9. The regret that the resurrected need to realize
"Great, you're finally back. β
Seeing You, who was covered with flower petals and couldn't even be spared on her head, Lilith finally breathed a sigh of relief, and while agreeing to Yu walking into this prosperous sea alone, Lilith regretted it.
Because the eyes of Yu at that time were exactly the same as those of himself at a certain time. It was eyes full of despair, and he was only thinking of a way to find a little solace in his actions. At that time, you were in such a state.
However, I couldn't go in and look for her, because every time I took a step closer to here, my body would feel more powerless. You didn't lie to yourself, this huge tree must be constantly absorbing the essence of human beings.
Fortunately, Yu is back, although the wolf bèi, but safe.
"Didn't I let you go back, why are you still here? β
Yu urged, and began to drive Lilith and Anne away, "The dryad is still in a continuous state, and the scope of influence is gradually expanding, little princess, please let those respectable soldiers leave." Because I don't think I'll get anything out of standing here. β
"Well, I understand, if that's a must. β
Anne nodded, "I'll arrange for the evacuation when I get back...... But if it's true that the scope of influence is constantly expanding, what should we do?"
β...... That's what I want to ask as well. "It's rude, but it's an important question, so Lilith won't be stingy to speak," ...... Did you just get anything?"
If when you walk in, you are dying, then when you walk out of the city. Yu is more like he is confused.
He is equal to the determination to die. A strange bewilderment. It's as if even its own existence is being denied.
If Yu really saw her sister, it is hard to imagine what kind of rhetoric the other party used to make Yu fool like this. Obviously, before this, the ghost was a casual ghost that no matter how magnificent the event was, it didn't care about it.
"Get...... Maybe not, on the contrary, a lot has been lost. β
Yu waved his fan lightly. "But on the other hand, Li-chan, I think this time, it's better to listen to your advice a little. β
Yu opened her eyes, which had been open all along, and Lilith suddenly realized that they were so bright and clear, not inferior to anyone.
"Because, I also want to know something. β
......
Yu perked up, nothing could get better than this. Because there were too many troubles, Lilith had to rest in a nearby city that night.
I have to say. The human nose is sensitive. Just because of the rumors of the demon tree, they had already smelled danger. It's not just the location of the demon tree that has become an empty city. Even in the neighboring cities, there have already begun to appear in a hurry of refugees.
Because they have plenty of time to prepare, they carry large bags and small bags, even their necks, and they look a little funny when they are used as hangers, but they should not be blamed. In a sense, their judgment was really accurate to the point of being extremely astonishing.
Lilith and Yu sat across from each other, and the two had been staring at each other wordlessly for a long time.
In the end, Yu still chose to compromise.
"She's my sister Sakura, I think I've explained it before. β
You said, "However, this time she was born, it seems that it has become a very bad situation." β
"Do you mean the tree that covers half the city?"
Indeed, the tree was too big, and the big one was somewhat unreal. So, naturally, its danger also increases.
"I have to say it's quite big, and it's dangerous. β
"It may not be a tree, it should be said that it is a dryad, who lives by sucking the essence of humans. Originally, when I was alive, she should have been sealed by her sister at the cost of her life. β
You unconsciously looked away, it seemed that she wanted to explain the past vaguely about the problem here, "Anyway, now she has appeared with the dryad, and ...... I'm sorry, I really can't think of a way to retreat, and at present, I can only evacuate the people around me step by step. β
"And then watching this kind of thing, eroding the land step by step?"
Lilith shook her head, "I'm sorry, but that's the only thing I can't compromise. No matter what method is used, fire, magic, it must be eliminated. β
"So please give me some time. β
Yu stood up, "Please give me a moment to think about it...... If I can figure it out...... It should not be able to ......."

There was a soft movement outside the window, and if it weren't for the fact that Yu and Lilith happened to be silent, they would probably have been ignored.
Could it be some kind of mischievous little animal? However, it was clearly a sound that would only be made when something was accidentally stepped on during a rapid attack. It's already late at night, and a lot of residents have already left the city, so why is there such a situation?
"Did you hear that?"
Lilith lowered her voice, "It's not a delusion, is it?"
"......" shook his head, and at the same time, Yu clapped his hands and watched as Malogar quietly jumped off the ceiling.
This guy ...... What kind of terrible place do you usually stay......
"Ryu-chan, go take a look. β
"Wait, I'm going with you, I'm a little concerned. β
Lilith said, "Let's go stay with Sister Anne for a while." I always feel that strange things happen at such a coincidental time, no matter how you look at it, it is no longer a coincidence. β
......
Perhaps it was because the inhabitants had fled in a hurry and left a lot of connections, and although this was not a dead city at all, the smell of desolation had begun to fill the air.
The nervous, hurried people had fled in a hurry, and those who remained had shrunk and shrunk in their rooms, though perhaps even they knew that it was in vain.
Over here. Maybe it's one. Let's judge the difference between human beings. Because even a small action can make all the difference. So......
It would be better if you didn't just go on with so much confusion and distress, but took action.
"Can you find the source of the sound?"
Lilith was being held by Malogar, watching her swiftly weave through the night. Now think about it, since being reduced to an ordinary person. It seems that anyone can easily pick her up.
β...... Barely could, so, quiet. β
Malogar's movements are terrifying and fast, even when holding a person, he can run at an unbelievable speed.
But soon she stopped, because something unexpected happened.
No, this should be the ultimate goal of this operation. Because, suspiciously, the guy who scurried around at night was found. But she ...... No, it's them.
γBangγ
"Done, done. Ah, sure enough, it's already the limit for me to carry two adults by myself. β
A girl like a tomboy, but that's just from the outside. Because in this environment, at this time, which guy who haunts at this time can judge the inside by his appearance?
Familiar fellow, ahhh
If you're right, the girl with the long braids is probably the guy who calls himself Agthias. The two seem to have been acting together all along, and this time......
"Hey, I'm afraid you'll have to help carry one this time, ah, no, let's carry two. β
Hercules said, slamming the two innocent men who had fainted on his shoulders to the ground.
"Because of you stupid running around, some guests have come to the door. β
βοΌβ
"But it's not bad. β
Hercules looked in Lilith's direction, "Yo, it's really rare to meet the witch before at such a late hour." Sleep deprivation is the enemy of women, right?"
"If there were fewer suspicious people who move around the night, I think I could still have a good night's sleep. β
While motioning for Malogar to put herself down, Lilith struggled to keep her composure.
Calm and sane, Hercules and Agthius, the impression of themselves should still be stuck in the previous meeting in the basement. In other words, they don't know that they have actually become ordinary people.
Maintain a consistent attitude, as long as you bluff the two of them here, not only will there be no danger, but you may be able to say something, because the two of them are obviously not my sister's pawns, but ......
Hercules ...... Isn't it, it's okay if you show up here so late, what's the matter with the two fallen innocent humans next to you?"
"Hmm...... They're not dead, it's pointless to die. β
Hercules scratched his head in annoyance, "Hey, do you think I'm going to tell me about this?"
β...... Whatever you want. Agthius shook off a sentence and then stopped talking, but looked at Lilith carefully.
"Aha, that's great, I just can't keep a secret!"
Hercules looked a little excited, "Then I'll tell you, fake witch-sama." I don't think you know, that ...... What's it called, the cherry blossom tree? These guys are sent over to give the tree nourishment?"
Nutrients......
Nutrients!?
These guys...... Actually take a living person as a nutrient for a tree!?
"Well, ah, don't look at me with such stern eyes, in fact, I personally don't like to do this, taking living people as nourishment or something, and it seems that I can't be liberated after death. β
Hercules waved his hand, "But there is no way, as a price, we still have to listen to the orders of that stinky woman." β
"Who is it!?"
"Guldan, he's a funny guy, but it's a little disgusting that he doesn't take a shower. β
Hercules frowned, "Well, don't scold us for being so stupid to listen to her. β
β...... Gone, Hercules. β
"Ahh β
Hercules said as he carried the rest of the people on his shoulders, "Because we didn't come back for no reason, Agrathius won't say anything......"
"Even if it's me, there are some regrets that I really want to accomplish and can't finish?" (To be continued......)
