"Sister Sakura, can you tell me...... Did Mr. Nabar leave you anything? When it was time to say goodbye in the morning, Rusya, who had always been timid, finally couldn't help but whisper. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Huh? Yes! You see," I pulled out the leaf hanging around my neck from my chest, "it's a leaf, it's supposed to be a leaf of the World Tree, right?" But the specific role of my sister, I don't know, it should be related to the maid Xiao Di that Lacey has been looking for, right? I reckon. ”

Last night Rusya gave me the package that Mr. Nabal left with her (that is, when I met Nabar at Northridge, he told me the package he left for me here at Rusya), because Mr. Nabar had a very solemn expression when he took care of me when he came to pick it up, so I didn't open it in front of Rusya because I didn't trust Rusya! It's just that...... I just really don't want to disturb Rusya's quiet and dreamy life, really...... Don't want to. Because if the package contains something important related to Lacey, maybe the always sensitive Rusya will secretly cry there again, right? She's always been so weak, and of course, I didn't tell her about what I found in Northridge during this time. (Even though the connection to Lacey was so significant, I even met Lacey's ...... there Soul)

When I opened the package last night, I had no idea that the package that Mr. Nabal had left me was only a small leaf.

Verdant and dripping, but only a thin leaf the size of half a finger.

However, although this leaf is small, it is also full of veins, and it is very light to hold in the hand, but the hard texture easily reminds me of the jade pendant on Ruthya's chest, and the strange shape of the leaf. It is exactly the same as the leaves of the sand world tree that we saw during the divination of Kesir Shanan.

After that, I watched for a long time before finalizing. This leaf, although similar in texture, is definitely not carved from jade, it is a real leaf or a leaf of a real World Tree.

So small, perhaps, it's still the young leaves of the newly grown World Tree, right?

But...... How could Mr. Nabar have the leaves of the sacred tree of the elves?

What did he give me this?

I don't understand.

But because Mr. Nabal is the elder brother of the maid Xiao Di that Reis has been looking for, and when that bastard Xia Nan used divination to guide Reis, the sand on the table was also composed of the elven world tree, so this leaf must have some degree of relationship with Xiao Di, right?

Eventually, full of doubts, I made a decision: to string together the leaf and the badge on my chest, two people who would never see each other again. At least let them ......

"Oh! Then Lacey will be happy! Looking at the badges and leaves strung together, Rusya smiled with relief, "Sister Sakura...... Thank you! ”

However, behind this heartfelt relief. But with a little loss, but also with a little sadness.

"Fool!" I couldn't help but reach out and stroke Rusya's pale yellow hair, "Aren't you jealous?" You're so obsessed! ”

"How can I ...... And, Sister Sakura, aren't you too? This...... This...... That one...... That one......! Rusya muttered quietly. And then maybe you don't think you should say that, right? Immediately blushed. Momentarily at a loss, he stood there stupidly.

"Nothing! I know my sister," I sighed to myself, looking at Rusya, who was about to cry in a panic, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Rusya, can you come out for a walk when you have time?" Always alone in the forest, look, now I can't even speak! Fool! Isn't it lonely? ”

"I'm not lonely!" Rucia smiled knowingly and shook her head. With a happy expression, "I can be by his side." I'm really happy! There's so much to do every day! …… Before you know it, a day has passed! …… Sister Sakura, don't worry! I'm not going to be lonely here, so I don't have to go out...... And, and ......" Speaking of this, she suddenly lowered her eyes in a depressed mood, opened her mouth, and stopped talking.

"What? Are there any difficulties? Can you talk to my sister? ”

"En......" hesitated for a while, and Rusya finally spoke again, "En...... Actually, Sister Sakura, you know that...... I...... I'm a demon half-blood."

"Fool! You're a pretty human girl! No one will find out! As long as you don't say it yourself. ”

"But...... But I'll suck blood...... "Ruthia's mood grew lower, "and...... And lately, I've been holding myself back again...... I'm running out of medicine......"

Oh, I see.

No wonder she couldn't speak.

Lacey once told me that Rusya, as a demon half-breed, has bloodthirsty impulses from time to time, and the habit of sucking blood regularly, which has been wrapped around her like a curse, which is her sin and her pain.

In order to avoid hurting people, Rusya had been suffering in this forest hut every night before she met Lacey, and then she would regularly suck Lacey's blood, and when Lacey was away, she relied on the oriental medicine specially prepared by my master Bai Suiyun's father, Bai Boss, to restrain herself.

Now, the medicine is almost finished, but I remember that Boss Bai has prepared enough medicine for Rusya to take for five years? How can it be so fast?

"That's a pity, sister, I don't know how to prepare the oriental medicine......" After thinking about it for a while, I suggested, "Don't worry! That Bai Suiyun Gongzi is my sister, my Taoist master, and he is still on the mainland! One day I saw him and asked him to help me fill some more medicine! Other than that...... In addition, if you really can't help it, come and suck your sister's blood! ”

"Huh?"

"What? Don't want to?! I straightened my face, "I think my sister's blood is not as good as Lacey?!" ”

Rusya stood there for a while, and finally laughed at her: "Sister, you look like Lacey!" It's really a brother and sister! …… He's said something similar to me before! ”

"Huh? He also said? ”

"Yes!" Rusya nodded, "He used to blame me for not drinking his blood...... as she spoke, and her eyes began to turn red again.

Alas...... I remembered the past again.

I sighed again, trying to comfort her

"Sister Sakura, don't worry about me!" However, this time Rusya quickly perked up, "Don't worry! I'll hold back! I promised Lacey that I could only suck his blood...... So...... I'll hold back! ”

"Yes! Sister, I believe it! ”……

Kindness...... Do you want to go home first?

The two-week lonely journey has finally come to an end! If you don't count the two days of rest at Ruthya's, it should be a lonely journey of almost a month, right? A total of twenty-six days

Very lonely, very lonely journey.

It's also tiring.

Originally, I passed through the grasslands and forests that were inaccessible, and the family was a girl, and there were robbers everywhere in the country, so I didn't dare to take the initiative to go to a crowded place to spend the night.

It's all to blame on that dead Assa!

Originally, he set out from the Knights with him, and the people have always been very leisurely, but now they don't dare to sleep too well at night, alas.

Of course, there were many times when I was with Asa, and I didn't dare to sleep too soundly because I was worried about Asa's night attack...... But it's better than being alone in the wild right now.

And, and the most infuriating thing is that that dead pervert * is obviously fine, but he just doesn't come to me!

Hum! It's a bit of a fire!

That day, little Luca and I had just walked out of the cave with the secret chamber mausoleum, and we saw a charming humanoid ice sculpture lying reclining outside the cave, still looking very much like my naked ice sculpture! Behind the ice sculpture is a phrase made of giant ice cubes: "I'm safe, don't worry!" ”

Lose sleep over something? I'm worried! Dead perverted!

Even if we are worried that we don't believe in the messages that appear inexplicably, then there is no need to use this unique and perverted way of commenting, right? Disgusting to death!

After that, Nabal and Cokoloa were ready to continue their search, and I had to follow little Luca and Minia down the mountain to retrieve the store at the church after the holiday, and Lageris borrowed my mount, the white horse Yerti, and then went to Lucia to meet Lucia as Nabal instructed, and got the package left for me, which is the leaf of the world, and then ......

It was a lonely journey back to the cavalry station.

Alas.

It's really lonely......

The view on the plain is very open, and in the distance, you can already see the majestic imperial city.

Before you know it, there are more pedestrians on the road.

When I got to the fork in the road, I couldn't help but hesitate.

Ahead is the road leading to the Imperial City, where the Wind Riders are stationed.

A short walk to the left will lead to the town of Red Maple, which is called because there is a small hill near the town, and there is a large maple forest on the mountain, and the walled building at the foot of the town is my home.

It was also once the home of Lacey.

Kindness...... Anyway, the holiday isn't completely over yet, so why don't you go home and have a look first?

…… Besides, after going out for a few months, I actually lost the hero "Red-Eyed Meteor" (that is, Asala in disguise), I don't know how to explain it to my father!

Although my father doesn't blame me, once he finds out that Asa is missing, he must have a headache, right?

After all, the spring festival is coming soon, and as a hero who is supported by both nobles and commoners, how can you not attend the festival?

…… Even if, this "red-eyed meteor" is fake.

Les......

To be honest, seeing that the infatuated Rusya has been working hard to create a happy home for her and Lacey, people really feel sour in their hearts.

It's not jealous, but I always feel that I have a big gap with Ruthya.

Although she is cowardly, although timid, she still keeps trying, even now that Lacey has been dead for almost two years, she still has a dreamy infatuation.

I'm so envious...... (To be continued......)
