Dosoles

It was as if she were sitting quietly high in the sky, silently watching and mocking herself...

This is really...

"Annoying"

With her lips pursed, the girl took a deep breath and then vigorously rubbed her head.

As a result, a chill gradually emanated from her surroundings.

But...

"Is there something you're unhappy about?"

The elegant Maria slowly walked out of Conglin and appeared in front of the girl, her eyes slightly lowered.

Her appearance startled FrostNova.

Her ears perked up instantly, and she stared at the woman in front of her in astonishment.

"You... when did you get here?!"

She didn't notice anything unusual at all?!

"I just arrived here."

Maria didn't hide anything; she simply walked quietly to the opposite side of FrostNova, then calmly sat down, looking at this person who was theoretically her first familiar.

His eyes were calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"..." Although somewhat surprised, FrostNova was a woman who had seen her share of storms. After a moment's hesitation, she quickly calmed down and looked at the woman in front of her.

"So... is there something you need from me?"

"If you're just checking if I'm still here, then you can leave."

She said this, her tone not very friendly.

For some reason, she always felt a subtle unease when she saw Maria these days.

She didn't know where this discomfort came from.

Maria, however, showed no displeasure at FrostNova's tone.

She looked at the other person carefully for a few moments, then slowly asked her questions.

"Is there anything you're unhappy about?"

"... No."

"Yeah."

After Maria finished speaking, she gradually fell silent.

Her downcast eyebrows suggested that her presence there was truly just to check on the other person!

This posture made FrostNova hesitate.

After a moment, she rubbed her head in frustration.

So... what exactly do you want from me?

"Just looking at you."

"Just to look at me?"

FrostNova's expression was somewhat strange.

In her memory, Maria was still that extremely strong-willed woman.

Why would someone say such tender words at a time like this?

"Your existence is extremely special to me, so I've always been paying attention to you."

Maria continued speaking, and this time her words were even more outrageous.

Almost instantly after she finished speaking, FrostNova's face turned red.

Am I... special?

Ah?!

No...

You... you think that way about me?!

FrostNova felt her heart begin to race.

Her gaze darted around, and she seemed unable to look directly at Maria in the eye; her whole body began to tremble slightly.

Her legs, which were crossed, were trembling slightly.

Wait... what is this woman saying?!

Does she know what she's saying?

Are you crazy?

Her gaze was unfocused as she looked at Maria in front of her...

Speaking of which... Maria was actually a great beauty.

Although she rarely smiles, this only complements her cool and aloof temperament, making it hard to look away from her calm and slightly icy demeanor.

Anyway, they 'Infected all an unwelcome group, so no one will criticize their sexual orientation...

So...

Is that the reason!?

FrostNova was somewhat taken aback.

But even faster, she saw that Maria had appeared in front of her without her noticing.

His aloof face made her even more at a loss.

Maria simply reached out and gently cupped her face in her hands.

"Your skin feels very hot..."

"..."

"Your heart is starting to race... Is it because of my appearance?"

"... You know the answer already."

FrostNova gritted her teeth, feeling somewhat ashamed and indignant.

But Maria was simply puzzled.

In her understanding, there could not be such a special connection between a family member and a giver.

Could it be...?

Do abilities manifest differently in different worlds?

Or is it simply that I misunderstood?

Maria felt somewhat troubled.

Clearly, as a newly Great Ones, she was like a person forced into the position.

She couldn't offer any answers to the problems her subordinates were facing.

So after a moment of silence, she could only gently cup the other person's face, making her look into her eyes.

Seeing the rabbit girl in front of her growing increasingly red and her breathing becoming more labored, she hesitated for a moment before silently getting up.

I will come to see you again later.

After saying that, she turned and left.

The blushing girl was left standing there, stunned and at a loss.

Chapter 245 Dossoles

"Did you go see the little rabbit?"

Inside the Hunter's Cabin, the Doll quietly brewed Maria a cup of black tea.

To be honest, the Doll was actually surprised when Maria said she wanted to see FrostNova.

In her view, Maria's initial agreement to let the girl bleed was purely for the purpose of a peaceful transaction; after the bloodletting was over, she would simply keep the girl under house arrest in New Yharnam.

It's impossible to release it.

That's why, when the Doll were training these people to become new Hunter, they never included that rabbit as a training target.

She will become the first wild beast kept in New Yharnam.

But judging from Maria's actions just now, she seems to quite like that rabbit...

"She is special, Doll."

Maria didn't offer any further explanation.

The Doll understood Maria's meaning.

Are you worried that she might become some uncontrollable entity after receiving blood?

"Yes."

"Hmm... judging from her current behavior, she doesn't seem to be showing any signs of that..." the Doll pondered for a moment.

As Maria's loyal and personally acknowledged as her unique and capable helper, her authority was immense.

In fact, for other Great Ones, this would be considered twin-like, because in Maria's view, the Doll was hers, and so was the power. From this perspective, what harm could there be in the Doll using her power?

Therefore, she can basically sense what is happening in New Yharnam.

And in her perception...

"That little rabbit might not be so well-behaved."

"Um?"

"Your blood... even just a few drops, is not something everyone can withstand," the Doll said, then silently raised its head again.

"As for that silver wolf cub, she already possessed a portion of Rottish's power within her. When your blood entered, the two annihilated each other, which is why it didn't have much of an impact on her. But the Little White Rabbit's situation is a bit different... I've seen her enter a berserk state during battle more than once..."

The Doll stopped there.

She didn't share too much of her own subjective opinion; she simply explained the situation to Maria as objectively as possible.

Everything was in Maria's hands.

"A berserk state?" Maria frowned. "Will they lose their minds?"

"... There are no signs of this at the moment. It's just that it's particularly aggressive in battle, sometimes even breaking away from its companions and venturing deep into enemy territory... Judging from the reactions of others, this shouldn't be the little rabbit's usual behavior."

"... Is it because of Yharnam's suppression?"

"Regarding this, I'm not sure if this domain possesses this ability..." The Doll shook her head. She had only gradually begun to use her authority in recent days, so she couldn't fully understand its mysteries.

Naturally, they also didn't know whether Yharnam possessed the ability to suppress the savage, bestial nature within her blood.

After a moment of silence, Maria nodded quietly.

How much longer is our sailing time to Dossoles?

"About a week..."

"Go and make the arrangements. This time, let her travel with me..."

Dossoles, at the edge of the platform.

Several men dressed in naval uniforms sat idly to one side, gazing at the endless plains in the distance, looking rather bored.

Seeing that no one was around, the young man quietly took a cardboard box out of his pocket.

"I'm going to take a break..."

As he spoke, he slipped away stealthily.

But even faster, he felt his hand being grabbed.
