Incredible silence; Helplessly embarrassing; And the creepy hostility, all of which rushed to Natalie in the blink of an eye, and she couldn't let go of it no matter what.

Especially, when these are conveyed by a girl of her own age. It made her feel even more unacceptable.

However, although he knew what he had to say, he could not let this inexplicable but natural embarrassment continue; I also know that I can't stay silent all the time, even if I'm on the side that "deserves to be thanked".

However, despite knowing this, she didn't know where to start. So Natalie plans to carry out the "tacit understanding" between each other to the end before the other party speaks.

As a result, she even asked, "Who are you?" "Such simple questions are omitted.

But this is not because she doesn't want to know, but there is something more important to her at this moment, that is: what was she fighting with just now? What is that "plant"-like thing? Are they also "variants" brought about by that meteorite shower?

At the moment, just thinking about this, Natalie has already racked her brain. Unconsciously, my interest in this girl gradually faded over time.

However, Natalie did everything in her power to prevent this from happening. Because she knew that the girl in front of her might be the only one who knew the truth.

She wanted to know; Want to know; Want to spy on ...... And the only way to get closer to the truth is undoubtedly to take a stand......

At the same time, dispel her overly obvious hostility. Thankfully, Natalie had plenty of time to do that, as she had already done the bare minimum of first aid. At this moment, although her body was covered with bandages that seemed to be dripping with blood, she could still speak.

"Who are you? What was that just now? ”

So, she plans to get straight to the point, because she hates to drag mud and water.

"Why are you here? What happened? ”

However, Natalie didn't realize that because there were too many problems she threw over in one go, it only made the girl's hostility even stronger.

- She didn't realize it at first, but she noticed it right away.

After a while, Natalie was caught in a dilemma, and her expression was quite troubled. For a moment, she even began to wonder if the other party could understand her words. "Can you understand me?"

The answer must be a doubt, otherwise there would be no way to explain the cause of this chilling hostility.

"I saved you, but your injuries are very serious, and I can't do anything about the next treatment and treatment."

"Understood?"

In desperation, Natalie had to dance and do her best to express herself. However, even so, the other party still did not say a word. This undoubtedly hit her quite hard. At the same time, at this moment, Natalie tried to come to a conclusion: the girl in front of her was not unwilling to speak, but for some reason "unable to speak".

Immediately, with this assumption......

She spoke again: "You ...... now?" Is it impossible to speak? ”

and deliberately slowed down the speed of speech, so as to ensure that the other party can be better; Easier to understand. "Is that so?" Then she repeated what she had just said.

Then the girl nodded—a slight gesture, but she did. But that alone was enough to make Natalie excited. Immediately after learning this, she immediately rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the blood-filled cabin. After a while, I saw her bring a bottle of water.

"I think you need this." After saying that, although his methods were clumsy and rusty, he even fed her some water.

"Are you feeling better?"

The girl nodded again, but her hostility never went away. Natalie interprets that as a warning and precaution against strangers, but her way of acting is too direct and too misleading.

"I didn't...... Malice, and it won't hurt you. ”

Then, after understanding all this, Natalie once again stated her position, but still did not get a response from the girl.

"I guess you should at least thank me, even though you don't seem to believe me."

Being stubbornly rejected to this point, even if Natalie is patient, she can't help but be a little frustrated. So the blood-soaked cabin fell silent again.

However, what she didn't know was that the series of questions she had just asked the girl were also what the other party wanted to seek from her.

And the reason why it shows undisguised hostility, in addition to being wary and wary of Natalie's existence itself, is also a small part of the surprise in it.

Because, for her, Natalie is a being who has "passed away". That's why she showed such a degree of caution and hostility.

"I mean, even if you don't want to talk to me, at least tell me your name, right?"

Then, maybe it was because of unwillingness, right? Natalie tries to close the distance between them once again. And this time the girl seems to have the same idea. So, the distance between the two went from far to near again-

"My name is ...... Vain Lavria. It was only the first time the girl spoke, and after that, the two of them knew each other's names as a matter of course.

- "Thank you, help me heal. ”

Then, despite the slight hesitation between the lines, Vane thanked Natalie. Although her thanks can almost be described as "cold to the bone". The moment the words fell......

Natalie understands the fact that even if she accepts the facts in front of her, she will not easily open up to others. Even if the object is equivalent to a "life-saving benefactor".

And the reason why she expresses her gratitude to herself may be that she feels that "this is something that must be done" and that's it.

"Where are you from? What exactly was the one who fought me just now? ”

When Natalie throws these questions, it's like a rewind for a moment, and the atmosphere goes back to before in the blink of an eye. "I see, aren't you going to tell me?"

Except for the name, he refused to reveal half of his origin and origin, and he didn't even plan to reveal the basic information of the enemy, "This person is really strange......

Unknowingly, Natalie came to this conclusion. Even the attitude of the other party made her feel that it was difficult to carry on the topic alone.

"You were attacked by it, right? And it also leaves you seriously injured. Right? Then she took it upon herself to continue the conversation.

"You can't win it, at least I can think so. But as you can see, I have a way of overcoming it. Even so, aren't you going to share information with me? ”

After a while, Vane finally spoke: "In that case, can you show me the evidence that you are so confident?" ”

Then, to prove it, Natalie untied the satchel she was carrying behind her back and took out a variety of weapons from it one after another.

And as she displayed them one by one and placed them on the ground, Vane's surprise gradually became no longer hiding.

"Okay, I'll believe you're right, but that doesn't mean I've accepted it all. I hope you can understand this. ”

And Natalie's attitude towards these words was equally cold: "Whatever you want, it's your business to accept it or not, but at least, what I said is not the slightest bit false." Besides, I don't need to gain your trust. Isn't it? ”

"Oh? Do you seem confident in your abilities and abilities? ”

In an instant, Vane became interested in her seemingly "unknowing" speech. "Of course, otherwise how do you think I've survived so far?" Unconsciously, the conversation between the two people is full of ** flavor.

"Are you trying to tell me that you've been fighting monsters like that so far and trying to survive?"

Vane's words were mixed with equal weight of respect and contempt. But he didn't mean to look down on people at all. At the same time, however, she doesn't really believe in this so-called one-sided statement.

"Exactly, how much strength do you have, let me try it myself!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled out the saber on her waist like a child, and then stabbed Natalie, who was taken aback, with lightning speed!

"Are you crazy?!" However, compared to her sudden drawing of her sword, what stunned her even more was the agile ape-like attack and movement! - This guy is obviously seriously injured!? As a result, Natalie, who was forced to be helpless, could only use her backhand flip to distance herself; While constantly changing direction and dodging at the moment when the tip of the sword was slightly away from his eyebrows!

"What? And even so, aren't you going to fight back? ”

Immediately afterwards, in the face of Vane, who was gradually forcing herself to retreat, Natalie suddenly smiled and explained: "After all, you are injured, if I really use all my strength, your situation will definitely be worse than now!" ”

After that, he easily took the sword swung by Vane in the air with both hands in a half-squatting posture from an angle that seemed to others to pass by!

"Oh? It doesn't seem to be lying! ”

However, as soon as the words fell, a sword suddenly appeared in her left hand, and while Natalie was stunned, it stabbed her in the abdomen in an instant! "Oh no!?"

Seeing this, Natalie had to give up all her strength and defense, and in the blink of an eye, she used all the muscles and nerves of her body to retreat with all her might, and then at the moment when she took the initiative to create a gap between each other, she tried her best to make herself jump high!

Then, at the moment when he was about to land and the other party turned around, he unexpectedly picked up the single-edged knife that was lying not far away with his foot, which looked like a waning moon! Immediately after that, as Vane completely turned around and stabbed herself in the neck with her saber, Natalie also approached her throat with the knife in her hand!

However, at this seemingly suffocating moment, the two of them had a tacit understanding that came to an end. "Heh, it seems that he does have considerable strength!"

Before the words fell, Vane retracted his sword with skillful movements. and a looming smile at Natalie.

"Really, I actually drew my sword to attack when I was talking to myself, it's just nonsense!"

Then, just when Natalie felt helpless about this, Vane suddenly fell to his knees as if he had fallen apart. - "Look? I guessed it would be like that. After complaining to herself, she once again helped Vane, who had fallen to the ground, back to the platform she had just had.

It looked like a bed, but the difference was that they were all made up of crystal cubes that seemed to be independent of the real world and space. Of course, it has become bloody at this moment.

"All in all, now I'm sure you're not an enemy. Before......"

"Okay, okay, you can lie down in peace first. It's never too late to say something later! ”

Then, naturally, Vane did so. After all, she didn't want to throw her life here for no reason.

At this moment, thousands of miles away, on the Asura of the Confused Star, there are dizzying variety of familiar "creatures" active.

Of course, these are just "vectors" that are cloned and replicated using genetic technology. Of course, there are also many people here who imitate the life of what was once "human". However, they had to "start from scratch" from the Stone Age.

Therefore, they are always tight-lipped about their origins and origins. And among the pioneers who led them to find a way out of the status quo and make the rapid development of technology and civilization one person has a name that is so dazzling that it is full of admiration.

- The man's name was Lemuel Lavria. He was also the pioneer of the kingdom of Midgard.

And while wearing multiple identities, he is also Vane's brother. - However, the title of "brother", which is common but taken for granted by ordinary people, is forbidden.

Although, it doesn't help that Wayne is more inclined to "brother" than "senior". Because they are indeed brothers and sisters who are related by blood.

In the long run, she acquiesced and took it for granted.

However, despite thinking so, and at the same time not feeling that my brother was wrong, I still felt uncomfortable in my heart. Obviously, he didn't care about this kind of thing before.

And at this moment, when it was close to dawn and the night had not completely faded, what appeared in front of Lemuel's eyes was a scene of corpses all over the field. It's unbearable just to look at. However, the culprits did not stop their atrocities because of the horror in front of them.

"Hey, stop!" Immediately, Lemuel tried to act; Try to stab it with the sword in your hand—

However, his repeated attempts were betrayed by Susu's face - and then, as a matter of course, he discovered the truth -

Although his sword did touch the creature and pierce its chest, it could not kill it.

As incredible as this fact is, the reality, and the touch that comes back into the palm of your hand, undoubtedly tells Lemuel about this equally incredible reality.

It's like a gap between reality and dreams, and there are exits all around, but neither of them can pass through. It wasn't until the last girl in this space smiled and fell in front of her that Lemuel suddenly came back to her senses who she really was-

"Lela, Lela!?"

It all came so suddenly, and the impact on Lemuel was like a stormy sea. even, without giving him the time and space to accept it, he forcibly presented the cruel reality in front of his eyes again and again like a downpour. Until, Lemuel was physically and mentally exhausted by the repeated scenes!

However, this is, at best, "a re-presentation of what happened in some form". However, this incident is also the most vulnerable place in the depths of Lemuel's seemingly seamless strong heart.

"No kidding, Lela!"

I saw him reach out again and again and hold her in his arms, dripping with blood. However, that's all he can do. It didn't even have time to retain, and the process was repeated over and over again without mercy. As a result, he was forced to witness the death of his fiancée again and again.

Think about it, ordinary people have to calmly face and accept the fact that the most important person is gone forever It may take a lifetime, so if this process; And what if this fact is repeated hundreds or thousands of times without hesitation? How big is the blow to a person?

"Why are you still laughing......"

The moment he said this, Lemuel burst into tears. At this moment, he didn't care about the tears at all, but desperately wanted to keep the residual warmth of the girl in his arms who was gradually withering like cherry blossoms......

"Don't cry, it's really okay with you......"

"Still, great. I thought you would never shed a tear for me! ”

The girl with the long flaming hair is half joking; Said half seriously.

"You, why do you always look like this, always treat me like a child! I, even I would ......! ”

While stalking and conveying his inner thoughts little by little, Lemuel prayed again and again in his heart-

"It doesn't matter what the world has become; It doesn't matter what it becomes, but Rila ...... At least please let her live! ”

His prayers, however, were destined not to be heard; Nor will it materialize. Because there are no gods in this world.

"Speaking of which, weddings...... It has not yet been held. Can I call myself your wife? ”

——At that moment, the happiness on the girl's face was suddenly covered by sentimentality......

So, Lemuel tried his best to make his mouth move: "Fool, you have long been there. Isn't it? For me, it can only be you! ”

His words were almost crying and roaring, and the strength of his arms made the girl a little breathless—what a guy who "made his own decisions until the end."

"Really? That's great......"

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the girl's arm, which she originally wanted to raise desperately, suddenly lost all support and strength as a matter of course.

It just so happened that after this scene, Lemuel's world was once again covered with darkness like an abyss! Immediately afterwards, he was awakened by a knock on the door that was so rapid that it was difficult for him to do so: "Your Highness, the minister has an urgent report, and 100,000 are in a hurry!" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll come." Lemuel, who had just figured out what was going on, quickly put on his coat and opened the door. Unexpectedly, the person who was supposed to be waiting outside fell in an instant!

Moreover, his face was bloodless, sweating profusely, and he couldn't even bother to tidy up his coat. "What is the matter, what kind of body is it to be so disheveled!" Although Lemuel scolded him mercilessly on the surface, he still got up as a matter of course and helped him up as he fell to the ground, and made him a cup of tea himself. "How dare you bother Your Highness, the minister can't afford it!"

"Red tape is gone, what's going on? Fred? ”

Seeing this, Fred fell to his knees with another pop, trembling incessantly. However, Lemuel was not impatient with this.

Instead, he patiently asked, "It's definitely not a trivial matter to scare you like this, right?" Could it be that Vane is in trouble again? ”

Speaking of this, Lemuel showed a helpless expression as a matter of course, and after a while, he asked solemnly: "But, as far as I know, Venn will be in charge of the investigation of the surrounding planetary resources from today, isn't it?" Now, I'm supposed to be back soon—"

Unexpectedly, as he said to himself, Fred's face became more and more ugly: "Yes, it should have been like this."

However, we found no trace of the ship on the original scheduled return route......"

In an instant, as Fred blurted out this sentence, the expression on Lemuel's face instantly froze-

"Originally, we planned to try to find clues without alarming you, but we have used all possible means, but there is still no trace!"

At this moment, Fred bowed his head deeply, blaming himself over and over again.

"Your Highness, maybe it's been now—"

However, just as he was about to blurt out the words that he knew to each other, he suddenly felt Lemir's real killing intent in the blink of an eye! This made Fred dumbfounded for a moment, and after a while he said word by word:

"Why are you still here? Do you want me to teach you what to do now?! ”
