How does the church feel like here?" asked about the condition of the church in Loujiu, who had returned from prayer.

picked up a fragrant lamb chop, and Lu Jiu's bulging mouth also agitated, "Well, it's delicious~ The words of the church are very solemn and peaceful, and the nuns there are also very gentle..."

The nun gave me the holy fruit!" proudly took out a red fruit from his plump chest and shook it in front of everyone in a conspicuous manner.

"This is the fruit that only the most devout of prayer can get!" Complimenting Rujiu, Asuna gently touched Rujiu's fluffy head.

&Hey~" Enjoying Asuna's compliment, Lu Jiu once again picked up a piece of lamb chops and put it in her mouth.

――――Leisurely time always passes very fast――――

& A loud bang broke the harmony of Ayn Grant's direction, and a puff of black smoke rose into the sky.

Startled by the sudden loud noise, Lu Jiu huddled under the table and hugged her own head.

>> That's the energy fluctuation..."

&It's going to be wrong, it's last night's fluctuations!" Shen Crack and Toria Jǐng looked around consciously...

Frowning slightly, Elusa glanced at Asuna and said, "Asuna, please use that shrinking telescope to observe the direction of the explosion." ”

Without any extra nonsense, Asuna, who took out her binoculars, looked around at three hundred and sixty degrees, and then her gaze stayed in the direction of the north side of the city.

Turning the telescope out of front of her eyes, Asuna's expression can be said to be not very optimistic, "The explosion... It came from the church."

While Asuna, Elusa and the others were still discussing the current situation, a golden figure passed past them...

"Where are you going!!" After being stunned for two seconds, Elusa was the first to react and chased after her.

Without paying attention to the people behind him, Lu Jiu's mind was now completely focused on the church where the accident occurred

&Mother-in-law... Please be safe!" Gripping the fruit in his hand, Lu Jiu sped up...

&Daughter-in-law, Mother-in-law~" Coming to the burned and skinless church, Lu Jiu anxiously searched for the figure of the nun's mother-in-law.

Pushing open the door of the main hall, the bright red fruit fell to the ground...

Covering his mouth with his hands, bean-sized tears flowed out, and Lu Jiu knelt on the ground weakly.

&...... "What greeted the eyes of the people who rushed to see it was like hell...

The fire burned mercilessly, the floor and walls of the main hall were stained with fresh blood, the fruits of the reward for the pious were sprinkled on the ground, the people who came to pray were starved in horror and fell in pools of blood, some scarlet palm prints indicating that they had tried to struggle...

However, the most frightening thing is the hollow chests of the dead, and if you count them carefully, you will find that there are exactly forty-four dead, each of whom has had his heart gouged out.

"Mother-in-law..."Crawling up to a corpse dressed in a white sè nun's dress, Lu Jiu hugged it tightly...

&Ahhh>h

As the fire continued to burn and the church began to determine, Elusa reached under Lujiu's armpits to erect her and forced her out of the church.

After returning to the airship, Lu Jiu's whole body was as if she had lost her soul, lying on the lawn with empty eyes and looking at the sky, no matter who spoke to her, she didn't respond...

&A child is so kind, as long as the person who treats her well, even if it is just a small passer-by in life, she will keep it firmly in her heart..."Sighing, looking at Lu Jiu, who had been in a daze, Elusa said to herself.

......

The sun gradually receded below the horizon, leaving only fiery red clouds burned by the sun's radiance.

"If I could have left later, maybe this wouldn't have happened" Lu Jiu's heart twitched violently whenever she remembered the scene in the church.

& A chestnut figure sat next to Lu Jiu with a box of popcorn.

"Hear me out?"

No response

Asuna hugged Lu Jiu's head with both hands and dragged it hard in front of her eyes, "What I'm talking about is not the kind of listening that goes in the left ear and comes out of the right ear now!"

Lu Jiu's cloudy eyes seemed to clear a little, and she looked at Asuna suspiciously.

Showing a bitter smile, Asuna put her forehead on Lu Jiu's forehead, "Actually, my mood is the same as Lu Jiu, for me, who has no father and no mother, and grew up in the church, the priests and nuns in the church are like my relatives, although they are strangers who have never met in the last moment, but everyone in the church can make people's hearts full of warmth the next moment..."I opened my eyes and gently stroked Lu Jiu's hair

& God, I'm angry, so angry, I want to scrape a hundred knives on someone who does something like this... I want to cry too, but I can't..."

&What?" opened her cherry-pink mouth, and Lu Jiu's face was full of doubts...

& Someone once said to me that crying is just a manifestation of helplessness, and when you encounter difficulties and setbacks, if you just blindly cry and don't do anything, the next time you encounter the same thing, all you can do is cry."

&Do you want to do something?" The cloudiness in the purple eyes gradually unraveled, and the smart eyes blinked.

Standing up, Asuna held out her right hand to Lu Jiu, "Yes, try to carry this feeling... The farther you go, the heavier the baggage of responsibility and affection will be, and it may be easier to simply throw away such a burden, but you will not do it anyway, after all, the journey will become boring, right?"

&'s life..."

Do you want to decide to carry this sadness and sorrow on your back?"

&I understand, I'm going to carry this feeling, so that I can make a difference the next time I encounter something like this, and to make my life's journey more colorful!" Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Lu Jiu grabbed Asuna's outstretched right hand tightly.

>> Let's go to dinner, and apologize to everyone by the way, I'm worried about you after all!"

&

On the dinner table

& I'm really sorry that the incident at noon has worried everyone!" Now at the table, Lu Jiu bowed ninety degrees to everyone.

&What fools, we're buddies in the same bed!" Putting her hand on Lu Jiu's shoulder, Elusa smiled brightly.

"Elusa is right, isn't it normal for companions to care for each other?" Echoing with a warm smile, Divine Crack stood on the other side of Rujiu.

Tolia pushed Lu Jiu to her seat from behind, "So, the head of the regiment, don't say these strange things anymore, the food won't taste good when it's cold!"

& Home..."

In a happy atmosphere, Lu Jiu ended the day happily.

Looking at Lu Jiu, who was about to leave the airship with a plate of leftover food, Elusa stood in front of Lu Jiu, "Where are you going with the food?"

&Meow-chan's promise!" replied confidently.

&

> Meow-chan has an appointment, I'm going to bring food to it in the evening!"

>> Really, no matter what you are in trouble with, you will help..."Covering her forehead helplessly, Elusa let out a long sigh, "Go early and come back early, it's not peaceful outside now." If the kitten is willing, it can be brought back."

&

& Am you so surprised? I didn't say you weren't allowed to keep small animals!!" A red cross climbed up Elusa's head and clenched his fist to scare Rujiu away.

Looking at the back of Lu Jiu leaving, Shen Crack flicked his long tail and fell into deep thought, "Cat..."

After getting off the airboat, Lu Jiu trotted all the way to the place agreed with Lan Sè's cats at noon.

&Sauce, Meow-chan, are you there?I'm here with something delicious~!"

"Miss Fox, I'm here!" came a little blue cat with white wings running out from under the dirty cart.

Meow-chan spoke!!" With a look of surprise, Lu Jiu looked at the cat as if she had discovered a new world.

& People have names, it's called Harpy, it's not such a vulgar name as Meow Sauce!" Waving his little wings, the self-proclaimed Harpy cat flew to the height of Lu Jiu's hands, grabbed a fish from his plate and ate it.

&I've never seen a talking cat before~ Doesn't Harpy have any friends?" squatted down and looked at this unique kitten curiously.

The speed of eating slowed down a little "Love~ Harpy has been here since he was born, and he used to try to communicate with people, but he was treated as a monster"

>> Let me raise the happy, right?" Picking up this unique cat, Lu Jiu's burning eyes stared closely at Lan Sè's cat face.

& didn't reflect for a moment, and Harpy was lifted in the air by Lu Jiu.

>>

&&They're going to cause trouble for Miss Fox's house, aren't they?, a monster like me..."Harpy's eyes were delighted by the fact that he was worried about Lu Jiu's family situation.

&&No, it's so cute, how can it be a monster~" Holding Harpy in front of him, Lu Jiu rubbed his face against Harpy's fluffy cat face.

Harpy, who was extremely touched in his heart, was rejoicing because he had found his first friend, but suddenly felt a bad feeling, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

&DANGER!!" Using all the strength of his body, Harpy pushed Rujiu back a step.

& a silver knife pierced out of Harpy's back and pinned it to the trolley.

&Sure enough, such a rigorous chapter name is not suitable for me!
