Legends of Runeterra

"Eh? It's you, Karma. Good afternoon. Hehehehe~!"

Facing Karma's gaze, Ahri laughed dryly a few times, and the two fox ears on her head twitched unconsciously a few times.

"By the way, Karma, aren't you busy today? I remember you're usually dealing with various documents at this time."

"Busy, of course we are busy. Marshal Swain was driven back to his country by us, but now Noxus has changed its strategy and is constantly harassing and destroying in the form of small elite troops.

Not to mention that behind the scenes, influenced by the invasion of Noxus, traitors also appeared in Ionia, colluding with them from within and without. "

"Huh? There are still people working for Noxians!?"

Facing Ahri's surprised look, Karma shook her head.

"It's not so much 'service' as 'cooperation'.

The flames of war not only destroyed the harmony of the New Land, but also ignited the ambitions in the hearts of those guys.

Although no one openly raises the banner, they all secretly provide intelligence to the Noxians..."

"Wow! I...I don't understand..."

Listening to Karma's story, Ahri felt her head getting hot and a little dizzy.

"Sorry, I said too much in a short time."

“It’s okay, Karma, if you’re in a bad mood, just talk to me more.

I will listen to you carefully, even though I may not understand you, hehe~!"

"Haha~! Thank you, Ali."

"Hehe~! You're welcome, you're welcome!"

Ahri put her hands on her hips, looking like she was so awesome.

"But then again, Ahri, you're playing pranks again. Including what I saw today, this is the third time this month."

"Ah...I...that..."

The two fox ears drooped, and Ali lowered his head in shame.

"After Sett and Lee Sin went to Shojin Temple, Nalin and Xia also went to Kueilin Island some time ago. Irelia either followed her father to handle government affairs or practiced martial arts.

And Karma, I know everyone doesn’t have time, but I’m really bored...”

"Ah~! Okay, there won't be a next time, or I will deduct some of your soul essence."

Seeing that Karma had forgiven her, Ahri, who had lowered her head, curled her little mouth and her two fox ears stood up again.

"Yeah, I'll remember that! If nothing else, I'll leave first~!"

"and many more!"

"Uh...Karma you..."

"Here, this is a letter from Li En."

Karma handed over an envelope. It was the same color as Ahri's tail hair, and there was a fox paw print specially engraved on the front of the envelope. Ahri was very familiar with it.

"Shua~!"

The envelope instantly fell into Ahri's hands. After inputting a little magic power, the seal on the envelope dissipated after sensing the correct magic power.

"Ah! It's really Li En's letter!

But...isn't it usually sent at the end of the month?"

"I don't know the details, Ahri, you can figure it out yourself, I'm leaving now."

"Ok, bye!"

Looking at Ahri who ran into the yard immediately after saying goodbye to her without even looking up, Karma smiled, then turned around and disappeared into the courtyard.

...

Bilgewater.

The news that the "Soul-Eating Night" was repelled by the Lord of Big Port, the Queen of the Sea, Sarah, has spread throughout the city through the sailors chatting in the tavern.

Among them, the chosen one of the Snake Mother Goddess, the sea beast Baron Nash, the "berserker" Olaf from Lockefer...all these characters were also praised by the sailors.

And due to Li En's suggestion, his background was not widely publicized.

The people of Bilgewater only know that above the 'True One' Illaoi, there is a chosen one who is even more cherished by the Snake Mother, and this Snake Mother Goddess values ​​the current Lord of Bilgewater, Sarah, very much.

"I'm leaving dear."

"My dear, now that we have defeated the Haunting, it is time for you to completely conquer Bilgewater!

Also, please pay more attention to the compensation. If possible, what do you think of building a memorial lighthouse at the entrance of the port?"

"A lighthouse? That's a good idea indeed. I'll prepare it!"

Standing on tiptoe and giving Li En a light kiss on the cheek, Sarah, wearing a silver skirt and armor, strode away, and suddenly stopped at the door.

"Wait for me to come back in the evening, dear~!"

With a charming wink and a blowing kiss, Sarah disappeared out the door.

Seeing Sarah so positive and ambitious, Li En smiled.

"Hmm? You're finally here! "

Li En sensed a familiar aura and his expression changed. He activated [Dimensional Walking] and headed for the dock.

As for Gwen, in the two days after the end of the "Night of the Harrowing", since she discovered that Senna could control the black fog, in order to better hide her tracks after landing on the island, she spent most of her time studying the characteristics of the black fog with Senna.

...

"Wow~!"

The sea breeze blew towards him, which should have been a refreshing breeze, but with Ahri's powerful spiritual perception, he felt like he had entered the realm of an extremely terrifying existence.

"Woo~!"

The tail covered by the moon-white robe trembled a few times involuntarily. Even without lifting the robe, Ahri knew that the tail hair under the robe had already stood up.

"A-choo, A-choo~!"

The strong fishy smell in the wind made Ali, who had a very sensitive sense of smell, sneeze a few times.

Although she has not yet landed in Bilgewater, Ahri cannot like this port city both physically and mentally.

However, thinking that she would soon see Li En, whom she had been thinking about day and night, Ali immediately put all these unpleasant things behind her.

Nine fox tails swayed slightly inside the robe, making the robe sway as if it was blown by the sea breeze.

“Splash! Plop!”

The heavy anchor fell into the water. Before the sailors on the boat, who were actually guards, could speak, Ahri ran down with a whoosh.

Although Li En used magic to slightly conceal his figure, this little trick could not stop Ahri.

"Lee En~!"

"Bang~!"

A few meters away, Ahri jumped lightly and fell into Li En's arms.

"Li En, Li En, Li En~!"

His limbs were tightly wrapped around Li En, and his little head kept nodding in Li En's arms.

While calling out Li En's name, Ahri felt the even more pleasant scent.

"Long time no see, Ahri."

Li En deployed a barrier to shield the mortals around him, while holding Ahri's arms tightly.

After arching for a while, and after slightly alleviating the longing, Ahri raised her head and stared straight at Li En's increasingly perfect appearance.

"Li En, I miss you so much~!"

"Ahri, I missed you too!"

...

"Om~!"

A space crack opened in the weapons workshop in Sarah's Manor. Gwen and Senna, who were studying the black mist, and Lucian, who was maintaining his weapons, all looked up.

"Li En, you're here~!"

"Eh? Such a strange smell, this girl seems... not human!?"

Seeing the white fox in Li En's arms speak, the three of them were stunned.
