"Di, di, di", the prompt light on the outer layer of the treatment instrument flashes every thirty seconds, and at the same time it also emits a monotonous prompt sound, which is not very big, but it makes people hear it very clearly in a quiet room, giving everyone a very irritable feeling. The three girls are surrounded by a closed treatment device, which is tightly covered so that they can't see the inside at all, giving the girls the illusion of standing in front of a coffin. At this moment, Catherine especially missed the healing instrument she had seen inside the half-plane research center before, although there was not much difference between the two, but that one was at least a transparent box cover, through which she could see Vivien's state inside, and she didn't have to fidget like she was now, always worrying that Vivien inside would be in danger.

"Click, click", Catherine anxiously circled around the treatment device, the sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of ticks made the atmosphere in the room even more chaotic. After going around dozens of times, Catherine suddenly raised her head and said regretfully: "It's a pity, it would be nice if I could borrow the life wreath of the elves, well, I know it's impossible, but I always feel a little regretful." ”

"Eldest sister, I think you're going crazy. Freya sighed and raised her chin to the side: "The one over there is already crazy, if you don't control it, it is estimated that when Vivien comes out in eleven days, she will see a group of crazy people." ”

Catherine followed Freya's prompts, and found that Lina had run to the corner of the room at some point, prostrate respectfully on the ground, and put in front of her the holy relics of the goddess of the earth, that is, the Dharma Book that she had carried with her all the year round, and replaced the idol of Denya with the Dharma Book, and was praying solemnly, and the glimmer of holiness shimmered through her body and floated into the air of the room, showing that she had devoted all her heart and soul to prayer and entered the most pious state.

She said she was going to pray for Vivien. Freya explained to Catherine, who was a little confused, "It's not the point, it's that she wants to pray until Vivien comes out safely." I think if she does, she'll wait until Vivien comes out. You can send her in for treatment. Well, not yet, it's for the goblin's size, and she can't fit it in there. ”

Catherine felt a crying and laughing feeling. She understood Lina's mood very well, she herself actually had a similar idea just now, but after Freya's teasing, calm down and think about it, her and Lina's reaction was a little ridiculous. The knight shook her head self-deprecatingly. Quickly adjusted his mentality, walked over and patted Lina on the shoulder to wake her up from her heartfelt prayer and said, "I think we are overreacting, calm down, no matter how much we worry, we can't change anything." Now let's go out, don't have to wait in this room all the time, Eva will notify us if there is a situation, Eva, no problem. ”

"Of course, it's my job. A hedron plate on the side of the room suddenly lit up, and Eva's head appeared on the hedron plate. Still with a blank expression: "You can move around this laboratory as you like, I have set you up with temporary supreme clearance, and you will not be hindered anywhere." I will separate a thread here to monitor the progress of the treatment at any time, and if I find any problems, I will notify you as soon as possible, so you don't need to worry at all. In addition, as long as you have not left the base, when you encounter any problems, call me and I will respond, and I will help you deal with it at any time. ”

"Thank you. Eva. Catherine said, "I think now we need to find a warmer rest room, and even better if we had a bed, since we left the frozen town." I haven't had a good rest once, especially mentally, it is estimated that it has reached a critical state, and if I don't take a good rest again, I'm afraid it won't last long. ”

"Phew, you're finally back to normal. Freya sighed. The hanging new finally put down: "You have problems with your state in the past few days, we are obviously adventurers who are used to seeing life and death, the more you get to this time, the more calm you should be, but because of the involvement of Vivian, you almost lost your original judgment, fortunately you didn't encounter any problems, otherwise you are likely to make a wrong decision, and it will be too late to regret it when the time comes, I don't want your sister to come to that point before you react." ”

"Yes, I know what you mean. Catherine nodded: "Our mental state just now is really wrong, so we need to leave to calm down." Don't look back, I'm just talking about you, Lina, it's useless for you to look back, Vivien is in the healing device, and she won't run away, you're in a worse state problem than me, and you have to leave the room temporarily. Don't be wronged, it's useless to be wronged, you are not allowed to leave my sight, now hurry up and follow me. ”

Catherine forcibly pulled Lina, and the three girls left the room where the healer was located, and as soon as they went out, they saw Pannis leaning against the wall of the corridor, boredly taking off several portraits fixed to the wall, and studying the life stories of these characters. Hearing the footsteps, Pannis asked without raising his head, "Finally calmed down?"

"Yes. Catherine smiled and said softly, "I'm sorry, Pannis, I actually resented you in my heart when I knew that you were hiding the risks of Vivien's treatment, but when I calmed down, I realized that you were thinking about me in order to prevent me from making wrong judgments in an uncalm state." So I feel compelled to apologize to you, and while you may not be aware of the resentment I felt at the time, I can't deceive myself. ”

"I understand that everyone has moments when their emotions are out of control. Pannis said calmly: "You didn't do something irreparable because of this, and no one will blame you for it, so there is nothing to apologize for." ”

"No, it's ...... Forget it, let's not talk about this topic. Catherine stopped talking, and took the initiative to change the topic: "Now I think we should find a place to rest first, Eva will show us the way, and this place is also taken care of by Eva, so we don't need to guard it." Come together, don't forget that you promised Vivien, and you promised me, that you wouldn't leave secretly, and you wouldn't want to regret it. ”

Pannis was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, and said helplessly: "These things always seem to be hidden from you." ”

"You haven't hidden any of them, otherwise why do you think Vivien said those words to you before she entered the healing device just now?" Catherine said with some dissatisfaction, "It's because everyone feels that you may want to leave, so they try their best to keep you." I'll say some things directly, just like I said before, after this year of getting along, we should be used to each other, why do you have to leave, or do you think that the bond between us is not enough to make you feel reluctant?"

"You're all smart girls. Pannis smiled bitterly: "Actually, I don't want to leave, but you should have already guessed the reason." ”

"Only you care about those things. Catherine said loudly: "Ever since you showed that you are only the identity of Pannis, and thus completely erased the distance between us and you in our hearts, we no longer care who you are, let alone what happened to you in the past. Whether you are a hero or a sinner, identity or status, it doesn't matter to us at all, we only see you as Pannis, the pervert who squats on the fence of the mansion every day and teases the girls who pass by, and only sees you as the teammate Pannis, who will be anxious, happy, and angry for our business. So your reason is not valid at all, can it be said that you are actually proud of your identity, unwilling to continue to be teammates with us ordinary and weak girls, and want to get rid of us?"

"In fact, I have mastered this kind of negotiation skills. Pannis tossed the portraits aside, and the cleaning golems would restore them to their positions later, without worrying about damage. Dropping the portrait, Pannis clasped his hands on his chest, leaned against the wall and said with a smile: "It's a very standard way of negotiation, it seems that your basic knowledge of aristocratic interpersonal studies is very solid." ”

"Of course, I've said it several times, although it's declining now, but in the past, my family was also from a big aristocracy, and this knowledge is still inherited. The expression on Catherine's face suddenly changed to a very standard aristocratic smile, and she made an impeccable curtsy, and then continued: "As for whether the negotiation method is standard, in fact, you don't need to care, no matter how you negotiate, as long as it is effective, it is the best way, do you think I am right?"

"Of course it's right, the most effective way is the best way, not only in negotiations, but in many things. Pannis's face didn't show joy or anger, and he nodded calmly: "However, are you sure that the method you chose really works?"

"What do you say?" Catherine was not at all nervous about Pannis's seemingly negative question, and asked with confidence, "I think my method is very effective and can completely dispel your concerns, don't you think so?"

"Can I say I don't think so?" Pannis, looking down on the ground, asked softly.

"Of course not. Catherine smiled at the corners of her mouth, shook her head and said, "You can choose the answer, but unfortunately, there is only one option, as for giving up the choice, do you think we will let you go?" ”

"You've said that, what else can I say?" Pannis turned his gaze to the ceiling again, with a slight dazed gaze, but finally sighed and held out his hand to Catherine: "Demigod Demon Swordsman Pennis, it's a pleasure to continue to fight side by side with everyone. ”

"Nelly's Adventures, Catherine. Catherine shook Pannis's big hand and said solemnly, "Welcome to this family." (To be continued.) )

PS: Happy! Scared, hahahaha, at least I'm happy!
