"Oran...... Are we still friends? Lillian dodged her eyes, her voice was weak, and her whole person was a little scared. It's like a girl who has never been in love again.,It's like confessing to the boy you like for the first time.。 At least this is the first time she has faced such a familiar opposite sex in a rusty way.

"Of course...... Otherwise, you will take my gold and my possessions with you. Oran glanced at the package the horses were still carrying.

Lillian's expression of joy fell, but she was not angry.

Then she narrowed her eyes and curled the corners of her mouth, and replied with a smile like a cat that had stolen a fish, "Well, since we're all friends, you don't mind if I used your money to buy this equipment, do you?" Come to think of it, I seem to have a little left for you, hehe. ”

"Okay." Orlan raised his hands in surrender, and after being countered by the army, he did not provoke the tsundere knight again.

"Oh, little hunter, is this your new golden civet? It's a big one, let me take a look, it's good to use it in a stew pot for raccoon soup. At some point, Ms. Devola walked up behind the two with a green lantern, interrupting the cosy moonlit "date".

Lillian suddenly saw the green-faced old woman who came out of her place, and she jumped back in fright, and was about to draw her sword. But seeing that Orlan didn't react, he respectfully replied.

"Lady Devola, is Andrea awake?"

"No, it's just that a person of such an age has to lie down for a month if he falls, not to mention that he was injured so badly this time. It's not like you young people, you can still see the moon here. There was a hint of displeasure in Lady Devola's voice.

Orlan didn't argue that Devra had never let him in to see Andrea, but only owed slightly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for letting Andrea get hurt." ”

“…… Old woman, you ...... Who do you say is the golden civet. I'm not a golden raccoon, I'm a knight, a true Astra knight! Lillian sensed that the old woman seemed to be targeting Oran, so she replied to Devra with her chest straight.

"Oh, it's not a golden raccoon, it's a golden girl. It's not bad, too. Devra approached Lillian with a lantern in an eerie manner, and Lillian was so frightened that she hid behind Oran, which was exactly the same as the unknown knight who killed all sides during the day.

"Well, it's already dark, and I don't think you have anywhere to go, little hunter, so stay here for the night. Hey, little golden retriever, do you want to stay too? ”

Lily looked up at the three-story old wooden house in front of her, with dim lights in the window and trees planted with teeth and claws, and it always felt like the abode of evil spirits.

You must know that it is very abnormal to have such a "luxurious" wooden house in such a country, and it is usually not the residence of evil creatures, waiting for the destined warriors to purify the monsters here.

"Of course, I'll go wherever Orlan goes!" But how could a righteous knight be afraid of evil spirits?

"Alright, guests, please come upstairs with me."

Oran didn't mind, because he hadn't stayed here before, so he followed Devra towards the wooden house. Lilian, on the other hand, was apprehensive, estimating that she would draw her sword if something was wrong.

The furnishings in the room after entering the door were surprising, and in Lilian's opinion, these alchemical tools, equipment, animals, and plants were common to ordinary alchemists' residences. After all, as a nobleman of Yanos, he still has this knowledge, and he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I didn't see Andrea's figure, it seemed that she was placed in which room, and Orlan didn't ask in detail, after all, Devra would naturally let him see it when it was time to see her. The group creaked up the wooden staircase.

"Little Hunter, and Little Golden Retriever, you can stay here tonight. This is my granddaughter's room, she went out on a trip many years ago, so she won't be coming back for a while, so you can stay in peace. ”

"Wait...... Yes, can you give me another room? Lillian seemed to remember the "unforgettable" experience she had spent almost a month or two with Oran not long ago, and she vowed never to do it again.

"Yes, yes. There's also an empty room opposite, but it's a little dusty if you don't mind. ”

"Okay, I don't mind...... Wait, Oran, go to that room. I'm going to live in this room, and as a man you have to be a gentleman, right? Lillian seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Hmm." Orlan didn't mind, of course, and walked to the room at the end of the hallway, without saying anything.

"Hee-hee-hee, then I wish you all a good dream." Lady Devra left with the lamp, and Lillian seemed still a little afraid of Delella, so she hurriedly thanked her and hid inside.

Devola's granddaughter's room was unexpectedly clean and tidy, probably because it was cleaned frequently. The furnishings were also very simple, in addition to the tables, chairs and beds, there were some common alchemy ornaments, and the only thing that caught Lilian's interest was the large bookshelf.

There are all kinds of books neatly arranged on it, and if you look closely at the spine, you can see that most of them are related to alchemy, as well as herbalogy, medical treatment, and the like. But what is remarkable is the number of various "travelogues", "legends", "novels", etc., many of which Lillian herself has read or heard.

It seems that Devola's granddaughter also yearns for that life of adventure and exploration, so has she traveled? Alone, open your feet, not afraid of dangers and difficulties, and explore this unknown and beautiful world as a woman. It certainly takes a lot of courage and determination.

In general, it didn't seem like a girl's boudoir, but rather like an alchemist's and adventurer's bedroom. Lilian spontaneously developed a feeling in her heart, even if she was far away from time and space, she could understand and identify with each other's emotions.

But as Lilian lay on the bed, she seemed to smell a scent of the girl she had never met.

……

Thundered...... The moon sky that could have been seen was thundering and lightning in the middle of the night, and a heavy rain followed.

Lillian's dreams are also disturbed, and the strangely shaped branches outside the window are reflected by lightning like a monster.

The girl who woke up in the middle of the night was lonely, empty around her, and empty in her heart. Although she is no longer the youngest girl she used to be, the fear of thunder and lightning and the stormy night still lingers.

A few months ago, there was an extra person by her side, a person who made her mistake her for a "sister", a "maverick" who could tolerate her and even more special and weird than her.

It's like a ragged girl slashing the matches in her hand one by one on a deep winter night. But before the last match burned out, she came across a burning bonfire.

Cautiously around him but not wanting to leave.
