On the hillside, at first glance at the plain in the distance, the field is forever silent at night, with a tranquility that makes people silent. She likes to soak up the tranquility as much as she likes to be silent.

At this moment, she heard a footstep break the silence, a soft voice that still sounded so obvious to her.

When she first turned around, her godless eyes couldn't see what was in front of her, but Evil sensed that someone was coming towards her.

She knew this man, the leader of the mercenary team hired by Mann, who seemed to be named Lorna.

She was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what the other party was looking for her, and there should have been no communication between them in the past few days.

Is it just that she can't sleep and wants to find someone to chat, thinking like this, she doesn't mind making small talk, as long as the other party doesn't talk about topics that she is not good at.

But Lorna walked towards her with a brisk pace, and did not seem to stop, and walked straight in front of her.

In a stunned look, Lorna took her into her arms and said in a calm voice.

"We already know what you're going through, don't worry, we won't tolerate anything like that. No matter what contract you made with that boy, no matter how much torture you have endured in the past, we will get you out. After that, leave it to us, you can rest assured that we are all right, already, all right. ”

Lorna's hands were strong and gentle strokes (though not necessarily pure), and her tone was heavy and reliable, and her sturdy armor made her look like a knight to be relied on.

The waist is so thin, ah no.

Feeling the cold and "weak" body in her arms, Lorna's heart felt more pity, and her hands hugged tighter, she could already imagine the abused girl lying in her arms and crying bitterly. She would listen to her cry and give her a shoulder, now and in the future.

"If you want to cry, just cry. Lorna said this, with a righteous look on her face.

However, Chu, who was held in her arms, stood blankly.

After a long time, Lorna finally heard the voice of the person in her arms, but it was only one word.

"Huh?"

······

"So. Next to the campfire at night, Mann looked at the members of the Silver and White Sword Team sitting in front of him with a depressed look on his sleepy eyes, and pointed to himself and then to Hatsu.

"You suspect me of abusing her?"

What are you kidding, did I abuse her?

Mann had a feeling of crying and laughing, have you ever seen this guy tearing the beast in the herd of Hiskama, I abused her, sorry, I'm still young, I want to live longer.

He was sleeping soundly, but he was suddenly woken up by Chuchu, and this is what he said?

"You don't give her food, you don't let her rest, these are things we have seen with our own eyes, isn't this abuse?" said John the Dwarf, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his hands on his thighs, with a serious expression.

Lizardman Jill nodded.

"Well, that's what you're going to have to explain. Mage Lily whispered as she held her staff in front of her. I have to say that even if she is pressing, this girl does not have any momentum.

Lorna sat on the far left, still holding Chu's waist, without any intention of letting go, and called it comforting.

Sitting beside Lorna with a blank face at first, she actually looked a little well-behaved, how to say, she felt that the scene in front of her was quite interesting.

"This ······" Mann scratched at his hair in anguish, he couldn't explain this kind of thing, could he say that the mysterious creatures he had summoned from another dimension didn't need to eat and sleep.

If he said so, he assured that the other party's eyes would probably change from sadistic to psychotic, and it would be more dangerous.

"Actually. Seeing that Mann was unable to justify, and the members of the Silver Sword looked more and more determined, Chu finally spoke.

"I volunteered. ”

"Voluntary?" said Dwarf Mann, his mouth open in dismay.

"At the beginning, now that we are here, you don't need to be afraid of him, just tell the truth. Lorna leaned into Chu's ear and said, I don't know if it was intentional, her lips were almost close to Chu's earlobe, making Chu's ear a little itchy.

"It was indeed my own volition. Chu tilted his head and continued calmly.

"It's a way of practice for me, and not eating and sleeping is a better way to train my will. ”

The campfire was silent for a moment.

"This ······" The dwarf scratched at his beard blankly.

And this way of practice?

"Hmm. Jill frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at his teammates and said.

"I do hear of some ascetics in the north who practice fasting and sleeping. ”

Everyone in the Silver Sword squad looked at each other in embarrassment.

Lily's face began to redden, John the dwarf patted the flask on his waist uncomfortably, Gilmer the lizardman was silent, and Lorna's body stiffened.

They knew it was a big misunderstanding.

······

The drama soon ended, and Mann yawned and went back to sleep, while several members of the Silver Sword team returned to their resting place.

Their faces are a little gloomy and helpless, they have done such a big thing, and even "hijacked" the client, they don't have to think that they can guess the result, eighty percent of them will be unilaterally dismissed from the mission again, and it is already good that Mann does not go to the Adventurers Association to sue them.

John the Dwarf sat in the corner with his flask in his hand, contemplating whether he should quit drinking, as he probably wouldn't be able to drink for the next few months.

Jill the lizardman solemnly apologized to everyone, saying that he had not thought about it and did not think of this possibility of cultivation in the first place.

Lily looked at her teammates worriedly, and Lorna reluctantly announced that they would start packing, and if nothing else, Mann would probably let them go tomorrow morning.

At this time, Chu came to their camp.

It seems that there is no need to wait until tomorrow morning, Lorna thought that Chu was here to relieve the mission, and thought bitterly, and said to Chu.

"We'll leave after we pack our bags. ”

"Why leave. There was a rare doubt in Chu's tone: "Isn't the mission not over yet?"

"You mean, you're not going to release your commission on us?" asked Lorna, in disbelief.

Hearing this, several people from the Silver and White Sword also stopped their movements and looked at Chu.

"Of course not. At first it was right, and that's what Mann meant, and he didn't care about such a trivial matter.

And in a sense, Lorna and the others also had such a move out of good intentions.

John the Dwarf hugged his flask and kissed it, knowing he didn't have to quit drinking.

"Thank you very much. In the corner, Jill bowed his head slightly to Chu as a token of gratitude.

"Hmm. Lily also held the staff with some excitement and said, "Thank you." ”

This mission is really the most important thing for them.

But even so, they had chosen to abandon their mission to rescue their abused followers, even though it was just an oolong.

"Thanks, thanks. Standing in front of Chu, Lorna nodded awkwardly: "We did such a thing, can you still forgive ······"

"It doesn't matter. When she first looked at Lorna, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"And I don't hate what you did. ”

She's never been worried about it in this way.

Lorna looked at the smiling Chu and was stunned.

"Well, then, rest well, and we'll leave tomorrow morning. With that, Chu turned around and left.

"Lily, Lily······" When she was gone, Lorna stood where she was, her voice trembling and calling Lily's name.

"What's wrong?" asked Lily, the mage behind her.

Lorna turned her head and covered her hot cheeks: "I think I met ······"

"What happened?" Lily was stunned.

Lorna replied, "The one who is destined ······"

Jill the lizardman and John the dwarf rolled their eyes at the same time and said in unison, "You say that every time." ”

But Lorna herself knew that this time it felt different.
