Chapter 7 Welcome Dinner
Molfi's dinner party was surprisingly lively, and according to the mercenary, it was another "beyond common sense" routine for Murphy.
"Never think about this place with the tricks you have in your head." The silver-haired mercenary said, "Of course, there are still a few people here who do have their right minds, but this family is not a place where one person's decision can be decided, so you can only choose to endure these banquets like fools like those who have brains." β
The people of Morfi were so enthusiastic that the four people of the Demon King Continent ...... No, the three of them were surprised. However, according to Ella, when the relationship between the family and the mercenaries was so stiff that a battle could break out when they met, Murfi also showed more than the usual level of welcome to the Fili mercenary group.
"That's why we've been able to get along with the people here in such a short period of time." "They're not completely brainless, but they want to choose to believe that the 'notorious' mercenaries will have a soft side, knowing that there are risks...... They are courageous and have never hidden their intention to borrow power, but on the other hand, they will help us. This is an exchange of interests based on sincerity. β
"And whether it's Ella or Rhine, they're all getting together with the kiddies of the family." A woman with flaxen-colored hair with slightly curled ends removed Ella's bottom, and according to Ella's shouts as she threw herself over and strangled her neck, her name was Imi, "Although there hasn't been much progress on Erie's side because of Rhine's old mother's mentality, it will be sooner or later - actually, I always thought that Bora would be taken away by the Gula family." β
The names that popped up one after another made Bianko confused, although she received a period of education in the Nobil family after marriage, it was obviously difficult for her to become a mature noble lady in such a short time, not to mention that Kilde did not seriously train her strictly.
Bianco's dazedness was immediately noticed by Kyalde, who gently patted Bianco's head to turn her attention away from the names that were giving her a headache.
"You don't have to memorize it, if you have any dealings later, you will naturally remember it when the time comes." He whispered to Bianko, "If you don't have a chance to meet and talk in the future, there's no need to bother remembering these names." β
There seems to be some truth to that, at least Bianko took it all.
The composition of Morfi's personnel was a normal category for them, but the members of the Fili Mercenary Group surprised the people of the Demon King Continent. In any case, in the Demon King Continent, a child in his early ten years old would not become a mercenary to fight.
But there were indeed children in the Filip mercenary group who were only about twelve years old, and there was more than one. The creamy-haired twins reminded KΓ―ld of the kind of food his wife loved, but soon he didn't think about it anymore - for the twins, the family and the mercenaries had reached a rare consensus, almost recognized as little devils.
The young man, who had the same hair color as Ella, carried the twins to the table where the mercenaries were eating, and the two children were holding objects that made Kyild sensitive to the danger, but for their safety, he decided not to ask.
The people of Molfi were more welcoming than they should have been, but they were not so enthusiastic as to make them feel uncomfortable. The person who has been most comfortable in the new environment is Bianko, who realizes that she doesn't have to communicate with people she doesn't know, so she focuses her energy on the food in front of her, and no longer pays attention to anyone other than her husband or her friends.
This was clearly the tacit approval of Kryd, or rather, Kryd wanted her to do so. Maybe she'll need to do something she can then, but that's not now.
"Think about your attitude." Wokan winked at Kyird, "Look at her now, you're more used to her than anyone else. β
Compared to the previous attitude of refuting the subject as soon as it was brought to the subject, Kylde was now accustomed to this level of quipping to deaf ears. He just kept an eye on Bianko's eating, correcting her recipe from time to time.
"I've said it many times, don't be a picky eater, Bianco." Kylde stared intently at the plate in front of Bianko, "If you don't pay attention to your nutrition, you won't be able to achieve the goal you want to keep fit, and then you won't be able to make trouble with me." β
Bianco's lips pursed unhappily, and she frowned as she stared at the originally white plate in front of her that her husband had filled it with colors she didn't like, which could easily cause her disgust, but they were from Kyalde, so she couldn't really object to anythingβmoreover, she knew he was telling the truth.
"But I really don't like them." The girl said with a sad face, "They chew too hard." β
"Are you a child or an old man?" Kyald ruthlessly dismissed Bianko's coquettishness, "Why can't your teeth bite the food?" Eating only the soft, chewy stuff is what makes you so picky now, and you have to be aware that if you let your own faults go now, wait another ten years, and you will find that your teeth will never be able to bite anything again. β
The girl's frightened expression was a good reflection of how intimidated she was.
Not far from the restaurant, at the table that the mercenaries loved, they were also discussing the four people from the Demon King Continent.
"They're not quite what I imagined." Ella scratched her chin thoughtfully, "Although I know that the people of the Demon King Continent are no different from us, they are all the same human beings, but they have chosen different camps, but...... I'm still used to having a little personal prejudice against them. β
"It's normal, before I came to Molphy, I thought the family was a bunch of treacherous and unreasonable bastards." Imi tugged a chicken leg in her hand, "Actually, I still think so about the other families, but Morfi is an exception. β
"You want to say that these four too?" Ella asked curiously, "Or is it one of them?" β
Imi paused, and she frowned in embarrassment. She wasn't good at thinking too hard questions, so she turned and shoved the food in her hand into Shuka's mouth before glancing at the table.
"Although that kid is very similar to Ellie, they are also very different." Imi said cautiously, "I can't help but say that the kind of atmosphere they get along with each other makes me feel ...... At least they're not Roses' kind of people. β
"'Believe in love'?" Lillian joined the conversation with a wicked smile, "That sounds weird, is this what Immy would say?" β
Imy rolled her eyes and pushed Lillian aside with her elbow.
"If your ears are fine, you know I didn't say that." Imy complained loudly to Lillian, "Rather, if I can think of something from the words I say, it means that your mind is full of that thing right now." β
"'That thing'? Do you realize that you are talking about yourself and Shuka? β
Imi was completely unmoved, and she put her arms around Shuka with a sweet expression and winked at Lillian.
"I'm on good terms with Shoka, and even if we call our relationship 'that thing,' we're still very much in love."
Lillian looks like she wants to vomit, and although she somehow resists her urges, she still can't escape being ridiculed.
"What, are you pregnant?" Rhein mocked mercilessly, "Do you need to go to the bathroom and vomit?" We're not going to stop you. β
Lillian grinned and tried to pounce on Reinse, but Reins used her words to dispel Lilian's thoughts.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do that." "This is your rare personal time, and if you want to fight me here, there's no doubt that Ganillo will come to you like a smelling wild dogβhe would have an excuse to come up to you." β
"In that case, Apaya will come over as well." Lillian retorted unyieldingly, "And you don't want to see him dangling in front of you now." β
The two stared at each other for a moment, and finally turned their heads to the side in tacit agreement, and reached a basic agreement on the decision to keep the peace at this moment.
"Although I don't think your approach can be of much use." Paula, who had been eating slowly, expressed her opinion, "Countless facts in the past have proved this, and you will easily lose to their sweet words...... Or is it something that seems to be touching? Including Ella as well. β
"Oh, shut up, Bora." Ella looked at her brother complainingly, "What do you say I'm doing?" In the quarrel were Rhine and Leanne. β
"And"
"Bora"
"Self also"
"Don't want to see"
"βthe people of the Gula family!"
The twins' singing and harmony won a thrill for each of them, and the two children jumped out of their chairs with their heads covered and ran around the table with their heads in their hands.
"In that case, Rhine and Leanne will be angry, and Ella will side with them because she habitually indulges the bad temper of the two of them, why is Bora?" Imi stared at Bora inquiringly, "Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that Rhine and Apaya were together, and you were always with the Gula family, I would have thought you liked Rhine." β
Bora had an expression as if she had seen something disgusting.
"Why this comparison?" There was a rare strong resistance in his tone, "Don't say that I seem to have some strange relationship with those people, is it okay?" β
"Oh, I'm just saying you're in a good relationship." Imi shrugged, "If you really like Rhine, you'll spend more time blocking her from dating Apaya than playing with the guys in Gulla, because that's your personality." β
Bora pursed her lips and stopped dwelling on her over the subject.
