“…………”

On the streets of Michi, Rogen and Celica walked side by side, and an indescribable awkwardness permeated the two.

It's embarrassing, but in fact, this atmosphere comes entirely from Silica.

Luo Zhen was still the same as before, his face was full of laziness and carelessness, but while walking on the street, he teased Bina, making Bina keep making a pleasant cry.

But Sirika is different.

(What to do, what to do, what to do, what to ......do, what to do!) ）

Celica walked silently beside Luo Zhen, but she shouted anxiously in her heart.

Although Sirika finally chose to team up with Luo Zhen because of Bina, but after thinking about it carefully, Sirika realized that she had never had the experience of being alone with a strange person of the opposite sex before.

In other words, at this time, Sirika did not know what kind of action to take and what kind of topic to say.

(What a big fool I'm in!) Why didn't you find this before......!? ）

Sirika complained to herself in her heart.

(Woooooooo It's all Bina's fault... ）

Celica could only follow Luo Zhen like this, and remained silent all the time.

Until......

"That's right." Luo Zhen said to Celica, "Is it okay if I call you Celica directly?" ”

Luo Zhen spoke out so suddenly, causing Sirika to be startled.

Still, Sirika reacted quickly.

"It's... Yes! Be sure to do so! ”

Celica hurriedly responded.

"So, Sirika, may I ask you a question?" Luo Zhen asked with some curiosity, "When did you subdue this little guy?" ”

"When... Is it? Celica tilted her head and said truthfully, "Just about a year ago, right?" When I was walking on the lower floor, I suddenly met Bina, and she approached her, so I fed her the nuts I had brought with me, and Bena followed me back to town. ”

"I see." Luo Zhen nodded and said, "Your luck is so good." ”

Generally speaking,Small animal type monsters, although sometimes they don't take the initiative to attack.,But will choose to get close to the player.,If you do what you like.,Feed it.,It's possible to collect it as a demon.,But just to be able to meet this type of monster is already very lucky.,And carrying the other party's favorite food with you is even more lucky.。

So, Sirika's luck is really good.

In this regard, Celica also nodded calmly.

"Yes." Celica said without hesitation: "Being able to meet Bina is really the luckiest thing I have ever encountered in this world. ”

The smile on Sirika's face as she said this was not the kind of joy that she was able to subdue the luck of the demon, but the kind that was happy that she was able to meet the demon named Bina.

As an expert in demon envoys, Luo Zhen could tell from this smile almost at a glance how much Celica valued Bina.

Of course, it is not the ability to make demons that is important to Celica that values it, but the very existence of Bina that is important to her.

Obviously, Sirika doesn't just think of Bina as a pet raised in the game, but a true companion and friend.

"Purr!"

Bina also let out a beautiful cry again, as if to echo Sirika's words.

From this, it can be seen that the relationship between Sirika and Bina is by no means as simple as the relationship between ordinary animal tamers and demons.

Luo Zhen is not incomprehensible.

(If Sirika is really the same age as she looks, it would be cruel to let a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl live alone in a world where death is at any moment.) ）

In such a situation, Sirika meets Bina, and it is not just an opportunity for her, but an encounter with an important friend and partner.

Sirika must have regarded Bina as a sustenance for her soul, so that she could live in this world forever, right?

This can be seen from the fact that Sirika pushed away the rest of the team and chose Luo Zhen, a lone player, to team up with him for the sake of Bina.

It is precisely because of this that Luo Zhen will really team up with Celica.

In fact, at the beginning, although Luo Zhen raised his hand, the real purpose was not to team up with Celika, but to have another purpose.

It's just that's for later.

"Alright." Luo Zhen said to Celica, "Then are you ready to leave the town?" Or do you need to replenish the recovery items or repair the equipment first? ”

"No, no, I'm ready." Celica shook her head, and then asked tentatively, "Where should we go?" Lost in the forest? ”

To the north of the 35th floor, there is a forest of dense trees juxtaposed by huge trees.

The forest is divided into hundreds of blocks in the shape of a checkerboard, and if someone steps into one of the areas for a minute, the adjacent blocks will randomly change the mechanism, so it is called the Lost Forest.

There are only two ways to get out of this forest.

One is to keep breaking through each block within a minute, moving to the next block before the block changes, and so on, so that the lost forest that does not reach the one-minute time limit will not produce structural changes, and the player will naturally be able to get out sooner or later.

One is to use the high-priced map items sold at the item shop in the main street area, and move forward while checking the links between the blocks in all directions.

These are the only two ways to get out of the forest.

In addition, even if you use a Transfer Crystal in the Lost Forest, it will only be sent to a random area of the Forest.

However, thanks to this structure, there are many undiscovered treasure chests in the Lost Forest, and the monsters inside are also higher level than the monsters in the rest of the training area, and you can get more experience points, money, and dropped items after hunting, which is a very good place for mid-level players.

After arriving on the 35th floor, Sirika also hunted in the Lost Forest.

"Lost in the Forest?" Luo Zhen touched his chin, and then suddenly asked, "It's also a kind of labyrinth, right?" ”

Is it a kind of labyrinth?

What does this mean?

Celica looked at Luo Zhen in confusion.

In this regard, Luo Zhen just waved his hand.

"It's nothing, I'm just talking to myself, don't you care." Luo Zhen skipped the question in a somewhat perfunctory manner and said, "Okay, let's go to the Lost Forest." ”

"Well... Good. Sirika nodded, though she was still a little concerned.

After that, the two first went to a nearby item shop, where they bought high-priced map items unique to the Labyrinth Forest, and then left Michi and went to the Lost Forest.

Neither did they notice that someone followed them as soon as they left town.
