That is to say...... This time, you didn't keep up? ”

In the cramped hut, the blue-haired woman who closed the door leaned against the corner of the wall, crossed her arms and asked, "You failed again?" ”

Ning Lan understood what Mr. was thinking now. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Facing the other party's questioning, the maid holding the broom still kept smiling: "So...... Ning Lan was not sad at all. ”

"What do you think now...... It has nothing to do with me. She chuckled, "I just want to find him as soon as possible." ”

"Ning Lan didn't mean that."

The maid bowed slightly: "Ning Lan is also very supportive of Miss's plan, but it's just ......"

"Alright, alright."

Looking at the red-haired girl who was standing on the side and was a little at a loss, she raised her hand to interrupt the other party's words: "Since you are so soft-hearted, what about ...... I'll do it myself. ”

"He went to the West Gate, didn't he?"

In the maid's nod, the blue-haired woman lowered her head and exhaled a long breath, then picked up the saber she had just put down, turned around and walked out of the place, leaving only Ning Lan, who was still smiling, and the red-haired girl who was still confused.

"She, she ......" her lips trembled for a long time, and the thousand paper cranes slowly raised a finger: "What kind of attitude is she!" ”

"Most of the people here are not ordinary people." The maid glanced at the maid, and then went about her cleaning, as if she was not going to explain any more: "...... Except for the regimental commander. ”

"Want to join our adventure party, you ...... You still need to be mentally prepared. ”

"No, no, that woman's ...... just now"

Remembering that when he had just entered this room, the other party looked at his eyes, and the thousand paper cranes who felt the inexplicable pressure once again retracted the words he wanted to blurt out: "Uh...... I mean, she's she, she's looking at me like that......"

"As it stands, Miss Thousand Paper Cranes, you...... Not yet a member of our party. The sound of sweeping the floor surrounded Ning Lan's side in the secret voice: "So...... You're still here, but you're going to cause misunderstanding among others. ”

“…… Hum. ”

Some images came to mind, and the thousand paper cranes who finally reacted let out a coquettish snort from their pointed noses, and then ran to the side with their arms crossed: "I don't want it, it's in my dictionary...... But I didn't give up these two words! When will your regimental commander come back? I'm going to talk to her personally! ”

"It may be a while before the head of the regiment returns, and the exact time ...... Ning Lan can't be sure, if you have to wait......"

“…… All right. ”

The red-haired girl looked fixedly at the other party who was cleaning the room with her head down, and then responded sullenly, and slowly sat down on the ground against the corner. She hugged her knees a little lowly, as if thinking about something, but after a moment she got rid of this depression and began to look forward to the bright future she had imagined, and at the same time had the leisure to look at the little room she had been to twice. The only chair in the room had been placed behind the small wooden table, and there was no furniture left for people to rest in, which made the girl sitting on the floor feel a little unhappy, but looking at the maid with the broom and the maid who didn't seem to stop cleaning, her mood gradually changed, because since she began to work like a housekeeper, the maid's beautiful face has always maintained a touching smile.

She had nothing to do, so she began to ask without a word.

"You...... No, no, it's your adventure party...... Who are you now? ”

"There are currently five of us in the Fool's Adventure Party, and you should know that." The maid with her head bowed replied quietly, "In addition to the few people you met yesterday, there is another person named Xiao Hongchen, whom you haven't seen yet." ”

"Laugh...... Laughing at Hongchen? This name doesn't seem to be as good as mine......"

Secretly pursing his lips, the thousand paper cranes looked at the low ceiling, and began to recall the scene in the wooden house by the river last night: "That...... What about the uncle? It's called the Smiling Butcher's ......."

“…… According to the regimental commander they say, the smiling butcher with ...... Another player, who was also a member of the party. The maid smiled and replied, "But then for various reasons, they all left." ”

"In that sense, they are also the founders of this adventure group."

"Hmmm......"

A long tail note dragged out of her nose, and the girl looked at the maid who was spinning in front of her with a broom: "Then, when did you come to this group?" ”

"Miss Liuyu and I found this place later." Secret whisper Ning Lan whispered: "I'm glad that the head of the regiment can take a fancy to us and let us join here." ”

"I want to come now...... Ning Lan is really lucky. ”

"This ......," the girl asked cautiously, "is it ...... What are the rules for joining your party...... Is it hard? ”

"Well...... this"

Stopping her cleaning, the maid on the ground with one hand straightened up slightly, and the fingers of the other hand rested on her chin: "Ning Lan originally thought that Captain Mengzhu was a very good talker, but now it seems that it seems to be ...... She's not a team leader who resigns herself to her teammates. ”

"That ......" rubbed her hands a little uneasily, and the girl looked at each other secretly: "Do you have any tricks or something?" Like what she likes and what she hates......"

"Ning Lan doesn't know."

The maid looked at each other for a moment, then smiled brightly.

"Hey, just forget it......

The girl put her knees together again, and fell into an unspeakable silence, until the maid, who seemed to be immersed in cleaning, finally put down the broom in her hand, and then she asked the next question sullenly: "You ...... Where are you all doing now? ”

"If you're referring to events like fighting monsters and leveling up organized in the game, we don't have any activities."

“…… Yes? ”

"In addition to making money and talking about business, the head of the group usually doesn't care much about us." Whispering Ning Lan picked up a rag that had been conjured out of nowhere, and began to wipe the small square table in the corner: "So we usually have more free time. ”

"This, this...... So how do you get stronger? No, before that...... How did you survive, aren't prices very high in the capital? ”

"The question of surviving is nothing to us." The maid's answer was with a slight smile: "Even the head of the regiment who runs back and forth just likes to make money." ”

“……”

The girl who was speechless again looked at the other party fixedly for a long time, and seemed to have lost the focus of her eyes: "Your adventure group is really powerful......

"Our party isn't well-known at all right now." The maid shook her head slightly: "I don't even have a station, so I can only stay in this small room every day...... However, Ning Lan is still very satisfied. ”

"It's a place, it's a people." Showing a bright smile again, Ning Lan whispered, "Ning Lan will try to protect them." ”

Perhaps a little unsure of how to respond, the red-haired girl fell silent again, and with her eyes buried between her knees, she quietly looked at the maid player who was happy to clean the room, as if thinking about what the other party had just said, and the meaning of the presence of this player dressed like this. The maid, who was still busy, didn't seem to care about the other party, but wiped everything in the room in an orderly manner, sorted out the potted plants placed in the corner of the wall, and the documents on the small wooden table, and then took out a set of tea sets in the nearly noon sun, like a trick, and placed them elegantly on the square table in the corner.

"You ......"

The girl's eyes widened, and Ning Lan brewed the liquid in those teacups in three or two clicks, and then slowly brought it to her: "Miss Thousand Paper Cranes...... Would you like to taste it? ”

"No, no, no, that ......"

"This is a drink developed in the Blue Island, and it tastes like black tea." Looking at the girl who looked a little flustered, Ning Lan smiled even sweeter: "Please feel free to taste it." ”

"No, no, no, I wouldn't taste something so high." The girl smiled dryly and waved her hand: "It's better not to waste it......"

"Hey, is Miss Thousand Paper Crane hungry?" Secret whisper Ning Lan looked at the other party suspiciously: "Or ...... Still can't look down on Ning Lan's skills? ”

"No, no, I didn't mean that." The smile on the red-haired girl's face stiffened even more: "That and that...... By the way, I'm just hungry, you see it's noon, and it's almost time, ahahaha......"

“…… In that case, Ning Lan will prepare an afternoon meal. ”

The maid looked at the other party for a while, and then slowly straightened up: "How can you say that you are also a guest now, we can't neglect your ......"

“…… Yes? The red-haired girl hurriedly jumped up: "No...... No, no, no! I'm not an outsider......"

"If Mr. Qingshan knows, maybe he will blame Ning Lan." The maid who seemed to ignore the other party turned around and walked out of the door, and her voice became farther and farther away: "According to Ning Lan's understanding, your meal is also very large......"

"Wait, wait!" The red-haired girl stood in place for a second, then chased after her robe: "I'll just come by myself!" ”

*********************

The situation at the end of lunch is unknown to others, but the girl named Thousand Paper Crane did not come back. Dozens of minutes later, the smiling maid calmly returned to the place, she looked around the room, cleaned up the teacups that had cooled down, and then stood quietly in the corner of the hut, like a statue of a goddess standing still, quietly waiting for the next person to arrive. It didn't take long for Mengzhu, who was wearing black leather armor, to push open the door in a hurry, and broke into this small room full of energy: "Big-home-good!" What is the situation today...... Hey? ”

"Why are you the only one?" The little girl shouted dissatisfiedly, "What about Uncle Qingshan? It's not for him to ......."

"Mr. Aoyama is out on a mission." The maid who opened her eyes replied with a smile, "I haven't come back yet." ”

"Why did he go out again?"

The pouting little girl staggered to the center of the room, and then sat down at the back of the wooden table, she held her cheeks and thought for a while, and unconsciously picked up one of the stacks of papers that had been laid out with one hand: "Hmm...... What is the situation today? Did anyone come to the door? ”

"So far, only one person has been here." Ning Lan replied, "Mr. Aoyama has already talked to him, and the other party said...... Will think again. ”

“…… Well, after all, it's a temporary idea, and you can't expect too much. The little girl flipped through the pages that Duan Qing had flipped through before: "What about these...... It's all before, right? ”

"Yes, I tidied up a little with Mr. Aoyama." The maid smiled and nodded, "The commissions and work that our adventure group has undertaken so far are all here now. ”

"What about the others?"

"Miss Liuyu is out of the house, she should be going to complete some of these commissions, Mr. Xiao Hongchen...... Not back yet. ”

"That guy...... I probably went to some other place to go wild. ”

Finding a piece of bread from the bag behind his back, Mengzhu pouted helplessly: "What about Uncle Qingshan?" Where did he go? ”

"West Gate." Ning Lan replied quickly, "But it's not there yet...... Ning Lan can't be sure. ”

“…… Hmph, if I find out that he is lazy again, or that he is in trouble, see how I clean him up! ”

Having said this with resentment, the little girl nibbled on the food in her hand as she began to check the papers on the table, confirming the party's existing commissions and tasks. The maid who didn't say a word still stood behind her with a smile, trying her best to maintain the tranquility in the room, and then when the other party was about to finish eating, she took out her own set of teacups again: "Captain." ”

"Hmm...... Thank you. ”

Subconsciously took the teacup, the little girl nodded in response, and then continued to look at the things on the table while drinking tea: "The goods of Fenghua Town...... It seems a little far, the city guard's defense recruitment...... Who would do such a thankless thing! Gathering foxtail grass ...... Where does this grass grow? ”

"On the Plains of Ferron, Commander."

"War zone...... No wonder the bid is so high. So the little girl threw it aside again: "Let them go to the Imperial people and buy it themselves." ”

Time passed slowly in this dialogue, until the sun began to set in the west, and the little girl on the table, with her golden braids hanging down, finally gasped and flipped through all the pages: "Whew—why are there so many, and all of them are so trivial......"

"There are some of the commissions that you and Mr. Xiao Hongchen have backlogged before, and they have expired...... We've all disposed of it. Ning Lan, who was still standing behind her, replied with a smile: "Some of the rest...... It is a daily commission hanging in the hall of the association. ”

"What? You're all next? Mengzhu was shocked: "If we can't finish it, we will be scolded by Felistone!" If you don't make trouble, you will be demoted......"

"Anyway, there's no worse outcome, so what if you take it all?"

The maid replied with a slight smile: "This is what Mr. Aoyama said." ”

"Damn uncle......" The little girl gritted her teeth, "but there is some truth to it......"

"There are also some tasks for Ning Lan and Miss Liuyu, which we didn't count." The maid continued, "Mr. Aoyama said...... We should be able to figure it out ourselves. ”

"I'm in favor of that." Mengzhu nodded with satisfaction: "The two of you are still good, I have searched all over the free world, and I probably can't find a better player than you, alas......"

"Sometimes I suspect I'm dreaming." She raised her head: "What's so good about our adventure group, how can we let you join......

"We're not the only ones who want to come in." The secret whisper Ning Lan didn't answer her question, and instead raised a finger: "Like Miss Thousand Paper Crane this morning......"

Bang!

The door was pushed open again, and the two men who had been interrupted looked up to see a large knife figure dragging its body swaying in.

"I knew that...... It's not going to be good for that guy to look for me. ”

Looking at the two women who were staring at him, Duan Qing said slightly tiredly. (To be continued.) )
