Time flies so fast, nearly half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
This is a quiet and peaceful frontier town located on the edge of the continent.
The sun was setting in the west, and a lazy ray of sunshine shone on the town. It also illuminated the table of the small street restaurant where a troubled little girl and a well-armed heroic female knight attendant were sitting.
The originally beautiful and sacred golden-red armor worn by the female knight became more and more dazzling.
That’s right!
They are none other than Annie and Elena!
They actually arrived here yesterday. At that time, the two of them had just arrived and discovered that there were actually several monsters in this small town, and they also ate people, casting an ominous shadow over this originally peaceful border town?
And for that kind of thing, neither Anne nor Elena would definitely be willing to sit idly by, especially knowing that the people here haven't collected enough money yet and made up their minds to issue a task commission to the 'organization', and they have no intention of doing so at the moment.
When you are running a business and are not willing to receive outsiders.
then!
After getting Annie's approval and instruction, Elena tentatively took action and quickly locked on those monsters. Then she pulled them out and killed them easily in full view of the public. Annie and Elena
A free traveler master and servant, of course, received the highest level of warm welcome and reception from the townspeople.
Originally, the mayor planned to give Annie and Elena a reward, but Annie, who was never short of money, refused without question.
However, she clearly and unsubtlely reminded the other party that compared to money, she might like food more, that is, the kind of delicious and delicious food?
And of course that kind of trivial matter cannot be troubled by the mayor who is like a human spirit!
Just like that, that night, under the command of the old mayor who knew the elegance of songs, the best chefs and hunters in the town brought the best ingredients to the house where Annie and Elena lived.
The chef of the small hotel then showed off his craftsmanship very attentively and entertained the two of them so much that even at dusk the next day, neither of them were willing to leave.
Of course, it was Anne who was reluctant to leave.
As for Elena, who is silent and always stands behind Anne as a guard and background, her demand for food is not great, and her daily intake may be less than one-tenth of Anne's, so delicious food and so on
, it doesn’t mean much to her.
Isn’t this?
Tonight, before the sun went down, the old mayor actually sent someone to bring food again, and it was some food that Anne had never eaten before. Although it might not be worth much, it was better than being rare!
In this case, it is not difficult to guess that the two of them will probably stay here for a long time, there is no doubt about it!
"..."
(~)Chew!
"Yeah! Delicious!"
()
But no matter what, Annie, who was enjoying a delicious dinner, watching the sunset and the beautiful scenery of the border town, and joking with Elena or the little brats from the townsfolk passing by with envy from time to time, little Annie
Not to mention how comfortable my life was.
Anyway, she has nothing to do recently, and as long as there is delicious food, she won't mind if she continues to stay here for ten or eight days.
"!!"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
Sudden!
While she was eating delicious food, her eyes were suddenly attracted by a familiar figure.
"that is……"
(°ー°〃)
"ah!"
∑(￣□￣*|||
"Isn't that guy the trash?"
(ω‖)
While her eyes were slightly widened, Anne was still a little uncertain and asked Elena next to her. At the same time, her eyes were fixed on the dirty and lost guy.
Because, what is different from the energetic young man Lackey who followed Claire in the past is that the guy in front who is entering the gate of the town and being pointed and watched by the townspeople is dirty and dirty.
His clothes were in tatters, his clothes were almost in pieces, and there were a lot of solidified blood stains on his body. His eyes were dull and his hair was withered. He looked like a walking zombie?
"!!"
"It's indeed him..."
Although I haven’t seen each other for a while, maybe more than half a month?
However, Elena recognized at a glance that the young man who was staggering and seemed to be about to fall down at any time was the young man following Claire.
"not good!"
"Maybe something happened to Claire!"
Immediately afterwards, Elena was agitated, and then she subconsciously thought about what Lackey's situation meant, and she could no longer stand.
"!!"
then!
She dodged directly and used the fastest speed, like a phantom, to cross hundreds of meters of blocks in an instant and appeared in front of the stumbling Lackey with distracted eyes, making those who were about to step forward to intercept him
The townspeople who asked about it were all shocked.
"Raki!"
"what happened?"
"How could you do this?"
"besides!"
"Where's Claire!"
Then, after standing suddenly in front of Lackey, Elena couldn't think too much. She, who was always taciturn, actually asked loudly and anxiously in a stern tone.
"..."
It's a pity that Lackey didn't react immediately.
With his eyes wandering and his head dazed, he staggered to a stop until he saw something blocking his way in front of him, and then subconsciously raised his dull eyes towards the person who was much taller than him.
Elena's head looks up.
"..."
"!!"
Finally, when he discovered Elena's beautiful, closed, handsome and very familiar golden-red helmet and the conspicuous red spike-like tassel decoration, his dull and unfocused eyes finally gradually focused.
They gathered together, and then a trace of surprise and joy flashed across their faces at the same time.
"Ai, Elena..."
"Claire..."
"she……"
"she……"
It's a pity that although he met an acquaintance who was trustworthy and helpful, Lackey, who had no idea what he had been through these days, could no longer hold on. When he was about to step forward and explain, he first
He staggered, then rolled his eyes, and then he fell softly into Elena's arms and passed out while the world was spinning.
"!!"
"Rakhi?"
"Wake up!"
Seeing this, Elena of course shook her vigorously, trying to wake the other party up.
"Raki!"
"Wake up quickly!!"
"hateful!"
Seeing that the other party didn't respond, she was anxious and gave him a few scratches on the ear, not too seriously.
And it is not surprising that she behaves like this. After all, the young man in front of her is not very familiar with her, just acquaintance. Compared with this, what she is more worried about is of course the person he is following, that is.
The situation of her best friend Claire.
"??"
()
"If you hit him a few more times, he will probably be beaten to death by you!"
(￣～￣)Chew!
Seeing that Elena wanted to raise her hand again, Annie, who was grabbing the thigh of an unknown animal and eating it while strolling over, finally had to speak out and stop the other party.
"Do not worry!"
(=^~^=)
"He doesn't seem to be dead yet. You should take him back to the hotel first and have him taken good care of. Maybe he will wake up tomorrow morning?"
(==)
Although Anne had many ways to wake the other party up, she felt that it shouldn't be anything serious and felt that no matter what happened, it was certainly not as important as eating. After thinking about it, she just reminded her like this.
"!!"
"yes!"
"I see."
Hearing Annie's words, she felt that what she had just done was indeed reckless. At the same time, Elena also knew that Elaqui's ordinary body was definitely not comparable to hers, so Elena picked him up without hesitation, and then talked with her.
After Annie asked for instructions, she couldn't wait to take the unconscious Lucky and ran towards the small hotel where the two of them were staying at high speed.
"..."
(lll￢▽￢)
"never mind!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Ignore her!"
()
Anyway, she didn't think there would be anything important, so Annie ignored the other person, just continued to eat hers, and then walked towards the restaurant where the two of them just ate.
After all, she had only eaten half of her dinner, and now that Elena was taking care of the energetic guy who had become no longer energetic, of course she was happy to go back and continue eating hers. That was more important.
things.
Furthermore, her little bear was left on the table over there by her. Although she had just used it as a hand towel to make it dirty, if it was accidentally taken away by those little brats,
If so, she would still be a little worried.
Of course, she is definitely not worried about her little bears, but worried about those little brats...
You know, without the constraints of Queen Anne, the most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most powerful person in the world, her family’s
Tibbers the Bear is much crueler and scarier than those monsters!
Those monsters only eat some viscera and brains, and they only eat one or two people a day at most, and some even eat one in secret for several days; but her little bear is completely different. Once it loses her restraint, it can't even eat for a day.
You can eat an entire town's fresh 'females' in almost half a day, and you can eat them majestically, including the skin and meat?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
(That's not the case. Tibbers said: Uncle Bear is also quite picky about food. He still doesn't like some fresh 'female' humans. He will only choose the highest quality ingredients to enjoy.)
that's all!
As things took a new turn, Annie and Elena had to stay in this border town for another day.
result……
Surprisingly, Anne's judgment was wrong.
The physical difference between that energetic young man Lackey was beyond her imagination. He originally thought he would be able to wake up the next morning, but he delayed his movement until the afternoon, and actually slept more than Anne Bennie.
old?
"Well……"
"here it is……"
On the bed in the hotel room, Lachi, who had been carefully scrubbed clean by the hotel's dedicated waitress, put on a new set of clothes, and even drank a lot of soup and water, finally woke up and
Opened his eyes.
"!!"
Then, when he raised his head and saw Elena standing by the bed and Anne sitting on the window sill not far away, dangling her feet and looking bored, his originally confused mind suddenly became clear.
Then he quickly sat up and screamed for help:
"Elena!"
"And Annie?!"
"Very good!"
"Something happened to Claire!!"
Then, the first thing he said was of course the fact that Elena was most worried about and Anne had already guessed.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"explain!"
"What's the specific situation?!"
Of course Elena knew that something must have happened to Claire, otherwise, she wouldn't have come to the other party's room early in the morning and stayed there until now without eating or drinking.
To be honest, she couldn't help it just now. If Annie hadn't stopped her, she almost wanted to pour a basin of cold water directly on the other person's bed!
"ah……"
"Yes, that's it!"
At first, he was frightened by Elena's tone and cold eyes, but soon, Lackey recovered and then told everything that happened.
"After parting ways with you in the Holy City of Labona, Claire was sent to perform several missions, including those with abnormal appetites, that is, the mission to eliminate the awakened ones, but most of them were completed smoothly.
.”
"but!"
"Not long ago, Claire was sent to this border area by an agent, saying that she and Ophelia, the fourth-ranked member of the organization, were going to eliminate a person with abnormal appetite?"
"result……"
While Elena's brows furrowed and her expression became even more nervous, Lackey, who had just woken up, was sore and weak, and was still very hungry and thirsty, cheered up and slowly spoke out the situation at that time.
A few days ago…
When he and Claire went to the border village who didn't know how far away from here according to the mission instructions, they discovered that the place had been destroyed and turned into a deserted ruins? And just when they were careful
While searching for the target, he accidentally discovered the companion sent by the organization to perform the mission, that is, Ophelia!
At the beginning, neither Lackey nor Claire paid much attention to it, thinking that the other would cooperate with Claire as before to deal with the person with abnormal appetite who did not know where he was hiding.
.
But no idea...
But the other party acted like a lunatic. He bullied Claire and kept saying that she was an awakened person. He also actively attacked Lackey and even wanted to kill him. He looked crazy?
Seeing this, of course Claire would not turn a blind eye and started fighting with the opponent directly!
Then……
Then the madman actually cut off Claire's legs, and also used teasing and threatening to kill Lackey to force Claire to release her demonic power within the specified time to reconnect her legs and then continue the duel with her.
?
Lackey could see that the other party was deliberately teasing them based on their strength, and would not give Claire a chance at all!
Therefore, in order not to interfere with Claire's efforts to reconnect her legs, and to give Claire a chance, he began to remain silent and allowed the lunatic to create wounds one after another on his body, without uttering any sound of pain throughout the process.
Phew, just because I don’t want to disturb Claire.
pity!
His approach was seen through by the other party. Then, the other party changed his mind and wanted to kill him directly and then play with Claire.
Fortunately...
At that critical moment!
The target of that mission, the 'Abnormal Appetite', appeared, and under some circumstances, he got into a fight with Ophelia, and finally gave them a chance to escape, allowing him to hug Claire as her legs recovered.
He fled the scene directly.
But no idea...
That Ophelia was so powerful that it didn't take long before Claire and Lucky decided to decide the outcome and defeated the man with abnormal appetite before Claire and Lucky could escape far?
then!
In order to lure away the enemy and avoid causing trouble to Claire, Lackey agreed to Claire's plan and asked him to escape to the northwest, while Claire went to the northeast, and promised to come back when it was safe.
Find Lucky.
But...
In the next few days, Lackey never saw Claire again, and he did not dare to break the promise and go back to find Claire, because he knew that he would definitely not find her, and he did not dare to look for her.
, for fear of becoming a burden and trouble to her again.
Next, of course, he continued to move in the direction that Claire told him. It was not until yesterday that he arrived here and unexpectedly met Annie and Elena.
"!!"
"Ophelia!!"
At this time, after Lackey finished speaking, Elena's eyes instantly became tense and sharp, and at the same time, the demon power in her body began to vibrate, scaring Lackey so much that she subconsciously hugged her head.
"you……"
"You know her?"
But Lackey quickly reacted and knew that Elena was not targeting him, so he dared to ask boldly.
"snort!"
"heard about it……"
"In the organization, there is a lunatic who does not take the lives of her companions and other humans seriously, is very belligerent, and is extremely excited when seeing blood. Her name is Ophelia!"
"That guy from 4!"
Clenching her hands into fists, Elena relayed what she knew about Ophelia's general situation. At the same time, she couldn't help but become more worried about Claire.
"explain!"
"How many days have you and Claire been separated?"
"About which direction?"
Then, Elena, knowing that Claire would definitely not be Ophelia's opponent, hurriedly asked Lachi.
"East……"
"East!"
"It should be, it's been six or seven days."
Although he was frightened by Elena's terrifying expression, Lackey still gritted his teeth and pointed out the direction and the time when he and Claire should separate.
"Six or seven days?"
"Tsk!"
"I hope she's okay, otherwise..."
Elena, who was feeling annoyed why she didn't find something to wake up Lackey, finally couldn't sit still anymore. She turned to look at Annie who was sitting by the window sill watching the excitement and begged:
"Lady Anne!"
"Claire's whereabouts are unknown, I must rescue her!"
Elena said anxiously, fearing that Annie would refuse or object.
"Then go!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"People in this small town are tired of being stupid anyway!"
()hey-hey!
"Let's go hunt down that bad guy's 4 big swords together!"
()
After saying that, Annie jumped down from the window sill and cheered, indicating that she was also very rare about the madman's sword that Lackey mentioned.
Of course, the most important thing is: she has nothing to do now!
Immediately afterwards, after Elena slowly put on her helmet and grabbed the gorgeous sword lying nearby and prepared it, while Lackey was stunned, the two of them actually pushed the door open and walked away.
And no one wants to ask him if he wants to be together?
"Hello!"
"you!"
"wait……"
"Wait for me!"
"I am coming too!"
Upon seeing this, Lackey, who took a while to react, naturally rolled off the bed. Then, when he dragged his injured and limp body and staggered out of the hotel door, he was still there.
Can you see those two guys?
no doubt!
This time, Talaki was abandoned again...
