Chapter 20: Astral Grass

"What do you want to do so much, the Mino I know is not the kind of person who will give up easily. Patting Mino on the shoulder, Yeren said very heartily, "At the beginning, Mino, who had just begun to cultivate his fighting spirit and practiced himself like a dead dog every day, would never say such frustrating words." ”

Listening to Yeren's words, Mino remembered his experience when he was a child, in order to make way for his sister, he forcibly trained from a weak mage apprentice to an excellent warrior, and the suffering was not something ordinary people could understand.

"Yes, it's not time to give up, as long as the real culprit exists, there will always be a time to be found. After a short period of confusion, Minow, who had rekindled his fighting spirit, looked at the sky and sighed loudly, "But it must not be today, it's so late, it's better to go back to dinner." ”

"That's right, I've been running with Minoan for a day, I'm hungry, let's go back to eat together. ”

With that, Yeren prepared to go home as usual, but after walking for a while, he saw that Mino was still standing in place and did not move.

"Why? Aren't you hungry, Mino?"

Facing Yeren's question, Mino touched his stomach and rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Of course I'm hungry, I'm not a golem, how can I not be hungry after a tiring day." ”

"Then you still ............"

Before Yaren could say anything, Mino shook his head and interrupted him.

"Yeren, you kid really don't have anything missing in his mind? You know, it's not in the village now, how can I go to your house to eat at will, and why should I bring some gifts for the first time, it's very troublesome, okay? ”

Listening to Mino's words, the doubt on Yeren's face disappeared, and was replaced by silence, because he knew that Mino was actually very reasonable, especially when Mino and Hank were not very familiar with each other, after all, some etiquette was still necessary.

"I'm so hungry now, I don't have the heart to get those, and Sister Yelai isn't here, I remember Uncle Hank is still single, I don't believe any of you two will make good food, so I'd better visit tomorrow." ”

In this way, after the two made an agreement to see each other tomorrow, they parted ways.

After a simple dinner, Minow, who had been busy all day, lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling overhead, recalling the information related to the four Puke in his head, and was silently distracted.

Although they have a bad character and like to oppress the weak, they have never really done anything that is really angry and resentful, so there are many people who have grudges against them, and there are almost no people who really want to make a move.

Especially after a day of investigation, Mino can be sure that those who have a grudge against Puke and others on the surface are not murderers, so the question is, how did Puke and others be killed?

Vendetta kills love kills interests, the latter two can basically be ruled out, and the former has the precondition that you must have a grudge with these four people at the same time, it can be said that except for Mino and Jesse, the two of whom suffered a big loss in their hands, there is really no more, but the two of them are not murderers, and Mino really doesn't know what to do next.

Could it be just a simple accident? But what kind of accident could make four second-level warriors die in the royal capital without even their bodies?

Mino tossed and turned in bed and meditated, but he didn't have a clue, and finally fell asleep unconsciously.

The next morning, when Mino was still lying in bed because he had slept late last night, his door was suddenly slammed, and then before he could respond when he had just woken up, Jesse rushed in with excitement on his face.

"Get up, Mino, a big beautiful woman has come looking for you, and she has been waiting for you outside for a long time, and she is still sleeping. Jesse, who rushed through the door, dragged Mino off the bed with a tone of hatred.

"What a big beauty, Jesse, haven't you woken up yet, wash your face and sober up. Pushing away Jesse, who was holding him excitedly, Mino, who was still a little confused, was getting dressed and muttering to himself disapprovingly, "It's just time to get up, I haven't done my morning exercise yet." ”

"Really, Mino, if I had dreamed, the girl would never have come to you. The anxious Jesse tried to argue, but as he spoke, he couldn't help but get drunk with his hands on his chest, looking like an idiot who hadn't seen a woman for more than ten years, "And it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl, with long blue and purple hair and a soft smile............"

Before Jesse finished describing, Mino reacted instantly, and his still somewhat confused head instantly sobered up, and when he thought that Yelai actually took the initiative to come to find him, he couldn't care much about it, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out in a hurry, leaving Jesse who was drunk alone in the room.

Yelai, who was dressed in a blue dress, stood on the grass, her eyes were calm with a little expectation, and the corners of her mouth curved into a shallow soft arc, like a slim and independent blue lily, gentle and soft, but beautiful and moving.

When he saw Mino's figure appear in the field of vision, the smile on Yelai's face suddenly bloomed, causing a student not far away to lose his mind for a moment, and accidentally tripped over an obvious small pebble, and fell to the ground in a humiliating way.

"Sister Yelai, I'm really sorry, I obviously said that I would go to see your ............ early in the morning"

Standing in front of Yelai, the panting Mino couldn't stop saying sorry, and the thought of missing the appointment because he had overslept was a touch of red stained his cheeks.

"It's okay, in fact, you only slept a little longer than usual, it's just that I just broke through yesterday and have a lot of energy, so I got up early. ”

While sorting out Mino's somewhat messy collar, Yelai comforted softly, as if the person who had been waiting outside for nearly an hour was not her, which made Mino more and more ashamed.

I got up late, and I was reunited with Sister Yelai after a long absence, so Mino could only give up the morning exercise, and after a quick wash, he took Yelai shopping.

It is said that Mino took Yelai shopping, but Yelai, who had already come to Cui Lan, was undoubtedly much more familiar with this place than Mino, who had not even been out of the school gate twice since he came, and it was naturally this girl who really guided the direction.

It's just that the girl always takes into account the boy's possible self-esteem, cautiously guides Mino quietly with various words, and always pays attention to being half a step behind Mino, making people feel as if Mino is taking her around, even if Mino doesn't mind these boring things.

This is Yelai, a girl who is extremely gentle with Mino.

Although Yelai is three years older than Mino, but because of Mino's diligent exercise, his height is actually not lower than Yelai, and many previous experiences have completely faded the childishness on his face, and he looks much more mature.

Listening to Yelai beside him with that familiar soft voice, carefully telling all kinds of interesting stories about Cui Lan, Mino inadvertently turned his head sideways, watching Yelai's delicate side face glow with a faint luster in the sun, and couldn't help but recall the original scene.

It was the same scene as today, Mino, who was in Houston for the first time, excitedly talked about some of his hearsay to everyone who had been here before.

Despite knowing how ridiculous Mino's words were, Yelai seemed to understand nothing, and kept lamenting Mino's erudition, which greatly satisfied Mino's self-esteem, and he didn't know the real situation.

It wasn't until the outspoken Lana couldn't hold back anymore and asked Yelai why she didn't tell Mino about the mistakes in what she said, that Mino realized that in fact, Sister Yelai knew everything, and she only deliberately cooperated to make herself happy.

It was at that time that the ignorant Mino looked at Yelai's blushing face under Lana's questioning, and for the first time vaguely realized that Sister Yelai's affection for him was not just the feelings between ordinary playmates.

Driven by the old memories pouring out of his heart, he was greeted by an irrepressible feeling, and Mino, who couldn't help but reach out and take Yelai's hand.

Feeling her hand being held, Yelai, who was watching a sculpture tell its history, turned her head and smiled sweetly at Mino, just as she had done to Mino, just as she had done to Mino.

Seeing Yelai's smile, Mino subconsciously tightened his right hand that held Yelai's little hand, and returned a slightly shy smile.

After that, the two of them went shopping as before, and there was no change from before, calm and calm, not at all like the men and women who held hands for the first time.

Except for the intense crimson on his face, which was never separated from the hands he was holding.

Since Yelai had just broken through to a first-level mage, and the spiritual power realm had not yet been completely stabilized, although Mino didn't say anything about cultivation, he took Yelai straight to the market selling magic herbs.

The same herbs that are good for stabilizing mental power were bought by Mino, and at this time, Mino was really grateful to Kaguya and Chelsea who gave him a magic card, if it weren't for their assistance, Mino might not even be able to eat now, and there were still gold coins to buy these magic herbs at a high price to give to Sister Yelai.

Watching Mino carefully select herbs for herself, Yelai's heart was sweet, like drinking honey, and she couldn't help but indulge in this sweet feeling.

"It's actually Star Destiny Grass, Sister Yelai, you are really my goddess of luck!"

Just when Yelai was immersed in the unknown sweetness and was in a trance, she suddenly felt someone hug her violently, and before she could react, Mino's self-suppressed excited voice sounded in her ears.

"Is the Astral Herb a particularly precious herb? ”

Although Mino's tight embrace and the heat in her ears made Yelai very shy, she knew that now was not the time for her to show her shyness, so she forced her composure and followed Mino's words as usual.
