"Sandora? Oh, it was that little girl from back then. Not bad, she was already a class dominator at the age of eleven.”
Xiao Tian remembered that when he had visited Salamander with the White Yaksha more than ten years ago, there had been a little girl beside Old Chief Victor. She had been wearing a little dress and following her father around. When she saw Xiao Tian, she had hugged him and called him Onii-chan. They had joked that since Sandora liked him so much, she might as well become his wife in the future. They had laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.
"Yes…that's right…! But…she was only eleven!”
"Aiya? Little Brother Ren, you became our leader at the age of eleven?”
"Uh, this..."
"Then, White Yaksha, what do you want us to do?”
" Actually, this Birth Ceremony is also a public tribute to Sandora, the next ruler of the North Borough. However, because she is still young, she came to ask me, the ruler of the East District, to be the co-organizer.”
"I see. Some organizations are hostile to young people in power or something?”
Sixteen Nights answered the question.
"Alright, we agree to this matter. Take us to the North District immediately!”
If he continued to waste time here, he would definitely be discovered by the black rabbit. Then, he would be brought back for a day and night of education.
"Alright, I'll take you to the northern district now.”
Then the white yaksha clapped twice and said that they had arrived. We couldn't believe it. We opened the door and found that the scene outside had changed.
A town made of red walls, flames, and…glass? That's right, the huge red wall that separated the eastern and northern regions was the realm wall. There was also a monument carved from the ore excavated from the boundary wall, the vault of a group of Gothic spires that seemed to be built from the back of the boundary wall, and the two outer doors that stood on the outer wall merged into a huge triumphal arch. Even though it was far away, the corridor decorated with colorful carved glass could still be clearly seen. Asuka's eyes lit up with excitement. Even though it was still daytime, the entire town was still in a color reminiscent of dusk. This was not only because of the town's decorations, but also because many huge chandeliers were illuminating the area covered by the shadow of the realm wall with warm red flames. This was the North District's City of Blazing Flames!
"Wow, so powerful!"
"Oh…as expected of a place 980,000 kilometers away. It's quite different from East Borough's culture. He did not expect to see such a whimsical thing with his own eyes one day!”
"Then let's go down quickly! I really want to see that glass corridor! Is that okay, White Yaksha?"
Looking at the scene below, Flying Bird couldn't wait to go down and take a look.
"Yes, no problem. We'll talk about the rest tonight.。。”
Before White Yaksha could finish, a voice came from behind.
"I finally found it!”
That's right, this voice was their companion, the black rabbit that had crossed 980,000 kilometers to chase after them.
She shouted from the huge clock tower in the distance and jumped with all her strength. In an instant, she arrived in front of everyone.
"Hmph…hmph…hmph…I finally found you, problematic children!”
The black rabbit's light red hair was in a state of anger, and its entire body was constantly emitting anger. Its angry appearance was not so much a descendant of Sakra, but more like the incarnation of the demon king. Among the problem children who sensed their own danger, the first to make a move were Sixteen Nights and Xiao Tian.
"Everyone, run!"
"Don't even think about escaping!"
"Eh? Wait…"
Xiao Tian quickly picked up Flying Bird beside him and jumped down from the observatory with Sixteen Nights. Yao created a whirlwind and tried to escape to the sky, but he was a few steps too slow. The black rabbit jumped up and grabbed Yao's boots.
"Waah…Waah…!"
"Miss Yao, I've caught you! I definitely won't let you escape again!"
The black rabbit's smile didn't seem right. She pulled Yao over and hugged him tightly. She whispered into Yao's ear,
"There will be a full lecture later. Huhuhu, please be mentally prepared in advance!”
"Understood."
Hearing the intermittent tone that did not allow any rebuttal, Yao could only nod timidly. This was probably because her wild intuition told her that the black rabbit was more violent than usual today. After landing, the black rabbit threw Yao at the white yaksha. Yao and White Yaksha, who were spinning three and a half times in the air and flying out, screamed.
"Ah!"
"Woo! Hey…hey! Black Rabbit! Don't you think you've been lacking in manners recently?”
"Miss Yao, I'll have to trouble you! Because they had to capture other problematic children!”
The black rabbit ignored the white yaksha's words and shouted. Even the white yaksha was defeated by her aura and could only nod obediently.
"Oh…is…is that so? Although I don't know what happened, you can do your best, Black Rabbit.”
"Good!"
The black rabbit jumped off the observatory and ran forward.
In a corner of the glass corridor, Xiao Tian and Flying Bird hid in a corner between a shop and another shop to avoid the black rabbit's pursuit.
"How did it go?"
"Yes, it should be fine. We can go out now.”
"I didn't expect to be caught up so quickly.”
"As the bait responsible for fanning the flames for the black rabbit, I didn't expect this effect.。。It's really too effective!"
"Alright, let's go shopping. Are you willing to be my escort, Xiao Tian?”
"I'm happy to accompany you, Your Highness." Xiao Tian gave Flying Bird a knight's salute, then held Flying Bird's hand and walked to the street.
After confirming that it was safe, Flying Bird returned to the main road and turned around with small steps, letting the hem of her dress flutter.
The Thousand Eyes branch.
"I see. So the reason why the black rabbit is so angry is because of that letter that kid wrote, saying that he would leave the community if he couldn't find you. As expected, this is his personality. However, don't you think that leaving the community is a bit too much of a joke?”
"Y-you're right."
"Forget it, just treat this as a lesson. There's a competition I hope you can participate in.”
"Competition?"
"Yes, this is it."
The white yaksha took out the list from the sleeve of her kimono and handed it to her.
[Gift Game Name: 'The Duel of the Creators]

Thousand Eyes Seal
'Salamandra'.
" Creation Gift?"
"That's right. It refers to the gifts created by the creator. It can be man-made, spiritual, divine, or astral. In order to withstand the harsh environment, the North Borough placed great importance on creative gifts that could be used for a long time. They often held games to compete for the technical and artistic aspects of these gifts. And the gift you received from your father, the Life Catalog, is excellent in both technical and artistic aspects. It's even hard to believe that it came from the hands of humans. Although it was not a bad idea to participate in the exhibition, unfortunately, the registration time had already ended. However, if it's the 'grace' that resides in that wooden carving, I think you can even win in a game that tests your strength.”
"Alright, I agree."
"Alright, I'll report your information later.”
"Yes, thank you."
The glass corridor.
It had been several hours since the two of them had started strolling. It was almost an hour after noon. Flying Bird came to the center of the corridor decorated with red bricks and carved glass, and sat in front of a monument carved with dragons to rest. She wasn't tired. She just wanted to relax and observe the town.
"Hmm? Salamander, the first leader of the community, was carved from a large crystal of obsidian. The creator was Sarah? Oh, so it was Sandora's older sister who made it. Not bad.”
Flying Bird looked at Sixteen Nights 'side profile in disbelief and said abruptly,"
"I've always wanted to ask…why are you so knowledgeable?”
"That's not the case. Rather than saying that I'm knowledgeable, it's more like I'm knowledgeable. After all, this is something I've accumulated in the Sandbox Court for a thousand years…Oh? There was a walking candlestick and a flying lantern!”
The bird became very excited when it found the candlestick that could walk on two feet and the flying lantern.
"Candlesticks that walk on two feet and lanterns that fly in the air…then are there pumpkin monsters? That's a monster that appears during a festival called Wan something. Have you heard of it, Xiao Tian?”
"Ah?"
Hearing Flying Bird's abrupt words, Sixteen Nights stopped in her tracks and widened her eyes.
"Hey, hey, young miss, you don't know anything about the world. Pumpkin Monster was referring to Jack O 'Lanterns, right? In this era, you should at least understand the meaning of the word 'hallowen'. Ah, right ~ Missy, you seem to be from the post-war era?”
Xiao Tian turned his upper body around and asked.
It was only after the 1990s that it became widely known in Japan. Even if they looked back, the earliest was after the 1980s. It was only natural that Asuka, who had come here not long after the war, had a gap in knowledge.
To Flying Bird, Sixteen Nights was a person from the future. Sixteen Nights, who had come to this place in an era where communication with the overseas had been established and information was obtained in a rich way, should be a knowledgeable youth in the eyes of Asuka.
From Sixteen Nights 'gaze, Flying Bird could guess the situation.
"Is that so…in your era, is halloween not a rare thing anymore?”
"Yes, Miss, do you like festive events like Valentine's Day?”
"I can't say that I like it. It's just that when I heard about this festival when I was young…I thought it was a really wonderful event.”
The bird looked up at the sky and narrowed its eyes as if it was looking into the distance.
She had a self-deprecating smile on her face.
"The place I used to live in was really boring. Although the identity of the young mistress of a financial group sounded very impressive…but my most important parents were no longer around. In addition, I was born with the power to manipulate people's hearts, which was why I was locked up in a dormitory school in a form similar to isolation.”
"Oh? That's really not your style. Why don't you just run away as soon as possible?”
"Yes, you're right! If I hadn't received that invitation, I planned to take the opportunity to run away from home. My destination is…Oh right, to celebrate the end of the war, I might have already gone to experience the halloween that I just mentioned.”
Flying Bird stood in the middle of the corridor, revealing a comical smile. Xiao Tian could feel the sadness in her eyes. Under the surface of their boring and dull lives, everyone should be hiding a strong longing for the outside world and culture.
"Trick or treat, isn't that a good slogan?”
"Do you want to put a pumpkin on your head?”
"Alright, alright! However, right, it should be good for me to dress up as a witch now. Don't you think it's very suitable?”
"Yes, with your gift, being a Demoness is indeed very suitable for you.”
"You brat, you deserve a beating, right?!"
"Uh ~~ I'm sorry."
"Forget it. I…It's great that I'm able to come to the Sandbox Court. After all, I've come to such a wonderful place. Although I couldn't experience the legendary halloween…compared to being raised in my hometown and waiting to die, staying here made me look forward to tomorrow more.”
"Is that so? That's great, but if we don't leave now, the black rabbit will definitely find us.”
"Oh right, let's go."
"Oh right, Miss, did you know that Valentine was originally a harvest festival?”
Eh? The sudden question stunned Flying Bird. Xiao Tian continued,"
"By the way, there's a huge farm behind the 'No Name' base. If we can revive that land, I think it will be very helpful to the community…What do you think?”
"Yes, I know about that too. With your strength, you should be able to restore that piece of land, right?”
Asuka had just discussed with Yao and Lily this morning about building a farm to help the community revive. However, she could not understand the purpose of Xiao Tian's question. She could only tilt her head and respond with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Tian grinned and placed his face in front of the bird.
"After Tan Nong Garden is resurrected…let's find a day to hold our own Valentine's Day. What do you think of this proposal, Miss?”
"You want to go to the festival, don't you?" Xiao Tian said with a smile.
Xiao Tian's " our halloween " only meant one thing-to play, and to play with people who would die.
"Does this mean that our community…will be hosting the Gifts Game on Valentine's Day?”
"Well, since we're going to live in Sandcourt, we'll have to experience the 'host' position.”
Xiao Tian's suggestion made Flying Bird's eyes light up. She put her hands together and sighed in agreement.
"This proposal is great! That way, he could help the community, and it would be very interesting!”
"Haha, Young Miss is indeed very sensible! Then let's make an appointment that the first Gifted Game that we hold as the 'organizer' will be on Valentine's Day. Also, he had to think about how he should plan.”
Flying Bird nodded vigorously. Her eyes were filled with passion, unlike her usual behavior.
Asuka smiled shyly as she imagined how she would look like when she hosted the event in the future. She murmured in intoxication,
"We're hosting the festival, huh…Hehe, in order to hold the Harvest Festival, we must first revive the farmlands.”
"Of course. Moreover, this proposal can also repay the favor you owe the white yaksha. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.”
"Aiya? Forget about the black rabbit, why could he repay the white yaksha?”
"Hmm? Oh, halloween was originally a harvest festival to express gratitude to the sun. This was originally a festival of the Celts--oh, forget it, that part wasn't important. Although the gist was a little different, she probably wouldn't mind this kind of thing.”
"Is that so?" Flying Bird replied. Although she couldn't understand it, since it was a ceremony to thank the sun, it was naturally the most suitable way to express gratitude. Moreover, it was not just them. The black rabbit and the others seemed to have received a lot of care from the white yaksha. In that case, if not for the white yaksha, they might not have come to the Box Court at all.
There were countless reasons to thank the black rabbit and the white yaksha. Flying Bird smiled in agreement.
"Yes, in order to return the favor one day, my goal is to become a 'host' who is qualified to entertain the White Yaksha.”
"That being said, it's impossible to do it now. First of all, he had to win in all kinds of games.”
"Of course. This was such a large-scale ceremony, so there should be a game that could give him great gifts.”
“YES! The festival is now holding two games to compete for the "Gift of Creation"!”
"Creation department? Do you want to do something?"
"Yes, I am! For example, Miss Yao's Life Catalog was one of them! Regardless of whether it was man-made, spirit made, divine made, or star made, as long as one had the gifts of the creation system, they could participate in the game!”
"Oh? Although he didn't know the situation, could he obtain a great gift?”
"Of course! Since he could receive a gift directly from the new class dominator, Sandora, it would definitely be a great prize!”
"Is that so? Should I contact Kasugami-san and invite her to participate? I'll have to trouble you to pass on the message, Black Rabbit."
“YES! Please leave it to him, then the two of you! He will go over now, and the two of you will, of course, surrender obediently, right?”
The black rabbit asked with an imposing smile. The two of them immediately replied,
"No!"
