Chapter 625
That is the Boundary Wall!
On the Boundary Wall, one can clearly see the stone monuments carved into it, and behind the Boundary Wall, a group of Gothic spires and arches were built! They give way to two outer gates standing on the outer wall, which close together to form a triumphal Triumphal Arch that looks very sacred.
Despite it being daytime, the entire town was unexpectedly bathed in the warm colors of a sunset. The decorations that exuded these cozy hues were not only the town's ornaments, but also many enormous crystal chandeliers that illuminated the town's shadowy areas with their red glow.
And the Asuka's eyes sparkled with excitement.
My gaze fell directly on the corridor decorated with brightly colored carved glass.
Seeing the brand-new cultural town style before her, Luo Mio smiled slightly.
Even for him, this was the first time he had ever seen a town with such a unique cultural style, filled with the warm red hues of sunset.
Looking at the colorful, brightly colored, carved glass-decorated corridor filled with a dreamlike atmosphere, Luo Mio murmured to herself.
'Looks like I should bring Tia here sometime... it could be a perfect date.'
And at that very moment—
"I finally found it! Aa..."
A chilling voice, as if Evil Spirit had descended, suddenly rang out in the sky behind them.
Then—
"Boom--!"
A massive explosion and dust erupted immediately.
Amidst the dust, the Black Rabbit, radiating an exceptionally terrifying Spiritual Pressure, stared intently at the crowd with its incredibly powerful red eyes.
Her long hair, which had turned pinkish-cherry blossom color due to her emotions, swayed like conscious tentacles under the influence of Spiritual Pressure.
With a cold smile that conveyed absolutely no hint of amusement, he stared directly at Izayoi and the other two Problem Children.
"Hmph hmph hmph hmph~~~~~~~~~ I've finally found you, you Problem Children!"
The moment he noticed the Black Rabbit's appearance, Izayoi scooped Asuka into his arms, gave her a Princess carry, and jumped off the Observation Deck, escaping at lightning speed.
"Run!"
Yao, who also sensed the danger, attempted to escape using the ability to run in the sky that he had obtained from Skoll.
But in the next instant, Luo Mio raised one of her crossed hands slightly.
Then an invisible Spatial Restraint appeared on Yao's feet.
"Huh?"
Yao was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what was going on, he immediately understood that it was Luo Mio who had done it.
The next second, Black Rabbit appeared in front of her and gently placed her hand on Yao's shoulder.
"!"
His shoulders trembled instantly, his lips twitched slightly, and a chilling sensation suddenly ran down Yao's back.
"..."
"Hehehe... I'm going to have to give you a good talking-to later, so please be prepared, Miss Yao."
A bead of sweat slowly trickled down his cheek. He swallowed hard and nodded timidly.
"I... I understand."
Then Black Rabbit looked at Luo Mio and spoke to her with extraordinary power.
"Then, I'll go arrest the other two Problem Children!"
"Yes, have a safe trip."
Luo Mio smiled slightly and then waved to the Black Rabbit.
Watching the Black Rabbit's departing figure, Luo Mio slowly shifted her gaze to Yao.
Yao pouted adorably, and when she saw Luo Mio looking at her, she said in a huff.
"Traitor."
Seeing Yao's adorable sulking expression, Luo Mio chuckled. She then came to Yao's side, gently patted his head, and released the Spatial Restraint on Yao's body, speaking softly and affectionately.
"Okay, I know I was wrong, but no matter how angry I am, if I keep letting Black Rabbit stay angry, aren't you actually very reluctant and uncomfortable inside? You really want to make up with Black Rabbit, right?"
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Yao lowered his head slightly.
Yao actually agreed with Luo Mio's words.
She really didn't want Black Rabbit to continue being angry with her.
Looking at Yao's youthful yet somewhat handsome face, Luo Mio reached out and pinched it.
"Okay, as compensation, what do you want? Just once, anything is fine, I'll do whatever you say."
"Really?"
Yao raised his eyes and looked at Luo Mio.
Luo Mio nodded.
"Yes, really."
After comforting Yao, she was taken away by the White Night Dragon, who said he wanted her to participate in a Gift Game and find out what had happened.
Then Luo Mio chuckled and said.
"Alright, now that you've all come along, are you still going to hide?"
Emerging from the shadows, Leticia and Lily walked together from the direction of 'Thousand Eyes' and came to the Observation Deck.
Ren also showed a surprised expression when he saw Leticia and Lily.
"Leticia, Lily?!"
He wasn't particularly surprised to see Black Rabbit appear; after all, as Hakoniwa Noble, Black Rabbit could use the Boundary Gate to travel here. But Leticia and Lily...
Luo Mio smiled knowingly.
White Night Dragon Luo Mio was so intrigued by the Spatial Construction System, which resembled a 'Boundary Gate', that he didn't react immediately.
However, Luo Mio only realized what was happening when the Black Rabbit appeared.
Two familiar presences were unexpectedly spotted in the 'Thousand Eyes' shop.
It seems that Leticia, Lily, and Black Rabbit acted separately.
Black Rabbit headed towards the outer gate, while Leticia and Lily went into the 'Thousand Eyes' shop.
Together with Luo Mio and Izayoi, they arrived at the Little Garden Outer Gate, number 54545.
Looking at Luo Mio, Leticia also showed a helpless expression.
"I knew it, Master, you wouldn't stop Izayoi, Asuka, and Yoh."
Touching her nose, Luo Mio shrugged and smiled.
"Well, after a month of boredom at 'No Name,' the Gift Game at the outer gate of the Little Garden 2105380 are all boring, uninteresting, and meaningless matches."
"It's rare to have such a fun and large-scale festival, but it would be a shame to just come and see it."
Seeing the mischievous smile on Luo Mio's face, which was no less than that of Problem Children, Leticia also sighed softly.
Looking at the town of 'Salamandra', Luo Mio suddenly chuckled and said to Leticia.
"How about it, Leticia? Would you like to show me around sometime? It's my first time visiting a town in the North District."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Leticia was slightly taken aback, but then immediately reacted, and a very gentle smile appeared on the loli's cute face.
"With utmost pleasure, my lord."
Chapter Twenty-Two: The Attack! (12400/10000 words)
Luo Mio and Leticia walked together on the road in the Crimson Town.
During her journey, Luo Mio also saw races rarely seen in the East District, such as the Demon Kind and the Elf.
The Demon Kind here are mostly demons, ghosts, or vampires.
However, what Luo Mio found particularly interesting was the unique sky and climate of 'Salamandra', which resembled a twilight sunset during the day.
Since this place is located in the north, it is only natural that the climate should be somewhat different.
Leticia, as if knowing what Luo Mio was thinking, chuckled and said to Luo Mio.
"Master, the scenery inside the town of 'Salamandra' is completely different from the world outside the outer gate over there!"
"The outside world is a cold, Shirayuki. The reason why the town of 'Salamandra' can remain like this is entirely due to the huge barrier of the Little Garden City and the numerous lights, which allows it to maintain this Eternal Autumn scene."
Upon hearing Leticia's words, Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly.
"It's really interesting that it has been able to develop to this point under such harsh and difficult conditions."
On the way, Luo Mio even saw a walking candlestick.
Looking at the completely different cultural style in front of her, Luo Mio let out a soft shout of surprise and curiosity.
"Hey~"
"Although I already knew about the cultural differences when I saw it from the observation deck, it was still quite surprising to see it up close like this."
Seeing Luo Mio Ling looking around with curiosity, Leticia beside her let out a clear, amused laugh.
Hearing Leticia's clear and melodious laughter, Luo Mio turned her face, her azure eyes looking at her, and said to Leticia in an annoyed tone.
"What? Do you think my appearance is that funny?"
Leticia also put her hand to her mouth, then a funny expression appeared on her cute little face. She shook her head, her eyes filled with a deep smile, and the corners of her mouth curled up as she looked at Luo Mio.
"No, no, no, I was just thinking that I never expected that my master, who exists in this way, would also have such a... cough cough, curious side about the unknown."
Hearing Leticia's sarcastic and mocking tone, and seeing her incredibly cute little girl face, Luo Mio was both angry and amused, and said in a rather irritable tone.
"What? After spending a month with me, you dare to joke about your master?"
Leticia simply tilted her head and smiled gently in response.
"Whee."
Perhaps it's because deep in her mind lies a memory of Luo Mio, and because she spent a month with Luo Mio, Leticia is probably one of the people who understands Luo Mio the most among Luo Mio's lovers, relatives, and friends.
Seeing the smile on Leticia's face, Luo Mio shook her head helplessly.
Then, raising her eyes to look at the town of 'Salamandra', Luo Mio looked at Leticia and asked with a light laugh.
So where do we go next?
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Leticia also looked around.
Then he paused for a moment.
"If we go to the Foot of the Boundary Wall now, where there are many exhibits, it will be very crowded, so going now would be a waste of time viewing the exhibits, so..."
Recalling Luo Mio's memories, Leticia raised her blood-red eyes and looked in a certain direction on the street, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Let's go over there."
Led by Leticia, Luo Mio also arrived at a food street where food was sold everywhere.
Upon seeing the food street, Luo Mio chuckled and then reached out to flick her nose.
Nowadays, the only thing he can enjoy is tasting delicious food.
Walking along the food street, Luo Mio and Leticia were each holding a different kind of food.
Tasting the completely different cuisine in her hand, Luo Mio nodded.
"That's right, that's right. Different cultural styles do indeed lead to different origins in the taste of food."
While enjoying her food, Luo Mio also glanced at Leticia beside her.
In her hands were two fragrant crepes.
One of the crepes had already been half-eaten by Leticia.
Noticing Luo Mio's gaze, Leticia turned to look at Luo Mio, her lips smeared with crepe sauce. Combined with Leticia's adorable face, she looked incredibly cute.
Luo Mio chuckled and gestured to the crumbs on the corner of her mouth.
