Potato Chips Next Door Are on Sale

"Answer my question, Mest, what exactly do you want?" Eleven looked down at Mest, who was lying on the ground, and even used his Telekinesis on him, making him unable to move.

Mest lay on the ground, her lips pursed, silent. She tried to regulate her chaotic breathing and calm the chaotic magic within her.

"Mest, don't push me!"

Seeing that Mest remained silent, Eleven frowned deeply. He didn't want to forcefully break through Mest's Spiritual Power defenses, as that would damage Mest spirit. Without knowing whether Mest was friend or foe, he didn't want to take that step.

Just as Eleven was struggling with her decision, Mest slowly raised her head and spoke, "Ahem, okay, I'll tell you, listen..."

Mest's voice trailed off. Eleven had been listening intently, but suddenly there was silence halfway through. Looking down, he realized she had vanished completely.

Eleven instantly became alert and focused his Spiritual Power. But he was quickly stunned; Mest was actually a hundred meters away, playing hide-and-seek behind a wall.

This guy actually ran away halfway through his sentence! He ran away right under Eleven's nose! He even deliberately didn't finish his sentence? Eleven felt his intelligence had been insulted!

The Telekinesis struck the air with a bang, Eleven was instantly propelled towards Mest.

He must have run away because he felt guilty! He must be a really bad guy! We can't leave him alive!!

(▼⊿▼) Hmph!!

At that moment, Mest was hiding in a corner, panting heavily, but she dared not breathe too loudly, so her face turned red.

Teleporting 100 meters is the maximum distance he can move so far. Fortunately, this isn't in the wilderness; the various buildings here provide excellent cover, so he should be able to avoid Eleven.

But just as Mest leaned against the wall and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard a cracking sound from the wall behind her. The next second, the brick wall behind her exploded, sending bricks flying everywhere.

Mest screamed as he was blasted into the air. Turning his head, he saw Eleven rushing towards him like a ferocious beast, billowing smoke and dust, his eyes clearly filled with ill intent.

Although he didn't know how Eleven found him, it didn't stop Mest from continuing to run away. He didn't want to be caught by Eleven again. With a turn, Mest's figure disappeared into the air once more.

"Hmph, do you think you can get away?" Without the slightest hesitation, Eleven chased after Mest again in the direction she had landed.

The next second, a hundred meters away, another wall shattered, knocking down an entire dilapidated house.

Then, just a hundred meters away, a rumble...

100 meters, rumble~

Explosions and dust filled the air as the two chased each other, their feet treading on rubble as they ran towards Magnolia's city center...

Rewind a little, and Lisanna and Elfman, who were strolling down the street, somehow ended up in front of the orphanage.

"Huh? Isn't this the orphanage? I wonder how Eleven and the others are doing with their investigation. Let's go take a look, Elfman." Lisanna skipped ahead, pulling her brother along as they headed towards the orphanage.

"Um, okay, Lisanna." Elfman still looked naive.

However, before they even entered the orphanage, a tall young man walked out in front of them.

"Hello, Brother Gou ~" Lisanna greeted him very politely.

She recognized many of the people at the orphanage; many of the guild members had gone there with Eleven for meals. Over time, they naturally became familiar with each other and started Doug"Brother Gou," just like Eleven.

Doug recognized Lisanna; he knew the cute little girl. He smiled and said, "Oh, it's Lisanna and Elfman. Are you looking for Eleven? But he doesn't seem to be here."

Upon hearing this, Lisanna tilted her head, a look of confusion appearing in her large eyes. "Huh, why isn't he here? He clearly said he was coming to the orphanage to investigate!"

"Hmm? What is he investigating?" Doug looked at Lisanna with suspicion, eager to know what Eleven was up to this time.

Seeing that Brother Gou seemed completely unaware of anything, Lisanna glanced around furtively, then tiptoed and whispered in Doug's ear, "I'll let you in on a little secret, we're investigating werewolves! We heard there were werewolves appearing at the orphanage, and we're going to catch one!"

"A werewolf?" Doug couldn't help but exclaim.

Lisanna quickly put a finger to her lips and shushed Doug repeatedly, signaling Doug to keep quiet and keep this a secret.

However, Lisanna was so engrossed in enjoying sharing her little secret that she completely failed to notice the fascinating expression on Doug's face after hearing her words.

"Oh dear, did I get seen...?" Doug muttered to himself.

However, Lisanna and Elfman didn't hear this; the two kids were getting a little excited. Since Eleven hadn't been here yet, wouldn't they be able to get firsthand information by investigating the orphanage? This would be a top-notch achievement! They were thrilled!

"Um, Brother Gou, I have to go now. Elfman and I are going to start our investigation. Goodbye!" Lisanna was the type to act on her thoughts, and immediately grabbed Elfman and started running towards the orphanage.

By the time Doug realized what was happening, the two little ones had already run quite a distance. He quickly chased after them, eager to explain something.

"Lisanna, Elfman, wait a minute, actually, that..."

However, Doug was interrupted before he could finish speaking by a figure who appeared out of nowhere, wearing only underwear.

"Lisanna, Elfman, you're here! Come with me, I have a clue about the werewolf!" Gray shouted at the top of his lungs, standing naked on the road and directing everyone to hurry up and keep up with his speed.

Lisanna and Elfman were immediately distracted. Hearing about the werewolf clues, they abandoned their investigation of the orphanage and ran off with Gray. Doug frowned slightly behind them, a little worried, and followed.

"Gray, tell me quickly, what's the clue?" Lisanna couldn't contain her curiosity and asked Gray on the way.

"I just ran into a circus ringmaster, and he secretly told me that they have werewolves in their circus!" Gray puffed out his chest proudly, quite pleased with his ability to gather information.

"Oh, it's in the circus! It does look like a good hiding place. How come I didn't think of that!" Lisanna stomped her little feet in frustration.

Elfman, standing nearby, agreed and cast an admiring glance at Gray, making Gray even more smug.

Doug: [·_·?]...

"That circus manager is awful!" Gray stormed out of the circus tent, kicking pebbles at his feet and throwing a tantrum.

"Hmph! It's one thing if that werewolf was just a human actor, but the ringmaster still charged us for the full ticket price when the circus was almost over! That's outrageous!"

Gray grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he kept grumbling on and on the way.

"Are you an idiot? We just wanted to investigate werewolves, why did you have to take us to buy tickets?" Lisanna was so annoyed by Gray's antics that she couldn't help but complain.

When Gray arrived at the circus entrance, he didn't say a word, just grabbed the four of them and bought four circus tickets, each paying their own... Those three siblings were living on meager savings, and she wasted money watching only the end of the circus show! How infuriating!!

"Because it says at the entrance, 'If you want to find out the truth, buy a ticket and go in!'" Gray shouted confidently.

"You really are an idiot!" Lisanna couldn't help but roll her eyes, too lazy to bother with him.

"Huh? What did you say? You want to fight, you bastard!" Gray, with his short temper, couldn't tolerate anyone insulting his intelligence, so he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.

"Alright, let's fight then, who's afraid of who?" Lisanna agreed like a little wildcat, but then she turned around and pulled Elfman to her side, as if she wanted to fight him two against one.

"Lisanna, fighting is bad," Elfman weakly advised, but no one paid him any attention.

Doug: (ㅍ_ㅍ)...

What's wrong with all the kids around Eleven? Why are they all like Eleven? They all seem a bit dim-witted, like mute kids.
