11. "Pasture" for the "lamb"

"Come here, let me scrape the wool off your body with the tools in my hand, and after that you will have a handful of grass that is completely different from the grass. ”

The shepherds said that this was their way of trying to persuade the lambs to come.

All lambs know that if they pass, their wool will be plundered, and that with the first time, there will be a second and a third......

No lamb will know whether the next time they walk over, they will contribute their wool or their lives as they have done before, but they know that they can no longer resist the temptation of pasture.

The lambs will fall little by little, just like the "lambs".

Erica is a naΓ―ve girl, however, this does not mean that she is stupid, if she is just a stupid person, she would have died on the side of the road for a long time, instead of living alone until now.

When she was already hungry and had no strength, she suddenly found that even the singing she sang because of her performance at that time was enough to make everyone stop and listen. The dance of the singer who dances in the tavern that I saw on weekdays was thought to be only used to pass the time and make myself forget a little bit of hunger because of concentration, but it also came in handy at that time.

Erica suddenly discovers what she can use to survive, and she doesn't lose this opportunity, and soon she is being hired as a singer in a tavern.

Poor wages, restricted freedom, but for Erica, who can live as long as she can, it's nothing. And this qiΔ“ was all broken by the arrival of that man.

Erica, who was dancing, knew that the paladin hadn't come to see her, but had only shown up in the tavern because she was going to be a guard for the big shots, but even so. It won't hinder Erica's sudden feelings.

However, after all, this is only a one-sided crush, and the other party is unlikely to agree. No, most of them never even notice themselves. However, after a long time in this torment, Erica finally ushered in a turnaround.

The terrible magician named Lilith helped her escape from the tavern that restricted her freedom for a strange reason, and now, the "witch" has given her the only chance to make her wish come true.

Even if you don't see each other's faces. Erica also knew that in this area where the cultists gathered, this guy who called himself a "witch" was definitely not a good person, but ......

This has nothing to do with himself, as long as he sticks out his head hard and eats the grass handed by the "witch", as for this handful of grass, what dirty methods did the "witch" use, and what does it have to do with himself?

The gazebo in the middle of the night has completely lost the morning calm. In the constant whistling of the wind, in the dim moonlight, it looked like an altar opened by the "witch" in preparation for an evil ritual. and himself, on the altar, was the first sacrifice.

Thinking of this, Erica suddenly felt a little scared, but the extremely tempting conditions thrown by the "witch" still made Erica hold back the fear in her heart.

"Witch...... Witch, are you, are you there?"

Erica calls out to the "witch". It's as if a hungry "lamb" is crying out to graze. As for what conditions the "witch" will bring, it doesn't matter.

"You're punctual. Elektra. ”

The voice of the "witch" sounded behind her, and Erica used all her willpower. Only then did I suppress the curiosity that came back.

The "witch" must not want to let herself turn back and see her face, why, why?

"Since you have come here, it means that you have not told me about my deposit, you are a docile 'lamb', this time, I will give you an extra handful of pasture. ”

"I, I made a choice. ”

Erica shuddered suddenly, she knew that it was her instinct to remind her not to believe the words of the "witch" and not to agree to the "witch's" persuasion.

Whether it was a knife or a grass waiting for him in front of him, only the "witch" knew it. But no, it couldn't be refused, and Erica was unwilling to let this only chance slip through her hands. "Witch", you, you......

"I am willing to promise you, as long as you ask, I will do it. ”

The "lamb" laid down all its arms, even though its opposite horns were originally a decoration, "As long as you let me live and let my wish come true, I am willing to do something for you." ”

"Lamb" has been completely domesticated, it's really a simple thing, and you don't even have to bother to speak, a docile "lamb".

The "witch" smiled, she could already feel Erica behind her trembling, was she afraid?

But don't worry, "lamb", as long as you keep eating pasture, you are already helping yourself. As for the future......

Although euthanasia is good, the "witch" will not do a loss-making business, and the grass for the "lamb" is not to make it fatter?

"My request is not excessive at all, no, what I mentioned is not a request at all. ”

The "witch" whispered that it was difficult for the current "lamb" to even walk, so the "witch" had to help it grow.

"Erica, do you want to be a saint?"

"I want to be!"

"So, what are you praying for?"

"If you become a saint, you can make him notice me. "I pray for this every day, so I have to become a saint." ”

"That's a good determination, Erica, I hope you can keep it up, if you don't have determination, you won't succeed in doing anything. ”

The "witch" stood up, tonight's conversation was over, and she couldn't have too much conversation with this "lamb" today, because she had to be reassured for a while, who was becoming more and more alert.

It's just temporary, and tomorrow, it won't be so peaceful.

Watching "her" desperately search for herself, there is nothing more interesting than this.

"Erica, I know all your worries, and tomorrow you will see the first handful of grass I sent you. However, this is just my help to get you to your feet, if you don't want to move yourself...... I will not leave a 'lamb' that can only lie down. (To be continued)
