fine.

When taking a shower, the little girl obediently and motionless.

The little girl did not act out of any extreme until she finished taking a shower and changed into a clean and tidy clothes.

Duke was relieved for the time being.

Just when she was taking a shower, Alyssa sat on the eaves of the bathtub and helped the little girl wipe her body. She was still feeling sorry for the little girl's body. As a result, the little girl who was originally facing away from Duke turned around and looked at Duke.

Although Duke could only see a delicate little face, and other parts were blocked by the bathtub, Duke was still speechless.

After changing her clothes, the little girl didn't even look at Alisa and walked straight to Duke.

“…”

Alisa was very sad. Is it because she looked ugly in the eyes of the little girl? Or she had no sense of existence? Otherwise, why did the little girl ignore her...

As if he knew about Alisa's distress, Duke smiled and touched Alisa's head and told her, and then he would explain to her again.

Then Duke looked at the little girl with a headache.

Duke squatted down, looked straight with the little girl, and asked:

"What are you... going to do next? Are you planning to stay here or have another purpose? By the way, how did you enter Dawn City? Was it from the broken place of the South City Gate?"

Duke wants to know a lot of questions.

Unfortunately, the little girl can't speak or write, and she can't even communicate with her eyes, and she can only look at Duke quietly.

"Forget it, I won't ask more. Come on when you come. If you want to leave, it's better to say hello to me in advance, otherwise I will be worried. If you don't leave... then live for the time being, it's not too small for a bowl."

Duke shook his head and said.

Everyone has come. Although he doesn't know if there will be any trouble in the future, he can't drive people away.

"Master, I'll go and make some clothes for her. She's still too big for me to wear..."

Alisa suddenly spoke.

Duke looked at the little girl who was holding her clothes on the ground, nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll bother you."

"No trouble, I'll ask someone to buy a few sets and then change them a little!"

Alisa immediately left happily.

Although the little girl didn't seem to like Alisa very much, Alisa was not angry at all and even wanted to help the little girl.

There is no way, this cute little girl made Alisha have a little maternal love.

After Alyssa left, Duke touched the little girl's hair and was about to take her to the guest room to confirm the way.

But suddenly I heard a sharp, crisp sound:

"I want to protect you."

"Um?"

Duke was stunned, then looked at the little girl in surprise and asked:

"You can talk?"

After waiting for a long time, the little girl put a word on it:

"……meeting."

Huh ~

Duke breathed a sigh of relief and could communicate, but when he thought of the little girl who had been silent just now, Duke's forehead was a little black.

He gently pinched the little girl's face, and then asked with some discomfort:

"Then why didn't you just talk?"

This time, the little girl answered very quickly.

"tired!"

This answer is beyond Duke's understanding.

Good guy, you feel tired when you speak?

But Duke soon thought again, was she so rarely spoke before, but now she suddenly spoke, and she didn't know how to say it?

This is not physical fatigue, but psychological fatigue!

After all, the little girl was a mutant before. Although she lived in the village, the mutant people in the village had a gloomy personality and didn't talk much. She didn't even talk.

It is even possible that the vocal organs in her body have degenerated. Although she was treated in the medical cabin last time, there were still not many scenes of speaking, and then she became the current quiet and even withdrawn look...

Duke felt that he was almost completely guessing, and this was very likely.

Duke felt a little distressed when he thought of the lifeless days of the little girl before.

He felt that he should help the little girl make some changes, not to mention becoming more cheerful, at least he could communicate normally.

However, there is no rush to do this. This is a subtle process, so you can only take it slowly.

"What did you mean just now, protect me?"

Duke asked curiously when he thought of what the little girl said just now.

"yes."

Duke looked at the little girl's thin body and her face that looked like a porcelain doll, and suddenly became a little funny.

He originally wanted to say, just your little body, how could he protect people?

But when I thought about it, the little girl might be fragile and couldn't listen to these jokes, and she seemed to have some strength.

So Duke reiterated:

"Is it because I saved your life? So you protect me and want to repay me?"

"yes!"

The little girl's voice was still awkward and crisp, but there was a hint of firmness inexplicably.

"Okay, then I'll thank you first, but I understand that you'll plan to follow me in the future?"

Duke asked again.

"yes."

Duke held the little girl's hand, and the two came to the fireplace, sat opposite each other, feeling the warmth in the house, Duke asked again:

"Do you still have family?"

"Dead."

The little girl said expressionlessly.

“…”

Although I had guessed the answer long ago, Duke still felt a little distressed when he heard the little girl say it in person.

But before he could speak, the little girl said again:

"That time, my dad, together, he died."

Duke took some effort to translate the little girl's words.

"You mean, last time you went to the ruins with your father, where did he die?"

The little girl nodded.

"yes."

"Oh~"

Duke changed his seat, sat next to the little girl, and then gently touched her hair and said:

"Since that's the case, you have no other place to go. You have to protect me. What if we are a family in the future? Of course, the premise is that you have to be obedient and not attack others casually. For example, if you just wanted to attack Alisa, I hope it won't happen in the future - by the way, why do you attack Alisa?"

He had to figure out the logic of the little girl's anger, and he didn't want to put a time bomb next to him.

Duke said a lot this time, the little girl tilted her head, as if she was thinking. After waiting for a while, she then spoke:

"She, rob me, food, I, kill her."

Duke slapped his forehead and it was indeed a food protection.

Fortunately, as long as it is not for some strange reasons.

So Duke looked into the little girl's eyes and said patiently:

"I won't talk about the past. You can't think like this anymore in the future. With me, it's impossible to make you hungry! Even if others really rob your food, you can't kill anyone. Of course, no one will rob your food. This sister Alisa, she is my good friend and your good friend. You can't be bad for her. Even if you really have the ability, you can still protect her, do you know?"

After waiting for a long time, the little girl finally wrote three words.

"OK."

Duke also took a long time to understand what the little girl meant, so he asked:
To be continued...
