The fog in the early morning is very thick, sticky like glue, and white like snow.

Straight into the cylindrical cavern of the mountain, the fire that had been lit last night was now a little unextinguished dark red.

Galadia was ready to wait until the fog cleared a little before setting off, as it would have been very uncomfortable to walk in the cold and wet morning fog, but when she tried to light the fire again, she found that she seemed to be dragging something on the right side of her body.

Looking over, it was a woman in a black leotard who was still asleep.

Alicia.

Speaking of which, why would you agree to let the doll of this organization sleep on your shoulder?

Probably because she was so pitiful last night.

……

Since discovering the body of Alicia's agent, Galadia and Elum have traveled east to find the missing NO.1.

Fortunately, she sensed the target's demonic aura soon after, and it should be that she felt safe herself, so she didn't take the secret medicine anymore.

When she found Alicia, she was standing on a barren rocky mountain, standing straight and covered with a black suit that was different from that of ordinary warriors.

Those cold eyes without any emotional fluctuations made Galadia feel uncomfortable in her heart.

As if there was something urgent, after checking that there was no "damage" in Alicia, Erumeda gave the task and hurried to the east.

The mission is for Galadia to escort Alicia back to the Order.

When you are a babysitter? This guy who looks like a carved puppet, as long as she is given the task of returning to the organization, she will definitely execute it meticulously and perfectly.

But in the end, Galadia carried out the task.

Although on the first day, she was disgusted that Alicia had not been cleaned for many days, so she pushed her into the nearby lake.

The water was not deep enough to submerge Alicia's waist, but when she rose from the water, she walked as if unconscious to the shore where Galadia stood.

Then it was pushed into the water again.

"Wash yourself, at least the mud off your clothes." Galadia had a cold face, she didn't treat it as her own kind at all, and she didn't hide the irrepressible faint disgust for this NO.1 in her heart.

In Alicia, she saw an unabashed reality. Whether they have themselves or not, they are actually dolls and tools in the hands of the organization, and they are the type that can be thrown away when they are used up. Although she had long understood the harsh truth, Alicia's presence was like a constant reminder that she was just a tool that the organization could discard at any time.

NO.1, who fell into the water again, did not come back this time, she understood what Galadia meant, reached out to untie the black armor and tights on her body, and washed it hastily in the water.

Picking up a handful of clear lake water with both hands and sprinkling it on the young body, which also showed signs of hideous surgery, Alicia's bathing action was awkward and repeated.

"Not even such a thing."

Helpless, Galadia waded to Alicia's side, and the palm that brushed the water brought up a splash and gently landed on Alicia's thin left forearm.

"Hurry up and finish washing, it's still a long way to get back to the organization from here."

As soon as the words fell, Galadia saw that there seemed to be a stunned emotion in Alicia's eyes.

Illusion?

A hand suddenly reached over and rested on Galadia's left shoulder, and then only a slight click was heard, and the shoulder armor on her left shoulder was removed by Alicia......

"Together."

Kindness? Galadia was puzzled.

Before leaving, Arumida explained a little bit about the situation of the two twins who had been carefully cultivated by the organization, they should be like two dead things without self, and they might be able to communicate simply, but the sentence "together" just now seemed to have feelings that she shouldn't have.

Hope is an illusion.

I wanted to get a closer look at what was going on with this NO.1, so Galadia didn't stop Alicia's movements, and the warrior in front of her, who was several years younger than herself, was taking off her clothes one by one.

It wasn't until the hands were so skillful that they began to wash themselves that Galadia realized why she was in this situation.

Alicia also has a twin sister, Bissy. In order to train them, the organization should let the two live together all the time, train together, eat together, sleep together and even bathe together.

So she can't bathe herself, but she's pretty skilled at washing others......

Although her smooth, greasy skin barely needed to be washed, Alicia still meticulously caressed Galadia's body, and she was almost close to the other in her shorter height.

Soon, Galadia felt a little strange, and the child didn't seem to shy away.

She pressed Alicia's hand in time and removed it.

"Don't move, I'll wash you." Her voice was still cold, but even she didn't realize that her tone was much better than last time.

Perhaps the work of the organization has not yet been done to the extreme, but she still has a bit of self-awareness, although she is as weak as an ignorant baby......

Like most greatswords, Galadia chose to spend the night in a cave.

Naturally, Alicia, who was with her, would also spend the night in the cave.

When Galadia picked up enough dead branches and returned to the cave, she found Alicia leaning against the angular wall of the cave in her awkward position.

How can you rest well in this way.

Picking out one of the sticks she had picked up, she cut out a long, vertical plank that she plunged into the ground side by side with her silver broadsword.

"Come here, even if you lose your big sword, don't rest like this."

But despite this, in the middle of the night, Galadia could always feel that Alicia was not resting, and from time to time, her eyes would fall on her.

It's really disturbing to dream, Galadia is a little irritable with Alicia's sleepless behavior late at night.

It wasn't until the third night, looking at Alicia's increasingly tired appearance, that Galadia couldn't help frowning and asked her beside her, "Have you never slept all the time?" ”

"Sister."

“……”

The distance between the great sword and the long plank crept closer, and the night grew gentler in this corner of the cave.

So Galadia didn't choose to rush in the thick fog of the early morning, and the defenseless, still sleeping guy on her shoulder opened her mouth slightly like a baby.

There was a slight smile on her lips.

……

There are a lot of pedestrians on the streets, and it is the beginning of another lively day.

A handsome young man with a huge sword box on his back is asking a street vendor about something.

He was shrouded in a handsome and wide black cloak from the neck down, and after asking to no avail, he was still undeterred to ask the same question to a vendor at another stall not far away.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for my brother, have you seen a young man with a sword in the neighborhood?"
