Elf: I am the adopted son of Sakagi

A'jue returned to the restaurant, his face looking a little heavy.

"Young Master. Do you still remember when you came to me and started practicing?"

Mercury thought carefully and replied: "About three years, nearly four years."

"Really? Time flies so fast..."

A'jue's tone was light, and on the surface it seemed like a simple inquiry, but in fact he was not at peace inside.

He heard the implication of what Boss Banmu just said, and it was to warn him not to forget what he was doing.

A'jue glanced at Mercury and A-Xing beside him with loving eyes.

Being away from things for a long time has allowed him to adapt to his current peaceful life.

Sometimes I feel that educating a disciple and raising my own daughter is a good job.

But there are some paths that, once embarked on, there is no turning back.

"Axing."

It’s been a long time since I heard Ah Ju’s serious tone. Ah Xing instinctively stood up straight and replied loudly: “Yes, father.”

"Repeat what a ninja is."

"The so-called ninja is a being who is hired by the master and then devotes himself to work."

Looking at Ah Xing who answered seriously, Ah Ju nodded and said: "After nearly five years of practice, your performance can be regarded as a qualified ninja. So are you willing to recognize the young master as your master? And serve him from now on?"

Ah Xing's eyes turned red as if she understood something, "I do, Father. It is my honor for you, my young master, to be my lord."

A'jue focused his attention on the boy who was almost as high as his chest in front of him, with complicated eyes.

The disciple who was originally accepted just because of leader Banmu's face frequently brought him surprises.

When we first met him, he was very impressive. He understood the true meaning of training without any guidance, and he was obviously much smarter than normal children.

He is also very strict with himself, and he can grit his teeth and persevere no matter how hard the training is.

There are also abilities gained from suffering in childhood.

Comprehension, hard work, and talent are all indispensable. He is simply the most perfect successor in Ah Ju’s eyes!

This is also the biggest reason why Ah Ju is willing to let Ah Xing serve as his master.

"Little Lord."

"Here, Master Aju."

"Whether it's the battle of elves or the cultivation of poison elves, I have nothing left to teach you. Congratulations, you can start training."

"And" Ah Jue lowered his head, hiding his expression in the shadows.

"A-Xing, I'll leave it to you."

"I will, master."

Although Ah Ju's words didn't mention what he was going to do, both Hu Hu and Ah Xing knew it.

Ah Jue was saying goodbye to them.

He will follow his master as a ninja.

This night passed extremely long...

"Master Aju is gone?"

"Yeah." Ah Xing, who was silently clearing the dishes, felt depressed.

Although she had expected it, when she woke up in the morning and found out that her father had left, her heart was still inevitably shaken.

Sure enough, he still didn't practice enough, Ah Xing cheered herself up.

It's not like I haven't been on missions before, it's just that the deadline of this mission is a little longer, so there's nothing to be frustrated about.

The next time they meet, her father will definitely check her practice results, and they must surprise him!

Thinking of this, the girl's mind turned cloudy again.

Looking at Ah Xing's gradually calming expression, Mercury knew that her depressed mood had eased a lot, so he told her his plan.

"Axing, I'm going to visit the Kanto region and hone my spirit. Do you want to come with me?"

"Wherever the young master goes, I will go."

It was an expected answer.

"Then let's go back to Joban City first. I haven't been home for a long time. I wonder if Uncle Itaki is busy recently."

Mercury is somewhat looking forward to this trip, and it feels like he is returning home after working hard outside.

Now, his strength should be able to help Uncle Banmu, right?

……

Light Red City, Light Red Port, a huge cruise ship docked here.

This is a sightseeing cruise that starts from Kuha City, passes through Asakusa City, Twin Islands, Gurren Island, Shinshin Town, and finally arrives in Joban City.

Mercury and Ah Xing are holding tickets and preparing to board the ship.

Although the airship was faster, Mercury, who was not in a hurry, chose a sightseeing cruise.

I have been in this world for so long and have been studying and practicing, but I have never seen this world properly.

Feeling the sea breeze blowing, Mercury thought: It seems good to take this opportunity to enjoy it.

It was the first time for both of them to set foot on a cruise ship, and they felt that everything was strange. They learned from the sailors that the cruise ship was called the Shengfanhua and had five floors in total.

The B2 floor is the cargo hold, the B1 floor is the ordinary cabin, 1F is the deck and sales area, 2F is the business class, and 3F is the captain's cabin.

"By the way, you are also elf trainers, right?"

The sailor noticed the Poke Balls tied around the waists of the two men. "We have specially opened a battle field at the bow of the ship. We often hold Elf Battle Competitions. If you win, the rewards will be huge."

Hearing about the battle between elves, Mercury couldn't help but become interested.

After all, he has only seen the strength of four people, Uncle Sakaki, Master Aju, A Xing, and Hongichi who challenged Uncle Sakaki.

"Axing, go take a look."

After thanking the sailor, Hui Hu took Ah Xing and walked straight to the battle site.

There was no need for them to search. The place with the loudest cheers was the destination, and the sidelines were already crowded with people.

It has to be said that the battle venue of Shengfanhua is very unique. It will automatically adjust the most suitable venue according to the elves used by both sides of the battle.

For example, between the two parties currently fighting, the half of the field on the side of the horned goldfish is a pool, while the half of the field on the side of the walking grass is a lawn.

Mercury watched the battle with interest and asked, "Axing, who do you think will win?"

Ah Xing thought for a moment and quickly gave an answer.

"Judging from the trainer's instructions, they should all be novice trainers. If this is the case, the side with superior attributes has a greater chance of winning."

"Does that mean you're more optimistic about the walking grass? But I'm more optimistic about the horned goldfish."

It’s not that Mercury likes to play different tunes with Ah Xing.

From the surface, the following battle is indeed dominated by walking grass attributes, and the trainers are also novices and cannot give the elves much help in command.

But there are other factors to consider in elf battles, such as weather and environment.

The pool where the horned goldfish lives is its natural barrier. All attacks from walking grass are avoided by the horned goldfish through diving.

However, although the angle goldfish's water gun move has little effect, as long as it hits enough times, the accumulated damage will be enough to defeat the walking grass.

The balance of the duel developed just as Mercury imagined. Walking Grass was helpless against the almost shameless behavior of Goldfish, and was about to lose the match.

Unexpectedly, the trainer of the horned goldfish taught mercury a lesson.

"Anglefish, give him the final blow, peck!"

No, brother!

It's true that flying-type moves can restrain grass-type elves, but why bother when you're guaranteed to win?

I saw the horned goldfish obeying the instructions of its trainer, jumping up from the water, flying straight to the walking grass, preparing to cluck with the walking grass.

Then it was nimbly dodged by the walking grass and kept flopping on the grass.

The anglerfish's tail whips not the grass, but the fragile skin of mercury.

A pure aquatic elf will not die from lack of oxygen like the fish in the previous life, but obviously the horned goldfish without legs should not be able to move on the shore.

In the end, the horned goldfish could only be used by Walking Grass to absorb the moves, which completely drained him of his physical strength.

Facing Ah Xing's gaze, Mercury's face turned red.
