"yes." The proprietress replied in the affirmative, and then said to the girl in front of her with a surprised expression, "Has little Ellie finally started to care about me?" ”

The girl was asked a blush, "That...... Sorry ......"

"Hehe, just kidding. In fact, my husband died very early, leaving only this meat stall behind. Although I am a little tired, because of this butcher shop, my family also has financial resources, so I will not be depressed. The proprietress had a look of remembrance.

"You made all this meat with your own hands, aren't you afraid, I mean...... Kill those ...... Animal ......"

"Scared? At first, I had to do it for the sake of survival and my child, who was only three years old and his father had already left him, and I didn't want him to suffer with me. ”

"Auntie is really strong......"

"Hehe, yes, that's also forced by life. Why did little Ellie say this all of a sudden? Anything bothered? ”

"No...... No, I just think that my aunt is very powerful, if it were me, I wouldn't dare to do it......" Ellie said with a palpitation.

"Well, after all, I was scared the first time. Because I was very young at the time, it took me a lot of genius to make up my mind to go under the knife, and I cried in shame in the end. Hehe, now that I think about it, I was really funny at that time. ”

"There is no such thing, Auntie is very brave."

"yes, thank you little Ellie for the compliment." Listening to Ellie's words, the proprietress smiled on her face.

……

After saying goodbye to the proprietress and Ellie bought some other ingredients from other shops before returning to her dormitory.

Pushing open the door, in the hall, Catherine was sitting on the couch watching her favorite magic show. Hearing the door open and seeing that it was Ellie who had returned, she no longer paid attention to the magic vision, but looked at the girl with concern on her face.

"Ellie......" Catherine stood up and looked at the haggard girl, her brow furrowed.

She knew what had happened to the girl, but the game was voluntary, and she couldn't blame Bill for them. The girl's appearance made her feel distressed, and her only hope was that the girl could be strong and overcome this difficulty by herself.

"I'm fine."

Ellie shook her head and told Catherine not to worry. She walked into the dining room and sat down on the chair she usually sat on, the ingredients were set aside, and the girl was stunned.

Catherine approached the girl with concern, wanting to ask about her physical condition, but was interrupted by the girl's words before she could speak.

"Sister Catherine, are you all so strong...... It's going to be much braver than I am, I'm a little ...... No...... I also want...... Do something that everyone can admire......"

Ellie lowered her head and looked at the hem of her dress. Catherine did not speak, but pulled a chair aside and sat down in front of the girl. For the girl's actions, she gave silent encouragement.

After a while, the girl stood up, looked at Catherine as if she had made up her mind, covered her chest with her hands, took a few deep breaths, picked up the bag of ingredients, and walked firmly into the kitchen.

When I came to the board, the kitchen, which I hadn't been to for a few days because of this incident, actually seemed a little unfamiliar. It's that I'm too useless, and the cooking skills I've always been proud of have become fragile under that illusory scene, and I don't even dare to step into the kitchen again.

The magical light of his hands dissipated, and he lifted the gloves he had been relying on, showing his determination. The hand slowly reached for the bag, but when it touched the blood-stained surface, it involuntarily flinched, trying to restrain the trembling of the body, and finally, the fingers stubbornly covered the bright red flesh.

Slippery liquid stains fingertips, that's ......

Blood, it's blood, a lot of blood......

Good...... Terrible......

The sudden fear made the girl gasp sharply, as if the air around her was avoiding her, and she barely fell down when she pressed her hand on the board, but even then she didn't let go of what she was holding. She doesn't want to change back to the fragile way she was before, she doesn't want to give up again, and she doesn't want to become a weak person in the eyes of others. So...... Let's do it for yourself......

Time passed little by little, maybe it was the relationship that I got used to, and my breathing gradually stabilized, but my hands were still shaking. Without changing his mind because of this, the magic power of his right hand surged, and a lightsaber appeared in his hand, slowly trembling and taking out the piece of flesh that was dripping with blood, and gently cutting it off......

"Shhh But she cut off a piece of the meat.

Ignoring the bleeding wound, the girl looked at the piece of flesh in her palm, the scarlet color made her tremble, as if there was a voice in her head roaring, right away! Immediately! Throw it away! His hands were still shaking, and in his palms was evidence of the disappearance of a life.

"When man dies, he becomes the nourishment of the earth, the plants live on the nutrients of the earth, the animals eat the plants to replenish the needs of the body, and the man hunts the animals and turns them into a delicious meal."

"We eat other creatures to replenish ourselves, on the contrary, if we die we will also be eaten by other creatures, that's it, that's the law of the world"

Cassius and Al's words echoed in their minds.

Eating life and living is an immutable law, and it is inevitable if you want to live.

My heart hurts, I feel painful for such a reality, but I want to live and be with everyone......

The next moment, even Catherine did not expect such a move from the girl.

Holding the bright red piece of flesh in both hands, the girl bit on it, the toughness of the flesh made the girl's teeth tear, and the fishy smell made her nause, and she wanted to throw it away immediately. The will of the brain commanded it to swallow, but its throat twitched and it wanted to spit out the lump of meat, and its hands refused to send it into its mouth. The unpalatable raw meat was in her mouth, and the smell of blood took over the girl's mind for a moment.

Yes, I can! Everyone is so strong, then, I will be the same, definitely! Didn't Cialis also have such a determination, her body underwent such a change, but she endured it alone, obviously ...... The body is out of your control, isn't it...... But Hylis can face it strongly, look it in the face. What right do I have to be cowardly?

Accepting such a fate is not to accept defeat, but to defeat it in a bright way!

Well, so can I! You can accept it, you can go beyond it.

I'm sorry for the lives I have eaten, and I pray here that you will rest in peace in the world after death.
