Chapter 10: Don't Call Sister Anymore!
Tam is a monster that lives in the river, with a fat body and a terrifying mouth, and is known as the king of the river by the monsters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a solitary monster, Tam looks down on those pairs of monsters who show their affection every day, and every time he sees a monster that dares to kiss and love in his field of vision, Tam doesn't mind using his huge mouth to make them understand what fear and lover's eternal pain is.
As the king of the rivers, Tamu has his own pride.
"The world is a river, and I am its king. This phrase is Tamm's motto.
Of course, this sentence has an element of exaggeration, at the very least, the racial demonic beasts in the ocean called the tide sea spirit and the tide shark are often against Tam, oh yes, there is also a manatee who does not know the height of the sky...... However, not long ago, after contacting his forest partner, Tamm made a deal with a werewolf, and the werewolf helped Tam take out the manatee that was in the way.
Since Tamu claims to be the owner of the river, then the river is its owner, and Tamu does not allow others to use it without permission.
Tam has a human-like mind, he is insidious and cunning, the crabs in the river are Tamu's eyeliner, and he doesn't mind doing small things to sabotage humans who want to smuggle through his river, showing his fear, prestige, and presence.
Over time, realizing the danger of this river, humans did not dare to pass through this river...... I'd rather spend a few days taking a safe detour.
Until a few days -
"Luckily I found a boat, otherwise it would have been really bothered. Stepping on a fat catfish that was beaten down, the silver-haired girl smiled: "Choose, help us cross the river or want to be braised as Chinese rice." "There was a direct threat.
As mentioned earlier, Alice's path through the forest was blocked, and Alice herself didn't like Neve flying her through with magic...... It's not a pleasant trip.
After searching for a long time, the two found this hidden third road, a rushing river.
However, as Alice and Neve swam along the river's banks for a while, looking for boats or bridges, Tammu emerged from within the river...... In short, it means quite lucky!
As a predator, the last mistake you should make is to pick an enemy that you can't deal with, just like a cat will take a detour when it encounters a lion. However, should Tam, who was confused by arrogance and intellectually confused, say that it was unfortunate or accidental?
In short, the fact that he found that he couldn't beat it, Tamu confessed it very shamefully!
Now, Tam is carrying Alice and Neve down the river in the water using his boat, which he used as a trophy from a fisherman.
"Hey, don't do it, it's hard to eat when you look at it. Neve said that he had no appetite for looking at Tamu, even though he looked at the meat...... Luckily, Tamu didn't understand human language very well.
"He is worthy of the legendary king of the river, this size, this appearance ......" Of course, Neve and Alice were not the only two on the boat...... And Jones.
This freelance reporter left one step earlier than Alice and Neve, but helplessly, the reporter's own combat effectiveness was very weak, knowing that there were monsters in the river, Jones, who did not dare to risk his life, was trapped on the bank of the river, but fortunately, Jones met Alice.
"Beautiful lady, I thank you again, you are simply my goddess of luck. "Being able to see legendary monsters and take pictures is another piece of scoop. And, being able to hitchhike, Jones was in a good mood to thank Alice. "Of course, it would be nice if you could give food to you. "Jones hadn't eaten in two days.
"You guyβ" Looking at Jones and Alice's conversation, Neve was already dissatisfied...... Isn't this guy too aggressive?
"Yes. However, with Alice's approval, Neve could only suppress this dissatisfaction in the bottom of his heart...... No, or maybe it was vented on the crab who was in charge of the barbecue in his own hands?
"But there is a price. Alice added with a smile.
"Well, I still have a little money on me. Jones reluctantly took out his money bag.
"No, I don't need money. "Really, Neve is enough anyway.
β...... But I don't have anything on me that the lady is interested in, except for money and clothes. "Could it be beauty?, that kind of thing...... It's too young to be a child.
"I just wanted to see the press kit you wrote. Alice looked at the briefcase Jones was carrying...... Quite curious, interesting content.
"This won't work, please don't embarrass me!" Jones subconsciously hugged his briefcase when he heard it...... As a freelance journalist, this is all his own achievements, if it is plagiarized and stolen by others-
"If not, forget it. Curiosity was not satisfied, and Alice did not mean to be angry, and seemed to be very easy to speak. "Then, if the transaction fails, you can only jump into the river. "Okay, let's take back the impression that Alice is easy to talk.
Jones: "......"
"Huh, are you going to jump into the river?" said Neve, who was listlessly roasting the crab, and his eyes lit up. "I don't mind helping you, sir. Eager to propose.
"Well, beautiful and gracious lady, you're kidding me. Jones smiled awkwardly...... It's a good time to meet.
Although it doesn't matter if you let Jones jump into the river, as a freelance journalist who is often chased by the guards of the aristocratic lord, none of the skills to survive is fake, such as Jones's freestyle is good.
But the question is -
There are monsters in this river...... For example, do piranhas count?
"So you don't want to jump ββ?" Alice smiled but not laughed. "Do you want me to push you down?"
"Okay, okay...... Miss, you won. Jones who raised his hand in surrender...... Reluctantly, he handed over his briefcase.
However, a few minutes laterβ
"Why don't you take a second look, what an interesting truth!" Jones was a little incredulous that his draft of the story was not approved by others.
"Don't look at it, it's more boring than you think. Just a few glances, Alice's assessment is really shocking.
"How could it be ......," muttered a distraught freelance journalist.
"Hey, idiot journalist, do you want to eat. Neve threw the roasted crab in Jones' face. But the next moment, his face changed one hundred and eighty degrees. "Sister, please use this. The largest and most carefully roasted crab was handed to Alice.
"It's definitely bias...... Miss Neve, could you take a look at the evaluation?" was indifferent to the overripe crab lying on his head, and Jones was reluctant to give Neve a review of the report in his hand.
"Believe it or not, I burned this thing!" The face full of spring breeze instantly turned cold again. Neve just didn't want to see this reporter anyway.
With Tam successfully and safely sending this group to the lower reaches of the river, the heart of the king of the river trampled on the surface and waved Alice and his party away amicably.
After going ashore, Jones and Alice went their separate ways...... But apparently, Jones before the separation doesn't seem to have come out of the shadows of the blow just now. Just pinched the draft of his report and kept muttering, "What the hell can't it do?" β
"Sister, let's take a detour. Halfway down the path in the forest, Neve spotted an area where the ground was much darker than the surroundings, and remembering something, Neve hurriedly grabbed Alice.
βοΌβ
"It's a monster that reacts to creatures that come into contact with them and self-destructs. "Like a stone, but not at all...... This thing is, in otherworldly parlance, 'nature's mine'.
"Will it blow itself up?" Alice was visibly surprised.
Stepping forward, perhaps picking up a few small pieces of black mineral as they approached, or perhaps as Neve said, there was some residual warmth in the palm of his hand...... Even, faintly, Alice could feel the trembling of the 'little stone' in her hand. "What a wonderful creature. β
"This is a product unique to the Western Continent, and the energy in it can help alchemists make explosives. Neve was kind enough to explain.
But before the explanation was finished, the next scene made Neve stunned.
Alice threw the 'stone' in her hand towards the 'minefield', and the small stone bounced off the huge black area, and it bounced three times very lightly.
Neve fell silent.
Neve hurriedly stopped in front of Alice and opened the magical barrier.
The next moment-
There were a series of big explosions ahead.
"Looks like you didn't lie to me. Standing behind Neve's open barrier, Alice admired the spectacular explosion...... By the way, it is argued that such a stone can really explode.
Neve: "......"
Dangerous nature.
...
......
"Neve, I can ask you a question. Another monster that came out of the forest, and was casually knocked down by Neve's magic, and Alice, who was watching the contest, stepped on the body of the monster and asked with a smile.
"!?" Neve was puzzled as he put away his staff.
"Why are you so nice to me...... Based on these two days of getting along, I rule out the fact that you are a fool. As for the other picture-" Alice paused and smiled, "I admit that I am beautiful, but I am so beautiful that I fall in love with me as a woman, which I expected...... Of course, please don't have the idea of long-term love, if it's just for this reason, as you take care of me these days, how about I play for you once. β
"No! Neve waved his hand in a panic.
"Why is that? Please don't use the excuse 'I'm like your mother'...... I wouldn't mind if it was changed to 'I'm like your sister.' "Doesn't that mind Neve's last analogy.
"Do you have to say it? Neve bit her lip, a little embarrassed.
"It's okay if you don't say it. The smile of the silver-haired girl remained the same. "Anyway, I'll definitely leave while you're resting. β
"Please don't do that!" Neve was anxious.
"Heh, I'm kidding. "The smile is like that anyway, I can't see what I'm thinking...... But Neve knew, saying it was a joke, was actually ......
"Actually, I got you from Kagome!" Well, Neve finally decided to tell why...... Fake, of course.
Still, such a lie seems to work for Alice!
"Kagome?!" Suddenly hearing the name of her maid, Alice was stunned.
"Yes...... Yes. I'm Kagome's sister. Kagome asked me to take care of my sister temporarily. "Thanks to the fact that even though it's a different dimension, Kagome's maid position hasn't changed. Neve came up with a reason.
"Answer me, what color is Kagome's hair?" Alice suddenly asked.
"Black. He replied without hesitation.
"How much is the measurements. Alice continued to ask.
β...... E!" After thinking about it, Neve replied with some uncertainty.
"How old. β
β748οΌβ
β...... It turned out that she was so old. Listening to Neve's answer, Alice was thoughtful...... When asked this question before, the maid was always vague.
Neve: "......"
Don't ask Neve how he knows, Neve doesn't know if he peeks into Miss Maid's diary or something.
"But how did I never hear that Kagome had a sister. β
"Sister, you didn't mention your family information to Sister Kagome. Neve replied calmly.
"If Kagome is your sister, why are your hair colors and eye colors different? β
"Sister is not familiar with the genetic makeup of demons...... "After all, it's a demon, and the species is very strange, and it's normal to have a genetic mutation or something."
β...... That's just as well. After thinking about it, Alice agreed. "So, it's Kagome's request for you to take care of me...... Kagome and the others are still in the Eastern Continent?"
"Yes. Neve secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, how did she get your message out there? β
"This is the help of the sage. "The success of the first lie is concealed, and there is a second and third time to go with the flow.
"How did she convey it, using words like 'My master is a wretched, I can't live without help to take care of it, but please don't tell the truth, because it will hurt the master's pride'?" "It looks like I'm going to punish her a little bit when I get back. β
"Ahaha~~" How to say it, Neve silently mourned for the maid lady of this world for three minutes.
"But after listening to your explanation, you are much more pleasing to the eye now...... In addition to talking a lot, it's a good servant. Alice recalls what Neve has done recently, commenting.
"......" is a compliment.
"So, Neve, can I ask you something?" said Alice, smiling back.
"Huh?" was stunned, and Neve reacted.
"Please change your name for my 'sister'. "That's Alice's first request. "Since you're Kagome's sister, then you're hundreds of years old, and being called my sister by you makes me look old. "Sounds upset to Alice.
Neve: "......"
