Chapter 70: Retreat from the Rapids?

"Hmm...... ......"When consciousness returns to the body, Kiriko's first feeling is a headache...... The pain after drinking highly distilled liquor and having a hangover was really unbearable pain for ordinary people, and it wasn't just Kiriko who struggled to sit up that she found that her teammates who were lying around her were also in pain......

"I remember...... We seem to have been drunk by a bighorned loli? And then...... And then what?! Where is this?! Looking around, Kiriko found that she was in a rather unfamiliar place, somewhat similar to the main hall of a certain shrine, all empty rooms with wooden structures...... It's a pity that she searched through the memories in her head and found that she didn't know how they got here, so she was moved here after she was drunk.

The person who did this was most likely the unusual big-horned Lori, who said before Wing that she looked like a ghost? But what is the ghost clan, the ghost Kiriko still knows a little bit about the ghost, but the person who drunk himself is definitely physical...... And there are shadows!

Then why did she do such a thankless thing, after all, even if she imprisoned herself and others, it was completely useless, wasn't it? If it was really a bad intention, wouldn't it be more neat to kill the killer while he and others were drunk...... Kiriko was a little confused about what the other party was thinking, and her current physical condition couldn't help her think deeply...... Just sitting there gives you a headache in your head, let alone thinking about it. Tomato Fiction Network ☆ -''.-f'Tomato □ Say ▽ Net ☆ '-'.

The severe headache made Kiriko subconsciously close her eyes, but this instantly reminded her of the painful situation after losing all her senses...... Kiriko woke up instantly, but the pain was deeply engraved in the depths of her memory, and it was difficult to erase it......

It's just that what Kiriko doesn't know is that the pain she experienced at the moment may not even be half of what it was at the beginning, after all, when they just got out of that state and didn't have time to reminisce, they were all drunk with wine at once, and now after the wine wakes up, only God knows how much of that residual pain can be left. Tomato Novel Network☆ -''.-f'In other words, Kiriko's feelings at the moment are nothing more than a revised memory......

Although this memory still means unspeakable horror, it has reached an acceptable level, hasn't it...... Don't underestimate humanity's ability to escape reality!

quietly calmed down the agitation in his heart, but Kiriko didn't dare to close his eyes for a while, so he had to sit there, staring out the window in a daze. She didn't deliberately think about anything, in fact, her current physical state didn't allow her to think more, just the action in that daze made her feel rare comfort......

Maybe it's really the preciousness that you can only feel after you lose it, even if it's the blue sky and snow that you usually ignore all the time, it looks so full of spirituality at this time...... Should we say that humans are really cheap bones......

After a while, Kana and Tsubasa also woke up one after another, but none of them were in much better shape than Kiriko. □All of them had a bitter face because of a headache, and just looking at their painful expressions at the moment could make an old drunkard quit drinking......

However, as soon as there were many people, the sorrow that Kiriko didn't know what to do and didn't know what to end just now was reduced by half, and even the fear buried deep in his heart was re-hidden. The girls looked at each other and smiled bitterly...... No one could have imagined even a day ago that they would fall into such a situation, that they would have to stop because of fear......

None of them spoke, even if they didn't know what to say, all because they weren't in such a good mood. Tomato ○☆△ Net ☆ -'-.'f'q-x-s'-.-com It is enough to be able to sit here together. But it didn't take long for the rumbling of someone's stomach to suddenly break the silence. It was so funny that the expressions on the girls' faces softened a little bit, and Kana took the bread and water from her backpack and gave it to the rest of her companions......

Thirst and hunger are inevitable after a hangover, and the girls have experienced the preciousness of this blandness after the trial, so they eat even the most ordinary bread and water with relish. In a few moments, the basket of bread was all gone. And I don't know if it's because of eating, anyway, Kiriko at this time feels a lot more comfortable than before......

"The words after that...... What are you going to do? After finishing a meal that I don't know if it should be breakfast or lunch, Asuna took some sugar cubes and a lemon from her backpack to keep the silence she had just had. Originally, she carried all the ingredients with her, but at the moment, no one cared about so much.

Cutting the lemon into small slices and holding it in your mouth, feeling the mixture of bitterness and sourness, almost instantly, people can't help but wrinkle their faces together, but this feeling is loved by them at this moment. Perhaps only such a strong stimulus can make them realize that they are still alive...... It was under such circumstances that Kiriko, as the captain of this team, asked slowly......

"I ...... too It's not very clear. Kana fiddled with the sugar jar in front of him with her fingers, and whispered a little absentmindedly, "I think I'll find a place to continue practicing, but the strategy ...... I don't want to do it again for a while, I'm really tired......"

Kana's words seem to resonate with the girls, in fact, in the three years since they entered the game, which day has they really rested? Every day is either an adventure or a fight, as Kana said...... I'm really tired. Purple's trial is just an opportunity to make players face their fears and make them feel resigned...... That's the scariest thing.

"I'll go to the library and read it...... I haven't read a book seriously for more than three years~~" Immediately after Kana, Tsubasa also said her thoughts, there are no special requirements, and it is enough for them who are about to quit from the front line to do something they like, it just so happens that ...... There are enough books in this world for her to pass the time.

"I'm going to live on the 23rd floor for a while, and you ...... with me."

"Huh? Well...... "Kiriko nodded subconsciously, but when she really reacted, she shook her head slightly...... Is that really good? She didn't know, but she knew very well that if she forced herself to continue, there would be absolutely no good results.

However, what the girls didn't know was that at the same moment, almost all the members of the strategy team had decided their direction, but at this moment they didn't have much to want to stay...... If you look at it this way, maybe Purple's idea has succeeded~ (To be continued.) )
