The rise of new forces of elves

The Akita family's castle hall.

"...That's what happened. Everything was caused by this owl and this ghost elf~"

After Kazumi fully described what happened, he glanced sideways at the owl lying on the carpet, reached out and picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip.

The head of the Akita family, who had not fallen asleep, heard the news of the resolution of the matter as he wished, but the shock and anger in his heart were far greater than the joy.

It was really hard for him to accept that the owl who had lived at home for decades and almost grew up with him was related to these attacks.

"Owl, is she telling the truth?"

Facing Mr. Akita's questioning, the owl lying on the carpet timidly turned its head away and called out weakly, which was regarded as admitting all this.

After looking at the Owl with complicated eyes for a while, Mr. Akita turned to look at Lichuan. To be precise, it was the Poké Ball that Lichuan was playing with back and forth in his hand.

"Can I see that ghost elf?"

"Of course!"

Lichuan agreed easily.

As the client, Mr. Akita wants to see the 'real murderer', which is completely reasonable.

After opening the elf ball, Candlelight Spirit's small body suddenly appeared motionless in front of several people.

Facing Heiluga's evil fluctuations, even with the obstruction of the owl, Candlelight Spirit was still affected to a certain extent.

For the Candlelight Spirit, which was only at Level 3, even if it was just the aftermath, it was an offensive it could not resist, and it simply fell into a coma at that time.

Looking at his appearance now, he is obviously still in a coma.

Mr. Akita walked closer, glanced back and forth a few times, and couldn't help laughing to himself, "It's really funny that such a little guy has caused panic in the Akita family."

After a pause, Mr. Akita turned to look at the old housekeeper who was waiting nearby, "Notify them and say that the matter has been completely resolved and let them sleep peacefully!"

"As for this elf..." Mr. Akita pinched his chin lightly and glanced at the elf ball in Lichuan's hand. He knew that the Candlelight Spirit had become a trophy gained during the entrustment process, so he was ready to give it a favor.

Just as he was about to speak, the weak call of the nighthawk reached the ears of the three people present.

Looking at the nighthawk with its watery eyes and pleading face, Mr. Akita somehow understood its meaning.

It is interceding for the Candlelight Spirit.

"I haven't even finished my words yet you think I want to punish it?!"

Mr. Akita suddenly laughed out of anger. He tapped the owl in the air with his right hand a few times, and wanted to curse a few words, but when the words came to his mouth, he thought that he could not lose his dignity in front of outsiders.

After taking a deep breath, Mr. Akita stared at the Owl with an iron face and said slowly, "Since no one in the castle has suffered life-threatening injuries, according to my opinion, both of your lives are safe."

"But!" Before the owl could express his gratitude, Mr. Akita raised his voice slightly, "If something like this happens, it is absolutely impossible for either this ghost elf or you to stay in the castle again! "

The owl didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. His eyes moved back and forth between Candlelight and Mr. Akita, and finally he gave a grateful smile to Mr. Akita.

However, no matter how you look at it, this smile looks bitter and confused.

Where can it go after leaving the castle where it has lived almost all its life?

Mr. Akita, whose original intention was to drive the nighthawk out of the house and leave it to fend for itself, stared at the old face of the nighthawk, and his heartstrings were inexplicably touched.

"Is the Nighthawk actually that old?"

The image of him as a child, when he was lifted up by the power of an owl and flew into the sky to play, flashed through his mind inadvertently. Mr. Akita subconsciously touched the corners of his eyes.

Even though he took good care of himself, wrinkles started to appear on the corners of his eyes.

"If we just drive the nighthawk out like this, it might not be long before it dies in the wind and rain..."

Thinking of this, Mr. Akita's tense facial muscles relaxed. After sighing, he reached out and placed his hand on the head of the owl.

"Forget it, I take back what I just said, you should stay in the castle~"

Raising his head in surprise, the owl's eyes were filled with wonder and joy at the unexpected turn of events.

The next second, accompanied by the whimpering sound of the nighthawk, clusters of crystal tears flowed out of his eyes, wetting the gray-brown feathers on his face.

Mr. Akita patted the owl on the head with some emotion. He did not expect that the owl would cry like this because of this sentence.

It can be seen from this that the owl still has very deep feelings for the Akita family.

Under the influence of this episode, Mr. Akita's anger subsided a lot.

However, even after the anger has passed, Mr. Akita still insists on his previous opinion regarding the candlelight spirit that feeds on life energy - the candlelight spirit must not stay in the castle!

However, different words can be used to achieve different effects for the same thing.

"Brother Lichuan."

Lichuan, who had been serving as the background for a long time, suddenly heard Mr. Akita's greeting. He was confused in his heart, but he took a few steps closer to Mr. Akita.

Seeing Li Chuan approaching, the owl's attention was also attracted, Mr. Akita slowly said, "Brother Li Chuan, I wonder if you have any ideas about raising another elf?"

Lichuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Mr. Akita meant.

At present, it seems that Mr. Akita has obviously forgiven the Owl. After all, after decades, he still has some feelings no matter what.

The two statements of asking oneself to take Candlelight Spirit away and handing it over to him and entrusting him to raise it are the same in terms of the result, but for the owl, the perception of the two statements is quite different. It’s different.

With a thought in his heart, Lichuan immediately decided to cooperate with Mr. Akita.

Mr. Akita wants the owl to promise him gratitude, and Carikawa himself also wants to successfully gain the trust of the Candlelight Spirit.

He could directly take Zhu Guang Ling away. After Zhu Guang Ling woke up from his coma, it would probably take a lot of time for him to win Zhu Guang Ling's trust.

If he can get the owl who is quite close to Candlelight Spirit to take the initiative to help, then he can easily gain Candlelight Spirit's trust.

"I do have such an idea...Mr. Akita, what do you mean?"

Mr. Akita praised Lichuan's cleverness in his heart, but remained calm on his face. He said in front of the owl, "I thought about it, and I can't blame Zhu Guangling for what happened this time. After all, it It’s just to fill our stomachs.”

"But no matter what, because of this incident, people in the castle will still reject Candlelight Spirit to some extent."

"So I was wondering if I could ask you to be the trainer of the Candlelight Spirit, so that you can give this little guy enough care and attention so that he won't risk his life in the wild."

The owl rolled its neck.

Compared with its previous idea of ​​just sending Candlelight away from the castle, the idea of ​​making Candlelight a human elf is obviously better.

At least, Candlelight Spirit doesn't have to work so hard to fill his stomach, or even put himself in danger.

As luck would have it, Zhu Guangling woke up at just this moment, sat up slowly, and looked around confusedly.

Seeing this, the owl immediately threw away his previous thoughts and hooted twice at the candlelight spirit, which immediately attracted the candlelight spirit's attention.

"Moses Moses!"

With a cheerful cry from its mouth, the candlelight spirit swooped towards the owl.

Just as he was about to happily get close to the Candlelight Spirit, the Owl noticed Mr. Akita subconsciously taking a few steps back.

The owl who saw this scene was stunned, and his eyes suddenly became sad.

"The people in the castle will still reject the Candlelight Spirit to some extent."

Thinking of Mr. Akita's words just now, Owl realized that the "people in the castle" also included Mr. Akita himself.

After realizing that there was absolutely no chance of Candlelight Ling staying, the owl stared at Candlelight Ling with some reluctance for a while, and then started communicating with Candlelight Ling.

During this process, the two elves looked at Lichuan next to them from time to time, and then closed their mouths after a while.

Li Chuan, who had been waiting for Zhu Guangling to communicate with the owl, suddenly became energetic, squatted down, and smiled at Zhu Guangling.

Zhu Guangling looked back at the owl reluctantly, but only received an urging.

The purple candle flame swayed, and the candle spirit flew in front of Li Chuan, timidly stretching out its mini hand, "Moses?"

Li Chuan stretched out his index finger and gently touched Zhu Guangling's little hand, and couldn't help but open his mouth wider.

"Candlelight Spirit, I have conquered it!"
