"Huh, really?" Freya's drawing voice drew an image of Pannis's eyes widening in surprise with her small mouth covered, but she soon couldn't help herself from laughing out loud, "Haha, just kidding, Mr. Pannis is an exception." ”

"Exceptions?" asked Pannis, puzzled, "Why am I exceptional?"

"Because Mr. Pannis was the first man to hate me, hehe. Freya smiled and said, "I'm curious about you, sir." ”

"Hey, you can't make jokes like that. Pannis said embarrassedly, "I'll think crookedly." And you're getting married, and the lady in the marriage is not within my guard, so you can't insult my morals!"

"I've heard Catherine say that Mr. Pannis's garrison and morality, hahaha. Feeling that Pannis's words were suddenly chosen, Freya felt that she hadn't been so happy in a long time, even when Wesker came to propose, it was only a faint joy, and now she found the heartfelt joy she had when she was with friends two years ago and teased each other: "Thank you, Mr. Pannis, for making me laugh like this, haha." ”

"Hey, that's pretty much enough to laugh. Pannis held his chin helplessly, and his fingers hit his knees boringly: "You are not afraid of laughing and can't sleep, is it necessary to laugh so badly?"

"I'm sorry, poof. Freya held back a smile and said, "It's just that I haven't laughed so happily for a long time, and I can't help it." ”

"Why don't you smile more?" said Pannis, who seemed to recall the past, the smile in his eyes fading away, but a standard smile appeared on his face.

"Because I'm naturally emotionally sensitive, I always feel very depressed. Freya whispered, "Moreover, my father always told me that if you want to pursue love, you must restrain your emotions and be a gentle and considerate lady, so I have never allowed myself to laugh hard." However, the correspondence with Wesker made me understand. To love someone, you have to show him your most practical side, whether it is good or bad, you should be sincere and relative. After all. In the future, we will walk hand in hand, and the road ahead will be side by side......"

"Ahem, I think you've misunderstood something. Pannis immediately interrupted Freya to prevent her from continuing: "Actually, Odin is not wrong, even if he is opposite to his lover, sometimes he has to make some disguises. No. It can't be called camouflage, it's about making some changes, changing your shortcomings and shortcomings for the sake of the other party's preferences. ”

But Wesker said that to love someone is to embrace all of her, both flaws and strengths. Freya said distressedly, "It's not the same as you said." ”

"That's true, but haven't you thought it's not fair?" Pannis sighed: "Love is mutual, he loves you, you love him, that's love." Well, because he loves you. He will tolerate all of you, even if he doesn't like you talking the way you do. ”

"He didn't dislike. Freya said dissatisfiedly, "He said he liked me to be so sad and sensitive. ”

"For example, just for example. Pannis explained, "Just assume he doesn't like you talking like that." ”

"Well, what if, and then?" Freya asked, "He doesn't like it, but he'll tolerate my shortcomings." ”

"But what about you?" Pannis asked rhetorically, "Do you love him?"

"Of course. Freya said without hesitation: "I don't love him, how can I want to marry him?"

"Then you didn't think that because you love him, you should also tolerate him?" asked Pannis, "you should also tolerate the fact that he doesn't like you to talk the way, and try to make changes for him, just as he changes for you." This is mutual love, not blindly asking the other party to change, blindly taking, right?"

"Ugh. This ......" Freya was suddenly speechless, completely unable to refute Pannis's words: "I need to think, I need to think, am I really wrong?"

"Maybe it's right, maybe it's not, think about it. Pannis jumped off the roof of the carriage: "I'm hungry again." I'm going to find something to eat. ”

"I want it too, bring me some too. Although Freya was fascinated, she hadn't forgotten a word.

"Didn't you just finish eating cookies?" Pannis was stunned: "Why are you still hungry?"

"It's chaotic and needs to be distracted. Freya's voice grew lower and lower, lost in thought.

――――――――――――――――

The shimmer of the winter morning shone faintly on the camp, and the few campfires that had burned last night were only warm ashes and curling green smoke. On the transparent crystal windows, the frost formed a strange pattern, and under the eaves of the carriage, there were still a few drops of water that had condensed into ice without dripping.

Catherine lifted the tent and took a deep breath, the icy chill immediately filling her chest, dispelling the drowsiness that had not yet completely subsided. When I walked out of the camp, I found that some of the team members had already gotten up and were busily shuttling around the camp, sorting out the items used in the camp. The only thing that hasn't been extinguished is the campfire, where a few chubby cooks are preparing breakfast, and cold, dry bread is baked by the fire, gradually turning brown and giving off an enticing aroma. There is a large pot on the campfire, and although you can't see what's in the pot, the sweet aroma of oats wafting in with the cold air makes you clearly appreciate the deliciousness of breakfast.

Then Catherine saw Pannis.

Pannis was very devastatingly squatting not far from the campfire, staring intently at the cooking utensils on the fire and the bread by the fire, his affectionate gaze was like staring at the pretty face of a lover, and he couldn't bear to look away for a moment.

"It was a wonderful morning. Catherine covered her eyes in despair, and passed by Pannisy as if she didn't know her, and went to wash, even when she saw Pannis beckoning to her with bread.

"Shame on you, Pannis. A heavy silver law book slapped on Pannis's head, Lina smiled charmingly, and naturally swung her waist around Pannis: "I think the eldest sister is about to talk to you again." ”

"But it tastes really good. The lethality of the foolish Pannith was very great, and at this time he took a few deep breaths and looked intoxicated: "The more you smell, the more hungry you are." Huh, what are you doing today...... Princess Helen?haha, aren't you afraid that Catherine will scold you?"

"That's right, it's a reward. Lina stroked her silver hair and slapped the law book on top of Pannis's head again: "Catherine just doesn't like her coming out in person, it's okay now." ”

"Lina, you're down, it's been a hard vigil. Catherine, who returned from washing, was stunned for a moment when she saw Lina's expression, and sure enough, she didn't say anything: "Go Vivien, wake up, it's probably not going to be very calm today." ”

"And you, Pannis. As soon as Lina turned around, Catherine grabbed Pannis, shook it vigorously and shouted in a low voice: "Can't you not be so ashamed, you see, several chefs are almost convulsive with laughter, even if you don't think about our dignity, you have to think about their health." It's already hard for them to prepare food for dozens of people along the way, why are you hurting them, why!"

"Haha, you guys have such a good relationship. Erlan walked slowly from the other side of the camp, and from a long distance he saw the harmonious interaction between the two: "It's the first time I've seen Miss Catherine's expression like this." ”

Catherine stiffened, let go of the hand holding Pannis's collar little by little in slow motion, squeezed out a weird smile, and turned back mechanically: "Haha, Captain Erlan, haha, you're already up, hahahaha." ”

Pannis, who had lost his support, squatted down weakly, his head still spinning with the frequency of the shaking just now: "I see, many, many, hey, hey, hey." ”

"You guy get me up. Catherine stomped on Pannis hatefully: "Don't make any more trouble." ”

"Yes, my Valkyrie-sama. The others didn't pay attention, and Pannis's blurted out answer made him stunned, but he quickly adjusted his mood, as if the person who had just seen the stars was not himself, and stood beside Catherine as usual and greeted Erlan: "Good morning, captain, last night was very good, and there was no danger." ”

"Actually, there is still a little bit of a situation. Erlan looked around to see if there was no one, lowered his voice and said, "There's one missing from the team?"

"Huh?" Both Pannis and Catherine were stunned for a moment, "It's strange, no one attacked at all last night." ”

"He should have gone on his own, you look at this, write it to you. Erlan took out a letter and handed it to Catherine, explaining: "The missing person is a female makeup artist in the wedding procession, who basically didn't get off the car along the way, that is, she didn't show up in front of a few of us at all, and if it wasn't for the people in the car with her who found out about this letter, I don't know that there was no one missing." ”

"What is the origin of this man?" Catherine took the envelope, looked at the words addressed to Captain Catherine and asked, "How did you get into the team?"

"The origin is a very famous makeup artist in Shengdu, and she has been asked to put on makeup in many performances. Erlan said: "It's normal to enter the team, when the city lord used other activities to gather the wedding team, she applied for it, and there was no doubt. ”

"It's nothing. Pannis said, "Even if there is doubt, it doesn't make sense now, what does the letter say?"

"You scared her away by flipping the table. Catherine smiled and handed over the letterhead: "Look at it, it's the only good news along the way." ”

"Well, then I see. Pannis unfolded the letterhead: "He's a smart man." ”

The letter was written very simply, with only one line: I consciously left, only personally.

"It's a little easier now, and you don't have to worry about someone designing death all day. Pannis exhaled, "That's good news." ”

"Wouldn't it be a deliberate attempt to let us let our guard down?" asked Erlan, who didn't know much about the rules of mercenaries and adventurers.

"This won't. Catherine explained: "In this case, it is not a war of life and death, but more of an ordinary competition. But if she announces her retirement and then regrets it, then no matter what counterattack we make against her, we will only get everyone's support. So don't worry, Captain, there's no need for her to do such a stupid thing. (To be continued.) )
