Get ready and kill them

The pink-haired girl suddenly opening her eyes startled Alice slightly.

Along with the surprise came shock.

Her eyes were a rare pink crystal color, veiled with a misty, watery sheen.

As she straightened up, the shoulder strap of her thin dress slipped down halfway, revealing faint red marks on her rounded shoulders.

Alice’s lips, which had been chatting ‘baa baa baa,’ instantly pressed together, and she hurriedly turned her face away, her ear tips burning hot.

The steam from the water in the wooden cup swirled, blurring her vision, yet she could still smell the cold fragrance emanating from the other person.

The scent was like lily of the valley blooming in the snow, mixed with a faint hint of blood.

She then noticed the unhealed abrasions on the girl’s ankle. On her jade-like skin, they were as conspicuous as red plums falling on snow.

“Via! Do you have any bandages or anything? No, wait, can herbs be ground up to heal wounds!?”

“Wounds?”

Livia also recovered from her shock at seeing the pink-haired girl and noticed the abrasion.

Hiss.

She felt a phantom pain in her calf.

“I have potions,” Livia quickly lifted her long skirt, pulled out a liquid in a long, thin bottle, and handed it over.

“Here, just carefully pour it onto the wound.”

“Eek~”

Alice took it with a look of disgust, stroked the slightly warm bottle, and teasingly raised an eyebrow at the little white ball, “Where did you stuff it~?”

“Hey! Can you be serious!”

“Oh dear, Lao Li, what are you thinking~ You’re the one who’s not being serious~”

“Damn it…”

Livia cursed herself for instantly understanding Big Thunder Girl’s meaning, stomping her foot, “Of course, I tied it to the inside of my thigh!”

“Hahaha,” Alice couldn’t help but pat her plump thigh, “I’m tying my sword to my thigh, Lao Li, have you been watching too many anime?”

“Hiss, I really want to…!”

Livia tightly clenched her small fists, her brow furrowed.

This good brother of hers was truly a classic tsundere!

Damn, when will someone come to teach her a lesson!

“Because I was afraid of losing it, of it falling off! Keeping it close is the safest! Don’t you understand, you little trash.”

“Why would you lose it? Don’t you have a small satchel hanging from your waist? It looks quite sturdy.”

“…”

Livia suddenly lowered her eyes, as if remembering something, her expression becoming somewhat sad.

Seeing this, Alice immediately withdrew her smile and awkwardly twirled a strand of her golden hair.

“Sigh, I, I, I was just kidding, I, I, I won’t, laugh at you, um, it’s good to be prepared, keeping it close is the safest!”

As she said this, she had already fed half of the warm water from the wooden cup to the pink-haired girl. Then, blinking nervously, she asked, “How is it? Do you feel better?”

“Much better… Thank you. You are…?”

The pink-haired girl blinked her pink eyes weakly, then looked over.

Her eyes were rippling with a clear green hue, like the clearest lake water in spring, radiating a gentle glow.

“Did you save me?”

The girl’s voice was soft and pleasant, with a subtle tremor.

“I, I just happened to be passing by…”

Alice averted her gaze, her ear tips slightly warm.

“Thank you anyway. If I had encountered a bad person, I might…”

The pink-haired girl lowered her eyes, tidied her messy pink hair, and regained her composure, “Excuse me, where is this?”

“I think it’s called… called…”

“Elton.”

“Ah, ah, yes, Elton town!”

Alice exclaimed, clapping her hands as if she couldn’t remember reciting homework, like a classmate whispering hints to her.

Then, she looked expectantly at the pink-haired girl.

“So, what’s your name? And why did you faint in a place like that?”

“My name is…”

The pink-haired girl took the wooden cup, her fingertips accidentally brushing against Alice’s hand, “I forgot~”

She lowered her head and sipped the warm water, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her lips.

“I don’t know what happened either. My memory has become very blurry. I think I was somewhere very far away, and a white light suddenly appeared before my eyes, and then I fainted.”

“Hiss, somewhere very far away, and you inexplicably came here and fainted…?”

Alice mused, crossing her arms.

The experience of the girl before her was somewhat similar to hers. She was in her bed in the Duke’s mansion, uh… it was as if she was grabbed and thrown around, and then appeared on the streets of Elton.

“So, did anything happen before? When, what month and day, did you feel that white light?!”

Alice asked anxiously. Perhaps through this pink-haired girl, she could uncover the secrets surrounding herself.

“What date? It was probably the second. It seems I was just walking, and then I was inexplicably swallowed by a white light.”

“I see, you’ve been unconscious for a day…”

Sooner than herself.

Alice stroked her chin.

It seemed that the girl’s sudden appearance had nothing to do with her. That was strange. Inferring the process from the result, both she and the girl were likely affected by spatial magic to appear here.

“Lao Li, do you have any clues?”

Alice was so worried she was about to wear down her chin, “There aren’t any Seven-Day Idols in the other world, are there? Something that can allow people to travel freely?”

“OP, tone down the fanboyism.”

Livia rolled her eyes.

While Alice was conversing with the pink-haired girl, she herself was listening and thinking.

That pink-haired girl was a bit strange.

Livia couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was strange.

‘Somewhere very far away.’

A normal person, upon learning they were in Elton town now, wouldn’t refer to their previous location as “somewhere very far away,” but would instead state a specific place name.

However, it was understandable. Just not remembering her own name… well, at least the other party wouldn’t harm her. Otherwise, after waking up, she should have squeezed Livia and Alice like little chicks and crushed them to death.

The key was the light. That light and her sudden appearance undoubtedly indicated teleportation. What connection could there be between her and Alice before that?

Just as Livia was racking her brain.

By the bed, the silver-haired elder sister’s eyelashes fluttered.

Her silver eyes regained their luster, like cold stars in winter. She glanced sideways, seemingly without needing time to comprehend the situation, and said faintly, “Thank you for your care.”

“Ah, you’re awake too? I thought you might have hit your head and become silly. It’s good that you can talk, it’s good that you can talk~ How are you feeling? Those wounds should heal quickly.”

Livia handed her the cup with the remaining half of the water she had also given to her. The latter steadily caught it and drank it all, then seemed about to get up.

“Thanks, I’ll be going now.”

“Wait!”

Livia quickly stopped her, “You fainted on the mountain, and your body hasn’t fully recovered. Rest a bit longer. I’ll get you something to eat, and also, I have a few questions for you.”

The silver-haired elder sister frowned slightly, but upon seeing Livia’s insistent gaze, she nodded, “Ask.”

“Uh, do you know her…?”

Since the pink-haired girl had already recounted her general experience, all Livia needed to confirm was whether they were together to get most of the answers.

“Tsk.”

The silver-haired elder sister frowned and glanced at the pink-haired girl, then nodded faintly, as if acknowledging it.

Following this, Livia’s tense gaze relaxed slightly.

Good, things hadn’t escalated into a more complicated situation. The two of them were together, appearing like a knight and her young lady.

“Speaking of which, did you perhaps experience combat?”

As Livia said this, she bent down and retrieved the broken sword from under the bed, “Is this your sword?”

“…”

The silver-haired elder sister’s brow furrowed noticeably. She didn’t answer Livia but instead looked at the pink-haired girl.

A second later, the pink-haired girl scratched her head and said with an embarrassed smile, “Yes, she is. She and I were surrounded by monsters. We thought we were going to die, but then we fainted and ended up here.”

“I see…”

Livia’s gaze remained fixed on the silver-haired elder sister as she continued to ask.

“So, do you remember your name, and what are your plans now?”

“Forgot, don’t know.”

“Uh.”

Seeing that the ice-beauty, like the pink-haired girl, was clueless about everything, Livia scratched her white hair, feeling an itch in her head.

They had experienced combat with monsters.

Could these people have encountered goblins like herself? No, no, from her words, they had encountered them in a place very far away.

They couldn’t possibly have been killed and then inexplicably rewound like herself. The memory loss was clearly a bodily protective mechanism triggered by shock. Sigh, it was too complicated.

As questions arose like bubbles…

‘Gulp.’

It started with just one sound, but like falling dominoes, all three of them felt their stomachs rumble.

Let’s eat first…

Livia rubbed her stomach awkwardly and beckoned to Alice, “Let’s go, Lao Ai. We’re all hungry. Let’s go to the pier and get some fries.”

“Alright!”

Alice jumped up from the edge of the bed, while the pink-haired girl tilted her head, “The pier? Does Elton town have a pier?”

“Hahaha, just saying it casually, just saying it casually~!”

As Livia and Alice turned around, joking, they didn’t notice the two gazes behind them.

A playful glint flashed in the girl’s pink eyes, while the silver-haired elder sister’s silver eyes narrowed thoughtfully.

“Flora, can you chant now? Prepare yourself, we’ll kill them later.”
