23.

"Someone flew over on something like a broomstick."

Karna saw what it was, and said this to Yumi.

"The broom... This is the setting in Sanae's comic book," Yumi commented after watching the person fly away and disappear into the sky as a small black dot, "Sure enough, the saying that travel increases knowledge is reliable... You can really see everything."

However, after the episode ended, she still had to worry about the language barrier.Moreover, for some reason, Xi Jian had a premonition that this trip would not go well...

"Are those two in the room?"

"I haven't been out, and I haven't done anything else."

The monitor truthfully reported what he saw to the person who asked, but the person who received the report frowned.Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he shouted at the observer: "Quick! Open the door!"

"But……"

"Quick! Those two might have already escaped!"

The door of the room was opened, and the scene in the room didn't seem to match their guess - the girl master was sitting on the big bed in the center of the room, while her servant was standing on the side, it was indeed as the observer said, nothing unusual .However, if you look carefully, the expressions of these two people are very dull, as if they are dolls who have been programmed.What's more, the door was opened so rudely, and the girl who looked like a nobleman didn't react at all.Now, everyone present saw that something was wrong.

——These two were clearly made to confuse them, that little girl was not as easy to deceive as they had imagined at first.Maybe, they were played around by her from the very beginning.

"Give up the surveillance here, and send someone to hunt them down!" The furious magician issued an order, "As long as they are still in this city, they cannot be allowed to escape!"

The "seal designation" order has been issued, and those who have received the order are required to act immediately—to catch those two daring guys at all costs.

After several hours of searching, a sudden hunter who had been ambushing in a certain block discovered that the two people who were targeted had entered his attack range at some point, suppressed his excitement, and launched a A blow that has been charged for a long time.

Yumi and Karna wander the streets of London like two real tourists.

But, how should I put it, there seemed to be something special about what they saw besides the usual sights and attractions.

For example, when passing a certain alley, I saw that there seemed to be a group of people fighting inside, and red and green lights were very conspicuously flying all over the sky, and a red light almost flew out and accidentally injured the two passing by. Fortunately, Karna's reaction The speed is fast enough; another example is that when passing a department store that seems to have closed down, a person in a black robe is talking to a doll in the window, and the doll actually nodded; Wearing a strange style of robe, holding a small wooden stick, walking around the street like no one else.

Yes, this is obviously an abnormal thing.

Probably the "other side" of this city, Xijian thought, because she herself belonged to the "other side" completely, so she accepted this kind of thing very well.But the "other side" here looks too... stupid?

After all, talking to a closed shop window on the street really does look like a mental disorder at first glance.

Later, Xijian also began to stop paying special attention to these people wearing similar robes of different colors and styles that he saw more and more frequently, but tried to learn a few words of the language here, such as "Please give me this" "I'm sorry ” “Thank you” is a common sentence.

Karna was also dragged by her to learn together, the reason was "wouldn't it be better to master a little more things?" They found a passerby who seemed to be friendly and patient, and saw the "art" that confuses human beings in the evening. Under the circumstances, they finally learned what they wanted to learn.

Then, facing the store clerk's "I don't understand" expression, Yumi stood in front of the counter, looking at each other with a wooden face.

what's up?

Karna...Karna can't help either, because the clerk doesn't understand what he's talking about.

At this time, a person from the side spoke up to relieve the embarrassment. He directly asked Xi Jian: "Is this lady Japanese?"

"……Yes."

Hearing the familiar language, Xi Jian suddenly felt very moved.

"Well, if you don't mind, you can tell me what you want to buy, and I can help."

"Hey...is this bothering you?"

"No, no, actually, I'm the tour guide of the tour group, and I have to wait for the group members to come back here, so I can help you if there's nothing to do."

Helping Xi Jian buy what she wanted, the kind tour guide made another very tactful mention.However, Xi Jian understood it, and the general idea was "people here generally can't understand English with a strong accent"...

……

Really tired.

I don't know what Karna thinks, but Xijian feels to herself... Ever since she came here, she seems to have been encountering this very embarrassing little trouble.

If I had known earlier, perhaps, I should have rejected those magicians decisively in the first place.

Counting the time, they spent almost a day outside, and it's time to go back, Xi Jian thought, when she left, she still thought about putting a paper figurine shikigami in the room, wondering if it would be able to confuse Effect……

Strolling on the streets of London again, with Karna holding a shopping bag beside her, and some incomprehensible words ringing in her ears, Yumi felt inexplicably that the embarrassment and tiredness just now had suddenly disappeared.

It looks like this, although it is a bit crazy, but the overall peaceful and idle life seems to be good...

Turning around a street corner, there was obviously nothing unusual around, but Xi Jian had the feeling of "being watched by something" inexplicably.

Then, at this very moment——

The sound of shopping bags falling to the ground, the sound of something quickly piercing through the air, the feeling of being suddenly taken aside, and the burning pain in the cheek that was felt after a long delay.

When she realized it again, Karna had already held her in his arms in a protective posture.

"Don't look up."

Karna's voice rang above her head.

The side face was pressed against his chest, but at this moment, she didn't care about being shy or thinking about it at all. In fact, Xi Jian was already startled by the sudden change.

"Yes……?"

"It's an attack, and the target is you."

Karna looked in the direction of the attack, and could detect the attacker somewhere, but the opponent's hiding place was chosen very cleverly, just blocking his gaze.

Since the first attack failed, I am afraid that in order to prevent the position from being exposed, the opponent's next attack will not be launched immediately.This also happens to give them a chance to react.

Being targeted?

Xi Jian didn't understand who was going to put her to death, but after thinking about it for a while, it suddenly occurred to her that the magicians had finally made their move.She quietly reached out and touched the scraped wound on her face, her hand was sticky.Moreover, the effect of the attack used by the opponent seems to have a similar effect to that of Miyatsu's arrow. She could feel that the wound also had a tendency to reject the inflow of spiritual power, but because she was not hit, it was just affected, so she Still forcibly covered it with spiritual power for treatment.

"Do you want to fight? But the opponent is in the dark, and we are in the light..."

Karna also thought of this, and was thinking about how to answer, then he felt his collar being pulled by Yumi.

The girl in his arms raised her head, biting her lips, her gaze seemed to hesitate.

"Will Karna mind if I say run away first...?"

Karna took a deep look at her, and said when the girl's expression became uneasy: "No, it's better to say, this is indeed the most reasonable choice now."

Now that they are at an absolute disadvantage, it is indeed the best choice to temporarily retreat. Not being afraid of fighting does not mean that they have to be reckless to bump into the enemy when they have the upper hand. He will also make a decision after thinking about it. Same option.

...However, why does Xi Jian feel that she will arouse his opposition when she makes such a choice?

The plot suddenly changed from "Date in a Foreign Country" to "Escape from a Foreign Country".

The opponent seems to have dispatched quite a lot of manpower, and it is obvious that they are bound to win.They avoided the attack all the way, and the other party seemed to be obsessed with hiding and sniping them. The attackers either hid cleverly, or even if they were found, they would be unable to fight back because they were afraid of affecting ordinary people.In the end, when Karna took Yumi to jump into an inaccessible alley, Yumi also planted a lot of enchantments and spells around their hiding place, and a spell was pasted at the entrance of the alley.

Leaning against the wall at the end of the alley, Yumi gasped for breath, trying to calm down her beating heart.

"My hunch...forget it."

It would be better to say that I am unlucky enough to be involved in danger no matter where I go.

"The other party was sent by those people from the Magic Association. It's really difficult to deal with...the paper figurine shikigami was left behind..."

"This time you underestimated the enemy, see you later."

Karna said suddenly from the side.

"Hey... is, is that so?"

"Although the opponent made a mistake from the very beginning, you were also affected. You misjudged the strength of the opponent, and thus underestimated the enemy."

"...Yes, you are right..."

Thinking about it, I was really a little... drifting, Yumi admitted the mistake Karna pointed out with some embarrassment.

If he hadn't underestimated the enemy, he wouldn't have gotten Karna into trouble again.

After a while, she heard Karna ask, "Xijian...why aren't you angry?"

"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?"

Xi Jian didn't understand what he was thinking again.

"Because I don't know why, maybe sometimes I talk too much," Karna thought for a while, and said, "Whenever I say something to others, it always angers them... However, You never were."

"I have never quite understood this point."

Can people really understand each other through language?Karna has been skeptical about this.Rather than understanding, misunderstandings and conflicts are more likely to arise between people through language.However, Yumi kept showing him that "understanding" might also be possible.

"Is this... a matter of doubt?"

Xi Jian asked back in puzzlement.

"Because what Karna said is indeed correct. It would be better to say, 'what I heard' is kindness, right? Since it is kindness, why should I be angry? Of course I prefer the truth to the fake kindness that beats around the bush. kindness."

She said this as if it was a matter of course.

"yes……"

Karna stopped talking, and didn't know what he was thinking.Xi Jian glanced at him, but couldn't see any special reaction from him, so she carefully went to the alley to investigate.

The function of that spell seems to be to make ghosts hit the wall, but she is not very clear about the specifics, but it obviously still has a certain delaying effect anyway, at least the chasing soldiers haven't found this place yet.But... If you keep going back and forth here but can't get out, sooner or later, those people will be suspicious, so they have to move in advance.

But why was it suddenly targeted?

When leaving the city, Ximi kept thinking about this question.However, she couldn't figure out how the magicians thought, so she didn't understand what threat she was posing to them.

They walked all the way to remote places, and finally came to what seemed to be a suburb at night.The most conspicuous thing here is a large piece of wasteland, and then a river that runs across the wasteland. The water in the river has been frozen, and even the sound of the water flow cannot be heard, and the surroundings are completely silent.

"...I just realized that today is the night of the full moon."

Finally able to rest for a while again, Yumi found that the surrounding wasteland and rivers were shrouded in extraordinarily bright moonlight.She raised her head and looked at the full moon hanging in the night sky.

However, for some reason, the moon seen tonight seemed a little strange.

The entire moon looked extraordinarily cold, and even the light seemed to dim.However, what can happen on the moon, or in the moon capital?

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Yumi looked away.Anyway, even if something really happened...it must have nothing to do with me.

Walking aimlessly along the river, not knowing where to go next.At this time, he suddenly felt the invasion of the chill of the night, Yumi shivered, and shrank back towards Karna.

"See you in the evening?"

"It's okay, it's just that I suddenly feel a little cold... Huh?"

As soon as the words fell, a warm coat fell off, Yumi raised her head and found that Karna had put his coat on her body.

"That should work," he said.

He whispered "thank you" and wrapped his coat which was too big for him, Xi Jian pursed his lips.

"I always have to trouble you..."

"I don't think it's a 'trouble', in fact, it makes me very happy that there is something I can do for you."

"..."

Xi Jian wrapped the coat around her body again.

"Is there no way we can go back to Japan?"

It was not through formal channels, but directly brought over by people from the Magic Association, so it was obviously very difficult to return normally.

"So now, you and I are wandering in a foreign country with nothing?"

Without waiting for Karna to answer, Xijian said to herself, and then she suddenly smiled slightly.

"However, if it's with Karna, it doesn't matter where you are."

In this world, now only by his side is her final shelter.Only "Karna" can maintain the existence of "Yujian".The girl who was rejected by the world smiled at the "light" that came to her again and illuminated her.

——That is wholehearted dependence and trust.

At this moment, the surroundings seem to be quieter.The frozen river reflected the cold moonlight, and the moonlight enveloped the two of them softly.

Karna lowered his head, and Yuki met his gaze again.Yes, no matter how many times, I will be deeply attracted by this person.

The mood that my mother had described that I couldn't understand before, now I understand it as if I suddenly woke up.Such a cautious mood, wanting to get closer but afraid of being burned by the other party's light; that way, even the other party's name seems to have a sweet taste, a novel mood.

What is the difference between gods, humans, and monsters?Xi Jian suddenly remembered that he had asked such a question.Then, I got my mother's answer.

——The difference is that the gods don't know what "admiration" is.God understands "love" but not what it means to "admire" another person.God can't really bond with anyone.Because he will never know what it means to cherish "the only one" with all his heart.So, Xijian... I hope you learn to be a human being, because human life is short, so human beings understand what is truly "valued".

……

I think I understand, Yumi thought, I understand, what is that—

——Because of this person, I really learned what "admiration" is.

However, the beautiful atmosphere will always be broken at critical moments.

From the corner of his eye, Karna spotted an object that looked like a light and fluffy cloth falling slowly from midair in front of him.He reminded Xijian in time, and when she also looked in that direction, she trembled because she recognized the thing.

"impossible……"

She opened her eyes wide in shock, murmured, and unconsciously grasped Karna's hand tightly.

"Impossible...how could it appear here..."

At the same time, the true face of the thing is gradually revealed.It was a piece of bluish-white cloth about ten fathoms (about 18 meters) long, as if it had been separated from the moonlight, and slowly fell to the ground.

"Did you find anything unusual?" Karna's voice sounded from beside him.

"That's...that's...

"That's the 'Moon Feathercoat'...! Karna...that's someone from the Moon Capital!"

All kinds of absurd guesses filled his mind instantly, and Yumi almost yelled out this sentence out of control.

The author has something to say:

Hello everyone, my name is Xijian. I am the princess of the former Yuedu. Now I am living in a foreign country and being hunted down. I can’t speak the language and have no money.
