“Believe it or not, I will now begin to fulfil my promise to Katrina. It will be nearly impossible to save your people from the Three Beasts, but the Serpents still have your compatriots in their hands, and if they are rescued and gather each other’s strengths, perhaps something can be done……. It’s fine if you want to stand by and do nothing, but if you wish to see your compatriots out of their misery as well, co-operate with me and sneak back to the city of Skywagallou. “

　　Saying half-truths and half-false words, at this moment, I really need help. Feather rainbow although subject to insect system elbow, but as long as she can calm down, do not move in the heat, but also a member of the war force, very suitable for infiltrating into the building city with me to fight guerrilla warfare, as well as in the necessary …… to do the sacrifice of the shield to fight.

　　Having a common purpose with each other, yet neither having a better choice, co-operation became a conclusion that had to be made, and the two of us, together, firstly took advantage of the sun being in the right place to sneak back to the Valley of the Undead along the path, and although we heard the noises of some orcs chasing us on the way, they were all avoided by us by taking a step ahead of the others.

　　When I lifted the secret door of the mausoleum and entered the secret passage with Fei Hong, the beast people’s pursuers would no longer have anything to do with us. For one thing, this valley is very secret, they have not been able to find it in the past, and now it is even more difficult to find it in a hurry; for another, the war between the Tiger, Leopard, and Bear clans and the Snake clan is about to start, and I don’t believe that Bai Lan Xiong will not gather every bit of strength and resources on hand to prepare for the war, and it is unlikely that there will be too much manpower to come out and search for it.

　　For safety’s sake, Fei Hong walked in the forefront, and I, who was following her, inadvertently glimpsed the red birthmark on her shoulder again, and noticing this, not caring that it would reveal her thighs, she tugged at her cloak and covered her shoulder.

　　The palm-sized red dark streaks ruined the beauty of the snowy skin and made it look ugly, but it didn’t seem necessary to be so busy trying to cover it up. I guessed that there might be some secret in there, but now really wasn’t a good opportunity to look deeper.

　　I could feel that she had a lot of words that she was suppressing, and I was also very annoyed with this dull and eerie atmosphere, but there was nothing else for us to do other than to continue groping our way through the darkness in silence. No one could guarantee that this partnership, which couldn’t be more fragile, would not immediately break up as soon as we opened our mouths to speak, and only the parties would fight to the death.

　　Neither of us wants to end up in a split by tearing our hair out too soon until we’ve achieved our mutual goals.

　　Even though it was deep in the ground where no light of the sky was visible, it seemed that the Crystal Mirror’s function had to be activated only when the moon was in the sky, so we wasted quite a bit of time waiting for the moon to rise. Naturally, since both Yu Hong and I had little desire to talk, it turned into a veritable long wait.

　　However, during the waiting period, I still made use of the medicinal herbs at hand to formulate a little antidote that can slightly suppress the aphrodisiac effect of the secretion of the lecherous insects, so that Fei Hong could take it. The effect won’t be too good, but at least it won’t be a few moves, because the blood flow accelerates, the eroticism is bursting, the waves of water flowing softly.

　　When I handed over the antidote, Feather Rainbow instead swallowed it in one gulp without even asking.

　　When the moon was just empty, through the mysterious crystal mirror, we travelled through space to the underground chamber of the building city, only this time, although prepared, but the hand is extremely poor, what treasure did not get, not more than last time, but also earned a box.

　　The pairing of a feathered maiden and a human man didn’t seem to have managed to attract the favour of the Fates, and as we weaved out of the crystal wall, I nearly thought I’d been transported to a different place, as the scenery was different from the last time I’d been out, and there was something missing.

　　After running a few steps and looking at my surroundings, I was sure that this was the underground chamber of the building’s city that I had visited only a short time before, and the little light that filtered in from the front pointed to the fact that it had been discovered and opened.

　　“What’s wrong? Is something wrong?” Despite her extreme aversion to talking to me, Feather Rainbow, who noticed that I looked extremely strange, still asked the question.

　　“Gone ……” Instantly, Katrina’s sad expression flashed before my eyes, and I said bitterly, “The eggs of the Feather Clan, all of them …… are gone gone.”

　　It didn’t take Feather Rainbow long to understand the seriousness of the matter, and after walking around inside this chamber with me to check it out, we found that the passageway to the chamber had already been opened, and the explosive wires at the doorway had already been unplugged, but the explosives had been left almost entirely in place, which showed the haste with which it had all been acted upon.

　　When I left the secret room, I did close the door behind me, but the Snake Race itself has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, so perhaps they started searching the entire building city after sensing an intruder, and found something wrong from the strange odour, which in turn led them to find this secret room, break the mechanism, and take away the Feather Race’s foetal egg.

　　“There’s nothing to be done by staying here, so let’s just walk outside together to make sure the situation is okay.”

　　In fact, I wanted to stay in this secret room and wait for the attack of the Three Beasts, but then it would be difficult to keep track of the changes outside, and if the Snake Clan moved the place of confinement of the hostages, it would be very bad, so I used the excuse that there were also young children of the Feather Clan incarcerated to ask Feather Rainbow to move with me.

　　The stone hat I put away in my arms, across the board, now that it’s two people moving together, and I can’t use the Beast King’s Fist Power to create body odour, wearing this hat doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safer.

　　When we left the chamber and went to the ground, I was worried that we might encounter a surprise attack, but the Serpents seemed to be busy with something, and we couldn’t see much of anything when we exited the chamber, except for many messy crawling traces on the ground showing that the Serpents were travelling in a hurry.

　　(Strange, where did it go ……)

　　I couldn’t see any sign of the Snake Race, so I muttered in my heart. I remembered that they were preparing some powerful weapons to deal with the three major beast races, could it be that they were speeding up their preparations because they were aware that their secrets might be leaked?

　　The Great Sun Heavenly Mirror after transforming its nature was also as important a weapon as they had, Feather Rainbow and I had wasted quite a bit of time in the valley in order to wait for the moon to rise, and it was now less than twelve hours before Natasha’s stated time for the transformation to be completed, which was quite urgent.

　　Leaving the white building and turning towards the red building, Feather Rainbow’s strengths were revealed at this point. Having taken the herb that suppressed the obscene poison, and her physical strength having returned after resting, she retracted her wings, and her figure was light and quick, as if she had turned into a wisp of light smoke, quietly approaching the Red House without a sound.

　　It could be seen that the footsteps were feeble and weak, not in line with the essentials of superior lightness, this was the result of the drastic loss of kung fu over the past few days, but the ability to land soundlessly with every step, a stunt that orthodox lightness would not bother to work on, I’m afraid that it was her expertise as a constable.

　　Avoiding a possible fight, we dived closer to the Red Mansion, sniffing the smell of blood that couldn’t help but waft out from inside, and Featherhong’s expression was quite anxious.

　　The sight of the pool of blood was perhaps a little too exciting for her, and I contemplated letting her get closer, but was a step too slow.

　　The large blood pool, like a hot spring, kept on churning, with fist-sized blood bubbles bubbling on the surface; the Great Sun Heavenly Mirror, which was immersed in the blood pool, had also changed after this one day and one night’s tempering, and the entire appearance was covered with a layer of ebony-like heavy black aura, which was very sinister.

　　The majority of Asuka’s body was submerged in a pool of blood, and several thick and heavy iron refinements bound her to the Great Day Heavenly Mirror, her head hanging limply as if she had already lost consciousness.

　　These are nothing, the real exciting sight is in the poolside, two feather tribe girls overlapped lying on their backs, being penetrated by a spear, nailed to the ground, already lifeless body and head showing unnatural inversion, small neck twisted and broken, faintly flowing blood thin stream, the poolside side of the gravel, then stamped frightening dried blood marks, and not far away from the cluttered stacked dozens of children’s corpses, then explain the the origin of these bloodstains.

　　The snakes must have been alerted to the invasion, so they accelerated their movements, and the few girls I still saw when I left on my last trip had all been killed early and their blood released into the pool.

　　Feather Rainbow’s only eye suddenly widened in horror, the kind of horrified expression that made me immediately decide to make a move and cover her mouth with a deadly grip, not leaving a single gap. Shortly after, the huge impact felt in my palm proved that I had made the right move.

　　It is a sad thing that the children of the Feather Clan were brutally abused. But that’s what war between two clans is supposed to be like, and anyone who would expect to see the Snake Clan treating their captives kindly and affectionately playing with the children of their enemies must have more problems with their brains than I do.

　　Regardless of the reason, war itself is a cruel thing, and if you don’t want to see such a scene, you should have avoided it in the first place. Of course, that kind of talk doesn’t mean much at this point in time is all.

　　If Fei Hong’s screams were to spread out, we two would definitely not have a good ending, fortunately I did it quickly. At this time, then the situation below to see more clearly, only to see in the blood pool on the other side, piled up into a stone altar, two snake women are holding a ladle, scooping up the pool of grievous blood, poured on the altar carved in the runes, an old snake woman recited, singing some kind of ancient incantation song I do not understand, hand drawing, casting beasts and devils.

　　Orcs and half-orcs couldn’t practice spells like humans, so when casting spells, they could only transform their magic power by means of beast magic, and the right palm of that aged snake woman was covered with an ugly beast magic that resembled the appearance of a toad, and from the fluctuation of the magic power, it felt that it should be some kind of rather sinister evil magic.

　　But what really startled me was what lay on the altar: a clean white feathered foetal egg.

　　Catalyzed by the Snake Clan’s incantations, the runes on the altar bubbled black, channeling the blood of grievances and converging a steady stream of evil power into the foetal egg at the centre of the altar. The original crystalline lustre of the eggshell quickly dimmed, turning into a tainted blood-like black and red colour, and it wasn’t long before cracks appeared in the eggshell.

　　At a shrill cry from the aged snake-woman, something broke out of its shell and rapidly grew larger on the altar, multiplying its size in just the blink of an eye into a baby-sized creature.

　　With a human form and wings, but instead of the feathered race that was supposed to have hatched, it was an ugly, hideous-faced human-faced bird. The mouth that was supposed to be the same as a human’s was replaced by a sharp, curved beak, and the white skin between the waist and belly turned into ugly turquoise-black scale armour.

　　So that’s where the sphinx came from. In a flash, I understood a lot of things. Why did the Feathered Clan make the technique of making the human-faced bird taboo? Why after Phoenix Island disappeared, no more human-faced birds appeared? Why did the Phoenix Celestial Maiden absolutely forbid the appearance of human-faced birds in the Southern Barbarians? Why did Katrina entrust me to destroy the foetal egg as a last resort? This is all because the Bird of Faces is made from the foetal eggs of the feather tribe, an extremely sinister and evil beast magic.

　　Perhaps because it had just hatched, the human-faced bird that couldn’t even open its eyes didn’t seem to have any vicious feelings, but the little angel that was supposed to come into the world in blessing and anticipation was cursed at birth and became an evil and ugly life form, which was really the greatest sorrow for the Feathered Clan who had placed all their hopes on the next generation.

　　With her shrivelled hand, that aged snake woman grabbed the human-faced bird and spoke a few words to the two snake women next to her, seemingly asking them to take this newborn thing and process it in preparation for refining the Beast Demon.

　　Even I, at the sight of this scene, had the feeling of having inhaled a large mouthful of poisonous gas, and my mind was a bit confused, and even more so, I neglected to tighten my grip on my hand, allowing Fei Hong to break free.

　　The young girl’s behaviour in this instant was like a furious panther that had been enraged. Without any regard for her physical state, she directly leapt down from the crack in the floor of the ground floor, her movements were light and agile, and before the three snake women realised it, she soared like a feathered arrow off the string.

　　The elderly snake woman was the first to notice, and seemed to be trying to recite some kind of spell to stop it, but Feather Rainbow was one step faster, using the powerful force of her dive to hit her first with a heavy punch.

　　It was hard to imagine that this was a fist that was still clamped down by the insect body, the girl’s fierce grief and anger allowed her to exert power beyond the limits of her flesh, the sound of bone crunching rang out clearly as the aged snake woman wailed and leaned back just in time to receive the second half of the girl’s sharply altered stance.

　　After hitting her target with a punch, Fei Hong spun backwards in mid-air, her posture incredibly lithe, her naked fragrant body under the cloak transformed into a dance-like sexy stance, while the long, slender and pretty legs became the most lethal weapon, heavily strangling and kicking the enemy’s neck.

　　Even for a strong creature like the snake race, a heavy blow to the neck would be fatal, and the ugly aged snake woman died instantly, but Feather Rainbow, who had created this beautiful battle, immediately faced a pinch from two snake women who had come to their senses from the shock.

　　I don’t know if it was because of their lack of ability or what, but the two snake women didn’t use beast magic, but simply attacked from the left and right. If she still had half of her original martial arts skills, Fei Hong should be able to win easily, but with her powers greatly declining and bound by her insect body, she quickly fell into a disadvantage after exhausting her physical strength in that furious strike just now, staggering backward with her footsteps.

　　Barely knocking down one can be said to be the limit of her ability, just as she was exhausted and fell to the ground in a lumbering heap, about to be strangled by the last snake woman, fishy blood spurted out of the enemy’s chest, the other fell, and I, who had succeeded in my secret plan, drew back the Hyakki-maru with all my might, and made up for it with a few more swipes in the head of the gassed-out snake woman.

　　Allowing the battle to be prolonged would only alert the hordes of Serpents, and I’d be damned if I’d let that happen. Get rid of the people quickly so I can have time to take care of the rest.

　　In fact, it is not my intention to take action now, because even if I can save the people, soon after the inevitable alarm of the snake clan, a large search, but not good. It is best to wait until the three clans take action, this side of the situation is chaotic, then come to do it, that will be much more stable. However, the situation was developing too fast, and there was no one else here to guard the area, so we had to improvise.

　　Feather Rainbow lay to the side, panting heavily, and glanced towards me before shifting her gaze towards the foetal egg on the altar.

　　Whatever she was planning to do, it was clear to me that there was no way we were going to be able to take those foetal eggs away from her now.

　　The pool of blood was still rolling and bubbling, I resisted the nausea and jumped in, the overflowing blood dipped straight through my chest. The rich smell of blood, let a person want to vomit, but this is not the worst place, the pool of blood of the hostility, and some kind of sinister evil energy combination, just dip, I feel the whole body cold and hot, like to the body of the essence of the body all out of the general hollowing out, uncomfortable to the extreme.

　　Asuka hung her head low, still semi-conscious, and let out a painful moan. I didn’t call out to her, I just tried to use the Hyakki Maru to cut the chains that were binding her, but I didn’t realise that the divine weapon that cuts iron like clay didn’t work this time, the chains that had been dipped in the blood of grievances and wrapped around the Great Sun Heavenly Mirror were protected by some kind of spell power, and couldn’t be destroyed by physical force alone.

　　“Shit, why can’t you cut it?”

　　I don’t have the divine power like Asuka, if I can’t cut the chains, I can’t afford to run away with the person along with the Great Sun Heavenly Mirror, moreover, having been immersed in the pool of blood and vaguely feeling the grievances of dozens of wronged souls, my body couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, and I wouldn’t be able to hold out for much longer.

　　A few more slashes, the chains didn’t move, the Hyakki-maru didn’t even cut into the iron refining, it was blocked by the spell power through the air, I was feeling anxious, but the semi-conscious Asuka gradually came to her senses.

　　“…… Master, Master ……”

　　“Stop ghosting and screaming, help me if you can and get you out of here quickly.”

　　She was shorter than me, and the blood in the pool had soaked up to Asuka’s neck, covering most of her body, so I couldn’t confirm what had happened to the transformation the Snake Clan claimed to have done to her. But when I touched her pink back, I felt like I was touching animal hair, which made me realise that the situation was not good.

　　Lifting up her head, the face of Asuka, who had suffered from these days of torture, looked very haggard, and one eye, which was always full of vigour, was now dull, especially the string of tears that kept overflowing, especially heartbreaking to the human heart.

　　“Master, master …… over there …… that location …… there were originally so many little children… …Over the past few days, they’ve tried to help me cheer them up, and I’ve been comforting them …… I laughed with those kids …… I promised I’d get them all out… …”

　　It is not difficult to understand the whole state of affairs once one understands the girl’s personality and applies one’s imagination. The girl imprisoned in a cage, the young girl locked in a pool of blood, people in the same situation on both sides, encouraged by each other’s expressions and eyes, supported each other.

　　He was about to be finished, and still had the mood to smile at the captive next to him, except for Asuka, a happy-go-lucky person with a simple head, I’m afraid that not many people could do that. But for the children of the Feather Clan who had been captured in this gloomy place, where all the clansmen had disappeared and disappeared, and who were panicking and scared in their hearts, this silly big sister, who desperately tried to soothe their uneasiness with a smile, might be like an angel-like gentle and kissable, and it wasn’t unbelievable that only the party had built up a friendship.

　　But …… here is a most unsuitable environment and situation for making friends ah ……

　　“Those snake women came and they gave those children one by one to …… me, I wanted to stop them so much, I had already told not to, but they were still …… neon they had taught me the mantra of praying to the gods, and I brought the children The children prayed together, and we were really sincere, but …… why were the children still gone one by one? They obviously just smiled at me, but now …… why are they all gone?”

　　Whether one is strong or not is more important than anything else at this point in time. Feather Rainbow never heard her pray to the gods for anything when she was being lustfully abused by me, and I believe she has already comprehended this.

　　But I couldn’t reprimand Asuka. Even though we have different outlooks on life, I can’t say anything harsh to this young girl who is trying to shine a little light in the boundless darkness.

　　“Those snake women …… they force me to drink first every time, every time before they put the blood in the pool …… I, I’m really sad, Master, Master, wow~~”

　　Asuka couldn’t hold back her tears any longer as she said this, the crystal teardrops stained with blood and flowing across her pale cheeks, looking truly bloodied.

　　My whole heart throbbed with pain, yet I knew that if I let her cry so bitterly, she would soon alert the Serpents, and there was only one thing left for me to do at that point, and then the best thing to do was ……

　　“Well ……”

　　With the intimacy of the physical relationship between Asuka and I, such a simple kiss is really nothing, but, lightly touching her soft rose lips and caressing her delicate cheeks, for a moment I actually had a heart-thumping feeling.

　　The crying voice, sealed by the kiss, became a tiny whimper that couldn’t be sent out, until the lips parted, only then did Ah Xue raise her snotty little face, half-crying, and said, “Master …… your mouth tastes so strange, it all tastes like blood… …”

　　“Stupid, that’s all from you!”

　　There’s no time for more nonsense, I can feel that there are already snake clans coming here, at that moment, I hugged Asuka in this extremely inconvenient position, and softly said, “You have to trust me, I will definitely get you out of here, even if I can’t do it here, on the road where they are escorting you, I’m sure I’ll …… “

　　While I was talking, I realised that my two bodies couldn’t fit tightly together, and my huge round breasts, the exact size of which couldn’t be seen under the surface of the water, were firmly pressed against my chest, and just from the feeling of it, one would be filled with reverie.

　　（What have they done to you, for God’s sake?)

　　These words can not be said again, cause Asuka’s grief, since the chain can not be cut, I have to go to think of other methods, now must immediately leave, and then lurk. I to Asuka again persuade a few words, was about to leave, suddenly heard a broken crunch, look to the side, immediately shocked.

　　Gritting her teeth, tears of remorse streaming down her face, Feather Rainbow picked up the stones with her aching, weak hands and tremblingly smashed them into the white foetal eggs beside the altar, breaking them one by one.

　　“You’re crazy! This is the foetal egg of your Feather Clan, didn’t you fight to the death for this?”

　　Running wildly from the bleeding pool, I scampered to the side of the altar in one big stride, grabbed Fei Hong’s hand, and was about to scold her, but she seemed to have all but collapsed, just like Asuka just now, and cried out with a wow.

　　My head woke up, and I instantly understood her intentions. In terms of reason, she should also have discovered that even self-preservation is a problem for us, it is absolutely impossible to take these foetal eggs away safely, so rather than letting these children be cursed and turn into fallen evil beings that will be refined into beasts and devils as soon as they are born, it is not as good as being for the Feathered Clan’s own hands to let them be relieved of their …… And this practice is exactly the same as the original Katrina’s commission to me.

　　The sound of snakes only crawling outside was getting closer, but the two women inside and outside the pool of blood were howling.

　　It is true that, realistically, there is no other way out, but since human beings are intelligent and capable of thinking, they should be able to endeavour to make the situation better in any worst-case scenario, right?

　　(Right! Maybe ……)

　　I grabbed the stone in Feather Rainbow’s hand and smashed a few feathered foetal eggs with force, mixing them with the previous ones and breaking them as much as I could before picking up all the rest of the foetal eggs, dividing them into several batches in different locations and sinking them all into the blood pool.

　　If it goes well, 90% of the foetal eggs will get away with it, and while there’s no guarantee that this poorly thought out blindfold will work, at least we tried.

　　After doing so, the sound of snakes crawling outside was already clearly audible, and as soon as I pulled up Fei Hong, who had already fainted from crying, and with the Hyakki-maru in hand, I rushed outside along the steps.

　　Luck is not bad, appeared in front of our eyes is only a few tails of python, is not a spirit of the snake woman. Feather rainbow slightly clear mind, put all the full-blooded indignation on these several tails of python, to her main attack, I hold the Divine Warrior to cooperate, and soon several tails of python one by one to end.

　　Getting as far away from the red building as possible will only be to our advantage, I haven’t thought of how to undo that chain yet. The Hundred Ghosts Pill is a divine weapon originating from the Temple of Cihang Jing, which itself also belongs to the magic weapon, it’s only because of my lack of power that it is only sharp in my hands and doesn’t have divine power, if it is mastered by another artisan or martial artist with sufficient cultivation, it should be able to work with the spiritual power on the sword to cut through the chain spell power.

　　Unable to think of a solution for a while, Fei Hong and I only continued to run, trying to hide back in the underground chamber where we originally hid, which wasn’t safe, but I couldn’t think of any other place in a hurry.

　　The escape was soon forced to end when a bunch of snakes wandering the ground spotted us and gave chase, all the while hissing and beckoning for help.

　　We were soon surrounded back and forth by the snakes, and there were a few snake women who came over from afar, but we couldn’t see Natasha, Yalanja, the two sisters, or the rest of the snake cadres, so we didn’t know what they were doing.

　　(Shouldn’t ……)

　　Even though I’m only a third-rate Stirring Magician, when I concentrated, I still felt some magic fluctuations coming from the west. I purposely barged that way, and using my eyesight, I vaguely saw a giant thing, about ten or so feet tall and massive, looking somewhat like a gargoyle statue, but the Feathered Race shouldn’t have such a thing.

　　(What spells are being cast? That’s weird. ……)

　　There is no time to look carefully, we have already exchanged hands with the snakes that came over, although Hyakki-maru is sharp and cuts the snakes as if it were a vegetable, but in the face of the dense group of snakes, I can’t help but soften my hands, Fei Hong’s side is even worse, there is no return to the courage she had just killed her enemies, under the siege of the two giant pythons and a snake woman, she is in danger of being attacked by the two giant pythons and a snake woman.

　　“Damn, bitch, where’s all your kung fu gone? Do you really want to die here?”

　　An angry curse was shouted out, and I could only laugh bitterly. Wasn’t I the one who put Fei Hong in this predicament with her weakened strength and weak arms and legs? Apart from blaming myself for killing myself, what else can I say?

　　As a result, although reluctant, I was left to bear the brunt of the enemy’s attack. If the power of the Beast King’s Fist had not been lost, I could have fought, but now I was only thinking about how to escape.

　　Snake group surrounded more and more dense, in the heat of the battle a careless, Fei Hong’s calf was poisonous snake coiled up to bite, staggered, was the snake woman to seize the opportunity, the snake tail swept violently across the sky, will be her flying in the air.

　　“Ah!”

　　There was a scream, but before she could hit the ground, the serpent’s tail coiled around her, reeling her in and strangling her heavily.

　　The situation changed too quickly, I was too late to rescue, I saw blood spilling out from the corner of Fei Hong’s mouth, it seemed that because of the tightly wrapped snake’s tail, her internal organs began to rupture, I did not think twice, I threw the Hyakki Pill in my hand.

　　Blood splattered, and a single throw of the sword with no accuracy hit the python next to her, but the snake woman’s throat opened up a big hole, and a black shadow that suddenly sprang out, agilely pounced on her at this critical moment, and snapped her throat with a single bite.

　　The snake woman let out an unwilling wail and convulsed to death, and I rushed over and drew my sword, chopping at her snake’s tail to save Fei Hong, who had almost fainted to death.

　　The “benefactor” who had just helped me a lot by biting off the snake girl’s throat, matched my movements and spat out brilliant flames, turning the snake on the ground into a rolling fire block, before turning his head to look at me fiercely.

　　I, on the other hand, looked at it, unable to understand for a moment why this companion, who had accompanied Asuka in the guerrilla war for a few days, had appeared here.

　　“Violet ……”
