Night fell again, and unlike yesterday's stormy town, today's Xinshui Town is a little noisy in a peaceful manner.

The drought brought by the vengeful dragon Grinich had just subsided, and the just right amount of warmth caused the people of Xinshui to change their heavy clothes, and the townspeople in short clothes and short sleeves gathered around the campfire in the square to eat and drink to celebrate the town's safe passage through this crisis.

Leo pulled Nana away from the tables full of food in the square and sat at the edge of the crowd, the warm wind blowing across Nana's face and her blonde hair fluttering in the air.

"How long has it been since we've had a party like this?"

Leo pinned Nana's blonde hair behind his ears and habitually held Nana's hand.

"It seems like a long time, and it doesn't seem to be long. ”

"Do you like this life?"

Nana rested her head on Leo's shoulder, her soft hair scratching Leo's neck, "Of course I do." ”

Leo smiled slightly, grabbed Nana's head, and let her lean into his arms.

Nana felt Leo's heart beating and asked, "Do you like this life?"

"Of course I like it, everyone wants to live in such a cheerful atmosphere, right?"

But Nana knew that Leo, who had traveled from south to north since childhood, did not pump such ordinary blood from his heart, so she said: "But you prefer the days of running around." ”

Leo smiled, didn't retort, just lightly kissed Nana in the hair.

Nana continued, "Don't worry, I prefer the days of running around with you to a peaceful life. ”

"Why?"

"Because of being with you, I really feel that the world is real, and I really feel alive. ”

Sure enough, the dark world brought to her by blindness still can't be calmed down for a long time?

Leo was a little worried, but he thought about the benefits, at least Nana's world was no longer dark.

"Tell me, what have you seen after following me out for so long?"

Nana rubbed her head against Leo like a cat: "I see you getting kinder a little bit." ”

The word kindness was unexpected.

But when you think about it, it's really the biggest change he's made in the year.

From the beginning of the young man in the mountains of Morbius who focused on adventure and finding the traces of Lizanka, little by little, he has become the Leo who is willing to stand up for the town.

And all this is because of the teaching of the girl in front of him in the winter in the town of Vermins, after treating everyone with such sincerity and thinking for everyone, the feeling of being loved and respected by the villagers from the bottom of his heart will be the most important imprint of his life.

From that moment on, he really came out of the world where he lost Eliza and had his own purpose in life.

Leo opened his mouth and gestured to a mouth shape.

"What did you say?"

Nana touched Leo's lips in confusion, and the cold, soft touch of Nana's fingers made his heart shake.

He picked Nana up and placed her on his lap and his chin on her head.

"Sit here, my little princess. ”

Nana was no longer entangled in what Leo had just said, and leaned on Leo in a comfortable position.

"What is Lizanka doing?"

In the center of the square, Lizanka commanded several villagers to put the tables together and climb to the top one.

"Experience what it's like to be a lord, and speaking in public is also one of the lord's privileges. ”

She looked very happy. ”

"She's just excited. Leo looked at the cheering townsfolk in the square, smiled again, and asked Nana, "What do you think of Ryzanka?"

Nana thought for a moment and said, "It's stupid, it's a very tsundere girl. ”

"Tsundere?

"I think she obviously wants to help this town, but she is too embarrassed to speak directly, so she wants to be the lord of Xinshui Town, so that she has a legitimate reason to intervene. ”

"Really?" Leo glanced at Lizanka, who was bouncing and jumping on the table, and thought that she might have more of a second fool in her composition.

"That's it. Nana nodded affirmatively.

"Your senses are always accurate. ”

As the breeze drifted and the smell of fire and ash from the campfire reached their noses, Rizanka raised her sword aloft in her hand.

Lizanka exclaimed, "I am not alone in the safety of the town, Father Ben and my teammates have also contributed a lot, and here, the Queen has decided to commend them together!"

"Here. Father Zmin straightened his robes and walked slowly onto the second table with the kind smile that townsfolk were accustomed to seeing.

"In recognition of your excellence in holding the Church during the invasion of the Dark Creatures, this King will reward the Church with a thousand gold coins. ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen. ”

The corners of Zmin's face and mouth are almost at the root of his ears, with this money, the reconstruction of the town is secondary, the key is that the townspeople will not leave Xinshui Town in a big way because of this invasion of dark creatures, and the church will receive a lot more donations.

A long stream of water is the right way.

"Secondly, there is the Ente Paladin. ”

Ente stood up from his seat, looking a little uncomfortable, as the former captain of the Shadow Pursuit Team, such an opportunity to appear in front of the people in front of the people was unprecedented.

"I think everyone has accepted this paladin's life-saving grace, and I just took the finishing touches on him, and I didn't do it as well as he did. ”

Lizanka's expression was frank and slick, and she praised Ente.

"Of course, because he's my teammate, I'm not pretending to be a reward. ”

There was a laugh from the townspeople below.

"In addition to that, I would like to give special praise to a treacherous and cunning teammate, Isenas, who came out. ”

Esenas shrank his head and reluctantly lifted a plate, trying to cover his face with a pile full of bread.

It's one thing to play tricks, but it's another thing to be exposed after playing tricks, and Isenas rarely lost his look of being in control of everything at this moment.

"I think many adventurers have recognized it, and I guess everyone is muttering to themselves now, isn't this the man who went to the tavern and told us that there was a big invasion of dark creatures to trick us into making money? Yes! That's it! Of course, I was his accomplice at the time. ”

There was a small whisper below, when the adventurers went out to fight, they didn't know that there were so many dark creatures of the Sanctuary level, strictly speaking, this was a deception to them.

"But I have to say that he has contributed to this battle, if he hadn't come up with such a strategy, a few people in our team alone would not have been able to stop the invasion of so many dark creatures. So, townsfolks, in addition to thanking Esenas for his trickery and our team, we should also thank these adventurers, ahem, of course, even though their motives are not so pure. And adventurers, look at the gold coins in your pockets, you don't have to have too much resentment towards my teammates, to be honest, this kind of battle loss ratio and gold income is not at all comparable to your ordinary adventure. ”

As soon as Lizanka's words came out, the adventurers below were a lot more balanced.

Since you come out to take risks, of course, you are ready to lose your life at any time, not to mention that gold coins are everything for adventurers.

Esenas swept his head behind the bread pan and whispered, "She's doing a good job." ”

Little Paul turned his head and looked at Izernas: "Hey, Isenas, you can show your head, the adventurers around you look at you normally." ”

Esenas knocked away little Paul's outstretched hand and said, "Don't move, take a good look around, don't look at these adventurers, look at these townspeople." ”

The townspeople of Xinshui Town, usually because of the lack of protection from the lord, are somewhat resentful of the adventurers who do evil, but when Lizanka said this, although the townspeople still look at the adventurers a little strangely, they are not as hostile as before.

Esenas tore off a small piece of bread, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Could it be that this Lizanka really plans to govern this town well?

"Okay, it seems that this teammate of mine is a little shy, so let's let him go this time, let's talk about our captain! Leo!"

Lizanka looked to the side of the square, where Leo and Nana were originally located, and Nana was the only one looking at the center of the square.

The group searched for them in the square, but Leo suddenly disappeared.

Leo, what about people?
