Legends of Runeterra

"Thank you very much for saving me, kind man. Ryan expresses his sincere gratitude to you!"

The blue Yodel who was untied from the ropes performed a very formal etiquette towards Li En. However, due to the Yodel's furry appearance, the old-fashioned etiquette was somewhat cute.

"And me, and me, I defeated those bad guys~!"

"Well, thank you and your Grimoire friend too!"

"Meow~!"

Hearing Ryan thanking her, Yumi wagged her tail happily.

"You're welcome Ryan. I've also been helped by a Yodel friend before, and I'm glad to be able to help you."

"You know the Yordle!"

Upon hearing this, Yumi immediately came in front of Li En and sniffed gently with her little pink nose.

"Hmm... it does smell like a Yordle...

Where is it, where is it..."

Yuumi sat on the magic book, her body moved by the nose.

"Hey! Found it!"

The kitten stretched out its paw and pressed the magic pocket hanging around Li En's waist.

Li En took off the magic pocket and Yumi held it with her two little paws.

"What an amazing sense of smell. Here, see if you can guess who gave it to me."

"Hehe~! I am the most magical cat~!

Let me smell it, this is..."

Yuumi moved closer to the magic pocket and twitched her nose slightly. The scent of Yodel magic was captured by her nose, and she compared it one by one with the Yodels she had seen in her memory.

"Lulu's magic!?"

"Hmm? You actually guessed it!?"

"Haha~! Lulu is a good friend of my master Nora. In the past, my master often took me to her house to play. My favorite thing was to play the game of 'catching butterflies' with the little fairy..."

After receiving Li En's approval, Yumi puffed out her chest excitedly and proudly, as proud as a little lion.

But when it finished speaking, the thought of its missing owner came to its mind, and the cat's mood unconsciously dropped. The two pointed cat ears that had originally stood upright now drooped down listlessly.

Noticing Yumi's disappointment, Li En subconsciously raised his hand and scratched the kitten's chin, then gently stroked its back.

“Hulu~Hulu~!”

"Meow~! Human, you have a great technique. Can you scratch my chin again?"

"Of course, thank you for your recognition. Also, my name is Li En."

"Okay Li En, I'll remember your name~!

You are the one with the best skills besides my master~!"

The drooping cat ears quietly stood up, and under Li En's gentle caress, Yumi's tail swayed gently and comfortably.

Seeing that Yumi's mood had recovered, Li En took the opportunity to ask questions.

"You seem to miss your master, why don't you go meet her?"

"Well..."

Faced with Li En's question, Yumi hesitated for a moment.

It’s not that he felt the other party was untrustworthy, but Yumi was a little embarrassed to bring it up. He always felt that he was the one who lost his owner Nora.

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

The magic book flipped quickly, as if urging something.

"Alright, alright, I know the Grimoire, I'll tell you what I say!"

Yumi looked at Li En, then at Ryan, and slowly began to tell the story under their curious gazes.

...

"The Door Grimoire is indeed a powerful magic item.

So, your master Nora was afraid that the danger behind the portal would harm you and Bandle City, so she tore off the pages of the magic book and took them away."

"Yes, that's right. This time when I went to Bilgewater, I also followed Nora's magical aura to find her."

"Well, speaking of that, Ryan, have you seen Nora in Bilgewater?"

“Yes, yes, Ryan, have you seen my master?

She is the best Yodel~!"

"Hmm... well..."

Facing Yumi's expectant gaze, Ryan tried hard to recall for a while, then showed an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry Yumi, although I often go to Bilgewater to buy some sea monster materials, but I have never met the Nora you mentioned..."

"Is this so..."

Yumi lowered its head somewhat disappointedly, but within a few breaths, it recovered.

"Thank you Ryan, but I still need to go to Bilgewater to take a look!"

Yuumi, who travels through portals with the Grimoire in search of her master Nora, may look like just a kitten, but she has the courage of a lion.

"Well, I sincerely hope you can find your master Nora!"

"Hehe, of course, I'm the most amazing cat~!"

While Yumi was communicating with Ryan, Li En's eyes suddenly looked towards the bottom of the water.

The scales of the sac throat fish were pierced by the red lightning. Because Li En controlled the force, the scarlet blood now flowed out from the charred wound into the surrounding waters.

"Wow~!"

There was an unusual wave on the sea surface, and the originally blue water now took on a strange black color, as if some huge monster was swimming under the water.

"Yuumi, Ryan, be careful."

"What, what, what happened, Li En!?"

"Whoa~ whoa~!"

The magic book flipped quickly.

"Meow~! My hunter instinct is kicking in~!"

Compared to the nervousness and fear of the Yodel Ryan, Yuumi instead showed his little paws and stared at the undulating sea surface excitedly.

"Fish, fish, fish! Come out quickly!"

“Gurgle~Gurgle~Gurgle~!”

As if Yumi's call was heard, bubbles appeared from beneath the dark sea surface.

"Bang~!"

The sea surface exploded, and a huge mouth that could easily swallow a sac throat fish tore the ship in half, swallowing the sac throat fish's body as well.

“Help~~!”

"Wow! This isn't a fish!!!"

Yumi stepped on the magic book and drilled into Li En's body.

Feeling some kind of magic, Li En let it work, and the cat and the book suddenly entered a special state, becoming virtual and hanging on Li En's body. At the same time, an inexplicable force surged into Li En's body.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The ship, its keel broken, slowly sank into the sea with a cracking sound.

As for the group of Higashigang sailors, Li En and Yumi didn't care about them. They were able to make the decision to use Yodel to lure deep-sea monsters. How could these people be good people? Feeding the fish would be their best fate.

“Crackle~Crackle~!”

The huge monster's body was raised high, and the falling sea water was like a rainstorm.

Under the clear sky, a large shadow covered Li En and others.

"This... this... this is... the soul-eating sea worm!!!"

Looking at the ferocious sea snake in front of him that looked like a super-sized version, poor Ryan let out a scream that sounded almost like a woman.

"Meow~! What a disgusting guy~!"

Yumi's hair puffed up slightly, and it circled around Li En, and golden magic power lingered around Li En.

"You have been strengthened, Li En. It's you and me. Let's defeat this annoying sea monster in one go!"
