[Is it okay if my hair is wet like this?] 】

Liu Xianyu asked, looking at the ends of Ikatris's hair, which was still dripping occasionally.

[Long hair is like this, even if you wipe it with a towel, you can't dry it right away, it's okay.] 】

Ikatris tried not to look at Liu Xianyu's face, in case she couldn't control the strange thoughts in her mind.

[You'll get cold when you go out with wet hair this season, so let's wait until your hair is dry and go back.] 】

I don't know if it's because he wants more feasts for his eyes or if the four of them are usually used to being lively together, Liu Xianyu hopes that Ikateris can stay here more for a while, instead of being alone.

[That...... I'll just sit here a little longer. 】

Although Ikatris was shy, she still stayed with Liu Xianyu's words, and she silently sat on the other bed opposite. The two of them sat silently in two corners of the room, keeping a delicate distance. Usually there is always a jade talk, so there is never a cold scene, but now there are only two of them left, and both of them have some other thoughts in their hearts, and the room became very quiet for a while, and finally Liu Xianyu took the initiative to break the quiet.

[Long hair really still has all kinds of inconveniences, no wonder Jade always has short hair. 】

Liu Xianyu remembered that when he had just left Yongcui Forest and lived with Jade, when he was in the temporary room, Jade's hair always dried quickly every time he took a bath.

[Long hair does have a lot of inconvenience, my mother has been giving me long hair since I was a child, and after a long time, I feel that long hair has become a part of me, even after practicing swordsmanship, I stubbornly kept my long hair, and since I got the official knight qualification, I have considered cutting it short every time I go out on a mission, but I can't always make up my mind. 】

Ikatris said as she played with the ends of her hair as she recalled.

[I think it's good for Theliss to be like this, it's rare to have such beautiful long pink hair, isn't it a pity to cut it off?] 】

[What do you think...... Isn't it pretty? 】

Ekatelis was stunned for a moment when she heard Liu Xianyu's words, and then lowered her head with her hands on her knees, trying her best to hide the corners of her upturned mouth.

[That's right! I've seen Emerald blow dry her hair with wind magic before, and if you don't mind the hairstyle messing up, I can try it. 】

Looking at Ikatris, who was curled up in a ball on the bed, Liu Xianyu suddenly thought.

[Wind magic? Can you use magic? 】

Ikatrius was a little curious, and she had the impression that elemental swordsmen chose this profession because they didn't have enough elemental affinity to become mages.

"Speaking of which, I've never told you about it...... The reason why I chose the Elemental Swordsman class is indeed because there is no way to build a stable elemental model, but not because of the lack of affinity, but because it is too high. 】

As he spoke, Liu Xianyu condensed a large amount of wind elements in the palm of his hand, and then released the control, allowing these elements to scatter to form a gust of airflow.

[You also saw it when I fought that six-eyed monster before, I shared my ability with Jade through "No Other", and the magic strength she used at that time was far beyond what she usually showed. 】

As she spoke, she walked to Ikatris's bed and motioned for Iconelis to turn around, and Ikateris turned her back to Liu Xianyu with a red face, allowing Liu Xianyu to reach out and hold up her long pink hair.

[My elemental affinity is so high that it is beyond the limits of what humans can bear, and as a human being, I can't drive the highly active elements that are beyond common sense, just like a toddler can't pick up a heavy weapon. 】

One hand spread out the silky hair of Ekateris, and the other hand let the condensed wind element spread freely, Liu Xianyu began to dry Ikatris's hair little by little from the ends of his hair, feeling the touch of his hair being dried little by little, Ikatris's mood also calmed down little by little, and he didn't want to do anything but quietly enjoy the intimacy of this moment.

[Okay, it should be all done now.] 】

Fiddling with her hair little by little, blowing her long and soft hair fluffy, and before she knew it, Liu Xianyu had dried all her hair with wind magic.

[Thank you, Hyunwoo.] 】

Ikatris turned around and straightened her hair, her sapphire-like eyes contained a smile, and Liu Xianyu was a little stunned for a while.

Bang bang bang –

A sudden knock on the door woke Liu Xianyu up.

[Captain Xianyu is about to open the door, let's protect the personal safety of Teres-chan!] 】

Jade's noisy voice could be heard clearly through the door, and in the happy laughter of Ikatris, Liu Xianyu opened the door and let in Jade in pajamas and Tangerine holding cotton.

As soon as Jade entered the door, she saw Ikatris wearing Liu Xianyu's clothes, and she pointed at Liu Xianyu with a shocked expression.

[I didn't expect us to be one step late...... Captain Salted Fish, you finally can't hide your beastly desire to attack Teris-chan! 】

With that stupid expression, Jade also pulled Tangerine back half a step.

[Hmm, I knew that Captain Xianyu would definitely be impatient with a beautiful girl like me every day, but I didn't expect it to be Terris Sauce who suffered this disaster for me! 】

[Pretend to be crazy and sell stupid to me, what if you let Tangerine misunderstand! ] 】

Pulling Jade's neck and clamping her head under her armpit, Liu Xianyu pulled her face hard.

[Woo ~ I will not succumb to violence, even if you get my body, you can't get my heart! 】

Jade struggled hard but to no avail.

[Ikatris just borrowed one of my clothes to wear, can you hold water in your head!] 】

[Ah, is that so!] 】

Jade hunched over and looked up at Liu Xianyu in disbelief.

If you don't believe me, ask Thelis. 】

After pulling the jadeite white and tender face hard, Liu Xianyu let go of his hand.

[Really, my face is about to be flattened by Captain Salted Fish! ] 】

After making sure that nothing had happened between the two of them, Jade rubbed her face with a grumbling face.

[In that case, while Captain Salted Fish hasn't made a mistake yet, Teris-chan, let's hurry back to our room.] 】

Emerald pulled Ikatrius and walked noisily to the door.

[Then we'll go back, Hyunwoo.] Thank you for lending me the bathroom...... And clothes. 】

Ekatelis smiled happily and stood outside the door with Emerald, and Tachibana followed behind them in a daze.

[Oh, by the way, in order to prevent Captain Salty from being lonely at night, Tachibana and I decided to lend you cotton for one night. 】

Jade stood outside the door and wanted to take the lamb cotton from Tangerine's hand, but the cotton was still unwilling to touch Jadeite, so she jumped and stepped on Jade's face and ran to Liu Xianyu's room.

[Hmm--a mere sheep dares!] 】

The jade, who had not finished speaking, was slammed out of the door by Liu Xianyu, and Liu Xianyu walked back to the bed with a smile and picked up the cotton.

[I'm afraid I'm lonely, thank you for coming with me, cotton.] 】

【Baa~】
