Time passed slowly, and Ai'er's strength recovered a little. When he was debating whether to wake up the little girl in his arms, there was a movement in his arms:
"Um……"
The little girl's voice was vaguely filled with pain - as if she had some hidden illness?
"Are you awake?"
Elle tried to keep her voice as soft as possible. The dark environment might scare the child. She needed to act more reliable.
——Even if you hold on forcefully.
Ai'er, who had already adapted to the darkness, could vaguely see the little girl's face - the situation was so rushed that she didn't even have time to identify her race.
Typical Colombian people - Liboli people.
Did you put on the helmet too hastily just now? The feathers next to the ears were pressed a little strangely.
Aier stretched out her fingers to help the little girl straighten her feathers and asked:
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
The little girl shook her head, as if she hadn't realized what happened, and her eyes were a little dazed.
Aier pointed to her face: "Do you still remember me? Look, I was in the corridor just now?"
I tried to avoid words like disaster and earthquake as much as possible, but I don’t know if it has any effect.
The little girl seemed to have reacted: "Just now, the house collapsed... You came to save me at that time..."
Aier nodded: "Yes, I am..."
"That Aunt Wolper!"
Aier's heart skipped a beat.
Auntie Aier brushed her face with her fingertips, and a burst of sadness surged into her nose——
Could it be that I aged too fast during training? In my early twenties, when I was still in bloom, a young lady was called aunt...
"...Yes, I am that Aunt Wolper." Elle said with a wry smile. She couldn't really get angry with her.
Let the child say whatever she wants, it would be nice if she could relax more.
"You can call me Aunt Wo Yisi." Aier simply gave up her defense and her first priority was to calm her emotions.
"What's your name?"
"……install."
"An... this name is really nice. Did you know that this name means 'apricot' in the Eastern language."
... As if he felt at ease. Aier felt that the child in her arms relaxed a little - the tight muscles relaxed.
Elle had originally planned to use the topics to amuse the children, but now she has no use for them. Although it is very convenient, how should she explain the current situation to her now...
Aier frowned. Although she was worried, she still tried her best to keep her face away so that An would not see it.
He straightened An, who had woken up, so that she could sit more comfortably against his body.
The two were silent for a long time.
"Aunt Wo Yisi?"
"What's wrong?"
"...I'm sorry." A soft sob came from An's words:
"If it weren't for me, we wouldn't be trapped here..."
"...What are you talking about?" Aier flicked An's brain through the motorcycle helmet: "Isn't this okay? None of us were injured. Besides..."
Elle only felt her arms being hugged tightly by An——
From the conversation just now, Aier's consideration of how to explain this matter is obviously superfluous.
She remembers it all.
Although the little girl was sensible, she was obviously frightened.
"...Besides, I am a security contractor after all. I will protect you."
"...security...contractor...operator?"
An's crying was much quieter, as if she was wondering what this word she didn't understand meant.
"That's right - a security contractor. A person responsible for protecting the safety of others."
"...Just like the police?" An asked: "...Black Steel International?"
"Yes. I am from Black Steel International." This time it was Aier's turn to be surprised: "How do you know this company?"
"Dad said... the people from Black Steel International are very powerful and can protect many people. He was once buried in the ruins, and it was the people from Black Steel International who saved him and his mother."
"Really? Now that you know it, don't worry - I am the safety contractor of Black Steel International, and I will definitely protect you. Okay?"
"……Um."
Elle put on a brisk tone and said: "Okay, now you know who I am, do you want to tell me about yourself?"
"Well...Dad and I are not from here, we are from over there -" The little girl mentioned the name of a city. Elle, who was not familiar with the geography of Colombia, could only barely guess that it was a western city.
"Then you go with dad, mom..."
"Mom is in heaven." An raised her head and said, "Dad said mom is always with us - but we can't see her."
