"Haven't woken up yet? How long has it been since the last dose? ”

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in my ears, a stream of water rattled, and a wet and cold touch pulled consciousness out of the chaos. The cold object touches the lips, and the gentle, slightly sweet-tasting liquid flows into the mouth, across the esophagus and into the stomach. The lips chirped, and the aftertaste was sweet, as if another spoonful of the same liquid flowed into the mouth as if he understood his own mind.

"Lily, come and see! He finally reacted. The girl's surprised voice came from beside her.

Slowly opening his eyes, he saw several sweet-looking and cute girls watching him, and joyful romance appeared on their faces.

"Please don't move, and leave everything to us until your injuries heal, this is what Lord Heatrice has ordered." Before the boys could speak, one of the girls spoke.

"Heatrice? Do you mean the majestic-looking woman? ”

The boy searched for his memories, but his brain dizzy. The girls looked at him with concern, and after making sure that there would be no emergency, they went back to work, leaving a familiar face by their side.

"When Mistress Heatrice was helping you with your wounds, you were like... After a frenzied struggle, you faint and fall asleep, and it is not until the moment you wake up that your body temperature slowly returns to normal. Airi reached over the spoon and motioned for the boy to open his mouth.

The unknown emotion stirred from the bottom of his heart, and the boy opened his mouth cooperatively, looking deeply at the girl in front of him, but he didn't know that the liquid in his mouth was slowly flowing to his throat. As he swallowed, some of the mischievous liquid slid into another channel while the body was distracted, causing the boy to cough violently.

"Be careful, are you alright?" Airi panicked and put down the bowl and spoon in her hand, eagerly caressed the boy's back, and took a white towel to wipe the corners of the boy's mouth and eyes.

"Ahem... I'm fine..."When the boy took the towel, he found that his palms were covered with bandages, and when he was shocked, he removed the bedding from his body to find that his naked body and feet were also covered with bandages.

"Is it really okay? I see your cheeks turn red! Airi leaned over and stroked her forehead, "Isn't it possible that I have another fever..."

When he thought of this, Aili looked at the boy's field of vision, and then understood the boy's psychology, and laughed out loud. When the boy noticed it, he immediately rolled up the futon and wrapped his whole body tightly, and his red cheeks stood out like a soldering iron. The girl burst out laughing.

"Even if a child's body is seen, it's nothing, or we've seen it when we wiped your body with a towel during the time you fainted, so there's nothing to be shy about!"

Airi smirked at the futon and teased the boy, until a discordant sound sounded before Airi returned to her original form, straightened her clothes, and walked out the door.

"I guess I haven't eaten in a long time, my stomach is rumbling." Airi walked to the door and looked at the cupboard on the side, "You have a good rest now, I'll go and make you something to eat, that, let Lily get you a set of clothes that fit!" ”

The room fell into a dead silence as the door lock rattled, with the occasional explosion coming from the nearby stove.

The boy poked his head out and looked around, and he was the only one left in the large room. I wanted to get out of bed and walk around, but when I lifted the futon and saw my naked body, I was forced to give up my thoughts and lie down. Looking at the ornately decorated rooftop, feeling the slow passage of time, the brain seems to go blank as if it is down.

"What am I waiting for? What are you yearning for? ”

An inexplicable emotion came to his heart, and the boy straightened up, trying to find out where the emotion came from. When he descended to the ground, he found himself neatly dressed, and his gorgeous clothes seemed to tell him that he was ready to go and meet someone.

Pushing open the door, the lively atmosphere instantly came to the face, and a familiar girl walked past with a plate, greeting the girl in the distance as if she didn't pay attention to herself. The boy closed the door and walked past them into the aisle, passing through a room, looking through the door, Airi was busy not knowing what to do, and the other girls beside him were also busy. After a brief pause, the boy continued on his own pace, and on the way met the woman named Heatrice, who closed the door as if she had noticed herself, and talked to the people in the room. I also heard the sound and came to the hall, and saw all kinds of people walking back and forth here.

Eventually, a man walked up the winding steps with light steps, and compared to the outside world, this place seemed exceptionally lonely and lonely. The angular stones were stacked together in an orderly manner by human hands, forming a birdcage-like tower, and the imprisoned were singing songs and waiting for everything.

The dark front was gradually dispelled by the scorching light and shadow, and the heavy footsteps echoed in the darkness, one step at a time, and the sound of breathing became rapid. As if aware of the boy's arrival, when he saw the heavy and luxurious door, it was slowly opening inward, and the lights in the room were gradually lit.

In the center of the light, on a spacious bed, a figure sits playing with a doll in his hand, and under the bed, a petite creature up its ears and looks at it alertly. Looking around, the richly decorated room has no furniture other than the bed in the center, but all kinds of dolls are stacked around it.

The boy walked towards the girl, and he had an inexplicable urge in his heart to go to the girl's side, surrender to her, and wait by her side forever. The shrill screams pierced the silence, causing all eyes to fall on the little creature under the bed, which was barking at the boy, its trembling limbs moving back with the boy's footsteps, as if desperately warning the boy not to come forward, but the boy ignored it.

"Are you here to play with me, too?" The girl looked back at the boy with a smile on her fair and beautiful face.

The yin wind beat the curtains, driving the lights to sway wildly, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became weird, and the idols around them writhed their bodies like they came to life, slowly approaching the girl, and the body became larger and larger with each step, and the life under the bed became more and more terrifying.

The boy looked at the girl silently, her face becoming terrifying as her surroundings changed, and the idol in her hand was a demon imprisoned in the world, struggling to break through the restraints and drive the boy away. But he didn't flinch, and every step was like a glittering blow from a valiant warrior, forcing the surrounding ghosts to lower their bodies and not dare to move forward.

The girl stood up, like a queen who had come here, with her arms outstretched, and everything around her was in submission to her, and she knelt under the mattress, except for the boy in front of her. The girl's smile grew brighter with each step, and everything around him watched him as the boy walked under the mattress and knelt down before the girl as they did.

A slender hand reached out to the boy, and he caressed it and kissed it lightly on the back of his hand, as if swearing allegiance to her. The girl leaned down in joy to take the boy's hand, and the light shone so brightly that the boy had to block his view and look up to see the girl's true face.

I saw that the pink and lovely mouth was talking about something, and before I could see it clearly, it was overwhelmed by the enveloping light.
