"Arthur!"

Nayin and Werther shouted loudly at the same time, Werther quickly hugged Arthur, and Nayin quickly touched Arthur's forehead. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh my God, it's so hot!" As the words were spoken, sadness and distress appeared on the girl's fair face.

Seeing Nayin's expression, Witt asked more eagerly, "Nayin, Arthur, is he okay?"

Naine shook his head and said, "It's just a common cold, it dragged on for too long before, and now Arthur is relaxed, so it broke out all of a sudden." ”

"Is it ......?" Werther recalls the image of Arthur waiting under the tree, even in the rain, and many times before reaching Toba. "You ...... thing," Werther sighed helplessly, wondering if Arthur hadn't been able to dodge the mayor's oil and ignition, he had been patient.

"Nain, can you treat it?"

Nayin nodded: "There are still some herbs available in Toba Town, I can dispense medicines, plus recuperation, there is no problem." ”

"Well, then let's go find a hotel and settle down, preferably in the middle of nowhere, the people here should not welcome me and Arthur anymore. ”

"Hmm!"

Werther sat on the edge of the bed, and after a short time he touched Arthur's forehead again, and after confirming that the temperature had indeed dropped, he sighed again and gently lifted the quilt.

"Werther. When she opened the door, Nain called very softly, and even the caretakers were afraid of being disturbed. She walked into the room with several herbs in her arms, placed them on the table, and then walked to the bed, and with Werther, looked at Arthur's sleeping face, "Is Arthur better?"

"Ah, the medicine you prepared is very effective, the fever has subsided, now it's time to rest. ”

"Hmmm......"

One stood and the other sat as they watched the sleeping people, and after the room returned to silence, the awkward atmosphere gradually emerged.

Nayin secretly looked at Werther, looked at it a few times and then looked away, Werther also felt the embarrassment spreading in silence, he raised his head and looked at the girl who was standing in order, somehow, he was a little embarrassed like her.

"The ......"

"Ah......h

The meeting of eyes led to the two of them speaking at the same time, and after a short stunned gaze, there was also a somewhat shy smile.

"Arthur won't wake up for a while, let's go outside. Werther stood up, and saw the shy smile of the spirit standing up straight, barely reaching his chest, and then Werther knew that it was difficult for him to treat Nayin as an elder who had existed for a hundred years, and he was afraid that he would treat Arthur as a sister.

The inn was close to the forest on the edge of the town, and they simply walked among the sun-drenched tree-lined paths, the dappled shadows of the trees swirling over the two walking side by side, and the sound of the grass soothing their hearts.

The shortened distance allowed Witt to smell Nayin's unique scent of faint herbs mixed with the smell of moist earth after rain, which was refreshing, natural, relaxing, and hopeful for the future. He thought that such an aroma would be perfect for Arthur.

Although Arthur and I have been trying to gather information since we set out on this journey, perhaps because of the church, we haven't been able to find a single book about the Shadow, so I don't know much about him. ”

"I thought Werther would ask more personal questions. Looking up, Naine smiled.

"Oh no...... That...... Not quite right......" Witt scratched his head with an awkward smile.

"It's okay. With his hands clasped in front of him, Naine smiled and lowered his head, "Although I don't know anything about you, I trust you, so it's okay." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I should have told you early in the morning. Arthur is looking for a certain spirit, so he will go to the Holy Capital, as for me...... It should be to exercise skills, to become stronger, well, that's it. ”

After a slight pause, Werther added with a smile: "Also, I don't worry about leaving Arthur alone, that guy can't do without me." ”

Naine looked at Werther, who was smiling brightly, and blinked quickly, and quickly lowered his head and said softly, "I see...... Spirit Shadow, how to say it, is really an incredible existence, obviously dead, but can be reborn by devouring other people's lives, and can also have powerful abilities, Spirit Shadow...... What is the reason for this? I sat on the cedar tree and thought about it all the time. ”

"Spirits are very different from humans, aren't they?"

"Hmm. If there is a next time, if I can choose, I will not be a spirit shadow, no matter how much regret and resentment I will let go, and simply die. ”

“…… It's a painful thing, sorry. ”

"Ah, Witt doesn't need to apologize, it's just that even after more than a hundred years, I won't forget it. At first, I didn't know that I had become a spirit after death, but I was conscious and could feel my body, maybe it was the process of the spirit shadow, I watched my father and mother hug my body and cry bitterly, but I couldn't do anything myself...... That's when I regretted it, why I chose that way to make my loved one suffer, I ...... I wanted to apologize, but I couldn't speak, so I screamed and reached out to grab them, but I couldn't catch anything, I couldn't make a sound. As they carried me away, I anxiously tried to keep up, but I found myself like I was chained, unable to get out of the range of the cedar tree, and I tried desperately to break free, but to no avail. ”

Naine slowly raised her hands and lowered her gaze to look at the empty palms.

Later, grief gradually replaced fear. Because I could still feel the presence of my body, I could feel myself being placed in the coffin, and I could hear the sound of nails being driven into the coffin clearly, one by one, one by one, heavy, muffled, death-like sounds, and I can still hear ...... to this day."

As she spoke, Naine gradually hugged herself.

"I'm scared...... Being alone in a pitch-black coffin, with a distorted perception of time and space, made me very miserable during that time. I could feel myself rotting, disappearing, worms crawling all over my body, gnawing on...... I kept shouting and crying under the cedar tree, but I disappeared little by little in the coffin...... Perhaps it was only after the corpse completely decomposed that the connected senses disappeared completely, and I gradually calmed down and began to realize that I had become a ghost. Maybe that's what every shadow goes through...... After a while, as a spirit shadow, I became a complete body, and gradually felt that I had some kind of ability that was completely different from when I was alive, just like replacing the decaying and disappearing body, sensitive to changes in the land, able to sense the flow of aura, able to control the air, and create invisible walls......"

With that, Naine looked at Werther and smiled mischievously, and Werther winked with a smile.
