Reins did not waste any more time and decided to go straight to action. Even though she hadn't paid attention to Lillian and the others, that didn't mean she hadn't heard Lillian yelling and doing stupid things.

As soon as she made up her mind, Apaya's body changed—to a degree that made Reins panic for a moment. But the mercenary immediately calmed himself down. Panic doesn't do anything about things that have started and can't be stopped.

"Fili" has too much energy and is "obedient" and feels powerless. The idea of starting to separate the toxin from Apaya's blood just came to Rhines in her head, and the corresponding molecules came alive in response.

Although she was immediately aware of the situation and tried to calm them down considerably, she was unable to stop them before they began. All the toxins in Apaya's body were separated from his blood in an instant, and this overly strong action in the veins would put a certain burden on the body.

The change happened so quickly and ended in the blink of an eye that it was a moment before Apaya felt the belated pain.

"Hmm-" Although he tried to hold back his cry of pain, in addition to the pain, the soreness of the impact on his blood vessels made him unable to suppress himself, "I don't think you want to take this opportunity to take revenge on me, do you?" ”

Rhine, who was nervous because of this uncontrollable situation, glared at him angrily.

"I won't take revenge on you this way—and what am I going to do against you?"

Rheinth tried to control the toxins more finely, and Appaya grinned, focusing her attention on Rheins's face.

"Come to think of it, if I'm not mistaken, you have made me face some deadly dangers without any combat power...... If I annoyed you before that. Apaya rubbed the back of Rheins' hand with her fingers, "As for what this time it was for...... For example, is it because I reminded you that I was not treating our lives with some sweetness before? ”

Reins raised an eyebrow, she didn't rush to answer Apaya's words, she just mobilized those toxins while carefully observing the changes in his expression. It was only after she was able to get the toxins flowing without obvious pain in Apaya that she allowed herself to be distracted to respond.

"A surprising statement, Apaya." "I suspect you'll regret what you just said when you're back to normal later—it's a bit too much for you...... Ah, as you yourself use the word, 'sweet'. Maybe you're in pain and can't think normally? ”

Apaya had a look like a toothache.

"So that's why I don't usually do it, and you're going to discourage me." He complained, "Can't you honestly admit that you like this?" Obviously just attacking me awkwardly because of shyness - oh. ”

The blonde engineer's facial muscles contorted with the sudden intensification of pain, and it was clear that he had just been too busy talking to control his reactions.

"Maybe I shouldn't be considerate of you." The silver-haired mercenary gritted his teeth and said, "You shouldn't have time to talk more, right?" ”

Her tone made Sirua on the side tremble imperceptibly, and he quietly pulled Ticharo out of his position, lest they become cannon fodder who were unfortunately killed in the quarrel between the two.

The person who really annoyed Rhines was not afraid of her bluff, but after much thought he decided to stop for a while, so Apaya no longer tried to provoke her patience, but obediently leaned against the stone platform next to her and sat there quietly looking at Rhine, he noticed that she did not have the same tense face as before, and nodded to himself with satisfaction in his heart.

After being messed up by Apaya, Reins found herself unable to feel any more nervous, and she regained her spirits, slowly directing the toxin to avoid vital organs in the direction of her fingers, while trying to awaken the activity in Apaya's blood.

The previous erosion of the toxin had severely affected the life energy in Apaya's body, and if he could not reactivate his bodily functions, even if the toxin was removed, it would only prevent him from continuing to die.

However, the result of awakening is not very ideal, the activity in the blood has been almost completely destroyed by the toxin, if you talk about the blood itself, it naturally does not have such a function of repairing its own vitality, so Rheins can only choose other ways.

"Most of the blood is gone, and now it's just barely running, it won't last long, and if it goes on like this, it will affect the new blood." Reins tilted her head to look at Apaya, "I'll need to replace all your blood when I release the toxin out of your body." ”

Appaya looked at Reins, who had not taken the next step, with some confusion, and he even tilted his head in confusion.

"Hmm, so what? What's wrong? ”

Rhines stared at him with round eyes and condemnation. Although she really wanted to question how the other party could face such a thing as "replacing the blood of the whole body" so lightly, she also knew that it was because she was doing it, so Apaya would not have any doubts.

…… But holding it back like this and not saying it really made her uncomfortable.

"......," Apaya sighed, "If you want to say anything, just say it, I won't complain." ”

Reins pursed her mouth slightly, and squirted disgruntled from her nose.

"What do you mean by that?" She narrowed her eyes at Apaya, "Am I wronged you?" 'Complaints'? ”

Appaya shrunk his neck, he understood what it meant to say too much, no matter what the mercenary was doing or what kind of state it was, it would definitely not prevent her from verbally attacking her. And when he says the wrong thing, it's not that silence solves the problem.

"It won't be over if you don't explain it clearly, Apaya."

Reins whispered a threat before pulling out a knife to bleed Apaya's hand, and Apaya was horrified to find that she didn't know if she should be glad that she had escaped for a short time.

You know, there are things that don't get easier to solve the longer you drag on.

The silver-haired mercenary didn't pay attention to his complicated feelings, and she slashed Appaya's fingers neatly with her knife, then turned her attention to his organs. Although "Fili's" ability allows Apaya's skin to open a channel for the toxins to drain out of on its own, she would rather do it with a knife - if she accidentally gets Apaya's hand out of the way, it will be a nuisance.

Unlike blood, which has no ability to regenerate, the organs themselves are "alive", so she can use "Fili" to awaken the vitality of each of their molecules. Luckily, they had caught eye on Apaya's situation just now, and Elianne had protected Apaya's internal organs before the toxin could destroy them. If the internal organs are destroyed, then use the ability of "Fili" to ...... She wasn't sure if the Engineer's pain would break her soul before her body was damaged.

Even so, it is still an unbearable feeling to do something to the other person's internal organs while he is awake, and this is not something that can be changed by trust or not. Looking at Apaya's frowning brow, Reins began to think seriously, since it was not good no matter what, should she be ruthless to the end?

She looked at Apaya again, and finally suppressed the tempting thought—Apaya had a shadow over the matter, and said that it would be unpleasant to have some not-so-good associations with herself.

Appaya shuddered subconsciously, he was sure that his mercenary was having some bad calculations, and although he was sure that the other party would not really do anything to him, he still looked at her helplessly.

“…… What are you doing looking at me like this? ”

Underneath Rhine's innocent tone was a weakness that only Apaya could understand, which made the latter want to reach out and flick her forehead - of course, if he could, he wouldn't push too hard.

"Do whatever you want, mercenary, as long as you don't kill me." Apaya smirked at Rhine, "My life is yours anyway. ”

Reins raised an eyebrow, she had never remembered anything that had led Apaya to make such a declaration, and she had to guess that the pain had made Apaya speechless...... Oh, and the positive one, of course, turned into a sweet-talking slippery head.

If you want Apaya to say something nice in the future, maybe this method will be more appropriate?

"It's clear from your face that you don't understand what I'm trying to say." Apaya muttered, the toxin leaving his body seemed to make him a lot easier, even though his body had not yet recovered, "But...... Well, I didn't say it clearly. ”

After completing the disposal of the internal organs, Rheinth, who only had to wait for the blood exchange to be completed, squinted at him. The process of rescuing Apaya was easy to say, but she was worried that she would accidentally mess with an unknown part of Apaya, and she couldn't get out of the state of freeing "Fili" just yet, because she didn't know if there was any risk in the next steps.

So the mental exhaustion made her not want to ask the damn appetizer Appaya now.

Apaya thoughtfully didn't challenge her patience anymore, he looked down at their hands, and then shook them at her.

"You see, you said at that time, no matter what it is, you will protect my life. Although......" Appaya paused for a moment as if remembering something before continuing, "though...... I did something stupid, but I don't think I need to stick to that oath before, do I? ”

Appaya looked at the eyes that were staring at him for a moment, different from usual, and although it was inconvenient for him to touch the other's head now, he still bent the corners of his mouth upward.

"I give you my people, I give you my life, I give you my soul." Apaya said seriously, "I know it's nowhere near as good as your previous vows, but I want to be with you all the time. ”

The pair of golden orange eyes blinked, and a certain warm emotion gradually floated in the eyes that were originally indifferent because of "Fili", dissolving the distance that made people feel unreachable when they looked at it.

“…… Engineer. ”
