The Great Adventure in the Magic Forest 3

Nothing more was said that night.

The next morning, a light drizzle began to fall in the forest. It wasn't a heavy downpour; it only left you feeling slightly damp.

Cana and Mira didn't seem to care much. After getting up and eating something, they decided to continue their journey.

However, Eleven considered himself a person of principle; how could he let his friends become so trendy?

This time, instead of searching for rain gear, he used a rain-shielding technique he had mastered six months ago—the method of using Telekinesis Barrier as an umbrella over his head.

The fine raindrops tapped against the Telekinesis Barrier, producing a tinkling sound that, mixed with various sounds of nature, was surprisingly pleasant to hear.

Standing under the transparent shield, watching the water slide down its surface and listening to the patter of rain all around, Eleven and her group felt a strange sense of security.

I actually felt a little happy because I wouldn't get wet and I had somewhere to shelter from the rain.

Lisanna and Elfman held Mira's hands tightly. They hadn't felt this sense of protection for a very long time, not even for something as trivial as helping each other out in the rain.

Watching Eleven strut ahead triumphantly, Mira felt for the first time how right she had been to follow him.

Mira regretted it. Looking at the dejected Eleven, she regretted it even before half a day had passed! Under Eleven's confident leadership, their group unsurprisingly got lost...

Because of the continuous drizzle, a thin layer of mist filled the forest. It clung to the trees like clouds and smoke, making the scene ethereal and breathtakingly beautiful.

However, Eleven was in no mood to appreciate the scenery at the moment. Four pairs of piercing gazes behind him were burning him, making him regret his bold words.

At this moment, he was nervously closing his eyes, exploring his surroundings with all his Spiritual Power. This damned jungle seemed endless; even when Eleven extended his Spiritual Power to its limit, he couldn't see the end. Everywhere was the same sea of trees.

Tap-tap, tap-tap...

Just as Eleven was refocusing, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

Are there any horse-type magical beasts here?

Eleven turned his head curiously, using his Spiritual Power to probe the source of the sound.

A tall, snow-white steed slowly emerged from the misty haze. Its coat was flawless, without a single blemish. Its limbs didn't appear particularly strong; instead, its lines were remarkably soft, and combined with its flowing mane, it exuded an ethereal beauty.

But what shocked Eleven the most was that the white horse had a long, golden horn on its forehead. The horn spiraled forward and shimmered in the mist as the horse's forehead moved.

"This is... a unicorn?"

Eleven was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. Unicorns were legendary creatures, like fairies—fantasy beings no one had ever seen, yet whose existence was documented.

He actually met a legendary figure today who was on par with their guild's most revered creature!

Cana and the others had already noticed Eleven's reaction, and they looked behind him with great curiosity.

The unicorn seemed to have come specifically for them, slowly emerging with a clear objective.

After a cloud of smoke billowed out, several girls gasped in unison. But they quickly covered their mouths with their hands, afraid that their voices would scare away the miracle before them.

Even girls who aren't mages can't be unaware of the existence of unicorns; they're the most beautiful childhood fantasy for girls!

Even Eleven couldn't help but gasp for breath; seeing this legendary creature appear before him with his own eyes was far more awe-inspiring than trying to detect it with his Spiritual Power.

The unicorn seemed completely unafraid of people, and with elegant steps, it walked straight towards Cana, who was standing at the front. It even lowered its noble head and nuzzled Cana's cheek.

"It touched me! It touched me!" Cana exclaimed, flattered and slightly dizzy from the sudden happiness. "Um, can I touch you too?"

As she spoke, Cana shakily raised her little hand and gently placed it on the unicorn's cheek. To her surprise, the unicorn was very cooperative, even tilting its head to allow Cana's caress to be more thorough.

Cana, like a robot, turned to look at her friends behind her, too excited to say a word. She could only show them with her eyes how she was actually touching a unicorn! Oh my god!

Lisanna, who was standing next to her, could no longer resist. She cautiously approached the unicorn and placed her small hand on it. After seeing that the unicorn did not react, she began to gradually increase her movements, stroking the area under its neck vigorously.

The unicorn not only didn't object, but also showed a very enjoyable expression, seemingly quite pleased with the little girl's massage.

The calmest girl was Mira. She only raised her hand slightly at first, but quickly withdrew it, standing aside with a dejected look on her face without making any further moves.

However, at that moment, a force suddenly came from behind Mira, pushing her in front of the unicorn amidst her scream.

"Mira, you should touch it too! This is a legendary unicorn!" Eleven's cheerful voice reached Mira's ears.

Seeing the unicorn so close to her, Mira's heart pounded. She couldn't care less about blaming Eleven for his presumptuous decision. As if she had made up her mind, she closed her eyes tightly and stretched out her left hand.

Looking at the beautiful girl before him, the unicorn obediently placed its forehead gently against Mira's palm.

The moment his palm touched the unicorn's forehead, Mira's body visibly trembled, Eleven could clearly feel a surge of joy emanating from Mira.

It's unclear what's so special about Mira, but the unicorn seems particularly fond of her, as it snuggled into Mira arms and became very affectionate.

Mira opened her eyes in surprise, almost losing her footing in the face of the enthusiastic unicorn. Instinctively, she placed her demonic right hand on the unicorn's large head, but the unicorn seemed completely unbothered, continuing to nuzzle against her.

"Heh, legend says that only innocent and kind-hearted girls can touch a unicorn." Eleven slowly walked to Mira's side, looking at the unicorn being stroked by the demon's arm, and grinned. "So, Mira, can you rest assured now? At least your arm shouldn't be anything evil."

Mira hugged the unicorn's big head, feeling a little ticklish from its rubbing against her, and eventually couldn't help but giggle. But as she laughed, tears suddenly streamed down her face, and she ended up hugging the unicorn's big head and wailing like a child.

This was the first time Mira had cried out loud, the first time she had so freely released the pressure in her heart. Eleven could feel that all the negative emotions that had been suppressed deep inside Mira were being released with her cries at this moment.

She's not a demon, she's not an evil demon! What could be more convincing than the approval of a unicorn?

All the slander, contempt, and hatred she had suffered these past few days melted away like ice and snow at this moment, and she could finally be her most innocent and kind self again.
