The next day, the warm sunlight shone through the cracks in the curtain and onto Lindsay's face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It must be noted that nothing happened that night.

As autumn comes to an end, so do the signs of winter. For example, the temperature difference between day and night, as well as people's drowsiness, the girl seems to be sleeping on such a soft bed for the first time, and she does not open her eyes, turns her head, and continues to sleep.

Leo, who had already woken up, forgot to glance at Lindsay, who was asleep, and thought about today's arrangement.

The first is to find out about the daily necessities and the price of horses, and then to go to the "hidden jungle" to see what is so strange about that E-class mission.

"I'll go out and buy some things, and I'll be back at noon, so stay in the hotel for the time being."

"There is some bread prepared in the room, you can eat it when you are hungry."

The moment he opened the door, Leo turned his back to Lindsay and spoke up.

Although the girl tried to pretend to be asleep, he could still sense the uneasiness in her fluttering eyelashes.

Hearing Leo's voice, Lindsay slammed up from the bed, and said with an annoyed blush on her face that she had seen through the disguise, "Can you take me?" ”

Next door is the mercenaries and personnel of the "Sweet Fruit" Chamber of Commerce, but Lindsay only believes Leo alone.

If she had been asked if she wanted to go with her, she would have hesitated out of fear, but what he was doing now avoided the problem.

Leo, who quietly praised his wit, smiled "Of course" and looked at Lindsay neatly dressed, washed, and ran to him.

"Being clever with a child, I seem to see another side of you." An interested female voice came to my ears, "I thought you weren't good at dealing with children. ”

"Oh, yes, I've discovered another side of you, too."

Leo smiled calmly, meaningfully. Nothing happened last night, but his ears were filled with the screams of the goddess.

Iros was attached to him, and he was rightfully able to watch most of the things that were happening around Leo, and although he saved a lot of trouble due to the systematization of his body, the bath was still unavoidable.

Iros, who had never seen it before, screamed, and finally broke away from Leo's body, closed her eyes, and hid in a corner of the bathroom shivering—she couldn't even get too far away from Leo due to the limitations of her possession.

As for Leo himself, he didn't feel any discomfort, but he regretted that the Moon Goddess was an illusion after all.

Ahem, in fact, he thought that he would have a long time with this goddess in the future, and it seemed good to gain a little initiative in this way.

"You!"

Iros's voice was tinged with anger, and he quickly fell silent.

Holding Lindsay's little hand, Leo went out.

・・・

Last night's tavern incident seemed to have caused a stir in Strange Rock City, and the two of them walked down the streets, attracting some chattering voices and all kinds of curious glances.

Fortunately, there was no negative impact, and he took Lindsay to enter the market of Strange Rock City very smoothly.

But I found an unexpected person, at the door of a rice shop, a girl with brown hair and a big man in cloth.

It was Runo and Kira from the Mercenary Guild, and they didn't expect to meet them at the morning market.

"Oh, little brother, long time no see-so - it turns out that last night's adventurer was you, little brother."

Runo looked at Leo in surprise, and his surprise intensified when he noticed Lindsay beside him, and the big man next to her didn't care about it, just kept smiling kindly.

The four of them were talking a little louder, and the civilians in the market all turned their eyes to it, and the noise became louder and louder, presumably talking about the events of last night.

"Let's go to the mercenary union, we bought good tea this time~"

Runo glanced around inadvertently, then smiled at Leo.

It seems that the idea of buying something has been difficult to realize lately. Feeling the many eyes around him, Leo thought and nodded.

Pushing aside the growing crowd, the four of them arrived at the mercenary union and carefully closed the door, and both Runo and Kira breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry for the trouble."

Leo apologizes, but instead of responding to him directly, Runo instead puts a complicated gaze between Lindsay and him, moving back and forth.

The big man named Kira sighed and put down the bag in his hand, revealing a full load of fine rice - there was no such thing as "fine tea" in it.

Could it be that the people of the Altai Chamber of Commerce have infiltrated the mercenary union?

"Behind me, Lindsay."

Leo frowned and whispered, and Lindsey suddenly obediently walked behind him.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little tense, and Runo seemed to have just reacted, and said with a wry smile: "You are too careful, Mr. Adventurer, we are not from the Altai Chamber of Commerce, and we don't have anything wrong with that girl." ”

"I believe you saved this girl with your considerations, and I won't go into more detail about the human trafficking in Qiyan City."

"But there is one thing that I feel compelled to warn you of."

"This girl is not as simple as you think, and the reason why she escaped from the Altai Chamber of Commerce was not because her alcoholic father sold her."

"The truth of this matter is known to very few people."

"She doesn't actually have a father, she's a pagan alchemist that the Altai Chamber of Commerce and the Church have been hunting down."

Leo's pupils shrank suddenly, and Runo's words shook his brain with a strong impact.

At the same time, he felt that Lindsay's little hand grasping his clothes was a little harder.

"As for the drunkard father who sold her, he was actually the person invited by the Altai Chamber of Commerce, with the purpose of arresting her and disposing of her in a proper way."

The alchemist of the pagan religion may have a strange treasure, but as long as it is discovered by the public, the forces of the Luna Sect will give priority to dealing with the infidels, perhaps with the psychology of stealing food, the Altai Chamber of Commerce took a fancy to this girl named Lindsay, and used various means to hide her identity, and set up a good show, but I didn't expect to kill Leo halfway.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Placing his hand on Lindsay's tiny hand, Leo asked calmly.

"We only recently learned about it, and we just want to stay away from the dispute."

At Runo's signal, Kira glanced apologetically at Leo and took out a rubbing assignment from the counter, which was the E-class assignment that Leo had received.

"Neither the Altai Chamber of Commerce nor the Luna Cult are existences that we can provoke, sorry, but we can only say here, Mr. Adventurer."

A small fire appeared on Runo's hand, she was a magician, and the paper was reduced to ashes in the flames, indicating that Leo's mission had been unilaterally canceled and that the agreement left on Leo's side had lost its validity.

The mercenary union's consideration is that once the fact that Leo harbors a pagan alchemist is exposed, the mercenary union involved with him will inevitably not be happy.

Looking at Kira's gesture of please, Leo had no doubt that if he still wanted to stay, he would have to be kicked out by this big man.

It seems that it is not the so-called burden that has been saved, but explosives, Leo smiled bitterly for the first time, got up and left with Lindsay.

"Iros, since this girl is a pagan alchemist, why don't you notice anything?"

The moment he walked out of the door of the mercenary union, Leo asked with some confusion.

"Her magic is so weak that it's normal that I didn't notice it. In the end, heretics are just ordinary people who do forbidden things. His voice turned, a little serious, "So, you better hurry up and hand over this girl to the branch of the Luna Sect here, otherwise you will probably be targeted by my followers." ”

Seemingly disgusted with the heathen, Iros was reluctant to dwell on the subject and showed hostility towards Lina.

"I don't think I'm going to leave her behind."

Leo looked down at Lindsay and thought for a moment.

The reappearance of all the ruins in the mountains of Taeam Castle made his heart stir inexplicably.

"You don't really want to be an enemy of the Moon God Sect, do you?" Sensing the fierceness in Leo's heart, the female voice in his ear became nervous, "Then again, after so many days, I still haven't seen through who your god of faith is, your power is really strange..."

"I wouldn't have been involved in the fight if I didn't have to."

Iros felt it visibly, Leo's voice cooled, and she was almost certain that as long as the people of the Luna Cult found him, it would be a massacre without suspense.

"Even if, even if you defeat the evil god—" the pleasant voice hesitated, "but if you really stand on the opposite side of the moon god, you and I will become enemies." ”

He knew that sooner or later Iros would find out that he was not the brave man she imagined, that he did not believe in any gods, and that sooner or later he would stand in opposition to the moon god.

I just didn't expect that there would be disagreements here, and the changes would come too quickly.

"You should know very well that I'm not afraid of the luna."

Leo burst out laughing, his words startling Iros.

Even the evil gods who had imprisoned her for a long time could be killed, and ordinary gods were probably no match for him, let alone small believers.

Realizing this, Iros finally discovered that in the body of this seemingly brave man, there was a soul no less than that of the Demon King. She was silent, knowing that no word could shake Leo. And she can't do anything until her magic returns.

"Your purpose is only to seek a way to resurrect, I have shown you the way, can you please not be an enemy of the Luna Cult?"

Iros never seemed to plead, and his words were staccato.

Leo's whispering took Leo by surprise, and he thought she would threaten in a fit of rage, or be willing to die rather than possess him again.

"As a reward for showing the way, I have already paid for the two things of saving you and promising you to possess you." He paused, "You're proposing new conditions to me, so you need to correspond—"

"- New chips?"

The last four words made Iros a little frightened and overwhelmed.

She didn't know how to bargain, and suddenly had an illusion that attaching to this knight's body was by no means as simple as she imagined.

，

The surrounding streets suddenly resounded with the sound of armor shaking, interrupting the argument between Leo and Iros, and the rapid and powerful stampede converged on both sides, and under the blazing sun, the street entrance was occupied by bright silver knights, and the crowd that saw the bad situation had long since dispersed.

From a distance, the knights at the two street corners were like a silver torrent, with a terrifying and neat majesty.

Behind him was the door of the mercenary union, which had been closed a long time ago, and Leo looked at the street, and at some point, the windows and doorway were already closed.
