However, at this moment, Wise was unaware of what was happening inside a certain Hollow...
"Ugh, sister..." In a dilapidated room in the building, a girl in a greyish-black dress was holding her forehead with her slender, fair hands, looking troubled. Upon closer inspection, there were faint silver-grey patterns on the back of her hands. It was as if sharp blades were hidden beneath her skin, ready to be unleashed with a little force to slay enemies.
Although the girl's face was covered by a veil, it could hardly conceal the delicate and cute face underneath. Hearing the girl's words, another girl with a similar face and attire tilted her head slightly and asked calmly, "What's wrong, sister?"
The biggest difference in appearance between her, the older sister, and her younger sister was that her attire was mainly silver-white. Besides that, it was her personality.
"It's nothing, my head just hurts a lot. I feel like I've slept for a long time and forgotten a lot of things..."
"It's okay, sister. Big sister is here."
Hearing her older sister's calm words, the younger sister was somewhat surprised, then asked with a look of pleasant surprise, "Huh? Does big sister still remember?"
"No, I've forgotten everything too."
"Huh? Then what should we do?" Hearing that even her older sister had lost her memories, the younger one was at a loss. Fortunately, her sister wasn't like her at this moment. Instead, she calmly raised her fair index finger, looking as if she had a good idea.
"It's simple. We just need to find that person."
The older sister's words made the younger one pause for a moment, then she nodded happily as if she had found her direction. Although the sisters had forgotten many things in their minds and could only remember some vague images, the most impressive one was the person who had awakened them.
"That's right! Since he saved us, he must know our identities, right? If we find him, we'll definitely be able to!" The girl said this while joyfully leaping forward, skillfully spinning on her toes. But she soon stopped, looking a bit dejected. "Sister, I just realized, we don't know how to find him."
"Silly, can't we just follow the scent?"
"Huh? Did sister remember his scent?"
"Mhm, of course. After all, I'm the big sister."
"Wow, big sister is so amazing!"
"Hmph, hmph~" The younger sister looked at her older sister with adoration, her fists clenched. After making their decision, the two girls got up and left the room.
The room was completely sealed, the only exit blocked by a smoothly cut stone wall. The younger sister, unfazed, simply pushed it aside. The pushed stone wall happened to smash into a high-risk Ethereal that was on all fours and looked like a lizard.
"Oops, sorry, little doggy." The younger sister stuck out her tongue and scratched her head a little embarrassedly, looking very cute. But the Ethereal whose leg had just been broken by the smash didn't think so. It struggled out from under the stone wall, then limped away without looking back.
The sisters didn't care about this at all. After all, for an Ethereal, this was just a minor injury that could be recovered after spending some time in the Hollow.
"Alright, sister, stop being silly. We still have to find that person." The older sister said, twitching her nose as if she were smelling something. The younger sister's gaze sharpened, and she was about to subconsciously say, "Sister, you look just like that little... mmmph!"
Before the younger sister could finish, the older one, who had already guessed what she was going to say, quickly covered her mouth. "Shut up. This way." The older sister walked in the direction she pointed with an unchanged expression, and the younger one immediately followed.
The two sisters wandered from building A to building B, from the top of the building to the bottom. Finally, the younger sister, who couldn't stand this random wandering any longer, looked at her older sister with a hint of doubt. "Sister, are you sure you remembered his scent?"
"Of course."
Seeing her older sister's confident look, the younger one sighed helplessly. Then she suddenly noticed, in a corner not far away, a small white Ethereal that had been cowering in fear due to the aether energy they were emitting.
The younger sister's interest was immediately piqued. After all, girls like small and cute things (with some exceptions), and an Ethereal girl was naturally the same towards Ethereal animals. So, she quickly went forward, grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, and pulled it out from the corner.
The little Ethereal, which lived at the bottom of the Hollow, had never had such a direct confrontation with the overlords of the Hollow. It was so scared it didn't even dare to struggle and was immediately choked by the girl.
"Wow, so cute! I've decided, sister, how about we keep her as a pet?" The younger sister didn't realize there was anything wrong with her actions. In her eyes, she was just giving it a gentle hug. But that "gentle hug" had almost crushed the little Ethereal's core.
"Whatever. But can it leave this place?" The older sister wasn't surprised by her younger sister's personality. It was just that, according to what was ingrained in their instincts, other Ethereals of their kind couldn't seem to leave the Hollow. It seemed the two of them were a special case. This went back to when they were following the scent earlier. Because she was so engrossed in the search, the younger sister had accidentally stepped out of the Hollow from the rooftop of the building.
The older sister was startled and was about to pull her back quickly, but she found that her sister was completely fine. Finding it novel, they took some of their kind to do some "voluntary" experiments. However, the results were obvious. Whether it was the little doggy with the lame leg from before or the most common humanoid Ethereals in the Hollow, all of them, without exception, dissipated as soon as they left the Hollow.
"Oh, right..." The younger sister looked a bit disappointed.
Just then, the older sister's expression suddenly turned sharp. She looked down at her own small legs, covered in sheer white stockings. A snake-like Ethereal with white scales was wrapped around them. The feeling of its scales sliding against her made her feel a little strange, so she reached down and grabbed it off her leg.
Actually, the girl had noticed this Ethereal before, but because it was too weak, she hadn't paid it any mind. But now, it had taken the initiative to approach her. Girls are generally afraid of such reptiles, and she, the older sister, was no exception. So, she decided to crush this Ethereal that had crawled onto her leg.
However, just as she was about to do it, the younger sister on the other side suddenly cried out in surprise, interrupting her action.
"Sister, I've got an idea!"
