Chapter 31: The Soothing of the Morning
"We talked about some interesting topics."
Naturally, An Ling took out a hot bread from the basket in Shena's hand and stuffed it half in one gulp.
"Don't you eat breakfast?"
An Ling, whose cheeks bulged, turned his head to look at the two girls behind him.
Talia sighed, and happily took a loaf of bread out of Sheena's basket.
"Eat, I've been hungry for a long time."
Then she nibbled on the bread without any hint of food.
"Amy, what about you?"
Sheena looked at Amy gently and handed a long, soft white loaf of bread from the basket.
Amy politely thanked Sheena and took the bread from Sheena's hand.
Although she is also a warrior, she eats much more elegantly than the other two, breaking a small piece of bread.
Sheena smiled and pulled a kettle out of the basket.
"Eat slowly, there's still water here."
"Amy, Taria, so you're here!"
At this moment, another elegant girl with blue hair appeared from the corner of the courtyard. His face was a little solemn and anxious.
When Talia saw the blue-haired girl, she quickly swallowed the bread in her mouth and went up and asked:
"What's wrong? Maggie? ”
Amy also set her sights on Maggie.
Maggie glanced at An Ling and Sheena a with some hesitation, and then turned to Talia and said:
"Olifi, she's awake again, and she has something to say to all of us, so go see her."
"Have something to say to all of us?"
"Is she okay now?"
Maggie frowned, and didn't answer, just urged:
"We'll know when we go back, let's go."
Amy and Talia glanced at each other, and after making eye contact, they took the initiative to politely step forward and said to Anling and Sheena:
"Two, let's go first."
"Okay, I hope that girl is okay."
Sheena responded.
"Thank you."
The three Iris Adventure Group girls nodded and left in a hurry.
……
After seeing the three of them leave, An Ling took out a large loaf of bread from the basket and asked Xina while nibbling on it:
"Is that green-haired girl alright?"
"It's all right in terms of physical state and soul state alone."
Hina poured herself a glass of water and said softly:
"When I went to deliver breakfast to their Iris Adventure Group this morning, I checked her out. All her wounds healed, but it seemed that the incident had left a serious scar on her psyche. ”
"She seemed trapped in that horrible memory and couldn't escape."
An Ling thought about it, put his thoughts into it, and found that such an experience was indeed terrifying and desperate.
You break off for your teammates, and then your teammates run away. You're left alone in an obscure deserted village, alone to face a myriad of terrifying corpse monsters.
Although you are a support mage yourself, you can open the barrier to keep yourself safe for a while. But at that time, you were alone, with nowhere to escape, and with no hope. You can only wait for the point of not knowing if there is any point, and the teammates who are waiting to escape will turn around and find a way to save you.
You had a hard time getting through the day in such a tormented atmosphere, but when you were at your weakest, it was not your longing teammate who finally embraced you, but a dark and terrifying abyssal demon.
It's inevitable that a teenage girl will experience trauma afterwards, right?
"Anling, what are you laughing at?"
Sheena asked, confused.
An Ling came back to his senses, retracted the smile on the corner of his mouth, and said:
"Nothing, just something that suddenly came to mind."
"Well, I don't think this matter is a big problem, and they can solve it internally with the Iris Adventure Group."
Sheena nodded and said:
"I think so too, although I am a sacrificer, but there is very little I can do to help in this regard. They need to solve it themselves. ”
"Hmm."
An Ling responded, and then seriously nibbled on the bread in his hand.
For him, every time he eats human food is a pleasure, and sometimes this enjoyment needs to be taken slowly to be comfortable.
Hina held the water glass, walked lightly to the well and sat down, quietly watching the good-looking and clean teenager in front of her enjoy breakfast without any disturbance.
The courtyard was silent, except for the sound of the breeze blowing through the weeds and the slow chirping of insects in the morning.
After a while, Sheena watched An Ling swallow the last piece of bread and asked softly:
"Anling, do you like that Miss Talia very much?"
"Huh?"
An Ling turned his head in confusion and asked:
"Why do you say that, Sheena?"
Sheena blinked slowly and said:
"You guys were so loud that I heard them when I came over."
"Do you like Miss Talia when you make that request from her?"
"Huh?"
An Ling only felt a little funny, shook his head and said:
"I just think it's funny, and I don't have any of the complicated emotions you say. Haha~"
Now that he has lost all his lust, it is difficult to get it back, how can he feel such a complex spiritual feeling of "love", it is really a little funny.
Of course, An Ling believed that as the time he spent traveling in the world increased, he would sooner or later complete his humanity and regain his normal and complete seven emotions and six desires.
The experience of these days has made him feel that the missing part of his humanity has become a little smaller.
The topic turned back, and after hearing An Ling's answer, Hina looked at An Ling's clear emerald green eyes for a few seconds, and then closed her eyes slightly as if she was relieved, and quipped:
"It's a very bad behavior to play tricks on a girl like this."
"Haha, shouldn't we be naughty and lively at our age?"
"But this kind of talk is easy to lead to unnecessary misunderstandings."
After saying a word softly, Hina beckoned to An Ling and motioned for An Ling to stand in front of her.
"What's wrong again?"
An Ling tilted his head and came to Sheena's side.
Hina smiled and said to An Ling:
"I promised you that I would use magic to relieve the pain of the abyssal erosion for you every day, have you forgotten?"
"Oh~ This matter, in fact, you don't have to be so serious."
An Ling twisted his nose and didn't say anything to refuse.
Sheena's light magic can strengthen his humanity for him, and this "consolidation" is much gentler than the "forcible correction" of the holy sword, one seems to be fed warm water, and the other is like forced molten iron into the stomach. So An Ling did not reject her such behavior.
Hina smiled, folded her hands in front of An Ling, and bowed her head slightly.
Under the light humming of the silver-haired girl, A Ling's body lit up with a soft holy light, and circled and circled.
An Ling calmly felt the gentle "burning pain" on his body one by one, and quietly enjoyed this "comfort" from the light
Since coming to the world, An Ling has never slept peacefully, but now, in the pain of the bright and scorching heat, An Ling has a comfortable feeling that he is sleeping lightly.
