Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Accompanied by wailing sounds, the Pixies that were hit turned into "cognitive energy" and scattered all over the ground.

"Wow~ Good job, kid~"

The Ghost Rider, who had already rushed back and forth, raised his right arm towards Emiya Shirou.

Shirou Emiya, who had a cold face when he just defeated the enemy, listened to the words of Ghost Rider with a helpless look on his face and raised his right hand to touch the opponent, but he still couldn't help complaining.

"Can't you just learn the Doctor's Persona?"

The aunt is the son of a rich man

In response to Emiya Shirou's complaints, Ghost Rider spread his hands.

"Sorry, that's just my personality~"

Faced with the 'Ghost Rider' who was clearly apologizing to him but had no sincerity at all, Shirou Emiya seemed quite helpless.

He was not dissatisfied with the Ghost Rider. After all, the other party was strong enough and cooperated very well with him. He could be said to be a perfect assistant. It would be better if his personality was better.

He didn't ask to be as respectful as Lan Ke, but at least he shouldn't call him "boy" all the time, which made it difficult for him to tell who was the master and who was the servant.

But just as the two were interacting, Lan Ke's call was heard.

“Rider!!”

“Here I come~!!”

"coming!!"

Shirou Emiya and Ghost Rider, who were originally "interacting", responded almost at the same time and walked straight towards Lan Ke.

While Shirou Emiya and Ghost Rider were working, Lan Ke was not idle either.

Perhaps because it is the 'Fairy Country', the shadows here are almost all races related to it.

There are "monsters" related to flowers, fruits and trees such as Pixie, Mandragora, Flower Soul, and Wood Spirit, but just now they encountered a "cat fairy".

This undoubtedly caught Lan Ke's attention.

It just so happened that the "Cat Fairy" was not included in Lan Ke's "Complete Book of Personality Masks", so Lan Ke chose to subdue it while "collecting protection fees" from it. In the process, he also inquired for some information.

"Just like Krupokru said, this area isn't under the control of Pixie or the Fairy Nation. Instead, it's under the control of the Great Fairy Puck. They're hostile to the Fairy Nation, but because the Great Fairy Puck is so powerful, the Fairy Nation generally doesn't operate around here."

As Lan Ke was explaining, Krupo Krupo, who was holding a leaf in his hand, also added a sentence.

"'Lord Parker' is the 'Fairy Lord' that our clan worships. If we want to expel those fairies, perhaps we can seek the help of 'Lord Parker'."

It is not known whether it is because Lan Ke's charm is too high, or simply because 'Krupo Kru' has a simple mind, but he accepted Lan Ke after just a while of getting along with him. At this time, he sat obediently on Lan Ke's shoulders, looking like a porcelain doll.

'Krupo Krupo' had not mentioned asking for help from the 'big goblin' before, and Lan Ke looked at him in surprise.

But if you think about it carefully, games are different from reality. Games require mechanisms, but in reality, as long as there are intelligent creatures, they can communicate and naturally cooperate with them.

"But will that 'Great Goblin Parker' cooperate with strangers like us?"

In response to this, 'Krupokru' shook his head helplessly.

"I don't know either, but I'll try my best!!"

Looking at 'Krupo Krupo' who had been cowering at first but now puffed out his chest, Lan Ke showed a rare serious expression.

"Although I don't know what that 'great demon' is like, we've been planning to conquer this 'hall' on our own from the beginning, so it doesn't matter if we don't have his help. If it's dangerous, there's no need to go."

In Lan Ke's opinion, cooperating with the 'big goblin' is similar to the 'side quest' in the game. After completing it, there will be NPCs to help, but it should not be part of the main storyline, which means it doesn't matter if you don't invite them.

In contrast, although they had not been together for a long time, 'Krupo Kru' had undoubtedly been regarded as one of his own, and he did not want the other party to be in danger.

Seeing Lan Ke, who always had a smile on her face since she was subdued, suddenly showing a serious expression, 'Krupo Krupo' couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but after a brief moment of nervousness, she smiled instead.

Because she could read Lan Ke's concern for her family from his nervous expression.

Thinking of this, she turned sideways and hugged Lan Ke's head with her small hands, which were not much bigger than Lan Ke's nose.

"Although 'Lord Parker' is merciless towards invaders, he is not a cruel lord. As long as we have no ill intentions, 'Lord Parker' will not harm us even if he is unwilling to help!"

Looking at the confident 'Krupo Krupo', Lan Ke considered it over and over again and decided to accept the other party's suggestion.

"In that case, please go and greet that 'Master Parker' first. Of course, if there is any risk, please retreat first!"

Looking at Lan Ke who was giving him instructions seriously, Krupo Krupo felt warm in his heart and nodded seriously.

"Master, please leave it to me!!"

The back of 'Krupo Krupo' gradually disappeared from his sight, and Lan Ke couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Looking at Lan Ke who looked like his daughter going to kindergarten for the first time, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but comfort her.

"Doctor, don't worry. If Krupo Krupo says so, she must be confident enough. We just need to wait for her good news."

Obviously, compared to Lan Ke who was worried and confused, Emiya Shirou could see that although 'Krupo Krupo' had a good relationship with Lan Ke, he was obviously not the type who liked adventure. Since the other party made the decision, he must have a certain degree of confidence. In addition, according to the testimony Lan Ke got from the 'Cat Fairy', the 'Big Fairy' did not like fighting, otherwise there would be no traces of fighting nearby.

( 1 xun ) ⑶

Of course, Shirou Emiya also knew that saying these words at this time would be of little use, so he just said a few simple words and then stood silently behind Lan Ke.

Time passed slowly and Lan Ke became more and more irritated, but fortunately, after about ten minutes, Lan Ke heard footsteps.

A while?

Lan Ke instinctively reached for the 'cane' at his waist.

Shirou Emiya, who had been silently watching Lan Ke's movements, also placed his hands on the quick-draw holster at his waist.

“Master~!!”

At this moment, accompanied by a cheerful call, a small figure ran out from between the shadows of the trees.

Following closely behind were several 'cat fairies' whose clothing was somewhat different from the previous 'cat fairies'.

Although their fur colors were not exactly the same, their attire was more sophisticated than that of the previous 'cat fairy', and they also looked more serious.

Lan Ke quickly squatted down to allow Krupo Krupo to run smoothly onto his shoulders.

Perhaps because he was too excited, without even waiting for Lan Ke to ask, 'Krupo Krupo' impatiently told Lan Ke what had just happened.

"Not long after I entered, I encountered a patrol team under Lord Parker. I told them that I wanted to meet Lord Parker, and they escorted me to Lord Parker."

At this point, 'Krupo Krupo' paused involuntarily.

Judging from his appearance, the negotiations should have gone smoothly, but even so, he was still a little nervous...

"It seems that 'Lord Parker' might be a very majestic person?"

Krupo Krupo, not knowing what Lan Ke was thinking, calmed down and spoke again.

"After learning that I was from the Krupokru clan, Lord Parker not only received me but also listened to my account of your situation. Lord Parker seemed willing to help, but there's still something he needs to confirm with you, so he asked me to come and pick you up."

Looking at Krupo Krupo who had a look of "I don't know how I did" on his face after he finished speaking, Lan Ke smiled and touched the other's little head.

“You did a great job~”

"Hey hey hey~~"

Although it was just a simple exaggeration, 'Krupo Krupo' still looked very happy.

But she didn't get too obsessed with it.

"Master, there's no time to lose. Let's go see 'Master Parker'!"

Listening to Krupo Krupo's words, Lan Ke felt that it was not right to keep the "big goblin" waiting for too long, so he nodded.

After Krupo Krupo signaled Lan Ke to put him down and spoke to the "cat fairies" who were serving as guards, they began to lead the way.

What surprised Lan Ke was that the territory of this "big fairy" seemed to be no different from the "Fairy Kingdom"?

But as more and more unarmed 'cat fairies' appeared, Lan Ke felt as if he had entered a world of 'Cat's Return'.

But just as Lan Ke was looking around, the 'escort' leading the way suddenly left.

Looking around where there were no buildings, Lan Ke was a little confused.

How is this going?

He couldn't help but look around.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed a cute gray and white kitten lying on a tree stump in the distance...

Chapter 82: It would be a shame not to pet such a great cat~

Lan Ke used to have little contact with animals due to work reasons, but after "traveling through time" and getting a "cat" as an assistant, Lan Ke also began to gradually study how to deal with cats.

So when he saw the cat lying on the tree stump in the sunlight, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind for some reason.

"It would be a shame not to pet such a wonderful cat~"

Seeing that the other party looks like a kitten, he should not be very sensible, right?

After you're done stroking it, just give it some dried fish, should that be enough?

Thinking of this, Lan Ke couldn't help but stretch out his right hand towards the other party.

What Lan Ke didn't expect was that when his hand was only halfway extended, it felt like it was underwater and filled with pressure.

Almost at the same time that Lan Ke's face changed drastically, the cute cat lying on the tree stump basking in the sun opened its right eye, revealing its emerald-like pupil.

At the same time, a crisp voice sounded in Lan Ke's ears.

"I know I'm full of charm, but you can't act rashly~"

Lan Ke realized instantly that the cute cat in front of him was actually the "Lord Parker" that "Krupo Krupo" had mentioned before.

The only thing he was thankful for now was that the cute cat in front of him who was licking his front paws was not angry. There was more of a teasing look in its emerald-like pupils, but no anger.

But Lan Ke was awkwardly standing there, not knowing whether he should step back or speak.

Fortunately, at this moment, a clear female voice suddenly sounded.

"Father! Since we're guests, why are you joking like that?! It'll scare them!!"

The cat, who originally had a teasing look on his face, was stunned when he heard the female voice, and then his face was instantly filled with smiles.

"It was just a joke. The customer won't be angry, right?"

Almost at the same time as Parker smiled, a silver-haired girl in a pure white dress walked over from a distance with a huff.

But with the other person's chubby face, it's not scary at all, but rather cute.

Looking at the smiling cat and the silver-haired girl who looked like she was giving a lecture, Lan Ke instantly conjured up the image of a 'serious daughter' and an 'unreliable old father' in his mind.

? 澪丿弍弍/⑶○乆叭

At this moment, Lan Ke was really curious about what would happen if he shook his head at this time?

But he is not a cat who likes to seek death, and reason drives him to nod decisively.

"Lord Parker is indeed a little unexpected, but now we are no longer nervous..."

Lan Ke's answer was obviously beyond Parker's expectations. He gave Lan Ke an expression that said "You are quite sensible boy".

Then he smiled again at the silver-haired girl in front of him.

"That's it, Emilia~"

The silver-haired girl called 'Emelia' looked at Lan Ke and Parker with some confusion, as if she was trying to figure out if the two were fooling her.

Finally, she nodded with satisfaction, accepting what Parker said.

Seeing this, Parker breathed a sigh of relief and slowly floated onto Emilia's shoulder.

"Son of Man, the 'Krupokru' have also told me the purpose of your visit, but I still hope to hear it from you in person."

Although it was still in the shape of a kitten and had a smile on its face, as 'Parker' spoke, the air around it seemed to freeze for some reason.

Lan Ke now seemed to understand why 'Krupo Kru' had been so fearful before.

What she feared was not the other person's appearance, but the real monster inside that seemed like a real monster under the seemingly cute appearance.

But Lan Ke smiled instead. After all, from a certain perspective, this made him feel more comfortable.

After all, he is actually better at communicating with 'monsters'.

"As it should be."

The difference between the 'material world' and the 'cognitive world' is too complicated, so Lan Ke simply simplified it.

However, the key information was not missing at all, such as "Count Mezas" tried to take away Shirou Emiya's sister for the so-called "ritual", and Lan Ke and others came to this "Fairy Country" to try to stop him. During this process, "Krupo Krupo" became a companion of Lan Ke and others, and Lan Ke also learned of the existence of "Parker".
