Snow Castle, 3rd floor.

Four-person room and living room.

Scooping up a spoonful of cucumber soup, Lucina, humming a little song, was just about to put it in her mouth, but was startled by the sound of the door opening and almost burned herself. Hurriedly holding the spoon steadily, she immediately turned her head and shouted in a dissatisfied voice, "Are you sick, mad dog?!"

"Crazy, are you satisfied?" lazily closing the door, Ceresya yawned and walked slowly to the dining table, "Can't you try to get used to it? I'm afraid we'll have to live together for years." ”

"It's really a sin to live with your psychotic for years......" Putting down the spoon, Lucina shook her legs that couldn't touch the ground in anger: "Why should I get used to it?

"No, you can't. I just don't want to change. Throwing a bag to the knight's plate, the mad dog approached Lusa with a look of great pleasure and touched the girl's head: "Ah...... It's nice to have a sister. ”

"You think of her as a sister, I haven't agreed yet. Unwilling to look at the mad dog, Lucina turned her gaze to Minia, who was busy eating a large brioche cake. Since he had no teeth, he had to find a way to swallow it directly into his mouth. Seeing her working so hard, Lucina grabbed the pancake in distress and tore it into small pieces to feed her.

"Why should I have your consent?" immediately choked Lucina at a very fast pace, and the mad dog, who had just finished hugging his sister, took out a large bag of things and handed it to Lusa with a gentle expression that had never been shown to outsiders: "Here, your brother and I asked for imported candy from Mace." ”

Younger sister...... This guy's original sister was killed by his crazy father, right? Before she could say something, Lucina suddenly decided that it would be better not to recall his memories again: the original mad dog regarded his sister as the most important family member, and witnessing her murdered by her father, who was also a relative, definitely left an indelible shadow on her. Perhaps it was in retaliation for all this that Selesya claimed many lives as an Assassin.

But I'm always feeling bad...... Watching Lusa and Mad Dog's incomparably intimate movements and conversations, Lucina, who was sitting on the side, was a little sullen: although it was a good thing that Lusa could protect her with a brother who was still reliable in times of crisis, and Mad Dog also urgently needed a sister to fill the gap in her heart, the ending could be described as a happy ending - but when watching them intimacy, it was inevitable that she would feel a little lost as a sister and Lusa's lover.

It's like...... It feels like Lusa's dependence on a part of herself is like love being taken away. And her feelings for mad dogs are different from those with knights. Because what the latter insisted on saying was like an adoptive father who took Geos's place.

Although it was a good thing to know that her sister could rely on her more than herself, Lucina still felt lost: maybe it was because she was too tired from the five-year journey? Invisibly, her importance to Lusha seemed to have diminished - I was no longer her only confidant and companion. With two more travelers who don't have to worry about the curse, Lusha is gradually regaining many of the emotions that were taken away from her by the curse......

The proof of this is the smile that grows day by day when there are no outsiders. If there were only four people in the room, she wouldn't even be obsessed with wearing a hood anymore. Although she was still silent, Lucina was happy to see her transformation: after two days when her mana was fully restored, she would summon the stone demon Guradan. I haven't seen him for a long time, so I'll have to talk to him when the time comes.

"What do you see, jealous?" was chatting happily with Lusa, and Mad Dog glanced over to this side proudly, "We'll say it if you're envious." ”

"Huh, why should I envy you?" muttered in retort, Lucina sped up shaking her legs, "I can sleep with Lusa in my arms, can you?"

"I'm not a pervert, I'm too lazy to do that kind of thing. The mad dog, who innocently denied it and didn't eat this trick at all, sat back in his position and looked here: "You two are already sitting in children's chairs, why are you still not short enough?"

"This can't be helped, Cold Snow Castle must only have this height. The knight, who had not spoken, finally spoke, "Because there are no children in the castle, ......do you?"

"No, it's a children's chair indeed. Mace sat decades ago and has been stacked in warehouses. Patting the dough that had finished eating the pancake and had risen in a circle, Lucina's bored knife repeatedly poked the bread, imagining that it was a mad dog: "This can't be helped? The Snowman is much taller than normal humans, not to mention that we are still Aya?"

"Get a carpenter to make two chairs for you. Adding another steak to the plate in front of him, the serious knight swallowed the food in his mouth before speaking again: "Anyway, we can't leave for the time being. ”

"If you really want to leave, just take a boat from Beihaiwang. Immediately responding, the mad dog looked at Lusha leisurely, "Let's talk." If it's dangerous enough to break the curse, we'll leave. There's no need to be a corpse with these stupid big guys. ”

"Silly big guy...... It seems that this is indeed the case. Perhaps the ideas are really similar, but Lucina actually thinks that the metaphor of the mad dog is very expressive. Munching on a sweet baked apple, she noticed that the knight seemed to want to say not to talk while chewing, so she immediately asked vaguely, "By the way, mad dog." Why did it take so long for you to deliver a watch to Deerno?"

"Oh, I even brought him a sandwich by the way, so it was a bit of a delay. With a hiccup, Seresa coughed: "Because he wasn't hungry, he was all eaten by me." almost killed Lao Tzu. ”

"You definitely have something else to talk about. Recalling the usual gobbling up of bread by mad dogs, Lucina asked with interest: "You said at breakfast that you were very interested in it." ”

"Of course I'm interested, especially after hearing from Eddes that one of the unlucky guys who came to deliver the letter last night never returned to the barracks. Leaning back, Mad Dog narrowed his eyes: "I've been studying the notes left by the bachelor, but I can't find the hidden information in them. If you can find a way to track these monsters to their hiding places, you may be able to get some clues and progress. As I guess, they must have taken refuge in the underground passages and connected to the ruins—"

"Wait, wait!" Lucina hurriedly stopped the mad dog and continued, "You said so fast that I couldn't keep up...... Why do you think that the passage can connect to the ruins? doesn't that mean they know where the ruins are?"

"It's just a gut feeling. They all know about secret passages that no one knows, so it's normal to know that ruins exist. Shrugging his shoulders, Mad Dog showed an indifferent expression: "There were so many soldiers brought in from Cold Snow Castle that night, where were all these corruptors before that? In my opinion, there is so much space for underground ruins." ”
