In the leeward of a tree, Lusha sits on a rock, next to Deerno, who has been ordered by the captain to stay behind to take care of Lusha.

"That...... Would you like some wine, Miss Lusa?" Gently handing the flask that the captain had just sent to Lusa, Dereno stumbled, "This is made from my uncle's shop, and it tastes very good." The degree is very low and sweet, you may like it. ”

Afraid that Aya would refuse, Deirno didn't wait for her to reply, and hurriedly added: "I haven't used this wine jug, you don't have to worry." ”

"Well, thank you. Nodding slightly, Lusha's expression was completely hidden under the hood. Holding Denor's flask, she tilted her head slightly and took a sip.

The girl's hands were too small to seem to be able to grasp the jug at all...... Guessing Lusha's expression at this time, Deenor scratched his head and asked embarrassedly, "Is it delicious?"

"Well, that's pretty good. The voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, and Lutha lifted her hood slightly and looked directly at Denor: "The fruity aroma is very strong, but there is no choking taste at all." Your uncle is so good at drinking. ”

"This, that's it. Hanging his head in embarrassment, Derno was a little overwhelmed by the overly blunt compliment: "If you like it, don't drink it all politely." I'll send a bucket to Snow Castle in a while. Your sister and the mad dog should love it too......"

"No, it's a waste of money. Still very considerate of others, Lusa's voice seemed to become more subtle: "Also, Denor...... Even if you've drunk this flask to your mouth, it's fine. We Aya have the ability to purify automatically, so we don't care about that. ”

"Ah...... That's what happened. Having decided to give them a bucket, Deerno felt a little helpless in his heart: it seemed that this kind of behavior did not mind in their race, and had no meaning worthy of further investigation. But here we are—no, in most human beings, it's a kind of indirect kissing. Also, is that really how the power of purification is used?

"You don't think you brought Minia with you. I always felt a little awkward when I looked at Lusha, and after pondering for a long time, Denorn suddenly noticed that Lusha was not holding the pink ball today: "Did you forget to bring it?"

"No, she didn't put it in her bag because she was asleep. Patting the shriveled crossbody bag, Lusha's tone was very lost: "Because to let it go into the bag, you have to wake up the dango and let her shrink." I can't bear it. ”

Let me tell you something...... Feeling that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, Deerno realized that he was really not good at talking to girls. It soon became apparent that the reason why Lusha seemed so unnatural was because he was not with his sister and two male companions.

I'm sure I can't replace them, what's the deal...... After thinking about it, Deenor decided to talk to the captain: "Lusa, why don't I go and talk to the captain and send you back to Cold Snow Castle? Your task has been done very well, there is no need to ......"

"Nope. Despite the low volume, Lusha's tone was firm, "I'm going to help." And only I can see invisibility, so ...... So I had to go along. ”

“...... Oh well. Hanging his head in frustration, Deerno realized that he was very easily shaken in front of the girl, and his position was simply fragile: I should stick to my opinion, and then I should carry out Captain Eders' order to protect her.

As soon as the words landed, he fell into a long silence with Lusa. Unable to find anything to talk about, Derno became more and more embarrassed, and had to watch Aya silently. Lusa seemed embarrassed, but lowered her head and quietly hugged the flask without taking another sip.

Thankfully, it didn't take long for the atmosphere that made Deerno uncomfortable to break it. Behind him, a man's shout, "Hey, Lusha?"

Just as Deerno turned around and thought, 'Who is this?' Lutha exclaimed excitedly and gave the answer, "Seth!"

Seth, Seth...... Oh, it's Cyberdart—the elf they've talked about so many times? like the guy who went to the Frozen Wasteland and didn't come back, and everyone was talking about. Is this elf not dead?

The girl excitedly put down the flask and rushed up and threw herself into the elf's arms. Holding Aya and touching her head, the ranger's cheeks looked very soft under the projection of the cold moon: "You can't let me say that the opening sentence is handsome, Lusha - do you need the ranger's help?" I held back for a long time to say this, and my lungs almost exploded." ”

"That ......" Looking at this scene like a parent-child reunion, Delno blushed inexplicably. Remembering that he should introduce himself first, he hurriedly said in fluent Eurasian language: "It's Mr. Sebodat Ehrens, right? I'm Deirno Nams." ”

"It's an honor to meet you. Looking at Denor's whole body with strange eyes, Cyberdat gently put down Lusa, who was hugging her coquettishness, and said briskly: "You speak Eurasian very well, is it half foreigner?"

"No...... I'm a pure snowman. It's just that I've lived in a foreign country for a while. Hung his head in annoyance and inferiority, Derno muttered: "Don't you look like you're tall, right? It's only 1.75 meters, which is a head shorter than other men." Maybe it's because I didn't stay in Neverwinter when I was taller, so I didn't experience the baptism of ice and snow. ”

"The kid who wants to grow up really has to live here. Although he seemed to want to comfort Denor, the elf chose to make a joke and then change the subject: "Your captain is too busy to tell me about the battle plan. ”

"Oh, this. Hearing the elf's voice, Deenor hurriedly pointed to a hot spring where a wooden ladder was being built: "Miss Lusa said that she saw the enemy jump from the mouth of the hot spring. Due to the depth of the hole, a straight ladder had to be erected. After the ladder is erected, the support forces will basically be in place. When the time comes, they will take a group of ten people as a unit and rush inside one by one. ”

"No one has ever gone down to this spring?" Looking at Denor's line of sight, the elf pressed the brim of his hat, looking puzzled, "Also, since it's so deep, wouldn't the other Corruptors who weren't mutants be able to jump in?"

"Izumi did send someone down to investigate the cause, but nothing unusual was found. Maybe it's a secret door or something......" Scratching his head, Derno stumbled and replied, "As for the second question, I thought of it too. That's why it's suggested that Captain Eddes send someone to patrol the neighborhood to prevent the enemy from escaping through another entrance. ”
