Episode 35: Pursuit

——! someone...... Leaned over to Erhers's side. Who are those guys?Are the soldiers chasing her?are they?If not, Erhes has to leave quickly, she doesn't want to be easily approached by strangers, especially those humans who have little affection for Erhes, neither past nor now.

She just didn't want those people to come close, especially now that she had acquired this body.

"Don't, go, go. Erhes cried out feebly. But the sound in his throat was so small that those who approached it didn't even hear it. The men still approached Erheth as they pleased.

Erhers's vision began to blur, but the other party gave her the impression that she was indeed human, and that she was an adult. The humans who were close to Ehris were two...... Erhes couldn't tell very clearly. The humans were talking around Erheth, not knowing what they were talking about. The men said to Erheth, and to his companions...... Erhes tried to listen, but her consciousness disconnected without warning.

Erhers fell into a deep sleep unable to refuse, and when she awoke, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment.

…… Where is this? When Ehris woke up, that was the first question that came to mind. After all, there was no sky in her sight, but an old wooden ceiling that was rarely seen today.

As she felt the soft touch and confirmed what it was, she found herself lying on an unfamiliar bed, and she was carefully covered with a thin blanket.

Pattering...... The sound of water came to Erhers's ears, and she looked in the direction of the sound, and saw an unfamiliar woman who could be seen to be a little older. She grabbed the towel from the basin next to her with both hands, wringed out the water it had absorbed, and made a dripping sound.

After the woman confirms that the towel is properly moist, fold the towel and place it on Erhes's forehead. Then, her eyes stared silently at Eherth, a gentle look tinged with concern. Erhes remembered the emotion contained in that look, it was an emotion that Erhes had not experienced since she was a child, and it was a feeling that she could only watch from the sidelines but could not get. That emotion is the love that relatives give to their children.

"Son, you've suffered a lot. Escaping from such a dangerous place, I must be exhausted by now. But, rest assured, this is a safe place to rest for a while. ”

Erhers didn't quite understand what the woman meant. The direction in which Erhes came should be to the east of the City of Swords, where the army is deployed. Isn't it a contradiction to say that it is supposed to protect the city, to protect the existence of the people here, and to protect the people here, and to be a place of reassurance?

Erheth was still very weak, and she still had the paralyzing potion she had absorbed in the Wall-E's underground laboratory. She couldn't concentrate for too long, and she couldn't even ask:

"Where am I, and why am I so ...... to me? Okay?"

"I also had children in the past and I love them. And your arrival reminds me of my own children, who are very close to you, and they are both ages that need to be taken care of. ”

When the woman spoke, there was a clear hint of nostalgia. However, that can't hide the sense of loss that comes with it...... What happened to the woman's child? Is it already ...... Gone?
