Chapter 10 Boys and girls and white flowers-10

It was very sudden to hear an ugly cry that seemed to tear apart the forest. [っ………..! ] Kuras stopped, and Arias, who was running almost with inertia, bumped into Kuras' shoulder, running a little in front of Kuras. The reason Alies didn't apologize was because Alies also stared at the depths of the forest motionlessly. The sharp cry was like that of a chicken being strangled. "Is it the sound of birds?" Just when Kuras was thinking that way, the same cry came again, and the sound of flapping wings. [……..bird? ] Kuras finally endured not to be scared off on the spot, muttering as if asking himself.

Aliice made a frightened expression as if she wanted to plug her ears with her hands. Then, because the sound of flapping wings was heard again, Kuras was sure it was a bird. [Ariels, it's okay, it's just a bird. ] [….is… is it a bird? ] The reason for the doubtful look is probably because even I don't know any bird that can make that sound. Kuras had seen several times such a big bird that it looked like it could carry a baby. "It must be the same kind" because Kulas said confidently, [Yes. ] After Arias replied like that, Kuras held Arie again. hand. [Compared to that, if you don't catch up with Miss Heluo soon...]

After saying that, Kuras turned his eyes to the front and stopped the foot that was about to step forward. Because Kuras saw the front end of the road climbing up a slightly curved slope on the right, He Luo stopped here with his back turned. It didn't look like they were waiting for Kuras and Arias to catch up. With her back turned to her, He Luo didn't know why Kuras always felt that her head was buried, but her ears turned around more sensitively than a rabbit. [Miss Heluo——] At the same time that Kuras himself didn't know whether he was going to continue talking, Heluo suddenly turned to this side.

At the moment of thinking like that, Kulas immediately noticed that Heluo's eyes were looking farther away than Kulas. It was on the opposite side of the road that Kuras and the others ran over. If you look at the front of the road with restless eyes, there is only one thing you are looking at. Kulas swallowed a mouthful of saliva, watching Heluo's actions, and Heluo who slyly walked down the slope in the direction of Kulas still said while looking in that direction: [The pursuers don't seem to be catching up. ] [Eh. ] Although he looked back towards He Luo's face because it was too sudden, He Luo's consciousness was still directed towards the distance.

[Is there any attempt?still………] [Yes, is it because I got lost. ] [maybe.Let's take a look. ] After finishing speaking, a smile appeared on He Luo's face who finally took a look at Kuras. [You two can take a break.Because no matter which way is too forced, it will be dangerous.Don't be afraid we will be back soon. ] After He Luo finished speaking one-sidedly, she lightly patted Kuras on the shoulder and walked back towards the road she came from. Of course, it is impossible to stop He Luo now, and Kuras has been watching He Luo's back until he disappeared into the forest.Although I was thinking "Is He Luo okay alone?", but I was still afraid as if He Luo had seen through it.

. However, as soon as Kuras was thinking "I'm thankful to be able to rest", he turned to Arias, and Kuras opened his eyes wide and cried out. [Wow, ah, Aliice! ] Kuras managed to hug Arias who fell down as if her nervous nerves had been severed, while being careful not to fall backwards.Aliice's breathing was neither chaotic nor calm, and she closed her eyes exhausted. Kulas recalled that a few days ago, although Aliice was very tired, she still reluctantly continued on the road, and finally passed out in the middle of the road.The horror at that time felt like Kuras had been frozen when he thought of it now.

. Kuras stared at the face of Alies who was hugged in his arms, and heard a faint sound like "water" from Alies. [water?Wait, wait a minute. ] While supporting Alies with one hand, Kulas put down the luggage on his back and violently untied the leather bag tied to the side.Although there was not much water left in the leather bag, Kuras still placed the bottle near Alies' mouth without hesitation. Although Arias still didn't open her eyes, she probably opened her mouth slightly because she sensed the mouth of the bottle, and Kuras carefully fed Arias with water. Perhaps it was because of being too thirsty, although Alies seemed to have choked on the water, but after a while Alies drank the water as if inhaling.

Because he didn't know when to stop pouring water, Kuras picked up the leather bag only a few moments after Alies closed his mouth, so the water overflowed.Even though Alies' chin and clothes were wet, Alies wasn't angry or surprised, Only the corner of his mouth showed a smile to Kuras. [Feeling worse? ] After Kuras asked, Arias shook her head. Seeing that Arias' complexion didn't get any worse, Kulas basically believed it. Perhaps it was because she calmed down somewhat after drinking water, and Aliice's breathing gradually became steady. "I'll sleep like this," Kuras was thinking, but Arias moved slightly and grabbed Kuras' right hand with her left hand.

Alice still had her eyes closed. After Kuras held Aliesi's light and unreliable hands that seemed to be made of cork, Ariece finally opened her eyes slightly and showed a faint smile. That smile is like a smile that emits a faint phosphorescence like reassurance. The moment he saw Aliice's smile, Kuras's chest boiled like pain. The moment Kuras was about to say a certain word from the bottom of his heart when he was unconscious, Arias let out a breath like a slight sigh. After realizing that it was Arias who was yawning, Kuras recovered himself, his tense face eased and he said:

[What's wrong, do you want to sleep? ] Hearing Kuras ask that with a smile, Arias felt a little shy. Pucker up your lips a little. [It would be nice if I could get some sleep. ] Kulas wiped the water droplets while supporting Aliesi's chin, and said as if talking to himself. As long as Aliice can sleep a little, it can greatly relieve fatigue. Although she knew that even if she didn't say that, the Sandman would definitely not let Ariece go, but Ariece nodded honestly after a while. Afterwards, when Kuras was about to change into a relaxed position, Arias had already fallen asleep.

Arias' soft body sank into Kuras' arms. In terms of height, Alies is slightly taller, although he may be overwhelmed by Alies, but Kuras tried his best to avoid this from happening. Although Kuras would like to let Aliice sleep soundly like this if possible, but that is impossible after all.At least if He Luo can come back a little later. Having said that, in Kulas's heart, he also hoped that He Luo would come back sooner. It was dark and quiet in the forest. What if He Luo doesn't come back like this, Kulas began to feel uneasy.Of course, Kuras also understands that even feeling uneasy won't help. So mere words of fear are useless. Kuras shook his head to drive those nasty thoughts out of his mind, and took a deep breath as if to cheer himself up. Even if you can drive anxiety out of your brain, you cannot escape from the imminent crises. Even the leather bag that had been thrown aside after feeding Ariais was limp because of the lack of water. If you don't find a place to get some water, if you go camping again, you may not be able to sleep because of thirst. And thinking of the water problem, Kuras also felt thirsty. Seeing Arias sleeping soundly like a bunny in his wrist, Kuras thought for a while. On the way here, he and Aris jumped over a lot of water.Look around here, maybe you'll find the water soon, or maybe not. Kuras couldn't help but want to act. Although he couldn't bear to let go of Aliice's little hand that looked like freshly baked bread, Kuras still untied Aliice's hand slowly and then let go of her hand.In order to support her shoulders, Kuras carefully attached the luggage to it. Not to say that there is no guilt, but those small guilt can't overcome the feeling of thirst. After confirming that Alies was still sleeping obediently, Kuras stood up with the leather bag in his hand. Kuras felt like his throat was on fire. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva that didn't exist, he drank cold water in his imagination. Kuras looked around, looking for any plants that looked good. Because he couldn't stay too far away from Alies, he looked around as if drawing a circle, and Kulas quickly found the target. There was a huge tree a little farther away from Alies, covered with green moss, behind the tree Kuras found a small stream. But such a small amount of water, which seemed to seep out, was not enough to fill the leather bag, even to drink. After a little hesitation, Kurasi walked towards the direction of the water. The water slowly flowed down the slope, and the road was not that difficult to walk. While being careful not to slip and fall due to stepping on the moss, Kuras walked down, and soon came to a small cliff. Looking down, instead of cheering, Kulas kept looking around in order to go down quickly. Under the cliff, which is not as high as Kuras itself, perhaps because of the concentration of water seeping from various places, a large pool was formed. The water is very clear and the bottom of the pool seems to be sandy. While suppressing his anxious mood, Kuras used his hands to pull the grass and walked down the cliff, and suddenly found that there were more stones and rocks, and he approached the pool while paying attention to his feet. The place where Kuras looked down at the pool from above just now is just above the cave, and the pool extends all the way into the cave. The entrance of the cave was very narrow, even if Kuras bent down, he couldn't get in, and he didn't know where it would lead. But it was the water in the pool that Kuras cared about. Talking about the cleanliness of the water was enough to make his eyes shine. Kuras immediately knelt by the pool and took a sip. Even Kuras himself didn't know how to express the joy after drinking the water. Because the pool water was refreshing and cold, Kulas kept drinking it. Kulas didn't raise his face until he was out of breath after drinking, and let out a long sigh of relief after hiccupping. It was as cold as well water in winter. Small fish that seemed to be completely unaware of the existence of Kouras were swimming freely in the pool.The gracefully swimming little fish lingered in the center of the pool for a while and then swam into the hole. After solving his thirst problem, Kulas stared blankly at the figure of the little fish, immersed in a feeling of relieved satisfaction. Later, when he suddenly recovered himself, Kuras realized that Shima had fallen asleep just now, wiped the corners of his mouth in a panic, and then knocked himself on the head. If he fell asleep in a place like this, he would definitely be scolded by Holo when he returned. Kuras quickly filled the leather bag with water, and hung the leather bag on his waist. Then, Kuras bent down in order to take another sip of the pool water, and at this moment. [? 】 General Kuras felt that someone looked at him from somewhere. "Could it be that Holo came looking for me when she found out that she wasn't by Aliese's side?" Kulas was thinking like that while looking around again, but he didn't find Holo's figure. Although tall grass grows around the pool, the view is not that bad. There is no place to hide nearby, but the owner of the line of sight cannot be seen. [Psychological effect? 】 Kulas muttered half to himself. Although he was still very concerned about what was behind him, Kulas still turned back to the direction of the pool. As soon as he turned back, Kulas found some kind of animal trying to drink quietly. Clear pool water. An animal stood silently on the left side of the pool extending semicircularly from the cave. 【…】 Looking at himself without moving, it was a deer with spots on its body that hadn't disappeared. "Is it because of the protective color that resembles the cliff that I didn't notice it?" Although Kulas thought that way, he clearly came to the conclusion "there is no deer there" in his brain. No matter how terrible things can happen in the forest, Kuras recalled a rather terrible thing. However, Xiaolu will not transform into a monster, and the reason why he keeps looking at him may be because he is very curious when he meets a human for the first time. Kuras looked at the deer as if he was peeping, and quickly finished drinking the water and stood up. The deer didn't show any signs of wanting to escape. Although it looked like a very cute fawn no matter what, but being watched by the motionless fawn with its pair of black eyes, for some reason, Kuras felt the slightest chill on his back. Of course, the fawn just stared at him motionlessly, and didn't show his sharp teeth to attack him, so there was no need to be afraid.Kulas said to himself in his heart, while quickly turned around and ran as if to escape. Although he kept looking back and held the stupid delusion of "are you being chased?", his legs were indeed speeding up. Even though it wasn't very far away, Kuras still felt relieved when he reached Alies' side. Even Kuras himself didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune to have Holo appearing beside Alies. [Your expression seems to be saying "I saw a monster in the forest"] 【……】 Seeing Holo's teasing smile, although he felt a little angry, but as expected, just seeing that smile relieved his uneasiness. [I came back from fetching water. 】 【Well, is that so. 】 Holo replied simply, while playing with the hair of Aris who was sleeping soundly. Doing that would wake Alies up, and Kura was constantly tormented by two completely different feelings of wanting to blame Holo and always wanting to see Holo's beautiful fingers playing with Alies' dry front hair. s. [….Will you not give it to us? 】 【Eh? 】 Suddenly being asked that way by Holo, Kuras replied to himself.Holo narrowed her eyes a little, tilted her neck and said to Kuras again: 【Don't give us water? 】 [Ah, yes, yes. 】 Kuras, who didn't even have time to sit down, stood there blankly, and hurriedly handed the leather bag to Holo. Of course, Holo didn't miss Kuras' appearance. 【Do you want to drink too? 】 Facing Holo's white teeth wet with water, squinting and smiling Holo's face, Kuras swallowed his saliva involuntarily. Of course, Kuras couldn't nod even if he bet on his manliness. [Compared to that, how about the pursuers. 】 After sitting down a little away from Holo, Kuras asked in a strong tone. One is because he was a little angry after being teased by Holo, and the other is because if he doesn't use a strong tone to ask, he always feels that he will use a very weak wording. Regarding Kuras's question, Holo, whose ears twitched two or three times, looked in the leather bag and said with a laugh: 【Yes. 】 【there is none left. 】 【Eh,】 【there is none left. 】 After considering the meaning of Holo's words for a while, Kuras realized that the facts referred to by Shima-Hero's words couldn't be more simple. Kuras said again in a surprised voice: 【What I'm asking is, that, we......】 [Although it's still a little early to say "I'm saved", at least I won't be caught right now. 】 After Kuras let out a breath that he didn't know whether it was a sigh or something else, he relaxed his tense shoulders. It's like a stick that supports my hard work is broken. Holo looked at Kuras like that, and laughed silently. However, the expression of Holo who was smiling while gently stroking Alies' cheek was not a smile that teased Kuras, but a gentle smile that seemed to praise Kuras. [Then again, some guys are walking outside the forest, so I can't be completely relieved yet.First of all, we have to reach the city ahead of them. 】 Holo didn't realize that what she said was comforting words. Kulas believed that sentence from the bottom of his heart and nodded, moving his cold and stiff feet. 【Do you want to take a break?Because the two of you have already left quite reluctantly. 】 【Yes. 】 Kuras said that with a yawn. Holo laughed as if taken aback, rubbed her nose, stood up, walked over to Kuras and sat down. [Don't be so wary. 】 Facing Holo's expression of "hehe" laughing from deep in his throat, even if Holo said that, Kuras couldn't help but look at her with distrust. Of course it wasn't because he was afraid of Holo, [Hey] The moment Kuras heard the pronunciation of the island, his head was already on Holo's lap. Like some kind of magic trick, it must be like that.Kuras believed that in his heart. If he wanted to say why, it was because his face was obviously flushed with embarrassment, but he didn't have the courage to stand up from Holo. [If you sleep for a while, you will recover some of your strength, it's not too far away, it's best to sleep for a while. 】 Being stroked by Holo on the head, the itchy feeling from the back of the neck made Kuras feel very comfortable. Moreover, Holo's words were also a good excuse for Kuras. Kuras nodded on Holo's lap, but stopped midway. The reason it stopped midway was because of what Holo said next. 【Depending on the situation, you may also have to carry the exhausted Alies. 】 Waking up after hearing the name of Shima Arias, Kuras shifted his gaze to Arias. Arias's left hand, which changed from an uneasy expression to a reassuring smile after grabbing Kuras's hand, is now slightly closed, but it is not holding anything. The current Arias must have held Kuras's hand tightly in her dream. As soon as he thought about that, Kuras felt that sleeping on Holo's lap in front of such Arias was really not good. So, Kuras was about to look up. But it couldn't have been Holo's hand that had stopped him. […..Really.You are an honest male. 】 Kuras lifted half of his head, and Holo rested her elbow on his temple and rested his chin on both hands. Half surprised, half angry, but also a little bit regretful, he wanted to move Holo's elbow away, but Holo pressed his elbow hard, and Kuras had to give up in the end. [In this case, maybe we don't need to do this or that. 】 【Eh? 】 【nothing.We are talking to ourselves.And compared to that. 】 Holo moved her elbow away as she spoke.Just when Kuras was about to raise his face to show an expression that seemed to say "Ah, ah," Holo said: [Are we really unwilling to admit defeat? 】 Between the newly raised face and Holo's knees, Kuras felt something restless. Kuras didn't even have time to think about what Holo was going to do this time. I felt the itchy and dry feeling of my ears and cheeks, and the thick body fragrance emanating from Holo's body. Horona's floppy tail rested right under her face. 【So you can still lift your face.】 Kuras felt that the so-called "irresistible charm" must be referring to the feeling brought by Holo's warm tail under the cheek. And Holo's hand began to caress Kuras's head. I have no reason to resist at all. Kuras lost his strength from the neck down and had to force-land his head on Holo's tail. [That's what we're talking about. 】 Hearing Hero's proud words, Aliice's sleeping posture appeared in front of Kuras' line of sight. [Don't worry.We will wake you up before Aliice wakes up. 】 For some reason, Kuras suddenly felt very dirty and felt sad, but the saddest thing for him was the fact that he really felt relieved after hearing Holo's words. Holo's tone of voice was mixed and there was a hint of teasing in it, but Kuras didn't think she was lying. . [You can treat each other gently only when you feel a little guilty. 】 【Eh…….】 Kuras considered for a moment the meaning of Holo's words. Holo calls herself The Wise Wolf. Kuras thinks that should be true. "After waking up, treat Aris gently." After making excuses in his mind, Kuras realized that he would be able to sleep well if he was on Holo's tail. In a short period of time after that, Kuras fell asleep. 【Then, next...】 He noticed that Holo seemed to be talking to himself. However, "whether that was a dream when I just fell asleep" did not figure it out until the end.
