At Is's intentional or unintentional "reminder", Naria spared the tired Ed and allowed him to sleep for a while—after all, she still had Tess to interrogate first. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Ed climbed the stairs almost on all fours. It was then that he realized that he was really tired, his soul and body were overwhelmed, and he began to complain to him again and again.

He climbed into Is's bed, for York was still asleep in his bed. Naria's friends were there when they left, and he should have thanked them for his chance......

He thought groggily and closed his eyes...... Open again.

It's really hard to fall asleep when there's a dragon staring at you silently from the side.

He wriggled like a worm, giving up half a bed to his friend...... But he knew that this was not what Isse wanted.

"Don't you think there's a problem?" Isis said softly, "You've got that damn crown...... You mastered the Word of the Gods, and then you got the Triple Pagoda...... Don't tell me you really think it's just some kind of long-lost 'good luck'. ”

Ed rubbed his eyes and crawled up.

"Or else?" he said calmly.

“...... They're taking advantage of you. Is's voice was filled with anger, "They have given you all this to face the enemy they should have faced!"

Ed understood who he meant by "they...... He couldn't argue with it either.

"Even so. "It's not that bad." ”

Iss glared at him in exasperation, and he knew what he was worried about.

"You're worried I'm going to turn into a puppet who can't help myself...... Just like Scott. Ed stretched out his arms and struck a stiff pose, "But Scott isn't a puppet, and neither will I." Even if it's a chess piece, it's always not a bad thing to have more power, maybe one day I can get out of control...... Maybe they don't really mean to control anything. ”

The corners of Is's mouth tugged down disdainfully.

"So, don't think about it so much. Ed shrugged, "Let's get the biggest trouble first...... Think about the other troubles. ”

He fell straight down, still muttering, "Don't worry, don't worry......"

I don't know whether to comfort myself or my friends.

A moment later, he heard Is's low, angry and helpless voice:

“...... How is that possible!"

He grinned, rolled over, and buried his face in the pillow.

He really needed a good night's sleep, but he suspected that even in his sleep, he would not find peace...... Until it's all over, he'll probably never find peace again.

He didn't know why he was chosen...... Maybe it's because of his blood, maybe it's because he always finds a reason to convince himself to accept rather than resist.

This may be some kind of weakness. But he really didn't have much choice...... No, that's his choice.

As Sean accused, he could have refused, but he chose to accept it...... There should be no more complaints.

Light and darkness surrounded him, and countless voices whispered in his ear. And he was like a leaf on the cusp of a wave, tossed around, fluttering, ups and downs, and like a rabbit that had fallen into a wolf's den, countless paws reaching out to him, trying to pull him through.

Maybe he should be glad they didn't really want to eat him.

Ed sighed in a daze and fell asleep for another battle.

Naria spared Tess too—much more than Tess expected.

"I think you know what you're doing. "But I hope you'll think about it the next time you do that...... We're going to be worried. ”

Tess sniffled, feeling like crying.

"I see. She said sullenly.

"That's good. Naria patted her on the head, "I'll get you something to eat." ”

Tess thought she had probably forgotten who the older one was...... But it doesn't matter.

The door was gently shut. Tess sat cross-legged on the bed, with her dejected little ...... in front of her Genie.

Tess had never seen a meerkat so depressed...... It doesn't matter if it was just when Xiao Mo was there, or after he had the soul of an elf.

Every hair of its hair drooped down and clinged listlessly to its body, and its whole body seemed to be smaller, not to mention that it was still trying to shrink itself into a smaller ball.

What was he thinking...... Did he think she was going to abandon him, or was he going to abandon her?

"Are you still there?" said Tess softly, holding out her hand.

After a moment, the little mongoose nodded, reaching out and placing its little paws on her hand.

"Well, I'm here too. Tess said, "As long as you're there, I've always been." No matter what the problem, we're all in this together...... If there's really no other way, I'll let Ed try to turn me into a mongoose too—so no one can say we shouldn't be together!"

The more she talked about it, the more she thought it was a really good idea. What's so good about being a human being? What's so good about being an elf? It's better to be two carefree mongooses and live freely in the wasteland...... Or it's not bad to collect gems around the city, and the mongoose's body is better suited to be a thief than a human.

The little paw scratched at her palm, and Norway looked at her helplessly, finally returning to a little normal...... If all this is normal for the reality of driving people crazy.

Where the claws scratched, a trace of red appeared in Tess's palm. Tess didn't care about it at first, until the red marks began to look like some kind of symbol.

“...... What the hell is this?" she frowned slightly, rubbing her palms against her clothes, and felt a faint uneasiness in her heart.

She had been reassuring herself that Ancrane's spell had no effect on her, after all, there was no reason for him to give her a share of his stolen power...... He couldn't have been so generous.

But that's probably self-deception.

"Tsk!" Noway grabbed her fingers and looked at her gravely.

“...... Got it, got it. Tess muttered under her breath, "I'll show Ed this...... When he woke up. He's as tired as a dog, I can't wake him up now, can I? That dragon is going to kick me out!"

As she chirped, the door was pushed open a crack. Nia poked her head out and winked at her.

"Hey, little girl. He said, "May I discuss something with you?"

Tess stared at him suspiciously.

She didn't believe in Nia too much...... It's like she doesn't think she's really trustworthy.

However, Nia's next sentence changed her mind:

"Don't you think there's anything wrong with you?"
