Chapter 18: Each other's hearts

"Hah~"

The energetic Raphtalia is desperately fighting monsters.

Three days have passed since the events of the castle duel.

Now the bad comments about me in the city have begun to increase, and the most talked about is that the three brave men of the bow and spear sword jointly sanctioned the demon of the shield, but because of the relationship between the coming tide and the kindness of the three brave lords, the three brave lords begged the king to give the demon of the shield a chance to help when the tide hits......

Hehe, this statement is probably the masterpiece of the Three Yong Sect.

Of course, there is another version circulating among adventurers.

The Shield Demon defeated the Spear Warrior and the Bow Warrior who came to his aid, and the Sword Warrior tried to convince the Shield Demon but was taunted and abused. In the end, in the Armageddon, it was a raccoon subhuman girl who hugged the demon of the shield, and she didn't know what to say, causing the demon's killing intent to begin to fade......

Hey~,Regardless of that version, I'm a demon.

It's enough, I don't know when 'enough is enough' became my mantra.

"Ghost Genius"

Raphtaliya pulls a one-horned monster as strong as a cow.

"Hee-hee, lunch"

Raphtalia smiled innocently at me sitting on the grass.

With a black line on my face, I turned to look at the mountain-like piece of monster meat behind me.

I sighed helplessly and said, "Yes, I understand"

The shield is transformed, and the small shield is cooked.

Disintegrate skill on

Double Strength skill activated

The seasoning correction effect is turned on

I lifted a large iron plate with a diameter of about 10 meters and placed it on the stone stove that had been erected in advance.

I'll go, it's really heavy, it's right to turn on the strength skill.

Whew~, take out a variety of seasonings from the shield storage cabinet, and sprinkle them evenly on the meat.

While the meat was still cooking, I took out the Euctlasil potion and began to ponder.

It has to be said that it was right to spend a lot of time and money making this medicine at that time.

When I got home that day, Raphtalijaq and I drank a whole bottle of the Utdrasil potion, and Raphtaliya was instantly cured, and I was fine, and my belly, which had been cut by a tree, was repaired and restored at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

The rest is the side effect of the cursed series of weapons, and now my level has regressed by more than ten levels, and now it has become a state of level ten again, and the experience points of fighting monsters and upgrading have become low.

Originally, you could get 300 experience points by beating a three-headed black dog, but now you only have 3 experience points, and I almost cried when I saw this.

In the last two days, in order to recover the level, Raphtalia and I have been farming monsters outside, and as a result, Raphtaliya is already level thirty-six, and I am still hovering in level ten.

Hey~, that's enough.

I looked at Ravtaliya, who was eating meat in a large chunk with a cute face, and I was a little emotional, I can really eat it, can't I get fat if I eat so many things, is the physique of a legendary foodie?

But eating so many things, it will be more or less a little developed, recalling the soft touch of that day, I can't help but look at Raphtagria's ~

"Ghost Genius, what are you thinking about about rudeness?"

Ah, the mind is seen through.

What to do, do you want to answer? Let's just not listen.

I turned my head away and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Ghost Genius, please don't ignore my question"

It's really unforgiving.

"It's because of your attitude that others think you're a pervert, please correct your attitude."

"No, no, no, that one was wronged. Even if there is, it doesn't matter, because I'm a brave man, and I'll be forgiven."

"Click"

A long sword rested around my neck.

"Ghost Genius, please stop this kind of irresponsible speech"

Raltaliah smiled grimly, menacingly.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. As a brave man, I shouldn't think about such a nasty thing."

Feeling threatened with my life, I raised my hands in surrender.

I always felt that there was something wrong with my guidance, and in a sense some part of Raphtalia was becoming more and more like me.

"Speaking of which, I'm going to go to the slave merchant today."

"Really? Is it because the ghost asked for something a few days ago?"

"Well, today the slave trader's men found me"

"Is it~"

Raftalia had a look of loss.

"What's the matter, Raphtalia"

"Ghost Genius~"

"What's wrong?"

"Ghost Talent, I've always thought that Ghost Talent-sama knows what will happen later"

"Huh?!"

"It's like reading the script, the ghost seems to know what is happening later, and may~ maybe the encounter with me is also arranged by the script...... Same"

Questioned?

What a tricky question, is Raphtalia the same as I was at the beginning?

Questioning everything here that is pre-arranged, afraid that we are just puppets with strings and just being controlled by people.

Looking at the lost Raftalia, my heart is so uncomfortable.

My heart hurts a little.

I stood up and took Raftalia, who was sitting on the trunk of the tree, in my arms.

"Ghost ...... What are you doing?"

Raphtalia, who didn't react, blushed, and her hands shook up and down on the left and right.

"Raphtalia"

"Yes, I'm here"

Hear me shouting.

Raphtalia's expression softened, and she snuggled meekly into my arms.

"Actually~"

"Needless to say, Lord Ghost, I already know what you want,"

"Huh?."

"By the time you call my name, my doubts have dissipated"

"Yes."

"Yes, I believe in the Oni-sama."

"Raphtalia, it's good to meet you, for the first time I want to say thank you to fate, it was he who made me meet you"

I lowered my head and made eye contact with Raphtalia.

Neither of them spoke, but they could understand each other's minds.

Someone once said that the most beautiful relationship is that he is silent, but she~ understands.

Although we are not a couple, this sentence applies very well to us now~

"Whatever you want to know in the future, I'll tell you"

"Yes, Oni-sama."

I hugged Raphtalia tightly, and I felt the soft touch again~~

"It's so big~"

…………

…………

Yes!

It's miserable~

Inadvertently spoken.

Now I'm in a cold sweat

"Poof"

A hard elbow hit me in the lower abdomen.

It hurts! Although I thought it would be like this, I didn't think it would hurt so much.

I was half-kneeling on the grass, clutching my stomach, when suddenly a chill came from behind me and I looked back.

"Ghost Genius really can't remember.,It seems that you can only let your body remember the behavior you should have as a brave first"

Raftalia stood behind him, a grim smile on his face.

Hey, hey, hey, it's going to die, I'm now three times as high as Raphtalia, and I'm affected by the curse effect, and my shield's defense can't work out of its original effect.

"Wait, Raftalia I was wrong, I really know it's wrong. I'm still injured, just let me go this time, if I fight, I'll die. ”

"There's still three bottles of Utdrasil potions in the Devil-sama's shield, right?"

What is this statement? Do you have to beat me up?

"I use this as a sword, and I swear to the brave man of the shield that I will definitely cut off the obscene thoughts that entangle the ghost genius."

Hey? Why do you want to sing, and don't use special combat skills?

Cut off the nasty thoughts? Wait, why draw your sword, instinctively I protect the bottom.

"Raphtalia, calm down, please calm down, please turn back to that lovely and gentle Raphtalia."

"Lord Ghost, please don't imitate my tone and beg for mercy!!"

"Ah......h
