“…… That's it, and now because of something, Mistress Emilia is in a bad mood, and Count Rozval is gone. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

On the country road to the village of Alam, there are patches of crops on both sides, while Li Tong and Rem walk side by side.

"Something? So what is it? ”

Li Tong looked at Reem, who was shoulder-level with him, and Rem, who was asked about it, paused before saying what was going on here.

"It all started a few days ago, three days ago, there were people in the house with unknown symptoms, and so far, three people have been confirmed dead.

According to Mistress Beatrice, it was a curse, and the three people who died had one thing in common before they noticed their symptoms - that is, they were all found after returning from the village to buy ingredients.

That's why when it's Rem's turn today, Sister Ram wants to follow Rem. Although because of your arrival, my sister still did not follow. ”

Although the girl's tone was flat when she explained this, Li Tong still felt that it was really terrifying.

An unknown curse can silently kill people, and the victims only attack after returning from the village. Is there a problem in the village, or is it on the road between the village and the mansion?

"It seems like a big problem, but there's nothing you can do? Once you fall under the curse, will you die? ”

Li Tong continued to ask, he remembered Bai Lan's curse when he was in the sword, although he was safe in the end, but it seemed to cause Angel to fall asleep.

"Of course not, although the curse can kill people once it occurs, if the curse can be detected and lifted early, then there is no problem. But ......"

Rem vetoed Li Tong's speculation about the curse, and finally said in a tone that made Li Tong a little curious.

"But what?"

"The process of casting the curse is silent, and unless you know that you have been cursed, you will only understand it after the curse has occurred. Well, that's what Mistress Beatrice said. ”

The name "Beatrice" appeared in the girl's mouth for the second time, which made Li Tong ask: "I've always heard you say Beatrice, Beatrice, who is Beatrice?" ”

But this time, Rem didn't answer, and Li Tong looked up and found that their destination had arrived.

The village of Alam, the closest village to the mansion in the Rozval territory. The mansion is also here on weekdays to buy daily necessities and food.

As for Rozval, who is a border lord, he is a nobleman who owns several lands as territories. The village of Alam, which is very close to the house, is no exception, and the residents seem to know Rem for granted and greet them cordially.

Seeing Rem skillfully moving among the villagers, buying the food of each family, Li Tong couldn't intervene, so he stayed in the middle of the village, and his eyes fell on Rem's busy body.

After all, after listening to what Rem said about the incident in the mansion, Li Tong didn't dare to take it lightly, maybe the person who secretly cursed was hidden in this group of villagers.

Staying where he was, Li Tong suddenly felt that the corners of his clothes were being pulled, and the laughter of a group of children was in his ears.

She turned around and found five children clustered behind her, led by a mischievous boy. And it was the boy who was pulling the corner of Li Tong's clothes just now, and when he saw Li Tong turn around, he asked with a hippie smile: "Is the big sister a new maid?" I haven't seen you before! ”

"Nope! No, I'm the one who came to visit that house. ”

Li Tong hurriedly denied it, but it seemed that the children didn't care about her answer and began to circle around her.

"Then big sister can play with us for a while, you're okay anyway, aren't you?"

Li Tong is not good at dealing with children, just look at Yui, so he had to raise his hands and agree.

So the children cheered and started the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" proposed by the leading child, and of course Li Tong is the "Eagle"!

"Giggles! Get me! ”

"Giggles! Can't catch me! ”

"Wow! I'm coming! ”

After playing with the children for a while, grabbing a child to "ravage" her to the fullest, and enjoying the privilege of being an "eagle", Li Tong suddenly found them playing on the side, near the forest, under the big tree, a girl with brown pigtails was holding a gray puppy and staring at them.

"Who is she?"

Seeing that Li Tong stopped, the children also stopped fleeing, and when they saw the girl, they shouted excitedly: "It's Mei Li, and her puppy." ”

"Well, you know each other. Merry, do you want to play together? ”

Li Tong sent out an invitation, she didn't mind having such a cute little girl join in at all, and she would have to "take care" of this little girl for a while, well! She's definitely not a pervert!

But Li Tong's idea was rejected by a child, and it was the boy who began to take the lead.

"No, I don't want to play Eagle Catch Chick anymore, Big Sister is too good. I want to cuddle Melly's puppy, is that okay? Merry. ”

As soon as the boy's voice came out, it aroused the approval of the other children. Seeing Mei Li nod timidly, the children cheered and came to Mei Li's side. The boy was the first to run, and to his astonished gaze, Merry handed him the puppy.

"Wow! So cute, puppy, Wang! Woof! ”

"So cute! I want to hug too! ”

"Me too! Me too! ”

Looking at the puppy that attracted the attention of all the children, Li Tong gritted his teeth. Forget about the three boys, but counting that Merry, the three little Loli should have been held in her arms by her "eagle"! Don't talk to me about lolicon, is there a gendarmerie here!

"Big sister! You can cuddle the puppy too, it's cute! ”

Li Tong, who was attracted to the dog by Lori, suddenly heard a crisp Loli sound, which was one of the little girls. It seemed that she was the last person to hold the puppy, and then she suddenly thought that such a cute puppy would also be shared with her big sister, so she shouted at Li Tong.

"Huh? I...... Me? ”

To be honest, Li Tong has no interest in this puppy, what is the half of its head, the broken horn? Is it different to even a dog in another world?

"Alright then, I'll hug you."

In the end, Li Tong was still defeated in the eyes of the children's expectations, are all children like this? I like something, and I want to be recognized by others.

Walking over, the puppy was already back in Merry's arms. Seeing Li Tong coming over, Mei Li hugged the puppy and carefully handed it to Li Tong.

Hawkers! I didn't expect it to be quite comfortable to the touch, this puppy.

Taking over the puppy, Li Tong admired the puppy's feel. At this time, there was a slight touch in his hand, and then the puppy let out a scream and flew out of Li Tong's hand.

Under the surprised gaze of the children, the puppy ran into the forest with a wail.

This is?

Before Li Tong could think about it, all this had already happened. When the children heard the puppy barking and ran away, they immediately thought that Li Tong had done something.

"Right...... I'm sorry, I'll get the puppy back right away. ”

Finding the children's eyes and Mei Li who was about to cry, Li Tong didn't think much about it, so he also followed the direction of the puppy's escape and entered the forest.
