Tiamoni was sniffing softly. The light shone through the transparent skin.
"Shee-ee-ee! How nice! Go on, monster with hundreds of hands. You're doing great.
Shee-ee-ee! Is this heaven and earth for me alone? Thank you, you are so generous!
Shee-shee-ee-ee!"
The girl yawned.
"What? Where am I? Wait a minute… I'm alive! Alive!"
Tiamoni felt her body, which had returned to its previous form: the pae had stabilized. And she again had the appearance of a girl. And not a melted wax figure.
The old ugliness on half of the face, of course, remained, but at the moment Tiamoni was delighted.
[ O Supreme One, my prayers have been heard by you for once. Shee-shee-shee!
The Light that gives health is just a gift of the Highest! ]
A yellow vortex was moving in the flask.
"Oh, yes! Yellow thigh rank! And who is the defective one now? And who is now an incompetent and ugly? Definitely not me. Nope! Triple nope! Nope, nope, nope!
Ah! Shee-shee-shee! It remains only to absorb the corpse of pathokion and get additional pae!"
One-eyed jumped up, wanting to dance – the mood changed immediately when she looked in front of her.
"What the…"
The girl froze with her mouth slightly open.
Romulus was lying on the floor of the cave, clutching the throat of dead pathokion.
One-eye hurriedly checked the boy's pulse and pae condition:
"Thank you to the Supreme, alive! I was already prepared for the worst."
Realizing that Romulus was safe, Tiamoni giggled into her fist.
[ And my little samon has fangs. Strangled pathokion!
Although he was wounded, he was still a yellow thigh rank spirit.
Kill with just his jaws, but this boy is not as harmless as it may seem! Shee-shee-shee! ]
The one-eyed girl checked the boy's jaws: the pae of life had reached the limit in them.
"We need to fix it, otherwise my baby may inadvertently leave his teeth in the carcass of ranon!"
Romulus tried rise up.
"Stop!"
It's too late: the guy's lower jaw and upper teeth have come off.
Tiamoni's eyes bulged.
Romulus rubbed his eyelids and looked at Tiamoni. She stared back in silence.
[ Wow! My jaw just hurts like hell! I can't even move it. Pain takes the second place in the Top of Pain. }
Romulus touched the place where he expected to find the jaw, but found something soft.
[ Heh-heh… this is not a complete El-ludas, but El-Ludas is not a small one, I would say... if I could. ]
"Romulus... are you ... are you ... in ... pain?"
The youngster raised his eyebrows.
"I'll be right there! I... please be patient!"
The girl began to pull out the guy's jaw and teeth from the wound.
The first extracted tooth, which looked more like a piece of glass, hastened to escape from Tiamoni's palm.
"Pae speed?! Mount Shimare! If my pae were more stable, I would have caught up with you, sweet tooth!"
Tiamoni pulled out the subsequent teeth with more care.
"Don't be afraid! You'll be fine soon, Romulus.
Let's put the lower jaw back in its rightful place. That's it! The light that gives health! W-w-wacth? H-how is new... new jaw."
Tiamoni held her cheek: she had to sacrifice the stability of her own jaw. Fortunately, the body of a yellow thigh is equivalent to a hundred red feet.
[ And his jaw was torn off – not a tear, who is he? ]
Then the teeth went.
"Ay-ay-ay! Tell the truth, are you made of bricks or are you really able to endure such pain?"
Of course, Tiamoni was only acting out her torment.
"No, I just try to think about more pleasant things, for example, about flowers. Roses are best of all."
"That's how it is."
[ But besides this, the developed tolerance to pain also helps me. ]
"You know, killing a pathokion with bare teeth is cool. But why didn't you use the dagger?"
"Another seizure occurred. At the most critical moment. The only thing that worked was the jaw muscles."
Tiamoni looked down when she heard about the seizure.
Romulus sighed inwardly.
[ As if the past or this world, art or pae, the life of one person or an entire empire, everything has a limit. Disadvantage. The end... ]
Romulus remembered about the abandoned country and his son, reflexively clenched his fist.
[ Hehe, I'm thinking too much about what I can't do again – at the moment… We need to distract ourselves… ]
Tiamoni shows that she is sorry. She can pretend, but this situation is unlikely, or the game of a fourteen-year-old child is worthy of the praise of great actors.
[ I think this girl really shows a genuine feeling of love for me. Wonderful, very wonderful. ]
"Don't worry, it's not your fault. No one is to blame.
I was born that way, heh-heh. I had a seizure, but it didn't stop me from saving you, see?
Difficulties are unpleasant, no one in our world will argue, but after seven thousand troubles and mistakes, did Kela give up searching for his brother?"
"No," Tiamoni smiled slightly, " the venerable son of the Monster of the World continued on his way, no matter what. Even after Sola's death, he never lost faith in his resurrection.
"Yes, someone, but this guy definitely adheres to the slogan: "I will go as long as it is possible and impossible. And even in other cases, I will keep going! Go while there are legs. Crawl while your heart is beating." Bite while you have teeth!
"Shee-shee-shee! Laugh until an evil uncle comes to your laughter!"
"Be happy while a cool friend who knows jokes is around!"
"Hope while the glass is half full!"
"Fight as long as you believe in your own coolness! Heh-heh!"
"Search until there is at least one place where you haven't been beaten to death!"
"And continue! No matter what! Even when the continuer broke down!"
"Continuer?! O Supreme One! Shee-shee-shee!"
(In Future)
A pile of stones, the fragrance of blood.
What was a sad person became a sad dead man with a yellow eye.
For such is the fate: people hurt people ... saints and sinners.
(Now)
The boy and the girl laughed and laughed.
Tiamoni wiped away a tear:
"My little eye is already wet! You're a cool kid, even if you're half his age.
My conditions are fulfilled, and I do not intend to break my promise."
"Heal Dr. Chu and my mother. Just stabilize your father's condition."
Tiamoni coughed,
"She can cure all three of them. Just give the order."
"Are you offering to sacrifice you?"
"Romulus, I... I have no one"
the girl approached Chu and Suzanne and used the Light That Gives Health.
"My life is not as valuable as you imagine, Romulus. So what if I broke through to the rank of yellow thigh? Shee-shee-shee!
If you ask me, I will completely heal your family at the cost of my life."
One-eye hovered over Henry and looked questioningly at Romulus.
"I'm still a stranger."
"Tiamoni, stop it. Bring Chu to his senses. The three of us will be able to carry Mom and dad home. There is a large supply of medicines there. This is, first of all, hehe.
Secondly, Tiamoni, you yourself shouted that you wanted to live."
"Yes, I want to. But at your request, I may not want to. Shee-shee-shee!"
The girl ran her hand over Henry's body.
The wounds were slightly healed. Tiamoni's head was spinning, but she could still stand.
"Well, since you don't want to, then I'll probably live a little... Shee-shee-shee!"
Romulus chuckled:
"By the way, about "I want" and "I don't want". What were you going to ask, Tiamoni?"
"Um ... it's nothing, let's forget it!"
"In the face of death, people are unlikely to think about nonsense."
Tiamoni opened her mouth, but did not dare to speak.
"Hehe, you don't have to tell me."
"What are you…"
Romulus took a couple of steps and stood on tiptoe. A sweet smile hung in front of the girl's face. She was missing one tooth, so let it be. Tiamoni was in a stupor.
"Romulus, what are you... what are you..."
"Don't you like it?"
"A-a-a... just... just... you know... just..." Tiamoni jammed.
Romulus hugged her tightly:
"Don't say that your life is not valuable."
A sweet smile came closer to the girl's face. Tiamoni became cramped. She couldn't get enough air.
"Romulus, wait!"
[ Before the breakthrough, she was more relaxed. Most likely, then Tiamoni had the initiative and relative control over the situation.
Right now, hehe, right now she's in a passive position. Tiamoni is confused, her emotions are mixed up. ]
"Why?"
"I... you're feeling better… In short, it's better not to kiss me."
"Why?" Romulus cocked his head to one side.
Tiamoni shivered.
[ He's so cute, just a kitten. Mount Shimare, what is happening to me?! ]
"Are you sure?"
"Please! I really want to thank you for your help."
[ And I got used to the role quite well. Small, cute, persistent. Tiamoni is torn by doubts. I must completely suppress them. ]
"Tiamoni isfunny, brave and sympathetic – I like you."
Romulus' lips touched Tiamoni.
[ He's going to be sick, and my heart will feel pain again. ] Tiamoni tensed
But Romulus' lips continued to kiss Tiamoni.
One-eye's heart was filled with heat.
[ Romulus, aren't you really disgusted? ]
The boy's lips gently slid aside, kissing his bare teeth, frozen in an eternal grin.
Tiamoni put aside all doubts and just enjoyed the moment.
"I need you. Please come with me to the Mushroom Village."
"Yes ... Romulus."
Tiamoni touched her face. It was just a kiss, on the contrary, one-eyed had never felt such an influx of energy.
[ So, it seems to have worked. Tiamoni fell head over heels in love with me.
Thanks to the appearance, the skills of the actor and the visibility of human thoughts.
What kind of Sharon am I after all-to play on the feelings and dreams of the lost…
However, I have no other lever of pressure on the yellow thigh expert, and Tiamoni is very useful.
The more loyal she is to me, the more likely my family is to return home unharmed. I can't carry a comatose father and a legless mother myself.
Besides ... Henry's time is limited. Even when I was born, he was ill. According to optimistic forecasts, he has less than a dozen years left, but hoping for an accident is a bad idea.
I don't want to hurt Tiamoni. I will give her warmth and care – on the other hand, I will use her for my own purposes. This can't be called parasitism, right?..
No matter… In any case, you need to gain strength: subordinates, influence and knowledge-in order to find a way to return to your native world... if it exists, of course. ]
Romulus looked at Susannah, Henry, and Chu, who were sleeping peacefully.
[ But I must admit, living in the new world is not as hard as it could be, hehe. ]
