Ademisor stood up from the wooden chair, and just as Esther had expected, he tripped over the corner of the table because his eyes were too focused.

However, he quickly straightened his body and did not fall to the ground, and it was obvious that he had undergone the initial training and his reaction speed had improved.

Ademisor stared at Esther by the door, not moving away even for a moment.

Esther looked hesitantly at the rabbit sleeping on the couch and asked in a low voice, "Do you need me to help you find something to use as an eye patch?" ”

Ademisor grabbed the book's arm and lifted it up, as if trying to cut off his vision with the book, but he was reluctant to look away: "I—I see, where do I seem to have seen the light...... Who are you? ”

Esther remained silent, and shook her head at Ademisor with a serious expression: "Don't look, don't think, it's not good for you." ”

Ademisore then spread out the book and trembled in front of his eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you! I've learned to suppress my vision......"

Esther smiled and patted Ademisore on the shoulder before walking over to the couch, where she gently pushed the rabbit awake.

The boy sat up sleepily and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth: "Ai, Hamel? You're back? ”

"Yes, this is all settled, can I take you back to the hotel, or do you prefer to sleep on the couch?"

The rabbit yawned widely, rubbing his eyes with his fists, "That's for sure, ha—the bed is comfortable." ”

He finally woke up from his sleepy dream, and subconsciously grabbed Esther's cuffs and stood up: "Have I slept for a long time?" ”

Esther shook her head and led the rabbit to the door: "It's been two hours, now you can go back and sleep." ”

Ademisore gradually put down the book in his hand, he looked at Esther intently, and when the two were about to step out of the door, he suddenly followed quickly: "Also, the larks I saw in the square, they ......"

"They may be close to you," Esther whispered, interrupting Ademisore's leaping words, "because you were once sheltered by a little light. If you want, throw them some food, though I don't know them. ”

Ademisore stopped suddenly, as if he had heard another unspoken word, "I don't know you."

Ademisore frowned in anguish, and it wasn't until the lady who had taken the boy had left for good that he came back from his deep thoughts, out of his state of staring at the ethereal fate, and a soft, faint light appeared in his perception, and quickly faded.

Ademisore then remembered what was going on, and he hurried to Captain Frye to report that the Lady had taken the child away, and by the way, the lady was the Lady.

Goddess Light? No, it's called the Goddess Star......

Ademisol patted his forehead vigorously, but didn't think of anything more.

Outside of the Black Thorn Security Company, horse-drawn cabs roam the streets, riding the long blanket of dusky carpets poured by street lamps, leaving behind memories mottled by cannibalization.

——

"So we're going back soon?" The rabbit sat next to Esther, yawning every now and then, trying to cheer up himself by chatting, not wanting to snooze in the carriage anymore.

Esther nodded: "Wait until the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we will return to Prieze Harbor." I'm going to a special rally. ”

The rabbit's eyes lit up instantly: "Is it that kind of special gathering?" Everyone involved is just as ...... as you."

"Yes, it's all 'extraordinary.'" Esther grimaced, "But it's dangerous to be extraordinary, so don't have too many illusions. ”

"What's the danger?" The rabbit asked, "I want to have those wonderful abilities too." ”

Esther smiled bitterly: "All power has a price, for me, today is today, I don't even dare to delusion what will happen in the future." ”

She looked up and tapped her temple, "There's something hidden here that can destroy the entire East End, you've seen it in your dreams, and that kind of light isn't a good thing." ”

The rabbit nodded incomprehensibly, and did not speak, staring silently in the direction of the window.

"Even if you become extraordinary, you won't necessarily remember me, if that's something you're curious about. You were there at the time, and the officers of the Church of the Night Goddess had long forgotten about me. ”

Only then did the rabbit raise his head, and his face turned a little paler: "Is there no other way?" ”

Esther's smile was gentle, but she didn't answer the question, but changed the subject: "By the way, I made an agreement with that Mr. Benjamin, don't be wary of him anymore, for a short time." ”

"Huh!? Why! Rabbit's eyes widened in shock and stared at Esther in disbelief, "I don't like him, he comes across as weird, looks like the kind of bastard who steals from thieves in turn!" He, he even possessed me like an evil spirit......"

The description of "stealing from a thief" amused Esther, who pointed to herself: "I'll do something for him, and that's what he asks of me." ”

The rabbit shook his head vigorously, as if trying to get the thing out of his head, and he repeated: "I don't like him!" I always felt that he had bad intentions! ”

Esther thought for a few seconds: "You are not wrong, when I come into contact with Benjamin, he always gives me a special feeling...... Do you still have that clump of hair I gave you? ”

"Of course!" The rabbit patted his chest, "Hide it tightly." ”

"That's good."

However, the rabbit's expression quickly collapsed again, and even showed a little grievance: "Seriously, he hates it." ”

"It's okay, you just ignore Benjamin and don't care about his feelings."

The rabbit put his hand in his pocket: "I didn't plan to care about him!" ”

Ever since the rabbit heard that Benjamin was going to go with him, it was evident that he was full of hostility towards him—even more so than before, and the next morning when the two sat in the dining room of the hotel, Benjamin also came to the dining room, and walked to the table, the rabbit's face was very ugly.

It even looks like the oatmeal in the bowl will be snapped to Benjamin's head at any moment.

Benjamin, however, smiled politely at the two of them, as if he had not noticed the rabbit's gloomy gaze, for for to him the hostility of such a boy was only amusing.

Raising an eyebrow at the rabbit defiantly, Benjamin pulled away another chair at the table: "Don't mind if I sit here?" ”

Esther glanced at him helplessly: "If I say mind, you really won't sit down?" ”

"I'll sit down anyway."

Asther turned to the rabbit, "You see, I said just ignore him, because no matter what you do to him, he doesn't care." ”

Benjamin knocked on the table and beckoned the waiter to come and order: "No, I still care." ”

Esther was a little surprised to hear that this was true: "Would you care?" ”

Benjamin just glanced at her, didn't answer the question, and ordered the waiter for his own breakfast, strong tea and Intis cheese toast.

Because Esther was nearby, the rabbit did not take any actual action, but only imagined in his mind for a long time the scene of buttoning the oatmeal on Benjamin's head.

Every time Esther's gaze shifted, the rabbit would roll her eyes to Benjamin.

This only amused Benjamin – the ignorant don't know what they're up against, so they can always behave so fearlessly. Benjamin, of course, didn't bother with the rabbit, and Esther couldn't run around with the child forever, and she would let him go one day.

At that time, such an ordinary child, even with Esther's protection, "Benjamin" has no way in a short time, but he can't avoid the parasitism of Amon's doppelganger forever, and Esther's protection will lose its effect with the passage of time.

Benjamin is quite looking forward to such a development.

But now he wants to ease his relationship with Esther, and at least until the sixth, Benjamin will do all the superficial work to maintain his current image.

At least Esther had a little concession to him, and he had to figure out what to do at the sixth-meeter......

Benjamin asked the waiter for a copy of the Tingen Morning Post, and the case that had occurred at the "Lilac Hotel" the night before, with a blackened and bold headline, hung on the front page, and the cover showed the serious and square face of the Toller police officer, revealing only the more dignified upper body, and his belly was left outside the frame of the photo.

Esther swept the outer page of the newspaper, put down the hot cocoa in her hand, and asked casually, "So they didn't leave too much detailed information in the newspaper, right?" They were faster than I thought they would be able to press for a few more days......"

"After all, there were many ordinary people present at the time, and if we hadn't caught the suspect, maybe they would have suppressed this matter for a long time, so as not to cause panic among the citizens." Benjamin flipped through the newspaper and swayed his backhand over the teacup, stealing most of the heat before bringing the warmed black tea to his lips.

The rabbit looked at Benjamin and then at Esther, and lowered his voice: "So you caught that bad guy last night?" Just spent one night? ”

"It's not 'you', it's 'you'." Benjamin corrected the rabbit, "I can help, but Esther doesn't use my help." ”

The rabbit thrust the spoon into the cereal, "It's Hamel, you should call her Miss Brooke." ”

Benjamin chuckled: "What? I dug her name out of your head, little friend. ”

Noticing that the rabbit's face suddenly became more ugly, and knowing that he remembered the memory of being parasitized, Esther reached out and patted the boy's head: "So I warned you, just ignore him and concentrate on your breakfast." ”

Benjamin squinted his eyes and shook his head at Esther: "You can't protect this kid all the time. ”

"Is this a threat?" Esther asked with a smile.

"Absolutely not, just another reminder." Benjamin replied vaguely, looking down and continuing to look through the newspaper in his hand. (End of chapter)
