Because it was an unfamiliar new face, he easily remembered the identity of this girl, who was brought back from the mountains by hunters a few days ago.

I heard that when she was brought back, her whole body was wounded, and no one paid attention to her except the hunter who brought her back, and she refused to eat food even if she had to taste it in front of her.

What's even more frightening is that she broke the hunter's wooden door with a single slap.

Compared with those specially made metal doors, the wooden door is definitely inferior in defense, but it is not something that a girl can break easily.

Hearing those rumors, little Alec only thought it was funny, and since it was a boy younger than him who spoke, he wondered if it had been spread too many times, which made it so strange.

But when he thought about what happened today, he was not so sure.

Later, he saw the figure of the girl on the street behind the yard. Looking in that direction, she seemed to want to go to the mountains.

Little Alec felt uneasy, so he followed with the wooden sword in his hand.

Contrary to what he thought, the girl did not go to the mountains, but stopped by the stream at the foot of the mountain, took off her shoes and stepped into the water with bare feet, and there was no movement for a while.

He was feeling strange when the girl moved.

The sudden splash of water blocked his sight, and when everything returned to calm, what he saw was the fat-headed fish still struggling in the girl's hand, that head was half the size of her body.

Little Alec was stunned once again, he switched places in his head with the girl, imitating his action just now, and found that even if he was lucky enough to catch the nimble fathead fish, he might not be able to catch the flexible fish in it. Do not let go under the struggle.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why those children called her a monster.

"Hey, how long are you going to stay?"

Little Alec was startled by the sudden sound, and when he looked at the girl again through the gap between the leaves, he happened to meet her gaze.

In this way, it is clear at a glance who she was talking to just now.

After struggling for a while, little Alec stood up from behind the bushes with a blushing face.

Her hairstyle was messed up because she was walking through the bushes, and there were a few leaves on her head, which looked really funny.

The girl was amused by his unique hairstyle, but the smile was quickly suppressed.

"Who are you? What do you want to do after me?"

"I, I didn't want to do anything." The boy stammered, and subconsciously told the truth, "I'm just worried that something will happen to you, so I'll follow you to have a look."

Surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, obviously this was not the answer she expected.

"...Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Why be afraid?"

Little Alec asked strangely.

"Because I can do this."

The girl mentioned the fat-headed fish that was still trying to escape from the devil's grasp, and lightly patted the fish's head with the other hand. The fat-headed fish that was still flopping about a second ago stopped moving in an instant, and she didn't know whether it was dead or alive.

Little Alec was not frightened, but looked at the girl with amazed eyes.

"How did you do it? Can you teach me?"

The girl choked for a moment, she stared at little Alec, and held back a word for a long time.

"You bastard...are you an idiot!"

The boy frowned with dissatisfaction, "My name is Alec, I'm not an idiot."

"what is your name?"

The girl froze again.

"My name?" she murmured.

"My name...is Erin."

Her voice was soft, but little Alec heard it.

"Irene!" he shouted, the smile on his face lit up the girl's heart like a little sun.

"At that time, I was thinking, this guy is really an idiot."

Irene who came to our side at some point said coolly: "When I came up, I asked if I wanted to eat grilled fish, and she took the initiative to let me light the fire. He actually coveted a girl's dinner. He is really not a man."

Alec hurriedly called out his grievances, his cheeks flushed slightly red.

"I only asked this question when I heard your stomach growl. Besides, aren't you happy to eat?"

"Do you dare to say that you don't want to eat?"

"Well, isn't it normal for me to be greedy seeing how delicious your food is..."

Erin concluded.

"Oh, man."

Again, are these words really good for me?

I sighed inwardly, then gave Erin a sorry smile.

"I'm sorry for asking so many things about you secretly."

Although I didn't take the initiative to ask, but I still listened to it anyway.

Irene waved her hand, "No need to apologize, I know that this guy is talking too much again, he has this kind of virtue, he is obviously a big man but he always talks like a woman."

Just when Alec wanted to protest, Irene gave him a cold glance, and his whole body quickly deflated like a deflated balloon.

Kind of familiar... Isn't that how Jacob and Daphne get along?

After dealing with Alec, Irene clung to me again.

"Irene, if you want to know anything, you can ask me directly, and I will tell you everything!"

Is it because she has few friends of the same sex that she keeps pestering me?

Looking at Irene's expectant eyes, I suddenly couldn't say the words of rejection.

Why am I not? I have never had a friend of the same age since I was a child. The only woman who can speak is the head maid who has taken care of me since I was a child. Other maids are rarely able to stay with me because of assassination incidents. Those who have been in the mansion for more than three months will naturally not be familiar with them.

Thinking about it this way, Irene seems to be a little bit more miserable than me, at least I still have the head maid, so she might not be.

"Your relationship is really good."

"Huh? Me and him?"

Irene's expression became very exaggerated, "Ai Er, you are joking again, how can I have a good relationship with him?"

Not knowing what to think of, Irene suddenly trembled violently.

"Let's not continue this topic. I'm afraid that if we continue, I will have nightmares at night."

Alec on the side showed a melancholy expression.

Thanks a lot.

Afterwards I secretly asked Alec how he knew Erin was a kitchen killer.

"This, that is, that grilled fish, no matter how many pieces of fish I gave her, it would turn into black charcoal in the end, and it couldn't be eaten at all. Everything that went through her hands was without exception. Do you think it's miraculous?"

That night, Eileen knocked on my door in pajamas with a pillow in her arms.

She jumped at me as soon as I opened the door.

"El~ Let's have a slumber party~"

Can I say no?

Obviously not.

As soon as Irene came in, she went straight to the bed, and I could only go in that direction with my hand held back.

"Let me think about it~ Let's ask you questions and I will answer them. I will answer whatever you ask, and I promise not to lie!"

Have you not forgotten about this?

I smiled helplessly.

"There is one thing that I am very concerned about. Irene, have you been fighting like this since you were born?"

"Probably." Irene said uncertainly, "I can't remember exactly what happened before I was picked up by Uncle Jonathan. I vaguely remember that I stayed on the mountain for a long time, and I have no memory after that."

I asked again: "Have you tried to find your family? Maybe they are looking for you too."

Irene scratched her hair, "Maybe, but I don't have any memory at all, and I don't have anything on me that can prove my identity. Even if I want to look for it, I don't know where to look for it."

This is indeed a problem, but not without a solution.

After all, it is a matter of disappearing. Before I get an accurate answer, I don't intend to let Irene know my plan.

"Have you ever tried to collect information in the trade union? You were so young back then, so you definitely wouldn't be too far away from the accident site. With the location and time as clues, you might be able to find someone who knows."

"What you said seems to make sense..."

Irene thought about my proposal very seriously, and I was not in a hurry, just waiting for her to finish thinking.

"In that case, I have to go back, and I will definitely not get any information here."

I smiled reassuringly, "Anyway, the task at hand has been completed, it's not bad to visit relatives when you go back."

Eileen was obviously moved, and didn't have the mind to hold another pajama party. She almost forgot to take the pillow and planned to go back. The next day, she even mentioned it when she saw Alec at the first sight.

Alec naturally had no objection, "Then when do you plan to leave?"

Irene was stunned, she hadn't thought about this question.

From last night to now, she was only thinking about what to do when she went back, and what kind of result she would get, but she forgot the biggest problem in front of her, that they were still in Fergus, thousands of miles away from their hometown.

Naturally, you can walk at any time. If you feel tired from walking, you can also follow the teams that are leaving Fergus.

There are many businessmen coming and going in Fergus, and there is always a team going to Velezla. They cannot be hired as bodyguards. They can also pay a certain fare, and they can also be exempted from the work of night watch.

In addition, there is a convoy dedicated to pick-up and drop-off, but there is no safety guarantee. If the passengers are ordinary people, and unfortunately encounter a robber monster, it is easy to cause car crashes and death.

Alec went to find the convoy, while Irene stayed behind trying to convince me to go with them.

It is impossible to go back to Velezla, and I will never go back in my life, but Irene doesn't know my past, so it's natural to talk about it.

To do it once and for all, I decided to remake my past.

"Actually... I lied to you before."

I made a troubled expression on purpose and spoke hesitatingly.

"I'm a Velesira like you, and I'm lying because I'm never going back in my life."

As if realizing that what she said hit my sore spot, Irene calmed down all of a sudden.

After listening to my story, she couldn't say anything, and she no longer said that I wanted me to go with them, and she even looked like she planned to stay with me.

"You don't have to worry about me. You see, even if I leave home, I'm doing pretty well."

I smiled at her, "Besides, I'm not alone."
