Chapter 4 Useless Explanations
Chapter 4 Useless Explanations
Although there are a total of eight carriages, due to the change of identity, Mino cannot hide in the carriage and use the time of travel to practice magic like when he traveled to Houston City from Tarsie Town before, after all, as a subordinate, even if it is only temporary, it is impossible to have the same right to sit in the carriage and be lazy as his master.
So Mino consciously followed behind the carriage with the night of Penglai Mountain, and from time to time reported some of the experiences and current situations of the journey to his employer, just like a servant should do.
Because he had just left Houston City, half a day passed quickly, and there was no special situation, not even a passing beast, so Mino, who had never fought since he was promoted to the second level, was quite unhappy, but thinking that even if there was a beast infested, he would not hand it over to his lowest-ranking servant to deal with, and Mino was relieved.
"Hey, Evan, can you come over for a moment, I have something I want to talk to you about. ”
When it was time for the lunch break, Mino brought a pot of tea and a plate of fruit snacks to Penglai Mountain Kaguya, and then dragged Evan to a corner to explain the plan.
"Little one, what are you looking for me for, you know, I'm not as laid-back as you, and I don't have so much time to listen to your nonsense. ”
Standing in front of Mino, Evan said impatiently, but there was not much unkindness in his words, it can be seen that after the peak of the fire of jealousy has passed, Evan probably realized that his jealousy of Mino is unwise, such a performance makes Mino can't help but feel happy, and adds a little confidence in his next success.
"Evan, I just want to make it clear to you, I don't know why Lord Penglai Mountain is different from me, but I'm just a passerby, I will leave when I get to the royal capital, maybe there will never be a chance to meet again in the future, you don't have to worry that I will rob your adult, so let's get along happily during this journey before arriving at the royal capital." ”
"It's just that you, a little cub who doesn't have any hair, still want to snatch our Kaguya-hime, it's too wishful thinking. ”
Evan was dismissive of Mino's statement, and his tone was very unkind, but Mino didn't care about this, anyway, he just hoped that he could spend more than a month easily.
"But what you kid said is really reasonable, you are the person that adults fancie, just for the sake of adults, I'll let you go, but don't get an inch, otherwise let you taste how hard my Lord Evan's fists are." ”
Although Evan's words were already very polite, Mino understood that Evan had decided to let himself go, I am afraid that in the eyes of this guy who has a crush on his master, he who is not strong and has not been in existence for a long time can no longer threaten his serious position in Penglai Mountain Huiye, so it is better to let himself go.
Evan's performance made Mino feel ridiculous, not to mention whether a woman like Penglai Mountain Kaguya would have the will to succumb to a man's crotch, just Evan actually thought that he would have a status in Penglai Mountain Kaguya's heart, which was enough to make people laugh off their big teeth.
In Mino's opinion, Penglai Shan Kaguya treats Evan exactly like an ordinary slave, looking at the almost indifferent calm in Penglai Shan Kaguya's eyes when he is alone, Mino believes that if it does not affect her life, maybe even if the news of Evan's death reaches her ears, Penglai Shan Kaguya's brows will not wrinkle.
But none of this has anything to do with Mino, as he himself said, he is just a passerby, and he will leave when he arrives in the royal capital, so there is no need to get involved in these unnecessary things for him.
However, the course of events is never diverted by the thoughts of one person, and Mino's actions are destined to be in vain.
In the afternoon of the same day, when Mino was walking behind the convoy as in the morning while sorting out the magic knowledge in his head, he was suddenly recruited into the carriage by Penglai Mountain Kaguya.
Walking into the carriage that was obviously enlarged by the space array, Mino stood in the corner respectfully, watching Penglai Shan Huiye look at the books by himself, and ignored himself for a long time, after all, the young man's heart was not calm enough, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.
"Lord Penglai Mountain, I don't know what you have to tell me. ”
"Xiao Nuo, you finally spoke, the concubine thought that you would be like those boring guys, as long as the concubine didn't open her mouth, she would keep standing there in a daze. Putting down the scroll in his hand, Penglai Shan Kazuya covered his mouth and chuckled.
Hearing the words of Penglai Mountain Kaguya, Mino's head was full of black lines, and he couldn't help but ask: "Then if I don't open my mouth all the time, what will Lord Penglai Mountain do?"
"Don't call people Lord Penglai Mountain, how bad it is, just call the concubine Huiye. Cordially beckoning Mino to sit down, Penglai Mountain Kazuya said with a dark belly, "If Mino doesn't speak, then it's better to stand there all the time, anyway, it's not me standing." ”
"Kaguya-sama, you're really a bad taste. Covering his forehead, Mino sighed with great joy.
"Okay, okay, don't tease you, the concubine just wants to know what Mi Nuo is doing in the royal capital, after all, the little guys who have inherited the name of the brave over the past generations are almost the kind of people who don't become legends and don't go out, it's really rare to be rescued from the second level like Xiao Nuo, and the concubine is very curious about the purpose of your trip." ”
"Your Excellency, you say...... What do you say, I, I don't understand what you mean? ”
Kaguya's words were so shocking to Mino that he couldn't even speak, and his face was flushed, and he even had the urge to run away.
"It's not clear enough, do you really think that the concubine body is so lonely and unheard, and you can't even recognize the legendary Excalibur Meteor that shattered the stars, Lord Mino, the star brave of this generation. ”
The corners of his mouth hooked a mysterious smile, Kaguya's eyes narrowed slightly, like a cunning fox who stole a chicken and was snickering in the shadows, and the gaze that did not shy away from looking at himself was like a searchlight, making Mino feel as if he was standing naked in front of Kaguya of Penglai Mountain, and everything was seen through by the other party.
Looking at Mino, who was sweating profusely and didn't know how to answer, Kaguya clutched his stomach and laughed, and barely stopped for a while.
"Little guy, what's the matter with you, being recognized by someone is actually nervous like this, as if you are a wanted criminal who has been recognized, could it be that this sword was snatched by you from someone else, and the real Star Warrior has been killed by you. ”
"No! Of course the meteorite is my own, I'm just ...... It's just that I've never heard of any star bravery, and I feel like a brave man or something, it's just that Aunt Kasha made it up to comfort me. Seeing that the family heirloom treasure was actually believed to be the proceeds of murder and robbery, Mino hurriedly explained.
"Okay, okay, don't be nervous, little guy, although I haven't seen it for a long time, I still know Xingchen's sword skills, and the concubine is just joking with you. ”
Seeing that Kaguya's expression didn't seem to be fake, Mino's heart finally fell back when he mentioned his throat, and wiped the cold sweat on his head, and Mino felt that his back had been soaked with sweat.
"In that case, what do Kaguya-sama have to tell me about? "It's too much pressure to chat with Kaguya in Penglai Mountain, and Mino just wants to get the character here here and leave here right away.
"Eh, don't be so boring, people recruit a servant just to find someone to relieve the boredom of the concubine, I didn't expect to meet the old man just after, but I think Xiao Nuo should not be a person who refuses to work because of a good relationship. “
After saying that, Kaguya looked at Mino pitifully, like a newborn beast thirsty for food, and it was impossible to refuse.
In the face of such a bright night, Mino actually had the urge to say everything, as long as he could make the girl in front of him show his face, even if he went to the soup and died.
Fortunately, at this moment, a cold welled up from his heart, so that Mino's thoughts calmed down again, Mino carefully perceived his body in fear, and unexpectedly found no traces of the use of magic, looking up at the eyes of Penglai Mountain Kaguya, who seemed to be smiling, Mino suddenly felt a little weak for some reason, and quickly lowered his head slightly, avoiding Kaguya's gaze.
Seeing that Mino was able to keep a clear head in the face of the charm she took the initiative to exude, Kaguya couldn't help but be a little angry, but when she saw the faint starlight in Mino's eyes, suddenly the fox-like smile reappeared on her face.
Of course, even if he resists Kaguya's charm, it doesn't mean that Mino can refuse Kaguya's request.
He talked in detail about the undead disaster that happened in Tarsi Town, but in the last part because it involved his mother, Mino couldn't help but be a little less rigorous, and in the face of Kaguya, a person who seemed to know a lot about his own inheritance, Mino was embarrassed to say his true thoughts about his almost self-destructive future, and could only vaguely say that he went to the royal capital to study in order to gain a boost in strength.
Naturally, such a statement of sharpening the spring and autumn could not satisfy Kaguya, but I don't know why, Kaguya didn't use magic to make Mino tell the truth like in the previous interview, but let Mino leave, which made Mino quite grateful for this, after all, although he had made up his mind, he actually wanted to give up a bright future and insist on embarking on a road with an uncertain future, Mino really couldn't say it.
Walking out of Kaguya's carriage, Mino felt a lot more relaxed, but before he could show a smile, he saw Evan with red eyes on the side looking at him hostilely, Mino couldn't help but smile bitterly, the previous efforts were in vain, and now Evan is probably planning to fight with him.
