Chapter 11—The Family Knot

A little farther away there were some dead vines clinging to the wall, but after the sound sounded, it began to make a hole in the middle. Then the man walked out.

"The second assault just now was too strong, and the soles of my feet will definitely be bruised."

"Nanyun? Why are you hiding with a family heirloom! ”

When Genos saw someone else, his attention suddenly shifted from my feet to Nanyun's. And gradually became excited.

"You just saw that, right?! What the hell do you want! ”

Genos wondered if it was because we were so evenly matched in our private fight, and I was worried about my status because we were seen by others, or something else? After all, just because of this, this emotion is too intense.

"I just want to know Xiaoyu's strength, after all, he never seems to be serious."

Nanyun, a very fat husky dog, is highly recognizable because of its pale yellow coat. Secondly, he is the eldest son of the steel family. Their family is the most well-known family in the kingdom, because of their family's strong affinity for raw wood, creating a family known as the "pastoral family". The name Nanyun was chosen by himself later, and he said it was because the previous name was too simplistic. It's a little bit of a person.

"Hell knows if what you think is what you say!"

Genos still seemed to be angry with him, as if he had ignored Nanyun before.

"Xiao Yu, look at yourself, you're so embarrassed."

Nanyun ignored Genos's targets and walked up to me. Squatted down and picked up my foot, looked at the injury, and then placed his right hand in front of the ball of my foot.

"Falling lea......

Nanyun began to chant the incantation, the silky magic that appeared in the palm of his hand gradually turning pale green, caressing my wound like a weave. The pain gradually became intangible, as the magic stroked it.

“…… w buds 。 Alright, Xiaoyu, you stand up and walk. There should be no problem. ”

With Genos' help, I began to stand up gradually. The pain I felt before is gone, and the feeling of loss just now is gone.

"Cut, the family conditions are good, so I can learn to use magic so early." Genos sneered impatiently.

"Heh, aren't you also the eldest young master of the family, why don't you see the ancestor appear?"

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing again, I was helpless. After all, they were both good to me, but I had never heard them talk about each other. It makes me want to plug in and have no clue. In desperation, I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was above us, so I finally thought of a way to interrupt them.

"It's noon, let's go to dinner together. This meal I please. ”

Since Ao Rui sent me here, the Spike Night Club has come here from time to time to see me. By the way, she also brought me some change prepared by Ao Rui and her, so as not to look too shabby when I was compared. But to be honest, they were too worried, and each time they gave me a lot of money, making me look like the children of their big families.

"Huh?"

Both of them heard me say this and turned their faces to me at the same time. As an intermediary, saying such a sentence can't help but make the two people in the contradiction stop unconsciously. But it's also the fastest way to interrupt two people.

"It's too abrupt for you to say such a thing."

"We're from a big family, so we won't treat you to a treat. But it's also said that eating is important. ”

"You've only been injured for a short time, and the spell can't fully recover yours, so I'll ask you to eat something to make up for it."

Nan Yun took advantage of the treatment just now, and it seemed that he wanted to take the initiative to ask me to eat something to recover. But I was the one who said I was the one who was treated, and I felt that he was preconceived.

"Cut, Saki, let's go, I'll treat you to something good."

Genos dragged me to drag me away, and said stiffly. Although it was said that the two of them quarreled, it seemed that the subsequent development was completely reversed. Nanyun followed us, and together we came to the place where the portal was opened. This is a teleportation node constructed by the Archmage with resident magic, right in the middle of the Academy. Each teacher will tell his students the spell to open the portal here, and here you only need to recite a fixed spell to open the portal to go anywhere, although the spell of the portal you create will not be so simple.

“Point on Commercial Street!”

Genos, who was at the front, shouted a spell, and the portal appeared. Since the portal is open for a few seconds at a time, it can basically walk through six or seven people at a time. Then the three of us passed through the portal and came to the busiest street in Ancient Orisli. Genos didn't stop and kept walking. And Nanyun, who followed us closely, looked in the direction we were going, thoughtfully.

"This direction...... I guess that's it. ”

A few minutes later, Genos turned a corner and showed off to me in glee.

"Behold, Cindyth, Hazen's superlative restaurant. I'd like to have a good meal today. ”

Genos looked quite mentally and completely different from this morning. Just like when the battle with him ended, I was quite relieved. Or maybe you want to show off to another person......

"Eh, it's Xindaisi. I was also going to bring the small domain here, do the seven major families like it here? ”

Nanyun looked up at the storefront, quite calm. However, Genos's expression was obviously a little twitching after hearing it, it should be that the abacus was empty.

"Well, it doesn't matter, just walk in,"

We came to the store in a group of three, and the waiter skillfully led us to a suitable table. Genos and Nanyun were quite skilled in ordering the dishes. I saw the menu in a daze, it was really ridiculously expensive! But unexpectedly, I can still afford it. Then after the food was served, I was really overwhelmed by the eyes of the two of them, like a farce. The two of them were still noisy at the dinner table, and I felt that from the very beginning, I had done a wrong thing when I said that I was treating.

After lunch, I said goodbye to both of them and went to the agreed place to meet someone.

"Yo, why is Saki so late today. Is something going on?"

Suiya, who arrived early, looked at me in surprise, after all, it is not usually so late.

"No, there was a little farce between friends, and it was delayed."

"Huh? I haven't done it before. How many good friends did you make this time? ”

The more she talked, the more cheerful she became, and she seemed to want to know about me at school.

"It should be, without further ado, let's hurry up and start today's 'special training'."

"Alas, you kid, I still want to reminisce more about the life of the academy~"

After a few moments, we left the city and came to the nearest grove. Hota took out her spare knife and began to teach me how to throw my multi-blades. I watched from the sidelines, carefully analyzing her every move.

"Sakiyu, I said, you're not bad at throwing now, you just need to practice more in the future. If you have multiple blades, you should use them for different occasions, but if you pay attention to this, I won't have much to teach you after that. ”

As it was nearly dusk, Hota said to me in a serious voice, and it seemed that she was pleased with my progress. And I am very grateful to her, and the unreasonable request made to her when she first entered the school has finally paid off. Then I rushed up and hugged her.

"Well, after that, if you pay a little attention to safety, you will be able to improve your accuracy slowly. In the future, I can basically use it. See you when you graduate. ”

Suiya turned around and took out a bundle of freshly made knives and presented them to me. It's much flatter than his throwing knife, but it's also more suitable for me.

"Thank you, Sister Sui. Speaking of Uncle Rui, what has he been doing lately? ”

Sui Ye had just turned around to leave, and suddenly paused when he heard me ask about Ao Rui.

"He's supposed to be fighting with Ston right now."

Hota turned and left. But what she said just now struck me as something strange. Because there seemed to be a little excitement buried in his tone, he must have lied.

As night fell, I returned to the academy through the portal. When he arrived at the dormitory, Genos came back early, sitting at his desk and writing something. And I didn't want to sleep, so I went to the window and looked at the moon. After all, Suiya didn't tell me what Uncle Rui was doing now, so it's hard for me not to guess. The moon was rising, and Genos had turned off the lights and went to bed.

"It's time to rest, too."

With that, I turned around and took off my coat and placed it on the hanger. Just as I was about to go back to bed......

"Saki, come here"

Genos made a faint voice that made me shudder.

"What's the matter, squad leader, I haven't fallen asleep yet, and my cold speech is very scary."

"I'm sorry..."

Genos's voice became a little deeper, and it felt a little different. I walked over with a worried heart to see what was going on.

"What happened? Why..."

Suddenly, the squad leader reached out and dragged me over, and I fell to his bed without reacting, and then he hugged me tightly. But my worries still didn't go away, and he didn't look like a normal squad leader at all, so I asked him.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry Saki Domain... I shouldn't pull you into the conflict between me and Nanyun today. I know you're trying hard to stop us both. ”

I was very puzzled by his apologies, although it was hard. But this is the right time to understand what happened between them.

"That...... Can the squad leader tell me about Nanyun, I feel like you two have some grudges. ”

"Do you want to know about the two of us... Well,"

During the Third World War, Arnold's hawks invaded the territory of Hazen because of the invasion of the extended territory. At that time, as a front-line general, Feng Si Lin, that is, Genos's grandfather. As the first army to confront it, it was evenly matched at first. But as time dragged on, the enemy received more and more reinforcements. Haisen could only urgently recruit troops, and this recruitment also created heroes such as the later generals of the Apocalypse. However, it was far too late to resist, and could only abandon the front line and retreat to wait for regrouping. And during this retreat, because there were too many chasing troops, they did not take away too much grain and grass. At that time, in addition to the output of farmers, Haisen's grain and grass could only be accelerated by the magic of the steel family as the Seven Families. However, at that time, the supply of military rations did not arrive in time, because the news of the war did not reach the ears of the king. So much so that there was a famine at the front. When the news of the war finally arrived, he was told that the most needed contributor, the Steel Family, had no reserves. So much so that by the time support finally began, the front line was already quite weak. Although at that time, in the end, grain and grass were still supported to the front. But there are already soldiers and civilians who are starving to death. Among them, there is Fengsi.

"That's it, maybe if the steel family had some storage at that time, my grandfather, whom I had never met, might still be alive and a hero. So now I see the people of the Steel family and I'm inexplicably angry! ”

After saying that, I hugged me even more, as if I was stimulated.

"I'm so tired, stay with me tonight..."

"Okay."
