Episode 9.5 Fire and Night
At the end of the song, Luca had already fallen asleep, and Cole carefully helped Luca cover the quilt and followed Franka to the door of the room, "Thank you for your help-"
"What am I talking about? That's what I'm supposed to do. Franka patted Cole's head and said, "Take care of him." The more you care about him, the faster he'll recover. ”
"What are you talking about-" Cole blushed and shook his ears in embarrassment, "nothing—thank you for your hard work, please go and rest." ”
Franka chuckled and slammed the door lightly.
"Finally—" Cole sat on the edge of the bed tiredly, helping Luca wipe the sweat from his forehead, "I didn't think you had today, weren't you crazy when you robbed me in the first place, I really thought you were invincible in the world." ”
"How could the legendary thief be so stupid—just a big fool! What do you care about me, look at you, I'm hurt. ”
"Actually, it's just a little kid, a petty thief, a stupid kid with a mouth full of stinky! Although- hmph, you look pretty handsome with me in the back. But it's not good. Hey, you're getting better soon, and let me see how crazy you can get, you know? ”
"It's really exciting to be with you, and if you accidentally lose your life." Cole climbed into bed, lay down next to Luca, curled up, and pulled out Luca's hand and held it in his arms, "I hate it when people move my tail, and I will kill anyone who dares to move my tail." But your words—" Cole yawned and rubbed the back of Luca's hand with his face, "yes, it's comfortable. ”
In his sleep, Cole seems to have seen his parents, but it is also strange that he does not remember what his parents are like since he was a child, and since he can remember, he has been engaged in various things as a laborer in the Yumo Gang, and when he was still young, he only did some very simple work, and when he grew up, he began to trade with the free people. He also wondered all the time what his parents should be like, but he might never see them again.
The noise woke Cole up, it was still dark outside the window, but the light of the fire not far away was already a sign that something was happening.
"Don't sleep!" Franka kicked open the door, and at this moment she was no longer wearing a long skirt, but a simple combat uniform, and the bow and arrow in her hand were always tense, "Hurry up, work hard if you can't get up!" ”
"What's going on?" Cole hasn't completely escaped from the dream yet, "Is it the soldiers who are coming to search?" ”
"It's good!" Suddenly Franka raised her bow and shot an arrow at the white creature outside the window, her misshapen body and face let out a piercing scream, and she struggled on the ground for a moment before moving.
"Hurry up!" Franka beckoned to Cole, "The soldiers don't have time to protect us here, they're all in the middle of a fight. ”
Another white creature came from the direction of the hall, and Franka could only wrestle with the monster, "You go through the back door, there are two more Sineaters at the front door!" ”
Cole's brain buzzed with a bang, "Sin Eater—Sin Eater—"
"Something's wrong—it's really happened—" Cole shook Luca in a panic, but Luca just closed her eyes tightly and shifted her body with difficulty.
Franka had already fought the guilty eaters into the hall, blocking the enemy from the outside of the room, and Cole struggled to get Lukara up, and as soon as he got out of bed, Cole's strength was not enough to support Luca's weight, and both of them fell to the floor.
"Wake up—" Cole got up from the ground, put Luca's arm on his shoulder, and struggled towards the back door.
"Cheer up—I don't want to die yet—"
"You're going by yourself—stupid." Luca struggled to open her eyes and whispered in Cole's ear in a very small voice.
"Did you say let me go by myself, and I would listen to you? I'm shameless. Cole held on to the doorframe and gasped, but a huge black shadow blocked their path. It was an individual larger than the other sin eaters, and the intense pressure caused Cole to sit on the ground with his legs limp.
The Sin Eater waved his claws, Cole closed his eyes, and protected Luca with his body, there was a sound of metal colliding, Cole didn't feel the pain, and then he opened his eyes, and at this moment Luca held the dagger, and his raised arm crossed Cole's shoulder, colliding with the Sin Eater's claws.
"It's useless—it's not up to me." Luca held Cole's hand and barely stood up, Sin Eater took a step back, about to attack, Luca threw a dagger and stabbed Sin Eater in the eye, while Sin Eater struggled, Cole helped Luca to get under Sin Eater's feet, and looked through the back door, there were no enemies around for the time being, and the sound of fighting in the distance was still fierce.
Cole really didn't have the strength anymore, looked at the skyrocketing firelight, and clenched Luca's hand, "What are we going to do-"
