because i am stel

She saw the boy in front of her subconsciously lean back, and almost bumped his head against the big tree behind him.

"For some...special reason, my friends and I came from another world and landed on this land. On the way to land, I got separated from them. She was in the city, I was outside the city, and There is one I don't know where she is now. So I want to entrust you to help find her."

"...You guy, don't you even know how to restrain your speech!?" The boy rubbed his head vigorously—he rubbed it for the second time within a minute—he opened his mouth, perhaps intending to be more serious, but his shoulders were tired Slumped lazily.

"...Well, there are precedents for outsiders like you on this continent. I don't care about abilities. As for finding someone... that's okay. Although my abilities are in the world Bottom of the list, but it's okay to find someone in Mond. What's her name? What does she look like?"

"Talulah Atrias, um, this is a portrait." Miss Shirter used the sword as a brush and the dry ground as a canvas.After a little smearing, a bust of Tallulah was drawn. "Her hair is silver-gray, and her horns are black. She can control fire, but it should be different from the regular fire elemental."

"The painting is not bad." The Fengshen boy looked at the painting on the ground, showing an artistic aesthetic smile of approval. "Is it the same as your Huoyan?"

"I'm not sure. After all, I haven't been in this world for long."

"Okay, then I'll give it a try...how can I find you?"

Miss Steele raised an eyebrow.She didn't think Barbatos couldn't locate herself after finding Tallulah.So her IQ, which can only be activated at this time, will be fully operational, and she can read the meaning behind the words that even a guy like Barbatos who loves to make trouble but is a good person is embarrassed to say it directly.

——As an outsider, you know too much, too much.And you also hold a power that is hard to ignore.

—Are you a friend, or an enemy?Which do you want to be?

"You will find me, of course," replied Miss Steele. "Because I will take my friends to visit nearby manors and villages. Before I find Tallulah, I don't plan to take any extra actions."

"Oh, then I recommend you to go to the nearby Chenxi Winery... Well, it may not be very 'nearby'. But I can take you on a journey. After all—" He glanced politely at the girl's arms A fawn curled up in a ball. "This lady seems to need to rest, and near the Chenxi Winery, there is the best hotel, wine, and gorgeous scenery in all of Mond."

He made an inviting gesture, and the wind formed a colorless chariot beside her.

"Two beautiful ladies, the bard Wendy, can you have the honor to drive this special express train for you?"

He spoke his name, his own human name.And that implies a certain sincerity.

So Miss Steele nodded.

"I'm Shirtel, and this is Alina." She took the deer, gracefully boarded the car of wind and thanked.

"my pleasure."

And the next moment, the channel of the breath of wind surged, sending the visitors to the expected place.

....................................

Wendy is gone.

After sending Miss Shirter and Alina to a large winery and its surrounding towns.The living god who claimed to be a bard bowed slightly to the two, and then hid in the wind.

He's gone because he's got a job on his shoulders—after all, no matter how out of tune this guy is.But it is still a responsible good old god at heart.After making sure that the unexpected interloper, Miss Steele, wasn't going to take a direct part in the business at hand, he left to deal with his dragon friend.And with Ms. Shirtel's sword as a foreshadowing, presumably the progress of the plot will be much faster than the original.

Shirtel didn't intend to disturb him.I also didn't plan to participate in the development of the original plot-of course, it would take trouble to bring people back to Terra.But before doing anything, the most important thing is to gather all the people who want to be brought back.

So--

Since the host invites you warmly, as a guest, you must have the minimum courtesy and attention to detail.Presumably, the whole process of this Fengmolong incident, which didn't even cause casualties, was under the control of the seemingly incomprehensible Fengshen.And Miss Stelter, who has always been used to giving charcoal in a timely manner, naturally would not do the kind of work that is icing on the cake and still be disgusted.

She turned her head and looked at the town in front of her eyes—even in the game, there are many residential buildings near Dawn Winery due to economic radiation.And when the fiction becomes reality, the largest brewing center in Mond will naturally expand to a corresponding scale.

Barbatos is a god who advocates freedom and will never interfere with Mond's administrative operations.

Therefore, under his connivance, this land called Mond has become a free land that will not hide from meteors, but run to watch the excitement.

It is obvious that the free land under God's gaze cannot afford the plantation formula.

Therefore, around this huge winery estate, there are a large number of town markets established due to economic operations.

There are many people, and the street is quite lively.Alina is still curled up in her arms and pretending to be asleep, so the scene where the beautiful girl princess is holding another beautiful girl is naturally a little bit eye-catching.

Miss Steele didn't care, of course--she never cared about trifles like this.Holding Elafia in her arms, she found a hotel that looked rather elegant and booked a room - of course, she had no money with her.So she sold the exquisite one-handed sword that came with the recovery of the second body to the hotel owner, paying for the one-week accommodation fee, and after that, she probably had to live as a laborer.

She felt that the Fengmolong incident probably wouldn't last a week, and if Wendy worked hard.With the power of this wind god, it probably won't take a day to find Tallulah in the Mond area.Considering this guy's fishing nature, let him give him three days to find someone.And if there is no sign of Tallulah after three days, it means two things—or, Tallulah is not in Mond.Or, the trust between host and guest is broken.

Miss Steele sincerely hoped that the second event would not happen.Because that would mean a huge increase in her workload.After all, she really didn't want to make drastic and destructive changes outside the main line of the original god, a world she didn't know the foundation of in her previous life.

——I hope this fish-handling monster can be more reliable.

The girl thought to herself.She carried the deer to her own room—for safety reasons, she ordered a double room with a big bed.And when she closed the door and put Miss Alina on the bed.She clearly observed that the fawn's neck was stained with a touch of red, and its ears trembled slightly.

Ok.

The easier things have been dealt with, and what needs to be solved now is the other side, which is more serious-what should come will come.After dismissing Wendy, it was finally time to face Alina's bunch of "confessions before the corpse".

"Alina, Alina, you said we... you and me, what should we do?"

She sat down beside the deer, with her fingertips hanging down, gently stroking the ends of Alina's hair - as a pure love god of war, she would never do such a thing as a pure love god of war.But the hand that moves first in the corner... This is very troublesome.

"I don't think it's good," she said softly. "You and Tallulah are a couple. After all, you have been together day and night for the past few years. The relationship is deep, and I am just a sudden intruder. You may have seen too much glamor in me. But in fact, the gorgeous The light will only dazzle the eyes, but the familiar warmth around me is more worthy of long-term waiting."

She knew Alina was awake, always awake.

And she planned to reject Alina—just like what Persephone had guessed on the rooftop.

"Just treat it as a mistake. Alina, forget it. As if it didn't exist, I can completely erase that memory from my mind without leaving a trace. And if you want, I can also—"

Her words stuck.

Because Alina has already opened her eyes.Then--

——He took a hard bite and bit her hand.

Section No.90 · Going forward bravely with a girl's heart

More than ten hours ago, on the land of Terra.

When Stelter walked out of the clinic with the Tallulah bag, Persephone added some extra words on the roof before Alina was about to leave to take up her post at Peterheim Secondary School.

"Your competitiveness is very low. Although I don't mind having one more companion, as far as it is concerned, it is basically impossible for you to go to the end independently." The girl doctor of Rhodes Island looked flat and said indifferently——

"The bond with Tallulah is your disadvantage as well as your advantage. But other than that, you don't have any nodes to interact with her. Because you don't know how to fight, and you have nothing to do with academic research. The only thing you can do is to be a teacher, to pass on knowledge. And that’s definitely not a unique trait.”

"You should know what kind of person Shirtel is. Get rid of her one-sided character of 'relaxing everywhere'. It is difficult to find another individual as beautiful, rich, powerful, and glorious as her on this land The secrets and oaths she bears are heavier than the highest mountain in Terra. No matter in the past or now, in the culture of Yan Kingdom she loves, marriage is an enduring topic."

"Are you trying to persuade me to give up? Miss Persephone." Xiaolu brushed his hair back, but his eyes were brighter than ever. "But I have also read books. In this world, many great heroes who are famous for future generations are looking for their destination. The final harbor is often not a noble princess or a clever magician——

——Heroes with names and pedigrees.Often they end up choosing an obscure roadside flower over a dazzling jewel.Because they have long been used to the glory, the plainness is more attractive to them. "

She pressed lightly on her chest.

"I say this, not to say that I have the certainty of victory, nor that Shirtel will be willing to be mediocre. I just want to tell you—even if compared to the bright treasures around her, I am just a nameless flower. Wayside wildflowers. But I'm going to do my best to bloom before her eyes are gone from me for good."

"I'm not Tallulah's gift. Even if Tallulah is better than me in terms of birth, character, talent, skills, etc., even if she only paid attention to Tallulah at the beginning, she will focus on her. On me. I am not Tallulah’s dowry—I know that I can’t really help her, and I also know that it will be difficult for me to achieve more. But even so, when she looks over, I will fight for it, I also want to try to show my beauty."

This may be regarded as some kind of provocation, some kind of declaration of war.

However, these words did not arouse Persephone's slight emotion.

"It's good to have a fighting spirit, but I don't think this kind of passive waiting is a good strategy-give you a piece of advice. You may have a 'special' opportunity in the near future. Only once, the distance between you and her will be stretched to a minimum. And only once, you will have the opportunity to assist her in a real sense, and even..."

Persephone hesitated for a moment.This is an extremely rare move for her.

But she didn't stop talking after all.

"...Get out of the shackles, and no longer be an ordinary wild flower on the roadside."

"You mean...?" The eyes of the girl with antlers brightened.Although the other party spoke vaguely, she vaguely felt that this message was very important to her.

However, the purple-haired girl doctor shook her head.

"It's still a secret, and I can't tell you yet. I just remind you that if the opportunity really presents itself, then you must firmly grasp it—but don't act too hastily."

Alina frowned again.

"What exactly are you trying to say? Is it related to Shirtel? Are you... are you telling her secret?"

"You can understand it this way, but you can't understand it completely." The girl doctor's words became more and more chaotic and ambiguous. "Then, please keep one thing in mind."

"When you put all your eggs in one basket, if you fail. Often, you don't even have friends to do it."

..............................

Time returns to normal point.

Facing the girl's shark-like bite, Miss Stelter sighed helplessly.Strictly speaking, a bite on this tender body still hurts.However, for this Miss Shirtle, who had a painful experience of being hanged and beaten by various gods in the dream world.If a few bites could eliminate the previous embarrassment, then this deal is an incomparable bargain for her!

She reached out and touched the deer's soft hair.

"I'm sorry," she said—though she didn't quite understand why she was apologizing now.

Then--

She saw Xiao Lu staring at her vigorously for several seconds.He seemed to want to do something but was suddenly discouraged. He retreated to the bed, pulled up the quilt, and covered himself tightly.

And muffled from under the quilt——

"Tell me what happened. The world, the world—tell me what you can tell me."

"Then, let's discuss other issues." - Her voice was muffled by the quilt, and she didn't know what kind of expression the face under the quilt had.However, in any case, such a topic change can be regarded as a good step to resolve the embarrassing situation——

——Since Alina wanted to shelve the previous topic, a certain idiot would naturally muddle along.

So, a certain red-haired thing that even being called an idiot can be regarded as a compliment nodded, after ensuring that his words would not be revealed to more people.She started, explaining from the beginning.

"Well, first of all, let's start with the concept of the dream world..."

...about 10 minutes later...

"...In short, we are going to stay in this different world for the time being. Tallulah's whereabouts are unknown, but I entrusted the singing wind god. As long as he is still in the territory of Mond, he will be able to give me news soon. And If she is not in Mond, at least there will be some clues."

After a long speech, Miss Strutter made a small summary.

"And all we have to do is find her, keep her safe, and make a difference in this land. When I can open the door between the two worlds again. We can return to Terra."

"That's it."

She saw Miss Alina pulled down the quilt a little bit, revealing half of her reddish face.

"Do we have to do something?" Miss Elafia asked in a low voice.

"It'll be faster that way." The red-haired guy shook his head. "According to my judgment, as long as there is a change and an impact, then I can open the door. Theoretically, even if we stay here and do nothing, we can probably open the door after just traveling and exploring for a few years." Open doors. And the more you do, the more impact you have, and the more time you save.”

"Will the location be limited?"

"No." Shirtel continued to shake his head in denial. "I can go back anywhere. In fact, I even suspect that even if we don't go to Tallula. When we can go back, we should be able to take her passively when we set off. But I don't have conclusive evidence. So, I Not going to take that risk."

"So you're going to find her?"

"Well, I'm going to find her." The shaking head monster nodded this time. "Barbatos and I...Wendy have made a contract. If you stay here, you will be under its protection. If I stay here, you will be under its surveillance. If Tallulah's final landing point is not in Mond. Then We will set off to find her together. If she is in a dangerous position, you will be quite safe staying here until I come back."

The deer got up from the bed and folded the quilt.

"So, I'm a hostage?" She opened her eyes wide, looking at the girl with red hair in front of her.

And this conclusion has not been refuted.

"Well, I'm sorry." Shirter didn't avoid her eyes, but nodded directly in agreement—she had already made a mental plan for Alina's forceful request to stay by her side and estimated a rough plan. Program.Anyway, it is not the first time she has done this kind of thing with the boss, she has already prepared the schedule for overtime work.

"Wendy is the God of Wind, he loves this land very much. At the same time, the owner of this Dawn Winery is also a seasoned warrior who is determined to protect Mond——Wendy will definitely disclose my news, or has already disclosed it to him It won't take long before we can become guests of Chenxi Winery. And as long as I don't intervene in Mond's internal affairs or show hostility, then we will always be honored guests."

"But I will respect your opinion..."

"I'll stay." Alina's voice was very decisive.There was also a certain determination in it that Miss Shrter could hear but couldn't see into its specific content. "I will not trouble you, Shrter. Please, as usual, take risks in this world as you like-and bring the little tower back."

The red-haired thing felt wrong—she noticed that Alina didn't seem to be planning to change her address back.

"Are you sure you really want to do this? Alina, I still have one's self-confidence for the time being."

"Well, I'm sure." Alina got up from the bed with a gentle and dignified posture. "Everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at. I am better at talking with paper and pen, needle and thread than taking risks with knives and guns. Renqing is very interested. Presumably when Xiaota comes back, I may not be able to read the books on a shelf."

She smiled at Stuart.

"Please don't worry about me, Shirtel." Then he hesitated a little. "And, uh... you just mentioned, the sword that Yelena brought back from another world. Can you tell me more about the specific situation?"

she said, she asked.Moreover, she does not intend to go back on her word.

........................

Miss Steele left the hotel.

The conversation with Alina made her feel a little confused - she always felt that Alina seemed to be planning something.But after thinking about it for a while, she felt that Alina had nothing to do at all.

Ah, that's right.Alina is too weak...not disparaging, but the truth.This little deer knows neither fighting nor Originium skills.Scientific research, personnel management, organizational operations and other fields are rarely dabbled in. Strictly speaking, except that the eyes are sharper than ordinary people and the mind is a little more careful.Compared with many infected people on the land of Terra, this little deer on the snowfield really has no place to surpass.

She might be a good teacher, or have the ability to boost team morale.But other than that, she is just an ordinary citizen on the land of Terra.

Not great, not bad, just mediocre, so useless.

Hmm... 'useless' might be an overstatement.But if we compare her with a peerless talent like Persephone on the same platform.Then it may be difficult to have a more appropriate evaluation.

but……
