Chapter 208: Hesitation
After saying his last goodbye to his parents' souls, the little boy Alexis wept profusely and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
It was already approaching autumn, and the night in the northern countries was obviously darker than the rest of the Lion Continent, and the sky was already dark at this time.
The weather is getting cooler, and the girls have to make fires to keep warm in order to resist the cold of the northern nights. Jessie Fern and the others are better at resisting the cold, that is, Colleen, who is simply a cold-blooded animal, as long as the temperature drops, she will die and can't stand it.
But the friends can probably guess what the reason is, not because Colleen is delicate, but maybe there are deeper problems.
"How is he?" asked Colleen absent-mindedly as Jessie Fern came to the fire after calming the little boy down.
"I've slept well, and I hope he'll forget a little sadness after a good dream. The poker-faced housekeeper sighed, the harrowing experiences of the people fueling Jessefer's hateful memories of the alien monsters.
"Damn Chu Shou. Colleen said softly.
The words were soft, but everyone else could hear them. Hearing this, Jacqueline had a worried look on her face, but Yu and Jessie couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
"Miss Ginoel, I beg your pardon for my presumptuousness. Scarlet Xue spoke at this time, "May I ask if hating Chu Shou can make you get back what you lost, why do you have to hate Chu Shou so much?"
Scarlet Xue couldn't understand why Chu Shou wanted Colleen to misunderstand him, this was not his responsibility at all, right? Even if Chu Shou explained that he wanted to protect Colleen, but the strongest holy hammer who didn't know the human heart still didn't understand the reason, this was completely irrational and logical, out of the natural professional curiosity of the magician, she hoped to get an answer from Colleen.
Colleen looked at Scarlet Snow with puzzled eyes for a long time before she whispered, "I know no, but what if...... Without that, I wouldn't have been able to sleep at all, or even ...... Maybe you don't even have a goal to live, right? Just thinking that if we could save many lives by getting rid of such a hateful person, I feel like I can be redeemed. ”
"Redemption...... Scarlet Xue said thoughtfully after hearing this, "Maybe I can understand your thoughts and feelings a little." ”
"Wow, it's so fragrant, is it roasted?" At this time, Snow Feathers flew back and forth by the fire, constantly urging.
The cheese brought by the girls had an enticing flavor after being roasted over the fire, which made Snow Feather, who had been hungry in the wild for a long time, unbearable.
Seeing the cute little animal's greedy and funny appearance, everyone couldn't help but wonder, as if the unhappiness caused by the bad things encountered today had been diluted a lot.
"I don't know how Monroe is now......" Jacqueline couldn't help but miss her little summoned beast when she saw the scene.
"Don't worry, you can't die. Hearing this, Yu picked up a piece of grilled cheese with some unpleasantness and put it in his mouth nonchalantly.
"It's so hot!" the female ninja was scalded by the cheese in her mouth and gently spit out the food.
"But it's worrying. Colleen shrunk back to bring herself closer to the flames, "The northern kingdoms have been overrun by those evil creatures, and Sister Megath's country seems to be among them, so they must be in some trouble, right?"
Hearing this, the others fell silent, unable to answer the question, because Colleen's reasoning was very reasonable.
"Well, let's eat something first, and then think about other things. The atmosphere was heavy for a while, and in order to break the uncomfortable scene, Jacqueline smiled and picked up a piece of cheese and handed it out to Snow Feather.
"Damn, if there were magical girls, those monsters wouldn't be so arrogant!Meow!It's so hot, it's delicious!Meow!" Snow Feather took Jacqueline's grilled cheese and ate it unceremoniously, but it was also hurt by the freshly baked heat. Perhaps because of hunger, the little creature rose to the occasion and ate the slice of cheese in a few bites.
Hearing someone mention this, the scene fell into an even heavier atmosphere.
Everyone knows what Xue Yu is talking about as a "magical girl", and they know even more that once they become a magical girl, they will not only have to face the change of their own identity, but also face the almost invincible puppet king.
But now that Colleen and Scarlet Snow are both infected with the blood of alien monsters, if they don't want to become those ugly monsters, the only way to save themselves is to become magical girls.
Because of this contradiction, no one in the room wants to be the first to bring it up, and people will instinctively want to delay some time for some important, necessary, and change-changing decision.
Even Scarlet Xue was surprised by her mentality, she didn't expect that she would hesitate at the front position, and when she thought about it, she felt that this matter was the most correct choice, but at this time she was a little hesitant.
"We can become magical girls. After a long silence, Scarlet Snow finally broke the silence and spoke, "We have been infected with the blood of those evil creatures, but we have temporarily stopped the infection with the Soul Key. ”
"No wonder, no wonder, meow!" Snow Feather fluttered around Crimson Snow before running to Colleen and sniffing it with her nose, "I think you two smell a little weird, that's why, Meow." ”
"So, let's become a magical girl, girls. Snow Feather flew between the two and made a malicious invitation gesture, "Come and fight for the fate of mankind, meow!"
Seeing Xue Yu's hearty invitation, everyone couldn't help but have an illusion of the identity of a profiteer for this little animal in their hearts.
Jacqueline looked at the two companions worriedly, then at Snow Feather, and asked cautiously in a low voice, "Do we need to do something, such as being on guard, to prevent any enemies from disturbing us?" ”
Jacqueline was impressed by the ritual of turning into a magical girl, and it wasn't the bloody and tragic kind of snow feather that could be disguised by selling cuteness - if it failed. Therefore, the girl can't help but worry about her peers, and she wants to help them do something, even if it is to increase the success rate even a little.
"No, I don't need to. Scarlet Xue looked around and said calmly, "I have to admit that Xue Yu has a very high attainment in magic, this hidden enchantment is almost seamless, even if it is discovered, there is also a protective enchantment, the enemy will not be able to enter for a while, it is really perfect." ”
"Meow, it's been praised, it's been praised!" the little animal flew back and forth in the sky excitedly, "Praise Snow Feather a little more, Snow Feather has a lot of advantages, Meow!"
"There's no need to waste time, let's get started. Colleen swallowed the cheese in a few bites, then looked at Snow Feather solemnly.
It seemed that both of them had come to their senses - those present could feel the atmosphere getting heavier and heavier, and at the same time, they could also feel the determination of Scarlet Snow and Colleen.
