloud Ink stopped looking at the decorations and quietly looked at Ashina with a smile on her face.
[It's rare to have such an opportunity, why don't we spend more time outside … Black Rabbit should be fine, after all, Sixteenth Nights is also there.]
Although Sixteenth Nights and Sixteenth Nights were always quarreling, Eight-cloud Ink knew that Sixteenth Nights was definitely someone she could rely on at critical moments.
[Erudite, strong, and always motivated. Well, if that annoying personality of his could be changed, he would definitely be a good friend.]
[— But if it really changed, it wouldn't be Sixteen Nights in Reverse, right?]
While looking at Ashina's figure, Eight-cloud Ink thought about Sixteenth Nights.
"Hey, Ink, let's go. If we stay in the same place, Black Rabbit may notice us."
Ashina, who ran over, grabbed Eight-cloud Ink's sleeve with both hands and smiled mischievously.
"Okay, let's go."
Pulling Aistel, the two continued to walk around the festival.
"Speaking of which, the atmosphere here is like Halloween."
Looking around, Ashina suddenly said.
"Halloween?"
"Yeah, but I don't see any jack-o '-lanterns."
"Well, after all, it's not a real Halloween, how can there be jack-o '-lanterns?"
"Sorry, if there's jack-o '-lanterns, I'm right here."
— — a magnetic voice resounded behind the three of them.
Turning around, they saw a … pumpkin monster?
It had a jack-o '-lantern-like head, a black cloak on its body, and its legs couldn't be seen. Its white-gloved hand held a small lantern that emitted a warm light.
"What kind of monster are you!?"
"… You're the monster, I'm Jack, Jack with the lantern."
The pumpkin monster … Ahem, Jack scratched his pumpkin head and said with some distress.
Ashina covered her mouth and chuckled. She felt that it was especially funny for a monster like Eight-cloud Ink to ask someone "what kind of monster are you" …
"Jack is Jack, not a monster! Beautiful big sister, sorry for my rudeness! "
Next to Jack, an amber-eyed girl with long silver hair tied into twin ponytails angrily stared at Eight-cloud Ink with her hands on her hips.
"… Sorry, I'm Ashina, he's Eight-cloud Ink, and this is Aistel. May I ask who you are?"
"My name is Ai Xia, Ai Xia from [Willowisp], and this is Jack."
The girl who called herself Ai Xia had pointy ears and wasn't human.
"Are you also here to participate in the fire dragon's birth ceremony?"
"We're here to participate in the competition," the girl raised her smooth chin and said confidently. "What about you?"
Holding Aistel's small hand, Eight-cloud Ink said, "Ah, we're just here to play with our family. What's the competition you're talking about?"
"Only those who possess the grace of creation can participate in the duel between the Creator Gods. The winner will be able to request any favor from the new ruler of the hierarchy, the Fire Dragon. Aixia, I'm already in the finals!"
"Little sister, you're amazing!" Ashina clapped and praised.
"Heh heh ~ ~"
"A gift from the Creation Element? The winner can ask the fire dragon for favors? "
Eight-cloud Ink muttered.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm thinking, if I win, can I ask for the restoration of the lost land of the community? This way, Black Rabbit and the others will be very happy, right?"
"… But I don't know if [Salamandra] can do it? After all, it's a trace left by the demon king. "
Listening to the discussion between Eight-cloud Ink and Ashina, Ai Xia suddenly said, "Hey hey? You want to participate? But you can't sign up anymore. The finals are tomorrow. "
"Is that so? What a pity. In the end, we still need to ask the Autumn sisters to use Jinkela? "
"Sister You Xiang might be able to do it too?" Ashina suddenly made a suggestion.
Eight-cloud Ink's expression froze. "Forget it. I don't want Sister You Xiang to take this opportunity to make some strange requests."
If he could ask the Autumn sisters and Fengjian You Xiang to do this, any normal person would choose the Autumn sisters, right?
If they asked You Xiang, they might get an answer like [Ah, as long as I make you into fertilizer, I can restore life to the land].
After saying goodbye to Ai Xia and Jack, Eight-cloud Ink, Ashina, and Aistel continued to shop.
"Mo! Look, look! "
Ashina suddenly grabbed Eight-cloud Ink's hand and pointed to the front.
There, on a booth, under a silver candlestick, there was a palm-sized creature that seemed to be an elf.
"So, so cute!!"
Ashina, whose eyes immediately lit up, immediately let go of Eight-cloud Ink's hand and ran over.
"Hey, hey! Ashina! "
