“Mr.
Knight, please!” “Clang—” As Griseo’s voice fell, a handsome silver-blue armored Knight suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of the two, blocking the long saber swinging towards them with his Knight’s Sword.
“Wh-what!…
Ah!” After his attack was blocked, the man holding the long saber looked shocked.
But before he could react further, the silver half-body Knight struck again, using the Knight’s Sword to chop the enemy before him, sending him flying backward, breaking several trees.
And all of these things happened in an instant.
“…?” At this moment, the deer-horned girl, who had been embracing Griseo, waiting for the pain to descend, also noticed the anomaly behind her and cautiously turned her head to observe.
After all, she had heard the little girl in her arms shout, “Mr.
Knight, please.” After clearly seeing the situation behind her, the deer-horned girl quickly stood up from the ground, still holding Griseo in her arms.
Although she wasn’t sure what was going on with the half-bodied Knight behind her, she knew it was a good time to escape.
However, as the girl, holding Griseo’s hand, tried to escape, she found herself being pulled back by the blue-haired Little Girl.
Noticing this, she couldn’t help but feel a little anxious, as she didn’t know how long this sudden Knight could hold off these Infected…
“Warm…
don’t worry, Mr.
Knight will protect us.” As if sensing the deer-horned girl’s anxiety, Griseo looked up at her and gently comforted her in a calm tone.
“…” For no reason, upon meeting Griseo’s calm, beautiful purple eyes, the urgency and anxiety in the deer-horned girl’s heart unknowingly dissipated quite a bit.
And just then, the silver-blue Knight, who had stopped moving after repelling the attacker, began to act again as if receiving a command.
“Ah, Boss, that monster is coming!
What should we do?!” Clearly, some of the perpetrators of this violence panicked at the silver-blue Knight’s approach.
After all, the person who had been slashed and sent flying by Griseo’s Mr.
Knight was still lying in the distance, wailing, looking severely injured.
“What are you panicking for!
Everyone, attack!
A few of you hold off that monster, as for the others…
Heh, kill that woman and that little brat!” “If we let them go, I shouldn’t have to tell you what we’ll face next!” After shoving the person next to him, the organizer of this atrocity’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he gave the command.
“Yes!” Hearing their boss’s command, the people around suppressed the fear in their hearts and rushed towards the silver-blue Knight and the two people behind it, weapons in hand.
“It’s warm, don’t be afraid…” Noticing the fear resurfacing in the deer-horned girl beside her, Griseo gently squeezed the hand she was holding, wanting to give her some sense of security.
Although Griseo still hadn’t figured out who she was, she always had great confidence in Mr.
Knight.
She believed Mr.
Knight would definitely protect her…
and her friends.
True to Griseo’s trust and expectations, the silver-blue Mr.
Knight easily blocked and repelled all the attacking enemies with his knight’s sword.
“Ah ah ah…” “…No…
don’t kill me!” The infected individuals, repelled and sent flying, now lay scattered on the ground, wailing and screaming in agony.
Seeing this, the organizer of the operation showed a flicker of timidity in his eyes, then quietly took a step back.
When he realized the silver-blue Knight didn’t react to his movement, he immediately turned and fled into the forest behind him.
“…” Watching this scene, Griseo made no other moves; she simply looked up again at the “warm one” beside her.
She wasn’t interested in the fate of these people, nor did she have any particular thoughts, which was why she turned her questioning gaze to the person beside her.
Noticing Griseo’s gaze, the deer-horned girl was slightly startled, then she lowered her blue eyes, thought for a moment, and softly said, “Let him go…” “Then, let’s leave here quickly too.” As her voice fell, the girl took Griseo’s hand and walked towards the path.
Although these infected individuals were currently subdued, she still intended to leave quickly to avoid further trouble.
“Mm.” After hearing the “warm one’s” words, Griseo simply nodded her Little head obediently, then allowed herself to be led forward.
Griseo chose to respect the decision of the girl beside her, and besides, she wasn’t surprised at all.
Having already passed through the forest, the moment Griseo first saw the deer-horned girl, she recognized her identity and even knew which world she was currently in.
It was precisely because of this that she had initially stood there in a daze, thinking, before being tackled to the ground.
As for how she recognized her identity, it was all thanks to Haruneko’s memories, which included a game called “Arknights.” If those memories weren’t mistaken, Griseo remembered the kind girl with deer horns beside her was named Alina, and the continent she was currently on seemed to be called Terra.
To be honest, these realizations almost negated the possibility of Griseo being [Stars] with a transmigrator’s memories.
Unless, this world was the new home that [Stars] had been searching for alone in the universe, but no matter how one looked at it, the possibility wasn’t very high.
Although Alina, holding Little Girl’s hand, was eager to leave, she still hesitated for a moment, collected the supplies that had been stolen from her earlier, and then quickly departed.
Throughout this process, Griseo simply followed obediently.
It wasn’t until the two were far away from that place that she allowed Mr.
Knight, who had been intimidating the enemies, to disappear…
“Phew…
that…
Little sister, where is your home?” After running a long distance with Little Girl, and confirming there was no immediate danger, Alina slowed her pace and began to inquire about Griseo’s situation.
However, before Griseo could answer, Alina’s brow furrowed, and a hint of heartache flashed in her azure eyes.
The previous events had been too dangerous and swift; she hadn’t had much time to observe the child in front of her.
It was only now that Alina noticed Griseo’s unusual attire.
While she could accept the dress and bare legs, she absolutely could not accept the tender, small, bare feet deeply embedded in the snow!
How could a child be without shoes in a snowfield with thick snow!
Even her Talulah only had bare legs, not bare feet!
“Home…
I no longer have a home…” After a moment of stunned silence, Griseo slowly lowered her Little head, a long-lost sense of loss washing over her.
And at the same time…
“Grumble~”
