"Do you think that in the case of the first meeting, we should tell you all the information we have?"

Lucy frowned, as the captain, she didn't like it when someone teased her team like that, even if the other party was just a child.

"At the very least, you should exchange information with us. ”

"Isn't it fair that you told us that we are at war between the two sides, and that we told you the identities of the two warring parties?"

"Hmm......"

Lucy's brow twitched a little as she looked at Cheruth.

"You're a bit of a bad personality, and you're going to give your parents a headache. ”

As soon as the words came out, Lucy suddenly felt a cold gaze that made her heart palpitate, and intuitively she looked at the big bad wolf lying next to the two girls opposite, and there was an inexplicable anger towards her in those dark green eyes.

Sekaria also glared fiercely at the unbridled mercenary girl, and took Cheruth's hand with some concern, who immediately smiled at her, and then reached out and touched Gray Wind's back.

How glassy do you think I am?

In essence, Cheruth thought helplessly.

"Thanks for the compliment...... Unfortunately, I was an orphan since I was a child, and the person who adopted me was a gentle and amiable person, so I can understand my bad personality. ”

Lucy looked at Cheruth, who was talking about these things indifferently, and she was not bad in nature, and she immediately realized that she had just said something.

“...... Sorry, I didn't mean that. ”

"I know, I know," Cheruth said understandingly, "this kind of thing happens often, every time I just want to communicate about the friendship between teammates, I end up beating someone up before I know it." ”

Natsu, who had been a little relaxed after seeing the two sides reconcile, suddenly shuddered.

"Oh, you know it very well, it's just, oops, I can't bear it. ”

Hold back for me...... Natsu looked at his eldest sister with resentful eyes.

"Speaking of which, I'm too, every time I just want to wear some clothes and go out, I end up wearing a little too much before I know it. ”

No, you're not a little too much, Gray-kun.

“...... Hmph, the team that will hold me back every time can't do without it. ”

Elusa-san, you're just tsundere......

"Love~ Even I can't help but say 'love'~"

Natsu covers her face.

"Sao Nian, come on, it seems that after all the personalities are reversed, you are already an indispensable spit service for the entire team. 」

Cheruth, who didn't know when she appeared next to Natsu, patted him on the shoulder very understandingly.

"Big husband, Sao Nian, you just have to pray that your story is a moe light novel instead of a shonen JUMP series. ”

"Uh, why? And the boy who is cute or something, what are they?"

"Because in the cute light novels, the people who complain are generally the protagonists of the Crystal Palace, and the people in charge of the spit service in the juvenile JUMP are generally the public face glasses otaku who are the glasses are the body.。 ”

“............”

Natsu, who is 16 years old this year, looked at Cheruth, who was about four years younger than herself, ah, it turns out that the three-year-old generation ditch that I had heard before is true, although the other party showed a natural look, but he completely understood what the child was saying.

Cheruth didn't expect Natsu to understand her meme, and a small face nodded to Natsu, whose mouth twitched, as a funny look, before turning to face the Demon Tail everyone.

"Ahem, then, that's the end of the joke. ”

Who started it just now...... The crowd looked at her with disdain.

“...... Why, what, aren't you going to crooked the building too!"

Lu: ←_←

Grid: ←_←

Ai: →_→

Ha: →_→

Na: ............=_=||

This time, even Greywind gave Natsu a sympathetic look.

"Chee, Cheruth," Sekaria said hurriedly, seeing that she was going off topic again, "what do you want to say?"

Cheruth coughed again.

"Well, in this case, first of all, let me confirm the purpose of your team coming to the forest?"

"The tail of the lightning ape. ”

"Lightning ape," Cheruth nodded, "It's not weak in high-level magical beasts, and there's no other way to get the tail than to kill it, so your strength is not weak."

"Of course," Lucy smirked at her partner, "Although we're only a small mercenary guild now, the members are not weak. ”

Hawkers,As the protagonist of the hot-blooded comic in another world, if your strength is too poor, then you can't say it.。

"So, are you interested in taking on a new mission?"

"Cheruth, you mean?"

Sekaria pulled Cheruth's clothes, she felt that Cheruth's decision was a bit hasty, no matter how she said it, she was also a person who met in Pingshui, not to mention the strength, even if the other party seemed to be some good people now, it didn't mean that she could fully trust them.

Lucy and the others exchanged glances with each other.

"You mean, you want to make a personal commission with us?"

Gray asked questions on behalf of the squad.

"That's right, and as you can guess, our commission has to do with the two large mercenary groups that are fighting, and I'll tell you all the information we have now in order to complete the mission, but because we don't have all the information, the difficulty and danger of this mission are actually unknown. ”

Whether it is Silver Wing or this black tiger mercenary group that suddenly appeared and can compete with Silver Wing, it is not something that Lucy and her small guild can afford to provoke, not to mention that this kind of information is not completely unreliable mission, Lucy immediately wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Gray.

“...... Can you tell me, how much do you get paid?"

Cheruth smiled and pulled out of her pocket what she had used to activate her copying abilities.

"These three things are the same, and there is ......"

Cerus winked at Sekaria beside her, and Sekaria, who understood it, nodded and spoke solemnly.

“...... Also, the Kingdom of Loris can fulfill each of you a request as a reward, although it can't be excessive, but if it's the level of one title per person, it's no problem. ”

The four-member team, who had been attracted by the three items in Cheruth's hand, was taken aback.

"One request per person? The Loris Kingdom, which is known for its most cutting-edge magic technology on the mainland?"

Lucy asked in surprise, in the squad, Lucy and Elusa are both members who rely heavily on magic guides to fight, if they can strengthen their magic weapons to the best level in the continent, then the strength of both of them will increase by more than one notch.

Like Lucy, Elusa has been silent, and Gray and Natsu, who don't rely much on magicians, are also surprised, Natsu, who is a fire magician, knows how pure the fire element is contained in the fiery red feather in Cheruth's hand, and Gray is secretly puzzled by the true identity of Sekaria, who can make promises on behalf of the royal family of a kingdom without changing his face.

Why did the battle between the two mercenary groups involve the royal family of the Demon Guiding Kingdom, one of the six major forces on the mainland?

"How's that?" said Chelus, a cute little face that made Lucy and the others feel like they were seeing an experienced merchant who showed the goods waiting to be sold, "Now, would you like to know more about my assignment, everybody?"

"Cheruth, thank you for helping me like this. ”

At midnight, as the group was being led through the forest by the grey wind, under the cover of night, Sekaria whispered to Cheruth.

"Uh, it's okay, those things are readily available to me. ”

"It's not this, it's to help us do such a dangerous thing......"

“...... Hawkers, I'm also thinking about myself, after all, you also know my situation, there is no way to get out of the forest openly, so if Leah really becomes a princess of a country, don't I have a backer outside the forest? ”

To tell the truth, although they won the battle with Little, and they were injured and finally recovered well thanks to the ability of the old tree, this made Cheruth feel shocked again.

He is still very weak, and even with this magical replication ability, it is not enough to make up for the gap between himself and these people in the other world who lick blood on the tip of the knife every day in the real battle...... And in the future, maybe you will face such an enemy.

This rebirth made Chelus feel the unpredictable power that can be called fate above all else, and the extinction of the Nolan clan made her feel an inexplicable sense of crisis even unconsciously. No one can say what the future holds, but if a crisis does come and you don't have the strength to protect yourself and those around you, it will be a painful thing.

In short, not to mention the others, the largest sect on the continent has always regarded itself as a thorn in the side of the Nolan clan to some extent, although it is not a long-term solution to hide his identity all the time, but before he has the strength to face the Holy See, he must at least have an identity that can move freely outside......

As for choosing Sekaria's father, the eldest prince, or choosing the second prince behind the Black Tiger Mercenary Group...... Chelus can only say that the cute girl is justice.

"Although that's the way it ......"

After listening to what Cerus said, Sekaria was only comforting herself and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Cerus.

"And Leah, if you really want to say thank you, you might as well thank them, after all, they are the real irrelevance. ”

Cheruth said, gesturing to the mercenary squad that was silently following behind Grey Wind.

In fact, when Cheruth herself made that commission, she was not absolutely sure that the other party would agree, because although it seemed that the reward was very good, once an ordinary person decided to get involved in something related to the royal family of a country, the risk factor was definitely higher than expected.

Of course, Cheruth and them didn't talk to death, after briefly explaining the cause and effect of the incident, Cheruth gave them the commission to lead them to find the battle location of the two mercenary groups to get the three things that Cheruth took out, and if they can help Cheruth and them in the next operation, then Sekaria will fulfill her promise to give them a reward on behalf of the royal family.

And for the sake of insurance, Cheruth did not reveal Sekaria's true identity, but claimed that both of them were disciples of the sage Master Hailan, who accompanied the team to protect the grandson of the Emperor of Lloris, and was exiled because they were separated from the large army in the battle.

Because Cheruth is now copying the ability of the old tree, so she does not have wolf ears and wolf tails but the posture of a long-haired human loli, and Lucy and the others did not doubt it much.

A fourteen-year-old three-star magician, and a girl who is even younger and has the strength to be able to teach such a student, except for the few seven-star sages on the mainland, no one else can do it.

Sekaria nodded, agreeing with Chelus's statement, and decided that if she really managed to rescue her brother and escape this time, she must thank Lucy and them.
