Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

Chapter 34: Old Father

"Painter, you are back."

"

Hey, who is she? Is she the one you are looking for? "

"Wow, you are so beautiful. You look even more beautiful than the painter. Painter, is this your companion? Are all your companions as beautiful as her?"

Anita looked at the short-haired woman in a nun's outfit who was following Laurentina.

After hearing the girl's words, Zuo Jian suddenly felt a strange sense of crisis spreading around him.

[Ahem, the kid was just joking.]

"Ah, she is, ah yes, that's right, she is my companion."

"Really? Did you finally find your companion? This way, you don't have to ask Grandma Petra..."

Looking at the expressionless nun behind Laurentina, Anita's tone, which was initially somewhat happy, seemed to have realized something, but gradually became a little lost.

She lowered her head and her voice was a little low.

"So you...are you leaving now..."

The girl spoke without even realizing that her voice was as small as a mosquito.

But the next moment, a gentle touch came from above her head, and Anita looked up to see Laurentina's smiling face.

"How could that be? I have more than one person to look for, and I can't spare the time for now."

"Right, Miss Sister."

[....]

Realizing that there seemed to be some other meaning in Laurentina's words, Zuo Jian did not directly sink his consciousness into the body, but spoke stiffly as if he was controlling a puppet.

"That's right...comrades, there are still many to be found."

"Really? That's great... No, no, that's not what I meant. I meant..."

Laurentina looked at Anita, who was trying to correct her words but couldn't find the right words, and felt strange sympathy for a moment.

"Oh, oh, painter, just now, Mu Tong came back and told everyone that today is not the day to distribute food, so we have no food."

"The barrel..."

Zuo Jian sighed and then said

[I did it. If nothing unexpected happens, he was going to feed the sea creatures. As for why the coastline was littered with the bodies of the sea creatures for the villagers to eat, it was probably related to the Deep Sea Church.]

"Painter, are you hungry?"

Anita tugged at Laurentina's dress, and then, without even waiting for a reply, she reached into her purse.

"Actually, I secretly hid a little bit of food before...By the way, painter, please don't tell anyone. I know it's not good to hide things, but if I don't do this, I will always be hungry...I found it, here it is!"

Anita rummaged through the bag and found a dried scaly claw. The shrunken surface gave off a disgusting stench.

"......"

Laurentina silently looked at the "food" handed to her by the latter

[The front paws of the sea urchin are the kind that can stand on all fours, and seem to be called a terrified fish.]

"...Have they been eating these things all along?"

[It shouldn't take long. The amount of seaweed taken into the body is not much. ... It can be saved.]

"Painter, remember to give me the bones after you finish eating, so that we can make a pot of soup...Painter? Why don't you take it..."

Anita watched Laurentina silently looking at her front paw, then seemed to realize something and answered embarrassedly.

"By the way...Painter, you are from the outside world, where you can eat your fill every day. You look down on these foods, right?"

"But, I'm sorry... these are all I can offer. Can you please not despise me?"

As she spoke, she handed the food forward again as if she was worried about being rejected.

"Aren't you hungry?"

Laurentina took Haisi's front paw and asked.

"Hey, I'm not hungry anymore—"

"Gu————"

The rumbling of my stomach came at an inopportune moment.

Of course it couldn't be Laurentina's. After combining with Zuo Jian, the body didn't need to make such meaningless movements to remind itself that it needed nutrients.

"Well, well, actually, there is a little bit."

Anita raised her hand, expressing only a little meaning.

[She was severely malnourished and had not consumed the essential elements needed by the human body for a long time.]

However, facing Anita's evasive response, Zuo Jian directly put the reality in front of Laurentina.

"But painter, you are a guest, Grandma Petra said..."

Before Anita could finish her words, Laurentina had already taken the front paw that she handed over.

"Really? I see. Thank you, little Anita."

"Painter, why don't you eat?"

However, the girl just watched Laurentina put that part of her front paw into her pocket.

"If you don't eat it, the bones..."

"Little Anita, in our place, it is very rude to take back something you have given away."

Laurentina patted her head.

"But, in this case, bone soup..."

"Don't worry. Since we've accepted your food, we'll give you something in return."

“Is this also a custom outside?”

The latter asked with some confusion.

"Ah... yes, it is indeed the custom outside."

At least that's what Zuo Jian told her.

"Then... please."

She turned her head and glanced at the nun behind her.

At this moment, Anita suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something extra in the nun's eyes.

She couldn't describe it, but it just became more lively.

"You are such a self-centered person. You do whatever you want and are so willful."

The girl also discovered that the nun suddenly spoke much more fluently.

"I'm sorry...I just..."

At this moment, Laurentina really lowered her head like a child admitting her mistake.

Then the nun touched her head and also touched Anita's head.

"But I think Laurentina is pretty cute when she's so willful about this kind of thing."

"But...cute....what are you talking about!"

Without waiting for her to speak, the nun jumped lightly onto the wall and directly reached the roof.

"Wow, Painter, your friend is amazing. He can jump so high in one go."

Anita looked in surprise as Zuo Jian's figure quickly disappeared from her sight.

"Yeah, he's pretty awesome, right?"

When Laurentina heard Anita's praise, she couldn't help but speak with a hint of pride.

"Ahem, anyway, let's find a place to rest and wait for him to come back."

"Oh? Aren't you going to go look for Grandma Petra?"

"No hurry."

.......

...

.

There are almost no marine fish to catch in coastal areas.

The desolation of the surrounding area also basically cuts off the possibility of normal material supply.

Moreover, the surrounding land seems to be saline-alkali terrain, no wonder no crops can grow.

He put down the soil in his hand and sighed.

Zuo Jian looked around and saw that there was still a chance to capture creatures like birds in the sea area near the previous laboratory.

Those should be a rare regular food source.

If we go at full speed...it would take about five minutes to go back and forth.

He whispered, and then his legs reshaped into a recurved structure similar to a locust.

I'm not used to using wings and the like.

..........

......

..

In a deserted room somewhere in Saltwind City.

"Teacher, how are you?"

Elini looked at her teacher, who had been reading the Inquisitor's scriptures since the beginning.

"I'm fine, just a little concerned about something."

"really?"

"Dong dong dong..."

But the next moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Without hesitation, Elini subconsciously put her hands on her waist.

"No hostility, Eileeny, put away your sword."

Dario squinted his eyes and waved.

"....yes!"

His student put down his hand obediently, then walked to the door and opened the handle.

"Hello, are you the Inquisitor?"

Elini was stunned. Outside the door, a woman with a face covered in scarlet blood was standing there, holding three dead feathered beasts. She exuded a weird and ominous aura.

“Wa ...

She was so scared that she subconsciously wanted to take the hand cannon at her waist, but the next moment she suddenly remembered that the teacher was still behind her. After forcibly suppressing her impulse and loss of composure, she looked at the other person with some trembling.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to wipe my face."

After realizing that he seemed to have scared the other person, Zuo Jian wiped the blood off his face, then looked at Elini with a kind expression again.

“So… so beautiful…”

The latter saw that when the blood on the face was wiped off, what was left was an almost flawless face, but why...

How similar is he to that bounty hunter? ! !
