"Kashi."

What the...... Sound? How does it feel like being separated by a wall, and I can't hear what is being said.

Oh, the voice is getting louder, this voice is so familiar, who is it?

I shook my eyelids and struggled to open them, feeling a little light and something dark...... What is it, how is it pressed on my chest, so heavy...... Oh, he still licked my face with something, and his face was wet.

Wait, what is this thing doing.

I woke up suddenly, Ai God, what did I see? A face magnified several times, a pair of light green eyes, and ...... A tongue attached to the bullet mark on my left shoulder.

The owner of the tongue seemed to be struggling with the scar, his expression looked very confused, as if he was wondering why the bullet mark was so deep, he saw that I was awake, tilted his head and pointed at the bullet mark: "Moda? He continued to lick his sticky tongue.

"Shi, what are you doing?" I called out the name of the man in front of me, his saliva had a watery smell, and while it wasn't unpleasant, I didn't like to have other people's mouth secretions on my face.

Shi said a bunch of things like pouring beans that I didn't understand, and I looked so nervous that I watched it for a while before I realized that he was asking me why I had this scar. I shook my head, didn't tell him the truth, I pushed away his head pressed against my chest, only to find that his hands were around my waist, and the whole person was almost glued to my body.

"Kashi?"

"Release, let me go." I struggled to break free from his arms, and I thought this prank of experiencing his secretions was over, but before I could see a chill in my back, as if some slippery liquid was sticking to it.

I didn't dare to think about what it was, so I took a deep breath and touched my back with nausea, only to pull off a clear, solidified piece of liquid...... Oh, and there's a familiar watery smell on it.

"Release," I chested up, trying to keep my voice calm, "I need an explanation. ”

"Moda?" Shi blinked, grabbed my arm, and licked the wound on my arm. Covered in a wet, transparent liquid, the liquid formed a thin film, and the wound slowly healed.

Surprised, I withdrew my hand and touched it, the wound had scabbed over and the pain was gone. So he was just using saliva to help me heal? That's why you want to try to make my scars go away?

"Wata." Shi nodded and gave me the answer.

It seems that I misunderstood him, although the liquid is indeed a little disgusting, but now that we are fleeing, it is the best thing to heal the wound as much as possible: "Thank you." ”

He immediately slapped the fishtail energetically and circled me with pleasure.

But then again, I don't remember when I had a back injury.

I remember going to find water, there was a fight with the "LS" group, and then I separated from March, and I went back to the tree hole to wait for March, after which I ...... Wait, what happened after that?

I frowned and thought about it, but I couldn't remember it at all.

It's like there's a fault in my memory, what happened when I got back to the hollow of the tree, and how I fell asleep, I have no memory at all.

With that, I suddenly remembered that he had been injured in the head at the time, and now what about him?

"Kasha Kasha."

The fishtail rubbing against his leg dispelled my nervousness, and his head had no electricity, and he arched his head into my arms very energetically, and licked me while I was not looking.

"Release, please don't do this." I pushed away and tried to lick it again, and to be honest, I was grateful that he helped me with my treatment, but I couldn't accept the licking behavior out of liking: "I don't really like your behavior." I mean, please pause your licking compared to this...... The way to express your like, I would prefer you to replace it with a friendly hug...... Sky. As soon as I finished speaking, a force almost suffocated my body was received, and at the same time, a hairy head rested on my shoulder, rubbing happily against me.

Wait, when did Shi grow to my shoulder height, I remember yesterday he was only up to my chest. In order to be sure that it was not my delusion, I also deliberately lowered my head to measure the height of the release, and I was surprised to find that his hair and fish tail had become a little longer, and if I looked closely, even his appearance had become a lot more mature.

"Shi, how long has it been since I fell asleep?"

Shi blinked and raised a finger: "Yi Nai." ”

"So, what happened when I got back to the tree hole? Like what...... How did you grow up overnight? "I suddenly had a bad feeling that something must have happened before I fell asleep, and it happened to be forgotten by me.

"Moda?" Shi shook the fishtail back and forth, looking dazed and ignorant.

I repeated my question again.

"Kashi, Iwaka?" Shi's fishtail wagged more comfortably, and he arched his head into my arms again, holding me with both hands and rubbing it constantly, like a puppy who hadn't seen his owner for a long time and wagged his tail happily.

I pushed him away. Forget it, Sals, Sha is just a kid who doesn't understand anything, and you can't expect him to give you a scientific explanation, just as when we were young, we didn't understand why we were taller, did we? Now, as long as he's okay.

I looked around blankly, it was the hollow in the tree where we had been, and it looked like it was before we left, if we ignored the strange smell in the air, of course.

Yes, there was a strange smell in the air that didn't belong to wood, like a mixture of blood and something, but the smell loomed, and almost as soon as it was smelled, it disappeared.

I'm sure something must have happened in a time when I don't have a memory.

"I'll go out and have a look."

I walked out of the hollow of the tree, I thought I would see at least a few blood stains, but no, the soil under my feet was very clean, as if it had not been moistened by rain for many days, and it even cracked dry. There were no signs of a fight around, and the trees were swaying straight in the wind.

A shattered image passed through my mind, no, it shouldn't be like this, there should be corpses here, there should be blood.

"Kashi."

The familiar cry sounded from behind, and I turned back to see the relief crawling out of the hollow of the tree and slowly moving to my feet.

I subconsciously said, "Shi, aren't you going to go?" After saying that, I was stunned, I didn't have legs that could walk, why did I think he could walk? It seems that there is a mermaid in my memory, walking by the swing of the fish's tail.

I woke up in a jolt and looked at me with a worried expression.

I shook my head: "Sorry to worry you, I'm fine." By the way, did you see March back? He shook his head regretfully, and my heart couldn't help but tighten, March hadn't been back for a day, maybe something had happened, I couldn't wait any longer, I had to go to him.

"Listen, listen, I need to find March, can you stay here and guard the hollow of the tree? You know, March could come back at any moment, and you're not able to walk, so it's dangerous to go out with me. ”

Reluctantly, I kept shaking my head, pitifully tugging at my sleeve, the fishtail wrapping my feet a little tighter, and I could feel the unevenness of almost every scale.

It took me a lot of effort to convince him that he would let me go.

I watched him honestly return to the hollow of the tree before going in the direction we had left yesterday to find March.

However, I soon stopped.

Something dishonest eventually followed, and even though he was some distance away from me, the sound of the bushes shaking as he crawled caught my attention.

I turned around and saw a blue shadow shrinking under a large tree. Probably seeing that I didn't react for a long time, the blue shadow secretly showed half of his face from behind the trunk of the tree, and happened to meet my gaze, and he immediately hid behind the tree in fright.

I walked over and pulled him out, and he was still humming dissatisfied, and his aggrieved eyes seemed to blame me for why I wanted to find him.

I really wanted to tell him that his fishtail was so big that he couldn't even hide the grass, and his shiny scales even refracted in the sunlight, so I couldn't ignore its existence.

"Didn't I leave you in the hollow?" How bad it would have been if he hadn't stayed in the hollow and March had come back and not seen us. For this reason, my tone was a little stiffer.

His eyes widened in fright, his ear fins drooped down, and his eyes were like a stream of clear water, reflecting the reproach in my gaze quite thoroughly, and then the stream gathered into a river, and condensed into tears and slid down his face.

God, he actually cried.

"Man, why are you crying?" I looked at his sobbing face in amazement, wiped away his tears helplessly, and tried to make my voice softer, but I didn't expect his tears to pour out more.

"Kashi...... Don't lose ......" He wiped his tears and gestured to me very clumsily: he was afraid that I would leave him.

For a moment, I was suffocating in pain like a bullet through my heart, and the guilt of accusing him almost filled me. Sals, you only think of March, but you forget that he is just a child and he needs to be taken care of by adults.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have left you." As a sign of my apology, I gave him a big hug and gently patted him on the back.

Shi raised his head in confusion and looked at me with tears in his eyes: "Moda? ”

My heart was completely crushed by his tears, I walked up to him and squatted down, sighing: "Come up, I'll carry you with me." ”

Shi immediately regained his spirits, and was so excited that he slid onto my back like a loach, and let out a high-pitched cry of excitement.

I gave him a look, and just as I was about to leave, I felt something cold slip over my arm, and it was stretching down my arm, and it seemed to be my hand.

"Dude, what are you doing?" I looked back and saw that Shi's webbed claws were sliding in the direction of my hand, "You want to ...... Pull my hand? I thought for a few seconds and asked him what he meant.

"Wata." Shi's ear fins rubbed my ears intimately and nodded.

I sighed, "Can you hold my neck?" You know, you've got mucus on you, and if you don't put your arms around my neck, you're going to slide down in no time. ”

"Iwaka." He whispered something I didn't understand, as if he was very unhappy, rubbed it on my neck, and finally honestly withdrew his hand and wrapped it around my neck.

When I saw that he was settled, I held my back to him and quickened my pace to find March.

However, after most of the day, we found nothing, March's wheel was broken in the middle of the road, we completely lost the clue, and searched for a long time in the vicinity, but found no trace of March.

We stumbled back the way we came, thinking that maybe March was already waiting for us in the hollow of the tree.

However, it was just my naïve thought, and just as we were about to head back to the tree hole, the ground shook with imperceptible amplitude.
