"Damn, it's been 2 days, why haven't you shown up yet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Listening to the complaints of his nearby teammates, Gio looked calm, and for him this little time did not exceed his expectations.

"The needle rat, a small magical beast that looks like a squirrel, has a cautious temperament, runs fast, is very sensitive to changes in the magic around the air itself, and never easily walks into an area that has not been active, but this time it appears here, there should be something special. ”

Geo thought to himself.

"What the hell is it? a threat, food, or something else. ”

"Food is unlikely, there is no appearance here of the wisteria, the companion plant of the iron tree that the needle rat likes. ”

"What the hell is it?"

Geo had some doubts in his mind.

"What are you thinking?"

Fran saw Geo crouching on the ground and asked him with some confusion.

"It's just a little strange why the needle rat is here, and I didn't find anything here that appealed to it. ”

"Tsk, have you found these problems, that's smart. ”

Fran smiled and picked up Geo.

"Do you know why?"

Looking at Fran who held him in his arms again, Geo looked helpless, he wanted to slip away, but it was obvious that he couldn't do it, so he could only resign himself to staying in Fran's arms, and it still felt good to stay in Fran's arms, ahem.

"Wren has already discovered this problem before, and although he has not found the reason for the presence of the Needle Rat here, Wren can confirm that it will appear here every once in a while, so don't worry. ”

That's true, but I'm always feeling a little uneasy. ”

"It's okay, I'll protect you. ”

“......”

Geo rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Don't worry. ”

Looking at Geo with a black line, Fran couldn't help but be happy.

"Fran, when do you think the needle rat will appear?"

"It's not good, just be patient, if there is any situation, someone will notify us. ”

"Well, now we can only wait, hopefully Wren can bring us good news. ”

"Well, I'll go see how it goes, maybe there's something to eat. ”

Fran turned and left.

"Don't Fran and Wren know why? ”

Geo thought and went over and over to check his surroundings, hoping to find something.

"Strange, there's nothing special about this place. ”

Although Geo didn't know what the situation was, the situation here was obviously beyond what was expected, and it stands to reason that this uncertain situation needs to be treated with caution, but the benefits of the needle rat are too tempting, which led everyone to decide to take the risk, and the main reason for taking the risk is because the danger of the needle rat is not too high.

"Profit is one of the main factors that make people lose their minds, I'm afraid they also know that there are risks, but the benefits obtained are large enough to decide to continue. ”

Thinking of this, Geo sighed.

"Anyway, make a few more preparations, just in case. ”

With that, Geo began to get to work.

"Stagnation Trap Scroll, Triggered Defensive Earth Wall Scroll, Magic Scroll with Wind Attribute Acceleration, Hmm... I'll see what else to prepare. ”

"Geo, what are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing, a couple of defensive spells. ”

"Why? Didn't I do a lot of this magic array?"

Fran looked confused.

"Uh... I'm setting myself up..."

“...... Why?"

"This operation made me feel a little uneasy, the situation of the needle rat is too strange......"

Fran was silent when she heard Geo's words.

“...... You're right, it's definitely not a bad thing to prepare more in uncertain situations. ”

“...... So why are you taking any risks?"

Although he knew the reason for everyone's choice, Geo couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not, when the gain is not proportional to the risk, but now the situation is the opposite, and the huge benefits make everyone make this choice. ”

Fran replied with a wry smile.

Although he already knew that this was the answer, Geo still felt a little uncomfortable, after all, the unknown often means risk, and he didn't know how big the risk was.

"Well, I hope I'm too careful. ”

Geo thought, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

"Okay, don't think about it, eat something and get some rest. ”

Fran kissed Geo on the cheek and drove him back.

After watching Gio fall asleep, Fran's face sank and she walked in the direction of Wren.

It was impossible for Fran, who could be noticed by Geo, not to know that it was all too abnormal.

"Wren, you should know the risks that may come with continuing, you know, if the needle rat is really driven out by other demonic beasts, it means that the risk will increase exponentially. ”

Fran said to Wren with a straight face.

"I know what that means, don't worry, I'm ready. ”

"You'd better do what you say, if something happens to Geo, you know the consequences. ”

After Fran finished speaking, he ignored Wren and turned to leave, and Wren could only smile helplessly.

Back at Geo's side, Fran looked sullen, and it was clear that Wren's words were not acceptable to Flan .

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you. ”

Fran looked at the sleeping Geo tenderly, and dropped a kiss on his forehead.

While Geo and the others were still waiting for their prey, in the other direction of the forest, a group of people in black robes entered the forest.

"Number 5, are things ready?"

"Well, don't worry, No. 3 has been put away. ”

"Okay, if this experiment can be successful, the relics must belong to us, hehe......"

From under the black robe, No. 3's somber laughter rang out.

"Alright, let's go. ”

"Got it, One, you're still so careful, even if you are discovered, you just need to silence it. ”

"Enough, you know that once you fail, no one can afford to fail!"

The 1st issued a warning.

"Cut, one day I'll replace you. “

Number 3 thought dryly.

In Geo's camp, Wren gathered everyone together.

"We've been waiting for seven days, but we haven't seen a single needle mouse's hair. ”

One of them complained.

"I know that even though there hasn't been a single needle rat yet, I trust my eyes and judgment, so I hope you will wait two days. ”

"But Wren, you also know that we need to earn an income to support ourselves, and you need to know that our relatives and children are waiting for us at home. ”

"I can understand that, but I hope you can wait two days. ”

"But I've been waiting for seven days, but I haven't ...... a single needle. ”

Without listening to everyone's arguments, Geo turned to leave, and Fran saw that Giou was gone, and followed him.

Sure enough, this time it was found that the activity of the needle rat was not normal. ”

Geo thought to himself.

"What's wrong?"

Fran asked, looking at Geo.

"It's nothing, why did you come out too?"

"Anyway, it won't be a result for a while. ”

Fran replied with a look of course.

"Anyway, you're also one of the members, is it really okay to just walk away like this?"

"Whatever. ”

Fran looked indifferent.

“.......”

Hearing this, Geo looked at Fran with a black line on his face.

"Fran, do you think everyone will go back?"

“...... No. ”

"Why? Didn't the needle rat show up?"

Looking at Geo with a serious face, Fran looked helpless.

"Geo, you know, a lot of things don't need to be done with certainty. “

“......”

Fran's words silenced Geo.

"Don't be cranky, let's go, wait for them to come to a conclusion, now eat first. ”

Without waiting for Geo to answer, Fu picked up Geo and walked to the tent.

"But Fran, I feel uneasy. ”

Geo, who was held in Fran's arms, said.

"It's okay, there are things to do, and they are on top, your task is to eat. ”

"But ......"

Before Gio could say anything, Fran gagged Gio's mouth with her mouth and stuck her tongue in his mouth.

"Tsk, Geo's kiss is very sweet, hehe~~, you have to eat seriously, otherwise I will kiss you~~"

“......”

Geo, who was in Fran's arms, looked sluggish and roared in his heart.

"Damn, I was forcibly kissed!"

Aware of the problem, Geo blushes like a monkey's ass.

Seeing Geo's reaction, Fran smiled happily.

"Captain!"

A member of the team rushed into Wren's tent from the outside.

"Panic what. ”

Wren glared at him.

"Needle...... The needle rat has appeared!"

"What!"

When the people in the tent heard the news, they stood up in shock.

"Really, I saw it!"

"Hahaha, that's great, it's finally there!"

Wren looked excited.

"All ready, all in place, quick!"

Without Wren's order, the people in the camp rushed out as fast as they could.

"What? Needle rats appeared?"

"Well, just heard the report, be careful. ”

Fran admonished with a worried expression.

"Well, I'll be careful. ”

Finally, after Geo and the others arrived at their respective positions, their target this time, the needle mouse, appeared in front of them.
