【Original God】I am looking for the flesh and blood of love in time and space

After saying goodbye to everyone in a hurry, the girl was quickly taken away from the scene by Diluc.

So sad……

So cold.

The girl held Diluc's hand tightly.

She felt that the excess ice element in her body was rushing through her body, as if her body was being cut into pieces.

"Your hands are cold."

After Diluc took off his coat and wrapped the girl, Diluc took a deep breath and hugged the girl tightly.

Although she is the holder of the Ice God's Eye, the girl seems to be more afraid of the cold than normal people.

"……I……"

The girl tried to speak, but could only produce a single syllable.

This pain was very familiar, very familiar, as if she had experienced it countless times - but she knew clearly that this was the first time she had experienced such pain since she became conscious.

Did the "rich man" do anything to her?

Or……

In the extreme pain, the Queen's face without joy or sorrow flashed through her mind.

She could even imagine the Queen using divine power to tear her apart with no mercy.

no, I can not……

The girl gritted her teeth, trying to drive that scene out of her mind.

……

"Don't be afraid."

She fell into a fiery embrace, and the moment before she lost consciousness, she saw Diluc's blurred face.

It's cold and it's warm.

It's like struggling on the boundary between life and death, and then sinking.

Diluc hugged the girl and increased the influx of fire elements. A thin layer of sweat broke out on Diluc's forehead. He seemed to be able to feel the pain of his body being torn apart by the ice element——

It doesn't matter, nothing matters.

At this moment, he just wanted to save the girl and his Miss Sidi.

Even if the price is something he can't bear.

After an unknown amount of time, the pain in Diluc's body gradually subsided, and the girl in his arms seemed to be recovering her body temperature little by little.

Diluc, who was still frightened, pressed his forehead against the girl's forehead. He didn't really feel relieved until the girl's body temperature really rose to a normal temperature.

"Go help the lady change her clothes."

Diluc changed out of his sweat-soaked shirt and wanted to go to the guest room to sleep, but he heard the girl's moans, which sounded like pleading and crying.

"Please do not……"

Diluc didn't hear it clearly, but the fragile look on the girl's face that he had never shown hit his heart directly——

It was as fragility as if the mirror was shattered and scattered on the ground. It was the sadness that was not revealed even if it was extremely painful.

Diluc reached out to smooth the ridge between the girl's eyebrows, but the girl grabbed his hand.

"I don't want to...leave..."

All the softness in his heart was rippling as the girl cried like she was pleading. By some strange coincidence, Diluc lay beside the girl again, then stretched out his hand to wrap the girl's slightly trembling body in his arms.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, at least with me, you will have a good dream.

When the girl woke up again, it was already the next day, but she was not in her room.

It was Diluc's room. Both of them had changed their clothes. At this time, Diluc was hugging the girl tightly, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.

"..."

"Don't worry, miss," Diluc seemed to have not yet woken up, his voice was hoarse and tired, "Nothing happened to us."

"It was just yesterday..."

"What happened?"

The girl's eyes were filled with confusion.

Ah, that's right.

Diluc chuckled: "Nothing, miss. How do you feel now?"

"...Yesterday, it was Abedo who chased you out to 'see a doctor' for you."

"Is it some old illness?"

The girl put her forehead on Diluc's chest and recalled it seriously: "...Probably not."

That feeling was so profound. If she experienced it again, she would definitely...

"Don't be afraid, it's over."

Diluc's big hands grasped the back of the girl's head, pressed her into his arms, and then comforted the girl's trembling body.

"……Um."

The girl took a deep breath of Diluc's scent.

Like the sunshine that shines on the first glass of wine in the morning, it is mellow and clear, cold and hot.

"Get up, Abedo said he would come over to check on you this morning."

"You also had an appointment yesterday, right?"

The girl didn't know why, but she was a little reluctant to let go of this embrace, but she still responded softly.

"I'll call the maid."

Diluc took his clothes and left the room, probably going to the guest room to change.

The girl looked at her hands with some sadness.

Why... why is that pain so familiar? She had no doubt that if the pain continued - she would die.

What concerned her more was the constant flash of her mother's face in extreme pain.

Watching her pain indifferently seems to be something a mother can do.

But why, why, is she so sad?

She was like an exquisite rag doll, being played with and dressed by the maid.

"time to eat."

Diluc knocked on the door, his voice so gentle.

"it is good."

The girl brushed her long hair.

Do you want Diluc to do my hair?

Forget it.

Opening the door, the rich fragrance penetrated her nostrils.

"It smells good."

Diluc's face turned slightly red: "Well... it's Mondstadt's past."

Something familiar.

The girl blinked.

"Miss, this is the food cooked by the master himself."

The maid was a good judge of eyes. After saying these words, she immediately stepped aside and hid herself.

"cough……"

The girl's eyes were already filled with smiles, and then she naturally and affectionately took Diluc's hand:

"Let's go."

Not long after I finished eating, Abedo came.

"Don't worry, Master Diluc, I will send the lady back in three hours."

"You don't have to pick it up in person, please feel free to leave it to me."

……

They argued for a while, but ended with Albedo sending the girl back and Diluc knowing the location.

The location was Abbedo Zamond's private residence.

How should I put it? He is indeed an alchemist.

Although Abedo himself does not seem to like luxury, his residence is also very grand and even has a laboratory that is larger than a residential area.

"Does it look new? Because most of the subjects I came here were completed on the snowy mountains."

"This house is certainly convenient, but in terms of cleanliness and materials, it is better on the snowy mountain."

Abedo smiled gently and placed a cup of tea in front of the girl.

"Well, let's get straight to the point, miss."

Abedo sat on the sofa beside the girl, his legs naturally crossed together, his hands intertwined and placed naturally on his knees.

Noble, elegant, and with the wisdom of a scholar.

"I need your help with a project."

"There are issues about - life."

"Of course, you have the right to refuse. Likewise, if you agree, I will pay you."

The girl's eyes are always calm, even confused - this is her confusion about all things. Abedo could easily read the girl's emotions.

"Are you surprised?"

Abedo touched his chin.

"'Life' itself is difficult to touch. Only life created in various forms can be traced. Miss, you are a very special life form. As a scholar, I am very interested."

The girl nodded in understanding: "What do you need me to do?"

"I can take the arm off and give it to you."

"Pfft," Albedo couldn't hold back and laughed, "Miss, she is really... unexpectedly interesting."
