Legend of Eudemons

In this state, the selection meeting can only be suspended once.Many staff members of the training center were at the selection venue, and they rushed out to drag Huiyue out, as if he was some kind of dangerous product.Blackman watched them walk away with a worried look on his face:

"Huiyue shouldn't be treated badly, right?"

"Will they be quarantined? Until the estrus period is over. But what should I say, if I can't mate/mate, I'm sure they'll go berserk again. The cat's estrus period will really make a fuss, it's scary." Shiratori folded his arms and said. "But you really like to worry about it. Are you friends with him?"

"Actually not. It's just a familiar face in the training center. But I think he is very upright and a nice person."

"Worry guy."

"Isn't it the same for the little white bird who said so. You went up and kissed him-of course, of course, I know you are helping him!" Blackman saw the white bird looking at him, and quickly explained, But Shiratori didn't think the way he looked at him was threatening, and he wasn't angry at all.Before he started to appease Huiyue, he thought that it would scare others. If he cared about that, he wouldn't have done it in the first place.So he doesn't care what other people say.

"If I encountered that situation, no matter what, I would never have thought that I would step forward to appease you, and even kiss or something. By the way, you kissed very intensely..." He said the last sentence, his voice lowered significantly , but the sound is still audible. "...Little White Bird is really powerful."

Their conversation was interrupted for a while, before Blackman said hesitantly: "Actually, I... haven't had my first estrus yet."

"Ah—is that so?" Shiratori replied perfunctorily.

"The little white bird has had it, the first estrus period. Even more than one estrus period." Blackman said, his tone is calm now.

The white bird stared up at him.

"The little white bird is actually not as small as it looks." Blackman looked at him, his eyes and tone were calm, but serious.

"Your animal shape is a big adult bird. The moment you return to your original shape, the powerful presence that shakes the air is definitely not a baby bird." He tilted his head and said, "I heard that the white bird's baby bird is very Weak, unable to fly until the adult feathers are fully grown, and have poor athletic ability, so young white birds are easy to catch. But when they are adults, they are strong and powerful, and can fly to very high places. Even seeing them It's not easy to look up."

"I never said I was a fledgling," said the white bird. "It's just that you think so arbitrarily and call others 'Little White Bird'. Although I don't care."

"The little white bird is a powerful adult white bird, why did you come to participate in the selection?"

This question is a bit puzzling.Why can't adult white birds do it?

Seeing Shiratori's suspicious eyes, Blackman explained: "Ah, no. It's just a little strange. Little Shiratori should be very old, I guess it should be older than all the Eudemons we present. "

Shiratori nodded slightly: "I think so too. Although I don't know your actual age, most of you are under 30 generations."

"Yeah." Blackman replied with a smile, "So, I'm curious. If the little white bird was domesticated and raised from a young age, you are so powerful, you should have been assigned to the appropriate position long ago, why would you still be with a group of In your opinion, young people who are no different from children come to participate in the selection of the prince's Eudemons. And if you grow up wild, wild adult white birds should not like living under the control of humans, and it is impossible to be Was it captured? I heard that no one has been able to capture an adult white bird for hundreds of years."

"I didn't grow up in this country," Shiratori said, "so naturally I can't talk about assignments. I came here voluntarily in order to live a comfortable life in the palace. And I'm not wild, very Get used to living with humans."

There is a bit of truth in this.He did enjoy the luxuries and comforts of the palace, but that was not a very important reason.He didn't lie to Kaina, he wanted to be Kaina's assistant officer, and he did have a reason to regard him as a friend.But let’s not talk about this reason, it’s not worth mentioning at all.

"Hey~~"

"Why, do you think this reason is unacceptable?"

"No, it's a common, very acceptable reason," Blackman said. "It's the same for me. As long as there are delicious food and drinks, it doesn't matter what kind of job you do. It's just..." He looked at Shiratori with a warm smile, "I think the little white bird is a kind of more refined When I saw it for the first time, it seemed that I lived in a world completely different from ours. Is my feeling wrong, or is the dreamy appearance of the little white bird fooling me~"

They chatted for a while, and suddenly Maria Lia came towards them.There is no shortage of staff at the selection meeting. Maria Liya, who is considered one of the judges, came to find them in person, and Blackman was surprised.Shiratori seems very ordinary.

"Go over." Maria Liya said solemnly, "His Excellency the Grand Duke and His Royal Highness the Queen let you go."

Before Shiratori could say anything, Blackman had a worried look on his face: "What's wrong? Did little Shiratori make any mistakes?"

"I don't know what the above means." Maria Liya said, "But it has nothing to do with the incident just now. In such a public, such a treatment will be judged as a proper treatment. Whether it's a wrong way or an inappropriate behavior, I can't say well."

"What are you talking about! Didn't the little white bird help Huiyue, and most importantly, prevent him from going berserk and ensure the safety of other people?... It can be said that it has reached the point of sacrificing hue...uh..."

Blackman's voice became softer as he spoke.

On the contrary, Shiratori was very calm: "It's okay." His white eyes looked calm and stable, "I'll be back as soon as I go."

"...Little White Bird..."

Shiratori followed Maria Liya away.

Shiratori was the only one on the huge arena.Around him sat a circle of people on the judging table.Needless to say Kotraka, Oraloga, Luo Jie, and Somerma.The princes and princesses of Antonio, Delonie, Rococo, Keina, and Farman are also there.Marialia sat in Juliette's seat, her face tensed.There are a few people who look like old pedants sitting sparsely behind, and some young people in overalls.It wasn't the jury lineup just now, the whole atmosphere was more like a small interrogation meeting.

Shiratori was not nervous at all.

"Okay, what do you guys want to talk about?"

He gave a boyish and sly smile.

"The phantom beast named Huiyue just now, you said he is in estrus?"

To his surprise, the first person to ask a question was not Kotraka, who wanted to take the lead in everything, but an old pedant.Looking at Kotraka's expression, she was a little frightened just now, but now she looks calm, lost her usual air, and just sat there.

"Yes."

"How did you know?"

"You can tell it just by looking at it." Shiratori said, "You can tell that kind of reaction just by looking at it. If there is any evidence, it must first be the smell. The smell and the unique atmosphere of the phantom beast in estrus are absolute evidence. .However, humans shouldn’t be able to feel it. The sensory functions are different.”

"But no one else seems to notice except you."

"They are all too young." Shiratori said bluntly, "At least half of them are children who have never experienced their first estrus. Although the Eudemons Training Institute will teach them a lot about themselves, because reality always It happened out of the blue, and with just a few random things taught by the training center, they would not be able to react at all when the time came. They didn’t know how to deal with it, and everyone was shocked.”

"The way you dealt with it seems...not appropriate." Auraloja said.

"Come and tell me what is proper. Do you just stand there and do nothing?" Shiratori held his head up, but it felt more like he was looking down at her.Some wanted to protest his disrespectful tone of voice to the queen, but he went on at once, his voice high enough to cut through their protests: "The big cat's rut ​​is very dangerous. If he is allowed to run wild, he may jump on the spot." Go to the place where you are sitting, if you scratch one or two to death, can you still sit here quietly and interrogate me now?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Kaina's expression was particularly dignified, but he was more worried about Shiratori, and he didn't seem to care much about whether Huiyue would pounce on him.

"But I have to say a few more words to that guy. It's not his own fault that he suddenly ran away. Because the estrus period is force majeure, he is too young, and he is a feline. It is unreasonable to ask him to control it steadily. You didn’t notice any signs beforehand, and even sent the phantom beasts who were in danger to participate in some kind of beauty competition—the staff at your training center are the ones with the problem.”

"We won't punish him."

It was Dalony who said this.Everyone was surprised.Kotraka, Oraloja, Luo Jie, Antonio, none of them spoke.He is not the organizer of the selection meeting, nor is he the manager in charge of the Eudemons Training Institute, so where can he say this?But his tone was as sure as if the matter had been settled.

Everyone looked at him.He was very calm, and explained with a smile: "I think he's pretty good. Otherwise, I'll choose him."

"Delloni!"

Kotraka seemed to have recovered from his frustration suddenly, and shouted abruptly.The quick response and loud voice made Shiratori chuckle inwardly.

"How can you—that's absolutely impossible!"

Delloni looked disapproving.

"It's too dangerous! It's impossible! No matter how you think about it, it's impossible. What are you thinking!"

"You don't need to react so strongly, my aunt." Delloni said mockingly. "As the little white bird said, the estrus period is force majeure. It's not that he has malicious intentions or a bad temperament or something-after all, the ones reported by the training center are almost the same. Just choose one at random It’s fine if we don’t like it ourselves.”

"He made such a gaffe - the dignity of the royal family - my dignity - do you know how many nobles are here today?"

"Didn't they just come to watch the excitement? Now that they have watched the excitement, I guess they are quite satisfied." Delloni's tone was relaxed, or he didn't take it seriously at all. "Also, I have said that it is force majeure, so don't hold on to it."

"I think what Brother Daello said makes sense." Keina echoed.

"Kainard, don't interrupt!" Kotlaka shouted arrogantly and unreasonably.

"Actually, I think so too," Rococo whispered to Keina, "but don't mess with her now."

Antonio and Fahrman gave Kaina a comforting look.Kena smiled wryly, took a breath out of his nose, saw Shiratori's still relaxed expression, and smiled in relief.

Shiratori watched the debate between Kotraka and several other old scholars with cold eyes, and interjected out of boredom: "I said—is there anything else I need to do?"

Then they turned to him again.It was as if he had just discovered such a person.

"If you want to discuss Huiyue's matter, then it has nothing to do with me."

Kotlaka was still arguing with someone just now, and when he heard this, his eyes pierced like the light of a knife: "I didn't say that. You, Shiratori—the action just now, even if you have good intentions, but like that The way it was done was completely shameless—it was simply unsightly—”

"I see that many of those nobles are very happy to watch." Daloni interjected, and Kotraka glared fiercely.He ignored it and continued, "Rococo is also very happy, right?"

"elder brother!"

Rococo scolded, he ignored him, turned his head and exchanged a meaningful look with Kaina, and Kaina also smiled in agreement.

"Anyway, the dignity of the royal family—" Kotraka pretended that he had not been interrupted by Delloni, "this kind of thing has been seen by so many people, the royal family is ashamed."

"If I left it alone and he killed one or two, you wouldn't be ashamed?" Shiratori frowned with white eyebrows.

"Anyway, just say it straight, how do you 'punish me'?" Shiratori said contemptuously. "Do you want me to die of being an assistant officer? I still have to seize it and lock it up—but you should know that the latter is impossible."

Kotraka was also at a loss for words, she exchanged looks with Auraloga, and then asked Auraloga to speak:

"We have already discussed this matter, and I just want to tell you the conclusion. Although your reckless move may be out of good intentions, it is really out of the style of the royal family. Doing this kind of thing in front of many princes and nobles, We can't turn a blind eye either. I'm afraid you can't be allowed to go on."

Shiratori heard her speak calmly and restrainedly, but ended up talking a lot, just like what he guessed at the beginning, so he "cut".

"Also, we plan to terminate this selection. We will reorganize and proceed next month. This time, it was because we were too impatient that we made trouble in the midst of a rush. The next time we will definitely proceed."

"You can do whatever you want. You decide whether it is right or wrong, and you can do whatever you say, right." Shiratori smiled sarcastically, "Actually, I don't have any attachment to this position. But because of the past, I was more or less a royal family." Served, a piece of advice. Please be cautious about putting those underage little guys who haven’t even experienced the first estrus period next to your important prince and princess. As for another A few times, it’s none of my business anyway. I’ve been told that I’m not allowed to continue.”

"—Well, I don't think there is any need to do it again."

said a sudden voice.None of the people present.But everyone obviously knew who he was.He stood by the door behind the judging booth, with a long shadow, because the backlight made it difficult to see his face for a while, but his bare head reflected the light like the moon.

"Father!"

"Father!"
