"Miss, why are you back here?"

"Why can't I come here?"

"That's what I said, but ......"

"If you don't listen, if you don't listen, I don't listen, the guards are annoyed."

"Miss......"

"I'm annoyed, I'm annoyed, I'm annoyed! Escape Guard: Big Badass! ”

Naruto, who hadn't been asleep yet, was woken up by a sound coming from outside the door, and it sounded like the girl was arguing with someone.

The door of the room was pulled open with a 'whew', and then a small figure rushed in, and only then came a shout from outside: "Miss! ”

It seems that the people outside have failed to stop it.

"Ahh The little girl ran to the bed, saw Naruto who had opened his eyes, and said happily, "You really woke up." ”

At this time, the same person who had been dissuading him from outside the house just now also followed, and it was the middle-aged man who had been watching Naruto in the room before. Seeing that his usual calm face was long gone, he said to his eldest lady with a smile and a smile: "Miss, the master just ordered not to disturb the guests' rest, have you forgotten?" ”

"I didn't disturb him to rest." The little girl looked reasonable, pointed at Naruto and said, "Look, isn't he not sleeping, then I won't disturb his rest." ”

The guard only felt that one head and two were big, and he didn't know how to persuade his young lady to go out, and he had to always check whether this child of unknown origin would make a move on the young lady, and he really felt powerless.

The little girl was much more straightforward, grabbing Naruto's hand and dragging him out, dragging him back and saying, "Now, hurry up, let's hang out together." ”

Naruto was in pain all over his body now, and it was almost lifeworthy to be dragged by her like this, but after all, she was kind and self-gracious, but she couldn't say anything. Now Naruto finally understood the mood of the retreat guard, so he had to smile helplessly: "I know, I know, you let go first, I will go with you." ”

The little girl and the others lived on a peculiar solitary peak in the grassland, the summit of which seemed to have been cut off by a large knife, leaving only a spacious flat land. The presence of forests, meadows, lakes and all kinds of small animals makes this place seem to be a small world outside the world, and the surrounding area of Lone Peak is surrounded by an abyss swallowed by darkness, and there is no way out.

For a girl, the most enjoyable thing to do on this mountain is to see the mesmerizing scenery. The girl eagerly shared her secret base with Naruto, and kept trying to tell him where to see the farthest sights, where to pick beautiful flowers, and where to catch cute animals. However, walking around for a long time was really a huge torture for Naruto, who had not yet recovered, and Naruto, who was really unable to persevere, had to beg the girl to stop and rest.

Naruto, who had finally been rested, lazily leaned against the tree and didn't want to move, letting out a sigh of satisfaction. This kind of gameplay is really chic.

Naruto had a girl who was still full of energy and physical strength before, how could she be so quiet. When I turned my head, I saw the little girl sitting quietly under another tree with her hands and knees folded. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

The girl shook her head.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me about it, I still know a little bit about medical skills." Naruto continued, he still had a certain affection for this innocent little girl.

"No......" the girl said in a low voice, so soft that she couldn't hear herself.

"Then why don't you look like you're in good spirits?" Naruto asked with concern.

The girl put her head in her hands and said indistinctly, "You must be bored, don't you?" ”

"Eh, why do you say that?" He was a little confused about the girl's divine turn, but Naruto really didn't feel annoyed, it was just that the pain in his body made him unwilling to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Naruto reassured, "I'm not bored at all, and the scenery is beautiful." ”

However, Naruto's comfort was like triggering a switch, causing the girl to raise her head sharply and say loudly, "But you haven't laughed, you've been tired, in fact, you don't like it at all, you've always hated me, right?" ”

Looking at Naruto's pretty face with tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but say for a while: "Ah, that, how do you say it?" It's not annoying, it's just, it's just ......."

If he said that the pain of his body would inevitably make the innocent girl in front of him feel guilty, Naruto thought for a long time and had to find another excuse: "You see, it's very tiring to run around all the time, right, and you need to rest once in a while." Isn't there a saying that movement and stillness are best together? ”

But Naruto's efforts didn't work, and instead made the girl's tears more and more likely to burst.

Why?

"It's not like I hate you......"

Why?

"I'm happy with you......"

Why do you have that expression?

"So ......"

Am I doing something wrong again?

"I hate you the most!" This was Naruto's last memory of the girl today.

Dinner was brought by the Retreat Guard, and Naruto didn't see the girl and his grandfather again until the lights were turned off and he went to bed.

"Good night, then. I'm right outside the door, you can just shout if there's something going on. The attitude of the guards was much colder than that of the day, and although the burden of monitoring the guards was greatly lightened because of the events that had happened during the day, the young lady had not come to look for this child again, but he would rather have his burden ten times heavier than see the young lady's expression again.

After dark, it was very quiet here, and it should have been a good place to sleep, but at this time, Naruto who was lying on the bed was tossing and turning and unable to sleep, and his mind was full of the girl with tears in the day, and he only felt that his heart was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

"Knock knock." Naruto frantically tapped his fingers on the floor, breaking the silence of the night.

"What's wrong? Can I help you? The guard outside the door heard the movement in the room and asked vigilantly.

"Uncle, your name is Dunbei, right?"

"Ahh What's wrong? ”

"Then I can call you Uncle Dunbei, right?"

"You're a guest of Miss, just call me a retreat."

"Then the guard, can you tell me about your young lady? Anything goes. ”

"......" The retreat guard was silent for a while, and seemed to suppress something and whispered: "What are you still talking about at this time, what qualifications do you have!" ”

"That's why, that's why I want to get to know her better, even if it's a little bit."

"You ......"

"I don't care about anything, so, please tell me about her, it's just a little bit fine......"

“……”

The silence returned to the night, and it was not until a long time had passed that it was broken. As if caught in his own memories, the guard said to himself: "Miss's parents died shortly after she was born, and the only relatives who accompanied her were only the old man. For some reason we settled here away from our original ethnic group, and only a few days a year we return to our original village.

The young lady was a very intelligent child, and had a very gentle heart. I could feel the loneliness of the young lady by her side all the time, but she had spoken out once.

The day before Miss's 3rd birthday, that is, the day before yesterday, the Lord took Miss out to play, that is, on that day, Miss found you lying on the edge of the woods, and that day Miss disobeyed the Lord's will for the first time, and made her own request to the Lord, in exchange for her birthday gift, to save your life!

I had never heard her make any wayward requests, and that day was the first time! It was the first time I saw Miss smile so happily, and that was when he saw you and woke up for the first time! I've never seen her cry before, except today!

Mademoiselle is a pure and flawless gem, but you have left this gemstone with blemishes. To tell you the truth, I wanted to kill you at that time, and at least let you taste the pain that Miss suffered! But... But......

Even if you hurt Miss like that, she will end up... And beg me not to hurt you......" In the end, the retreat guard could no longer continue, and if it hadn't been for the clenching of his fists with both hands, he would have pressed it on the knife.

After that, the guard never said a word again, and Naruto slowly pulled up the quilt to cover himself and closed his eyes.

The night passed quietly, the moon was ready to return to his lodgings for a good night's sleep, and the rising sun woke up the sleeping people.

I'm so stupid that I can't sleep. Naruto, with two dark circles under his eyes, lay on the bed and thought weakly.

In the corridor leading to Naruto's sleeping quarters, a small head suddenly popped out from behind a pillar, quietly looking at the retreat guards sitting outside Naruto's room. Of course, this clumsy hiding technique could not hide the eyes of the guards, but it was clear that the person hiding behind the pillar had not yet been discovered. The guard had no choice but to speak, "Miss, is there something wrong?" ”

The girl who was shouted out of her whereabouts grimaced at the Retreat Guard in dissatisfaction, walked up and pouted, "The Retreat Guard is so boring. ”

Although the words were spoken to the Retreat Guard, his eyes glanced in the direction of Naruto's room.

"No! Miss can't go in! The guard reached out to stop Miss, he really didn't want her to be hurt like that again.

"Cut." The girl cut off dissatisfiedly, and was about to turn around and walk back when she suddenly saw something behind the retreat guard, and exclaimed, "Grandpa, what are you doing there!" ”

"Sir?" I don't understand why the old man suddenly appeared behind him, and the retreat guard hurriedly turned around to look at the young lady's gaze, but immediately understood that he had been deceived by the young lady, and there was no old man behind him. Just as she was about to reach out to stop the young lady, the little girl who had succeeded in her plan had already pulled the door open and locked it shut.

"Miss! Open the door! The guards who were turned away made a crackle on the door, begging their young lady to feel their painstaking efforts to open the door.

"I can't hear you, Retreat." The girl with a triumphant smile said loudly to the door.

Worried about what would happen to the young lady, he was about to break down the door when he felt a tap on his shoulder, stopping his movements.

"Master, miss, she ......," the guard who saw that it was really the master who came over this time whispered.

The old man shook his head and said, "Let her go." ”

"But, sir......"

"It's okay, it's my judgment." After the old man finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving only the retreat guard standing outside the door with a complicated expression.
