Chapter 123 Pepe
"I just want to ask if you have any extra supplies. Dry food, clean water. If possible, I would also like some cotton cloth."
Linny subconsciously looked for the supplies that Femini needed, but soon realized something was wrong.
"Wait, what do you want these for? You haven't had any missions outside recently, right? Aren't you always eating with us?"
Femini tried to explain but didn't dare to look directly at Linny: "I, I feel hungry at night, so I want to have an extra portion, maybe because I'm growing...
Lini suppressed his anger and said seriously: "Do you remember what I said? You are different from me. You are not used to lying. What happened? Do you need to hide it from me?"
Femini said nothing, perhaps he had something to hide.
"This is the first time I've seen you look like this. Is it related to your father?"
Femini couldn't stand Linny's gaze and had to compromise.
"Come with me."
...
"Welcome back. Hey, there seem to be more people here today, are there any new friends?"
[Paimon: Is this the extra person? She's actually a little girl]
[Servant: Krevy….]
[Young Master: Krevy? Who is she? I haven’t heard you mention her before.]
[Servant: I don’t need to tell you everything]
[Kaeya: There is a big knife in here. I can feel it, and it is a friendship knife.]
[Linnie: Krevy? Is there such a person in the Hearth House? ]
[Linette: Brother, we shouldn’t ask questions. Father will be angry.]
[Servant: I killed her with my own hands...it's that simple]
...
"Hello, my name is Linnie, and I grew up in Hearth House. May I ask who you are..."
The girl introduced herself: "Hello. I am a child of the Hearth House just like you. As for my name, just call me Krevy."
Linnie pondered the name in his mind and realized that there was no such name in the current Hearth House.
Paimon looked at Linny's worried face and asked curiously, "Linny, have you heard of this name?"
Linnie shook his head. "But I'm sure she's not on the Hearth House's list. I don't know when she got in. I guess she's probably the non-existent child that the father is looking for."
"Femini, did you find her? You...didn't you tell your father?" Linnie said in a low voice.
"I hid her... here and didn't tell anyone."
"Since when?"
"About half a month ago."
"That was when we first arrived at Baisong Town. Do you know what you are doing? You are shielding the people that [Father] is searching for! If [Father] finds out about this, all those who know about it will be punished.
This is the rule of the Hearth House. Father will not accept any form of betrayal. You should know why you do this?" Linny asked sternly.
Femini said seriously, "I've thought about it. I can't just hand her over. Linny, do you remember that Shaplo almost lost his life last year? He was poisoned during the mission, and the poison took effect on the way back, and there was no one around him.
Someone called me up that night and asked me to save him. I opened my eyes and couldn't find the source of the sound, but I still went to find Shaplew, half believing and half doubting, and saved his life. This kind of [haunted] thing has happened several times in the Hearth House, and you should have an impression of it. "
That is, she has been helping the children of Hearth House.
"If Krevy is our enemy, I will not hesitate to kill her, no matter if she is a ghost or a child, because this is the order of my father. But she lives with us and has helped us a lot in secret. I think we should treat her as a family member. I can't catch her and deal with her without knowing everything."
Linny: "Have you thought about what to do in the future? She can't hide here forever. She will be exposed sooner or later."
Femini shook her head, she didn't want to disobey her [father's] orders, but she couldn't watch her fall into danger.
[Paimon: Linni has begun to look at this matter from Femini’s perspective]
[Keqing: Hmm... Although I don't know the rules of Hearth House, I can discuss this matter with the servant, right? She should be able to make a reasonable judgment, right? ]
[Femini: I can understand how I feel in the video, and I might hide her too]
[Servant: Even if I receive the most severe punishment?]
[Linnie: Father, this is not just his fault. If you want to punish me, punish me as well. The three of us grew up together. I understand him.]
【Linnet: That’s right】
[Kaeya: Hmm...if the plot continues like this, the three of them will definitely fight with the servants.]
[Ying: Prophet, you are amazing]
[Mona: Kaeya, have you awakened some strange ability? ]
[Kaeya: I have always been a surprise soldier. It is easy to predict the future.]
[Diluk: You are playing tricks. I have to say you are really lucky. You can guess right every time.]
[Klee: Klee brings luck to Brother Kaeya]
[Bennett: Can luck be passed on? Why can't I play any role at all? ]
[Ying: Klee’s luck cannot suppress your bad luck…]
...
Lini pulls Femini aside
Krevy looked at them and couldn't help but sigh: "They have such a good relationship."
Paimon was a little confused, as they clearly looked like they were about to have a quarrel.
"No. They have a deep bond! I have a good friend like that too, so I can tell at a glance. It's just... I don't know how long this friendship can last."
"The darkness of home is deeper than you can imagine. No one can escape from here alive."
...
"Sorry, Linny. I don't want to involve anyone..." Femini lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Linny.
Linnie crossed his arms and sighed, "What a coincidence. I don't want to hear you say [Don't involve anyone else]. I remember when we were little, you didn't call me Linnie, but called me brother like Linnet. We were all orphans, adopted by [Father], and grew up together. Among the brothers and sisters, the three of us have the best relationship. Later you changed to calling me by my name, and I actually know why. Linnet and I are related by blood, and we have been dependent on each other before joining the Hearth House.
During our most difficult times, we had never even met. But even so, Femini, we have walked side by side for many years. You and Linnet are the people I cherish most, and no one can replace them. So I will not let you face this alone, absolutely not. "
Paimon, who was far away, saw that Lini and Femini were suddenly very excited, so he quickly flew over and asked with concern: "Lini, Femini, you guys are not arguing, are you?"
"After going through so much, we should be considered friends, right? Is there anything we can help?"
Linny made a far-fetched explanation that it was just a small conflict in the family.
Ying: "There are some things that only [Guests] can do, right?"
Lini: "Generally speaking, when there are guests, [conflicts at home] won't get out of hand... Is this what you want to say?"
"I really hope you will stay out of this, but now I don't know how to refuse. If you two encounter any danger in the future, I will risk my life to help you."
"Let's get back to the present. Since we don't plan to hand Krevy over to [Father], the only solution is to find out the secret about her before [Father] finds her. Find out where she came from and what she wants to do in Hearth House - then send her away quietly, so that she has never appeared."
Femini told Linny everything he had done before, but this method didn't work, because the ghost would follow wherever the home was.
"Femini, I want to make a deal with you. This was done by the two of us. We are the masterminds, and no one else is involved, okay?"
"Then let's bump fists as we did when we were kids. Three, two, one—"
"I swear." x3
Sensing someone suddenly appearing, Linny turned his head stiffly to check, and it turned out to be Linnet!
Linnet looked at Linnie with a gloomy face, blinking from time to time.
It seemed like a long time had passed, and everyone was shocked.
"You really scared me. Hey, my sister, why are you here? And, this... when did you come?" Linny tapped Linnet's shoulder, trying to please her in every way.
Linnet turned around and cursed expressionlessly.
"Idiot brother."
"Foolish Femini."
"Stupid traveler, stupid Paimon."
[Paimon: Wait, why are we being scolded too? We are just here to watch the show! ]
[Yae Shenzi: It looks like I scolded 4 people, but I actually scolded 3 people]
[Paimon:? ? ? 】
[Arata Ichito: Because you are a flying dwarf melon, you are a fool.]
[Paimon: You'd better sleep with your eyes open tonight! ]
[Kaia: This is the family status. I thought it would be followed by a stupid father.]
[Sigwen: That would be really great! ]
[Keqing: Are the Traveler and her brother usually like this? ]
[Ying: My status is slightly higher than his. Although he is the older brother, I always bully him. Maybe this is the love between family members.]
[Yae Shenzi: Onii-chan~Baga]
[Alice: It's just right! That's right! ]
[Cole: When Mr. Linney was brought to the trial stand, he probably wasn't as scared as he is now, right?]
[Linette: My brother has always been an idiot]
【null:….】
【Linnie: ….】
[Klee: Brother Albedo is the best brother]
[Kamisato Ayaka: My brother, too, it would be better if he didn’t drink milk tea]
[Kamisato Ayato: Ahem, milk tea is a necessity]
[Alice: Be careful of gout! ]
[Amber: It looks like the Honor Knights will have another fight later, right?]
[Ying: My highlight moment is coming soon]
[Kaeya: Traveler, since you went to Xumi, you haven't used elemental power once. You have been chopping with the broken sword all the time.]
[Ying: That's me in the video. The more I use the Advent Sword, the more comfortable it becomes! I dare to fight even the Doctor! It's just the fourth seat, no big deal]
[Servant: Oh? We can have a discussion then.]
[Young Master: Please take me with you]
...
"I met Krevy when I was at Hearth House. I thought she didn't come with us, but it turns out that you hid her. I heard your battle plan, and I don't need to distance myself from it. I would rather act with you."
"If you don't agree, I will report the information here to my father. That's it." Maomao said the cruelest words in the softest tone.
Seeing his sister's tough attitude, Linni knew that there was no room for bargaining and could only choose to face it together.
But the most important thing now is to find out about Krevi's situation and then make the next plan.
...
Linnie handed the food to Krevy, but she didn't eat it. She just took a few sips and said she was full.
According to Femini's observations, Krevy cannot touch things in reality, but she will stop in front of food. Perhaps from her perspective, she is really eating these things.
Linnett asked suddenly, "Does she know that she is dead?"
Femini shook her head. "She didn't answer. I guess she didn't know, or couldn't understand the question at all."
Linnie walked up and asked, "Krevy, are you free now? I want to ask you a few questions."
Krevy nodded, and seeing another new friend coming over, she took the initiative to introduce herself.
"Krevy, how did you join Hearth House?"
Krewei felt a little strange. Why would this person ask this question? Aren't we all the same? We were brought in by servants and then had to stay here.
"Your name is not on the Hearth House list, and I have never seen you."
After hearing the list, Krevy immediately understood that they didn't know enough about it.
"The people who rule here are not as kind as they seem. The so-called list is not complete. Many people were not on the list from the beginning. Because they are not considered as [family], but just [experimental subjects]. Their names will not appear on the companion list, but they may be on the execution list."
Paimon was a little bit incredulous that a servant would do such a thing.
Unfortunately, the two parties are not on the same channel, and this servant is not that servant.
"Can anyone vouch for you?"
Krevy looked embarrassed, then mustered up the courage to say: "Pepe. She is my best friend, and I only trust her."
[Paimon: Pepe? Who is this? ]
[Alice: I know, but I won’t tell you]
[Mona: Me too]
[System: Puff, sorry, I know someone named Pepe...]
[Linnie: There is no one named Pepe in the Hearth House]
[Funina: Experimental subject? Alechino, so you are that kind of person]
[Young Master: I think you two are not on the same page. I have said before that Alechino is the second servant. She killed the previous servant and took her place.]
【Keqing: Oh~ I see. What about this Pepe? 】
[Servant: It’s me]
[Ying: So your name is Pepe! ]
[Paimon: This should be a nickname]
[Cole: Krevy said you were her best friend, but you killed her? What happened?]
[Servant: Please continue watching. I won’t explain any more.]
