"Um...What's wrong with Black Rabbit?"
Looking at Black Rabbit leaving in a flurry, Arthas asked this somewhat strangely.
"Ah...It's nothing big. It's just that Izayoi and the others have caused some trouble again."
"Is that so? It seems that Black Rabbit has had a hard time while I was gone."
Arthas nodded with a deep feeling, while Leticia showed a somewhat wry smile.
Izayoi and the others seemed to have made teasing Black Rabbit a habit. Leticia was also very helpless about this and didn't know what to say.
"This is the North District? It seems to have a very different cultural style from the East District."
Arthas said this, and Ophis next to him widened her eyes, curiously looking at everything she had never seen before.
"You're already surprised by this? You need to know that there are still many things in this Little Garden that can surprise you."
Looking at Ophis's appearance, Arthas said this with some amusement, and then the group walked towards the town not far away.
Candlesticks made of glass that could walk. Not only Ophis, but even Arthas had never seen many things here.
Originally, Leticia was planning to be a guide, but it seemed that Nezha was more familiar with this place than her. It seemed that her saying that she had attended the Fire Dragon Festival every year wasn't just for show, but was true.
"Because the world outside that outer gate is a pure white snowfield, the North District relies entirely on the Little Garden city's huge barrier and many lights to maintain this eternal autumn scenery."
Although Nezha seemed to be very familiar with this place, it seemed that Arthas and Ophis still didn't know anything, so Leticia was still very responsible in explaining it to them.
"Oh, so it developed this way because of the harsh environment?"
"That's right. That's why the residents of the North District are very hardworking and diligent. Without their labor and wisdom, the North District wouldn't have become like this."
"Arthas-sama, and you two, please let me take you around. This North District festival."
"Well, then I'll trouble you."
Nezha nodded reservedly, and then the group quickly headed towards the glass corridor.
At the same time, at the northeast boundary wall, in the free area, the commercial district.
In the red-windowed corridor decorated with red bricks and carved glass, Izayoi and his group, who had arrived first and had been wandering around for several hours, were walking along the corridor across the entire commercial district.
"This place is so beautiful. My hometown doesn't have a place like this."
Asuka, wearing a red dress, was completely integrated into this dim glass corridor, which was illuminated by candlelight and glass, reflecting colorful light.
"It's called the Red Corridor? It looks like a shopping street. Are there any specialties or limited edition products worth exploring?"
Izayoi, his eyes dyed red by the candlelight, scanned the shops on both sides, looking quite happy.
"Although I haven't been here for three years, this place hasn't changed much."
Jin, who had been here before, was very familiar with the environment. During the previous sightseeing, they had introduced many places.
"Eh? What is this..." In the center of the corridor, a huge dragon sculpture caught everyone's eyes. It was a dragon monument made of huge emerald green glass. Seeing this sculpture, Izayoi hugged his chest and studied it, walking around it.
"This is the first leader of 'Salamandra', the Star Sea Dragon King-sama. It was made by Sara-sama."
"Sara?" Asuka couldn't help but be curious about the name Jin mentioned.
"Yes, Sara-sama is the eldest daughter of the previous leader. I originally thought that either she or Mandala-sama would inherit this time, but I didn't expect it to fall on Sandora."
"Oh? So, this time they skipped the eldest daughter and the second son and directly let the youngest daughter inherit?"
"Yes. With Sara-sama's power, she would definitely be able to serve as the Floor Master of the North District, but Sandora..."
Just as Jin was pondering this, Izayoi suddenly said quietly in a tone of admiration.
"The first leader, 'Star Sea Dragon King'-sama, is carved from a large crystal of obsidian. The meaning of obsidian...Hey! Doesn't that mean it's an artificially manufactured crystal of obsidian!?"
"Eh? A crystal of obsidian? Isn't it glass?"
"No, obsidian is a type of natural glass, a rare mineral synthesized by the energy and heat generated when a meteorite strikes. But it's actually artificially manufactured...This creator named Sara seems very interesting."
Izayoi looked up at the dragon sculpture, a look of interest appearing on his face.
"Well, if I have the chance, I'll introduce you all."
"Thump...Thump...Thump..."
Just as Jin's voice fell, at this moment, a subtle but clear sound echoed in the corridor. Following the direction of the sound, the three problem children saw a jet-black, terrifying shadow gradually approaching.
"I finally found you...Kyaaaaaaaaa!"
Accompanied by a loud bang, the black shadow, still far away, accelerated with a momentary jump and arrived in front of Izayoi and the others.
"Kidnapping the community leader and running away privately, and making threatening declarations, doing this kind of thing...is unforgivable! Hmph hmph hmph, I've finally found you...problem children."
Black Rabbit, her whole body wrapped in a thick jet-black resentment, looked at Izayoi and the others below the stage, saying this in a very terrifying voice.
"How scary..."
"The rabbit is angry."
"It's like a demon."
"Isn't it because of you guys that it's like this!"
Grabbing Jin, who was smiling wryly, with one hand, Black Rabbit roared angrily.
"Let's run!" The first to act, sensing the danger to himself, was Izayoi.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Black Rabbit shouted and chased after them.
"Eh? Wait a minute..."
Izayoi picked up Asuka next to him and turned to escape. Yō blew up a whirlwind, trying to escape into the sky, but she was a few steps too slow. Black Rabbit jumped up forcefully and grabbed Yō's boot.
"Waaaa...Waaaa...!"
"Yō-san, I've caught you! I'll definitely not let you escape again!"
Black Rabbit's smile didn't seem quite right.
She pulled Yō over and hugged her tightly, then whispered in Yō's ear.
"Later, there will be, a lot of, scolding time. Hehehe, please, be prepared in advance...Ohohoho"
"U...Understood." Yō, who had been caught, could only let out a helpless wry smile.
