(There is also a half-chapter special at the end of the volume, try to send it out at nine o'clock, if it doesn't work, wait until tomorrow morning.) Although, I think this notice seems to have become my own sentimentality. ）

Zhou Yan finally appeased Youyou, and the two of them were walking on the streets of Winter Rock City at the moment.

After the war with the demons, you can also see that many damaged houses have been rebuilt. Far from making Winterstone look degraded, it was full of energy.

As for the demons, I heard that the demons had already built fortifications in the West Rock Field, and it seems that they want to use it as a base as the first step in their invasion plan against the kingdom of Pander.

And the Pander Kingdom is gathering troops to defeat the demons in one fell swoop and destroy the Twin Gate Teleportation Array.

In the entire Winter Rock City, only the east gate is now open, and the other gates are under martial law. In order to give the army enough time to assemble and hold back the pace of the demons, the adventurers' guild also issued a mission to encourage adventurers to go to the western forest to crusade against the demon scouts.

In short, although the atmosphere outside Winterstone City is very strict now, inside Winterstone City, there has not changed much, and people are still doing what they have to do. The only thing that is a little more troublesome is probably the refugees who have fled from some villages and towns west of Winterstone.

On the first day of defending Winterstone, Louise's City Lord's Mansion had already begun to settle these refugees. Although the influx of refugees has brought about a certain number of security problems. Overall, though, the impact isn't too great.

Of course, Zhou Yan felt that the atmosphere in the city had not changed much, and it might be just because he had lived in this city for a short time, so he did not have a deep impression of the atmosphere before Winter Rock City.

Youyou and Zhou Yan walked side by side, but there was a person's width in between. Along the way, Yoyo's face was frighteningly red, and whenever Zhou Yan wanted to talk, she let out a short exclamation as if she was greatly frightened, and then shrank to the side. Seeing Zhou Yan's posture, he had no idea of continuing to speak.

It's been going on long enough. Zhou Yan slowed down again and shouted to Youyou, "Youyou." ”

"Ahh As if frightened, the girl cowered to the side. After a period of more than ten seconds, he walked back to the original distance with a slight cringe, still maintaining a position with Zhou Yan alone, and bowed his head without saying a word.

"Really!" This has happened a few times, and Zhou Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and his tone became quite impatient: "Hey, if you knew that this would be the case from the beginning, then don't say that kind of thing!" Why are you shy after the fact every time! You communication blockage magician! ”

"Huh! Why are you angry? It's obvious that Mr. Yan is deliberately finding fault! However, Yoyo seems to have finally reached its limit and began to explode. The red eyes also glowed red: "Speaking of which, it's not Mr. Yan who reminds me of it...... ......Uhh It's not Mr. Yan who asked me to ...... Woo...... I didn't say it because of the atmosphere! Why am I being by you now! ”

Although it is said to have exploded, every time the word "remember" is spoken, it remembers the events of that day, and then lets out a pitiful and sad cry, which is really lacking in momentum.

The two glared at each other, looking like two vindictive children.

It wasn't until this kind of staring at each other that the two of them began to be embarrassed, and the scene ended with the scene of not knowing whether to laugh first, and then the other person laughed after him.

"Ha, hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

The two of them who were laughing breathlessly, and after they slowly calmed down, Zhou Yan said, "Okay, have you calmed down, right?" ”

"Uh-huh." Yoyo wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes because of laughter, and nodded: "As long as Mr. Yan doesn't think about me again...... It's just fine......"

The pause in the middle is probably because I can't help but think of that scene and that passage and react shyly. But at this moment, Youyou also calmed down, and after she took a few deep breaths, she said to Zhou Yan with a calm attitude: "Mr. Yan, please, fulfill your promise." ”

"Promise?" Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that before stepping into Winter Stone City that day, he had made an agreement with Youyou that when the matter was over, he would tell her about the glass and the gods.

"Okay, though, we can't say it here, let's find a relatively quiet environment."

Yoyo didn't object, nodded and agreed to Zhou Yan's request.

I always feel as if I've forgotten something. As he walked forward, Zhou Yan looked back behind him, but what was it? Alas, forget it, whatever.

Somewhere, in the face of an unfamiliar environment, Li left Zhou Yan alone because he was angry, and at first he was happy to hang out because of curiosity, but now he feels overwhelmed because he is lost.

"What, what should I do......" Li looked around, but couldn't find Zhou Yan's figure. Even if you want to return to your own space, you must be by Zhou Yan's side.

Li, who had no choice, was about to call Zhou Yan directly in his heart when he felt a tap on the shoulder: "What are you doing here?" ”

……

……

You need to find a quiet place, but there is no place in the city that meets the requirements. So Youyou and Zhou Yan could only decide to go out of the city.

Fortunately, the two of them, both of whom have the status of adventurers, can easily get out of the city as long as they take on the task of crusading against the demons in the guild.

Given that Zhou Yan had lost Wang Yujian at this time, it was equivalent to losing his combat effectiveness. The two of them didn't stray too far from the city, but came to a hillside outside the east gate of Winterstone.

From here, you can see Winterstone from afar. However, when he stood still, Zhou Yan did not speak.

"So, that, why don't you speak?" Youyou looked at Zhou Yan suspiciously.

"Uh, it's nothing, I just remembered one thing......" Zhou Yan scratched his head slightly embarrassed, and turned his gaze to the side looking a little weak.

Just now, Zhou Yan, who was going to explain things about the gods, wanted to make it easier to understand things, so he wanted Liya, who could now appear in the outside world, to appear. Then he reacted when he thought about it, and after the last time Li appeared, he left first because of a quarrel with himself.

Now, I don't know where the glass is. There are no mobile phones or anything in this world. Because the glass is present in the outside world and leaves on its own. He has no concept of magic, and he has not fully adapted to Zhou Yan, who has magic stored in reality, and even forgot to try to call Li in the way of mental communication.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's really okay."

"Well, I'll start talking." Zhou Yan adjusted his breathing, and then said, "Then, Yoyo, let's dissolve the team, right?" ”

"Huh?"

But when he found that Youyou was more confused because of his words, Zhou Yan could only wave his hand and say, "Okay, okay, I'll explain it to you now......"

After speaking, Zhou Yan didn't care whether Yoyo had concentrated his attention or not, and began to tell all about Li, about Liu, about the self-asserted former only god, and about the competition that the only god single-handedly promoted. Of course, it also includes things such as Zhou Yan's idea of trying to win over Youyou, and so on.

Yoyo was rightfully immersed in shock. Zhou Yan didn't speak, just stood in place while studying the black iron ring that was said to be Wang Yujian, while waiting for Youyou to sort out the information.

"Eh, eh, !!eh,

I don't know how long it was, ten minutes? Dozens of minutes? An hour? Or longer?

In short, the wait ended with a sudden series of exclamations from Yoyo.

"So, so that's why I'm here? Sense, I don't feel like there's any real feeling...... "Yoyo doesn't seem to know what expression to use to express his feelings here: "And, and because I wasn't chosen by a god like Mr. Yan's mouth, is it called a blank?" That is, the blank account that Mr. Yan said? ”

"That's it, but although it's an account or something, it's just a metaphor. You're still you, and you're still a real person. Regardless of whether Yoyo misunderstood, Zhou Yan explained: "Moreover, there is no need to call that guy an adult, and there is no need to be respectful." ”

"Huh? But, Mr. Yan, if you don't respect the gods, you will suffer God's punishment, right? Regarding Zhou Yan's attitude, Youyou persuaded with some uneasiness.

"If the gods were like that guy, then I'd be the most staunch atheist to deny them!" Zhou Yan pursed his lips disdainfully: "And the god who will threaten others with the curse of heaven, where is it like a god?" ”

……

Somewhere in Winter Rock City, Glass suddenly sneezed: "Tweet! ”

"What's wrong, meow?" Bai Yin, who was walking side by side with Li, asked.

"Hmm. It's nothing. After rubbing his itchy nose and responding, Li viciously whispered, "That guy must be talking bad about me again!" ”

……

"But, even if that's the case, why did Mr. Yan disassociate with me?" Yoyo still seems puzzled.

"Isn't that a very clear thing?" Zhou Yan covered his forehead speechlessly: "I lied to you, I just wanted to take advantage of you." ”

"But, having said that, isn't Mr. Yan's idea to win me over as a companion?" After saying this question, he whispered to himself:

"And, the words of the companion...... Companion...... Friend...... Sort of, happy. ”

"Did you say anything?"

"No, nothing!"

Yoyo, who showed a panicked expression, perfunctory, said in order to change the topic: "Mr. Yan, since you want me to be a companion, isn't it nothing?" ”

"Even so, the original purpose was only to use you to help me win this competition."

"So, Mr. Yan is too sharp!" Yoyo angrily crossed his waist and counted the landings.

Why am I being preached? Zhou Yan felt inexplicable in his heart.

But Yoyo has already continued to speak: "Friend, isn't that what should be relied on?" ”

"I, I'm talking about utilization!" Zhou Yan retorted.

"In other words, isn't it just dependence!" However, Yoyo retorted with a stronger attitude.

"Moreover, I am also very happy to be able to be relied on by Mr. Yan!" When she said this, the girl showed a frank smile and scratched her cheek a little shyly: "So, please don't say anything about using it or anything like that, and take care of yourself." As a friend to be relied on, Mr. Yan was the first person to say this to me. ”

"You, what a ......"

"Huh? What's wrong with me? ”

Regarding Zhou Yan's sudden helpless expression, Yoyo was very puzzled. At this moment, although Zhou Yan had a helpless and troubled expression, he didn't even notice that the corners of his mouth had been hooked.

Why do you say such shy things at every critical moment?

Zhou Yan is half shy and half ...... It was a joy that he himself did not want to admit......

However, even if it is so, it will not work, it must be refuted......

"But, I won't trust you, you know? We are competitors! I won't trust you! Maybe I'll kill you when I think you're a threat! "That's, childlike scoundrel words.

Yoyo, who was so shy that he wanted to commit suicide before, showed a gentle expression: "Well, but, obviously you can't come to me, but you still rush into the forest regardless of the threat, you can ignore it, but you still send the child you don't know back to the village, obviously you want to kill your enemy, but you still take care of Li-sama and don't kill the other party." I think that even if you don't have to be trusted by Mr. Yan like this, you can ...... No, you can definitely be friends. ”

"Ahh That's why you! Why! ”

Why can you say such shocking words as if nothing happened? Obviously, I will be so shy that I want to die, and I don't even want to go out of the door!

But! But......

Zhou Yan didn't know where to put his gaze, just like last time, he was shaken by the other party's words, and he was really embarrassed by his joy.

I came to another world, maintaining an attitude of suspicion and trusting no one so that I could avoid being hurt. I'm cowardly, so desperately trying to pretend to be strong and cold, desperately trying to make myself look sane and cold......

But...... Even so, I can't help but want to......

"Yoyo ......"

Stop it......

"That, please ......"

I wouldn't trust her......

"Please ......"

Isn't this kind of thing like being redeemed by her...... I don't want ......

"Be teammates with me."

As a result, did you still say it......

Zhou Yan, who stretched out his hand and showed an extremely embarrassed expression......

Yoyo laughed, obviously younger, and usually easy to be shy, Yoyo was as gentle as a sister at the moment: "Well, please give me more advice in the future, Brother Yan." ”

Then, she gently shook Zhou Yan's hand.
