Chapter 5: Innellis and Irene
Erin's consciousness was groggy, she only remembered that something had happened today, a very bad thing, a very sad thing that made her very scared and sad, but she couldn't remember it clearly.
"What is it?" thought Erin, groggily, "why is it dark here?"
Suddenly, several hideous faces appeared in front of Erin. One of them had a dagger in his hand, and the other two held her in the middle, one left and one right, and they clasped her right hand tightly, and then the man with the dagger in the middle came over.
The dagger slowly approached her index finger, and Erin watched in horror as the man's blade gradually touched her finger, then cut through the skin, and bright red blood gushed out, followed by the sound of steel cutting through bone.
Erin let out a frightened and painful cry, but the screams seemed like a comedy to the people, and they all laughed as if something very amusing had happened.
"Why? Why should we hurt others? Isn't it okay for everybody to get along? I wouldn't hurt anybody else, it's not right to do that. Erin thought to herself, a little bitterly.
A great pain came from her fingers to the nerves, and Erin woke up from the pain. The light shone into her eyes, and she struggled to open them, vaguely trying to see what was going on around her.
The outline of a human face was reflected in her eyes.
"He's looking at me, who is it? Is it the proprietress lady? But she's not that thin. Does anyone still care about me?" thought Erin curiously.
Another face appeared, how could there be two people?
"Is Sister Erin awake?" was a somewhat childish voice, which sounded like a teenage girl, a waitress in the shop?
"She should be awake, it looks like she needs to be sober. As a man who has been in a coma many times, Regna knows exactly what kind of state a person will be in when he first opens his eyes.
"This voice seems familiar, who is it?" Erin thought to herself, although Regner's voice was much thicker than it had been two years ago, Erin still had a vague sense of familiarity with it. She tried to adjust the focus of her pupils as much as she could, trying to see the faces of the two men clearly.
Gradually, the blurred world became clearer, and the details of the two faces were gradually revealed.
The first one is a little blonde girl with big eyes, a cocked nose, and a small mouth. This should be regarded as the most beautiful little girl Erin has ever seen, and compared with her, Erin unconsciously felt a little ashamed of herself.
The little girl had a smile in her eyes, and she seemed to be happy to see herself awake. But no matter how beautiful she was, or how much she cared for herself, Erin was sure that she would never recognize this little girl when she first saw her.
What caught her attention was the second face, his eyebrows were slightly thick, and his eyes were not very large, but the overall look was very delicate, and he was a little handsome.
The young man looked at him with a complicated look, and in addition to the concern that could not be concealed, Erin read nervousness and excitement in his eyes.
"What a familiar look. Erin thought to herself, her vision was not completely clear, so she couldn't identify it as Regner, but these caring eyes made her extremely familiar, those blue-black eyes, that caring and loving eyes, she had only seen in one person. So, Erin unconsciously muttered, "Brother Regner......"
"Well, here I am. Ragner said softly with a little choked up: "Erin, you don't have to be afraid, I'm here, I've found you!"
Erin was stunned when she heard this, and she opened her eyes wide and tried to look at the young man. The contours of that face gradually overlapped with the person she remembered a few years ago, and the warm and rough feeling coming from the palm of her left hand was also extremely familiar to her. Could it really be him? Is he dreaming again?
Erin's vision was completely clear, there was no sound in the whole room, the three of them just looked at each other, and no one said a word.
Erin opened her mouth, perhaps afraid of shattering this hard-won dream, but she still didn't have the courage to say it, so she closed her mouth again.
"It's true, Irene. Regner spoke first: "It's me, I'm Regner, I've found you! Brother Regner has found you!"
"Regner...... Brother?" Erin's voice trembled with disbelief, but she finally mustered up the courage to speak, "Brother Regner, are you ...... Are you really Brother Regner?"
Regner stared at Erin's face burned beyond recognition, and then nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's me, I'm coming!"
"Brother Regner......" Tears gradually welled up in Erin's eyes, and they gathered on the burnt pink flesh to form a crystal droplet. Erin didn't know where she got the strength, she struggled to sit up, and said softly with a hint of crying, "Brother Regner......"
Ragner gently embraced the ugly girl into his arms, tears streaming down his face.
Innellis looked at Erin and Regner, who were hugging each other, and she stuck out her little tongue mischievously, and then quietly left the room very understandingly.
......
Vera and Cordak were sitting in a corner of the tavern, while Hans was bored and fell asleep alone in the room. Although the tavern was chaotic and noisy at this time, Iniris quickly found the tall Kordak.
"Yo, the little one is out, why don't you stay with your brother Regner?" Cordak was a little amused to see such a little guy as Innellis running around in this chaotic tavern.
Inerith pouted, "I'm not a little guy! don't call me that in the future, or I'll be angry!"
"That's it, you can't always call it Ini. Vera also stood in solidarity with the little girl.
"Okay, okay, I won't call it anymore, Miss Ini. Cordak raised his hand in surrender, years of experience had taught him that it was okay to rebel against a woman if necessary, but no matter what the circumstances, don't go against two women at the same time, otherwise you will die a terrible death.
"Now, Ini, why don't you stay with Regner?" Kordak asked.
Inilith shook her head, "Sister Erin just woke up, and I always have to give them a little time to be alone." ”
Cordak and Vera looked at each other, and they both read the astonishment in each other's eyes.
"Looks like Inni has really grown up!" Vera touched Inniris's little head.
"Why did Sister Vera say that?" asked Iniris a little strangely.
"Because you know how to think about others. Cordak said with a smile as he took out a cup, then poured a little of the wine from his own cup and handed it to the little girl: "Come, Ini, to celebrate your growth, take a sip." ”
"Hmm, is this good thing?" said Iniris, holding her glass in both hands, leaned her little nose over and sniffed it gently, and then she frowned slightly.
"It's delicious!" Cordak was so sure that he took a big sip before saying, "You see, I'm very fond of it." ”
"Well...... Inellis thought for a moment, then looked at Vera, who was holding back a laugh, and then picked up the cup and drank it down.
"Yes, yes, that's it, don't spit out, don't spit out, swallow it, it's very comfortable. When Kordak saw that Iniris was so happy, he also hurriedly coaxed.
"You're bad! Bully someone's little girl, be careful I tell Regner. Vera laughed and hammered Kordak.
"Hey, didn't you stop it just now?" said Kordak with a laugh.
The two of them watched with some amusement as Inilis's little face turned from white to red, from red to purple, and then from purple to black.
Normally, when Kordak or Regnar joked with her, she would pretend to be very annoyed and play with them. But today, Iniris couldn't make a fuss. Ignoring the sharp sensation on the tip of her tongue, she forced herself to swallow a large gulp of the spirit. Then, her eyes turned red, and she didn't know if she was choking on alcohol or because of something else.
Kordak and Vera also saw Innellis's abnormality, and they looked at each other again.
"Feeling a little sad?" Vera vaguely guessed something, maybe Innellis was not in a good mood when she saw Erin and Regner's intimacy.
"......" Iniris shook her head, then nodded again, she was silent for a long time before she said, "I shouldn't be sad, but...... But I couldn't help it. ”
Inerith wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said, "I think this is very bad, Sister Erin has finally reunited with Brother Regna, I should be happy, and I am really happy." But...... But I saw the two of them ...... It's so intimate, and I'm a little unhappy. I don't think I should be like this, like this...... That's not good. ”
Although Innellis spoke incoherently, Kordaq and Vera understood Innellis in a certain way. To put it simply, the little girl is jealous, but she feels that she shouldn't be jealous, it's wrong to be jealous, so she feels bad at this time, so she is not in a very good mood.
Vera looked at Iniris with a guilty face, and then smiled softly, she grabbed Iniris's little hand, and then said seriously: "Inni don't have to be sad, to think like this, this already shows that Inni is a good girl." ”
"Huh?" Innellis wiped her eyes and looked at Vera with some confusion.
Vera smiled and explained: "It's normal for you to be unhappy, which shows that you care about Xiao Lei a lot, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a good girl or not." However, when you are unhappy, you will think of Ray and Erin and feel sorry for them. This shows that our Inni is a kind child and a good girl. At least, I or Kordak don't care what happens to anyone else when we're unhappy, right?"
"Ahhh Cordak was stunned for a moment, trying to hide the great pain of being stepped on by Vera's right foot, and nodded as he pretended to be serious.
"Is that really the case?" asked Iniris hesitantly.
"Really!" Vera replied affirmatively: "Yini is a good girl, and Xiao Lei must also like a good girl like Yini!"
Hearing Vera's affirmative answer, a little smile appeared on Innellis's little face. Then she seemed to realize something, and suddenly lowered her head with a red face, and said timidly: "People don't want Brother Regna to like it!"
