My head hurts… and I’m a little nauseous.

After Xinsao woke up from the coma, he felt his throat was dry and painful and his stomach was churning.He was dizzy because he didn’t know how many laps he had rolled with the TARDIS before he passed out.What happened after that?He didn’t know, anyway, it was right that he wasn’t dead yet.

“It’s fragrant! Uh…” It hurts…Is the bone broken?Xin Cao touched his ribs, it hurts, at least there are bruises.He also seems to have been hit.But this is not inside the TARDIS, it seems to be a… cave?Why is it a cave… There is no one around, there is a relatively simple bonfire beside him, and he is covered with… a scented coat?

Youxiang must be around here… Thinking so, Xinsao stood up.It didn’t matter what happened to the rest of the TARDIS, he just wanted to find Yuka now.Just stood up and took two steps away, Xinsao saw Youxiang coming back from the jungle outside the cave, still holding some supplies in his hand.

“Ah! Xin □□ woke up! That’s great~~” Seeing Xin Cao standing at the entrance of the cave, Youxiang ran over, she said, “We seem to have been thrown out of the TARDIS! “

“Yes, is that so…” Why do you look so happy, then we are rounded up and counted as dead?Xin Cao said, “You’re not injured, are you?”

“Yeah. I’m fine.” Because Xinsao has been holding me tightly all the time.Youxiang laughed, and she said, “It’s okay, I can take care of Xinsao. Because this place is actually very familiar to me…”

“familiar?”

“Well. This is the world of fairy tales.” The world I was in the year I ‘died’.Youxiang said, “I didn’t expect to be able to come back here. It seems that the TARDIS brought us here. It was already here when we fell out, and the others should be somewhere outside.”

Xin Cao didn’t know what to say, because You Xiang was so calm, so he couldn’t panic: “Thank you, You Xiang.”

“Hey? Why?”

“Because you were taking care of me just now.” And he was so calm.It is impossible for you not to be afraid, but in front of me… No, maybe she is really not afraid now.Xinsao was not sure, he said, “Let me help you too, we are in distress, right? I don’t quite understand what to do…can you tell me?”

“Yeah!” Youxiang said and handed the ‘prey’ in her hand to Xincao, she said, “This is our dinner! It’s getting dark, it’s better not to go outside the forest… Maybe you will meet Monsters. Although the evil dragon is gone now, I still saw some traces of monsters in the forest just now, let’s be careful.”

“Ah, I see. But… those guys should come back to us, right?”

“It’s okay for Shinsao and I to live here all the time?”

“Haha… If you think about it that way, I don’t think it’s a problem.” Xinsao also laughed, and he said, “But, Youxiang… How did you manage to be fully armed all of a sudden?” She was clearly on the TARDIS I was wearing casual clothes back then, and now I’m suddenly wearing a hero uniform…

“Because Xiaoxi is helping me.” As soon as Youxiang opened her mouth, Xipu appeared beside her, and then waved at Xinsao: “I’m here too, student Xinsao~ I’m so sorry! Are you disappointed?”

“Well… I almost thought of it.” Forget it… Xin Cao has to get used to this situation, he said, “In short, it’s fine. where to live.”

“Hey…” Youxiang smiled and walked back to the bonfire with Xinsao, she said, “Let’s go find the town after dawn. I don’t know which country this is in. If we can find Her Royal Highness, we can live there.” Now we can live a comfortable life. Even if Hungryu-kun and the others don’t come to us, it’s fine.”

“your Highness?”

“Well, Princess Dawn. She is the princess of a country on this continent, so cute! It’s the one who gave me the Sword of Dawn. Speaking of which, I’m still a knight of the kingdom. It would be great if I could be recognized… …” Youxiang sat near the bonfire while talking, and she took the rabbit she hunted with a bow and arrow, “Brother Bazel used to handle the prey, but I can almost do it. Don’t worry, worry!” I will let you eat delicious roasted rabbit meat!”

“Ah…well. Don’t force yourself.” Seeing such a mature and independent You Xiang, Xin Cao’s mood was a little bit complicated.But that’s fine too.It would be a good thing to know how her estrangement from him was caused.Because the difference between Youxiang and the beginning is that…

She no longer needs anyone to live independently.

That’s a good thing, no need to be depressed about it – but it’s still a little lonely.

“Student Xinsao.” While still looking at Youxiang, Xinsao’s gaze was suddenly blocked by Xipu, and he said quietly, “Then…even if the seniors and I want to take you to find other It’s not impossible for people to do it. In fact, there is no need to do this kind of thing. Do you know why Miss Xiangxiang must do it?”

“Huh? Could it be…”

“That’s right. She wants to be with you. Memories that only belong to the two of you… Don’t miss this opportunity now.” Sipp tilted his head slightly, and said, “We will be in secret Watching you. I hope Miss Xiangxiang dies without regret…and then becomes my bride. Don’t make my wish unfulfillable because of the stupidity of human beings.”

“…I see.” This person is still different from the ordinary Shura field.He seems to be the main force of…the Shura field after death.Um.Xin Cao doesn’t know what the hell is the Shura field after death.But it doesn’t seem to matter until I die.

After getting a response, Hipp disappeared.He must have gone to observe secretly.It’s easier to just ignore him.

“You Xiang, let me help you.” Seeing that you held up the knife for a long time without moving.Xinsao came to her side, “What should I do…? Bloodletting first?”

“Hey?! Do you want bloodletting?!”

“…Didn’t you say you probably know how to do it?”

“Well… because Brother Bazel is operating…” My survival in the wild can basically be summarized as the following guidelines: The first step is to call Brother Bazel.The second step is to hand it over to Brother Bazel.The third step is done.Only now did Youxiang realize the seriousness of the matter, and she really couldn’t always rely on Brother Bazel!

“Let’s try it out together. I think we should bleed first, peel the skin, and clean the internal organs.” Xin Cao said that this is how wild survival shows are performed, but if you want to do it yourself, you should… calm down!You are a hero!You can’t hold back now!He said, “Shall I come?”

“Xin Cao is so handsome…”

“Don’t rush to praise me, I’m in a panic right now.” Xin Cao took the knife and said, “However, it suddenly occurred to me… If Tardis brought us here, it means that Bazel and the others are also Come here.”

“Ah…that’s right.” After all, TARDIS was following Bazel’s brother and the others, Youxiang said, “Maybe, Mr. Hungry Wolf and the others will give priority to dealing with infectious diseases, right? Probably?”

“…Don’t you feel scared at all? Youxiang?”

“Hmm. If I were alone… maybe I would be scared. In fact, I was scared every day during the whole year I was here.” Afraid… But it’s different now! Since Xin Cao is here, I’m not afraid of anything!”

“But afraid of handling rabbits.”

“I hate it! People are afraid of this!! But, since you have killed Mr. Rabbit for food, you must eat it to pay your respects!” Youxiang suddenly became energetic, “Let’s work hard!! Heroes You can’t give up easily!”

“Yes…then you don’t want to hide behind me?”

“I’ve already hunted! Time to worry!”

——Finally finished dinner.

Rabbit blood is less than expected.The process was relatively smooth.It’s just that they only eat cooked meat without any seasoning, so it’s not too delicious.It’s not good to ask too much if you can fill your stomach.When resting at night, Youxiang volunteered to keep watch, but she fell asleep first.Because she was sleeping so soundly, Xinsao couldn’t wake her up.

“Yes, I’m sorry…” The next morning, she apologized aggrievedly, “I clearly said that I would take care of Xinsao…”

“It’s okay. I have slept for a long time before.” Refers to coma.

“But……”

“It’s okay. It’s over. I’m glad you can feel so at ease when you’re by my side.” Shinsao smiled and said, “It’s up to you. We’re going to get out of the forest, right?”

“Hmm! It would be great if I could find the city. I don’t know how big this forest is, so let’s take a walk first.” Youxiang nodded, looked up at Xinsao, then approached him with small steps and said, “Well, the forest Here, it’s hard to walk… I can hold Shinsao’s hand~”

“Haha… um. I see, thank you.” Xinsao laughed, he stretched out his hand, and was held happily by Youxiang, “Am I the entourage of Lord Knight now?”

“That’s not it. Shinsao is the knight-sama’s protection~ He is an important person!”

“I see. So relieved, Sir Knight!”

“Of course! Lord Knight is very powerful, and he will definitely protect you! You only need to… deal with the food!”

It seems that he is still obsessed with the rabbit thing.If possible, Xin Cao would not want to do it again, survival in the wild is really difficult.The climate in this forest is still cool, it should be autumn now.The ground was covered with fallen leaves, and it was soft to step on.Although Youxiang was leading the way, she had to fall more often, and holding hands was indeed very necessary.

After walking for a while, the physical exertion was still very heavy, and I didn’t see the edge of the forest: “It looks like the forest is very big…” Youxiang was a little discouraged, “Although I want to talk to my heart. We can do whatever we want together, but if it’s too big, let’s ask Xiaoxi.”

“It’s okay to ask him now—ah, wait a minute. Look over there, there is incense.” Xinsao saw something in the forest, and he pointed to it.

“It seems to be a stone tablet…a stone mountain?” It’s so big…and it looks familiar?Youxiang looked over, “Let’s go over and have a look!”

The two of them walked towards the stele after saying this, but who would have thought that the stele would move when they approached the past!The earth was trembling, as if there was an earthquake, this stele——no.Just a stone giant!He was obviously squatting on the ground just now!And now he stood up, taller than the trees in the forest, with a spear of stone in his hand, and roared! !

“…” Xincao was stunned for a moment, and then hugged Youxiang tightly, “Sorry, I really can’t win this one, Youxiang. I’ll attract his attention, and then you run away!”

“No, Xin Cao, I won’t leave you behind!”

“But–“

“It’s okay! Leave this place to me, Lord Knight!” Youxiang said, she came out of Xinsao’s arms, and drew her sword with a click, “O people of the mountains and forests of the King of Giant Stones! Be safe and don’t be impatient! You know this A sword!?”

what……?Xin Cao looked at You Xiang who was shouting at the giant in surprise.

“… This light is like the morning sun, it is a blue knight… Master Youxiang!” The giant spoke!And also called You Xiang’s name!

“It’s me! Then! What happened to the Giant Stone King?”

“Thanks to your help, the king and his clan have successfully entered a deep sleep. Ahead is our clan’s ‘dormitory’.” Looking in the direction the giant said, you can see the endless mountains, “I was left behind One of the guards under him. He woke up after feeling the commotion of magic, but he didn’t expect it to be the Sword of Dawn… What are you doing here, Lord Knight?”

“Well…Actually, I got separated from my companions and came to this forest by accident.” Youxiang explained, “Can I ask you to help us take us out of the forest?”

“Of course.” The giant readily agreed, “This mountain forest is the residence of our family. It is already deep here. It is difficult to leave with the strength of human feet. This small matter is not enough to repay your kindness to our family. Please give give it to me.”

“Great! Thank you!” If there are stone giants, they will be able to go outside the forest soon!Youxiang laughed, and then she turned around and explained to Xinshao, “In that year, my brother Bazel and I helped resolve the war between the stone giant and the kingdom. It allowed the stone giant to successfully enter the deep sleep once every 500 years to recuperate. When I saw that stele, I knew it was them!”

“Master Knight is the benefactor who saved my family.” The stone giant added, and then put his hand on the ground, “Are you Lord Knight’s follower? I haven’t heard your name before.”

“Ah, um… I, my name is Xinsao. This is the first time we meet…” Is it okay to say that? !What happened, the plot suddenly became magical!In addition, the fragrance is so handsome!Xin Cao was a little nervous.

“Xin Cao is my favorite person.” Youxiang pulled Xin Cao and jumped onto the huge stone giant’s palm, she said, “I thought I would never come back, but it’s great to be able to come back again.”

“My family soon fell into a deep sleep, not knowing what was going on outside. But the birds sent some messages. They said that the hole in the sky was filled, and the dragon was killed. But the hero also disappeared.”

“Well… I have returned to the original world.”

“That’s right. It would be great if you can go to the place you expect.”

Saying this, the stone giant held Youxiang and Xinsuo in his palms, and started to walk towards the border of the forest.Because the stone giant is taller than the trees, the view here is excellent.Youxiang and the others could see that the border of the forest was quite far away. Although the Stone Giants could reach it within a short walk, it would take them a week or so to let them walk by themselves.

“Youxiang… worked really hard in a place I didn’t know about.” And it was incredible.What should I do if I become so handsome.Xin Cao said, “I have to work harder.”

“It’s okay to just worry about it! Because… this kind of worry, I already…” I really like it.If Xinsao worked harder, wouldn’t I… Youxiang turned her head to look at him, then suddenly laughed and threw herself into his arms, “I like Xinsao! I work hard for Xinsao… Then This year, it was all to meet Xinsao again! I did so many, so many incredible things! It’s all due to Xinsao, right?”

“…If you become so independent, I will also be very lonely.” Rely on me a little more.Just like before, even if only for a short while, “Beside me…youxiang. I need you too?”

“No… Youxiang needs care. Really, really… Without care, you don’t have the courage to do a lot of things. Maybe it’s impossible to be here now.” Maybe it was in the fairy tale world. give up.Maybe… Youxiang said, “So, don’t let Xinsao disappear. As long as Xinsao is still there, I will… I know where I’m going. Don’t disappear. Okay? Promise me! Absolutely not!”

“You are the one who disappears every time, Youxiang!”

“Youxiang didn’t disappear…it wasn’t voluntary! For Youxiang, the heart trouble also disappeared! So we’re even~”

“It’s not even, you Xiang! No way! You have to make it up to me!”

“Okay. But Mr. Giant is still here, so I can only kiss you? Chirp~”

“Mr. Giant! Can you close your eyes for a moment?!”

Giant: Humans are so boring.
