"Speaking of which, it looks like we haven't seen little Eve in a few days. ”

In the meadow outside Ariel's Manor, Ariel, Frey, and Anne are sitting leisurely drinking tea, but Frey is supposed to be eating.

Behind the three of them, each of them stood their own maids, but from the expressions of Meng Meng and Ella, it seemed that the battle between the two of them was far from over.

But even so, such a scene is a beautiful scene that can be recorded by a painter.

"I don't see her in five or six days, hey, I miss her so much. ”

“...... Don't keep that on your's face for me. Ariel gave Anne a blank look, "If you like, just use your power to get her to you." ”

"How can this be?" Anne smiled and waved her hand, "It's a coercion, I prefer it to be voluntary than forced......"

"Hey. ”

"Ah, that's so cute, little Eve. Anne ignored Ariel's words and went into fantasy mode, "And so obedient and industrious, I feel jealous of her future husband." ”

Is this something to be jealous of?

"Oh no, I have to do something, like let her recognize me as my sister first, and then I'm using my sister's name to fund her, but wouldn't this be a little inappropriate for her......"

Just when Anne was about to fantasize about something more, when she opened her eyes, she suddenly found little Eve standing in front of her, looking at her with big innocent eyes.

It's over, isn't it my brain supplement just now......

"Ariel, why didn't you remind me?"

"Why did you warn you?" said Ariel, glancing at Anne, "I wasn't making it up anyway. ”

"Hey ......"

"Don't quarrel with your two highnesses. Ahri pulled Eve in front of the two of them, "It's going to freak out Eve." Is Eve here to deliver apples today?"

"Well, yes. Although the expression on Eve's face is still beautiful. But there was always some sadness in his tone.

"Why hasn't Eve come these days?

"Even if you don't have anything, you can come and play with Sister Anne. Anne began to brush up on her favorability.

But playing with you can be dangerous if it's a woman.

"There's been something going on at home these days. Eve's expression drooped, "Besides, this may be the last time I'll deliver apples to my sisters." ”

What is going on?

"Eve, what's wrong with you?" Anne hurriedly leaned over to look at Eve, "Is there something sick? I'll get you a priest." ”

"It's Mommy......" Eve said and began to rub her eyes with her hands, "Mom was bitten by a big snake when she went to the mountains the other day. None of the wounds healed, Eve didn't have anything to do, we didn't have any money at home, we couldn't hire a priest......"

"Snake?" Ariel stood up, "what does it look like? Is it that Medusa?"

"I don't know, mom just said she's big. ”

"Squeak, squeak, squeak. ”

"My brother said that it shouldn't be Medusa, although they are also snakes, but they usually don't leave a living mouth. ”

"Sisters. Eve knelt down as she spoke. Ahri hurriedly helped her. "It's okay to help Eve, Dad can't move, Eve doesn't know the roads in the city, Eve doesn't want to see Mom. ”

"Eve, stand up, it's dirty. Ahri tried to pull Eve up, but the little guy was surprisingly stubborn and refused to stand up. "We're sure to help you. ”

"As long as you can save Mom. Eve is willing to do anything. ”

“...... Get up. Ariel crouched down and picked up Eve, who was about her size. "Even if you don't say it, we'll help you. ”

"Thank you...... Thank you. ”

"Hey, don't cry. "Ariel doesn't mind spilling tears on her clothes, but.

Little Eve was a little heavy.

"Well, I don't cry. ”

This time, Eve finally regained her former innocence and liveliness. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Anyway, we don't know what the snake is like now, so let's go to Eve's house to see how her parents are healing. ”

―――――――――――――――――― cutting ――――――――――――――――――――

Behind her manor, there is such a beautiful place hidden, and Ariel is only now aware of it for the first time.

I always feel like the kind of guy who doesn't care about the fog of war.

Along the way, Eve, who has regained her spirits, is bouncing around for everyone. Even the harmless critters are very close to Eve.

"Ah, here we are, that's Eve's house. ”

Eve pointed to a small cabin hidden in the woods ahead of her, and sped over.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"

“...... I didn't expect there to be such a forest behind my estate, it's really ......"

"This forest is certainly not simple, Ariel. Anne looked around, "I bet there must be some very rare treasure buried here." ”

...... Is it a treasure again? Could it be a limited edition Hazama in a tin box?

But Anne, how do you know?

"There is an aura of light magic here, but it is not actively emitted, there must be some treasure. ”

...... Okay, just don't dig up a monster by then.

Just as everyone was about to reach the cabin, a middle-aged man staggered out of the door, still holding a wooden stick in his right hand as a support.

"Daddy!" Eve in the room immediately ran out, "Your injuries are not healed, why did you run out?"

Eve's dad?

It seems that because of labor, there are a lot of wrinkles on the face, which is like Chris's parents, if you don't know, you think they are young in their twenties and thirties.

"Eve, are they?"

"They're friends of Eve, and they're here to help her mother!" said Eve, helping her father to the crowd.

"Well, that, good nobility. ”

Probably seeing that Ariel and his party did not look like ordinary people, the man hurriedly wanted to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by Ariel.

"No, uncle, salutes are no longer fashionable. ”

Ariel, are you blatantly challenging authority like that?

"Ah, you are, I know you. The man seemed to be incoherent as if he had seen something incredible. "Aren't you the duke you trusted? Ah, there, it seems to be the lord of the county...... Eve, how do you ......?"

Uncle, you are really good eyesight.

"I, I only found out later. ”

"Okay, uncle, the titles are useless. Ariel waved her hand, "We're here to help Eve today, can you take a look at her mother's injuries?"

(I haven't felt anything in the past few days, so I have to say sorry, is it because I haven't stopped surfing the Internet recently?) (To be continued......)
