"...I had an annoying dream..." Yao turned over on the bed made of tree roots and murmured to himself.

It is late at night, and even the street lights have gone out. Although the cool breeze by the river is blowing at any time in the "underood underground city", the wind will be a little cool once it is at night. This is probably why the main game of the Harvest Festival is held in the daytime.

The main game "Hippocamp's Jockey", which will be held tomorrow, will be held in the Eve Festival. Yao originally wanted to give his body a lot of rest, but he did not expect that there would be such an ignorant nightmare.

"...want to have a friend with a griffin...?" Yao recalled the last conversation with her father and reached out to hold the necklace tightly. Three years have passed since then. Although she never mentioned this because she was ridiculed by her neighbors, she can now argue with confidence.

The place where my father once traveled must be this box garden world.

Yao chuckled softly and turned over again.

Although he did use the "outer world" as a metaphor, Yao never even dreamed that his father was really talking about the "outside the world". Even though he had heard from relatives that his father had the bad habit of wandering around, knowing that he had left his daughter and ran to another world to wander, it would make people overly angry, causing him to not know what to respond except laughing. Yao lay on the bed and smiled bitterly, and the three-mao cat sleeping beside the pillow raised his head with sleepy eyes.

"...Miss? What's wrong?" Sanmao cat screamed in a "meow".

"No, it's nothing. Sorry to wake you up." Yao apologized while reaching out to touch Sanmao's throat. Sanmao seemed to stretch her waist very comfortably and shrink her body into a ball again.

"If you tell Sanmao Cat about your father... it will definitely say it wants to find your father, right?" Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and held the necklace tightly. However, she thought it was an impossible task.

After coming to the box court, Yao did not try to find his father's reasons.

The biggest reason is that "the three people were summoned here from different eras."

Since people can be summoned from any era to the box courtyard, it is equivalent to suggesting that they may be summoned into the "box courtyard of any period".

If you observe based on the period Yao is currently in, will her father exist in the "Box Courtyard of the Past" or the "Box Courtyard of the Future"? The current situation is that even this is impossible to determine, so there is no way to find it.

As for another important reason... it was indeed because of that invitation letter.

"Give up family, friends, property, and everything in the world and come to the house."

It was moved by this sentence that she had to abandon her past, family, and everything she had and came to the palace that Yao was now staying in the palace. She abandoned her past, who always kept a distance in interpersonal relationships and only communicated with animals' hearts... to get new friends.

The Sixteen Nights and Asuka who responded to the call should have abandoned the same things. In this case, if only oneself lives a life that was tied to the past, it would lead to inconsistent steps. Not to mention that he also did something that was simply framed Sixteen Nights, which caused trouble for the entire community. So no matter what, Yao wanted to avoid causing more serious discord.

"…After that being said, it seems that Shiliu Ye will arrive here tonight?"

Yao got up from the bed and reached out to pick up the cat-ear headphones placed next to the candlestick.

"...It's really not enough to just hand over the headphones to him. At least I'll give him the gifts I'll get in "Hippocamp's Jockey" tomorrow..."

You also need to apologize. Although the other party may not be forgiven after apologizing, the emphasis on correct organization is still a rule that must be followed when surviving in human society.

"Aixia seems to be participating in this game, but I will never lose this time. I will choose "Haiju" early tomorrow morning and find a partner who can trust and rely on." Yao clenched his fists hard, held the cat earphones and retracted back into the quilt.

...However, perhaps because of the high motivation, I couldn't fall asleep under excitement.

When Yao was thinking about what to do to fall asleep, the sound of plucking the strings sounded from somewhere.

"…………Um……"

——When... the refreshing tone stimulated her ears. Although it seemed that she had heard this tone before, she didn't care so much because she wanted to sleep. Yao's eyelids suddenly became heavier and gradually fell asleep in a drowsy and she gradually fell asleep.

The next moment when Zaiyao planned to hand over his body to a gentle sleepy mood and let his consciousness float away-

Accompanied by a lightning, a large amount of smoke and dust were rolled up in the dormitory, and then the entire territory collapsed.

"Woo Meow!"

“Wow…ah……………!”

Lightning ran around, scraping the earth into the sky. Yao and Sanmao, who were thrown into the air by the explosion shock wave, were even pushed to the edge of the cliff of "underood" and almost fell off the cliff with a large waterfall.

"The sound of the piano just now...! It was the sound of the harp that I snatched yesterday...?" After turning over and adjusting the posture, Yao immediately started to think about it in order to grasp the current situation.

This harp that can take away consciousness is the "golden harp" that Yao recaptured from the enemy.

Yao didn't spend much time, and realized that the harp was snatched back by the enemy for some reason.

She got rid of the Sandman's entanglement and stood up to meet with the other members of "no   name" as soon as possible. However, the lightning that hit one after another burned the roots of the tree and caused the soil and rocks to collapse.

Rubber and falling rocks kept scattering like waterfalls. The glare that cleverly flashed through these was noticed from the corner of his eyes that a tree spirit girl who escaped too late.

"Ahhh!" the tree spirit girl screamed loudly.

"Dangerous!" Yao rolled up the wind and flew, and grabbed the tree spirit girl's hand in the falling soil and rocks. After nimblely drilling through the burned roots of the big tree, Yao looked a little surprised to see clearly the object of his rescue.

"How are you...Huh? Are you the girl who stays at the reception desk of the Harvest Festival?" Yao asked in surprise.

"Yes...yes, my name is Kirino. You are from 'no   name'..." The tree spirit girl looked at Yao and recalled.

"Well. Although I want each other to introduce themselves well, I'd better wait until I'm late."

"I...I understand." The tree spirit girl named Kirino bowed her head politely, and the flower decorations on her head kept shaking.

Yao hugged Kirino, dodged the wreckage and flew forward. During this period, the thunder continued to echo in the "underood". In order to collect as much information as possible, Yao increased her hearing sensitivity to the highest limit and peeked at the surrounding situation. So she heard a mindful conversation coming from the "underood" lookout.

"No...no! Even the giants began to attack here!"

"What!"

"Damn it! He actually took advantage of this emergency and came to make trouble..."

As soon as Yao heard this conversation clearly, the bell sounded to warn the giants to attack.
