After coming out of the room, Sekaria's mood could not be calmed for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of the truth about the baptism of the moon told by Gertageris, Sekaria realized that the psychological construction she had made before was so ridiculous...... From now on, the consciousness of fighting only to protect one person in her life, does she have it?

Walking slowly up the stairs, Sekaria's ears couldn't help but echo the last words that Gettageris had said to her—

-----

“...... Although I don't know why Sekaria is in such a hurry to become stronger, but after getting along for the past few days, I think maybe I can guess some, but it is precisely because of this, as your senior sister, as your friend, Sekaria, I seriously advise you not to make a decision on this matter, at least, not to make a decision unilaterally alone......"

“...... For the fact that I unilaterally turned that child into the only object of my life's protection, to be honest, I actually regret it now...... Of course, I don't regret that I swore to protect Charnove, but I regret that I didn't even ask for the child's permission to attach such a heavy matter to her shoulders without her knowledge......"

“...... Originally, I made an appointment with Charnov to visit the Capellano Society in Ruby City this time, and I actually wanted to confess this matter to her, but unfortunately something like this happened here in Moon Valley. Although the child came with you later, one thing after another always kept me from having a chance to speak, and it also wiped out my courage little by little, and I knew that the child would not mind, but it was this that made me feel more guilty. It's no joke to carry a person's life, and I don't know what kind of impact it will have on that child......

“...... If, I mean, Sekaria, you want to be strong for someone you hold dear, you want to be the force that supports that person, then the baptism of the moon may make it easy for you to achieve your goal, but it may also become a shackle that neither you nor the person you hold dear can escape. You are not like me at the beginning, you have the opportunity and power to choose, I want you to think clearly, at least, when you make a decision, don't hide it from the person you want to protect. Unilateral swearing to protect each other is not necessarily a good thing, and sometimes the desire to protect each other is indestructible even if there is no magical contract......"

-----

“...... I want to protect each other...... ......"

Sekaria, who walked down the stairs, stood at the top of the stairs and muttered to herself, no obvious expression in her beautiful face, a completely dazed look.

“...... Cheruth, what can I do to be a force for you to rely on......"

A person stood silently at the top of the stairs for I don't know how long, maybe it was a window in the corridor on the first floor that was not closed tightly, an inexplicable cold wind blew and made the stunned blue-haired princess shiver, raised her hand and touched her arm, the corners of Sekaria's mouth grinned.

It's really not like you, Your Highness the Princess.

Shaking her head, Sekaria walked towards the living room on the first floor, but before she could enter the living room, she suddenly heard a voice from the living room that seemed to be arguing.

“...... No, you can't leave. ”

"Your name is Eve, aren't you? Night Elf, please get out of the way, I have to go!"

"No, at least, we have to bring everyone over and talk about it. ”

Sekaria walked a few quick steps to the living room, and at a glance saw Eve and Grey Wind facing each other solemnly at the door of the living room.

"Gray Wind, Eve-senpai, what's wrong?"

Greywind and Eve turned their heads, relieved to see that it was Sekaria.

"Sekaria, Chelus, seems to have gone wrong. ”

"Sekaria, my summoning contract suddenly can't contact Xiaobai!"

The time was adjusted a little further, just before Sekaria had made up her mind to go to Gettageris to find out about the baptism of the moon.

In the Night Elf village, Cheruth was in a daze on a pillow in the makeshift accommodation that the Night Elves had arranged for her and Nanoha.

“...... Cheruth?"

At the door of the house, Nanoha, who walked in with a plate of fruit that had just been delivered by the night elves, saw Cheruth like this, and spoke with some confusion.

"Huh?"

"Feeling bad?"

“...... It's just in a daze. ”

"Usually Cheruth, even if she thinks about things very seriously, the rest of her body doesn't move, but her tail and ears always move restlessly, but just now she really didn't move. ”

"Hey...... Don't talk like I'm ADHD......"

Cheruth complained with her eyes half-open, Nanoha chuckled, placed the fruit on the head of the bed on Cheruth's side, then sat down on the chair next to the bed, picked up a mandarin orange and began to peel it.

"Don't have a clue yet?"

"It should be said that it has never been. ”

With that, Cheruth sighed.

"This incident is really the worst I feel...... It feels like I'm being led by the nose all the time. ”

"Well, after all, this time is different from the previous ones, Cheruth you just joined in halfway, and you don't know enough about the causes and consequences, so it's not a strange thing to feel passive. ”

Receiving the peeled mandarin oranges from Nanoha, Cherus did not eat them immediately, but puffed up her face at Nanoha.

"At this time, no matter how I think about it, it should be the rhythm of Nanoha saying something to comfort me, isn't it, I don't feel comforted at all. ”

"Huhu, that's what I said...... But I'm the one who's been with you the longest time other than Sister Grey Wind, and I know exactly what Chelus looks like when she really needs comfort. ”

Cheruth's puffed face faded, and she seemed to be a little shy and turned away and began to eat the mandarins that Nanoha had peeled.

Nanoha looked at Cheruth's appearance, smiled and moved her chair closer, then raised her hand and began to touch the top of Cheruth's hair.

"However, sometimes we Cheruth don't need comfort, but we still have the need to be coquettish, right?"

"Then, who will have that kind of need or something!"

"Good ~ Good ~ "

The chestnut-haired girl ignored Cheruth's protests and continued to smile and stroke the top of Cheruth's hair. Unlike the gray wind that has become a legal Lori because of the rules of incarnation and the growth and growth of all aspects of ♀ Cheruth because of some force majeure, which can only be measured in millimeters per year, Nanoha is completely in line with the laws of a normal young girl in terms of physical growth, and now she is 18 years old, and she is completely a well-developed beautiful girl full of youthful charm from the outside, compared to three years ago, Nanoha and Cheruth are now staying together almost completely in line with the role of Cheruth's second sister.

Under Nanoha's increasingly exquisite hair tampling skills, the tsundere fried Cheruth was quickly straightened out, and continued to send mandarins to her mouth while speaking.

"We haven't been able to take the lead, we can only be on the defensive, which is really disadvantageous, especially unlike three years ago, although it is now clear that the opponent should be the culprit who once degraded the Nolans, Tafel, or his fellows, but the problem is that we still don't have any direct counterattack. ”

"Didn't you already tell the Night Elves about the Hand of the Reaper?"

"But the problem is that with the strength of the hand of death, if he has been playing yin like he is now, except for the Grand Elder of Sumario who is now held back by the seal, no one else in the night elf clan will be able to deal with him at all, and what happened during the day today ...... The other party is obviously not only the Hand of Death, an enemy who can kill a seventh-order beginner wind powerhouse of the Night Elf Clan in such a short period of time, the strength is either quite high, or he is a super assassin who is very proficient in combat, especially the means of killing with one hit, no matter which side it is, it is quite difficult to deal with. ”

As she said this, Cheruth's pretty eyebrows furrowed.

"Although Grand Elder Sumario said before that thousands of years ago, when the Night Elf Ancestor sealed the Ice Demon Dragon in the valley, they left his back hand, even if the Ice Demon Dragon finally broke the seal, they still had a way to temporarily trap it and wait for support from the Dragon Clan and the White Elves, but the problem is that even if that hole card is really capable of dealing with the Ice Demon Dragon, if the Hand of the Grim Reaper used some method obtained from the Transmorph Tafel to control the Ice Demon Dragon that has turned into a semi-chaotic creature just like the fallen creatures in the forest these days, such a combination cannot be regarded as a simple one-plus-one...... The best thing to do is to protect the last three altars as much as possible. ”

"Well, Sister Grey Wind also said before, Mr. Selman personally contacted her for confirmation after receiving a request for help from the Night Elves, and then promised that the support of the Dragon Clan would arrive within five days under his leadership, and now that three days have passed, as long as there are two more days, with the addition of the Dragon Clan's masters, the situation should be much better. ”

"That wife, slave, and uncle ...... Okay, to be fair, the support of the dragon clan is indeed reliable regardless of time, but seriously, since it has been decided to be the guardian of order on the mainland, I wonder why the dragon clan and the night elf clan or this group of guys want to move their hometown to a place like an overseas island or the northwest snow field, and they can't even provide timely support if there is anything, no wonder their popularity is not as high as that of the white elves for thousands of years, and the white elves who settle in the center of the continent are not still detached from the world and take care of the guardian career at the same time。 ”

Listening to Cheruth's energetic complaints, Nanoha still has that gentle smile on the surface, but in her heart she has finally put her mind at ease, Cheruth is still the wolf girl full of courage who can laugh without discouragement no matter what predicament she faces.

Just as the conversation between the two slowly diverted from the events in Moon Valley, suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the house where the two were temporarily staying.

"Miss Cheruth, Miss Nanoha, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting so late, have you two rested?"

Familiar voices, Cheruth and Nanoha looked at each other, and quickly came to the identity of the owner of the voice outside the door.

The seventh-order human sealing mage who had been helping the Night Elves complete the seal in the Moon Valley lately, what was he doing with them so late? In an instant, the warnings from Gettarjelis when they first came to the valley that the Lyari were "lecherous hypocrites who did not have the qualities of a strong man at all" came to the minds of the two Cheruth.

But to be honest, in the past few days, since Cheruth and the others came to the valley, they haven't had much contact with Laiali, except for the previous time when the monster attacked the village, Cheruth and Gray Wind almost fought with his somewhat inexplicable bodyguard Wood outside the village, and the rest of the meetings were almost just nodding and saying hello after meeting on the road, and Laiali has always been very kind to Cheruth and them, and there has been no bit of a well-dressed beastly behavior like Gettageris said.

Well, but Getageris and Eve are not people who will deliberately slander and slander others, so I'm afraid, it's better for Layali to disguise...... Or maybe it was because he had heard something from the elders of the Night Elves who were close to him that hinted at the identities of Cheruth and Grey Wind, which is why he was so low-key in the face of them.

"Is that Mr. Lealy?"

In the end, Cheruth and Nanoha decided to open the door to see what this guy wanted to do, anyway, with the strength of the two of them combined, even if they fought head-on, they would not be a seventh-order mage. Nanoha got up to meet the door, and Cheruth sat up from the bed and went down to the floor, quickly patting the folds of her clothes to make herself look less sloppy and sloppy than to look ashamed.

"Ah, Miss Nanoha, good evening, I'm really sorry to come and disturb you two so late. I've just returned from the destroyed Seal Node Altar that I'm repairing, and I'm a little worried when I hear that the two of you have been stained with some bad suspicions because of the day's events. But please rest assured, Elder Palo Al told me that the Night Elves are not suspicious of the two, but this is an extraordinary time, especially Mr. Lannard's sacrifice has stimulated many Night Elf warriors, so it is indeed not easy to deal with......"

When Layali entered the house, he did not go in, but stood at the door, and greeted Nanoha kindly, who was still wary of this man, but after a few words, he found that this guy seemed to be just like him, and it seemed that he really had just come to comfort and visit the two.

Nanoha didn't know what to do, since the other party had good intentions, it didn't seem good to forcibly drive away, she turned her head and turned her inquiring gaze to Cheruth.

However, she saw Chelus standing in the room with a frown, looking at Layley with a strange look of wariness in her eyes. Nanoha, who had a tacit understanding with Cheruth, could tell at a glance that it was not a wariness of a man who was likely to behave indecently, but a wariness of an enemy to fight.

Lealy ...... Wrong!
