Section F Chapter 20: Worry (Anusen)
Let her say that, it seems like it really is...... Embarrassed by his irrational gaffe, the knight pinched his sore cervical vertebrae, which made a "click" sound from time to time, and stared at the mad dog carefully: Why didn't I calm down and think about it for a while?
"It's not like you, knight. Staring intently at the mad dog, Lucina said with great interest: "You were obviously rational and reliable when you encountered something before." What's going on here?"
"Nothing. Probably worried too much about this guy. Sighing ashamedly, Anusen let go of his grip on the hilt of his sword: "Because I have lost a lot of memories before, this guy now occupies the most space in my impression - except for the old man Legre. ”
"Oh, that old bachelor. You told me, so it's a bit impressed. Lowering her voice again, Lucina leaned sideways and put her weight all on the knight. The petite body is so light that you don't feel the weight at all. However, even through the heavy coat, you can still feel the smoothness of Aya's skin.
"But you've known Lusa longer than Mad Dog, right?" Turning his head to look at Cereya, the mage asked curiously, "She's only that small an impression she made on you?"
"No, quite the opposite. I don't remember why, but I was so impressed by the emir's family. After a moment's hesitation, the knight changed his words apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's your family." ”
"Ah, don't worry about that. I haven't been to your place every time, and it's normal for you not to remember me. Moreover, I don't have a last name either. Smiling and turning her head, Lucina suddenly lowered her voice any lower: "Why did you know our family...... You really can't remember anything about it?"
There is no last name...... Hearing this, Anusen once again wondered why she insisted on not having her last name, and she always said that she didn't know why, but this excuse always made the knight feel suspicious.
"Not impressed. Leaving the superfluous distractions behind, the knight was silent for a moment after a crisp denial, and then said again, "It's just ...... I vaguely think it has something to do with my family. ”
"Oh, it's your wife, right? I was touched by the hooded man but I still can't completely forget it, and I must have a good relationship with me. After saying this carefully, Lucina seemed to notice that the knight's expression was a little sad, so she hurriedly pulled the corner of the knight's coat and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned her......"
“...... Well. It took a long time, and the knight had a strange and complicated expression, and only held back this one word. However, his mood rippled at Lucina's words, and he could not calm down at all: judging from the vague fragments of memory, he definitely had a wife, or a daughter, anyway, in the intermittent memories, she was a woman with a vague figure and a difficult appearance.
But where was she now? She had been attacked by the Shadow Demon the day before she left, and she had nearly died. Judging from the fact that he was staying in the living room and didn't leave for a long time, he was definitely covering her to leave. Is she safe now? Maybe I made an appointment with her at the time to meet at the time, but I didn't go as agreed. In any case, his role as a husband or father is a complete dereliction of duty.
In any case, these questions are destined to remain unanswered for the time being. Now I can only silently pray for her to the guardian angel for safety every day. It was the only action a retired Templar could take - and that would give him some peace of mind.
"You have a strange expression. Pulling the knight's placket, Lucina whispered in a worried voice, "Is it really okay?"
Her expression was really so special, and she wanted to see her face just now, and the knight slowed down his expression and tried to calm his stiff face: "I'm okay. Focus, Lucina. Your sister has been keeping an eye on the surroundings, and you're helping too. ”
"I thought, but it's so dark. Hanging her head aggrievedly, Lucina's tone was extremely deflated: "Mad dogs have such good hearing, and Lusa can also see at night, so leave it to them." ”
No matter how good our hearing is, we can't hear the wind so loudly, right? And even if we hear it, it can't do anything as a decoy to remind us...... Casting his gaze back on the mad dog, the knight's nervous mood was gradually filled with a sense of anticipation that had cooled down: it had been several minutes since the monster had been lured out, and there seemed to be little hope. This shady plan was not expected to succeed in the first place, and now it is to be expected, and there is nothing to be disappointed about.
"Anyway, we have to set a time, or we don't give up if we don't follow that guy's temper and don't freeze ourselves. Still unable to put his mind at ease, the knight himself was a little chilled by the cold wind: "Wait five more minutes at most." If the monster doesn't show up, we'll drag the mad dog away. ”
"That...... Sister. As soon as the knight's words fell, Lusa, who was turning to look behind her, whispered uneasily, "I seem to see something hiding in the snow and mist." ”
"Which side and which side?" was immediately intrigued by this remark, and Lucina hurriedly shook her body and looked around: "Did you really see it?"
Aren't you afraid of the dark? Why are you more energetic than anyone else at this time...... "Be quiet, don't move." Frowning, the knight covered Aya's mouth. Unable to contain the same excitement, Anusen took a deep breath and asked in a hoarse voice, "Lusa, point to their position." ”
"Right there. Turning slightly to face behind her, a slightly trembling Lusha pointed to the woodland in the distance: "You should be able to see the phantom faintly...... Two monsters more than three meters tall. ”
Taken aback, the knight and Lucina looked in the direction where Lusa was pointing, but saw nothing. No matter how closely he looked around, he couldn't find the monster that Lusa was talking about: if he was there, he should be conspicuous.
"Didn't you see?" As if noticing that the two knights' expressions were wrong, Lusa hung her head in frustration and whispered, "I didn't lie, I really saw ......"
"My sister didn't suspect you of lying, it's just that it's too dark for us to see. Hurriedly comforting her sister, Lucina said in a tone without doubt: "You can see at night, you must be able to see clearly." ”
Listening to Lucina's words, the knight secretly thought to himself: Is this possible? The tall biophysical should be very conspicuous, and it is not at all something that the night can completely obscure...... And there are two more.
