After staring at this scene for a while, he glanced at Ye Ya's back, revealing a trace of hatred.

But in the end, he looked away and walked slowly towards Sasha.

"Cheer up!"

Ye Ya hugged the one on the ground, and after hearing the faint breathing, he exhaled as if he felt relieved, and turned around to greet Ana.

"Ana...... Get the water out. ”

Anai, who had followed Yaya, reached out and groped in the white box behind him.

Out of it was a thin jug.

After taking the jug, Ye Ya then fed her to drink.

Suddenly, the lacerations and fractures in her arms healed like clocks back.

However, consciousness was not restored at the same time.

Yunshui has an inexhaustible cure for injuries, but there is no way to deal with the rebound brought by the use of it. And under the influence of the lung disease that preceded the child, it should take a little time to regain consciousness.

After Ye Ya entrusted the sleeping Yao to Anai to take care of, she shot her eyes to Nangong.

Nangong stood and looked down at Sasha who fell to the ground.

Sasha...... Giggles, lost the fight, right? You are the laughing stock of your family. ”

There was a contempt in that sentence.

There was a twist on Nangong's mouth that couldn't tell if it was a smile or a pain.

"Nangong, sister...... Yes, no, up. ”

Sasha, who had been seriously injured, has now recovered to the extent that she can speak on her own.

"Is it cured?"

"Yes, yes."

"Then heal me at once."

Nangong glanced at his sister, and then walked towards his other sister, Xiangxiang.

「…… Tsk."

Nangong smacked his tongue.

The fate here is worse than blood sand.

"Xiangxiang, get up...... Xiangxiang."

Nangong couldn't wake up when he saw Xiangxiang, so he kicked it with the tip of his shoe. But Xiangxiang still doesn't move.

As long as consciousness is restored, there is a way to heal the wound, and the deer clan will never die from injuries of this magnitude. However, even in view of this, Nangong's attitude towards his sister still seems excessively cold.

"Nangong!"

Seeing Nangong's behavior, Ye Ya shouted angrily.

Nangong glanced behind him, but ignored Ye Ya's scolding.

"I told you to get up...... Go, waste one."

This time, he used the toe of his shoe to make up for Xiangxiang's head.

"Tsk...... Get out of the way, Nangong!"

Ye Ya, who couldn't sit idly by, rushed to Xiangxiang's side, who was prostrate on the ground.

Pick up her head and pour water into her.

"Oh, you're going to save the enemy, what are you thinking?"

Nangong sneered as if he was making fun of this behavior, and Ye Ya raised his head and looked directly at him with a stern gaze.

"They just called you sister. Case...... Aren't they your sisters?"

"Well, it's my sister."

Nangong nodded in acknowledgement.

"Then again, you're such a good person. I have two younger sisters and they're twins, so it's impossible not to know what that means. So you still insist on saving her? It's so perfect that it feels ugly. It's so incorruptible that you want to vomit, and you'll regret it later...... Hehehe."

"Don't insult me, Nangong. If you regret what you have done, what kind of patriarch is your family."

Ye Ya let Xiangxiang, who had recovered from her condition, lie down, picked up her sword again and stood up.

「…… Hmph."

I don't know if Nangong was angered by Ye Ya's words, or if she simply thought it was interesting.

She shrugged her shoulders and glanced at Sasha and Xiangxiang, and began to narrate with a mocking expression on her face, "You're right, they are my sisters. At the same time...... Cluck...... The unknown shadow of the deer clan, the existence of darkness. You are certainly a member of your own family, but after all, you are only a second daughter, and you grew up without knowing anything, and you call yourself the patriarch to that darkness, which is really naïve and funny."

But at the same time as the previous article......

Nangong put the fingers of his right hand on his face.

And then—

"Although they are second daughters like you, their fates are very different from yours."

Suddenly, he changed his gloomy tone as if he was sneering, and he looked resentful.

"They are the products of darkness that will never be blessed by others. Manufactured, born, and raised to be used as a prop for assassination......

As the words come out.

Ka.

Nangong erected his nails and scraped them across his face.

The red liquid oozes from the skin, flowing down the red lines.

"Ha, haha...... Hahaha. ”

He grinned and scratched his cheeks as he muttered words that looked like he had gone crazy.

She seems to be repeating the act of self-harm.

I scratched my cheeks as if I didn't feel any pain.

"All of this is a decision made by the family, knowing everything, but still silent......"

Nangong's face was irritable, and the volume of his originally endless muttering voice tended to gradually increase.

Laughter turned into roaring.

“…… Hahaha! It's so ugly that people can't help but want to vomit, and it's so stupid that people can't laugh! It's so innocent and ignorant! What is reserved, human coexistence, those sanctimonious words are so good...... Secretly but casually kidnapping humans! The children who survived by this were used as props, but they didn't dare to disclose their existence! That's the true face of the deer clan! ”

The roar was hysterical, resounding through the corridors of the hospital.

Taking his hand away from his cheek, Nangong looked at his palm and frowned.

After rudely smearing the blood on his shirt, he said contemptuously, "What filthy blood."

The emotion in the sight and voice is hatred.

And jealousy.

The contradiction embraced by the Hate Deer Clan, and the fate of being forced to bear that contradiction.

And - jealousy, who knows nothing about such contradictions, and lives happily ever after.

and Ye Ya, who confronted Nangong who shouted to the end with one breath, lowered his head.

After a while—she looked up and said, "...... Is that the darkness of the deer?"

There is a little sadness in the loneliness.

"As you say, I really don't know anything. Whether it's your business or Lan Yang's business, it's helpless that you will be blamed for being naïve and ignorant. I call myself the patriarch like this, which must be very funny from your point of view."

However......

"But ......"

Ye Ya was not discouraged by this.

The light of will in the eyes is strong and powerful, slowly diluting the color of regret and sadness.

Ye Ya was resolute, always holding her head up and her chest, as if she was ready to come to her senses-

"And because of that, I think...... It is my duty to eradicate that senseless habit and to wash away the shame of my family."

A manifesto was made.

Then she stared intently at Nangong, who was deeply frowning, and resolutely smiled.

"Why don't you take this opportunity to promise you to abolish those bad habits. After all, I don't need to stick to that kind of stuff because I don't know anything. If the reason for this ridiculous infighting also came from that darkness...... Then I will cut through the darkness and see the sun."

The voice was no longer a trace of confusion or worry.

Nangong was speechless for a moment.

But he quickly regained that gloomy smile that seemed to be self-deprecating.

"Naive, you really don't understand anything."

She rolled her eyes and glared at Ye Ya with a look of hatred that seemed to mix hatred and jealousy.

"Giggles, see the sun? I...... What we have so far shouldered is nothing else, the darkness? For us who have lived only in darkness for thousands of years, what can we redeem by doing so? Moreover, if there is no darkness, even Xiangxiang and Sasha, who cannot be born into this world, are the same...... The so-called expulsion of darkness is, to put it bluntly, just a disapproval of our existence."

After finishing speaking, Nangong called out the names of the twins who still fell to the ground as if he was scolding.

"Xiangxiang, Sasha! How long are you two useless things going to sleep...... Get up for me!"

「…… Yes, yes. Sister Nangong."

"I'm sorry. Sister Nangong."

The twins got up from the ground one after another.

Their bodies should not have recovered to their full state.

Although the injury was cured, the relative physical exertion was also intense.

But having nothing to do with physical and mental conditions, the twins picked up their weapons again.

"I hereby order. From now on, you will be the best of the best, and you will defeat the enemy before you."

"I see, Sister Nangong."

"Follow your instructions, Sister Nangong."

As if Nangong's order had become a reflex condition, the twins put on a posture.

"Nangong ...... Do you still insist on using them as things? So ...... If you continue like this, you will never be able to break free from the bondage of darkness, why don't you understand that?"

Ye Yana's questioning was not enough to impress Nangong.

"Haha. I'm going to get out of here and go and deal with Xia Jing."

The hatred and jealousy on the seemingly mocking face are long gone, only a sinister cruelty.

「…… Hmm!"

Hearing Xia Jing's name being mentioned, Ye Ya's face sank.

"Wait, Nangong!"

Ye Ya immediately prepared to step forward to stop Sister Nangong.

"We're not going to let you get away with it, are we, Xiangxiang."

"Yes, Sasha. Because this is the order of Sister Nangong."

The one who blocked Yea's path with her flesh was the darkness of the deer clan, the product of the taboo, the twin sisters, who had a symmetrical hairstyle and raised their weapons symmetrically.

"Get out of the way!"

"We're not going to back down."

"We're not going to back down."

"Nangong! I will never allow you to ...... Xia Jing My future husband will do it!"

"I warned you you'd regret it. Giggle."

Nangong, who put down the cruel words, has long since stopped taking Ye Ya in his eyes.

Turning his back to the sonorous sound of metallic hand-to-hand combat, Nangong waved his hand lightly and ran deeper into the corridor.

Every second counts.

At this moment, Ye Ya and Yao are also continuing to fight. And in the worst case, the enemy could break down the door and break in. Forced by his anxious mood, Xia Jing worked hard to speed up his preparations for battle.

Of course, it is still undecided whether this trick will work against the enemy. In this sense, it is considered to be resigned to fate. But it's better than doing nothing – you can't sit back and feel like you can't do anything.

"Boy, is it okay to put it here?"

Dr. Tian moved the hospital bed and placed it in the center of the room.

Now we are preparing for the unexpected situation of being broken into the ward by the enemy, so as to be prepared.

"I'll leave it to you. Doctor, you know more about this room than I do."

"Yes."

Glancing at Dr. Tian who was scratching his head and looking around in the room, Xia Jing used the treasure to carve the scars on the objects arranged on the ground.

The scalpel also has a syringe.

The general process has been completed. All that's left to do is to organize this one until it's ready to move.

At this moment, a faint voice came from the ears of Xia Jing, who was busy.

Xia Jing suddenly looked up.

It's Blue Sun.

She sat in her chair and looked out into the void as she sang the ballad.

Xia Jing's heart suddenly warmed.

There is a sense of déjà vu.

Reminiscing about the past.

I remember that it happened when I was a child, at night when a parent was away from home together.

It is not uncommon for Xia Jing and her sister to stay at home to take care of the house, it has happened occasionally before, and it is not only once or twice. But—one day in the midst of it, a scene that had never been recalled before suddenly burst forth.

At that time, Xia Jing was just like now, sitting on the floor and busy with the things at hand.

I think it's like I'm playing with it, or cleaning up toys scattered all over the place.

The sister on the other side sat on a folding chair. It just so happens to be like the current Blue Sun.

Ahhhhh

Xia Jing's sister, who was watching over the room and playing, unconsciously began to sing songs on the chair, just like her brother who had forgotten that he was immersed in a one-man game. As for Xia Jing, she still had a lot of fun with herself, using her sister's singing as background music while scribbling with crayons.

「…… Ahh

When Xia Jing came back to his senses, his eyes were full of tears.

Xia Jing took off his glasses and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

The tears were wiped away and stopped. This is not a sad cry.

There's just a feeling of nostalgia.

After all—it was an ordinary memory of a night in the small box courtyard that once actually existed.

True – there is nothing wrong.

Sister, she sings in her tune.

- I'm waiting for you.

Strictly speaking, this is a poem with a very sentimental atmosphere, but Lan Yang's singing makes people feel no sentimental atmosphere.

It sounds so gentle and quiet.

But it seems to feel happy.

With a tone of intonation and frustration, and the kind of voice that is emotionally invested.

It feels like I'm going to leave the afterglow in my heart, not in my ears—

The chanting of the ballad is over.

Lan Yang's gaze overlapped with Xia Jing, who was looking up at her.

"Hey, Lanyang Senpai"

"What's the matter?"

Xia Jing, who was smiling unintentionally, asked her.

"My sister...... How does she feel in the mansion?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen it. Because there's always a wall."

"I'm not asking what it looks like, I'm talking about the voice."

Xia Jing shook her head and said, "How does she feel when she talks to you? Are you happy?"

Why did my sister appear in the village? If you imagine from the words of Ye Ya and Lan Yang—although she doesn't want to think about it—it's likely that her sister was kidnapped by someone from the clan as a sacrifice, and she was suffering from pain until she died. If this is the case, Xia Jing will be grieved beyond measure.

But.

It's good just for a while. Even if it's just when you're chatting with Lan Yang—

"I feel happy."

Lan Yang replied.
