Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 42 Exercises
"Wow!"
"Ahh Yes, I'm sorry......"
"Wow-"
"Wait, when did you show up there?!"
"It hurts to death——!! I'm not doing it!! ”
The red-haired woman fell heavily to the ground, and then rushed to Rhine's side in a furious manner, while the latter raised an eyebrow and smiled without any sympathy at all.
"You said you were okay, Leanne."
"Hell no problem!" Lillian roared, "How could I possibly dodge in so much firepower? If there were just six of us, I could have hit either Imi or Shuka! ”
Reins chuckled disdainfully.
"I don't know who protested to me that she wasn't that stupid." She held a blue-green magic array in her hand, and Lillian was surrounded by circles of ice chips, "Come on, this is your own choice, don't let me cover you." I'm as kind as I can to reduce the swelling for you right now—but I don't have the leisure to get you ice packs, so I'll just freeze it all over. ”
“…… Can I go back now? ”
She looked very pitiful, and at least Iroh stepped forward to ask for warmth, but Rheins did not feel any pity.
"It's no use being coquettish with me." She smirked, "Or you can go back and change someone else, as long as you can stand their taunts for you." ”
Lilian's expression showed that she would rather be beaten than ridiculed.
"Then there's nothing more to say, Leanne, go on."
Seeing her death-defying back, Reins yawned, zeroed out the timer numbers in the air, and wrote down the time Lillian had held up in the round in a notebook.
"Lord Reins......" Iroh said hesitantly, "Is this how Leanne usually fights?" ”
Reins glanced at him, then added to the record the number of times Lillian had been hit before putting the pen down.
"Leanne has always prided herself as a valiant warrior, and valiant warriors never back down." She shook her head and leaned her body against Apaya, who naturally wrapped around her waist, "I and the other Fili cover her in normal battles, and because they are already too familiar, everyone will consciously avoid the trajectory of her movements - that's why I insist on practicing first and then fighting, now it's just some rubber bullets hitting her, and when it comes to fighting, these will become bloody holes in her body." ”
Iroh turned to look at Lillian, then sat down.
"I hadn't thought about what it would be like for her to fight." He whispered, "I only knew what she liked when I came to you before...... In the past, she had a soft personality and was not good at fighting, basically only responsible for logistics. ”
"So now you know." Rhine said unceremoniously, "You don't need me to remind you to know what the reason for her change is, do you?" For the sake of Leanne's mood, I can't stop saying a word to you, don't keep putting the old her on the current her, she'll just get more tired of you. ”
"Oh, I know......" Iloh shrunk his shoulders, "thank you very much, Lord Reins, if I have time, can I know a little more about Leanne?" ”
Rhines narrowed her eyes and decisively refused: "If you want to know this, either go to herself, or find someone else, like Ella or Ellie, don't expect me to tell you anything more, Ganillo." ”
The brown-haired man didn't look disappointed, perhaps he had known that the silver-haired mercenary would be the answer, and he began to watch intently as Lillian tried to fight again.
"I thought you hated him." Apaya whispered in Rhine's ear in a voice that Iloh wouldn't hear, "But you're still helping him." ”
"Of course I hate him." She tilted her head slightly in the same low volume and said, "But if I don't remind you of something, he'll put Leanne in a bad mood, and Leanne will start tossing us up, and I don't want to put up with that." ”
Apaya chuckled softly, which made Reins pound him hard.
"You don't have to laugh, what do you think those people are going to help you? You can't be so attractive that they like you. ”
The blonde man raised an eyebrow.
"I thought they wanted you to be happy and would help me." He said meaningfully, "If you're unhappy, you're going to toss your Fili too?" ”
The mercenary pursed his lips slightly, then cast a defiant glance at him.
"Are you really confident that you can give me happiness? Maybe your achievements in engineering have really given you a lot of confidence. ”
Apaya didn't answer her, just lowered her head and kissed her on the lips quickly.
"Your actions are inviting me, aren't they?" Faced with Reine's surprised and accusatory eyes, he said innocently.
“…… Are you really the engineer I know? No substitutions? She reached out and tugged at Appaya's face, as if to test if he had a mask on his face, even if it wasn't necessary, "Hell, I didn't see you as a hooligan." ”
"Maybe you should reflect on yourself?" Apaya let her tug at her face—she didn't have much strength anyway, "I wouldn't do that to anyone else." ”
Reinse's expression became subtle.
"How could I have thought you were a rigid engineer before?"
"I'm curious about that, too."
The silver-haired mercenary let out a "tsk" and turned his head to continue looking at the situation in the exercise ground.
"If I want to talk about it, Leanne's way of fighting like this has something to do with me." She subconsciously put her finger in front of her mouth to make her teeth close, but Apaya took it away, "At first, when there were only a few of us, I always helped her block all the attacks, and after a long time she got used to it. At first, I thought it was nothing, but then I gradually realized that she couldn't have me as a partner for the rest of her life, but I didn't have the opportunity and environment to correct it, so I could only work on her armor...... So after each battle, Xiuka had to spend half a day trying to restore her armor. ”
"I don't think it's your fault." Apaya casually played with Rheins's hair, "You can't just give her one to block attacks, but she's the only one who has become like this, right?" Her personality and habits...... You see, she's improved a lot now. ”
Looking at the red-haired woman who had been accidentally injured enough to leave the practice area again, Reins glanced at the time, and it had to be said that the time was indeed getting longer and longer, and the number of attacks Lilian had been taken a lot less.
It seems that it is still very promising to complete the run-in in two weeks.
…… Did she say before that it was promising to complete the run-in in two weeks?
Reins looked at Lilian, who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and kicked her.
"Get up." She couldn't help but sigh, "No, Leanne, you can't do that. You can't expect me to wait until you're done fighting before going to the lair. ”
Lillian let out a cry of pain.
"I don't know—Rhine." She wailed, "As soon as you join in, I'll subconsciously stop all dodging moves. ”
"That proves you haven't realized the seriousness of the matter, dear." Reins's tone sounded very gentle, "Get up, go on." I'm going to make you completely aware that you're going to be beaten into a sieve even if I'm present, and I'm definitely not going to add any defense to you unless you learn to dodge attacks. ”
"Excuse me, let me lie down a little longer—for one minute."
With that, Lilian closed her eyes, and Reins shook her head and walked in the direction of the others.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect her condition to be so serious." She rubbed her forehead, the training had been draining her mind, and Yura just smiled and shook her hand.
"There's no need to be sorry, Reins. Without you, no matter how much power we had, we would only have all died at the hands of the Soul Wounding Beast. ”
"But I think it's probably too late." "This is only her second training phase, and we've been around for a week. We'll at least try to figure out how to dodge after I've added her defenses - I can't just ignore her in real combat in order for her to learn to dodge, and I can't just stare at her forever for her laziness. ”
"I'm sure Leanne can." Iloh looked up at the red-haired woman still lying in the middle of the field, "She's always so determined...... If she wants to do it, she can do it. ”
Rhines made an indecipherable jet, but didn't say much. Lillian had jumped up again, yelling at her to get going.
"Okay, okay." She clapped her hands gently and walked slowly back to the practice field, "I feel like a parent now—when my child chooses to do something on her own and wants to be lazy and run away, I am responsible for driving her to do what she promised." ”
In Yura's chuckle, Reins looked at Apaya, who was operating the main firepower station in the family's combat power area, and showed a helpless smile, and then began a new round of training.
Looking at the red-haired woman who grinned and threw her body at Elian, Reins sighed heavily, then frowned in a headache.
"Uncomfortable?" The other man's fingers gently ran over her forehead, massaging her head, "You need to get some rest." ”
"I think so too." Reins furrowed her brow, "Although hearing her howling on the couch when I go back still makes me feel irritated to want to throw her out, which affects the quality of my rest...... Hell, why hasn't Ganillo gotten rid of Leanne yet? ”
Appaya stopped thoughtfully, took her hand instead, and led her to the exit.
"Can I think you're hinting at wanting to go to me?"
The mercenary's red eyes glanced at him, apparently not knowing that her eyes were basically the same as coquettish in the eyes of the other party.
"Of course, but don't think about anything, Mr. Engineer." She said lazily, "Until I can figure out what you can give, we'll stop there." ”
Mr. Engineer snorted and pressed the mercenary against the wall in a corner where no one was looking, asking for a vengeful kiss.
"Cunning mercenary." He put one hand on Reinse's waist and the other hand next to her ear, and his voice became a little hoarse, "I really owe you." ”
The silver-haired woman let out a cheerful laugh and wrapped her arms around each other's necks.
"Of course."
