As a result, when I got to Lorraine, I found that I was empty.?

"Lorraine-senpai? He would come back very late every day, and sometimes he would not see a figure until the next day, and he was said to be cultivating. ”

A cadet of the Warrior Department who patrolled to the neighborhood told Natsu about Lorraine's whereabouts.

Although Abner is the representative of the warrior department, all the warrior cadets have a lot of respect for Lorraine, and many people will pay attention to the movements of the strongest swordsman in the academy.

"What a hard worker."

Looking at the empty room, Xia felt a little unhappy:

I am now busy with trivial matters every day, but others are running around!

"How can you let this strongest swordsman be idle, go back and let Luo Ye arrange something for him to do, preferably cleaning the toilet or moving bricks or something." On the way back, someone thought with malice.

"Master, do you want to go back?"

Stephanie seemed to have something to say.

"What can I do if I don't go back?"

Xia blew off a piece of grass that had just been dragged down from the side of the road in his hand and blew it out:

"The problem of the airship ghost has been solved, the expert team has completed the assessment, and the maintenance team is ready, and the repair can be started as soon as the necessary materials are in place; Now all that's left is to help Wendy with some chores...... Why don't we find a place to upgrade? ”

She thought of her newly learned secret swordsmanship, and her heart was a little tickled.

"Master, do you remember that mirror?"

Stephanie said suddenly.

"Mirrors? That mirror of truth that Wendy was talking about? ”

Xia Dengshi was shocked to realize that he had overlooked an important thing:

That mirror is an item related to the main quest! How to forget it.

"Master, now that Agnes has recovered, we can take that mirror and study it, and maybe we can really get the whereabouts of the Fragment of God!"

The little Lori in black seems to be unusually persistent in the main quest, urging her to arrive.

"That stinky black cat doesn't seem to accept the call."

Natsu tries to contact the demon cat with the mirror of truth on her body, but the other party is sleeping. After thinking about it, he didn't use the soul contract to forcibly wake it up.

Although it has the power of life and death, it does not mean that it will be squeezed to death, so let it slowly recover there first.

"Let's go, follow me to another place."

Natsu turned a corner and walked towards the area where the mages lived.

……

"The hosts. What a shame. ”

Stephanie flew beside her with some displeasure, and the two had just come out of Sardonan:

"Although I didn't draw a good ability, I just gave away my superpower......

"What's this, people are missing a leg, and they are injured so badly, can't you be a little sympathetic?"

Xia nodded her head and lectured her.

After the superpower was upgraded to lv3, there was actually one more chance to draw, but Xia has been useless.

Because she found that the experience required to upgrade from lv3 to lv4 was not simply multiplied several times. Rather, it has risen to a staggering number!

Not only that, but the more superpowers you have, the more experience you'll need to level up in the future...... That's hundreds of millions of experience, who can afford to play this thing!

"But that arcane mage is quite loyal to his master, and when he was about to be killed by Jersey, he desperately tried his best to protect his master, so just give it."

Stephanie rubbed the place where she had been poked, and said that she was not completely unreasonable, but was just very unhappy to give away her things.

"Big deal, wait until we're gone. Just fight a few more bosses...... Besides, my strongest skill at the moment is in the secret swordsmanship, and I don't have the experience to fill the big hole of superpowers for the time being. It is better to give it to the person who needs it most, not to mention that this person is still a companion. ”

Xia couldn't help but sigh a little when he thought of what happened to Sadonan, a poor mage.

"Isn't the strongest skill a nameless sword skill, master?"

Stephanie asked, puzzled.

"That thing is the same as Elemental Awakening, you can't use it all the time." Xia sighed and said, "Have you ever seen a special move as soon as you come up during a battle?" Although a 1-on-1 duel can be won with one blow, we are facing more than one enemy, and how can we fight after falling with a sword? ”

"I see. Master. ”

Stephanie followed Xia all the way to her residence, but when she passed by Lorraine, she noticed an acquaintance standing outside.

"Luo Ye, what are you doing here?"

Natsu was very curious about this mysterious girl, so he walked over to say hello to her.

"Good afternoon. Mr. Xia. ”

Luo Ye glanced at Xia, then turned his head to look at the only room nearby, and a meaningful smile appeared on his originally cold face:

"You're here to find Lord Lorraine, too?"

My lord?

Xia rarely heard Luo Ye use honorific titles for others.

She replied casually:

"yes, I'm looking for something with him, but this guy is really laid-back, and he hasn't come back for so long."

"Lord Lorraine is really too unpleasant."

Luo Ye pushed down the glasses on the bridge of her nose:

"In the past, I always liked to put down my business and not do it, go on some adventures, and practice some useless swordsmanship...... I could have done something more meaningful. ”

Xia was a little surprised, she didn't expect her to be so familiar with Lorraine.

She asked tentatively:

"That...... What is your relationship with Lorraine? I think you know him a lot. ”

"Oh?"

Luo Ye's face showed an expression of "sure enough", and said playfully:

"You seem to care about that."

Seeing that Xia looked like she wanted to defend herself, she said lightly:

"I'm now a classmate and friend of Lord Lorraine, and yours at the same time, that's all; I hope you don't overthink it, and I'm only interested in what I do, so don't worry. ”

At this point she turned around and chuckled in a low voice:

"As for the future...... Who knows? At least not the enemy, because ...... Hehehe......"

Then I saw her wave her hand and leave.

"What a strange girl."

Xia faintly felt that there was some deep meaning hidden in her words, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Stephanie, what's wrong with you?"

She asked the little Lori in black who was watching Luo Ye's back.

"Master, I just found out that her profession is so strange."

Stephanie brings up the information panel.

"Strategic analysts, military intelligence investigators?"

Xia looked at these two somewhat ridiculous names:

Could it be that Luo Ye is a spy?

"Look up the origins of these two professions." She said curiously.

Stephanie looked it up. Answered:

"Master, these two professions originated from the Harlem Empire......"

She suddenly raised her head, looked in one direction and said:

"Master, the person you were looking for seems to have returned."

After a while, a man with a big sword on his back appeared from a distance, it was Lorraine, who had gone out to cultivate.

"Natsu?"

Lorraine was surprised to see someone outside her residence.

Natsu looked at the clothes on his body. It was full of traces of being soaked in water, and I couldn't help but ask:

"Where did you go to cultivate?"

"Waterfall."

Lorraine replied, covered in sweat.

Xia choked for a moment:

Did he run to climb Despair Falls?

"I tried to hit the top and failed."

Lorraine took off the sword from her back and opened the door:

"Come in?"

Although he came to talk to him about things, when the two of them were alone, Xia still hesitated for a while before walking into the house with him.

"Do you want to drink tea, I only have clear tea here."

Lorraine pulled out two cups.

"No, I'm here for something I want to tell you."

I saw Lorraine close the door casually. Xia was a little uncomfortable:

"I've heard people mention before that you're a mana drain?"

Lorraine's movements stopped suddenly.

"Yes."

After a while, he slowly lowered his hand holding the cup, and because it was facing away from this side, he couldn't see the expression on his face.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to laugh at you."

Natsu took out a small green ball from the bag around his waist:

"Actually, I have a similar constitution, and I used to be like you, and I was very troubled by this; But then I found a solution......"

"Peng!"

The two cups in Lorraine's hands were suddenly crushed!

"Uhhh

Natsu hurried to the door. The heart was beating violently:

Does Lorraine want to turn the other cheek?

Or is it all of a sudden beastly hair, wanting to do something to yourself...... This is a secret room!

She looked at the closed door. He quietly put his hand on it, ready to open the door and escape at any moment.

"What you said is true?"

Lorraine turned, a look of disbelief on her face.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly."

Xia saw that he didn't show signs of animalistic anger or anger, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief:

"You've seen me use this knife to emit flames, right?"

She pulled out her long black knife, and purple flames erupted from it.

"Yes."

Lorraine replied as he looked at the purple flame on the knife.

There was a hint of envy in his eyes when he said this.

"Take this."

She handed the green ball to Lorraine.

"What did you give me? I can feel the quality and fluctuations. But you can't see it. ”

Lorraine looked down at his hand, and unlike Natsu, he didn't see the green ball.

"Maybe you don't know, I stole a lot of things from you."

Xia looked at him and said:

"Even if it's my apology and compensation to you, if you believe me, I'll swallow this...... Although I can't give you back what I lost. But I can solve the problem that has plagued you for years! ”

Hearing her words, Lorraine's body trembled.

He looked at Natsu's face, then at his own hands, and stood there silent.

"Let's go."

Natsu said to Stephanie in her mind and opened the door.

"Oops!"

"Yikes!"

As a result, two girls fell in from outside the door.

“…… Stephanie, how do you do detection? ”

Natsu looked at Al and Shizuki who were getting up on the ground, and said to the black-clothed little Lori in annoyance.

"The three of them have no malice, and they all have a high opinion of the owner, so I didn't report it."

Stephanie explained.

"Three?"

Xia looked left and right, but didn't see where the third person was.

"Sister, I'm sorry ......"

Shizuki rubbed her red nose and said timidly.

"What are you two doing here?"

Xia asked them strangely.

"That...... Al said he saw you and Lorraine enter his room, and thought you were having a tryst...... Ah! ”

Shizuki was poked in the waist by Al and shut her mouth.

“……”

Al bowed his head beside him, his hands gripping the corners of his skirt tightly.

Seeing her expression, Xia's heart moved, and he pulled her to a remote place alone.

"Al, aren't you mad at me?"

She didn't dare to hold Al all the time, and let go of her hand and asked.

"Me? Angry? ”

Al looked up and said:

"Nope...... I just didn't know how to face my sister for a while...... That's why I don't dare to talk to you. ”

Speaking of which, she seems to have made up her mind:

"Please wait for me!"

Then she ran away and hid behind a tree.

After a while she came up with a hand behind her back, her face was red, and she said in a voice as thin as a mosquito:

"I've been annoyed these days and quietly asked a lot of people...... It wasn't until yesterday that someone sued me about the way to show intimacy between two girls. ”

Saying that, she quickly stuffed a warm thing into Xia's hand, and said with a red face:

"Sister-sama...... Remember to give me yours, too! ”

After saying that, she covered the back of her skirt and ran away.

"It's ...... What is it? ”

Natsu unfolded the things in his hand, and a pair of pale yellow pants appeared in front of him, with body temperature on them. (To be continued......) R527
