Outside the main entrance of Woodleaf Village, Sixteen Nights, Yuan Fei, Asama, and Qimu Liuli were resting on the spot. Each of them carried a backpack on their backs, looking like they were on a long journey.
" I'm really sorry. I just bumped into an old lady who was staggering and carrying bags, so..." The native student who was often late was gloriously late again, but he couldn't continue before he finished explaining the reason.
The three people in front of him were Sixteen Nights, who was holding his cigarette in his mouth and studying the route with a serious expression on his face. At this moment, Asma was checking her luggage under Sixteen Nights 'suggestion. As usual, Qimu Liuli was sitting cross-legged on the ground with Hanguang on her knees.
I was ignored…orz
"Let's wait for a while. The client hasn't arrived yet.”Sixteen Nights raised her head and ordered.
"I see." Dai Tu instantly understood. Thinking of the client he met when he applied for the mission yesterday, Dai Tu's head was full of black lines. Speaking of which, it was really an incredible existence. This was what the entire team, including Azurite Hatake and Sixteen Nights, agreed with.
"Liuli, can you train chakras by sitting like this all day?”Since he was bored, he started to look for topics to talk about.
"Who knows?" Feeling that it was about time, Azurite put Hanguang back on her back, stood up, patted her butt, and smiled at the soil."" The effect isn't that great. The chakra's growth rate is about three times that of yours…"
"…I don't know why, but I have a feeling that you're looking for trouble.”The veins on Dai Tu's head popped as he said in a low voice.
"Ah! Is that so?" Hatake Ruri looked at Uchiha with an innocent face, then said with a serious face,""Congratulations, you got it right!" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, as if he wanted to shake hands with Dai Tu.
…………
…………
"Wow! You've successfully angered me! Then I'll let you see the results of my special training!”Uchiha rolled up his sleeves and was about to attack.
"You're really generous." Qimu Liuli didn't say anything, but her smile grew wider.
" You two better behave yourselves…" Sixteen Nights used her body to separate the two of them as if she had a headache. Seriously, kids nowadays were not cute at all.
"Humph!" Turning around, Dai Tu suddenly saw that Asma was still silently checking her bag, as if she did not feel anything about what had just happened.
He pointed at Asma in surprise and asked Sixteen Nights,""Teacher, is Asma alright?”
Sixteen Nights looked at Asma and sighed.""It's nothing. It's just that the pressure is a little too great.”As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Azurite, who was standing at the side. He would probably carry out his plan after he returned from this mission.
Just as everyone was doing nothing, Qimu Liuli suddenly noticed a figure in the distance. That person was running towards the door in a hurry.
"It's here. That top-grade item." Ruri felt a dull pain in her head.
"Ha ~~~ I'm really sorry, Teacher Sixteen Nights.”
It was a woman with short red hair. She was dressed in ordinary clothes and had a scarf on her head to protect her hair. She had exquisite facial features and was a living beauty. However, the OK bandage on her nose slightly ruined her image.
"It's nothing, Miss Nanako." "If there's nothing else, let's set off."”
"Hi ~" Nanako agreed with a smile.
At the same time, Qimu Liuli and the other two counted silently in their hearts.
“1~2~3！”
"Bang!" Nanako fell onto the ground on the flat road.
Qimu Liuli and the others were speechless.
"Oh ~~" With tears in her eyes, Nanako tried her best to put on a smile.
"Nanako has embarrassed herself again…"
———————————————————————————————
The sun had lost its vitality at noon. At this moment, it was a little disinterested. Qimu Liuli and the others were still a little distance away from the campsite.
The Sixteenth Nights team's mission was to protect Mizuki Nanako to a place called Oshima River at the border of the Country of Fire. It was defined as a C-rank mission.
"Teacher, what kind of place is Oshima River?”Azurite looked curiously at the map in her hand. The Oshima River on the map was surrounded by water on three sides. The most unbelievable thing was that there was no buffer zone for small countries. It directly bordered the Water Country. Azurite could not help but ask Sixteen Nights.
The other Asma and Dearthy also pricked up their ears.
"Oh, Oshima River ~" Sixteen Nights lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. She began to explain to the three students,""Oshima River is located at the southeastern border of the Fire Country, bordering the Water Country. Although it is nominally the Fire Country's territory, it is actually a no-man's land.”
"Aren't there some small countries between the five big countries? Why was the Oshima River connected to the Water Country?”Azurite looked at the map and asked.
" This..." Sixteen Nights looked hesitantly at Mizuki Nanako, who was walking in the middle of the group.
" In fact, Oshima River used to be a country, but it was destroyed not long ago…" Nanako smiled and explained on behalf of Sixteen Nights. However, her smile was filled with bitterness.
"Destroy a country? "Could it be that Mizuki is…" Asma looked at Nanako in surprise.
"You should call me Nanako O'Asma-kun…" Nanako corrected Asima-kun's form of address with dissatisfaction, then put on her usual silly smile and said,"I'm not sure.""That's right, Nanako was also a citizen of this country.”
"Nanako, what was this country called before?”At this moment, Dai Tu had tied a steel wire to Kunai's tail and was practicing throwing Kunai. He used the steel wire to retrieve the Kunai from the tree and asked casually.
" This country is…" As if she was thinking of her own country, the silly smile on Nanako's face, which was always full of smiles, slowly turned into confusion and nostalgia."Our country's original name was Whirlpool Nation.”
"..." Sixteen Nights was deep in thought.
"..." Asma, with dirt.
“!”Flagwood Glaze.
" Our village is the famous Longevity Village…" Nanako seemed to be lost in her memories as she continued to speak. As she recalled, a smile appeared on her face again, but this time, it was filled with pride.
" Because the country is surrounded by water on three sides, there are countless vortexes in the sea around the country, hence the name of the Vortex Country. During the annual Vortex Festival, the vortexes on the sea surface will be connected, and the largest vortex in the world will appear in the sea in the southeast direction. The vortex will even see the bottom of the sea.”Two streams of tears had already flowed down Nanako's face, but she did not care. She continued to speak in a choked voice,"" Looking at the Whirlpool Country from above, the whirlpools are like pearl necklaces worn on the Whirlpool Country. The elders in the village call it Ocean Blue, and the largest whirlpool above Ocean Blue is called Ocean Blue's Heart. The prophecy said that it had the power to grant wishes!”As she spoke, Nanako unconsciously wrapped her arms around herself and closed her eyes. It was as if she could hold Ocean Blue in her arms and regain the aura of her hometown.
"I'm really sorry for bringing up your memories.”Sixteen Nights handed him a handkerchief and sighed.
" N-nothing…" Nanako, who had suddenly woken up, blushed and hurriedly said,""Yes…Nanako has embarrassed herself again…"
"No, Nanako's feelings for her hometown are really enviable.”Dai Tu quickly comforted him.
"Missing your hometown is not a shameful thing.”Asma said with certainty.
"The sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world.”Qimu Liuli's eyes were a little lost. She felt like she was in the same boat. Ever since she had transmigrated, she had thought that she had completely adapted to it. However, she now realized that her hometown was still the same Earth that she had lived on for 18 years. It had never changed.
"Liuli Sang is really surprising!~~”Nanako looked at Azurite in surprise and revealed that silly expression again.""If Liu Liusang becomes a boy, he will definitely be very popular!”
…………
"Oh…thank you for the compliment. Sometimes I think so too.”Ruri's melancholy was washed away by Nanako's words, especially when she heard " If Ruri-san is a boy...". Ruri felt tears welling up in her heart!! Who do you think wants to be a girl?!
"Eh?" As if he had thought of something, his muddy eyes suddenly lit up. He secretly pulled Asma to the side and forced the unwilling Asma to lean her ear closer.
“…………”
“!”It was unknown what Dai Tu said to Asma, but Asma looked at Dai Tu with a dazed expression.
"Trust me!" Dai Tu had a serious expression, as if he was about to enter the battlefield. Seeing that Asma was still looking at him like he was an idiot, Dai Tu flew into a rage out of humiliation.
"..." It was unknown what Dai Tu thought of again, but he continued to whisper into Asma's ear.
“？”This time, Asma didn't look at the soil as if she was looking at an idiot. She just lowered her head and pondered. Suddenly, Asma paused for a moment, and then her entire body began to break out in cold sweat.
"The two of you…have such a tacit understanding that you've suffered a stroke together?”Feeling an ominous black cloud on the two people behind her, Qimu Liuli asked in puzzlement.
" Nothing…I was just saying that the color of the sunset is really beautiful…" Dai Tu revealed two rows of big teeth and changed the topic with a smile.
"No…that's right, you really have good taste! "With soil…haha…" Asma laughed, obviously trying to hide her laughter.
Only Nanako believed it and kept looking at the sunset.
"If I stay with these two idiots for too long, my intelligence will be affected sooner or later.”Qimu Liuli didn't say a word. She turned around and thought with her mouth twitching.
" It's rare to see such harmony…" Sixteen Nights did not say anything. She only sighed when she saw Asma and Dearu continuing their private chat. How relaxed would it be if the atmosphere was like this every day?~~~ Sixteen Nights stretched her body and sighed at the passing of time…
