"And so it was!"

Seeing the 'puppet' hovering on the balcony turn to leave, the three Merlins, who had already jumped into the darkness, were overjoyed.

"Her scope of activity is only the annex, as long as she leaves the annex, she will have no way to act!"

Merlin's inspiration in that moment gave the three of them real safety.

But......

"We ...... How do you get out of here? ”

Abbe looked around, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and it was clear that a new problem had arisen.

"Well, there's always a way."

If it was three minutes ago, Merlin could have tried to open the teleportation array one more time. However, in order to prevent the 'dolls' from jumping off the balcony together, Merlin used the power in his soul at all times in the last hour.

Until now, he has turned back into an ordinary person, because of excessive blood loss, he even has a feeling of vertigo.

"Uh-haha, Merlin, you're so embarrassed now."

Maybe it's the relationship that the crisis has eliminated, and Nana Jia has also changed back to her original appearance at this time. She pointed to Merlin, who was lying on Abbe's lap, and laughed loudly.

"If you change it, it won't be much better if you lose so much blood."

I was worried that the 'puppet' would not be found, but now that the crisis has been resolved, the symptoms of excessive blood loss have all exploded at once.

Although he was enshrined by Abbe with a knee pillow, Merlin didn't have time to enjoy the touch behind his head at this time, and he was dizzy, and he could endure the discomfort and complain about Nanajia, which was already quite a good table.

"Hey, hey, hey, who made you want to be a hero."

Nanaja smiled. But I don't know if it's Merlin's delusion, but he saw worry and accusation in the other party's eyes.

It's not just her, she's providing Merlin with a death-defying Abbe. Although her movements were gentle, the expression on her face was as full of reproach as Nanajia.

“…… Well, I know wrong, I won't do it next time. ”

In the end, Merlin chose to raise his hand, not what the girls looked at. It's just Merlin, who doesn't want the two people in front of him to show such expressions as if they were crying.

"Good!" Hearing Merlin's answer, Nanajia nodded with satisfaction. Then, looking at Abbey, she said as if intentionally or unintentionally, "Abbey." You're not tired. Why don't I change you? ”

"No, I'm very happy to be able to take care of Merlin."

Abbe didn't hesitate to reject Nanajia's construction, what kind of joke, it was okay when he fled before, and now let Merlin and Nana Jia create a ** atmosphere, no matter how you think about it, you are also creating enemies!

Abbe didn't want his rival to increase, even if that person was his friend.

"That's right. Then Abbe, you take care of Merlin first, and I'll go around and have a little look. ”

Hear Abbe's answer. Nanajia's face couldn't help but darken, but in the next moment, she regained her cheerful appearance, and didn't give Abbe and Merlin a chance to stop her, and disappeared directly into the darkness between running and jumping.

"Nanajia, don't leave!"

"Don't worry, I'm not going far."

Nanajia's answer made Merlin and Abbe's hearts relax a little, and the conversations from time to time after that also allowed the two to confirm Nanajia's safety.

However, what Merlin and Abbe didn't know was that although the tone had not changed, Nanajia, who was on the other side of the darkness, looked as if she was about to cry at the moment.

Abbe did nothing wrong!

Yes, she wasn't wrong!

Although she thinks so, the sadness and distortion in her heart torments Nana Jia all the time.

When did it start?

Nanajia, who had already sensed something, lowered her head, as if trying to find out when the seed in her heart was planted, the ...... Named Seeds of Love.

When did you like it?

Merlin's first sight? The moment when Merlin revealed the meaning of cooking? The void you feel when you lift with Merlin? Lonesome? Or later, in the course of a long journey, you slowly fell in love with it?

Nana Jia herself didn't know, and by the time she woke up, it was already too late.

The seed in her heart has already grown into a big tree, and the tree is full of fruits, and in each fruit, she and his happy memories are recorded.

Really, I envy Abbe......

It was the jealousy that belonged to Nanaja, and she confessed, on the balcony, smelling the blood in the air, and looking at Merlin's weak appearance, her heart ...... It hurts.

It was a heart-rending pain, beyond the care of normal friends......

It is precisely because of this relationship that Nanajia will make the same choice as Abbe in the future - even if she dies, she will stay by Merlin's side!

It's an emotion that can no longer be ignored, and it's only a matter of time before it's noticed.

It's just that...... Merlin, and Abbe are a couple! If you want to snatch love by yourself or something, you can't do it at all!

Nanajia smiled bitterly, originally thought that Abbe's hostility towards her was just a misunderstanding, but now it seems that the misunderstanding was actually herself from the beginning......

The girl cried silently, this was the first time she felt real despair and helplessness since she was misunderstood by her sister when she was a child.

Even in the chase with the 'puppet', she never really despaired......

If I had known Merlin earlier than Abbe, wouldn't it have been different for a qiē?

Nana Jia stood up, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands. It's been ten minutes, and if they don't go back, Merlin and Abbe will worry about themselves.

It's okay, Nanajia, you are a happy elf, as long as you bury that emotion again, you can restore it to its original state!

Nanajia, who hinted at herself, reappeared with an innocent smile on her face, and she regained her life as a happy girl, and in order not to expose her lies, after quickly probing the surrounding environment, she returned to the place where Merlin and Abbe rested.

She erased a trace of qiē, and wanted to pretend to be fine, but her eyes were red, did she really leave nothing?

"Nanajia. Are you okay? ”

Abbe, who saw Nanajia's state at the moment, asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

In order to confirm their own words. Nana Jia also raised her hands and made a pose of a beauty pageant.

"Poof—Nanajia, you're the type with no muscles at all."

Merlin couldn't help but complain, after a period of recovery, he had recovered from the state of the knee pillow.

"Huh?! Even if it's me, I have muscles~" Nana Jia pointed to her stomach, "I scared you to death when I said it, I'm a girl with eight-pack abs!" ”

"I don't believe it."

Merlin leaned against Abbe's body. She cast a suspicious look at the piece of clothing on Nanajia's belly, a woman with eight-pack abs, do you think you are the third master?

Huh? Speaking of which, who is the third master?

Merlin was startled by the thought that popped into his mind. But now is not the time to dwell on your memories.

"Abbe, Nanajia, give me a hand."

Merlin who stood up from the ground by the two of them. Didn't plan to continue wasting time here.

"How's the situation around?"

Merlin looked at Nanaja. What to do next depends on the information that Nana Jia brought back.

"There's a forest not far ahead, and I didn't dare to go in." Speaking of this, Nana Jia couldn't help but laugh first, "It's such a dark sky, I don't dare to go in alone." ”

"Then let's go over together."

Merlin made a direct decision, although the forest may be more dangerous than the annex, but continue to stay here. The three of them will surely die of starvation.

"Do you want me to hold you on the other side?"

"Okay."

"It's easier for me, too."

Originally, it was just a proposal made by Nana Jia with the idea of teasing, but she didn't think of it. What I got was the happy consent of the two.

This time, it made her a little embarrassed.

"Forehead ......"

The emotions that had just been sealed seemed to have grown a little stronger again, and the seal seemed to be about to crack.

"What's wrong?"

Merlin's voice sounded just in time, and he looked at Nana Jia with some confusion. It doesn't seem to be any different from the usual touch?

"Huh?! Oh! I'm coming! ”

Nana Jia woke up from a dream and stepped forward in a panic and put Merlin's left hand on her shoulder.

Her lowered cheeks were stained with red glow, and Abbe, who was standing on the other side of Merlin, couldn't help but feel something more in her eyes when she looked at Nanajia.

"So, let's go!"

Merlin, whose hands are driven by the girls, is completely embracing left and right and looking like a winner in life...... Well, in a sense, he's a winner in life!

Winner in life or something, it's really the most annoying!

Well, go back to the story......

The woods weren't far from where Merlin and the others were resting, and although Merlin had slowed down, five minutes later, the three of them had reached the edge of the forest.

Well, it's the edge of the 'forest'......

"Nanajia, is this what you mean by the forest?"

Looking at the bald branches on the ground that were not yet his chest, Merlin couldn't help but want to complain.

And driving his Nanajia......

"Huh? That's not right! The forest I saw in front of me was obviously very tall! ”

Nanaja wouldn't lie, at least, she wouldn't lie to Merlin and Abeza like that would be punctured at a glance.

In other words......

Either the forest is getting smaller, or are we getting bigger?

Even Merlin didn't understand this space at this time.

After the horror annex, there is this forest that has become smaller, but what about after spending the forest? Where will they appear?

What else awaits them?

Merlin didn't know that it wasn't just him, Abbe and Nanaja, they had also fallen into endless chaos.

Only...... Keep going like this, don't you?

Merlin looked at the girls beside him, and in their eyes, he saw the same determination.

yes, go ahead until...... The end of the world! (To be continued......)
