Chapter 33: Gold Coins (1)
"Miss, in broad daylight, pulling and pulling like this has a bad impact. "In the depths of winter, the Spring Festival is approaching, but the cold has not dissipated in the slightest, so it is natural that on the empty streets of College City, the tall man in a long white trench coat, who covers half of his face with a red mask, laughs like a woman from a good family who has been molested by hooligans.
"Hmph. Scarly snorted, let go of the hand that was tugging at Brunei's clothes, looked condescendingly at Brunei, who was actually half a head taller than her, and said softly, "Okay, I'll let go of you now." Come with me. ”
Brunei begged for mercy with a bitter face: "Miss, you see, we are both injured now-"
"You forgot the three rules of my temporary bodyguard so quickly?" Scarly sneered with her hands folded over her chest, "What's more, you still know you're hurt." Do you know who you are thanks to now being able to act so freely? Do you know how much it cost to heal your injuries? Not to mention, look at your magic emblem, which is now full of spiritual power, whose money is it?"
"......" The corners of Brunei's mouth twitched, he thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Miss, look, I am also good for you." Before leaving, the Ford butler repeatedly told me to make sure that you are safe, and what kind of 'exciting thing' do you say now, ahem, at least until we are fully prepared. Now you can go home and rest, okay? ”
Scarly narrowed her eyes, crossed her hands on her hips, and pressed her face to Brunei: "You, are you ordering me?"
"No—this—" Brunei took a step back.
Scarly took a step forward, "So, you, are restraining me?"
"Uh-no, this ......" Brunei took another step back.
Scarly forced him back against the wall, "You're just my makeshift guard." Wherever I go, you follow, and it's your job to protect me only when I'm in danger. There is no right to make an opinion, there is no right to refuse, understand?"
"Yes-yes......" Brunei raised his hands in submission, and Scarry turned around and continued to walk forward on his toes, while Brunei hunched over and said, "Well, Miss, didn't you say at the time that I was just here to deal with Ford's butler, and didn't really want me to be a guard?"
For some reason, Scarly's steps froze, so Brunei walked to her left, but she looked to the right at the same time, and Brunei didn't see her expression, but just heard her say a little weakly, "Ahh I was going to do that, but Uncle Ford took it upon himself to pay you so much, and you didn't do anything, and I didn't suffer much?"
Brunei nodded convincingly: "I see, it makes sense." ”
As a result, Scarly suddenly turned her head, looked at him coldly, and shouted, "Fool!"
“...... Huh?" Brunei tilted his head in confusion.
Scarly looked ahead again and waved her hand impatiently, "Don't ask so much, just follow me." ”
[Idiot. "System, shut up for me!" [Hey, you ungrateful black-hearted boy.] 】
......
The southern part of College City is a gathering place for the wealthy, and in the center of the city there will be unremarkable simple houses like the one where Gerald lived, but further south, the kind of house with a large courtyard where Scarly lived is not unusual, and the most exaggerated thing is that Brunei even saw mansions more than ten meters high but only two floors, and more than one, painted in various ornate or elegant colors, and decorated with plants or metal in an extravagant manner, as if some kind of competition was being played.
Brunei has been in College City for almost a year, but I have never been to this neighborhood, and it is a feast for the eyes. Although the system disdainfully dismissed it as a "shame. But perhaps because there were no pedestrians in the streets, Scarly didn't seem to find any shame in his manners, and let him walk along the way with a look of astonishment as he had done when he first entered Gars.
It wasn't until the road at the end was suddenly obscured by a towering black shadow that Brunei came back to his senses.
"Miss, we're going out of town?"
Scarly gave him a blank look, "Of course." What's there to do in town?"
“...... No, no, no, Miss, although I was talking nonsense just now, now I am doing it from the heart. Brunei said with a bitter face again, "It's too dangerous to get out of the city, I really can't let you fall into that kind of danger!"
Scully glanced at Brunei with an idiotic look, and then suddenly laughed, "Why?"
"Why? Of course your dear Uncle Ford threatened me with terrible words?" Although he thought so in his head, Brunei Darussalam, who has now learned the basic skills of speaking, did not just say it, scratched his head, and smiled a little embarrassed and said: "After all, I am now the eldest lady's bodyguard, and it is right to protect the eldest lady's safety." ”
Scarly raised an eyebrow, "Oh? You don't look like such a responsible person." After all, in the previous assessment, your task was to protect me, but after you set the fire, didn't you run away without looking back?"
"Why are you so smart, I don't think you're so smart!" Brunei laughed stiffly, and said in embarrassment, "This—"
As a result, I don't know why, Scarly's cheeks were a little red, and then she came up as if she was trying to hide something, and grabbed Brunei's ear with a wicked smile: "Okay, I won't tease you." Going out of the city is not just about going into the mountains, and there will be no danger in the places we are going. Let's go, take you to a long experience. ”
"Hmm......" Brunei felt completely confused, unable to grasp the rhythm of the conversation with Scully, and couldn't keep up with the other party's thinking, and now he accepted her money and accepted her love, and it seemed that he had to follow her and listen to her arrangement.
[Alas, cowardice. You still don't understand, women, such unpredictable, moody and wonderful creatures. 】
Brunei thought carefully for a while, and replied in his heart: "No, I think Su understands it very well." ”
【...... Ahem, something that doesn't make a living. Sue's charm value is only 70!Is it comparable to this kind of beauty whose upper limit is close to 90!Female characters who are not beautiful have no value at all! In other words, they are not women!]
Although "......" really wanted to start a scolding war with the system on whether Su was a beauty, but now after all, it was in front of Scarly, and if she was too emotional during the scolding war, she might be seen by this girl whose thinking was incomprehensible, so Brunei just rolled her eyes in the end and no longer paid attention to the inexplicable and excited system.
To the right and left of the broad and majestic gates stood four guards in bright new uniforms, with halberds in their hands, standing erect and motionless like statues from the sight of them in Brunei. This is also a strange scene that Brunei has never seen, the east gate of the academy city is adjacent to the mysterious institution that educated the group of children, and the guards are also shared, they can be seen patrolling back and forth every day, and their clothes will inevitably be a little dusty, and the guards at the north gate usually stay in special huts, and they look even more sloppy when there is nothing special. Such a formation as the South City Gate, Brunei is really the first time to see it.
Scarly, as if she was accustomed to it, calmly walked up to the first guard on the left, and did not speak, just hugged her chest, as if waiting for something.
And the guard was obviously aware of her approach, and with a sonorous movement, he turned around, raised his halberd, and slammed it to the ground: "This lord, is there anything you want me to serve you?"
Then, his gaze began to wander over Scully, and beyond the short blonde hair, amber eyes, somewhat sharp nose tip, and petite lips, he saw a black leather jacket that shined in the sun, a long-sleeved purple shirt, black fingerless gloves, and a pair of dark blue trousers underneath.
When he saw this, his eyes showed a little doubt, until he saw the surprisingly thick soles of the girl's feet like stilts at the bottom, and then he suddenly said, "It's Miltrov, how did you—how did you become like this?"
"It's not a big deal to be burned down a lot by fire. As she spoke, Scarly turned her face away and gave Brunei a vicious glare before continuing, "Alright, stop the ink. I'm going to take this guy to the 'gold coins'. ”
"But Militrov, you—" The guard said as he looked at Brunei, and then, not knowing what he had in mind, scratched his head, and left his post, bending his waist down for the first time, and said with a sneer, "All right." This is your first time going to the 'Gold Coins', right?
"For the first time?" because Scarly had always seemed to be familiar with the road before, so Brunei was indeed a little surprised when he heard the word, and couldn't help but repeat it.
Scarly's face turned very rosy, and she raised her foot and kicked the guard, "Don't talk so much, just lead the way." ”
"Yes, yes. My Lord—And, well, this Lord, please come with me. ”
