In those days of living in prison, at a time when she didn't know how to describe it with the word "silence", the silence was a terrible nightmare for her.

Originally, she didn't think there was anything terrible about the black room, but since Lady Detilla came to the prison one day, she slowly developed a fear of the black room, because she was told that the darkness was terrifying, and if she angered others, or caused trouble to others, then monsters that ate bad children would come out of the shadows and devour her.

She wouldn't have found the quiet space unbearable, but when Lanoda became her friend with Roset, she realized that having someone to talk to was something that made her happy. Two years ago, Rosette left prison, and a year later, Ranoda also left. It was then that she discovered that "silence" was such a frightening existence that she would even rejoice at Lady Detilla's voice, because it proved that she had not been forgotten, even if she was just scolded.

She had never enjoyed a silent environment like she did now. It was like soaking in warm water, but she didn't have to worry about her clothes getting soaked, which was a strange feeling.

But the feeling of being comfortably empty didn't last long, and the warm feeling of wellness faded at a speed that didn't make her feel abrupt, and she seemed to feel something touching her forehead, something was a little cold, but it wasn't freezing to the bone, and it hastened her out of that warmth. After a few seconds, she realized that it seemed to be a human hand.

The scene before the coma flooded into her mind, and Bianco, who realized that her sudden loss of consciousness might have caused trouble, struck a spirit. The feeling of being softly bound in her hands and feet dissipated instantly, and she opened her eyes suddenly, not even realizing what she saw in her eyes for a while.

The surroundings were still silent, much better than the noise that had almost made her unbearable. Bianko blinked, and she found that there seemed to be two people sitting next to her, she thought it should be Lanoda and Rosette, of course, the young master would not sit on the edge of her bed, that would be "out of identity".

But they didn't seem to notice that she was awake, and they turned their heads to talk to the person next to them.

…… Why can't she hear them?

A sense of panic that welled up in her heart made Bianko turn her head and look at the person beside her. Rosette, who had kept her hand on her forehead, immediately sensed her movement, quickly turned her head, and leaned down to Bianko's face.

Biancole looked worried when she saw Rosette's mouth open and closed, she must have said something, but she couldn't hear it.

Bianko tried to tell Rosette that she couldn't hear what she was saying, but then she realized that she couldn't even hear her own voice, which caused her to panic for a moment.

Won't she hear it in the future? Lanorda's energetic and passionate voice, Rosette's gentle voice, and ...... There is also the young master's voice, although he is impatient most of the time, but occasionally speaks patiently to her.

- No, she doesn't want that, she'd rather hear the noise all the time than not hear it!

Rosette and Lanorda hugged Bianco, who was curled up, and remembered the distress they felt when they heard Bianko's voice.

"I, hear, don't see—you speak, speak!"

The girl suddenly raised her voice halfway through with strange emphasis, and although it made their ears ache a little, Bianco's next reaction immediately made them understand what was going on.

"Don't be afraid, Biya, we'll figure it out, don't be afraid."

Even though they knew that the girl couldn't hear them now, they still wanted to appease Bianko, who was whispering "I can't hear".

"I shouldn't have asked her to do that." Lanoda whimpered, tears in her eyes, "I knew it was something that Biya wouldn't control yet......"

"Don't do that, Rano......," Rosette said in a low voice, "I don't know what caused it yet, and if you're too busy blaming yourself, I can't fix it myself." ”

"We've got to find a way to calm Biya down first." Lanoda rubbed her eyes quickly and shook her head, "Tell her to write?" …… No, no, Biya is illiterate......"

Lanoda's unintentional words seemed to prick Kyild like a needle, and he subconsciously twitched his hand, feeling an indescribable suffocation in his heart.

After Biancole passed out, they hurried into the town of Timai. They split into two groups, with Lanoda and Rosette following Kyild and Bianko to the largest inn in town, while Wokan and Leti went to the town's doctor.

The doctor's diagnosis of Bianko was that the brain was stimulated in a short period of time and extremely tired, so Bianko went into hibernation, but the doctor did not say anything abnormal about her hearing.

He had never seen Bianko like this, and although he rarely had contact with her, that didn't mean he didn't know what that silly girl was like. Even if he always didn't have a good face for her, she would always run to him stupidly and persistently, and never complained about him.

The other two women who weren't smart enough in his eyes made him suspect that the girl would suffocate even though he hugged Bianko, but he could still see tears rolling in those black eyes, which didn't reveal such panic as they did when he first left prison, all of which made him feel terrible.

…… The worst thing is that it is clear that her sudden deafness this time is not directly caused by him, but he feels uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Lanoda and Rosette would only clumsily hug Bianco, and their mouths were uselessly saying comforting words, didn't they see that the girl had not calmed down at all, but was even more flustered?

"Wokan, Letty, pull them away." Kyild rubbed his forehead with a headache, "She's almost suffocated." ”

The two men looked at each other, then at Kyld's expression, to make sure that he was serious about making the offer, before stepping forward and pulling his house's supervised away as gently as possible.

"Vaukan, what are you going to do!"

Lanorda's eyes were red as she glared at Wokan, and Rosette wasn't much better. The two overseers innocently turned to look at Kyird, waiting for an explanation as he made his decision.

"You're only going to make her more confusing." Kyild said impatiently, "You are not calm, why do you want to calm her down?" This kind of performance only makes her feel that she will not be better in the future. ”

Kilde's statement stunned Lanoda and Rosette, who looked at each other helplessly, then at their supervisor.

Kyild ignored their confusion and walked slowly in the direction of Biankom. The girl just stared blankly at the two friends after they left, and shrunk herself on the edge of the bed. As he approached, those black eyes stared at him wetly, like a frightened newborn beast, frightened, but still with trust and dependence.

…… What had he done to make her trust him so much to this day?

Kyild sighed and made a decision with some self-defeat.

"You all go out first." He turned to the four people who were standing there stupidly and said, "Go get some food, I don't want to hear the sound of hunger in a while." ”

Although the place where the three women had been held had turned into darkness, as they approached the town of Timae, the sky gradually returned to normal. After a busy meal, it's just the real middle of the night.

Wokan blinked, then laughed sheepishly, and he led the man out of the room despite Lanorda's struggles, and Rosette hesitated for a moment before following Leti away.

Kyald walked slowly to the bedside, hesitated for a moment, and sat down in front of Bianko.

He definitely didn't feel sorry for this silly girl, but he was a little soft-hearted by her pitiful expression.

He didn't know if it would work, but it was better than the annoying scene just now.

Kryd tapped his lips with his finger, motioning for Biancole to focus on his mouth. He mouth-to-mouthed slowly, loudly, trying to make Bianko's eyes look at the words he was saying.

"Look. I. Say. Target. Speech. ”

He said word for word, and after repeating it a few times, he saw Bianko blink and nod hesitantly.

Well, although talking like this is very tiring, and even makes him feel like he is sweating. But since the silly girl could read—or at least seemed to understand—he hadn't worked in vain.

"Heavy. Complex. Kyald tapped Bianco's mouth with his hand, and then tapped her throat gently, "You." Repeat. I. Say. Target. ”

When he saw Bianko's face wrinkled a little tangled, he added, "You." Say. Speech. ”

Kryde and Bianko's eyes froze for a few seconds, and just as Kylde pondered whether to give up and find another way, Bianko spoke loudly and strangely.

"I repeat、What did you say?"

Although the girl's voice was a little deafening, he still appreciated the girl's rare ability to understand.

"Small. Sound. Kyild said as he made a downward gesture, "Very." Noisy. ”

It was only when Biancole had finally stabilized her voice after repeated mistakes that Kyild breathed a sigh of relief. If the girl repeats the wrong word, he shakes his head in denial, slows down, and mouth-molds her again until she repeats it. Just the process of checking the volume made him feel like sweat was going to run down his head.

And so on. I. ”

After a brief explanation, Kyild threw his coat, which he had not had time to unfasten, onto the hanger, then rolled up his sleeves and unbuttoned the top two buttons. He tugged at his collar to dissipate heat before sitting back down in front of Bianko.

He let out a long sigh at the thought of what he was going to make her understand.

"We. Yes. Think. Way. Kryder pointed to his ear, then Bianko's, "No." Always. Such. You. OK. Again. Hear. ”

The sentence was perhaps too long, and Kyld suspected that it had taken him more than ten minutes to get Bianko to repeat the correct words.

But, well, the girl's look of re-raising her spirits still made him feel more satisfied.

"What the hell, where did they get their food?" Kyild leaned back and fanned himself with his hands a little impatiently, "This hotel is such a big place, can you still get lost?" ”

Complaining as usual didn't lead to any response, the words were too quick for Bianko's eyes, she couldn't read what he was saying, not to mention that he was still facing Bianko.

Just as Kyild was about to go out to look for them, he felt a chill coming from his side, and he turned back to see Biancole obediently fanning him with the map they had set aside.

…… Forget it, just wait for them.
