"Boom..."

In a daze, Thier seemed to feel a little shock.

It seemed that it was an earthquake from a distant place, and it was slightly transmitted here.

Thierre was awakened by this faint vibration and opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?"

As soon as he opened his eyes, Thier heard a familiar gentle voice.

So Thierre turned his head and looked to the side.

There, Vivian, who leaned his shield against the rock wall, was looking at her with a smile on her face.

After a closer look, there were blood and dust on many parts of Vivian's body. She seemed to be uninjured, but she looked very tired and embarrassed.

Next to them, Lumiya and Melika leaned against each other's heads, like Vivian, with blood and dust all over their bodies, as if they were completely exhausted after a fight.

And for granted, Thier himself was the same.

At this time, like Vivien, Thierre leaned against the rock wall, with the most blood and dust on his body, and looked the most tired and embarrassed one among the people.

This situation reminded Thierre instantly everything.

Yes.

They were trapped.

After being trapped by the nobles who wanted her life, they appeared in the depths of the Atoru Canyon with everyone in Vivian's team and became what they are now.

Thier vaguely remembered that the nobles, with full of hatred, ordered the guards and knights around them to rush towards their group, and they fought desperately, almost fighting and fleeing for three days, and then temporarily got rid of those people and found this rather hidden cave, where they were exhausted and fainted.

Thinking of this, Thierre couldn't help but remain silent for a long time.

"I've implicated you."

After a long time, Thier said this.

"Don't say that." Vivian was still so gentle, saying, "We are companions."

Obviously, Vivian didn't want Thier to take all the mistakes on her.

But Thierre didn't accept it.

"I'm just saying that I've implicated you companions."

Thier looked at the ceiling of the cave and murmured like this.

"Of course not." Vivian said stubbornly: "Since they are companions, there is no saying whether they are implicated or not. Otherwise, Lumiya and Melika would feel guilty."

Thier could hear Vivian's implication.

Because, in the past, Thierre, as the strongest person in the team, took care of Lumiya and Melica a lot.

Lumiya and Melika felt ashamed of this more than once, and finally accepted Thierry's care because of the adventurer's idea of ​​"peers should help each other".

In such a situation, if Thierre insists that he has dragged down his companions, perhaps Lumiya and Melika will really feel guilty.

"... Then I'll change the word." Thierre was silent for a while, then sighed, "Thank you, Vivian."

Thier must give this thank you.

After all, the reason why everyone could last in this canyon for three days was because of Vivian's protection.

It was because Vivian had been blocking Thierry and others, attracting all the attacks and taking on all the damage, that Thierry and others could persist until now without any harm.

Although, it seems that it is already the limit until now.

At least, Thierre realized that Vivian's magic was on the verge of exhaustion.

If he exhausted his magic power, even Vivian would not be able to continue to use his terrifying defense to shelter his teammates from the wind and rain.

Of course, Vivian always had a smile on her face that could not be seen at all.

"No need to thank you." Vivian said as if comforting: "Don't worry, we will escape."

The gentle and kind captain kept taking care of Thierre's fragile heart.

I guess Vivian knows it too, right?

Knowing the uneasiness in Thierre.

In fact, Thierre is not afraid of death.

It would be better to say that Thierre has always been mentally prepared to die.

Because she knew the difficulties she was facing and knew more clearly how strong the person she wanted to challenge in her life was.

Faced with such a dilemma and such a strong enemy, even if you die at any time, it is nothing strange.

Therefore, Thierre has already made aware.

However, if the people around him are implicated because of their own relationship and eventually die, Thierre will not escape the blame.

This is Thierre's uneasiness.

What if you are attacked again next?

What if anyone in the team is killed because they are with him next?

You are not willing to die, but the people around you should not be implicated.

That's what Thier thought, and then he felt uneasy.

I guess Vivian noticed this uneasy and would comfort Thierre just now?

(This person is still as gentle and keen as ever...)

Thier could only smile bitterly in his heart while speaking.

"You can leave me and run away when necessary."

In this way, I believe that those who hate themselves will not force themselves to make things difficult for Vivian and others?

pity...

"Do you think I'll accept it?"

The gentleness on Vivian's face disappeared for the first time, staring at Vivian with a burning gaze.

Thierre was a little afraid to look at Vivian like this.

Because, she was afraid that Vivian would be disappointed with her.

In this world, Thierre cares about not many people, Vivian is one of them.

This person has protected Thierre from numerous malice for many years and is the object that Thierre trusts and even relies on the most.

In view of this, Thierre couldn't raise his head when facing Vivian.

only...

"I really don't want to see you die for my reasons."

Thierre couldn't help but express his thoughts.

Vivian only said one sentence about this.

"I don't want to see you die in front of me either." Vivian looked at Thierre and smiled, "So, I will definitely protect you, everyone, and take everyone in the team to leave here safely and return to the capital."

This is a vow and a determination.

"Believe me."

Vivian said to Thierre.

What is incredible is that just like this, Thierre subconsciously felt relieved and relieved.

There is no way, since the patron saint of the kingdom makes such a promise, it will definitely be able to do it.

Besides...

"I can feel that as long as I keep holding on, that person will definitely come to us."

Vivian said softly, causing Thierre's eyes to flash.

She knew who Vivian was referring to.

That is the brave man who has high hopes for him, and it is also the existence of his own wishes and hopes.

"Will he come?"

Thier whispered unconsciously.

“Yes.”

Vivian smiled sweetly, nodded, and his voice spread strongly.

"He will definitely come."

Perhaps, this is just an idea that is completely unfounded.

However, Vivian inexplicably believed in this.

That powerful tone made Thierre also give birth to hope.

If it were that person, he would definitely be able to break through this predicament with himself and others.

It doesn't matter what you say.

But Vivian and others cannot die here.

Therefore, Thierre made up his mind.

"Before he arrives, I have to hold on anyway."
