Chapter 56: Praise Rasputin (2)
"What's the use of magical control alone? In the face of overwhelming power, no matter how good the control is, it is useless. In the battle with that murderer and the big octopus, I was easily defeated, and I have to rely on you to rescue me." Rasputin sighed, there was an unspeakable depression in her turquoise eyes.
"Uh..." Ulysses was speechless for a moment.
"Forget it! You don't have to think about that much, let's split up and prepare today's food! I will go hunting in the forest, and you will take them to the beach to go fishing!" Rasputin quickly recovered from her depression and started assigning today's work.
"Um! Cherie, Helen. Come here! Let's go fishing at the beach." Ulysses turned his head and signaled to Cherie and Helen, who were squatting on the ground and playing drawing.
"Yeah! I can go to the beach with Big Brother!"
"Daddy!" Cherie and Helen, who heard Ulysses shouting, stood up immediately, hopped all the way to Ulysses's side, and then hugged Ulysses.
In this way, Ulysses took Cherie and Helen to the beach. Ulysses sat on a reef to fish while Cherie and Helen played a chase game behind him.
"Haha! Helen, you can't catch me!" Cherie, who was running, turned around and made a funny face at Helen.
"Huff! Huff!" Helen, who had just been born, didn't seem to be completely used to running. She was often tripped over by her beautiful silver hair that was longer than her own body, but every time she fell, she would try to stand up and continue to chase Cherie. And as the number of her falls increased, she also slowly mastered the knack of running fast. Cherie had almost been caught by her several times. Based on this rate, it would soon be Cherie's turn to chase Helen.
Waves of sea waves hit the snow-white beach, and the slightly salty sea breeze blew the running girls, blowing their long hair flying in the air. Under the golden sunlight, the two running girls looked so dazzling, like cute angels descending on the earth.
"Huh?" Suddenly a scene flashed in Ulysses's mind that was similar to the one in front of him. It was in an endless sea of flowers, and he was sitting in a small pond fishing. There were also two lovely girls chasing and playing after him. In the blue sky with beautiful petals fluttering around, the two girls couldn't help laughing, their laughter sounded like crisp silver bells. One of them was wearing a white dress, with beautiful short green hair and a pair of clear black eyes; the other was wearing pink hair, white stockings, and a pink bow on her head, with beautiful long pink hair and a pair of big green eyes.
He had the impression that the girl with short green hair was Laxia, who lived next door to his house, two years younger than him. When he was a child, she always liked to come and play with him, so she was his childhood sweetheart! She was also his only friend in that village. Since he decided to become a priest when he was a child, he hardly played with other children in the village. Only Laxia would always take the initiative to come and play with him after he finished practicing light magic. He remembered that when he left the village, Laxia walked more than a dozen miles away from the village to see him off, and she cried for a long time while holding him...
‘But who is that girl with pink hair?' Ulysses racked his brain, but he still couldn't remember it. He just remembered that she seemed to call him...
"Elder Brother..." A voice full of energy and joy suddenly came from the bottom of his memory.
"Big Brother!" Cherie's energetic voice suddenly rang from his ears, interrupting Ulysses' memory.
"Uh? Cherie! Was it you who called me just now?" Ulysses was stunned, beginning to be a little confused between reality and memory.
"Of course! Cherie has called you several times! Big Brother, the fish has bitten the bait!" Cherie pointed at Ulysses' fishing rod vigorously. It was shaking vigorously, and it seemed that a big fish had taken the bait.
"Ah! Sorry! I was distracted for a while. Okay, I will show you how to catch a fish!" Ulysses put the pink long-haired girl behind his head and began to pull the rod hard. A big fish half a meter long was pulled out of the sea all at once.
Three hours later, Ulysses had caught more than a dozen fish of all kinds. These fishes probably weighed a few hundred kilos, enough for them to eat for a month. Ulysses strung them with a string, and planned to take them back to make dried fish and eat them slowly. After all, there was not much food stored in his Dark Dimension Space. There was only a lot of fat bread that he didn't know where Aya took them from.
When Ulysses returned to the cave with Cherie and Helen, Rasputin was already there waiting for them. She had gained a lot from hunting in the forest. There were dozens of white rabbit bodies in the clearing next to them, all of which were fatally hit by the wind blade.
"Ah! Sister Rasputin! How could you do such a cruel thing!! These cute rabbits are so pitiful. Even if you want to eat them, there is no need to kill so many! Waah…." Looking at the bunch of dead rabbits, Cherie cried suddenly.
"Uh!" Ulysses and Rasputin were taken aback at the same time. Cherie would cry about this kind of thing, it was beyond their expectation.
"Please, don't cry. I'm sorry, I promise I won't catch rabbits again!" Rasputin quickly apologized to Cherie after finding out why Cherie was crying. Ulysses hurriedly put the bodies of those rabbits into the Dark Dimension Space to avoid Cherie from seeing them again.
"Waah! Sister Rasputin, can you promise that you will never hurt these cute rabbits again!" Upon hearing Rasputin's apology, Cherie slowly stopped crying.
"Yeah! I promise!" Rasputin smiled and hooked Cherie's little finger with hers. Because of this incident, Rasputin never killed a rabbit in a future life on the desert island.
"Crying for a cute rabbit... I seemed to have such sympathy when I was twelve years old. However, for the sake of life, my hands have long been stained with blood that cannot be washed away. The time of innocence has already left far away from me." Rasputin looked at Cherie's lovely back and heaved a long sigh.
"No, in my opinion, apologizing to Cherie and making a promise not to kill rabbits again, you still have a beautiful heart, Rasputin," Ulysses said to Rasputin earnestly.
"Really? Thank you for your compliment!" Rasputin once again showed a sunny smile to Ulysses. In those turquoise eyes, there was an immense joy.
