"It's a real mess!"

"Huh?"

When I opened my eyes, it was the only reaction I could have from my state of bewilderment.

The brain is still stuck in a few fragments of the scene before the coma, Dawson in a panic, Nisben who directs the mercenaries to detain the "felon", and the shadow mage with a hint of smugness in the panic - Nine.

"Are you awake?" "Hey, hey, this way!"

Opening my eyes and closing them again, I began to make up the picture in my head.

(The voice...... It was Elpa's. Wait, why is Elpa here?)

（...... ）

I can't figure out why? Why Elpa is here. As an important strategic unit of the Rangers, why is she here?

"Hey, hey, I'm going to pluck your ears if you're pretending to be asleep. ”

"Ahh ”

It's like putting a spring on your waist, and you can do it with a "rub". After all, I don't want to do it again.

"Are you sure?"

Looking at Elpa's almost demonic smile, I nodded violently. Although I was down, I wasn't sure what I meant by nodding.

In fact, my consciousness was still stuck in the period of touching before I fell unconscious.

Blah ......blah blah bla , Tifa!

Yes! It's Tifa.

I left the forest to save Tifa. And then, and then what did I do?

"Tifa!"

Spit out a shout.

"Is that her?"

The voice is Ewen's. After all, they have served together and tried many times, and they can be easily recognized. Following the voice, there was a girl lying quietly on a hospital bed separated from me, two beds away from me.

"How is she?"

With little confirmation, I struggled out of the bed and walked over in three steps and two steps.

"It's just a coma, and people hit the back of the head. ”

As he spoke, Evin gestured with both hands and smashing with his knife.

"The person who did it didn't seem to mean to kill her, otherwise ......"

Ewen flattened his mouth and shrugged his shoulders.

Just as I reached out to take care of Tifa's sideburns.

"You come back to me, hurt like this and still care about others?"

Elpa's voice was almost accompanied by a pain in his ears. You can imagine how fast Elpa's hands are on your ears the moment you curse.

In Elpa's words, preaching must have an audience. There is no goal, I will teach whom.

I'm curious why this guy, as a rare kobold hunter, would choose to be a priest.

Pain, and happiness.

It's a phrase that Elpa often says.

(Flower arrangement: Elpa, a rare orc kobold species.) Inherited the unique familiarity of hairy children.,Unusually friendly to humans.。 Exclusive skills, bloody hunting. Profession, pastor. Cons, irresistible to cute things. ）

No, there are really few normal people in the women's team of the Rangers, including me. Perhaps, that's one of the reasons why I fit in.

"Elpa, I'm fine, look!"

After being forcibly dragged back to my hospital bed by Elpa, I sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, pouting like a cute.

"Come less, let the frost hurt so much that you can still run alive, you are the first. ”

"Smack!" Elpa slapped me the right shoulder,

"Does it hurt?"

"No....... ”

I felt it, and I could indeed feel the slap that Elpa. However, the position of the shoulder was just a numbness, and there was really no pain.

From Elpa's point of view, the looming mark on Anna's shoulder seemed to be contending with the frost on her skin. Moreover, those marks that flashed and disappeared in an instant made Elpa feel a palpitation.

It was a call to the beastly instinct.

Elpa felt that even if he just stared at it for a moment, he might lose his heart.

Elpa, who had tried to stabilize his mind, looked at Anna with the gentlest eyes.

"Don't come with me. If you have this injury, I can only suppress it. If you want to eradicate it completely, you have to go to the country!"

As he spoke, Elpa clasped his hands together. I closed my eyes and meditated on something, and the light that slowly flashed in my hand completely enveloped my right shoulder.

That feeling, very comfortable.

The original sense of incongruity is gone.

The hourglass-like sense of power consumption is gone, as if a cork had been added to the bottleneck. The mana that had been emanated exponentially was in a state of sluggishness. The recovery of mana in the body began to keep up with the rate of consumption, and even .......

Indeed, if El Lie hadn't appeared. Maybe I'll .......

The consequences are really unimaginable.

.......

Death is just a new beginning.

For the other me, it's like this.

My other self was watching me lose consciousness all the time. Every time "ta" wakes up, the dark side becomes stronger.

Help me, help me just so that this precious body doesn't get destroyed.

.......

After a moment of distraction, Elpa next to him almost exploded.

When I came back to my senses, the sharp nails of Elpa's right hand were touching my delicate neck. The instinct of the beast made her feel dangerous, and the instinctive reaction made her reflex.

At that moment, there was only one voice in Elpa's head.

(Kill her, kill her.) ）

The moment Anna looked at her, Elpa was glad she hadn't done it. Indeed, that kind of pure and unadulterated eyes made her unable to start. Although the momentum that pressed her so much that she couldn't breathe made her feel even more palpitations.

"Elpa, am my injuries serious?"

"Oh! not anymore. I've already healed you (temporarily sealed). ”

Although Elpa knew about the creature of freezing, it was the first time she had encountered that kind of trauma and body. It can only be temporarily sealed. (Flower arrangement: Just like the battlefield ambulance now, the injuries that the military doctor can't deal with can only do emergency treatment.) ）

"No wonder!"

No wonder the feeling of heaviness suddenly disappears, and it turns out to be .......

Wait! I seem to have forgotten something? What is it?

Turning his head to look around, the messy goods were stacked haphazardly. And then there's, Tifa. His eyes were fixed on a girl sleeping on a makeshift hospital bed next to her.

Yes! It's Tifa. I remember her, she ...... with me.

Together?

What are Tifa doing with me? I can feel that Tifa and I must be doing something, something important to me.

But......

"Ah!!h

The pain in which my brain was half split made me howl.

What the hell did I forget, and the more I tried to remember what I was going to, the more intense the pain became. I was sitting cross-legged on the bed, but I suddenly grabbed my head with both hands and rolled to the ground.

Elpa didn't expect the result to be like this, so he could only use his body's gravity as a weight to suppress Anna. Desperately press Anna to the ground, trying not to hurt her a second time.

Aven stamped his feet and rubbed his hands together. After all, considering the difference between men and women, I didn't dare to come up to help.

Let's not talk about what state Anna is in now, Anna's "one move and seven consecutive attacks" in the ring made Evin have a nightmare for half a year.

Outside, it was snowing heavily. Dawson and a few others who volunteered to stay were waiting anxiously.

The snow was full of footprints of their back and forth.

...... Dividing line .....

(PS: The letter ta is used in the text because the protagonist is not sure what the other side of himself is.) He, she, it. Also, again, Frozen - Frozen Zombies, a rare species of zombies. ）
