In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

The puppet took the thing, held it in his hand and examined it carefully for a while, then nodded silently and made a judgment.

"It may take a while... But if you're unwilling to devour this umbilical cord, I can devour its function in this spiritual world in another way. It will become a connection between you and your powers, and at the same time, it will promote the fusion of those powers with you."

The doll said, looking at Maria tenderly.

But Maria didn't hesitate at all and just nodded.

"So... you can use it to strengthen my body, right?"

"...That's right, a hunter who is too frank." Helplessly, the puppet looked at Maria in front of him, who was not moved by his words at all, and sighed.

The voice was the same as always, plain yet mixed with a sense of ethereal feeling that did not belong to humans.

"With this umbilical cord, your body will be greatly strengthened... As for what powers will be unlocked within you, we may have to wait and see."

"Then I'll leave it to you..."

Maria did not waste too much time interacting with the other party. After clarifying the function of the umbilical cord, she turned and left.

The puppet was also a little hesitant when he saw Maria leave so decisively.

She actually wanted to say more to Maria.

but……

"..."

Looking at Maria's decisive back as she left, she just remained silent.

Finally, she folded her hands over her belly.

"Good luck, Hunter."

"Um……"

Maria didn't look back, but just made a little nasal sound silently.

Then, he opened the door and left.

But just as she was about to leave, she inexplicably turned around and glanced at the doll.

"I'm glad to see you again."

Having said that, without waiting for the puppet to react, she decisively left this space.

The doll just stood there in a daze, thinking about Maria's last words.

Are you... very happy?

"Humph~"

Unconsciously, the puppet laughed.

"I'm glad to see you again..."

"Shy Hunter~"

Chapter 19 Rhode Island

"Uh huh huh~"

On the flat land, a huge ship is moving.

This action, like sailing on dry land, is just the norm in this world.

Because of natural disasters and the mineral sickness they bring, only a small part of the world is suitable for long-term living, and the vast majority of people live in huge buildings called mobile cities.

They move and transfer within a certain range according to the orders of their leaders, and will evacuate in advance if they encounter natural disasters.

But... obviously, unlike the mobile cities that have their own owners, this city today belongs to a separate organization.

"Ah! It's Sister Kagami!"

The well-behaved girl found her target and ran towards him excitedly. As she moved, the weapons on her back made a rustling sound.

Her energetic voice also attracted several people who were communicating.

The woman whom she called the Big Sister of the God of Fire turned her head helplessly and saw the other party flying towards her.

This made her feel helpless.

On the side, the little rabbit girl was also a little panicked.

After seeing that the other party was simply hugging Operator Vulcan and rubbing against him, he also smiled bitterly.

"Miss Ceobe, please calm down. Miss Kagami seems a little uncomfortable..."

"Ah! It's Amiya!"

At this time, Ceobe also noticed the little rabbit beside her.

Under the horrified gaze of the girl named Amiya, Ceobe excitedly hugged her and spun in circles.

A cheerful, carefree and happy look.

"Really..."

Helplessly looking at Ceope, who was obviously a mature, intellectual and beautiful girl, the God of Fire held his head helplessly.

After seeing the owner of the ship named Rhodes Island, Amiya's eyes almost turned white. She quickly stopped Keobe's actions, turned around, and skillfully took out a honey cake from her pocket.

"Come, stop it, Ceobe, and eat something."

"Great!"

How could the puppy girl think so much? After seeing the familiar combination of biscuits and sweet sauce, she excitedly put down Amiya, turned around and took the biscuits and started to chew them.

At the same time, a happy expression appeared on his face.

The tail shakes rapidly.

The God of Fire on the side looked at this scene and shook his head.

"Ami, are you okay?"

"No...it's okay."

Although she felt a little dizzy, Amiya knew that Ceobe was just a simple Pero girl and meant no harm.

The eyes looking at Ceobe were also full of kindness.

Ceobe...is an operator who joined Rhodes Island a long time ago.

She didn't have much memory about her origins, was simple-minded, and didn't even know her own name. It was only later that people called her Keobe based on the names on each other's weapons.

In fact, the encounter between the other party and Rhodes Island was also a wonderful fate.

A lot of things happened in it.

But as time went by, everyone gradually fell in love with this simple and innocent but big eater girl, and she became a public favorite.

They like to feed each other some delicious food whenever they have time.

Incidentally, Amiya herself seems to be a member of the Rhodes Island public group's darling.

After noticing how much the other person liked to eat honey cakes, she thought for a while, then took out a bunch of sweets from her pocket and approached the other person with a smile.

"Please, Miss Ceobe."

"Well!"

Before she had finished eating the honey cake given by the Goddess of Fire, she saw another delicious food. Without thinking too much, she turned around and excitedly took the sweet from the other person's hand, her face full of happiness.

"Thank you~"

She happily responded to Amiya's kindness.

But in Amiya's hands, the honey cake that should have been Ceobe's favorite was not accepted...

"Four..."

"Eh?" The little rabbit tilted his head.

"Today...I ate four honey cakes!"

The puppy girl responded seriously.

Meanwhile, Amiya was in confusion.

Four pieces...does that mean I only eat four honey cakes every day?

but why?

The little rabbit girl was confused, while the familiar Fire God shook his head.

"Xiao Ke...she seemed to have heard someone say before that she could only eat four honey cakes a day, so she limited herself to a maximum of four honey cakes a day...That person must have been worried that Xiao Ke would get cavities or something, but Xiao Ke insisted that she was obedient and wouldn't eat too many honey cakes, so it was okay."

"what……"

When Amiya heard this, she was also stunned. After a long time, she smiled helplessly.

Obviously, she didn't know what to say about Ceobe's evasive train of thought, but looking at the other person's happy face, she didn't know what to say and just shook her head helplessly.

But... then again.

"Will Miss Ceobe...still listen to others?"

In Amiya's memory, Miss Ceobe was a very free person. She would listen to what others said, but she rarely took it as a rule of conduct for herself.

Temporary orders are fine, but changing someone's habits is basically impossible.

She is such a person, yet she still sticks to the orders given to her by others?

It's rare.

"I'm curious too... but Xiao Ke said she'd forgotten her name, but she still remembered her smell and appearance, as well as the things she taught her. She also heard there was a note she'd left behind... but she accidentally broke it before she could finish understanding it."

When the God of Fire said this, he shrugged helplessly.

And Amiya was also smiling.

Although Miss Ceobe looks like an adult, her mind is actually no different from that of a child.

As for the kind person who took care of her, he probably had some special relationship with Miss Ceobe.

But later we parted ways.

Thinking of this, Amiya also lowered her head with a lost look in her eyes.

When the Vulcan on the side noticed this, he also understood what the other party was thinking, and quickly changed the subject and continued asking questions.

"Let's continue with the previous topic... Miss Amiya, where did you just say we were going next?"

"The next goal..." Hearing the other party bring it up again, Amiya came back to her senses.

Although she seldom thought about this matter, Amiya, the thirteen-year-old girl, did gradually become familiar with and take on the role of leader of the ship called Rhodes Island.

And in response to the question from the God of Fire, she raised her head seriously and spoke with a serious expression.

"Next..."

"We're going to Longmen!"

Chapter 20 Maria is a tsundere

"..."

When Maria woke up again, she was in the crowd.

Around her, many tents had been erected at some point, and the impoverished refugees gathered together, but they seldom spoke, and even their interactions were rare.

Everyone was saving their energy, and there was suspicion and wariness among each other.

Only a few people protect each other in small groups.

Maria sat quietly in it.

She was resting quietly with her back against a huge rock.

Many people noticed her, but no one dared to approach her. They just looked at her exquisite clothes warily.

He doesn't look like an ordinary person.

As for Maria...she was already dumbfounded.
