Rhine Stories

"Here you go, your coffee."

"Thank you!"

Outside the restaurant, the warm sunshine falls on the not-so-spacious street, but a large umbrella is set up in the dining area, which can make people feel at ease to enjoy the scenery not far away.

"Astolfo likes coffee? He should drink less."

Seeing the young man not far away holding the menu with great interest and ordering this and that, Clinesed turned around and looked at the blond girl drawing the outline of the teacup with her hands on the other side, "You and Ziggy too, coffee Drinking too much of this stuff really affects the body."

"We're just drinking in moderation, right?"

In the middle of speaking, Joan smiled at Zieg on the side, then turned to Clinesed and said, "It's you, you really love steak and milk."

"Steak aside, milk is good for any age, Idrinkmilk."

When Kleinshid said this, she picked up the big bottle of milk in front of her and poured a glass for Zigger, and said to him, "Come on Ziggy, I know you won't refuse my kindness. Drinking more milk is good for your body." good."

"Ahaha... Thank you, Sister Kelin, I can't drink anymore so..." At this moment, Zieg's voice sounded unconvinced, but he still didn't really refuse, but just took the milk cup to his side, "Wait I'll drink it in a while, thank you."

"Yeah, the only one who understands my painstaking efforts, Joan of Arc, you should listen to me."

"Me? I listen to you carefully all the time."

At this time, when the topic turned to herself inexplicably, Joan blinked twice in a daze, and then sighed: "It's just that sometimes...you really don't know how to deal with it."

"..."

In an instant, Clinesed seemed to hear the sound of heartbreak, stood up suddenly lost her soul, walked unsteadily to the side and squatted down.

"Ah... Clint, what you said just now doesn't count, it's not my true meaning!"

At this moment, Joan also fully understood that Clinesid was really injured, but she did not leave her seat, but Chigurh stood up a little bit, wanting to comfort this elder sister who was always missed by everyone.

"Anyway, you just don't know the benefits of eating meat. Forget it, one day I will meet someone who can understand me."

At this moment, Clinesed drew circles on the ground, causing Joan to smile wryly, "Actually, it's not that I don't know the saying 'man is iron rice is steel'..."

"Humph……"

At this time, Clinesid thought of the matter of Leticia in her mind, and remembered that every time she was hungry in France, Leticia would cook for her if conditions allowed. After eating the best steak in the world, Leticia's craftsmanship can make Clinesid forget all her troubles.

But such a girl is probably unique in the world... No, everyone is unique in this world, so no one can replace another.

After Clintsid then stood up, she already knew what she was going to face next, and she also told Joan about 'Laidicia' when Zieg and Astolfo were away, That's why she also specifically told her to be especially careful here in Tulifas.

At the same time, Clinesed also gradually recalled the battle in the sea of ​​flames at that time. She felt that there was not only 'Leidicia' on the scene at that time, there should be another person, but no matter how many enemies or where they came from, Clinesed knew that the dead would never come back, so that woman was definitely not Leticia, but a fake.

So the problem was solved, she found a way to sneak into the city of Mirenia, and tried to take the heart without disturbing anyone.

For this reason, Kleinshid also imagined a lot of plans in her heart, trying to be foolproof.

The coffee shop's break soon ended, but when the four of Clinesed were about to go back to the hotel, Joan was stunned for a moment, and found that the small bag she had brought was left behind in the shop, so the four who were supposed to go back together had to go back to the hotel together. After leaving, Zieg proposed to go back to the inn with Joan, while Astolfo and Clinesed went back to the hotel directly.

"Then be careful on the road!"

Sometimes, Kleinshed really envied Astolfo for always smiling, so compared to herself, although she looked like she was in her early 20s, not much older than Ziggy and the others, her old-fashioned temperament had already disappeared. Very obvious.

After all, it is also a non-human being who is hundreds of years old.

"...?"

Just about to turn around and go back to the hotel with Astolfo, but the sudden flock of birds flying in the sky made Kleinshid a little stunned, and suddenly became quiet.

"Clinside?"

Astolfo immediately tilted his head, watching the woman in front of him staring at the sky without saying a word, and after waiting for a long time, he raised his hand and poked her shoulder, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

Clinesed responded immediately, and gave Astolfo a worry-free smile, and when they decided to leave, Clinesed's expression gradually became serious.

——》》

"Great, the money in the bag can cover everyone's expenses for a month."

Back in the coffee shop, Joan of Arc was very thankful that the property was returned to its original owner, and couldn't help holding up the small bag with both hands and stretching it towards the sky.

"It is very good to have it again, Mademoiselle Joan of Arc."

On the side, Zieg also showed a gratified smile, but Joan was really not used to his address at this time.

"Zig, do I usually give you a serious feeling?"

After the blond-haired girl finished speaking, she walked quickly to the boy, put her hands behind her back, turned around and said, "You don't have to be so restrained even if Clinesid and the others are not here. I'm still used to people calling me by my name."

Speaking of this, Joan thought for a while, then tilted her head and said, "But if you don't look at her carefully, you will definitely go to a dangerous place. Sometimes I feel like I'm taking a child with me." .”

"Zhen... Jeanne, do you think sister Kelin is troublesome?"

After finishing speaking, Chieg was actually very surprised that Joan would say so many words when she mentioned Clinesed. After all, they also knew each other a long time ago, and sometimes, not only Zieg, but even Astor It was also difficult for Fu to get into their topic.

"That's not true. In my case, I actually want to help her as much as possible."

At this time, Joan smiled wryly and said, "Clinsed, she never tells anyone what she thinks, maybe we as companions can't help her at all, or..."

—To stay out of danger, one must say nothing.

Thinking of this, Joan looked away silently, and looked at the sky above which was gradually dyed red by the sunset.

""No matter what you want to do, tell me, and you must keep the promise."』

In fact, the reason why Joan of Arc helped Clinesid also had her own reasons.

The family she was born in was actually a very prestigious family in a certain place in France, but in an unknown attack, her parents and relatives were all buried in the sea of ​​fire, and she was therefore alone.

But Joan was sure that it was the people from Heloheim who attacked them that time.

As for the person with the same background as her, there was Astolfo, but he didn't know who the enemy was, but it might also be Heloheim, so Astolfo followed them on the journey—temporarily.

And Zieg in front of him can be said to be a real companion. When Joan of Arc saw him for the first time, the young man fell helplessly in a dark alley and hadn't eaten for several days.If it weren't for Clinesid and herself to take him home immediately, I'm afraid Zigg would die there.

Perhaps, all of this happened so plainly that there is no coincidence at all, but who knows the future, all the consequences will fall on them, on that one person.

"Hey! Are you okay!?"

"Someone take him to the hospital! John, can you hear me? Look at me!"

Suddenly, a voice stunned Joan, and she immediately turned her head and looked over with Zieg.

Right behind them, three people were walking out of the bar with a pale man on their shoulders, followed by the proprietress of this store, she was flustered now, and she couldn't understand that all the other customers drank her wine and it was all right. One guest responded.

"Uh...uh...ahhhhhhhh—"

Even if the man in pain stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, he couldn't hold on in the end, and even vomited black blood uncontrollably, which frightened the pedestrians around him.

"No... Anyway, it would be better to send him to the hospital quickly."

"I'm a doctor, let me see."

……

……

——》》

After a while, the sky darkened, and the vast night sky spread over the sky of Tulifas. There were no stars or clouds, only a yellowish moon, which was eerie and scary.

"Then I'm going to their room, Kleinside, you're going to call me after you take a shower."

Although Joan of Arc spoke the most common words, she could fully see that Clinesid's gaze came back from the window every moment, so Joan of Arc knew that the Burgundian princess wanted to go out alone again.

However, there was nothing Joan could do. Even if she knew what Klinesid was thinking about, she still couldn't stop her.

After all, I don't know that the current Clinesid is not like the Queen of the Netherlands who is deeply in grief of losing her husband and uses all means to take revenge as described in the story.It's just that Joan is very curious about how she fell in love with the dragon-slaying hero and avenged him in the past of Ute's girl.

But asking these questions will only hurt Clinesid's heart.

"Ah."

At this time, Clinesed nodded slightly, watched Joan leave the room, and opened the window.

She felt that since she came to Tulipas, something unexpected happened to her.

The first among them is Danik Preston Yogg Domyrenia. In the accident 200 years ago, Clinesed did not expect that she would make him immortal, so if she had a choice, she would rather It never occurred to Tulipas to try to take Siegfried's heart, but to die with him in front of Fried.

Turning over and jumping down from the window, Clinesed still looked at the sky habitually. To be honest, she didn’t like to act at night, especially now, if she ran into Ladyia again, Clinesed couldn’t guarantee There will be no second fire in Tulifas.

"So where to go... as far as possible away from crowds."

In fact, it's ironic to think about it. 'Before she was alive', she used all people's lives as worthless, just to achieve the purpose of revenge, but now she considers innocent people. Sometimes heroes are so difficult to do.

Ha... what am I thinking?Anyway, no longer seen.

At this moment, Clinesed was heading towards an unknown direction, until a black crow suddenly broke into her line of sight, did not make a sound, did not stop, as if guiding her to a remote town corner, and finally saw her in a narrow alley A figure arrived.

"Uh...cough..."

Although she had heard about Joan of Arc and Chigurh on the road, Clinesed didn't feel that she could see the exact same person, and she couldn't help coughing up black blood and her face turned pale. No matter how she heard it, she was a symptom of poisoning.

"Are you OK?"

At this time, Clinesed looked at the man standing in the dark with his back turned to him. Although he felt that it would be better not to get close, hearing the voice was still a concern.

"Do you need me to call a doctor for you? Are you okay?"

At this time, Clinesed walked towards him step by step, watching the man's shoulders twitching, and then gently placed his hands on his shoulders.

"you--"

Suddenly, in an instant, Clinesed felt an unbearable pain from her arm, and that pain seemed to have torn her flesh, and something sharp bit her elbow in the middle.

"..."

Kleinshid raised her head in a daze, and saw that the man in front of her was completely unrecognizable. He was no longer a human face, but if he had to say what he looked like, it was a crocodile, no, a beast with a long mouth.

"Let... let go!"

Klinesed immediately hit his head hard with his hand, but the monster immediately bit off her arm as if knowing it, making Klinesed lose consciousness all of a sudden, but the golden pupils called out Lost the bestiality, began to look around for weapons in a hurry.

However, in the narrow corridor, no one passed by inside or outside, and there are stone walls on the left and right sides. If it weren't for the full-bodied Clinesed, she really wouldn't be able to destroy it now.

"Ugh..."

And what made Clinesid even more surprised was that her healing ability didn't work at this time, so the only thing she could do was stretch out her other hand to break it open, even though the monster was still gnawing on her wound , Clinesed has gradually lost her mind and is desperately trying.

"Ahh-!"

But before he could move a millimeter, the monster bit his upper arm again, and threw himself against the wall, without any fulcrum for struggling.

If this continues, she will really be bitten to death by him, and she must not fall down in such a place.

"Bastard... bastard——!!!"

Suddenly, Clinesed took aim at the timing and kicked the monster hard in the stomach, causing him to fall down, but his entire arm was also severed.

"Ah... ah ah..."

As soon as Clinesed landed on the ground, she didn't care about the pain, and immediately jumped on the monster's body, stepped on his head with her feet, and got her body, legs, and one hand into the monster's mouth, Then with all his strength, he opened his mouth to an unbearable distance.

"——!!!"

The monster suddenly let out an indescribable scream, and this sound attracted the attention of the Yogdomirenia guards. Maybe when they came here, they would all be startled by the bloody scene in front of them.

"...ah...ah..."

In the end, Clinesed broke off the monster's jaw, only to see black blood sprayed on her body at once. The black-haired woman was bloody all over her body, and there was no wound on her body.

But fortunately, the monster was finally killed. It's just that Clinesed lost so much blood at once, and if he didn't recover quickly, he wouldn't even be able to walk.

"who!!"

"..."

But this time, Clinesed really couldn't escape, and when the light in the guard's hand came on, Clinesed only remembered that she took a step back, left a word and then lost consciousness.

"Yug Domirenia..."
