Sennick College ......

Marilyn's Office ......

……

“……”

“……”

I calmly looked at the dwarf winter melon in front of me......

The dwarf melon calmly looked at me......

Kuya, on the other hand, stood in the corner of the room, looking at us worriedly......

In silence, we spent ten minutes like this......

Suddenly, the corners of my mouth twitched, and I asked, "Do you agree?" ”

The dwarf melon pushed the front of the wizard's hat and looked up at me......

Her half-open eyes lit up, and the shape of her inverted V-shaped mouth was rarely a positive V-shape......

"Hmm......? …… I refuse ......"

……

an hour ago......

Adventurer's Guild Hall......

"Holy! Cow sister, why do you say it again?! ”

The corners of my forehead were bruised, and my dead fish eyes were probably bloodshot......

The corners of Deka's mouth twitched with anger.

She stared at me with a smile and said as politely as possible, "I've explained many times, there are two copies of the task paper, one on the task board...... And the other copy is in the hands of the publisher! ”

Sighing, she pointed to the adventure card I had placed in front of her.

"When you tear off the mission paper, your adventure card will be recorded...... And the task sheet in the publisher's hand will also have a prompt that "the task has been accepted......"

“……”

"So...... You'd better find a way to complete the mission......"

“……”

"Maybe you will be compensated according to the amount of the original remuneration......"

Indemnify?

Hehe......

"I'll it! What will I pay for 100,000 gold coins! Even if you sell me, I'm afraid I won't be able to make up a fraction! ”

My heart almost collapsed!

"Stinky little ghost, you idiot! Knowing that you can't complete the crusade, why do you want to tear up the diamond-level task casually?! You poke out the basket yourself, you figure it out yourself! ”

After accumulating for so long, Dika still broke out......

She threw the adventure card at me.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, even General Mendila wouldn't take on this task...... But the hefty pay is real. ”

“……”

"Look at what! Is it rare to see a cow sister?! Stinky little ghost! ”

“……”

Yes......

If it's a crusade against other monsters, I'll definitely do it no matter what level......

But......

Nima is a tentacle monster for Mao?!

"Small, Little Star......"

Kuya tugged at the corner of my coat and looked at me worriedly......

"Isn't it difficult, isn't it possible that you're afraid of tentacle monsters? Also, that's right, after all, it's quasi-ruined......"

I turned my head to look at Kuya with vacant eyes......

"Huh...... Hehe...... How can it be...... How could I be afraid of something with tentacles like an octopus......"

"But, but your face is pale......

“……”

Well......

Although I don't hate slimes......

But......

I hate things with tentacles so much!

Why?

Have you ever been thrown into a place full of fresh octopus by a bunch of kids when you were a kid?

If so, you'll understand......

Yes...... I've figured it out!

Let's run away......

No! Or tear down this adventurer's union...... And then silence all those who know......

Hahaha! That's a great idea......

Ha ha......

Ha......

"Little, little star! Why are you showing such a terrifying expression, Miss Dika is about to raise the alarm! ”

Kuya shook me desperately before I could recover from my broken thoughts......

I saw Dika holding a diamond-shaped crystal and looking at me with horror on her face......

“……”

“……”

We looked at each other in silence for a moment......

"Tsk......"

Actually smacking your tongue at the same time?!

Dika placed the palm-sized diamond-shaped crystal back into her chest.

She glanced at me: "Don't you think about messing around, even if you are very good, haven't you thought about your partner?" ”

““……””

Kuya and I didn't hear what she said......

Because she just stunned us......

Huh?

Kuya, why are you touching your breasts?

Give it up......

That kind of cow is not something you can just be if you want to be......

"Woo......"

After seeing my face, Kuya actually took a few steps back......

“……”

No way! Is it your sensitivity, or is it that I have something written on my face that I am thinking?!

With a sigh, I retrieved the adventure card and left the Adventurers' Guild with Kuya......

……

Kuya almost burst into tears......

Well...... After all, it's 100,000 gold coins, how can you afford to lose it so easily......

"Don't cry, I'll just slaughter it, right?"

I looked away, trying not to look at those teary eyes......

In other words, can you change your cowardly character?

Kuya was stunned for a moment, but she was still going to cry?!

"That's, that's a quasi-ruined Miè-class monster...... How could we possibly beat ......"

“……”

"Release, rest assured, Xiaoxing, I will definitely help find a way!"

“……”

"Woo......"

“……”

……

It took half an hour, even though Kuya didn't believe that I could fight the Miè-class monsters......

But she agreed to let me go to the forest where it might be found......

Of course......

The condition is that she must be brought......

So we decided to go to Sennick Academy first to help Kuya take a leave of absence.

Kuya hasn't been back to the academy since the wedding ceremony......

I'm afraid that the events of that night left a psychological shadow on her......

……

In order to hide our eyes, we went straight to Dwarf Wintermelon's office through the back door of Sennick Academy.

In fact, it's not just Kuya who is reluctant to return to Sennick Academy......

I don't want to see dwarf winter melons again......

It's not that I hate her, it's that I really don't know what expression to use to face her......

When I think of our confrontation that night, I can only sigh in my heart.

I heard Kuya say that she looked like a protector mage......

Well?

How old is she......

When I guessed the age of the dwarf melon, I had unconsciously arrived at the door of her office.

I subconsciously grabbed the doorknob directly......

As much as Kuya wanted to remind me of something, it seemed a little late......

"Click......

The moment the door opened, I saw a dwarf winter melon holding a black "mask" and gesturing to my chest......

Hearing the change, the dwarf winter melon raised his head......

““……””

Well, I should have knocked on the door......

"Bump!"

I slammed the door shut, startling Kuya, who was about to enter the office.

Then I knocked slowly on the door under her blank gaze......

It's been a long time......

Only then did the sound of dwarf winter melon answer came from the room......

……

After entering the office, Dwarf Winter Melon and I first spent a few minutes in silence......

Then Kuya asked her for leave and explained the general situation......

The dwarf winter melon thought for a long time before he said with a stern face: "Hmm...... I don't agree......"

And then?

And then the scene at the beginning of the chapter happened......

……

I squeezed out a smile and said as gently as I could, "Explain your reasons, will you?" And the student wants to take a leave of absence...... You don't seem to be in a position to say no outright, do you? ”

The dwarf winter melon tilted his neck: "Hmm...... How so...... A month...... It's a bit long......."

After a pause, she turned her V-shaped mouth at Kuya.

"And...... Little Kuya was ...... before Sign up for the ...... The morning sun is sacrificed......"

“……”

"Teenager...... You may be strong...... But what do you think of little Kuya...... Can be attacked by quasi-ruined Miè-level monsters...... Walk away......"

“……”

"Besides......"

"That's enough."

I coldly interrupted the dwarf melon and stared into her slightly panicked eyes......

"Could it be that Kuya continues to stay here...... Can you get out of it all right? ”

I took a step forward......

"Could it be that I'm leaving...... Will you come out to protect her when she is in danger? ”

Dwarf Winter Melon took a step back......

She looked away again......

Tut......

Is it coming again?

Are you going to avoid looking at me again like you did that night?!

I walked right in front of her, before she could react......

He pressed both of her cheeks with both palms and forced her to make eye contact with me......

"So...... Do you say yes or no?! ”
