6. Inferiority complex
After walking around the store for more than half an hour, Danica looked at the seeds she had selected, calculated the price in her heart, and a few more wanted to buy them, but the twenty gold coins in her hand could only buy up to eight kinds, and the rest could only be abandoned.

"What a pity......"
"What's wrong? Danica, not enough money?"
"Nothing like that!"
Danica glared at Lance and walked up to the boss in a huff.
"Boss, check out!"
Danica pulled out all the gold coins from her purse.
"All this money is enough, boss, you see that I have bought so much, can you give me one or two seeds?"
Lance showed a sure expression and walked over.
"I'll pay for it, you still have to leave a little for the travel expenses, right?"
“…… You're so kind, Lance, I can still pay for it!"
Danica turned her head and pressed Lance's hand to pull the money, giving her a very bright smile.
Lance shuddered, and had to withdraw his hand.
Then, Lance stood by and watched, watching Danica bargain with the boss, pestering in the hope of sending some seeds, pestering for half an hour, and then another customer came, and the shopkeeper announced that he had lost the battle.
"I'm unlucky, I've never seen such a stingy nobleman ask a small merchant to give something away. ”
"Lance, where did we just go?"
Danica laughed and ignored the words, pretending not to hear anything.
"What did you say?ah, what you were talking about, I don't quite remember it, haha. ”
Lance turned to look out of the store, looking at the people passing by outside, playing dumb like Danica.
Finally, leaving the shop, Lance said to Danica.
"If you are in trouble, you can ask me for help, I won't say anything about you, absolutely not. ”
“…… Let's get back to the car first. ”
"You want to go back now? It's too early, isn't it? I've been taking you around for the past two days, and it's rare to come here once, and I have to introduce you to it. However, it's a bit too much to spend only two days, so let's stay here for an extra week. You don't know, the day after tomorrow is the Parade of Magic. ”
"An extra week?
"It's a tradition in Karanslan, and once a week, it's a parade of ordinary people dressed in magician clothes or some monster puppet costumes, and there will be a few magicians performing magic while paraded, and there will be fireworks at night. ”
"Like...... It's funny. ”
As Lance said, it was a rare time to leave Janglut and come to a foreign country, and he had been in a hurry before without stopping to take a good look, and the magic parade that Lance said also made Danica a little tempted.
"It's very interesting, Danica, it's useless not to see it. ”
"After reading it, I'm going back. ”
"Then I'll take you to some particularly famous places. ”
Lance said, "You still want to buy some gifts, right? I only saw you buy seeds, and in the next two days, you can also pick up some things and buy them back for everyone, right?"
"I don't need you to help me decide this! I've thought about what I bought for everyone!"
"Let's get in the carriage first, the place I'll take you to is quite far, and it will take half an hour to take the carriage. ”
Lance smiled and motioned for Danica to get into the carriage, waiting for her to go up before he followed.
The two sat in the carriage, Danica holding a bag of seeds she had just bought, sitting in it, not shaking at all, probably because of the structure of the carriage and the driver's driving skills, it would not be bumpy at all.
"It's nice to be rich. ”
Looking at the interior of the carriage, Danica sighed.
"Yes, I envy you. ”
"What is there to envy ......"
"By the way, Danica, what kind of people do you like?"
"Ahem, why do you suddenly ask such a question?!"
Danica stared out the window at the scenery and almost choked on the words.
"I wonder what a girl like you is thinking. ”
"Huh?"
"You know that Thunder Sword doesn't always speak, and I don't understand what it's thinking, so I want to ask you, what kind of people like like you, what kind of things do you like, let me make a reference. ”
"Seems to make sense......
Danica nodded in confusion.
"But I don't have anything to like......"
"Think about it?"
"If you have to say it, it's a practical ......"
"Practical?"
"Books, medicinal herbs, food, labor tools, etc. ”
“…… It's really practical. ”
"It's up to you to ask, I don't have any elegant hobbies anyway!"
"And what type of people do you like?"
"Hmm, this question ......!"
This sentence completely choked Danica.
"Danica?"
"Why do I have to answer!!"
Danica stood up, blushing angrily and glaring at Lance.
"You did it on purpose, picking on something I never thought about to embarrass me!!"
Lance scratched his cheek and hurriedly said sorry.
"I didn't expect you to react so violently, I didn't mean to, really, I can swear!"
Danica looked at him for a few moments, making sure that Lance really didn't seem to be lying and wasn't deliberately playing tricks on himself, so she let out a sigh and sat back.
"It's good that you didn't mean to. ”
"I can breathe a sigh of relief. ”
Then, the two did not speak again, and unlike the bustle outside, there was some silence inside the carriage.
The two stared out the window in silence, and sometimes the silence was also an embarrassment.
After a few minutes, Danica was the first to stand it, and she looked hesitant and said slowly.
"Well, Lance, there's something I want to ask you for......"
"What?"
"Like this dress, I'll pay you back later...... So, can you ...... Borrow ......"
"It's okay. ”
"Really...... It doesn't matter?"
Danica looked at him with suspicion, as if she couldn't believe it.
"Is that weird? Actually, from the beginning, I could buy you these things, and besides, I don't really need to pay me back this dress, I don't care about that. ”
"It's different, it's different. ”
Danica shook her head.
"Different?"
"I'm different from you, Lance, really different. ”
If it was usual, someone sent something expensive, she would definitely not accept it at the first time, and wondered if the other party had bad intentions. However, coupled with some circumstantial conditions, there is a reason why she can't accept it, and that is her vanity.
She didn't want to be looked at by the servants of the other party's house.
Accepting expensive gifts, after the fact, you have to borrow money from the other party.
"Did you think things were complicated?"
After pondering for a while, Lance still didn't understand.
"You can say it, and I'll listen to it, just like I did every day when I was in the mountain city. ”
"How is it possible, you are now a dragon slayer knight. ”
"Why do you think that? I was the same then as I am now, the same Lance, the master of the Sword of Thunder, the Dragon Slayer Knight. ”
“…… Lance, to be honest, I thought a lot along the way, what are you to me, and I thought we wouldn't cross paths again. Even if you were the owner of the Sword of Thunder before, the identity of the Dragon Slayer Knight has now become a fact that everyone knows. ”
