"Okay, it's here."
Tong Nai let out a sigh of relief, put down the oar, and smiled at Black Rabbit.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome. You've helped a lot."
This was the entrance of the underground library.
After learning from the [Dragon Horn Griffin Lion] alliance that Eight-cloud Ink and Sixteen Nights had arrived and were in the library, Black Rabbit, who was the fastest, volunteered to call the two back.
He happened to meet another tree spirit girl who came to change shifts with Tong Nai, so Tong Nai temporarily acted as a navigator and brought Black Rabbit here.
"Then, I'll go in first."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Pushing open the door of the library, Black Rabbit patrolled the shadows of the ancient bookshelves and came to the center of the library.
Turning around a few bookshelves, under the dim light, Black Rabbit found Sixteen Nights and Eight-cloud Ink.
"… Master Yakumo? Mr. Sixteen Nights? "
"Hmm? Ah! It's Black Rabbit. "
Because he was immersed in reading, he didn't notice that Eight-cloud Ink's voice was slightly surprised.
But Black Rabbit's surprise was even more obvious.
"What, what's going on? Master Yakumo and Mr. Sixteen Nights, that, that glasses? "
"That? Sixteen Nights bought it from Jack. It's very dark here. These glasses have the ability to adjust the refractive index of light and have the ability to see in the dark. "
Eight-cloud Ink said and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Although he didn't need this with his monster vision, he took one from Sixteen Nights out of curiosity.
The slender glasses added a more intellectual atmosphere to Eight-cloud Ink and Sixteen Nights.
Let's not talk about the knowledgeable Sixteenth Night. If Yakumo were to put on her glasses …
Black Rabbit's face strangely turned red.
"Oh? Black Rabbit, are you thinking of something bad? "
Sixteen Nights put down the book in his hand, and Black Rabbit waved his hands in panic.
"No, no! Mr. Sixteen Nights, don't talk nonsense. "
"Really? Black Rabbit? "
"… Wait! What do you mean by that!? "
"Black Rabbit?"
"Who is Black Rabbit!!"
"Then, Boxing aristocrats (lewd) —"
Paper fan hit!
He rubbed the Eight-cloud Ink on his head and rolled his eyes at Black Rabbit. "Why do you want to hit me too?"
"That, that! I'm sorry! Because I'm used to it, so … "
Used to it?!
"Hahahaha …" Sixteen Nights laughed while holding his stomach.
"Tsk! Forget it, Black Rabbit, did you come here specially to find us? "
"Yes! Lord Yakumo! "
Speaking up to this point, Black Rabbit immediately put on a serious expression and explained his intentions.
Eight-cloud Ink and Sixteen Nights looked at each other.
"You mean …"
"… You found the enemy from last time?"
"Yes, I'm here to look for Yagumi-sama and Yagumi-sama. I've also notified Yagumi-sama and Yagumi-sama who are participating in the Gift Competition. The two of you should hurry back with me! "
"… Well, there's nothing much to see anyway. Let's go."

When Eight-cloud Ink and Sixteen Nights followed Black Rabbit to [Six Wounds]'s temporary medical center, the busy Sarah had already left.
Yao and Flying Bird hadn't rushed back yet, and Ren was still discussing the alliance with other communities. Only Ashina and [Six Wounds]'s Carlos Gendegaard stayed to take care of Caili Ling. She was the cat-person waitress who used to work at the outdoor cafe outside 2105380 in the East District.
"Mo, you're back …"
"Yes."
Seeing Eight-cloud Ink return, Ashina immediately went up to greet her.
"Then, um … Greetings, Yagumi-sama, and Yagumi-sama Sixteen Nights …"
It seemed that meeting Eight-cloud Ink in this situation was a little awkward. Carlos was no longer as calm as he was when he worked at the cafe, and his face was flushed.
"Hmm? Aren't you that waitress? "Sixteen Nights raised an eyebrow and then noticed the symbol on her neck." Eh? You're the child of [Six Wounds]'s leader? "
"Yes, I'm my father's twenty-fourth daughter …"
Twenty-fourth?
Eight-cloud Ink was speechless. Was she really a cat? She gave birth by the dozen …
"You're here to help too?" Sixteen Nights seemed to ask casually, and Carlos immediately answered in a panic, "Y-yes! Because it's been very busy here, my father called me back because I was in charge of spy work in the East District … Ahhh!!! "
Carlos, who realized that he had spilled the beans, immediately covered his mouth and looked at everyone with tears in his eyes.
Spy work?
So this child opened the outdoor cafe in the East District to collect intelligence?
"Uh-huh …"
Sixteen Nights laughed with her arms crossed.
"So you're a spy. Do you want me to expel [Six Wounds]'s outpost outside 2105380 as the regional ruler?"
"S-sorry!!!!"
"Is it over with just an apology?"
Carlos immediately said with a sobbing tone, "Then … can you give us a 20% discount?"
"40%!"
"If that's the case, I can only barely break even … Ah!!"
Carlos, who had unintentionally revealed his capital, immediately burst into tears.
He rubbed his forehead and looked at Sixteen Nights bullying Eight-cloud Ink. Finally, he said, "Alright, Sixteen Nights, don't give him a hard time."
"Hey hey, I'm also fighting for our legal interests, okay?"
"Yep, so I didn't object to your 40% discount."
"Yagumi-sama!!" Carlos, who thought that Eight-cloud Ink was going to speak for him, immediately turned gray.
In the end, under Carlos's sad expression, [No Name] and Carlos reached an agreement to give him a 40% discount.
"… So, how's the child?"
After Carlos's matter was settled, Eight-cloud Ink looked at Caili Ling, who was still unconscious on the bed.
Ashina shook her head, "She hasn't woken up yet. I heard that she'll need a few days. She's seriously injured."
Walking to the bedside, Eight-cloud Ink gently placed his hand on Caili Ling's forehead, and closed his eyes slightly.
Then, he retracted his right hand, "What a serious injury. The oldest injury is at least half a month old … Could it be that they were attacked after the Dragon War?"
"Who could it be?" Sixteen Nights scratched his head, "There are too few clues, and we can't make an effective analysis."
With a sigh, Eight-cloud Ink said, "It seems that we can only wait until she wakes up."
⑧
Although the incident with Caili Ling happened, [No Name] was still happily enjoying the harvest festival.
Although they had originally planned to win the gift competition in the harvest festival and obtain the gift that could restore life to the land of the community, [Dragon Horn Griffin Lion] had already achieved their goal. After the Dragon War, [Dragon Horn Griffin Lion] had given these gifts to [No Name] as a reward along with the gallstone, cough cough, I mean Balor's Death Eye. However, this didn't stop them from participating in the competition.
Then, on the day that the harvest festival officially began, Caili Ling finally woke up.
And her first request after waking up was to see Eight-cloud Ink.
