There is also a basement inside the shop, and the light source is officially revealed through the cracks in the basement.

Remia carefully opened the basement door a little, and looked into the basement with one eye. The space was not large, and it was very bright. Almost everything inside could be seen clearly at a glance.

 In an instant, Remia's eyes froze... She even instinctively covered her mouth with her hands!

 She saw【Z】!

 It’s just [Z] in the basement, but it’s like [Z] she doesn’t recognize... because [Z] like this is not human at all!

 In the basement, 【Z】is sitting against the wall.

But [Z]’s chest was open... Inside the open chest, Remia saw things like gears, pipes, cylinders... and even a heart made of mechanical parts!

At this time, two black cables were connected to the open chest of [Z]. Mr. [Sunny] was tinkering with something on the side at this time, and there were a dozen rather old batteries placed on the ground.

“You can’t last long with these things left, [Z].” Mr. [Qingtian] said coldly: “If you don’t leave here, I don’t know if you can wake up next time.”

But he said slowly: "As long as I can see the sun, it will be fine."

“Then, let’s go to a place with sun.” Mr. [Sunny] said.

"Not yet." [Z] shook his head: "Remia, there is no way to walk for several days in the wind and snow, she will freeze to death."

"We shouldn't take her with us anymore." Mr. [Qingtian] shook his head and said: "The current world is not suitable for human survival. You should not have saved her in the first place. You also saw that at that time...what

sound?"

Mr. [Sunny Sky] suddenly raised his head, frowned, and then dug out of the basement and walked all the way out, even to the back alley of the store.

It looked at both sides suspiciously. After careful observation, it found nothing, so it groaned, quickly returned to the shop, and closed the door.

 …

Outside the alley, the girl covered her mouth with her hands... maybe because of the cold, or maybe because of fear, her body was shaking slightly.

 Suddenly, the girl slid down the wall and sat down.

  She felt that her pants were soaked through and soon turned into ice shards due to the cold.

 …

"Don't tell Kaz and the others about my affairs for the time being." Before entering, [Z] looked at Mr. [Sunny] and whispered: "This will better maintain everyone's mental state."

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Mr. [Qingtian] nodded.

They walked in through the back door of the shop and climbed through the circle of cabinets.

 I saw that everyone was already sleeping soundly... [Z] glanced at Remia casually, and saw that Remia was alone at this time, huddled in the corner.

【Z】came to Remia's side, took a look, then reached out and gently pressed on Remia's shoulder.

 Seems to feel a slight tremor.

【Z】 then took off his coat, and then covered Remia's body... He looked at 【Sunny】, and said softly: "You should also take a rest, I will keep vigil."

Mr. [Sunny Sky] was not pretentious, and after answering, he squeezed into Taromaru's arms. This is a good source of warmth.

 But soon, as if he thought of something, [Z] took out another book... This was the one that Remia gave him on the train.

【little Prince】.

In the silent night, apart from the sound of sleeping soundly, there was only the occasional sound of turning the pages of a book... Remia bit her fist lightly at this time, for fear that if she made a little noise, it would break the atmosphere here.

silence.

 She was still shivering, shivering from the cold.

 …

 …

 …

 …

 In front of the bed, figures floated.

The village chief, the priest of the temple, and the elders of the village were all looking at the hope of the village with concern, this candidate for a holy girl who had not appeared in the village for many years.

"Remia! It's great to finally wake up!" The village chief looked excited at this time: "Last night, there was a fire in the temple. After we rescued you and your brother, neither of you woke up... After all,

What happened? Why did the temple catch fire?"

 The girl stared blankly at the people around her.

 The village chief, the priest, the elders in the village... they are all these people.

"Yes, Remia, what happened? Did you do something to blaspheme the saint's things, so you will be punished!"

"I..." Seeing everyone's increasingly fierce gazes, the girl on the bed trembled.

 Cold, she felt colder than ever before.

 “Remia?”

"It's...it's Dashu!" The girl on the bed covered her face and cried bitterly: "It's Dashu! He wants me to take him to the temple, saying that he only needs to take a look! I can't tell, but he...

...I'm sorry, I should have stopped him! I should have stopped him from touching the gems of the statue...I'm sorry!"

 Everyone in front of the bed frowned and looked at the priests of the temple.

 The priest was seen holding a crystal ball in his hand. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "The saint revealed... Remia, you are not lying."

  Did not... lie.

 The girl's face, hidden under her hands, gradually became lost.

I did not lie?

Yes.
