Chapter 389 Familiarity

Another hour passed. Xi first changed clothes and came out of the room, followed by Ling. She rubbed her hazy eyes and said habitually: "Good morning..."

"Sister Alicia, good morning~" Xi continued, but she blinked and saw another figure in the living room.

With her long cherry-colored hair and fluffy fox ears, isn't that Rin's sister Sakura? Is she finally back?

So Xi quietly poked Ling's body.

"Xi, what's wrong..." Lingke hadn't woken up yet. She was so distracted that she didn't notice that her sister was looking at her quietly.

Ling passed behind the sofa where Sakura was sitting in a daze, and came to the kitchen and found the mango-flavored pastries that Alicia had made. Her sleepiness dissipated slightly, and she said in surprise: "Have you had another snack today? Alicia Sister Shia, you are so kind~"

Alicia glanced at Sakura, who looked a little helpless, and asked Suzu evilly: "Then what if I compare with your sister? Who is better?"

"Of course it's my sister~" Ling blurted out these words. After all, she was the relative who had raised her for such a long time. She would not betray Alicia just because she got along with her for just a few days. But as soon as she said the words, she Afraid that Alicia would feel hurt, she quickly added: "I didn't say anything bad about you, Sister Alicia. I just... um, do you like your sister more?"

"Okay, okay, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I won't feel sad~?" Alicia glanced at Sakura secretly again. Sure enough, after Suzu said that answer without thinking, her expression changed. Becomes a little softer.

"Ling, I'm back." Sakura finally made a sound.

"Oh, sister, you're back... huh?" Ling used a spoon to eat pastries. Did she hear her sister's voice just now?

Turning his head instantly, sure enough, on the sofa, next to Alicia, Sakura in home clothes was looking at her with a faint smile.

"Sister?! When did you come back... No, why didn't I see you just now?" Ling glanced at the pastries in front of her. No wonder there were four portions. She thought Sister Alicia had made too many, but she didn't. It occurred to me that there was one more person in the family.

"Actually, I was there from the beginning..." Xi Xiao whispered.

"Yes, Ling, you just walked right behind Sakura~?" Alicia also smiled, thinking that Ling had just drifted past under Sakura's gaze, she was extremely happy.

"Ling, are you still sleepy now?" Sakura also asked with a rare tease.

"I'm not sleepy at all..."

Ling rubbed her face and smiled sweetly at Sakura, "Sister, welcome home~"

Afterwards, the four of them tasted the pastries made by Alicia. Both the appearance and taste were very good. It seemed that Alicia's craftsmanship had improved again.

"Sister, what happened to the bandage on your palm? Are you injured?" Because the temperature dropped, everyone wore long pants and long sleeves, and Suzuya only saw the bandage on Sakura's palm exposed outside the clothes. The scars, the rest were hidden under the clothes.

These were the marks left by Sakura when she fought with the unknown attackers. Just after taking a bath, Sakura quickly bandaged them up, trying not to let Ling see them as much as possible.

"It's just a small scratch. I accidentally touched a sharp place." Sakura explained.

"Sister, you are too careless..." Ling complained softly. She did not see any blood seeping out of the bandage, so for the time being, she believed what her sister said was "just a small scratch."

Alicia felt an unusual aura on Sakura's body, a relatively strong Honkai energy. It seemed that the wounds on Sakura's body were not simply caused by an accident, but were they attacked?

Alicia thought for a moment, but with Sakura's speed, she really couldn't imagine who could have such great ability to leave scars on Sakura's body.

Or... is there more than one attacker? There was a big fight between Sakura and those guys?

But sometimes the gap in strength cannot be made up by the number of people. It seems that the individual skills of the attackers are not bad.

Thinking of this, Alicia did not hide her gaze and looked directly at Sakura.

Sakura also felt it, so she turned to look at her suspiciously.

Hmm... Sakura's expression was normal. She didn't look troubled at all. At least Alicia didn't notice it.

It should be that those attackers have been dealt with?

Alicia guessed so.

But I'm still curious, who actually launched the attack on Sakura... Why don't we go back to the base and adjust the surveillance? Try your luck, maybe Sakura's fight with them was caught on camera?

While Alicia was planning, Nozomi felt a little uncomfortable looking at a part of Sakura's body covered by clothes, which was one of Sakura's wounds.

The breath of dying life, this feeling is all too familiar to her. After all, she has been in contact with the power of death for a long time under the possession of the Sixth Herrscher. It can be said that after the death of the Sixth Herrscher, no one will be more interested in it than Xi. This force is more sensitive.

It's just that the power in Sakura's body is far inferior to that of the Sixth Herrscher, just like a weakened version.

"Sister Alicia..." Xi poked Alicia's arm.

"What's the matter, Xi?" Alicia came back to her senses and looked at Xi who frowned slightly and asked.

"On Sister Ying's body..."

Xi told Alicia all her feelings. If she was Alicia's sister who worked in that organization, she would have a clue about this, right?

"..."

After listening to Nozomi's words, Alicia was silent for a while and said to Sakura: "Sakura, can you come here for a moment?"

"it is good."

Sakura saw that Alicia had something important to tell her, so she nodded, smiled at Ling, and then followed Alicia into the room.

"Are they going to whisper something?"

The only outsider, Ling, looked at the closed door in confusion and wanted to get up to eavesdrop, but was stopped by Xi.

"It's better not to disturb Sister Ying and the others. It's wrong to eavesdrop."

"Hey, Kexi, you must not be curious about what they came to the room to say? I'm very curious." Ling tugged at her grabbed wrist, but couldn't pull it out, so she had to try to pull it out. Hiera is his ally.

I'm definitely not curious either...

Nozomi thought so.

She could roughly guess something, maybe it was related to Honkai Impact or something like that? As for whether it has reached the level of the Sixth Herrscher, it is unknown.

However, Sister Alicia specifically pulled Sister Sakura away, which meant that there were some words that she did not want the fourth person present, namely Ling, to hear, so naturally Nozomi would not let Ling go over and eavesdrop.
