Vol 1 Chapter 3.07 (1/2)
battery=03:58:01
You really couldn't imagine the usual Volkov by the speed that he's running at now.
He dashed on the streets, rus.h.i.+ng down the stairs, ramming into the railings, weaving here and there in the city. Lilith and I lied in his strong arms like babies, blankly staring at the night scene faraway.
After about ten minutes, we reached the bottom of a steel bridge that n.o.body pa.s.ses by. A large river that was about thirty meters wide flowed in the darkness, while the iron bridge was above it. I could not hear any sounds of sirens, so it seems like we put quite a distance between the place where we battled the police and us.
I lost my lower body, so I could not sit normally, and could only sit on the rack of the bridge. Lilith lied weakly on the ground as well, using her left arm to tightly press her shoulder that lost its right arm, looking at the pitch black, colossal robot that stood beside us like a guarding of a temple.
”What's...... with you?”
Lilith asked in a worried tone, but he didn't answer, and just stared unblinkingly at us.
”Volkov Galosh.” Lilith called his name in a low tone, ”Say something.”
”......” The black giant kept silent.
A train slowly pa.s.sed through the iron bridge above us. Lilith's hair danced in the wind, then fell onto her shoulders again.
”...... Seriously.” Lilith stood up after supporting herself on the surface of the ground wit her left hand.
”Lilith?”
”I need to get this guy to wake up.”
Lilith approached him, then—
She knocked Volkov's waist.
'Hey hey! Hey hey! Anyone inside! Anyone inside!”
Lilith knocked on Volkov's waist with all her might— instead of saying knocked on, I should say that she hammered it.
”I know that there's someone inside!” She shouted threateningly, ”Get out immediately!”
At that moment.
Volkov's eyes suddenly lit up. Then, his neck moved creakingly. Volkov looked at the young girl hammering his body.
And then he said with his slow tone as usual.
”Oh...... Volkov- is here- is here.”
”Too slow!” Lilith mercilessly hit his arm.
”Lilith- so- violent.”
”It's all your fault!” Lilith hit Volkov again. Her silhouette looked just like a girl that argued with her lover.
Lilith turned around to look at me, and shrugged while saying: ”Seriously, he just brings trouble to us.” In contrast with her casual remark, her expression looked more like she was relieved.
”Mnn, anyways...... Thanks for just now.”
Lilith s.h.i.+fted her gaze shyly, muttering: ”...... Thank you.”
”Lilith- embarra.s.sed.”
”Shut up.”
Lilith turned her head to another side, while Volkov scratched his head. Seeing their usual interactions, I was rather relieved as well. A train pa.s.sed by the iron bridge above us again, and vibrations came from behind us.
