When the two returned to the engineer's bedroom, the moment Apaya closed the door, he felt the temperature of the mercenary coming from behind him.

“…… He knows what 'instructor' means to us......"

Reine's body trembled.

Appaya turned around and took her into her arms.

As he had guessed, staying in a space that he had just quarreled with his brother and that he was unfamiliar with and distrustful of made it impossible for the mercenary to let his guard down.

He gently stroked the back of her head, trying to soothe her emotions.

"yes, how could he do that." Apaya lowered her head and said, "He's your most beloved brother, but he said that kind of thing to hurt you......"

The silver-haired woman began to protect her brother at a young age, and what did her brother do?

"He prefers to get along with Tichardo and treat Tichardo as family, so I'll let the two of them out." Rhines buried her head in Apaya's arms, so her voice was a little muffled, "But Ticharo hurt him, the important person of Ticharo is not Sirua, he even hurt Sirua for others, why does he still have the face to run around with Silua all over the world?" ”

Appaia felt as if she understood why she was targeting the man named Ticharo so much.

"Does Siruja know about this?"

Reins seemed to be getting a little angry.

"He knew, of course he knew, but he still followed Ticharda everywhere with all his heart, and helped Tichardo find something to save Tichard's friends, just because Tichardo had helped him!"

She lifted her face, and Apaya didn't find tears in those red eyes, even though she always looked like she was going to collapse in the next second.

"If it weren't for that, who would care about him and Ticharo? Not to mention that they are friends or relatives now, even if he wants to marry Ticharo in the future, I don't care! But Ticharo is still using him, and this time they will be injured because Silua wants to help Ticharo buy time! ”

After this call, Reins lowered her shoulders again as if she had lost her strength.

"But he said that to me...... He actually said I was ......"

A monster who doesn't understand feelings, can't be loved, and doesn't love others.

How cruel it must be for such a brother to say such words.

"But you're not." Appaia gently placed her hand on Rhine's cheek, "You are loved by your Fili, and you love your Fili. ”

He paused and continued.

"And me."

Reine's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked up at him with those red eyes.

"Do you love me?"

The mercenary's question made Appaya's heart feel like she didn't know how to describe it.

"Of course. How else would I be with you-"

"Am I the most important person to you?"

There was a seriousness and persistence in her somewhat clear and cold voice, which made Apaya think about it seriously.

Is Reins the most important person in Apaya?

It was as if he had returned to the same problem he had some time ago.

If he admits this, does it mean that he and Hua Shao are no longer close friends who can share no matter what happens?

He never thought that Hua Shao was more important than Rhine. One is a close friend who has helped him a lot, and the other is his partner, and he has always valued them as important.

…… But is this really the right thing?

After Hua Shao and Huck met, he knew that his best friend was no longer all the troubles that would be told to him, and even so, he always thought that as long as he still insisted on their connection, then their relationship would not be broken.

And after the two people got back together, Shao also spent most of his time with Huck, even if he still talked to himself, but he didn't talk too much about too deep topics.

He didn't seem to feel any discomfort either, as he was always paying more attention to his mercenaries.

So why didn't you promise her at the time?

When she said that she hoped that he and Hua Shao would no longer maintain close contact, why did she not agree?

INTERVIEWER What are you afraid of?

The sudden warning on his soul tugged his mind back to reality, and he realized in a trance that he might have been spending too much time thinking, and that his mercenaries were looking at him earnestly, instead of being evasive.

Her eyes seemed to say that she was ready for any possible answer.

But his soul told him that if he really let her down, then he would regret it.

"Yes." He made up his mind, "You are the most important person to me. ”

The moment he said this, he felt as if he had been relieved of some pressure, and he didn't have all the awkwardness he expected in his heart. And the look in his red eyes in front of him also made him glad that he hadn't made the wrong decision.

The soft object covered his lips, and the other party's unprecedented initiative gave him a subtle feeling of flattery, and he clearly felt the touch of the other's somewhat cold hand, which made him feel an indescribable sense of weightlessness.

"Wait, Rhine......" he pressed her hand a little embarrassed, "what are you doing......

Reins looked at him with a stubborn expression.

"Don't you want to?" Her tone was unexpectedly calm, "I don't mind right now. ”

Apaya looked at her with a slight frown, although the answer to his heart was naturally yes, but - not now.

He picked up Reins and placed him on the bed, then walked to the bathroom with the mercenary raising an eyebrow.

"You rest for a while, wait and have a good meal."

"Don't you really want to?" She lay on the bed with her hands and covered her face, "Or do you actually like me as much as you say?" ”

Her defiant words were exchanged for an engineer's glare.

"Of course I do." He snorted disapprehantly, "But I think you're trying to do it because of me...... Instead of being so angry with your brother that he wants to divert his attention like this. ”

With that, he walked into the bathroom, and Reins blinked, and rolled around on his bed.

The Engineer's words sound like she's a bit of an overkill, but ...... Seriously, wouldn't it be because of him that she would want to do this? This rigid engineer.

But it is undeniable that his behavior made her heart feel a little sweet.

Plus what he said earlier...... Even though she knew it was just to coax her, it made her happy.

If his character can say such things, then it will not be far from him really thinking like this.

Even if it is said that Hua Shao is as important as her for the time being, it doesn't matter. No matter how much she cared about it...... But if you think too much, it will only push people away, and it will also make you feel uncomfortable.

And at the end of the day......

Hua Shao is still her sister.

"Has Reins rested?" The black-haired woman smiled and handed the mercenary a glass of juice, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

She took the juice and took a sip before placing it on the table.

"It's okay with this intensity, but it's just because of unexpected personal matters that I'm a little tired." Rhines looked like he had fully adjusted, "Being interrupted by Sirujah, and we couldn't continue to talk about business, it already made me feel inappropriate." ”

Hua Shao looked like she wanted to persuade her, but she finally got down to business as Rheins meant.

"You mentioned that they were using small crystal nucleus fragments and using tin grass to speed up the growth of the soul wounding beasts." Hua Shao looked at the cup in his hand and frowned, "There is no doubt that they are trying to greatly increase the number of Soul Wounding Beasts in a short period of time, but as you said, this will be easily eliminated by us, and in the end it will not cause any impact." ”

"A large number of people only has an impact on time." Reins muttered, "Does this make any sense?" ”

With a muffled "bang", Reins looked up and saw Hua Shao putting the cup on the table.

"Reins." Hua Shao said eagerly, "When you went to save Siluya, you said that there were about two hundred snowfield beasts, right?" ”

Reinth nodded and said, "The Snowmon is not a difficult monster to deal with, but it has pushed Silua into a desperate situation because there are too many of them—it will deplete Silua's physical strength. ”

"Soul Wounding Beasts won't band together to attack us, so what will their numbers consume us?" Hua Shao's eyes had a stunning brilliance, "Our vigilant heart." If this is the only way to do it for a long time, we will no longer have any fear of these monsters. And at this time, as long as they unleash a more powerful means-"

Reins' pupils contracted.

"Ah, that's right." She whispered, "This is the ......"

The Soul Wound Beast could never be the only type of magical beast that Rossos had restored and created.

Now that there is the Fili mercenary group as the enemy, even if they come up with some higher-level magical beasts, I am afraid it will not have too obvious effects.

Then they will only have a degree that they cannot expect......

"I think we need to find out something." Rhines tapped her fingers lightly on the table, "Rossos would never risk being discovered by placing the Soul Wounding Beast's cubs very far away from their branch, so there must be their institution near the lair." ”

There was a fierce glint in Reins' eyes.

"In that case, you can ask Sanger to investigate." Hua Shao's tone was extraordinarily relaxed, "If you can find their branch, then you can also investigate more information, as for more ...... There's nothing we can do until it happens, so don't worry too much. I think there may be something more pressing than that. ”

"For example?"

"Whoa." Hua Shao's mouth snuggled towards the door, "Look, trouble is coming." ”

Siruja and Ticharo appeared at the door, Ticharo had always had a cold face, while Silua looked unhappy.

"Why are you here?" When Sirua saw Rhine, he shouted dissatisfiedly, "The ghost is not gone...... I should have gone. ”

"No one is stopping you, young master." Reins sneered, "If you can take a little bit, you'll know that this is a communal dining area, and it's time to eat." If you don't like it, then you can eat at another time. ”

Siruja looked like he was choking.
