Teresa won't starve

And as long as there is a secret that cannot be communicated in the heart, there will be an invisible barrier.

This is also impossible.

"Go back when you're homesick. It's useless to think about it."

These words were completely addressed to Teresa. In her opinion, Teresa was just having a child's temper, which was completely different from her own situation, so she didn't have to worry about it like herself.

Obviously they are not the same things, but they can be said together.

These two are really...

"I see, let's open the present."

Teresa quickly picked up her mood.Anyway, as long as this dungeon is over, I can see the person who will tolerate her again, so there is no need to get too entangled.

Seeing Teresa let go of her knot, Miss Kafka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.If the child really wanted to make a fuss, there was nothing she could do about it.

A brat who can make trouble is more annoying than a husky who demolishes a house.

......

Arranging Theresa to sit by the Christmas tree, Miss Kafka took off all the red cotton socks on the tree and piled them up in front of Theresa like a hill.

Strange, are there so many?

Because her life is still relatively tight, Miss Kafka, who is saving what she can, actually doesn't buy too many of these things.

According to her memory, there should be only three or five of them, and most of them are small gadgets the size of a thumb. How could they be piled up into a mountain of gifts?

Forget it, don't think about it for now.

Miss Kafka gave part of it to Teresa, and the two worked together to separate it.

As a result, in addition to the small pendants and writing pens that had been prepared before, there were also plastic imitation jewelry. (Although Teresa can make it real, it is too precious for fear that she will not accept it, and it is difficult to explain)

Has she ever bought such a thing?

Miss Kafka suspects that she may be suffering from amnesia.

As more and more things were disassembled, Miss Kafka's suspicion became more and more serious.Especially when the gifts in the stockings include snacks.

She is real, and sure, this is definitely not pretending.

No matter what, it was impossible for Miss Kafka to put food in it.

Even if it is packaged in transparent plastic, don't worry about eating a smell of stinky socks. (Newly bought socks, where does the smell come from?)

——This child must have pretended!

Miss Kafka didn't expose it directly, and continued to pretend as before, with a look of "Have I lost my memory?" 'like continuing to unpack the package.After everything is dismantled, divide it into two small piles, which are edible and non-edible.

While thinking about what to do next.

Teresa opened one of the snacks and brought it directly to Miss Kafka's mouth.

Miss Kafka was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted and opened her mouth, biting the piece of preserved fruit and feeding it into her mouth.

Ok.

It's a bit hard on the palate, but softens quickly.

The taste is sour at first, but then - very sweet!

258 "The First Collapse"

"Um!?"

Since no one came to wake Teresa up, she woke up close to noon, and got up in a daze in surprise, and several strands of her silver hair exploded.

She subconsciously sniffed, and could vaguely smell the familiar fragrance. (Note)

According to this situation, Miss Kafka should not have been away for long.

As for why she didn't wake her up, it was probably because today was the first day of the new year, and I wanted her to sleep a little longer.

After all, Miss Kafka had been working late the night before to catch up on the draft.Theresa, who was by her side, naturally didn't go to sleep until the middle of the night.

And after getting 'adequate' sleep, Teresa just stayed there for a while, and immediately regained her energy.

He smoothed out his messy silver hair casually, and left the room without changing into other clothes, just wearing a nightgown.Returning to the first floor along the spiral staircase, as expected, I saw a busy figure.

Teresa didn't bother her either, but she just kept her walking noise down as much as possible, and came to the kitchen, which was so cold and foggy that it was almost reaching the cellar for refrigeration, and found half a semicircular cake left.

I picked up the fork and pierced it, but it felt like it was stuck on the ice, and the fork was almost bent.

Obviously, under the effect of low temperature, this thing is hard enough to be used as a murder weapon.

of course.

No matter how frozen the ordinary cream cake is, it will not be so hard.

But the cake in front of Teresa is very special——

Its name is 'Torte' which means 'cake' in German.

This cake named "cake" can be said to be the first cake in Germany, or even the world, and it is not too much to say that it is the ancestor of all cakes.

Even the locals in Germany continue to practice this kind of cake to this day.

That's right!

Neither the recipe nor the process has changed in the slightest.

And the result of this is-

Click!

Since the fork didn't work well, Teresa simply picked it up and bit it with her teeth, accompanied by a sound like chewing ice cubes, and finally concluded with one sentence: "It's really unpalatable."

The taste is sweet and sweet, the taste is very mouth-piercing, and because there is almost no moisture, it tastes particularly choking. (Note)

No wonder, compared to the cake that has been completely adapted to human tastes through countless generations, this original version is indeed not so suitable for people's appetite.

But even this can not be eliminated, it has to be said that this is a miracle.

But it was still hard to eat!

Eating this food is a way of appreciating history. People like Teresa eat it just for the sake of eating. Of course, they can't appreciate the fun at all.

So I just took a few bites and put it down.

Fortunately, for her, eating is just a habit of being a human being, not something that must be done.There is no need to force yourself to finish eating in order to fill your stomach. (Note)

"Forget it, let's go back and write novels."

In fact, compared to Miss Kafka who will be urged to write, Teresa does not need to rush to finish the work.

It's just because she doesn't have anything to do, and she depends on others, etc. In short, it's a matter of attitude.

So Teresa didn't resist much, and even thought it was not bad.

however--

Just when she was about to step over the threshold, a pressure from the sky suddenly came down.The invisible oppression that made people breathless directly made Teresa almost fall down on all fours.

"What's going on? Earthquake!?"

Teresa immediately dismissed the idea.

Although under the oppression, her vision trembled; but she was sure that the furniture around her was placed in place smoothly without being affected at all.

The only one who seems to be affected is herself.

And the pressure wasn't so much an 'earthquake' that made him unsteady, it was more like a truck coming down from overhead.

Although in terms of her strange strength, a truck can't overwhelm her.

"That's right! Femiris! What's going on? What happened?"

Teresa, who couldn't wake up for the time being, chose to throw this question to the portable AI; but Miss AI fell into silence, and had no intention of answering the question at all.

"Fimilis? Fimilis!!"

Feeling something was wrong, Teresa twisted her head sideways under the pressure.

Then I saw a beautiful blond girl floating beside her like a female ghost, with a large amount of data flowing horizontally in her red eyes.

Obviously, due to the huge amount of calculations, Fimilis' AI intelligence was over-occupied, and she couldn't respond to Teresa immediately.

Of course, it may also be purely 'not heard'.

Seeing this situation, Teresa raised her right hand with difficulty, and grabbed Fimilis's calf, forcibly interfering with Fimilis' logical calculations through touch.

Don't forget, although Fimilis is a projection of a human form, she has a substance to Teresa and the principal.

"[Surprised]! ? 』

The data flow in the red eyes emptied instantly, and he focused on Theresa, as if asking her what she wanted to do.

"Fimilis, what happened?"

Fimilis was silent for a while, just when Teresa thought she was about to start overload calculation again, Fimilis answered Teresa's question not so sure.

『【Guess】Because the time is too short, the results cannot be fully calculated... Femiris can only tell the captain that this should be a large-scale collapse. 』

"Massive collapse?"

As if remembering something, Teresa directly called up her character card, ignored almost all attributes, and only focused on the SP column.

SP：145+60+60+60(+36/h)+60+60+122(+2/s)/145+60（菲米莉丝增幅）+60（卡莲Lily）+60（诗音）+60（阿凛）+60（梦魇黑猫）

Her SP, or Honkai energy reserve, has already begun to exceed the upper limit?

This is not a good thing!

Because the upper limit itself represents endurance, once the upper limit is broken, her body will start to be eroded by the Houkai energy.

And the result of being eroded by Houkai energy is to become a dead soldier.

of course.

Theresa herself is a fusion warrior, and she still has the blood and core of the Herrscher in her body. It is not easier to turn her into a dead warrior than to directly create a Herrscher, so there is no need to worry about any problems in a short time.

but!

Don't worry about herself, what about others?

259 "Stigmata"

It just so happened that her body had gradually adapted to the pressure, and Teresa was finally able to get out of the prostrate state; after climbing up by holding on to the door frame, she walked towards Miss Kafka's place in the living room.

Sure enough, after walking a few steps, she saw Miss Kafka who had fallen to the ground next to the chair.

Judging from her appearance, she should have passed out, but there was still a faint pain on her pale cheeks.The only thing that is more fortunate is that there are no deadly white spots on her face.

This at least proves that Miss Kafka is still safe.

It may also be that the place where the dead are transformed is relatively hidden, hidden somewhere that Teresa can't see at present.

So even though she couldn't exert any strength, Teresa still helped Miss Kafka up, took her to the sofa and sat down.After a little hesitation, he untied the collar of Kafka's clothes, wanting to see if there were any white spots on her body.

But as the button of the collar was undone, Teresa saw something else.

It was like a blood vessel exposed outside the body, like a heart shining with pulsating red light, looming as if it would disappear at any time, but it always stubbornly proved its existence.

This red thing that stings people's eyes looks like some kind of bad thing parasitic on the human body.But precisely because of its existence, the Houkai energy that is free in the air is blocked outside the body.

"Stigmata!"

Teresa recognized this kind of thing, so she naturally wouldn't treat it as a parasite.

This is a by-product of the research on Herrschers and Fusion Warriors in the last era. It is the anti-Honkai factor residing in the human body, and it is also the most precious treasure left to mankind in the last era.

However, with the continuation of generations of human beings, the original complete pattern was split into incomplete remnants.Not only did it cause the power to be split into many unequal parts, it even greatly reduced the probability of its successful awakening.

So far, there are only very few cases of truly awakening the stigmata.

And that doesn't include Teresa.

That's right, Teresa does have stigmata.

But that stigmata came for nothing, and she didn't awaken it by herself, and it is still in a sealed state.

Even her genuine fusion fighter can't awaken the stigmata, which shows how low the probability of this thing's awakening is.
