At this moment, Lemuel seemed to see nothing else in his eyes, he just stared blankly at Riveria, who was lying in a pool of blood......

In the same way, in such a situation, he completely loses his due judgment.

In the eyes that should have been bright, it seemed that any desire and expectation had been lost-

Hidden in the depths of those eyes, there is nothing left but despair!

"Why is this happening?"

He didn't understand, and he couldn't get an answer even if he racked his brains......

"Why is this happening? Why was it Riveria who was sniped? ”

And at this moment, a voice in my head gave the answer that seemed to be close at hand, only one step away-

"Because, for you, this guy is undoubtedly the most important existence now!"

Immediately afterwards, he did his best to deny it!

"It's not! That's not true! Shouldn't it be like this!? ”

"Did you forget so quickly? That prophecy? ”

"But, that's just baseless nonsense at best, isn't it?!"

Faced with another self's questioning, he desperately denied it; Denial, as if crazy, throws the so-called reason and reason out of the clouds!

Because no matter what, he can't accept or admit that he has the ease.

What's more, Lemuel couldn't believe he had a similar idea!

At the end of the day, he couldn't accept himself with such a ridiculous idea. That's why the rejection was so thorough.

Whether it's the prophecy or the status quo.

There is no doubt that he wants to escape!

"Now, Riveria...... No kidding! Hurry up!! That's too cunning, isn't it? ”

Even he didn't realize what he was like at this moment.

But that doesn't matter now, right?

"Brother! Brother!! ”

Until Lemuel, who was in this state, was slapped by his sister without hesitation!

“...... Sorry, sorry! I'm sorry!! It's all my fault—"

That's right, such a brother has only met once, that is, on the day he learned of Sister Lila's death.

My brother at that time was exactly the same as at this moment. It just scared her......

I'm so afraid that my brother will collapse like this!

And at that time, it was none other than Riveria who brought such a Lemuel back into this world.

But now? Who can I turn to now?

However, despite this thought, Vane forced himself to calm down-

"It's just a bullet in the shoulder, not a fatal wound! And saved!! ”

"Really?!"

Only then did Lemuel jerk his head up. The gaze that seemed to be desperately grasping for a life-saving straw made people feel distressed......

"If you can't believe me, you can ask Miss Olivia—"

"Well, although the bullet seems to have pierced the entire collarbone. However, it was not a fatal injury. ”

At this time, Riveria also endured unimaginable pain, and raised her hand with difficulty to caress his face, which seemed to have completely lost its temperature......

"Didn't I say it earlier, before I watched you get the happiness you deserve......"

"You're never going to die."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lemuel cried and laughed in an instant, not knowing what kind of answer to make.

"Still, now I know how much you care about me."

"From this point of view, this shot is not wronged, right?"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted mercilessly-

"Are you stupid?! What nonsense......"

was obviously taught a lesson, but at this moment, Riveria secretly snickered. Maybe I'm a complete idiot, right?

That's why I fell in love with the same guy as that guy......

"It's not a fatal injury, but if you leave it alone, it's still very dangerous—"

At this point, Olivia added.

At the same time, everyone also remembered that they should leave here as soon as possible. Because no one knows if there will be a second sniper!

Therefore, in order to prevent this situation from continuing forever, everyone felt that it was time to get out of here as soon as possible......

As a result, Riveria, who was so badly injured that she was almost completely incapacitated and could barely maintain consciousness, could only be carried by Lemuel.

"Is that okay?"

He then carefully adjusted his strength, trying not to burden Riveria again.

In a short time, his coat was stained with blood......

"Well, it's fine."

"If there's anything you feel uncomfortable about, just let me know? Don't force it—"

"Well, thank you."

At this moment, her voice finally sounded more reassuring.

But is that really the case?

From the blood stains dripping on the floor, it can be seen that the amount of bleeding has not slowed down or improved at all!

If this continues, it is a question of whether or not you can survive to the hospital!

No, if we continue to let the situation deteriorate, we won't be able to survive that time, right?

"I'm not going to let you die!"

Fortunately, just before he was about to walk out of the mansion, he met the person who was arranged by Levi to answer nearby!

"Who are you?"

However, at this time, Lemuel obviously couldn't trust them. Even when you know that these people in front of you are not enemies-

"Brother?"

"If you hesitate any longer, Sister Riveria may really not survive the hospital, right?"

Eventually, he gave up on his original idea as if he was reminded by Vane's side knock.

That's right, for now, Riveria's safety is obviously more important to him than anything else.

"I see."

At the same time, after some maneuvering and fighting, Levi and Yui also successfully dealt with the sniper lurking in the watchtower.

However, the two who originally wanted to know something from this guy were surprised to find that he had bitten his tongue and killed himself before being questioned!

"Hmph, spineless soft-footed shrimp!"

At this moment, Levi was literally full of contempt. Suddenly I only wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. As a result, I was a little uncomfortable.

"What are you doing?"

"No, nothing!?"

Sometimes, such conversations become part of the daily routine. Primarily, of course, in the process of performing a task.

"I don't understand you-"

Levi, who sighed like this, picked up the *** that fell at his feet. Look at it......

Speaking of which, as he usually has no hobbies, his preference for firearms should be one of the few interests.

"As a ***, this guy is a little old. It's already 10 years ago—"

"Huh? Is that so? ”

Yui on the side looked very surprised.

"Can something from 10 years ago be usable today?"

So he blurted out his doubts. At the same time, the explicit hope is answered......

"I don't know if something else will be able to be used after that long time. However, if you take care of firearms, you can do it well. ”

"That's right. Speaking of seniors, what is the model of this guy? ”

"Ahhh......h Although not sure, it is most likely Ba

ett M82A1M bar?. ”

"A 12.7X99mm M1022 long-range sniper cartridge was used."

What Levi didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yui take out the diary he was carrying-

I'm carefully remembering something.

"It's okay if you don't have to memorize it in such detail!"

However, she wasn't listening at all. This guy seems to be very keen on this kind of thing, and I really don't know why.

"Let's go, what's to be done anyway."

"Good!"

For the next month, Riveria could only honestly receive a moderate amount of medication.

and rehabilitation to match her physical strength at the time.

"Looks like it's going to be a long time before you-"

She unconsciously sighed at the apple that Lemuel handed her. Peeled, of course.

"What? Are you still polite to me so far? ”

"Okay, okay, then I'll get straight to-"

"Until I'm fully recovered, can I advise?"

In the face of this, the statement and wording that can already be called "cute enough" for Riveria, how can Lemuel not accept it.

"Yes, gladly!"

At this moment, he behaved very naturally, even so naturally that he was a little underbeaten.

"Flim tongue ...... in this kind of place"

"I think I've been frank enough."

"Yes, yes, that's it, right? It hurts ......."

Suddenly, this inadvertent pain suddenly made the two of them tense their nerves again!

"Sure enough, does your right arm still hurt?"

"yes...... Speaking of which, you also heard from the doctor, right? Maybe there's a sequelae or something—"

Unexpectedly, before she could finish speaking, Lemuel was once again so disappointed that people couldn't laugh or cry.

"I said it wasn't your fault, don't show that kind of expression at every turn, okay?"

Suddenly provoked her to roll her eyes.

"Really, how worried are you? Although there is a possibility of arm paralysis, it is only a probabilistic development after all! ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

Immediately afterward, both of them unconsciously laughed out loud - yes, even if there was such a possibility, they were starting to worry about something now......

Wouldn't it be too unfounded?

In fact, even now, Riveria is in good spirits, isn't she?

"Anyway, the information that Vane found from the Ozman Mansion made me very concerned—"

"Ah...... Do you mean that? Actually, I feel the same way. And she was going to send it to you a week ago. ”

"Huh? I haven't heard of that, have I? ”

However, after a little thought, Riveria could figure out why-

"Did you do anything?"

Indeed, that information, as well as Vane's thoughts, were temporarily stopped by him. So at that moment when I was seen through without a doubt......

He could only apologize honestly.

"I'm sorry, I actually stopped that. As for the reason......"

And just when he wanted to give a more detailed explanation, he was rejected without mercy.

"Okay, okay, I got it. You don't have to say it anymore......"

To be honest, Riveria was very grateful for his dedication to himself, but—

"Are you overly concerned?"

I have to complain like this.

However, thanks to Lemuel's persistence, his body is also recovering at a speed that seems to be visible to the naked eye.

In this regard, I have to thank him for his careful care.

"Sister Riveria, congratulations on your discharge!"

Then, one day on Tuesday, I was successfully discharged from the hospital. In the face of Vane's warm embrace, she certainly did not refuse.

"Thank you. I'm sorry to let you make a special trip. ”

"No, no, it's actually me coming by myself, hahahaha......"

"So, where is that information now?"

"Hey ——!"

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Lemuel objected. But at this moment, there was no need for Riveria to bother anymore.

"You just have to do your job as a driver now. Do you understand? ”

She said.

“......”

"It's right at my house, huh? Is it time to go? ”

Riveria's answer was already clear-

In any case, she did not have any reason to refuse.

So, over the next month, she, Vane, and Olivia threw themselves into the lab again with good reason.

At this time, Hatfield, who didn't seem to be able to help, could only help the three of them occasionally run errands.

In this regard, Lemuel is similar-

Because I don't have the material to do that kind of complicated work at all.

In particular, the strange symptoms of dizziness as long as I stare at the experimental data make people cry and laugh......

So when encountering such a situation, no matter how strong his own will is, he will be rejected by Riveria -

"No way!"

"Huh? But I haven't said anything......"

"Even if you don't, I know what you're going to say next. So, no—"

As a result, Lemuel, who was rejected to this part, could only give up obediently......

However, much of the credit for the smooth progress of the research is due to the return of Vane to the Ozman Mansion immediately afterward.

Even she couldn't tell why she did that, but—

Thanks to her decision, the whole process went without hindrance.

That's right, thanks to the serum she collected about the "beast" in front of her, as well as the samples.

At the same time, thanks to this, Riveria also knew that Oozman was secretly conducting some kind of experiment-

Specifically, it is to implant the seeds of the "beast" in the DNA of the newborn baby!

At first, Riveria didn't believe that Ozman would go crazy to such an extent, but after she read the information she had brought back from the mansion......

I was convinced of this fact.

However, when she saw the research results on her side, she couldn't help but be surprised!

"W-How is this possible! The opponent we have been fighting so far is...... Mankind?! ”

"That said, we've been working with ...... so far Humans fighting—this kind of thing...... This kind of thing ......! ”

In an instant, this secret burst silently like a blockbuster!
