It was much later, when he recalled the past, that Edward finally understood why.

Human beings are boring and boring, so in order to make their vulgar lives more enjoyable, they often depict an unattainable existence as a way to console their empty hearts.

They call this thing a dream.

Someone rated all the girls in Hoag House according to various criteria, and the higher the score, the more attractive she was and the more worthy of people to pursue.

Emilia and Flandall are lucky enough to be on the list, and they are at the top of the list. They are the dreams of other human beings, the so-called "goddesses".

Edward was never able to comprehend these human thoughts.

It is said that the person who was originally ranked first was not Flando, but Emilia. Although Flando's beauty is not inferior to Emilia's, and the tear moles at the corners of her eyes and her long blue hair with a very different style add to her exotic feeling, she is only second in the initial rankings, behind Emilia in first place.

Soon, however, Flandor surpassed Emilia and became the number one "goddess" in Hogg House.

The reason for this is Edward's fault.

It is a well-known fact that Frandot has a crush on Alsace, so it is natural that Flando's ranking is lower than that of Emilia.

But...... As time went on, people began to realize one thing. Emilia also has a crush on someone, and besides, she is even more clingy than Flando.

It was found that Emilia rarely showed up in the room, kept a low profile, and barely talked to anyone else, or even spoke. But as soon as she gets out of class, she follows her crush like a fart.

Not only that, but Emilia also made even more chilling actions.

The man seemed to hate Emilia, and when he was with her, he was always absent-minded and wanted to run away all the time. The two never had any sweet words when they met, except that quarreling was bickering, and every time she couldn't quarrel with that person, she couldn't be wronged, and she almost cried out in anger a few times, but even so, she persevered in pestering that person, more than ten times more active than Flandor to Alsace, so she almost grabbed that person and forced him to marry herself.

As for the identity of that person...... Edward didn't admit it was him.

As a result, Emilia fell from the first position to the second. Still, she has a large number of faithful followers.

Like John, like Alsace.

"Stinky boy, you—how dare you hit someone?!" John scolded by pointing at Edward's nose.

"Are you blind, it's not me. Edward cried out again and again.

"You're too arrogant! He didn't recruit you or provoke you, he just wanted to say hello to you, but he didn't expect to be poisoned by this, you, you are really ......" Although John was not familiar with George, he still pretended to mourn for him.

"So you're blind? I didn't beat you, I did it by this idiot behind me!" Edward replied helplessly.

"No, it can't be, how could our goddess do such a reckless thing?" said John, stumbling.

As soon as these words came out, his friends nodded in agreement, and even Arthas showed a look of deep approval.

"I ......"

"Edward, stop acting. Arthas looked at Edward coldly, "Hurry up and let go of your hand, otherwise, we will be welcome!"

"Huh?" Edward was stunned.

He followed Arthas's gaze and saw his left hand. Her hand was being held tightly by Emilia. The cold sweat from Emilia's palms moistened his palms, but Emilia didn't notice it at all, and she didn't mean to relax at all.

He didn't think anything was strange, but Emilia woke up like a dream.

"Ahh

“...... What does it have to do with me? You've been holding on to me. ”

"I don't care, you, you ......" Amilia's face was flushed, she wanted to refute, but she couldn't find an explanation, she wanted to excuse herself, and she was afraid that the more she described, she could only deny it dryly, "No, no!"

"What's wrong......"

"It's not right anyway!"

The sudden appearance of Arthas overwhelmed her, so Emilia subconsciously grabbed Edward's hand, as it seemed to ease the panic in her heart.

But what that guy would make her feel at ease, she couldn't accept!

She has been with Edward more than once, facing unknown adventures together. When she was trapped in the enchantment and couldn't move, it was the silver-haired boy who carried her to escape from the trap of death, when she rushed out to attack and fell into the encirclement, it was the guy with panda eyes who helped her move the rescuers, and at that time, she was sick and wounded, and it was the pervert who smiled all day long who saved her life with the tears of the goddess.

Perhaps, inadvertently, she has developed some kind of dependence on that person. The demon king was dragged into the water by the brave, and the brave man didn't give him his sincerity?

Trust is mutual, Edward believes in her unreservedly from beginning to end, how can she really become the iceberg goddess with a cold face and frost?

"That's not right...... It shouldn't be like this......" Emilia muttered quietly.

"Hey, what's going on today, why is everyone saying things I don't understand?"

"It shouldn't be like this, no, why? Why do I ......?"

"What?"

"I ......," Emilia said before she stopped in the middle of her sentence. Her mouth was slightly open, her lips rising and falling, and the coquettish gasp of "ahhh

[Why do I rely on you?]

She couldn't say that. Because once she asked, the question already had an answer.

"No!" Exclaimed Amilia.

"What are you talking about, are you crazy?"

“......”

Emilia didn't say anything, Edward didn't know what to do, and John and his friends couldn't figure out the situation at this time.

Their goddess is now very angry. So, in order not to reduce their favorability in the eyes of the goddess, they decisively chose to be silent and obediently stood next to Arthas to watch the play.

The scene fell silent for a while, and everyone's eyes were focused on Emilia, which made her already embarrassed even more uncomfortable.

Now, any word from anyone can become the fuse that ignites the barrel of explosives!

"Hmm, it hurts, it hurts...... It hurts. A discordant voice suddenly rang out.

George rubbed his blue eyes and staggered to his feet. While Edward and the others were chatting, George, who had been knocked unconscious, finally woke up.

"You, you...... What are you doing?" George stood up in a daze, "Ah, come to my senses, I was knocked unconscious! Amilia, why are you hitting me again? I'm here to save you!"

"......" Emilia was speechless.

"Prince Alsace, John...... Is it you? Why do you always have trouble with Edward? Hmph, I won't allow you to bully my friends!" George finally found a chance to show his demeanor, and he stood proudly in front of Edward, blocking John's view.

"Hey, when did I say I was your friend?" Edward asked.

"Edward, I know you're saying this so I don't bother me. You don't have to worry about me, my friend is in trouble, I won't back down!"

"Another guy full of nonsense, is today the festival of human nonsense......"

"That...... Edward, you're human too. George complained silently.

"Tsk. ”

"I'm ......" George wanted to continue to play pretentiously, but he found that his body began to slide backwards involuntarily, "Amilia, you, why are you dragging me." ”

"Let's go!"

George who climbed out of the ground broke the silence on the field, as if the dam had burst, and Emilia's inexplicable emotions finally found an outlet for catharsis.

She grabbed George by the collar, and without asking if anyone agreed, she dragged George without saying a word, and left without looking back.

"Don't, don't drag me anymore, my clothes are going to break!" exclaimed George.

"Shut up!

She remembered what Edward had said to her - look for a chance to leave.

Since the person they were looking for in Alsace was not her, but Edward, and she would only cause trouble for Edward if she stayed here, she chose to leave with George.

There may be a deeper reason, but there is only one thing on her mind now, to leave that person, to leave the person she subconsciously wants to rely on.

So, in a series of miserable wails, Emilia dragged George away from the Wild Bear Tribe, leaving Edward and the others to watch stupidly.

"It's gone. Looking at the girl's thin back, Arthas muttered to himself.

"Well, let's go. John whispered yes.

"John, have you forgotten your mission?" Alsace called John, who had fallen into a dream, and gave him another look.

"Your Royal Highness, I—I know!" John suddenly came to his senses, no longer looking at Amilia's distant back, and pointed at Edward and said loudly, "Boy, you know what is going to happen next. We won't show mercy, you must shout out when it hurts, and give me a good sense of it!"

"Just what I wanted. ”

Edward shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.
