My messenger is a little fox

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ikeda, to bring you here like this!"

Nako Asakura bowed slightly to Ikeda Sai and said, "We don't mean any harm, we just want to ask you a few questions."

Ikeda Sai was obviously in shock. When Li Yu fell from the sky and only said "I have something to do with Ikeda Sai" when he caught him, only the fighting dog barked twice, and none of his temporary teammates stood up to stop him. . His whole body was shaking when Li Yu held him up to the sky.

Asakura Nako's gentle attitude relieved his mood a lot, and he asked cautiously: "What do the three heroes want to ask?"

"Didn't your team go to the outskirts? Why are you back?" Seeing Li Yu nodding to herself, Asakura Nako asked tentatively. This was the first time in her life that she had "interrogated a prisoner."

"Heroes, you still don't know?" Ikeda Sai was shocked at first, and then said as if he was relieved: "So you are arresting me for this!"

After a while, he continued: "This matter has spread almost everywhere in the periphery. Last night, the two teams of Aso Yoshie and the Eighth Prince of the temple got into a fight for unknown reasons..."

"what?"

Ikeda Sai was interrupted by Masami Takeda when he was halfway through his words. She grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Why did they fight? What was the result?"

"How the fight started, I, I don't know!" Ikeda Sai said in horror, "I just heard that they both lost in the end!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Takeda Masami used force on her hands, threw Ikeda Sai to the ground and said angrily: "How could Mitsuhiko be defeated? His strength can beat the opponent's team!"

"Sister Masami, don't be angry! How credible can hearsay be?" Asakura Nako took Takeda Masami's little hand and comforted her.

"Yes! I heard what others said, but I didn't see it!" Ikeda Sai put his palms on the ground and took a few steps back before standing up.

"What did you hear about the news? Why did so many people flock to the inner circle?" Li Yu asked, holding his hands.

Ikeda Sai glanced at Takeda Masami and saw her being held by someone's hand before saying: "The news we heard is that after both teams were defeated, only one miko remained, and the rest were teleported out."

"So many people came to the inner circle for the trial badges left behind. Both teams are the favorites to win the championship, and the scores must be very high. Now those badges or points must be on the remaining miko. , whoever can find her and grab the badge will be not far away from the championship, and it is very possible to even win the championship."

"It's such a big temptation. As far as I know, all the teams who heard the news came here just to try their luck."

Takeda Masami's eyes were a little red, but Nako Asakura held her back from having an attack.

Li Yu's heart was in turmoil at this moment. He was not tempted by the badge or the score, but he didn't expect Aso Yoshie and the Eighth Prince to confront each other so early. The strength of both sides is among the best, and a fight will inevitably lead to losses for both sides. If there is no special grudge, this kind of simple benefit to others should never happen between them, so for now, he still has reservations about Ikeda Sai's words.

As for Asakura Nako, this girl is too innocent. Masami Takeda is still forcing herself to calm down just because she needs to be comforted. Li Yu, who knows her well, has already heard from her words that her heart is in chaos. She is completely worried about her friends. Fortunately, the person she was comforting was even more confused and didn't notice.

"Who did you listen to? It's not bad if there are only five or six hundred people left in such a large area as the trial area. How could a piece of news spread so widely?" Li Yu felt that this matter was full of doubts.

Ikeda Zai took out a piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it and handed it to Li Yu and said: "Fortunately, I am an errand boy in the team. This notice was taken at an intersection and has been placed on me. We also kept it on my body on the way back. I see a lot of these notices.”

Li Yu took the notice: "..."

Well, he can’t read the word fuso yet. He handed it to Asakura Nako and said, "Look!"

After hearing that Li Yu's question made sense, the two girls also recovered a little.

Asakura Nako took the notice and read it with Takeda Masami before saying: "Generally speaking, the two teams of Aso Yoshie and the Eighth Prince fought fiercely, and in the end there was only one miko left. All the badges are in the hands of that miko. Who can catch that miko?" Whoever the miko is will be the champion of this trial. Uh..."

"Does it smell like a conspiracy?"

Li Yu directly pointed out the problem: "First, who saw the conflict between the two sides? Why did he go to such great lengths to publicize this matter?"

"Second, why didn't he catch the witch instead of inciting others to catch her? Is he selfless?"

"Thirdly, after the fire merger last night, so many people came to look for the witch today. I think the news must have spread very widely. So how many such announcements will he make? How many people will it take to do it?"

"Fourth, where are the shrine maidens of the temple? The temple sent a total of four teams. Even if Aso Yoshie's team was destroyed, there should still be two teams still alive. There must be some way of contact between them, at least they We should also be able to confirm the authenticity of this news. Does anyone know where those two teams have gone?"

Li Yu's words were like enlightenment. Takeda Masami calmed down completely but said hard: "Really, I just think this is a conspiracy!"

Li Yu ignored her and still stared at the sweaty Ikeda Sai: "Can't any of you see so many flaws? Do you really believe in an announcement from an unknown source?"

"This...this...hero, you know that we are all rough people, who would think about such a problem? Besides, even if you can think of it, you will try your luck. A business with huge profits, you would rather believe it than not It has nothing.”

Li Yu nodded, at least this time he didn't see that Ikeda Sai was lying.

"Is there any way you can contact the Eighth Prince?"

Li Yu asked Masami Takeda that the easiest way to break this rumor is to find one of the two parties.

"Yes! I didn't expect it to be used!"

Takeda Masami was pleasantly surprised and took out a small, delicate box, inside which lay a gray-brown butterfly. It looked like it had been dead for a long time, but it fluttered its wings when it was thrown into the air.

The butterfly first circled in the air several times, and finally flew in one direction. This was Fuso's tracking powder.

"There's a reaction! That's great!" Takeda Masami said excitedly, "There are Mitsuhiko's footprints within twenty miles. If you follow them, you can find the place where Mitsuhiko's aura is strongest."

Li Yu also smiled, and it would soon be clear whether the announcement was true or false.

"You two leave first. I'll go find you after I send Mr. Ikeda back."

After speaking, Li Yu merged with Ahri, and before Ikedasai was ready, he picked him up and flew towards the direction of his team's torch.
