There was silence in the forest.

Ogis put down the carving knife in her hand and looked intently at the puppet in her hand, her eyes filled with an inexplicable emotion.

"How? What do you think?"

Not far away, the blond girl looked at Ogis while drinking black tea, and asked.

"It feels...very strange."

Ogis murmured to herself, reaching out her hand and gently stroking the surface of the doll.

"I have never had such a feeling before. I can touch it with my fingers and feel its existence. Carving a piece of wood into a completely different look is like turning it into a completely different life... The owner originally created it

Was it the same when I was there?"

"I don't know about that."

The blond girl put down the tea cup, and then she saw a small and cute doll holding a teapot in front of her and refilling the blond girl's cup of tea.

"Even if we are both puppet makers, everyone has different ideas. The purpose and idea of ​​making puppets are the same. But now, you have to remember your identity. You are no longer a created being. You now have a creation.

talent, then you should think about how to use this talent..."

"The talent to create..."

Hearing the instructions from the blonde girl, a thoughtful look appeared in Ogis's eyes. She lowered her head and looked at the half-formed doll in her hand.

"The talent I need..."

Staring at the doll, Ogis fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Duanmuhuai is enjoying...or nostalgia.

"I never expected that I would revisit a public bathhouse here. How long has it been since I've been to a place like this?"

Looking at the dilapidated bathhouse in front of him, Duanmu Huai was speechless. Since he bought the skill book today, he and Lorena spent almost all their duel points, and finally had no choice but to rent two dilapidated apartments. As a result, this

There is nothing in the apartment except a bed and a toilet. If you want to take a bath, you have to go to a nearby bathhouse. If he had known this, Duanmu Huai should have saved more duel points, so that he would not be in such a miserable state.

"I must earn more points tomorrow, and at least live in a normal place..."

While muttering to himself, Duanmu Huai walked into the bathhouse.

Not long after Duanmu Huai walked into the bathhouse, two more figures soon appeared outside the bathhouse.

"Really, why do I have to come to a place like this?"

Looking at the bathhouse in front of him, a man with black hair tied in a ponytail complained with dissatisfaction.

"Because the duel damaged the water pipes in the dojo, it will take time to repair. There is no way around it."

Hearing his companion's complaint, a blond man in Tao uniform next to him answered.

"Extreme flow is a big venue after all. Can't we pay more attention to this aspect?"

"If you want to complain, go complain to dad, Robert."

"Ugh...it's better to forget it then."

Appearing at the entrance of the bathhouse were Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia from the extreme style. They are the masters of extreme style and guests of this duel competition. The reason why I am here today is because of the duel in the dojo.

They accidentally broke the water pipe line, and not only were they scolded by their younger sister Yuri Sakazaki, but they were also kicked out. In desperation, the two had no choice but to take a bath at the bathhouse near the dojo.

However, when the two of them took off their clothes and walked into the bathhouse, they were surprised to find several people standing outside the bathhouse. They were naked and looking inside hesitantly, as if they didn't know whether they should go in or not.

"What's going on here?"

"Just ask."

Seeing this scene, Sakazaki Ryo and Robert were also confused. They walked to the door, and then Robert patted one of them on the shoulder.

"Hey, what are you looking at here? There are no women inside."

"Ugh! Ah, you are extreme people..."

When Robert patted the shoulder, the guests outside were also startled. They turned around and saw Ryo Sakazaki and Robert, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, you don't know... there is a very scary person taking a bath inside, and we don't even dare to go in."

"A terrible person?"

Hearing this, Sakazaki Ryo and Robert looked at each other.

"Yes, it looks like he is from the underworld... Everyone is afraid of him, so they don't dare to go in and take a bath. I asked, is this some kind of underworld trick, to scare away the guests, and then look for him again?"

The store wants benefits or something..."

"Is there such a thing?!"

After hearing this, the two of them couldn't help it.

"Let's go take a look."

As he spoke, Sakazaki Ryo strode into the bathhouse, and Robert followed.

The huge bathhouse was empty, and there was no one in it. It was obvious that just as those few guests said, the other guests were probably scared away.

Who on earth could actually do such a dirty trick?

Seeing this scene, Sakazaki Liang frowned. In his opinion, this was obviously not a decent behavior. This was just a dilapidated and ancient bathhouse. It was too much for the underworld to even spare such a place!

So, where are the key people?

"Hey, Liang, look over there."

Just as Sakazaki Ryo looked around to find the culprit, Robert whispered in his ear and raised his chin to the front. Sakazaki Ryo looked in the direction indicated by Robert, and then - he was shocked.

I saw a huge black figure sitting there in the hot spring bath. Under the light, I could see the other person's bulging muscles and brown skin. What's more terrible is that the other person was just sitting there, feeling

They are as tall as they stand!

Is this still human?!

Even Sakazaki Ryo and Robert, who have experienced many battles, were startled at this moment. Although the guests outside did say that this guy was very fierce, at that time they only thought it was because the other party had a bad attitude. But now, looking at it, the two of them are also

They were quite frightened, especially that fierce face. It was obvious that he had his eyes closed, but for some reason, it gave the two of them an unprecedented sense of oppression and intimidation.

It felt as if they were not in a bathing place, but in a cave in the mountains, facing a sleeping tiger!

No, I'm afraid tigers are easier to deal with!

Unconsciously, the two of them even breathed softly, as if they were instinctively afraid of the man in front of them, or even afraid of waking him up.

Wait, that’s not right!

It was at this moment that the two of them suddenly came to their senses.

They are extreme fighters, how could they be intimidated by one person like this!

If word of this spreads, how can they still mess around?!

"I want to come forward and say that what he is doing is simply causing trouble to the store!"

Sakazaki Liang gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, looked at the man and whispered. Although he forced himself to calm down, the figure with a strange sense of pressure just sitting there was enough to make him feel nervous.

Get up. In fact, Sakazaki Ryo has entered a fighting state without knowing it. At this moment, he even feels more nervous than in the duel field.

"Be careful."

Robert also clenched his fists and whispered, and at the same time he chuckled.

"However, there is no need to worry too much. I have seen many big guys like this. They are all strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They are not worth mentioning at all..."

"Um……………"

Hearing Robert's words, Sakazaki Liang nodded, then he took a deep breath and walked over.

"Hey you………!"

"Um?"

Hearing someone calling him, Duanmu Huai opened his eyes and looked forward. When he saw these two people, he couldn't help but be startled.

Aren’t these Ryo Sakazaki and Robert?

Are you not familiar with them? Why are they looking for you?

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at the two of them.

"What's up?"

“——————!!”

What a look!

What Sakazaki Liang and Robert didn't expect was that when the other person opened his eyes and looked at them, they suddenly felt an unprecedented terror! It was as if the person there was not a human at all, but a giant dragon! At this moment, it even opened its eyes

He opened his eyes and was staring at these tiny creatures like himself, as if he wanted to devour them completely in one bite!

Who is this person!

Robert even took a step back and directly assumed a fighting posture. This was not because he was warlike, but because his body instinctively sensed the danger and spontaneously chose to resist.

Because——if you don’t resist, you will die!!
