"Uncle...... Is there anything you'd like to ask me? ”

She looked dazed, and didn't seem to know why she was asking for something, as it stands to reason that Arri should have asked Cormack.

"Yes, there are some things that I care about.

You don't mind if I sit next to you..."

"It's Uncle's words... It's okay. ”

She sat up little by little, holding on to the bed, to make way for Cormac, who was petite and didn't have many legs, and had enough space for him to sit down.

"So, the first question......

Have the people around you ever said something strange about you? ”

"Strange... Stuff? ”

"Like, demons, monsters, whatever?"

After a brief moment of thought, Arlie replied.

"Hmm...... Yes, there is.

When I was back in my hometown, some people would call me that.....

But I don't know why? They say I have horns and a tail on my head, but... I wasn't impressed at all. ”

When she said this, she seemed to be very confused, and she couldn't understand why the other party said that.

"A little impression... Isn't there either? ”

Cormac had been paying attention to Erri's expressions and movements, and it didn't seem to be a problem at the moment, but that wasn't a reason to relax.

"Yes... Not at all impressed...

Later, I told my mom and dad that after my mom and dad asked someone else, we moved, and nothing like this happened after that. ”

"Then you... Is there anything in particular? ”

"Hmm...... Mom and Dad say I'm smart! ”

… What do I think......

The shame that she hadn't seen for a long time suddenly returned to Erlie's heart for no other reason...... I haven't accepted such a disgraceful way to disguise myself...

Komak was a little stunned by such an answer, and then said to Ellie with a smile.

"Not like that...... Do you feel physical, or something else? ”

"Hmm...... My mother said that my body would not have scars, and it was not quite the same as ordinary children. ”

Holding back her embarrassment, she continued to pretend to be the little girl who was less than ten years old, and thanks to the dim lighting, Cormac didn't see the blush on the right side of Ellie's face.

"No scars?"

Komak subconsciously looked at her body, indeed, there was not a trace of scar in the exposed position, and this kind of uniform wound on the battlefield did not exist.

"Yes."

She stretched out her left hand and unwrapped the bandage in front of the other party, and when the outer layer of snow-white bandage was removed, the part that was stained with blood was revealed.

It's just that...

The fingers had grown up, but they were only stained with a lot of blood, and a little cleaning would be as if they were not injured at all.

"My mom also said that my body recovered quickly.

But I asked many doctors, and they didn't understand what was going on, and only said that it was a personal physical problem. ”

Although she has great doubts about Erli's identity, it seems that the news she revealed is true.

At least for now.

"So you think... Will your body grow better? ”

"Yes, the legs may not be the same as the fingers, and I believe they will grow."

As she spoke, Ellie lifted the quilt, which had just been repaired by magic, and almost half of her thighs had been repaired.

"So uncle, look, I'm going to grow legs."

“……”

Indeed, before this, she had almost no lower body, and now she could see the outline.

But... Her physical constitution... Able to repair any damage to the body?

If... Can cocoa be cured? Rely on her blood?

"Uncle?"

"Ah...... I'm sorry... Thinking about something.

So it seems that you don't need to stay here anymore, the environment in here is really bad. ”

The room was reserved for sailors who had contracted infectious diseases, and generally they had to be kept in a place where they could be treated. Of course, it depends on luck, and if they can't make it, this room is their morgue.

Fearing that Elle would hurt the sailors, she was placed in one of the few empty rooms.

……

"I can't see ......"

"Why don't I push you in..."

The two of them returned to the passage of the guest room, most of which had been destroyed by the explosion of the powder magazine, and had originally been the position of the officer, but because of the battle, it was no problem to arrange a special room for Ellie.

However, due to the temporary loss of vision from her left eye, it took a lot of effort for Ellie to enter the room, and she even fell out of her wheelchair when she finally pushed the door open.

Komak followed her, originally intending to be sent here and be done, but after seeing this girl who looked like his own daughter, hitting the wall and losing her center of gravity over and over again, he had no choice but to follow Erlie to avoid any mess.

The house was previously occupied, so the contents were still in place, the fruit was still on the plate, the quill in the inkwell and the unfinished documents had not been changed.

As for the original owner? It had been sent into the ocean by the people on the ship, and the state of the body was really too much for their relatives to see, because it was just a little bit - it was too miserable.

"This room is yours, but it looks like it needs to be cleaned and dealt with...

After all, there are some things that you can't see yet. ”

Cormac walked over to his desk, picked up the papers, and read them carefully, while Ellie moved to the edge of the bed and jumped on the bed.

"Still this bed is comfortable...... Well? ”

She looked at it, and there was something more on the table, and... It's a little familiar.

"Uncle?"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Kurmak, who had put down the papers, looked at Ellie, who looked straight at her, as if she had seen something interesting.

"Ellie, what are you looking at?"

"No, uncle, can you still eat fruit?"

"Naturally you can eat... Well? ”

As he was about to hand the plate to Ellie, Komak suddenly noticed something abrupt inside: an apple, but with a flame-like pattern, and it was orange-red.

"What is this?"

He took the thing out, not knowing what kind of fruit it was, and then he looked back at Ellie, who was staring at the thing as well.

"You know what?"

"I haven't seen it, uncle."

If I'm not mistaken, it's the pattern of the mutated fruit on that tree, but why go back to this ship?

It stands to reason that the fruit floating on the sea should generally be rotten, and I don't remember that there are apple trees on the island.

So what's going on?

"It's weird... It looks a bit like an apple, but I haven't seen one of this variety yet.

Do you want it, Ellie? ”

"Don't. I want the ordinary. ”

So, let's do a little test and see what happens to humans if they eat this.
