Chapter 19: The Winner Is King
“… Wow~..."
Erli was carried into the house, which was not big and the decoration was simple.
a stone with a flat surface, which acts as a table; A chair-like tree root, with an unknown amount of fur on the seat.
In the corner, too, there was a thick piece of wood, a gap had been dug out, and there were straw, animal skins, and the like on it.
Well, it's made of wood.
What illuminates the house is still a tree, and a dozen branches grow out of the house, emitting a pale blue light.
Ellie even felt that it was enough light for her to read before, it was too bright.
"You sit here first, and I'll adjust the illusion.
The demonic power in the flower field has almost been absorbed by me, and now I have to guide it. ”
Yuuka put Erri on the root of the tree and walked out of the house.
“… Hmm..."
The latter didn't say much, nodding his head in understanding.
At this time, she also checked her body.
Physically, there is nothing.,Repeatedly use demonization.,Repair wounds.。 But the mental consumption is too great, and without more than ten days of rest, it is impossible to recover to his best state.
The tormenting voice echoed in the brain, and there was an inexplicable sense of detachment.
It seems that the magic is not enough, and this time it is really desperate.
There's no way to call Purple over, so I'll have to talk about it tomorrow.
"Ahh I'm so hungry..."
After a day of fighting, I didn't eat anything, and now my blood and brain are completely cold, and my normal desires return to me.
There is a Jingyue knife in the space, and half a bag of raw rice.
She stayed by herself and took out the money she had received little by little, and saved half a bag of rice, just in case the two of them had no food to save one day, which could still withstand for a while.
Looks like I'll have to cook it myself.
But... Can I stand up now?
Like an old woman, she staggered to her feet. The moment she stood up, she was so dizzy that she grabbed the roots of the tree again so that she wouldn't fall.
“…… That's a problem..."
Sitting still, she stroked her hair with her slightly trembling hand to straighten her head.
I'm so hungry, but... I can't walk!
Youxiang-sama, you'd better come back soon, I'll starve to death inside!
Don't you need to eat?! Don't be so hospitable!
Tired, paralyzed, hungry girl, waiting for Kazami Yuka's return.
……
How did you die, oh, starvation.
There are quite a few people who starve to death in this era.
Why did you starve to death?
……
The night has set, and the stars continue to function as the sun, and then guide the animals in the night.
However, Ellie had already seen the Grim Reaper talking to her, albeit in her own head.
"Yuxiang... Sister? … Aren't you okay yet..."
She was really a little desperate, and shouted outside in a voice that was so hungry that she could still keep her glutinous voice.
About two hours had passed, and Ellie had been sitting in that chair, patiently waiting for Yuka. But the wait was too long, and she decided to find Yuka herself.
The magic slowly recovered with rest, and it didn't affect standing, but walking was still a serious problem.
Holding on to the log wall, she stumbled out.
“……”
The fragrance of the moonlight stood quietly in the courtyard, and green vines from nowhere, emerging from the soil, wrapped around her legs and arms, and lay down together.
The sunflowers in the flower field did not move slowly to the east, but went straight to the wind to see the fragrance, as if bathed in the moonlight, faintly shining she is the sun.
"Huh...?"
As soon as Ellie went out, Yuka turned her head to Ellie. I looked at her haggard appearance, looked up at the sky again, and understood what was happening.
So, the former just nodded, and the entangled vines withdrew into the soil. The sunflowers in the flower field also turned to the east, and the fragrance fell steadily to the ground, and the clothes seemed to be repairing when they were channeling the demonic power.
“… Sister Yuxiang? What are you doing? ”
"As I said, I'm channeling life force and demonic power into the flower field.
It also replenishes my own demonic power and repairs the scars in my body.
… But what are you doing here? ”
Looking at Erli, who was leaning against the wall and her feet were limp, Yuka asked.
“… uh..."
When asked like this, the former was embarrassed to say why he came out. However, after all, being hungry is more important than face, so Erli said writhingly.
“… Here you are... Is there anything to eat?
If not... Can I make a fire in the center of the yard?
I'm so hungry and a little uncomfortable..."
"Huh? You... Still need to eat?
Such strength should not be needed. ”
But Yuxiang is a little strange, thinking that powerful monsters don't need to eat. They use their demonic power to coordinate their bodies, and nothing will happen if they are hungry for more than ten years.
"I'm not you... Sister Yuxiang... You just get outside in the sun... The replenishment of demonic power is not a problem for you at all..."
Elle, who tried to get up and walk, fell to the ground after taking two steps.
"Ahh!!hh … Leave that a question aside... Is there anything to eat? ”
She began to give up on herself, and she lay on the ground and didn't move.
Look ahead like a salted fish.
“…… Nope..."
The effect on the salted fish attribute is outstanding, and Erli takes 102 attribute damage.
Erlie can't get up again.
The harsh reality defeated Ellie, and now she is completely transformed into a salted fish in the posture of a salted fish
“…… But, firewood or something, I can help you.
What do you look like...... Is it really needed? ”
"Ahh Yes, I just ask Sister Yuxiang to help me get them right..."
His face was buried directly in the ground, as if he had given up thinking.
Seeing Erli like this, Yuxiang couldn't help but laugh.
"Cute little kid."
Here's what she said about Ellie.
……
……
……
Knock knock knock.
The porridge in the jar was constantly boiling, and two simple clay bowls were placed next to the fire.
Yuka finds a lot of branches and gives them all to Ellie. The latter spent a lot of time setting up the campfire himself, because Yuka didn't know how to put the fuel in place, so he simply piled it up and prepared to light it directly.
Luckily, Erli saw it, otherwise the porridge would have to wait a little longer to make it.
"Looks like it's almost there, Sister Yuxiang."
"Hmm."
She took out some rice, added more water, and prepared to cook some porridge to eat.
Yuka simply wants to join in the fun, because now she doesn't need to eat to stay alive.
Now that the porridge was almost ready, Erli asked Yuxiang to pour the porridge into two bowls.
It's a very ordinary white rice porridge, and there are no steamed buns and pickles, so you can only drink it alone.
For Erlie now, that's secondary. The main thing is, these are not enough to feed themselves.
Yuxiang blew the heat of the porridge and took a sip slowly.
I didn't make any comments, because it was just ordinary porridge. She wasn't as hungry as Ellie was, so she took a few sips and put down the bowl.
"Then again..."
Yuxiang's voice attracted Erli, because the latter was really hungry, and focused on getting the porridge cold as soon as possible.
“?”
"You've won this time...
Say, what do you need me to do? ”
She was a little dissatisfied with this, because after all, it was defeated, and it was not very uncomfortable. But Yuka also knows that if you lose, you lose, and there is nothing to quibble.
And this kid is not bad, and it won't be a big deal if she loses to her.
"Huh? …”
Before she could react to what she was talking about.
"But don't be anything excessive, otherwise, I will defeat you ten times and a hundred times in the future, and then force you to pay back a hundred times."
Suddenly, with a dangerous smile, Kazami Yuka's strong temperament of overriding everything came up again. This can't help but make Erli a little worried, what if her request goes too far?
But you have to try to bring it up, and if you don't bring it up, you won't know Yuka's thoughts.
“… Well...... It's simple, just move out of this place and don't interfere with it. ”
"Why?"
Yuka didn't quite understand, and Erri then explained.
"I was given a commission and I wanted to help them get back home.
And the pay is very good, so naturally I can't refuse.
The land here is uncultivable, and I hope it can still be cultivated and the prey will continue to survive on the land. ”
"Hmm......" Yuka frowned and voiced her doubts, "I know what you mean, but why are you telling me this, I don't need to protect the weak." ”
“… Because... I'm afraid you'll be angry... Then you will trouble me... It's not good..."
Erli didn't dare to lie, and made up a random reason, Yuxiang, who had the title of Tyrant of Flowers, could tell if it was true or false.
But this also made the person concerned a little stunned, but he didn't expect the child to tell the truth directly.
“……
Well, move out of here? I can do it
But if you want me to do something again, you'll have to prove it to me again.
Maybe I'll kill you, or maybe I'll leave you behind to train and femdom. ”
The latter sentence Erli ignored because she knew who she was going to trouble and tried not to go to Yuuka because her personality was so unreasonable.
"Thank you."
After listening to the thank you twice, Yuka smiled and said.
"So, where do you need me to move?"
"Iyo-no-Nina Island, there..."
"Why there?"
"Because the place where I settled down is also there, multiple youkai can help more."
"Oh?"
She looked at Erli with a straight face with great interest, and smiled inexplicably.
What a kid.
The world is hard, and people's hearts are not ancient. How can this kid still accept without reservation, half an enemy person?
Look down on you, little Ellie.
"Well, but how do I get there?"
Erli looked at Yuka and suddenly laughed, her heart was really furious. At this time, the latter suddenly asked, which made her a little frightened.
"Huh... Yes... I know a youkai who can help you get to Iyo-no-Ni Na Island. ”
"Is it so powerful?"
"Hmm. But now I don't have enough magic power, and it will take a day to adjust before I can call her over. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the two of us to meet. ”
"Hmm. I also want to meet, your friend, can you fight like this? ”
Yuka licked her lips, not hiding her desire to fight.
