Chapter 163: Desert Nation (4)
"Ellie?"
“…… Let me sleep a little longer..."
It seemed as if she was talking in her sleep, and there was really no one around, and the two maids were already resting in the room near the entrance.
The room was quiet, whispering, but it wasn't so loud.
"I have something to tell you, wake up."
“………”
This time there was no answer, but the other party picked up the mat and directly covered his head, and then let the other party say anything, and did not agree.
“…… Are you really planning to be a little girl who has nothing to do with the world these days? ”
“… Shut up... Who knows you've developed a conditioned reflex......"
With a yawn, Ellie got up from the pile of mats, and the first thing she did was look at her legs, which seemed to be doing well, and it was only a matter of a day or two when she reached her knees.
Then, with a tilt of her head, she arranged the mat a little, as if someone were lying in it, and when she had done so, she opened a gap and swallowed herself.
Xiaobai was sitting inside, watching her crawl in in a daze, and said to her in the same flat tone as just now.
"Well... Conditioning is also a good thing, at least when faced with some problems, you will not be at a disadvantage. ”
"I just hope I don't look like this when I go back...... I can't get rid of my mother's habits... How can it be like this in a few days when I get here..."
"I thought in the current situation, you would call her Shenqi..."
She gave Ellie a strange look, but then calmed down.
"Forget it, I don't care about the title, anyway, this body is yours, I don't care.
As for the reason you just asked, it should be that you are really relieved.
There aren't many humans here who can hurt you. ”
"You don't have to explain it to me...... That's not what you're waking me up in the middle of the night. ”
She opened a gap, looked at the sky outside, and looked back to this side.
"That piece of paper told me that you could almost go back."
"Huh? When? It's going to take me a while to get my legs grow. ”
Finally, Ellie added.
“… Why didn't it tell me? ”
"Because it's going to talk to us now, and it's going to be both of you."
After hearing this, Ellie closed all the gaps and looked at the brilliant starry sky.
"Speak, stationery, we're both here."
"I've always been there."
The voice that had not been listened to for a long time echoed, and Xiaobai also followed Erli to look at the countless shining points of light in the sky.
"Just trying to test,
See if you tame the presence in your body.
It seems, it's not bad.
I just don't know if she's a demon or a human.
Or are they the two?
I think she should have told you,
It's almost time to leave.
When you're ready, feel free to leave.
Just say a word to me, real newborn demon.
However, you can also explore the world for a good time.
Maybe you'll come back later,
A lot of interesting things happen because of you.
See you soon, Demon. ”
"I think a lot of things happen because of him."
Erli turned her head and looked at Xiaobai, the other party was still indifferent, as if nothing had anything to do with her.
"Who knows?"
Still the same indifferent mantra, Erli scratched her hair, and then suddenly thought of something and asked Xiaobai.
"Where's Blackie? It's been a long time since I've seen her. ”
"What, you have this fetish?"
“…… You're still kidding... It's really rare. ”
Instead of saying anything because of the other party's content, Erlie became interested in what she said, after all, this cold self had never spoken like this.
"It's just a little bit of interest once in a while..."
Seeing that it didn't work, she turned her face away, as if she wasn't very satisfied.
"As for her, I haven't seen her for four or five days.
And when I asked her something before, most of them didn't respond to me.
It looks like it's blending in nicely, so you can rest assured. ”
"I just want to see if I'll be the same when I see her now... After all, if something like this happens, I'm afraid I'll be miserable. ”
Erli, who was sitting on the ground, looked at her legs, and Xiaobai also looked at them, then closed her eyes and said slowly.
"That can't be, she's also a part of your body.
When you face her, you are afraid, not because of the safety of your life, but because when you see her, you will think of the coercion of being a demon.
It's just that the fear you bring to others is all pressed on you when you are in your state of mind.
Don't you think, Ellie, that nothing can compare to the fear that this event brings? ”
She didn't look up, just looked at the thigh bone that had come out first, it looked a little oozing, and it was eerily reminiscent of a treated chicken leg.
"She's been my nightmare for days, little white.
If there's anything else that can cause fear, I think it's that the purple ones will leave me one by one......... Xiaobai? ”
Ellie looked up, but there was nothing left but herself, the brilliant and empty universe.
"You should go back, Ellie."
Xiaobai's voice did not appear, but her voice.
Without questioning, she immediately put herself back with the gap, thanks to her own learning gap, just say that now, how to go back quietly is really a problem.
The blankets and mats that I had just set up happened to give myself a cover.
“……”
Frankny held a long jug, the center of which was lamp oil and a faint flame, not very bright, probably for fear of disturbing the guests.
It seems that she has just replaced Konar, after all, if you have to keep vigil, it is really difficult to keep an eye on it alone. In case she falls asleep, Elle will have trouble going to the toilet or something.
However, after walking around, she checked the house, and illuminated Elle with candlelight, and it seemed that the other party was sleeping soundly, and she was still holding a soft cushion in her arms, as if she was holding her parents.
The gentle breathing was steady, and it didn't look like I had any nightmare or anything, just fell asleep so peacefully.
"Lovely kid ......"
With a slight sigh, she left the place, after all, if she was here, it would definitely affect Erli's sleep.
It seems that whatever task His Majesty has given her, if she is not in a good state tomorrow, it will not be a good thing for His Majesty and Alabastan.
Soon, she went out with the candlelight, and it was only then that Ellie opened her eyes and looked at the huge shadow cast on the wall by the candlelight.
"It's dangerous...... But.
It seems that Konar didn't come to check before, right? ”
After a brief thought, Elle gave up and adjusted her position to lie more comfortably on the bed.
"Well...... Just a human being... Anyway, it won't hurt me..."
After muttering a word, she really fell asleep.
