The sun hanging overhead kept venting energy, Zike looked up at the sky, the sun was shining on him and he couldn't open his eyes, his clothes under the heavy armor were already soaked, he swallowed his saliva and turned his head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Go to the front woods and rest in place." ”

Harvey was very restrained in the carriage, he did not dare to look at the lady and her daughter in the carriage, but he stayed there with his head bowed and motionless, sweating profusely. Zike's voice saved Harvey at this moment, and after the carriage stopped, he saluted Madame and Miss, and quickly jumped out of the carriage.

"Harvey. Zike sat in the shade of a large tree and beckoned to Harvey.

Harvey hurried over, and Zike noticed that Harvey was sweating profusely and his lips were dry, and threw the water bladder in his hand at him.

Harvey grabbed the water bladder, raised his head and poured himself a few sips, now he felt that he had experienced the pleasure of Uncle Ed and Uncle Hadev gulping rye wine at the Keszoya Tavern.

"Harvey, why do you look more tired than we do in the hot sun?" Zike joked.

Harvey sat down beside Zike, "Uncle Zike, I'd rather ride with you, even if it's on foot." "For the stress he felt mentally in the carriage, he preferred to enjoy the scorching sun.

"Walking, you think your little legs can keep up with us, hahahaha. Zike took Xavi back his water bladder and took a few more sips.

Harvey looked down at the ants on the ground lining up around his feet. A breeze blew. A hint of soothing coolness made him feel excited.

Seeing Harvey with his head down and not speaking, Zike thought he was a little depressed, and reached out and touched his head, "Harvey, men can't bow their heads, they must always look ahead." ”

Xavi didn't fully understand what Zike was saying, but he looked up into the distance. "Rabbit?"

"Huh, what did you say, Harvey?"

"Uncle Zeke, there was a rabbit there just now. Harvey pointed in a direction ahead.

"Isn't it normal to have a rabbit in the woods?" Zeke didn't know why Harvey was surprised, he thought that Harvey was from Sunset Town, and rabbits and the like should be seen often.

"Uncle Zeke, if you can catch it, I'll be able to give you a taste of rabbit meat you never expected," Harvey said confidently.

"Boy, we mercenaries have been eating these all year round, and we're tired of eating them for a long time, don't lie to me. Zike was still interested in what Harvey was talking about.

"In the evening, you can taste it. ”

"Okay, I'll wait. With that, Zike stood up and walked in the direction Harvey pointed.

"Alright, keep going. With Zike's order, the whole team set off again. Zeke rode at the front of the line, his saddle with roughly prepared rabbit meat.

Harvey was now sitting outside the carriage with the coachman, and was now at ease except that he could not speak loudly. Of course, Xavi was able to sit outside the car, which is also due to Zike.

After another afternoon's journey, in the evening, Zike chose a place to camp, quickly set up his tent, and lit a bonfire. After Harvey stopped the carriage, he came to help Zike set up a tent together.

When everything was arranged, the lady and lady in the carriage came down. Madame looked around, nodded to Zike, and led her daughter to the tent.

Harvey then realized that this aristocratic lady, who was about her age, had been reading since he first stayed in the carriage, and that nothing had disturbed her reading, and that he had not heard her make any sound until now.

"Harvey, what are you looking at? You're not going to be infatuated with someone else, are you?" Zike watched Harvey's gaze follow the young lady and teased Harvey.

"No, I ....... Harvey was about to explain when Zike threw the rabbit meat he had taken off his horse to Harvey, "and then. ”

"Harvey, I'll be waiting for you tonight for this delicious rabbit meal. ”

"Just eat such a little meat?" Looking at Zike's burly figure, Harvey felt that the little rabbit meat in his hand was not enough for him to stuff between his teeth.

"It doesn't matter, every time we go on a mission, we don't eat at night. ”

"Why?"

"It's easy to get sleepy when you're full, and for us who have to keep vigil at night, not eating at night can make our minds clearer. ”

Harvey washed the rabbit meat and began to roast it on the campfire, adding things to it as he roasted it. He had taken the seasonings from the tavern, and he had learned his extremely professional techniques from the proprietress of the house.

Seeing that the rabbit meat was about to be cooked, Zike opened his mouth and said: "Harvey, I admit that your techniques and seasonings are very professional, but I also eat rabbit meat that I have tested in this way, and it is a bit of a brag to say that it is delicious." ”

"It's going to be fine right away, you wait a minute. Seeing that the heat was almost up, Harvey took out a small bottle from his baggage, opened the wooden cork and poured a little bit of small crystal particles on his hand.

"What kind of seasoning is this?" Zike had never seen this seasoning at all.

"It's where the taste comes from. Harvey picked up the roasted rabbit meat and sprinkled the little sparkling particles on it. After a short while, the aroma of rabbit meat suddenly exploded in the air and wafted around the camp. The other three mercenaries and the coachman all smelled the scent and looked at Harvey.

"It smells so good. Zike smelled the deliciousness for the first time, and he swallowed a breath and wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand.

"Trust me now, Uncle Zeke. Harvey deliberately didn't give him the rabbit meat, but shook it in front of him.

"Believe, believe, be careful not to drop. ”

"That's ....... Harvey was about to hand the rabbit meat to Zike.

"Wait a minute. An ethereal, yet determined voice rang out.

Harvey and Zike turned their heads in the direction from which the voice came at the same time, and the young lady who had been reading the book had already walked over.

"What's... Affair... ....... Harvey barely heard the last two words, and the noble lady had torn a small piece of rabbit meat from it, put it in her mouth, and ate it.

"Uh. Xavi and Zike didn't know what to say at this point.

The young lady who finished eating that piece suddenly said to herself: "Sure enough, it's monosodium glutamate." ”

"Ah, what did you say, Miss?" Zike didn't understand or didn't understand clearly, and looked at Harvey at the same time.

Harvey didn't know what the young lady meant by "MSG", and looked puzzled.

"What did you add to this rabbit?" asked the young lady suddenly, turning to Zike.

"Miss, I didn't do this, it was Harvey, I don't know what he added?. Zike explained.

At this time, she noticed Harvey, looking at Harvey, who was about the same age as herself, she suddenly had some thoughts, and she was a little excited, she forcibly calmed down, and asked in an extremely clear voice: "Are you from 20 years?"

"Ah? What is a few in the twenties? Is it a number? I'm from Sunset Town, but my home is in the imperial capital. Although Harvey couldn't understand what the noble lady in front of him was saying, he still roughly answered what he could understand.

"Isn't it. She was a little disappointed and turned around to leave.

Harvey couldn't figure out the situation and looked at Zike, who pointed to the meat in Harvey's hand and gave him a look,

Harvey understood what Zike meant, and chased after him and said, "Miss, if you like this rabbit meat......." Harvey didn't know what to say, "You can take it" or "I'll give it to you" didn't seem appropriate.

"What's your name, and how old are you today?" asked the noble lady suddenly.

"My name is Harvey and I'm 10 years old. ”

"Thank you Harvey, your roasted rabbit meat is delicious, my name is Delis, Augusta, and I'm ten years old. You can just call me by my name, not Miss. Delis's tone and voice gave Harvey the illusion that he was talking to an adult.

"Miss Augusta, I ....... ”

"I said it, just call me by name, and don't take the word Miss!" Delis's tone suddenly became a little serious.

"Delis. "Xavi is easy to compromise.

"Harvey, do you want to give me rabbit meat?"

Harvey nodded.

"I took it, and I could give it to my mother. Delith suddenly approached Harvey and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me any secrets about your roasted rabbit meat?"

"No, nothing, just, just some seasoning that I made myself. Harvey stuttered a little, startled by the sudden approach of Delis, the smell of Perfume on Delis's body rushed into Harvey's brain, he was a little dizzy, and his face was still a little hot.
