"Yo, the little ghost still remembers me. Isu teased as if looking at the two-ponytailed girl who was only half a head shorter than herself.

Dietrice was unexpectedly a little overwhelmed, her little face was so cute that she squeezed out a sentence for a long time, "Yi, Isu, Izu, I've always remembered you." ”

"Really?" Izu, pretending to be shocked, watched as Dietrice's expression became panicked.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you. Let's take care of the three of them first. Isu gestured to the three warriors who were fainting by the stream.

"Well... Okay..."In front of Ysu, Dietrice completely lost the demeanor of the superior in front of these three warriors.

The two briefly treated the three unconscious fighters to ensure that they were completely out of danger.

"Before, where are you going to go after that?" asked Dietrice.

"Well, actually, I haven't thought about it yet, it's because I heard that you were on a mission here that I came to see you, a little ghost. "Isu is always a person who thinks about it, and after knowing that Dietrice is on a mission here, she decided to come here, but she didn't think about the arrangements after meeting the other party, just as she didn't like the instructor's style at the beginning, so she didn't think about the problem of being punished by the organization because of this.

"......," Dietrice glanced at Ysu a few times as she dodged her gaze.

"Then it's better to go a little further south, and I have two companions who should be looking for their hometown in that direction. Isu held his chin, thought for a moment, and then said his plan for the future.

"To the south?!" Dietrice's face turned a little ugly, "I advise the seniors to better not continue to face south, this continent is no longer the same as it was seven years ago." ”

"Well, I'm going to go. Izu's hands were on his waist, and he said solemnly, "Since what you say is so dangerous, I can't leave those two companions alone." ”

"If it were you, I think you'd go without hesitation. Isu patted Dietlis's head, "You can take these three warriors back to the organization, I can do it alone." ”

"That senpai......" Dietrice seemed to have made a decision with a great deal of determination, "let me go with you." ”

"And what about the three of them?" Izuy hadn't expected Dietrice to reply.

"Their injuries have been treated by us, and they will wake up within an hour, and I can also sense that there are no demonic energy fluctuations around them, so they are safe. Dietrice glanced at Ysu a little nervously, "I've told them before that I'll save their lives even if I die, so even if they wake up and find out I'm not there and the Awakened are dead, they should relay the news of the mission to the Order." ”

"Alright then, you wait for them to wake up and explain what to do, and I'll wait for you in the grove over there. Izuku saw that she was so serious, but she didn't think much about it and agreed.

About an hour had passed, and Issely was lying on a branch with a stick of grass in her mouth, a position where she could see Dietrice through the layers of leaves.

Dietrice took care of her three injured companions very seriously, and the serious look made Isu look a little dumbfounded. Just as Dietrice had estimated, the three warriors woke up one after another.

From this position, Ys could faintly hear what Dietrice was telling the three warriors, one of whom seemed to be unable to understand Dietrice's approach and was arguing with her, while the other two were desperately trying to prevent the situation from escalating. Eventually, Dietrice said something, and the warrior stomped his feet in frustration and followed the other two companions. Dietrice, on the other hand, hurried anxiously towards the woods.

"Is following me to the South a secret mission of their incompetence?" said Azu, who looked down as she walked through the woods in search of herself, and Dietrice jumped off the branch and landed right behind Dietrice.

"This ......," Dietrice looked at Ysu, who was half a head taller than herself, and panicked for a moment, "I can't help it...... I didn't expect her to be so difficult. She was the warrior she had just quarreled with, a short-haired girl.

"Then let's go. Izuy shrugged, took Dietrice's hand and ran south. Unbeknownst to everyone, this scene was seen by the previous warrior, but she just stared at them fiercely for a few seconds as if she was going to eat Izu, and then left.

"What has changed in the past seven years?" Isu asked as he walked at high speed.

Dietrice's face darkened visibly, "To the south of here, there is a creature called the Demon...... A third creature different from humans and demons!" the voice trembled, revealing a hint of fear.

“......？”

"Seven years ago, the organization started working on a new experiment because it had completed a study. Dietrice said, and Isu understood that the completed research should be what was then called the "Twin Projects", "using the corpses of the eleven awakened people in the organization for the next study......

"It's about using the flesh of the Awoken instead of demons...... A new warrior created!"

"What!" Rao is Isu has seen a lot of wind and waves, and is shocked by the new experiment of organizing this, "That's still ...... Warriors?"

"Indeed, that thing can no longer be called a warrior. Dietrice's voice was also very low, "The organization is no longer only cultivating people who are close to monsters, but also beginning to create monsters in human form. ”

"In fact, they don't even have a human heart, they just have a strong desire for flesh and blood, so the organization uses the results of research completed seven years ago. ”

"Organizations uproot their egos and feed them with a kind of fodder that they recognize as the only object of desire. Unable to see or speak, but to pursue the pure life of the only thing that is recognized..."

"They have been modified so that they do not emit demonic energy, and they are relatively unable to sense demonic energy. They just wander the lands of the south all day long, chasing the smell of bait in their memories. ”

"The [feed] that the organization you said made them remember... Could it be—" Izuy frowned, and she thought of a very frightened possibility.

"Yes," Dietrice seemed to know what Ys was trying to say, "it's the pieces of meat from the abyss that the organization collected, and the ones that wander in this southern land are the [demons] who use the pieces of Isli's meat as [feed]!"

"Do you mean Isli?" Isu naturally remembered his defeat to the Northern Abyss back then, and naturally understood the strength of Isli.

"Well, we'd better catch up with your companions as soon as possible, or they'll be in danger of their lives......"
