[Underwood] underground city, in a lively temporary market.
Ashina held Aistel's little hand and walked on the crowded street.
She held an ice cream cone like Aistel's in her hand. The two ate as they walked, enjoying the joy of the Harvest Festival.
"I can't believe it. This place was attacked by the Demon King not long ago, and now it has recovered."
“Yes！ It's thanks to everyone's efforts that we can reach this step! "
Black Rabbit skipped in front and turned around when she heard the words. She smiled sweetly with her hands behind her back. The pair of ears on the top of her head swung back and forth, looking very happy.
"Black Rabbit, you also put in a lot of effort!"
"It's all small things! Lily and the others worked hard! They are still busy preparing for the opening ceremony ~! "
The children, especially the children in the older group, were very happy to be able to come here with the adults to participate in the Harvest Festival. Therefore, even if they were called to help, they were extremely happy and diligent. This made the members of [Six Wounds] like these children from [No Name].
"By the way, Black Rabbit, why do you think White Yaksha called Ink over?"
"I don't know …"
Black Rabbit blinked and said while observing the various stalls around.
"… I heard that the Eastern District was also attacked when the Demon King attacked last time. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Lord White Yaksha after that. I don't know how she is."
"She should be fine. After all, she is the ruler of the hierarchy. Really, why isn't there? I have been looking for so long."
"Eh?"
Black Rabbit turned to look at Ashina.
"What is there?"
"A barbecued rabbit shop!"
Black Rabbit's face turned green on the spot, "Please, please, please don't say such terrible things, Lord Ashina!!!"
Just as Black Rabbit and Ashina were playing around, there was a sudden commotion in front.
"Hmm?"
The ears on Black Rabbit's head moved. She and Ashina looked at each other, and the two took Aistel to the scene of the commotion.
"Make way, please make way!"
After squeezing through the crowd, Black Rabbit and Ashina found a young girl covered in wounds lying on the ground.
"… She is!?"
The black rabbit suddenly widened its eyes.
She had seen this girl before. During the attack on the underground city of [Underwood], she was one of the enemies who attacked the giants.
Her sleeveless black dress was torn all over, and the short jacket tied around her waist was stained with blood. Her originally beautiful black hair was also dirty and messy.
After seeing Black Rabbit and Ashina, the girl who was already somewhat unconscious raised her head with difficulty and wanted to say something, but in the end, she collapsed to the ground and completely fainted.
Ashina frowned and immediately went forward to check on the girl's injuries.
"… It's so serious. How did she make it here?"
"M-Madam Ashina, is she an enemy?"
"But with such serious injuries, won't he die if he doesn't do anything?"
The kind Ashina shook her head. In fact, the black rabbit couldn't bear to see the girl's injury.
With Ashina's help, the black rabbit picked up the girl.
"Please wait —"
A member of [Six Wounds] came forward to stop the two.
"Esteemed aristocrats of the Box Court, and friends from [No Name], this person is our enemy!"
"The Bestowal Game is over."
Ashina stood in front of the male cat with a serious expression.
"This child came over even with such serious injuries, obviously she's not hostile towards us. Perhaps she has some important news to tell us?"
"This …"
The cat was hesitant.
"What's going on? What's going on? "
A lively voice rang out.
Ai Xia jumped up high and flew over everyone's heads to land in front of Ashina.
"Eh? It's you? "
"Miss Ai Xia? Where's Lord Jack? "Black Rabbit was very happy to see Ai Xia.
"He's busy supervising the people below to make the goods to be sold at the harvest festival. Speaking of which, the girl you're holding … eh? Isn't that the one we fought last time? "
Ai Xia, who saw the girl in the black rabbit's arms, shook her dazzling twin ponytails in surprise.
"That's right. Anyway, let's go get treatment first and inform Madam Sarah while we're at it!"
The member of [Six Wounds] gritted his teeth and finally nodded. "Okay, I'll inform Lord Speaker. I'll leave this guy to you."
"Don't worry!"
⑧
Gently putting down the report in her hand, Sarah frowned.
"The new ruler of the East Borough … Eight-cloud Ink?"
Just now, she received news from the East Borough. The original ruler of the East Borough, White Yaksha, resigned and the candidate to replace him was Eight-cloud Ink from [No Name].
Regarding Eight-cloud Ink, due to the Dragon War incident, Sarah had a good impression and trust of him.
"If it's him, maybe we can strengthen cooperation with the East Borough in the future …"
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
After the door was opened, a member of the Alliance quickly walked into the office.
"Lord Speaker, this is the news that just came from below."
"What is it?"
"In the temporary market, we found an enemy member from last time …"
"What? Are they planning to launch an attack?! "
"It's not like that …"
After hearing the details of the situation, Sarah's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Where is that person now?"
"She has been taken to the [Six Wounds] medical point by [No Name]."
"I see, I'll go over now."
⑧
[Six Wounds] temporary medical point.
After seeing a fox girl bandaging the wounds on Cai Liling's body, Ashina asked, "How is she?"
"The wounds on her body have been treated, but it will probably take a few days for her to wake up."
The fox girl said as she packed up the remaining bandages.
Ashina looked at Cai Liling, who was wrapped up like a mummy on the hospital bed, and pursed her lips tightly. "What's going on? I've heard about the battle between this child and you. She shouldn't be weak. What about the others with her? "
"There's no news. We've carefully searched the vicinity of the venue and didn't find any other suspicious people."
The one who answered Ashina was the Griffin, Gory, who had rushed over to inquire.
At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor, and then Sarah walked in with her entourage.
"What's going on?"
Gory immediately went forward and explained the cause and effect of the matter.
After listening, Sarah stared at the unconscious Cai Liling on the bed.
"Lord Sarah, do you have any news?" Black Rabbit asked.
"No … I don't know anything now."
Sarah shook her head in distress.
"The worst-case scenario is that we might face an attack more dangerous than the last time …"
The atmosphere in the room instantly became extremely oppressive.
