At the end of the world, near the Tori Tunis Waterfall.
Eight-cloud Ink stood on top of a tree, allowing the water vapor to wet his hair and clothes. His eyes carefully scanned the surroundings.
Opposite him, below the waterfall, Bai Xueji was standing there charmingly.
In the forest on the shore, Black Rabbit's ears twitched. His eyes moved back and forth between Eight-cloud Ink and Bai Xueji.
[Gift Game: Flower on the Lake]
[Contestant Overview: "No Name" Eight-cloud Ink]
[Host: "Master of the Tori Tunis Waterfall" Bai Xueji]
[Pass Condition: Obtain a Narcissus Egg Flower and make it bloom on the water surface]
[Defeat Condition: Before noon, the contestant is unable to meet the conditions for victory, the contestant is unable to meet the conditions for victory]
[Stage Addition: 1. As an iron rule, contestants are not allowed to go beyond a kilometer radius of the Tori Tunis Waterfall. 2. As an iron rule, the host must ensure that there is a Narcissus Egg Flower in the game]
[Oath! Respecting the above, based on the honor, flag, and authority of the host, this Gift Game]
This was Bai Xueji's request to Eight-cloud Ink.
As long as Eight-cloud Ink won this Gift Game, Bai Xueji would become Eight-cloud Ink's servant.
"Hm?"
Eight-cloud Ink raised his hand and grabbed at the riverside.
Under the cracked soil, a small flaxen flower bud flew into Eight-cloud Ink's hand.
"Black Rabbit. Are you sure this is a Narcissus Egg Flower? "
“YES！ This is a Narcissus Egg Flower. There is no mistake! "
Black Rabbit raised his index finger and cutely replied.
"Then, the next problem is to make it bloom … But there is no clue …"
"Master Yakumo, although the referee, Black Rabbit, is your companion, I can't tell you the details. I'll have to rely on Master Yakumo's wisdom!"
Eight-cloud Ink frowned in distress.
Let the flowers bloom. Theoretically speaking, all flowers have a fixed flowering season.
If the season is not right, it is not impossible to make the flowers bloom. Humans in the outside world can even grow vegetables that are out of season. However, it is still a troublesome matter.
"Then, as long as we accelerate time and simulate different seasons and environments, we might be able to do it?"
Eight-cloud Ink murmured.
She jumped down from the treetop and planted the flower bud on the ground, then —
His raised arms emitted waves of demonic power that disturbed the air.
Under the influence of the demonic power, a small space with the flower bud as the center began to change.
At the side, Bai Xueji, who was under the waterfall, suddenly widened her eyes.
"Although it's only a small area of time control and seasonal distortion, to be able to do this … As expected of Yaguma-sama, who even Lord White Yaksha praises."
Bai Xueji's dissatisfaction with Eight-cloud Ink completely disappeared. However —
"This method won't work, Lord Yakumo …"
Amber-Colored snake-like vertical pupils revealed a look of anticipation.
Under the disturbance of the demonic energy of Eight-cloud Ink, the environment around the flower bud constantly changed during the four seasons, and time accelerated.
However, the flower bud did not bloom. Instead, it died.
"Ah! Yaguma-sama's method seems to be wrong. " Black Rabbit frowned in distress. He knew the way to victory, but because of the identity of the referee, he could not reveal it. This feeling made Black Rabbit feel conflicted.
"The opening condition is not a specific season and time, but something else?"
Looking at the dead flower bud on the ground, Eight-cloud Ink shook her head.
"Bang!!"
She reached out her hand. The power of her realm, combined with the special power of the flower demon that she had obtained from Delicate Fragrance, made the dead flower bud come back to life.
Raising her head, Eight-cloud Ink looked around.
Today's sun was very strong. Although the flow of the river was very fast, the nearby daffodil's egg flowers had formed a slow-flowing swamp.
"Ahhhhh! I want to bask in the sun, I want to make black tea, I want to sleep in! "
Because there was no result, Eight-cloud Ink was somewhat conflicted and pulled her long hair with both hands.
"Flower on the lake … Flower on the lake … Hmm? On the lake? "
There was no lake under the Toli Tunis Waterfall, only a river.
Ordinary people would not pay special attention to the difference between a lake and a river, but —
It could be confirmed that the daffodil's egg flowers were plants that grew in clusters by the river, but the game name was [Flower on the Lake].
"Yaguma-sama, although Black Rabbit can't tell you the method directly as the referee, I can tell you that the rules of this game are absolutely fair. It is absolutely possible to make the daffodil's egg flowers bloom before noon! Good luck, Yaguma-sama! "
Not far away, Black Rabbit kept cheering for Eight-cloud Ink.
Eight-cloud Ink continued to think —
The rules said that it had to bloom on the surface of the water, but the discovery point of the flower bud was in the water.
[In other words, the opening condition is due to the change of location?]
There is no lake by the river.
The flower bud is not in the water, but on the surface of the water.
"So that's how it is. The opening condition is not a specific time and season, but the location. In other words, the change of environment? The daffodil's egg flowers were originally flowers that bloomed by the river, but because of the increase in water volume such as heavy rain, the depth of the water changed, and the flower buds in the water were washed into deep ditches. In order to protect the seed, the flower buds will bloom on the surface of the water … "
"Correct!"
Bai Xueji appeared beside Eight-cloud Ink without anyone noticing, and looked at her with a smile.
"As expected of Yaguma-sama, your brain is really good. But there is no lake here. What should Yaguma-sama do? "
Eight-cloud Ink laughed, "There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with one punch. If there is, then two punches!"
"Could, could it be —!?"
"Boom —!!!!"
Under Bai Xueji's surprised gaze, Eight-cloud Ink threw the daffodil's egg flower into the air, and then punched the river bank in front of her.
The cannonball condensed from demonic power smashed into the ground, and the strong shock wave produced cracks on the river bank. The cracks cleverly formed a straight line with the scale of an explosion.
Sand and gravel spewed out from the cracks, and continued to advance through the forest.
The river water began to flow into the cracks that suddenly appeared in the river bank.
"Look, isn't there a lake?"
⑧
"So, welcome Bai Xueji to officially join us!!!"
— That night, [NONAME] held a small banquet.
In addition to celebrating Bai Xueji's joining, it was also to celebrate the community becoming the ruler of the region.
After setting up many dishes that were not usually available, everyone toasted with the seniors.
"Yaguma-sama! Don't drink black tea! Let's have a toast! "
"Woo woo woo!! Sixteenth Night, you just want to laugh at me, right? "
"Ahaha! Was I discovered? "
"You should reflect on yourself!"
"No, I'm not reflecting on myself at all!"
…
In front of the grill, Black Rabbit was cooking the fish caught from the river with Leticia, Bai Xueji, and Pest, who were dressed in maid outfits.
At this moment, Ren suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Right, the [Dragon Horned Griffin Lion] alliance in the south sent an invitation to the harvest festival. Because the alliance is hosting it, they opened a lot of gift games to give harvests. If we can get some harvest, the abandoned land in the farm can be completely restored!"
"Oh, really? In that case, should we cultivate a special area? "Ashina suddenly asked.
Flying Bird came over, "Plant what?"
Ashina tapped her lips and thought, "Some plants with spirituality? We can make money that way. "
“Mandragora？”
“Mandrake？”
"Man • Eater?"
“Yes！ That's a good idea! "Black Rabbit clapped his hands," But isn't the last one weird? Dangerous things like man-eating flowers can't be left to the children to take care of! Also, the first two super dangerous ones can't be taken care of. "
"… Then, Rabbit • Eater?" Eight-cloud Ink shook the teacup in his hand and laughed.
"Why is it a Rabbit Grass!!! How can there be such a strange and dangerous unknown creature!! "
He waved his paper fan.
Then, Black Rabbit opened the invitation and explained in detail:
"The invitation this time starts with the Eve Festival. But the travel and accommodation expenses will be covered by the organizer. This is an unimaginable VIP treatment for [No Name]! The venue is also one of the few beautiful places in the south, Underwood Waterfall! It's a stage with moving trees and rivers that don't lose to the Wall of Realms! I'm sure everyone will have a good time! But there's still a problem … "
"Problem?"
"Yes. The Harvest Festival this time is scheduled to be held in 20 days. The Eve Festival will be held on the 25th. Although I want to participate in a game of this scale, the main force of the community can't go out for a long time. So I want someone to stay here with Leticia … "
"Ah ah, that doesn't matter."
Eight-cloud Ink waved his hand and took out a card.
"What's this?" Sixteenth Night immediately came up and snatched it.
"New Year's money?"
"Blessing card?"
"Card?"
"It's a charm card!!!"
Eight-cloud Ink snatched the charm card back and threw it to Leticia.
"If there's any danger, just activate this charm card. Not only can it resist the attack temporarily, I can also receive the news and bring everyone back at any time."
Ren immediately let out a sigh of relief. He didn't want someone to stay behind and not participate in such a good celebration.
"If that's the case, then everyone should prepare to have fun together!"
