For a moment, Su'er thought he was dead, that he had left that world full of death and lifelessness and returned to the place where he was in his previous life. However, the next second, his eyes told him that this was just a delusion.
Unlike the small pool at the very beginning, this place was more accurately called a lake than a pool - it was too big.
The only thing that made Su'er feel familiar was the simple wooden house he had built with his own hands... And only that wooden house remained. The land was also only the area around the wooden house with flowers and plants. Besides that, it was a body of water, like a small island in the center of a lake, the wooden house was surrounded.
Rockeries with flowers and plants were scattered in the lake water. The one Su'er was leaning against at the moment was the largest one. What he could smell when he took a deep breath was the familiar smell of medicinal herbs, and if he reached out with his hand, he could also scoop up floating grass leaves. It was a deep green lake.
Looking around, a bold idea suddenly popped into Su'er's mind - could it be that this entire lake was medicine?
Wasn't that a little too luxurious?
Flowers of unknown names were blooming from the lake water. In just a few seconds after Su'er woke up, he saw a flower bud gradually raising its head in front of him, and then its petals bloomed. Specks of light spilled from the stamens, like stars.
Beautiful... Su'er stared at all this blankly, and then he suddenly slapped his cheek hard, because compared to this lake that could still be explained, shouldn't he be paying more attention to the things floating in the air above the lake?!
The various objects made of translucent blue starlight that he had seen at Okan's place before were floating above his head, like clouds. They were models that Okan had created after Su'er's oral description. Without exception, they were things that Su'er had seen in his previous life.
However, at this moment, they were not the size that models should have. Except for a few special things, the rest were undoubtedly the size they should be.
He stared blankly at the refrigerator standing in front of the wooden house on the small island in the center of the lake. The door of the refrigerator was wide open, and from the gap in the door, Su'er could even see white mist slowly floating out - was that cold air?
Wait a minute, since it's already a refrigerator, why is it still a translucent starlight body?!
To be honest, it was because of this fantastical color that Su'er didn't react immediately after waking up, so... what was Think doing?!
No, it should be, what did Think do?!
And what about that Flügel?!
That's right, the ring that shackled Think's elves had been directly torn to pieces by that pink-haired Flügel little girl. Now she was free from all restraints and had her full power...
Su'er's heart suddenly sank.
Would she still remember the agreement?
She should... According to that Elf's personality, she shouldn't deny it...
While his mind was racing, Su'er suddenly saw something floating past him on the water.
A pair of white wings paddled on the water like oars, moving that small body forward. The fair legs were stretched straight, and the instep and calf were in a straight line - huh?
As if having a sudden seizure, Su'er's body trembled from his fingers to his lips. He pointed at this object floating past him with a trembling finger, and he couldn't say a single word for a long time.
Isn't this the Flügel?!
He would never mistake those wings. Even the somewhat tattered clothes from the series of explosions were still on her, and even though they were soaked in the pool water, they perfectly served the purpose of blocking the view.
But why was she still here?!
No, no, what he should be asking is - why did she look so friendly and kind, playing in the water?!!
Although Su'er couldn't say a word for a long time, the splashing water he made from the violent fluctuations in his heart easily attracted the attention of that Flügel with excellent perception.
Suddenly sitting up from a face-down position, the pink-haired Flügel little girl sat cross-legged on the water, bobbing up and down.
Seeing Su'er who still hadn't reacted, and whose outstretched finger was still trembling in the air without being withdrawn, the Flügel tilted her head slightly and smiled.
"Oh? The human is awake?"
She addressed him by his race in a very friendly manner. In Su'er's current impression, only Okan and this Flügel had called him that. She was as friendly as an old friend.
"Geez, you've slept for too long, haven't you? Even with so many medicinal herbs and a recovery magic circle, it took so long. Is the human race's body as frail as yours? To be honest, I'm a little impatient from waiting..."
She hugged her arms and muttered. Without even finishing a single sentence, the pink-haired Flügel straightened her body and stretched.
"..."
To be honest, this overly friendly attitude made Su'er not know how to respond. Judging from the Flügel attitude, it was as if their previous battle and pain were all fake, but that murderous intent and the desperate desire for the other person to die were not fake.
Was this a disguise? Or was it just a simple-mindedness?
Even now, Su'er could feel his internal organs and bones trembling in pain. His fists seemed to still have the unique feel of hitting this Flügel body.
Remaining silent, Su'er felt that he needed Think's explanation.
"Hmm? Why aren't you talking? Did you become mute after the fight?", Su'er's reluctance to speak seemed to have made the Flügel misunderstand something. Her small wings quickly paddled on the water, bringing her to Su'er.
"That shouldn't be the case, should it? Didn't that weed say that all the injuries on your body have been healed? She even referred to our Flügel recovery magic circle... Heh, is it really just the level of a weed?", the pink-haired Flügel was poking around and observing Su'er's body, and she was still muttering to herself.
Uncomfortable. This sense of incongruity made Su'er feel deeply uncomfortable. He felt that he might be a bit too unable to understand the thought process of these guys.
The clothes on the Flügel could be described as tattered rags. Logically, he should look away now. Even though he didn't see anything, Su'er always felt that if he looked away at this moment, it would make him look like he had lost.
He opened his mouth, and after several attempts at wording his question, he found that he didn't know where to start. In the end, Su'er could only throw out a dry sentence.
"...I thought we were enemies."
It was a bit of a random question, but the smart Flügel completely understood his meaning. She was slightly stunned, and then the pink-haired Flügel covered her stomach and laughed.
