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

Texas felt like he had lost a large part of his memory...

When she woke up again, she was back in the room that was still somewhat unfamiliar to her.

I was lying on the soft bed, and outside, sunlight was shining into the room.

"Am I... back?"

The little girl was still a little dazed, but soon, the memories that flooded her mind made her body tremble uncontrollably.

She looked at her hands hesitantly, her face pale.

She could hardly imagine the state she had displayed when fighting with Lappland before.

I really wanted to kill Lappland at that time!

Even now, she could feel the restless desire surging in her mind.

She still felt her throat was extremely dry, her muscles were itching and trembling, and every nerve in her body was rehearsing the scene of her own fighting...

And every time she simulated a scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, she could feel a strong sense of satisfaction.

My body... seemed to be undergoing a transformation beyond my control, roaring madly, longing...

This is not me!

For the first time, Celinina felt something was wrong with her...

She was sure that this kind of thinking would never have occurred to her in the past.

has a problem……

There is definitely something wrong!

Almost uncontrollably, the girl connected all this with Maria.

You know, she has undergone various high-pressure training in the past, some of which are too terrifying even by adult standards.

But she was able to remain calm and conscious from beginning to end.

But... she couldn't feel any of this during the battle with Lappland...

She felt like a wild beast, her entire body taken over by another will, leading her to do things that terrified her.

This was not some mental change caused by a long period of accumulated stress, but something that suddenly appeared in the girl.

The only difference between this period and the past... is that I have accepted Maria's weird training.

Beating someone to death, and then resurrecting them using weird Originium techniques that he couldn't understand at all... What kind of consequences would this bring?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that some things were beyond her understanding.

A sense of fear for Maria arose spontaneously.

Almost for the first time in her life, she wanted to escape.

The icy coldness almost seeped into her bones. She felt as if countless things that did not belong to her were inserted into her flesh and blood. They were beating, and every movement was an abnormal touch to her body...

They... are devouring their own original bodies.

What will happen?

What will happen to them?

Will my body be completely parasitized by these things? How long can my mind remain intact? Am I... still Celinina?

Dragging her tired body, she struggled to get up from the bed.

And just when she was thinking about what to do next.

The black figure quietly walked to her side...

"you're awake?"

"Ugh?!"

When she suddenly heard this cold female voice, Celinina felt sick all over.

She turned her head instantly.

Then he saw the cold and familiar woman standing beside him.

But what made Celinina feel uncomfortable was.

Although he had already been sufficiently vigilant towards Maria.

But when she really saw this woman who was as beautiful as a flower under the moon, she felt an indescribable peace.

That gentle breath, those soft cheeks, those eyes that are not gentle but reassuring...

And those cool fingers that gently touched me, with a hint of coolness...

All of this made her feel comfortable and happy.

"... Maria... Lady..."

Cellinina murmured, looking at the woman in front of her, and for a moment, her voice was choked.

It was as if all his problems had come to an end after the woman in front of him appeared...

This kind of thinking seemed too strange even to her.

It was clearly her who caused all of this, and the peace of mind she gave him now was also given to him...

All this...what is going on?

"..."

Maria didn't say anything, but just looked at the frightened girl in front of her silently. After a moment of silence, she did something she would never do before.

She... gently hugged the girl...

"Are you scared, girl?"

"Woo..."

"Don't be afraid, girl, I'm right here..."

Maria spoke softly, her gentle hands gently weaving through the girl's hair, teasing the girl's head.

Gentle pressure is like a comfortable massage, gradually reducing the other person's inner vigilance.

And her voice was indeed like magic, slowly soothing the girl's fear...

She really was like a fragile puppy, lying gently in Maria's arms, enjoying this strange but reassuring feeling of comfort.

At the door, Lappland held her head in her hands, looking at the scene in the room...

She curled her lips, said nothing, turned her head, and left on her own.

……

After more than ten minutes of comforting her, Cellinina's emotions gradually stabilized.

But she still lay in Maria's arms, taking the opportunity to enjoy the tenderness she had never experienced before.

This feeling reminded her of her mother for a moment.

At a very young age, she was treated as the heir and began to endure the scalp-numbing and harsh training.

At that time, her mind was not strong enough. Facing her father and grandfather who were never satisfied, as well as those teachers, she always forced herself to continue training, until her hands were torn and blood flowed on her palms, and she kept her brain working at a high intensity at all times to absorb knowledge that was too profound for her.

And on those nights when I couldn't fall asleep, my mother would always come quietly to my room, hold me in her arms, and hum songs to me in my dreams that I couldn't understand...

For little Celinina, it was her only safe haven and the only place where she could rest...

And Maria now gave her this feeling.

A rare feeling... called relaxation...

"Mother……"

"Ok?"

Just as Cellinina uncontrollably called out the figure of the person she missed, Maria also heard it.

This made Maria look at the girl in front of her with some confusion.

Do I... look a lot like her mother?

And when Celinina came to her senses and realized what she had just shouted, her face suddenly turned red.

"No... no... I'm not..."

The girl was about to explain when Maria's voice sounded calmly again.

"I don't mind these..."

She reached out her hand and slowly hugged the girl tighter to her.

The gentle, sweet incense scent, accompanied by a strong stimulation, flooded the girl's brain. Especially after she felt her face rubbing against the heart-warming softness, she felt her breathing become a little rapid.

She felt that the person in front of her was not a stranger, but... a woman!

A woman who is between mother and daughter and can make her feel at ease!

What are you thinking about! Cellinina!?!

"It's just that I can't replace your mother... But if you just want a moment of peace, maybe I can give it to you..."

"As long as you don't mind."

Maria caressed the girl's back with her hands.

Her voice was very soft, and the warm air flow slowly into the girl's ears, caressing every inch of her sensitive nerves.

The slender finger bones just slid lightly across the girl's spine, causing her whole body to tingle and tremble.

A unique sense of comfort almost penetrated her nerves!

This caused Celinina's body to tremble uncontrollably.

My eyes gradually became blurred.

She was somewhat addicted to this feeling...

However, when Celinina felt some different touch

Maria was quietly using her strength to touch the girl's body.

I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing abnormal with her body.

After letting the girl relax for a while, she reached out and took the girl out of her arms.

At this moment, Celinina's face was flushed, and she seemed a little shy...

However, Maria did not allow such a strange emotion to spread. After patting the girl's shoulder gently, she stood up.

"Get up first, girl, you will have a companion next."

"companion?"

Cellinina was stunned for a few moments.

She didn't understand what Maria meant by companions, but when she saw Maria had stood up and was about to leave, she also supported herself, got up, and followed her.

And soon, she knew who the companion Maria was talking about was...

"Hey~ Are you awake?"

Now, there is an uninvited guest in the training ground where she and Maria are training.

Laplande Saluzzo.

This girl, who for some reason had always wanted to fight with him, had been here for who knows how long. She was wearing a light training suit and had three bottles of the bright red potion that he had used before on her belt.

this? !

"From today on, she'll be studying with you, girl."

Maria didn't explain too much about her choice. She just took out a bottle of blood-red potion from her waist and handed it to Texas.

Seeing the bottle in her hand and then looking at the three bottles on Lappland, Cellinina showed a look of understanding... After all, she had been training for much longer than the other party.

There is no need for so many medicines.

Lappland, on the other hand, frowned slightly.

But she didn't say much.
