Very suspicious.
So she decided to get closer to take a look and asked her questions at the same time.
"Why are you guys at the beach at night?"
Sera kept a smile on her face due to her professionalism as a maid.
"We are tourists, of course we are here to have fun. But before asking others, we should introduce ourselves," Sera looked at the sword on Hill's waist, "You are carrying a weapon, you are not a Goldian, and you are wandering on the coast at night. You are the real danger, right?"
"…Sorry for scaring you." Hill took a few steps back.
Xia Yi, who was hiding behind Sera, felt a little strange. Why did this voice sound familiar?
Well……
I always feel like it's someone I know.
This is human.
Xia Yi remembered one thing, which was a piece of information that Jill had voluntarily provided today. Some time ago, some strangers came to Seaside City and claimed to be from Laurel College.
Could it be that this is a student from Laurel College?
She stuck her head out and looked outside.
I realized that he was really wearing the Laurel Academy uniform.
Speaking of which, Xia Yi had only heard of Laurel College. She knew that it was a well-known college in the Rhine Country that gathered many talents, even some foreigners.
Laurel College once invited him to give a lecture.
I originally agreed, but unfortunately I went to challenge the Silver Dragon Queen and didn’t go in the end...
This is all I know about Laurel College.
The students over there are really not afraid of death. They even come to such a hellish place.
Xia Yi thought.
Of course, Hill also saw Xia Yi. A rather strange feeling arose in her heart, and she became inexplicably concerned about this silver-haired girl.
"The coast at night is very dangerous, especially for someone like you who is alone. You need to pay more attention to your safety," Xia Yi kindly reminded, "You should go back earlier!"
"..."
"Let's go, Sera."
Xia Yi pulled Sera's sleeve.
After taking a look at the strange woman, Celado left with Xia Yi.
"As you command, young lady."
Xia Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Really, I saved your life.
Fortunately, this student from Laurel Academy is not that arrogant. If his attitude was a little more arrogant and angered Sera, who knows what his personal maid would do.
It would be pitiful if this girl ended up like Jill.
"Miss, do we still want to continue shopping here?" Sera asked.
"No, it seems like there's no result. Let's go back! I'm a little sleepy and want to go to bed."
"Didn't you sleep before dinner?"
"That doesn't count. Naps don't count as sleep!"
"So, what do you plan to eat before going to bed?"
"What, is there anything delicious?!
"Yes, this is a coastal city with lots of seafood. I can help you make some barbecue that you don't normally eat..."
"Okay, okay! I'm not sleepy anymore!"
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Hill was a little absent-minded.
“…He left.”
She just had a feeling that the very beautiful maid was very dangerous, especially the look she left before leaving, which even triggered her fighting instinct.
"They say they are tourists. How could they possibly travel to such a hellhole?" Hill muttered.
If I remember correctly, the residents of Seaside City are not very friendly, and there are local gangs.
If you are just an ordinary traveler, it is impossible for you to get here, and you will probably be targeted by someone on the road.
This made her even more convinced that these two people were not simple.
The powerful red-haired maid, and the mysterious...silver-haired lady.
Especially the silver-haired eldest lady. When she warned him of the danger, Hill actually felt a sense of familiarity in his heart and couldn't help wanting to get closer.
"What's wrong with me? Why do I have such thoughts about a loli?"
Hill quickly clasped his hands together.
"I'm sorry, Master! Please forgive my hesitation just now. It's because my practice is not good enough!"
……
midnight.
Xia Yi lay on her bed, hugging her pillow, feeling half asleep and half awake.
I couldn't open my eyes. It seemed that my consciousness was not completely asleep. I could even realize that I was... dreaming.
In the dream, I fell into the ocean.
Wrapped in the sea water, I kept sinking but not drowning. I watched the sunlight shining on the sea surface getting farther and farther away.
But the strange thing is that even though my body was sinking into the deep sea, I didn't feel a trace of coldness, and instead I had an inexplicable sense of security.
Even my body didn’t want to struggle, I thought, let it be.
Maybe letting nature take its course is a good choice.
In the sound of the flowing sea water, there is a wonderful sound——
singing.
Deep in the ocean, someone is singing.
I couldn't hear clearly what was being sung. The more I tried to hear it clearly, the more vague the song became.
But even if you can't hear it clearly, the singing makes people very yearning for it, as if it has a mysterious charm.
I felt like I was almost at the bottom of the sea.
"Uh……"
Xia Yi opened her eyes and looked up, seeing a strange ceiling.
She blinked her eyes and it took her dozens of seconds to realize that she was not in the sea but in a hotel room. What just happened was a dream, not reality.
And Sera was sleeping peacefully in another bed.
Xia Yi slowly stood up, dragged her pillow, walked to Sera's bed, and stood there, looking at her personal maid.
Almost a minute passed.
Xia Yi shook her head.
What am I doing? If Sera opens her eyes and sees me like this, she will be terrified!
The little princess left Sera's bed, walked to the window, pulled open the curtains and looked outside.
At this time, the seaside city had completely entered the silent midnight, without any lights.
Everyone must be asleep.
A cloudless moonlit night, the tranquil sea, the illusory moon in the sea, and the bright moonlight spread over the coast, like a natural stage. Standing in the hotel, you can clearly see everything over there.
"Who is that?"
Xia Yi lost all sleepiness in an instant.
She saw an extremely beautiful girl standing in the sea, looking at her from afar, with a mysterious smile on her face, and then her lips opened and closed, as if she was saying something.
12 The Voice of the Sea (Updated)
Xia Yi saw that the girl in the sea was smiling at her.
She had never seen this girl before and didn't even feel the slightest bit of familiarity with her.
Why is there a strange girl in the sea late at night?
I happened to be looking at the window of the hotel.
This level of weirdness cannot be described as coincidence.
Without thinking too much, she took action directly, climbed out of the window and jumped out.
The white soles of her feet touched the tree trunk, and Xia Yi landed steadily on the tree. She used her identity to quickly shuttle through the city, constantly rushing towards the coast.
Now there was only one thought in her mind.
Hurry and meet this girl.
Bathed in the moonlight, Xia Yi rushed to the beach on the coast.
"Where? Where!"
She walked to the seashore, and could not see any girls in her sight, only the vast sea.
"Gone?"
Xia Yi frowned.
How is this going?
She looked back and saw a series of small footprints left on the beach behind her under the bright moonlight, nothing else.
