"Well, I'll help you solve the problem in your own way, and I'll pay you for hiring you. But can I invite you back to Arnos with me as a friend? Lillian had already "figured out" Oran, and it would not be useful for this man to take any noble name.

"Friends?" Oran spat out the somewhat unfamiliar word, and there seemed to be no specific impression of the word in his mind.

"Yes, friends. Even if we leave the employment relationship aside, we can help each other and call each other friends. Lillian was happy to be Oran's first friend.

Night falls quickly, and everyone knows that it is very unwise to travel at night in such a wilderness, unless there is something that must be done. So they planned to leave again the next morning.

But now the problem arises, there is only a bed of animal skin covered with hay in the cave, which has an indescribable attraction for people who are away from home for a long time.

After all, Lillian is just a young girl who is just about to become an adult, although she has already become a knight, and has endured many hardships, but her tired spirit and injured body are protesting against the need for that bed.

Orlan took out the Orlan white bear's fur from the package, the only valuable item that had not been detained since the Giant Wood Camp.

"The bed is yours." At least the old hunter had taught Orlan to treat ladies in a gentlemanly manner, especially noble ladies.

"Actually...... Actually, we can squeeze it, can't we? The bed was still wide...... "Lilian knows that on a night in this weather, the ground can be cold even through the fur.

But after saying this, I felt a little abrupt, but I thought that both of us were "women", and now we are friends, right?

"Willing to help." Oran was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that the old hunter had drunk and shouted loudly about his youth, and warned young Oran.

said that if he was given another chance, he would definitely not refuse the girl's invitation before leaving his hometown, and would definitely say "willing to serve" like a gentleman.

Oran didn't understand, would they be sad to refuse a woman's invitation in this regard? Sleeping is of course best by yourself. For the sake of friends, at least Lillian is not like Zack's big-headed soldiers who stink after a few days without taking a shower, so it is okay to promise her.

Lillian felt that Oran's answer was strange, and there was a sense of disobedience that was inexplicable. Well, she really didn't know what Orlan had learned from an old drunken mountain rascal all those years.

In this way, the two of them have a blanket of animal skins, which will be warm even at the coldest of the nights. It's just that at first, Lillian had a little trouble sleeping, and she always felt that her face burned badly and her heart was pounding.

Their arms were almost close together, and Oran's scent became more familiar and reassuring, so she quickly entered the dream fragrance. It was the first time in so many years that she had slept so peacefully, and even when she saw her mother again in her dream, tears flowed unconsciously......

Oran was much worse in comparison, and he was sure that the quality of sleep was so bad for the first time in so many years. The people around me are very restless and not honest. At first, he was going to fight and kill in his dreams, and then he cried for his mother...... The most intolerable thing is that like a big jungle spider preying on prey, the four "legs" lock him firmly, and the whole person hangs on him.

If the old hunter was still alive, he must tell him, "You made the right choice, you shouldn't have agreed to the unreasonable demands of these strange women!" ”

Oran's eyes were almost open until dawn, and the corners of the cave shone brightly, and even the depths of the cave were no longer dark. The cat with a golden retriever on his chest in front of him even had water stains on the corners of his mouth, but fortunately Oran had been sleeping in that leather armor.

"Uh-huh......" The golden retriever cat was flipped over on the bed and rolled around, and woke up in a daze. By the time she opened her eyes, Orlan was gone.

……

"That Comodo's lair, where you Yanos soldiers. They may still be waiting for William, but it's up to you whether you go over or not. Orlan hasn't forgotten the men and horses that were left behind.

"How many more of them are?"

"Eight people, if all of them are still alive."

"William still has so many people left, well, that's really in line with his style."

It was much less efficient for the two of them to travel together on the same horse, but fortunately, the bags of the two of them were now mostly empty. Fortunately, there is an indigenous person of Oran along the way, so there is basically no need to worry about eating and drinking.

This also makes Lillian's thoughts about "capturing" Orlan intended. Having such a "girlfriend" who can fight and cook and lead the way is really a must-have choice for home travel and killing.

Today, Oran caught a few sterling silver salmon from the stream, which are bright silver with tender, orange-red and white stripes, and are commonly used for sashimi.

However, Oran thought that the food was best cooked, and he found some small red berries from the bushes to squeeze the fresh and sour juice, and mixed the raw fish with large wild peppercorns that had been lightly roasted over a fire to remove the smell.

This is followed by slicing of freshly harvested wild sweet fruits, which are just ripening this season. They are then asked to tightly wrap the whole piece of decapitated and gutted fish, and then use the leaves of the water-rich large-leaved green reeds that grow at the edge of the pond to firm them down.

Finally, it is buried in a charcoal fire that has no flames. Lilian watched Orlan expertly accomplish it all, smelling the sweet and enticing scent of fish wafting through her mind.

"If Orlan were a man, then marrying him seemed like a good choice!"

"No, no, no! How could there be such an idea, if Orlan dared to be a man...... Then you must kill this perverted scoundrel who has taken advantage of himself for so long and is still calm! No, how could you be disrespectful to her like this, how could a girl like Oran be a man......" Lilian couldn't control her thoughts.

Maybe whether it's Lillian or Oran, they are very similar. That is, in the first short life, they have been living for fighting, killing, hunting, and "revenge". They are so simple-minded that they can be said to be ignorant of the world, but at some moments they are cold-blooded and make people tremble.

Perhaps they have their own unique views on life and death, as well as their own beliefs in life. But there are still too many things in human life that they don't understand.

Lillian was fortunate to have experienced the trivial things of the world when she was young, and at least knew the most basic moral etiquette. Oran, on the other hand, was raised by a lonely old hunter since he was a child.

The old hunter may be a qualified mentor who has taught Orlan to survive, to be compassionate, not to bully the weak, and to understand what is good and evil. But the old hunter is not a good parent, and with Oran's already unique soul, he will not be the second old hunter, but only a unique Oran who is lacking.
