"What? Take you out?"

The first request when I met people was to take them out of the cave, and it wasn't a Mariori princess or an RPG game, and Jean felt that this Heratis was a fascination.

"That's right, the concubine has already stated on the note that the concubine is willing to follow you forever with endless gold and silver treasures, "and will not break us apart until death." ”

Jean, who didn't notice this, was confused by what he said, and he just said it casually, but he didn't expect the other party to take it seriously.

At this time, Chi Manqi secretly whispered to him: "Since the other party only asks you to take her out, you can also earn gold and silver treasures for nothing, and I can also have a good place to live, this is the best of both worlds, and there is no loss in blood!"

Jean frowned, not responding to Chimanqi.

(If you take this guy out, how will you explain it to Letty...... Letty is okay, and what about Yukina?, what should I do...... ）”

"Let me think about it. ”

After leaving this sentence, Jean fell into deep thought, and Helatis and Red Manqi waited patiently for his next sentence.

……

Take her out? non-existent.

One, I have nothing to do with her, it's just a one-sided relationship now, and casually agreeing to other people's requests may also be said to be frivolous by people who are good things, plus "myself" has made a deep enough impression on other people before, if you take a girl home for no reason, I'm afraid I'm going to be pulled to the pig cage.

Second, he didn't say that he really wanted to take her away, and there was still room for refusal, he was just called by Chi Manqi to help, if it wasn't for the fact that he was too lazy to pay attention to all the information about his biological brother.

But on the other hand, if you reject Heratis's words directly, you may live up to her kindness, and it is estimated that it will hurt her heart, after all, people have been waiting for maybe hundreds of years, and loneliness or something has already tasted it.

That's where the contradiction lies.

No, no, no, no, the more Gene thinks about it, the more irritable he becomes, between morality and kindness, such a choice is very difficult, the so-called life choice question.

"I'm only here to help the youkai next to me find a place to live, not for the treasure. ”

Jean's sudden opening made the hearts of both youkai chuckle.

"I woke you up unintentionally, I didn't know you existed before, and I didn't know what the consequences would be after reading the note, I just knew that you were a dead thing. ”

Full of a polite tone, revealing the slightest sign of rejection, Heratis's mood gradually fell to the lowest point, and his head was completely lowered.

"What are you talking about, Jean?!" Red Manqi didn't seem to believe it.

"Although saying this will be very sorry for you, and it may cause you to hate me for the rest of your life, but I refuse! No matter how much you hate me, I will not violate the morality of being a human being, I am a human being, and you are a demon, so ...... Please forgive me for being unreasonable, for I am going to put you in the agony of loneliness again!"

"Jean, do you know what you're talking about, our abode is gone, QAQ!"

"I know what I'm doing, that's why I say that, if I bring another youkai home, I'll probably be scolded to death by my father, and then he'll say something stupid to me about not being allowed to take the harem. ”

I already have a Letty, and if I bring another Helatis, wouldn't it form a "tragic Shura field between me and my two Snow Maidens"?

"But...... Alas, all the good things have been ruined by you!Looks like I'm going to have to wander outside for a while!" Red Manqi stomped his feet and did not forget to give Jean a look of contempt.

Although Heratis's face was as black as a cauldron, she was also smiling, and the tears that occasionally shed from the corners of her eyes seemed to have already revealed her feelings, but she understood what Jean said.

I heard some of the elders among the yokai say that there is no good result between humans and yokai. The same is true even now.

"The concubine understands...... I guess Mr. Jean is also very embarrassed, as a human being, you want to bring a monster into the country of the human race, if it is not a special case, you will be judged a traitor, the concubine understands......"

"I'm sorry, but I wanted to take you away too, but that's what fate has arranged. It is that terrible and ridiculous fate that has arranged us dramatically here, but unfortunately, we cannot go against fate. ”

Chi Manqi didn't look fake when she saw Jean, but she was really powerless, and she knew the relationship between monsters and humans, and she was a monster.

"In that case...... Then I won't force Mr. Jean either. ”

All of a sudden, the temperature dropped a lot, almost as cold as the bone marrow.

"You ......"

A thick murderous aura came over his face, and Jean quickly dodged and dodged somewhere else—for a huge hailstone was almost hitting him in the face.

"Just stay here and be with me!!"

Heratis's face changed dramatically for a moment—sharp eyes, sharp jaws that pierced a dead man's jaws, pointed elven ears, and two vampire fangs, and a long staff appeared in her hand at some point.

"Ahhhh——!!h

The two of them covered their ears and retreated, originally trying to get out of here quickly, but Heratis blocked the exit early in the morning, or with magic.

"Damn! We've all been fooled by her! This isn't a Snow Maiden, it's a banshee!" Gene complained.

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

In the park at this time.

It was getting late, and Letty, who had been sitting on the bench for a long time, began to feel anxious, in her thoughts, Gene would normally return soon, but it was almost evening, but Gene still did not return, as if she was missing.

Qinjian, who had enjoyed the joy for a long time, was reluctant to part with the other children, and ran to the bench for fear of being blamed by Jean, but he couldn't see Gent.

"Sister Letty, where's Ernissan?" asked Koto-kwan.

"Master Jean said he went for a walk in the neighborhood and hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid something will happen to him......" Letty was also anxious in her heart.

"Ernisan is in danger? No, I haven't become Ernissan's bride yet!"

"Don't be afraid, my sister is just guessing, I think it will be fine with the strength of Master Jean. ”

"But ......"

"That's it, my sister will send you home first, and then I'll go to your brother, okay?"

After having a promise in his heart, Qin Jian wiped away her tears, nodded, took Letty's hand and turned around and walked home.

At this moment, Letty has been worried about Jean's safety, and her heart has always felt panicked and scared, so she silently prayed for Jean, thinking that it would help him.

(Don't be fine...... Jean the host!)"

……

……

……

The earth trembled, the wind was cold, and the hail fell like a meteor shower with the cry of a woman.

The two of them, who were covered by the hail, kept running to save their lives, dodging the attack of the hail, and risked their lives to catch the tail of the counterattack in order to find a weak point.

Click——!

Jean swung his knife into the air and flew another block.

"Roar!"

Red Barbarian Qi spat out a laser cannon and blasted a row of hailstones in a straight line, breaking through the sky.

Although they all tried their best to resist the hail and rain, as if they were running out of magic, Heratis continued to unleash spells, and blizzards and hail rains came at Jean and the others again and again.

"This guy's magic shows no signs of waning...... We're going to be exhausted if we continue like this. With that, Gene swung his knife and flew a hailstone.

"Then what do you have to do?" Chi Manqi couldn't turn his head, so he could only ask while spitting out the barrage.

"Cut off the source of her mana so she can't use spells. ”

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to do! Do you know where her magic comes from?"

“……”

Gene looked closely at Heratis's body, but he couldn't see any strange features on her, but this observation made his attention drop. A hailstone hit him in the head.

"Jean!" Red Barbarian ran up behind Jean and summoned four heads around him.

"Injuries of this magnitude!uh......"

"Don't be reckless! If you are hit on the head by a hailstorm, you will die! Xin Hao, this hailstone is not so big, it will not be placed in your place of death, I will cover you, you treat the wound as soon as possible!"

"Nosy ......"

"Hey, hey, I'm not nosy now, I still have to rely on you to fight my way out of the encirclement, if you hang up here, I'll be killed by hail!"

"......Shh I owe you a personal favor this time. ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, I can't stand these hailstorms anymore!"

Jean hid behind the Red Man, pressed his head, and turned on the healing technique, the dim light healing the wound very slowly. At the same time, Jean suddenly heard the voice of a very gentle woman, coming from his own heart.

(Mr. Jean...... Mr. Jean?)"

(Are you ......?)"

(The concubine is Heratis, who talks to you through the spirit.) ）”

"(Through the Soul?!)" Gene had heard of a conversation with a soul for the first time.

(I'm really sorry that because of the relationship between the concubine's body, another soul in the concubine's body invaded the concubine's body when my willpower was weak, and that person was my sister...... ）”

Heratis's tone sounded low, as if he was feeling remorse for what had just happened.

(Your sister?...... It's not about that, how did you get connected to my soul, weren't you invaded by your sister's soul?"

(That being said...... Did you see that staff in my sister's hand?)"

"(You mean the staff?)" Jean looked at the ice staff that Heratis's sister was holding.

(Yes, my soul is sealed in that staff, and I only contacted you when your soul was fluctuating, otherwise I would have been repelled by the unknown power within you.) ）”

(I see...... ）”

(Your next step is to cut off my sister's source of magic, right?) ）”

(Hmm.) ）”

(To tell you the truth, I was born with endless magical powers, which is why neither humans nor youkai dare to be friends with me...... My sister took a fancy to me and secretly cast a spell in my staff, which would only be activated when my willpower was at its weakest, and that was the sealing magic. ）”

(In other words, your sister has released so many spells without consuming a single cent of her magic power, and it is also because of your magic power?)"

(Yes.) ）”

Knowing that the ice wand was the source of the mana, he knew it, but Gene still couldn't figure out how to cut off the source of the mana.

(The concubine has a good way, I wonder if I can help Mr. Jean?)"

(Say.) ）”

(The concubine body will create a momentary opportunity when you regain your senses, and at that time you will have to try to grasp this moment, and use your weapon to cut off the ice staff, and the concubine's soul will also be absorbed by your weapon, and my sister will no longer be able to use spells wantonly.) ）”

(But my Snow Maiden already has a soul?)

(It's okay, if you're lucky, my soul will be your favor, if you're unlucky...... My soul will dissipate, but it won't affect the fact that my sister will lose her source of magic. ）”

“（…… ）”

Heratis wanted to sacrifice himself, and although Jean tried to dissuade him, he felt that it was still in vain, and he couldn't live up to the kindness of others for the second time, right?

(Let's be a dead horse doctor!, I hope the Snow Maiden can have room for a second soul!)"

(I wish you success in advance.) ）”

Cutting off contact with Heratis, Jean recovered as soon as possible, the wound on his head had almost healed, and Red Manqi was sweating desperately firing a barrage. Looking at the ice staff, Jean was fully prepared, covering his aura was Jean's strong point, and he would not let up this time.

"This is the only chance that someone else has created for me by gambling their souls!"
