God's Garden

In the evening, the sun set in the sky, and the slightly darker sky added a bit of treachery to the forest.

If it was the usual Kita Mimon, he would definitely hide beside Fujikawa and walk tremblingly. Unfortunately, the current him...is still immersed in his own world.Fujikawa tried to say a few words to him, but Bei Yumen's dazed mind was too serious, Fujikawa knew that he had this habit for a long time, he had no choice but to help him pay attention to the surrounding situation besides smiling helplessly .

There should be no dangerous monsters in the Wangyou Forest, and it is more warm than the Banyao Forest. Even so, Fujikawa couldn't relax his vigilance. After all, he encountered many situations that shouldn't be done when he was in Alantis.

What's more, he must always make sure that they are heading north.

However, whenever he was very nervous, Bei Yumen would have some innocuous accidents that made him laugh and cry and let go of his guard.

For example now—Fujikawa raised his eyebrows, looking helplessly at Kita Mimon lying on the ground.

Yes, he fell, and he threw himself forward in a very magnificent way.Strange, there are no branches or anything on the ground here, how can I go to fall?

Fujikawa smiled, and stretched out his hand to him, "Are you all right? Why did you fall?"

"..."

After being stunned for half a second, Kita Mimon, who propped up his body, patted the handle and the dirt on his clothes, and then held Fujikawa's hand and stood up.

"...I accidentally tripped over my foot."

He muttered in a low voice, when he realized that he fell on his face so funny, Bei Yumen had the urge to just lie down and get up.But thanks to this fall, he was thrown back from his thoughts.

He was indeed thinking about Amanda just now, and at the same time, he was also thinking about why he felt that when Fujikawa helped him put the book, there was a feeling he had once had... After all, he interacted with people many times when he was in Japan Too few, there is no chance for people to help him put the books.

If there is one, there is only one time in high school...

"Why are you in a daze?"

Fujikawa grabbed Bei Yumen's hand, seeing that his clean and tender face was still muddy, he took out a handkerchief from his bag, dipped it in some water and wiped it for him.Fujikawa's movements were very light, and the focused face was gentle enough to make people lose their minds.

Bei Yumen was called back to his attention by his actions, and while standing obediently for him to wipe, he looked at the slightly closed eyes.The grayish blue eyes were extremely dazzling during the day, but now they are as deep and beautiful as the ocean.

Fujikawa once described to Kita Mimon his parents, a couple with ordinary looks and a very happy relationship, because he has hardly lived with his parents, so his feelings for them are not as deep as his grandfather. His looks are almost inherited from his grandfather. For some reason, Fujikawa always has a strange feeling when he gets along with his parents.

But this is a feeling that Kita Mimon, who has lived alone since he was sensible, can't understand.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing him staring at him blankly, Fujikawa simply smiled.

"..." Looking at his smile for a moment, Bei Yumen shook his head, and turned his head away, "It's nothing, I just think your eyes are very beautiful."

"yes?"

Seeing that his ears were a little red, Fujikawa didn't bother him too much, put away his handkerchief and said leisurely, "Kita Yumen is also very cute."

"..."

Hearing what he said, Kita Mimon suddenly turned his head, and stared at Fujikawa reluctantly with a flattened face and mouth.

Just don't say he's cute!

Although he really wanted to complain, but when Fujikawa's smile came into view again, Kita Mimon's full stomach instantly became a breath and spit it out.

really...

No matter, let's do serious business first.

When Bei Yumen finally realized what he had to prioritize, he stood in place and looked around.They walked along the river from the beginning, but they always kept the same direction, and did not change direction because of the rough river.

"Should we still head north?"

"..." Fujikawa didn't dare to give an answer when he heard him ask this question, "Did you turn around when you just fell down?"

Kita Mimon thought for a while, and when he fell, he was helped up, as if he was facing directly forward, because Fujikawa went around to wipe his face for him...

Shaking his head, Bei Yumen finally said, "No."

"Then you should still be facing north." Fujikawa spread his hands, "I'm sure you didn't change your direction when you walked ahead."

"how do you know?"

"Because I'm paying attention to you." Fujikawa said it as a matter of course.

"..." Bei Yumen blushed when he heard this.

Stop teasing him, Fujikawa smiled, "Just keep going in one direction, otherwise it will be bad."

Shaking off the embarrassment, Kita Mimon asked with some doubts, "It's not good?"

"Well, it's not good." Fujikawa said leisurely, telling him to turn his head, "Look behind you."

Kita Mimon raised his hand in advance to remember the original position, and then he watched Fujikawa throw a branch in front of him.

"Look, the branch is here." After finishing speaking, he turned Bei Yumen's head back to the front, "Come on, wait a while."

"..."

Bei Yumen cooperated with him in a daze, and after a few seconds with their backs facing the tree roots, Fujikawa turned his head.

It's just that when he turned around, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and he kept looking around.

"Huh? This..."

He looked at Fujikawa in surprise, and Fujikawa nodded.

"This forest seems to be alive, right?"

That's right, there should have been the branch thrown by Fujikawa on the floor, but when Kita Mimon turned his head away, not only was there no branch on the ground, even the scenery was quite different.The location of the river and the arrangement of the trees, none of them are the same, as if I have walked to a completely different place.

The scenery that changes when people aren't paying attention...it's so sinister, this forest...

Although it is not the same as the horror of the half-demon forest, if you really get lost here, the despair you will suffer is no less difficult than when you see the blood-sucking Roman writhing in the half-demon forest.

"If you don't pay attention, you will lose your way."

Fujikawa straightened his body in the direction Kitamimon raised his hand.

"So it's a good thing that you were in a daze just now, at least the road you're walking is straight."

"..."

"Although the way she fell is a bit... stupid, no, cute."

"..."

Did he just want to say stupid?right?

Bei Yumen pouted, "Are you praising me or belittling me?"

"I am praise, praise."

"..."

With a snort, Bei Yumen simply didn't speak, and walked northward.Fujikawa also smiled without saying a word, and seemed to be happily following Kita Mimon.

The sun gradually sank into the sky, and the night completely covered it. Bei Yumen lost his daze, and then he realized that the forest seemed to be quiet and a little frightening.

Compared with the horror of the half-demon forest directly challenging life, the Wangyou forest, which plays with people in the palm of its hand, is full of treachery. It doesn't seem like it will pounce on creatures like blood demon wolves anytime and anywhere, but it feels like that The long-haired woman in white seems to appear easily...

No, Bei Yumen shuddered all over, and he who was walking ahead stopped at first.

"..."

He paused and waited for a while, until Fujikawa stepped forward and asked him with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Kita Mimon smiled, and pulled Fujikawa forward with some embarrassment, "You...can you walk in front of me?"

"..." Fujikawa was taken aback, and laughed a little, "Why so suddenly."

He said so in his mouth, but he still walked in front of him according to Bei Yumen's words, not too far away, Bei Yumen could grab his clothes as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Bei Yumen will not be stingy to tell everyone that he is actually afraid of ghosts, but don't they all say that you can't call them by their first names in places where they may appear?As long as you say it, something will appear...

He shrank his shoulders, and had no choice but to say politely, "Don't you think the forest at night is scary? It seems that there will be..."

"Oh——" Fujikawa suddenly realized, and looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"Ah! No way, Fujikawa!"

Kita Mimon was agitated, and quickly reached out to cover Fujikawa's mouth, but Fujikawa was much taller than him, making him stretch his hand quite long.Startled by his sudden movement, Fujikawa opened his eyes and looked at Kita Yumen with a nervous expression.

"I can't say that word! Didn't everyone talk about it, and after that... will it really come to you?"

"..."

So... so cute, with a nervous look on his face, he asked himself not to say that word, so cute!

He knew that Bei Yumen was not very courageous, but how could he be so cute?

... No, Fujikawa felt like he was about to laugh out loud.

Although it was already night, the time was actually only nine ten o'clock. Bei Yumen looked like a small dog with fried hair, with its tail clamped tightly and staring around.Fujikawa restrained the corners of his mouth from twitching. He believed in the existence of souls, but he was not as afraid as Kita Mimon, so he would not be taboo about so many things.

Also because he is not afraid, the female classmates who are interested in him like to hold his hand occasionally when talking about strange stories, but Fujikawa has never been able to distinguish whether the other party is really afraid or pretending.Only Bei Yumen had such a fierce reaction, this was the first time he encountered it.

In this way, the reason why I didn't like looking in the mirror when I was in Aner before, maybe it was also mixed with these...

Fujikawa thought about it leisurely, until he was sure that he would not laugh out loud, then gently took Kita Mimon's hand covering his mouth.

"I won't tell you, don't worry."

"..."

Beiyumen stared at him and nodded. The rustling of leaves around stimulated his spirit all the time, woo...he suddenly missed the cry of the Gorefiend wolf.It was too dark, and Bei Yumen kept persuading himself that there was nothing strange around him, while soothing his beating heart.

Seeing this, Fujikawa smiled teasingly, "How about I hold your hand? You won't be afraid."

"..."

No, Bei Yumen shook his head, his hands were so nervous that they were about to break out in cold sweat, how could he have the nerve to hold hands.

He pursed his lips, although he didn't take Fujikawa's hand, but he did hold Fujikawa's clothes.

Seeing his appearance, Fujikawa coughed a few times to hide his smile. He really didn't know whether he should tell Kita Yumon that there was such a thing as magic. Could it be that Kita Yumon forgot that he was in Tirekin? Ever practice with photon spheres that can be used as lighting?

Should I remind him?But it's so cute to see him so scared...

Fujikawa's heart is at war between heaven and man.

But after all, he couldn't bear to make Bei Yumen so worried, he patted Bei Yumen's head, and gently rubbed his hair.

"Kitamimon, if you're scared, use a photon ball?"

"Photon sphere...?" Kita Mimon blinked and remembered after a while, "That's right!"

Yes!yes!How could he have forgotten?Light magic can illuminate the darkness!

Great, it's really great to have such a humane magic... Woohoo...

Kita Mimon sniffed, but didn't take back his hand holding Fujikawa's clothes. He took out his staff from his bag, and pointed gently at the front.

After thinking about the scope of the magic, Bei Yumen carefully condensed the light element, and then whispered, "Photon sphere."

A huge sphere suddenly appeared from the front of the staff, and the radiance immediately illuminated the scenery in front of them. At that moment, it seemed that some figure disappeared in front of the two people, as if avoiding the light .

A white, long-haired... figure...

"..." Bei Yumen was a little stunned, he pulled Fujikawa's clothes, "I just...did I see something?"

"..." Fujikawa paused, then coughed a few times, "No, nothing."

Fujikawa, your pause betrayed your intentions... Kita Mimon pursed his lips, his fearful goosebumps popped out.But now that he has recruited photon spheres, there should be no need to worry about any ghosts and ghosts under sufficient lighting...

That's right!Who said he was afraid of ghosts, he wouldn't!Where there is light, he will not!

Even if the one just now was really the legendary Piao Piao in white, he still didn't believe that he dared to provoke him under such a strong light! ……I guess so?

With a sigh of relief, Bei Yumen forced himself to look in all directions, and at the same time kept his feet from changing direction, so as not to lose the direction of the north all at once.

Everything in the field of vision is illuminated by the light of the photon sphere, and there is indeed nothing, not even a monster.

In the presence of light, those leaves that were blown by the wind and made a sound seemed less scary.

"Aren't you afraid?" Fujikawa asked with his handsome eyebrows, seeing his smug expression.

"It's so bright now, I'm not afraid."

Bei Yumen said with confidence, he let the photon ball hover over the heads of the two people, and moved with their footsteps.

Seeing that he was so happy, Fujikawa didn't say much, just looked at the corner of his clothes that was still being held... He couldn't help but smile again.

After the forest was illuminated, Bei Yumen also paid more attention to observe the situation near the river.

On the premise of not losing direction, he originally wanted Fujikawa to stand there and wait for him, but he remembered the scene when Fujikawa and Hero suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes in the half-demon forest, and he dared not act alone again.

In the end, we had to become two people walking sideways like crabs, so that if we approached the river like this, we would not lose our original direction.

"It seems that there is really a problem with the water here."

Bei Yumen just wanted to check whether the plants near the river were also polluted, and just as he approached and squatted down, the stench came again. black plants.

"Um……"

Fujikawa nodded. So, they have been in the forest for several hours, how come there is no obvious change?

They shouldn't be going in the wrong direction...or are they already in the mountains?But……

"...Fujikawa." Kita Mimon pulled Fujikawa's clothes, and seeing that he didn't respond, he called again, "Fujikawa."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Fujikawa looked down at him.

"……that."

Bei Yumen, who was squatting on the ground, pointed to the not far away, honestly, he didn't want him to see anything, "What is that?"

Fujikawa was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction Bei Yumen pointed, and there seemed to be something hiding behind the tree.

"What is that?" Fujikawa squinted his eyes, only to see a small head protruding, "...is it a child?"

"Really? Are you sure it's a child?" Kita Mimon's expression was terrified, "Do you really think he's a person? Is he a person?"

"..."

He understood why Bei Yumen had such a terrified expression. Firstly, it was strange for a child to appear in the forest, and secondly, the figure was only hiding in the shadow behind the tree and refused to come out.No way, although he believes in the existence of souls, he has never actually seen such things as ghosts. To be honest, Fujikawa doesn't think it's a...ghost.

Seeing Bei Yumen's closed eyes, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Come on, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Fujikawa patted him on the head and slowly pulled him up. At this moment, Kita Mimon hid directly behind Fujikawa without any shyness.Fujikawa smiled, he always had a feeling of satisfaction.

One hand comforted Kita Mimon's hand clutching his clothes, and Fujikawa looked in the direction of the figure, which happened to be the direction they were heading in.

He walked forward slowly without fear, his eyes fixed on the figure, because he knew that the figure was also staring at the two of them.

"Who are you? Are you a lost person?"

Fujikawa stopped after walking a distance, and shouted to the figure, "Come out, we won't hurt you."

"..."

The figure seemed to shrink its shoulders from Fujikawa's words, as if it didn't intend to reply.

There was no other way, Fujikawa had no choice but to go on and walked safely for a short distance. Even Kita Yumon, who didn't dare to open his eyes at first, poked half of his head out behind Fujikawa.

It's true that he is very scared, but it is not what he wants to hide behind. In a way, he is afraid and loves to watch it!

As they got closer and closer to the figure, the light from the photon sphere gradually shone there, until the appearance of the figure came into their eyes—it was really a child.

...It's really a child!

In addition, his eyes were still a bit sad, sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, the moment Bei Yumen met his eyes, he had the illusion of wanting to faint to escape reality.The children in the horror movies are very scary, no way, could it be that he is an innocent soul who got lost in this forest and lost his life...

Kita Mimon didn't have much courage to be frightened, his brain stopped functioning instantly, only Fujikawa was left looking at the child calmly.

boy with pointed ears...

The boy had a pair of dazzling amber eyes, but they lost their luster because of lack of vitality. Fujikawa looked at him with a slight frown.

"You...are an elf?"

When the boy heard his words, his emotionless face remained unchanged, and his eyes were still sad.He stood up slowly, behind him was the shadow caused by the photon sphere, it should not be a ghost.

"Bei Yumen, it's okay, he's not a ghost." Fujikawa comforted the people behind him softly, "Look, he has a shadow."

"..."

Before breaking away from the pair of resentful eyes, Bei Yumen grimaced, and it took a long time before he dared to open his eyes.

Although the shadow behind the boy cleared away his doubts that he was not a ghost, the impression of this child still made Bei Yumen tremble a little.The boy ignored the conversation between the two, he just looked at Fujikawa quietly.

It wasn't until the air fell into silence again that he opened his mouth slowly, and a childish voice pierced the air.

"Who are you guys? Why do you smell like Lana? Where is Lana?"

Although his voice was clear and tender, his tone was very steady, as if he was reciting without any emotion.

Bei Yumen stared at the boy talking to Fujikawa in a daze, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he should, it seems...not a ghost.

"Don't you deny that you are an elf?"

"..." The boy stared at him, just plainly said, "I didn't admit it either."

This way of speaking is just like Kai... It's just that Kai is a little more angry and more vivid, unlike the boy in front of him, who is a little lifeless.

Fujikawa breathed a sigh of relief, although the attitude of the boy in front of him could not be called friendly, but since he knew Lanai, he didn't seem to have any deep hatred with Lanai, so everything would be easy to handle.

The boy's eyes seemed to see through people, Fujikawa was not afraid, and looked directly at the somewhat hollow amber.

"We need to find the source of this river. Many of Lanai's family members have died because of a disease outbreak caused by the poison in the river."

It was useless to lie to this boy—Fujikawa felt that way.

This is not the first time he has encountered this feeling, just like the smiling Hero, but he can still pretend to be perfunctory to Herro.

But now for this boy, he thought, honesty is the fastest shortcut, and the boy in front of him must have something to do with the whole thing.

"I heard that rivers should be guarded by mountain gods, so we need to get out of this forest and find the source of the river to find out. Are you the elf of this forest? Can you help us?"

The boy was silent for a few seconds before slowly opening his mouth, "I'm Guy, maybe the mountain god you're talking about is me. There is indeed something wrong with the river, but as you can see, I'm just a helpless elf, what? There is no way to solve it.”

"..."

Sure enough, it was an elf.

Originally, I heard Hughes say that most of the elves on Loftust had disappeared, and Herro also confirmed it later... Then there should be some difficulties for him to stay here, right?

In addition, Guy also said in person that there is something wrong with the river...then there must be something at the source.

"But can you take us to the source of the river?"

"Why should I help you?" Guy tilted his head slightly, his face still indifferent, "Where is Lanai?"

"Are you friends with Lana?" Before Fujikawa could speak, Kita Mimon spoke first, as if he had forgotten how scared he was just now.

Guy looked at him, and said after a while, "Lana is my...friend."

After hearing what he said, Fujikawa immediately answered his question.

"Lana is dead."
