In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Because she couldn't think of anything that could make Maria so upset.

"nothing……"

"Yeah……"

Maria didn't answer, and Lamaren wouldn't ask specifically.

She just rested her head on Maria's chest, quietly enjoying the softness.

And this time, Maria reached out her hand for the first time ever and gently stroked her hair...

"Maybe...it's almost time for me to leave."

In the darkness, a sudden voice rang out, startling Ramalen.

But after a moment, she calmed down again.

This day would come sooner or later, she just didn't expect... it would come so soon...

After a moment of surprise, she became quiet again.

The hand holding Maria tightened slightly.

She tried to bury her head deeper in the girl's arms, greedily devouring her tenderness.

"Is... the war about to end?"

"……Yes."

Maria raised her head slightly and exhaled.

The war is coming to an end.

After realizing the movements of the evil demon, Maria was almost certain that the ordinary soldiers did not have the ability to deal with monsters of this level.

Even if Maria said that she would not launch an attack, in the eyes of those people, she was still in a dilemma with demons behind her and Sarkaz in front of her.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely use the method Kel'tsit taught them...

Summon the power of a behemoth...

And once it gets to that point, the situation will be irreversible.

And Maria will inevitably expose her existence.

That's why she told the girl that the war was about to end...

She will join the battle.

"Really... it's almost over..."

In fact, until now, Ramalen has not seen any signs that the war will end. At least, in the eyes of almost all Sarkaz people, the war has just begun.

But she also knew that Maria was not the kind of person who would just talk... Since she had said that the war would end, then the war would really end.

only……

Pursing her lips, she turned over and lay gently in Maria's arms like a cat, motionless.

"After the war... everything will be fine, right?"

"I do not know."

Maria had no way of judging something she was not familiar with.

She is just a hunter, and her active place is the battlefield, not the scenery after the war.

So she couldn't give the girl any verbal promises.

Whether the future is good or bad, girls need to find it themselves.

"Um……"

Ramalen buried her face in the other's arms, making a buzzing sound.

The exhaled air hit Maria's chest without any warning.

No matter how weak she appears in front of Maria, Lamaren is, after all, the lord of the banshees and a prominent leader.

Even at this point, she couldn't bring herself to vent her emotions and could only mumble in a melancholy voice.

Maria also let out a sigh after a long silence.

"Perhaps... this is what you wish for, puppet."

Maria tilted her head back slightly.

It seems to be communicating with that distant person.

But obviously, they couldn't do that at the moment... This was just Maria's unconscious feeling.

The puppet has been trying hard to free Maria from Yharnam's nightmare since a long time ago... After all, in her opinion, Yharnam is already a thing of the past, and Maria shouldn't force herself to become a crazy hunter.

She deserves a peaceful dream without any disturbance.

But obviously, such a wish cannot be fulfilled just like that.

At least, before Maria's personality changes, the nightmares about Yharnam will never bring her peace.

But at this time...

"Doll?"

Lamaren raised her head from Maria's chest and looked at Maria.

This doesn't sound like a name a person should have, does it?

Although it was dark, Maria could still clearly touch the girl's neck.

"Eh?"

The sudden action made Ramalen's heart beat wildly, but Maria did not intend to explain anything.

She just parted her lips slightly.

The fangs that had been hidden for who knows how long appeared again, and she gently pressed them against Lamaren's neck...

"Wait...this..."

The strange touch was in a strange position, and Lamaren could even feel Maria's movements that seemed like a pre-meal etiquette!

A numb feeling followed.

Maria, what are you doing?!

Yes...want to do it?

But why at this time?

"It's just a little gift."

Maria didn't say much, and gently tapped the girl's shoulder with her sharp teeth.

The slight stinging pain made Lamaren involuntarily shrink her body.

She could feel that Maria was not sucking her blood. On the contrary, she was carefully supplying something to her at a certain frequency.

Within a few breaths, she could feel her body starting to heat up...

It wasn't the shy burning sensation from before, but a kind of heat that she could truly feel spreading from deep within her heart...

She felt that her blood seemed to be fighting with her body. The violent blood seemed to have its own soul and began to be dissatisfied with being a transporter in her body.

The flesh and blood began to struggle, and the bones became their battlefield, pulling and fighting each other!

"Forehead……"

The piercing pain made her struggle and arch her body, but the pain was beyond her comprehension and she couldn't make a single sound!

but……

"Relax..."

A deep, dark voice, like the bewitching power of a demon, reached her ears and penetrated her blood...

Maria reached out her hand and gently pressed it on her chest.

The delicate fingers seemed to touch the heart directly through the flesh and blood, and the raging blood slowly calmed down.

After a long time, her vision slowly recovered...

The sweat from my body soaked the bed.

Breathing also became a little abnormal.

But what surprised Lamaren the most was that after Maria gave her something, there was no trace of the originally dark environment left.

Although her vision was still slightly dark, she could clearly see the cold woman pressing on her.

She just like that, silently withdrew her kiss...

"What's this?"

The strange feeling made Lamaren a little surprised. She could feel the active blood in her body...

With every breath, she felt her body undergoing a transformation.

She is now... so strong!

"Perhaps, we can meet again after a long time."

Maria didn't know how much the blood she injected into Ramalen could extend her lifespan, but at least, Kal'tsit appeared in this era, so this place should not be too far from the world she was familiar with.

With the blessing of his own blood, the two of them might meet again one day.

Stroking Ramalen's neck and looking at her miserable appearance, she whispered again, silently lifted the girl's hand which had no strength to lift up, and touched it lightly to her lips.

"Can I have this...?"

Maria stretched out her hand. On her left hand, she still wore the ring that concealed her identity, the ring of the Banshee Princess...

La Marina also looked at Maria's actions in astonishment, her pupils widened and she couldn't say anything.

By now, Maria should understand the meaning of the ring.

but……

She wants it?

She is...

Lamaren couldn't tell what she was thinking. She could only feel her voice becoming very obscure and shy...

"Ah."

She wants Maria to keep the ring.

Maria didn't say much, just put it on her hand and exhaled slightly.

"I don't know why I made such a promise, but... Lamaren, I'm willing to give it a try."

She looked at Lamaren beside her, stroking her hair and whispering.

"I may have been dwelling in the past for too long, but now is the time for me to try something new, something unfamiliar to me..."

"Lamaren, I have no feelings for you... I believe you understand this."

"We can call each other friends, or even close friends, but obviously, these are not what we call affection and love."

"These are all too strange and inappropriate for you and me."

"But... maybe it's my narcissism, but I'm willing to give it a try."

Maria said, and while Lamaren was stunned, she kissed her silently.

But this time...

It was a real kiss.

Lamaren could even feel the tense and uneasy contact between the two...

It was at this moment that Lamaren discovered, to her surprise, that Maria wasn't as calm and composed as she appeared to be. She would still get nervous when encountering unfamiliar things...

For example... now...

Maria had never been exposed to such a thing before, and she mustered up all the courage to give him this kiss!

Its attack is even more disorganized!
