The midday sun scorched the roads of the capital of the Kema Empire, and the streets that should usually be crowded at this time were rarely populated in today's abnormal climate.

"Whew... Mikasa, did you find it over there?"

Next to a cold drink shop at the intersection, a sweaty Lu Jiu was half-bending her slender waist and sticking out her seductive tongue like a puppy. It seems that doing so will make her body feel a little faster.

The palms of the two hands pressed against the slightly curved knees, and the looming snow white under the neckline exuded an extremely deadly temptation. The sweat-soaked clothes clinged to the perfect body, outlining the perfect curves.

It's just that under the scorching sun, no one can appreciate this beautiful scenery.

Shaking his head in frustration, Mikasa straightened the black hair that was sticking to his cheeks because of sweat, and said regretfully, "I've found it all... Still, nothing was found. ”

"Don't worry, there's still an afternoon to spare. While comforting Mikasa and holding the latter's palm, Lu Jiu walked straight into the cold drink shop.

"Now let's eat something first, fill your stomach, and then have the strength to continue looking for your talisman in the afternoon, right?" wiped the small beads of sweat from Mikasa's forehead with his fingers, and under Mikasa's somewhat stunned expression, Lu Jiu smiled slightly, and said seriously: "Besides, today's sun is really too strange... Although Mikasa's strength won't cause heat stroke, he still feels hot. At this time, it's perfect to have a cold drink!"

"Hmm..."Pretty nodded with a flushed face, and Mikasa, who hadn't recovered from the action of Lu Jiu wiping her sweat just now, didn't even hear what Lu Jiu was saying, so she nodded her head subconsciously.

Due to his own background and his magical cultivation talent that can be called a demon, Mikasa's true friends are actually not more than five fingers. And he didn't dislike her stinky sweat at all. The person who directly used his hands to wipe her sweat did not appear again.

Faced with a strange sensation that he had never felt before, Mikasa's beating heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then jumped at a faster speed.

"I said, Mikasa-chan, you can't really get heat stroke, why are you so red? Do you still look a little dazed?"

As he spoke, he already stretched out his hand. Before Mikasa, whose body could keep up with her thoughts, could react, Lu Jiu's boneless palm had gently pressed against her forehead.

"I, that, I'm just a little allergic to, the strong sunlight, and after a while, it'll be fine. "In a panic. Mikasa casually pulled out an excuse that ordinary people wouldn't believe at all. And he himself regretted it immediately after this sentence came out.

If it were in normal times, with Mikasa's calm personality, he would never say such a thing... But Mikasa didn't know why. When facing Lu Jiu, she directly left behind the calmness that even the Pope was full of praise.

But... It really made Mikasa feel incredible. But it's not this gaffe of his own. But after telling the lie that even children don't necessarily believe, Lu Jiu nodded seriously without saying a word, and muttered righteously, "Allergic to strong sunlight... That's not going to be easy...".

Moved to look at Lu Jiu, who was thinking about how to help herself solve this allergy problem that didn't exist at all. A strong desire to protect suddenly came out of Mikasa's heart.

Mikasa didn't want anyone and would never allow anyone to hurt her.

Lu Jiu, who has only known himself for less than twenty-four hours, has given such a great help and this warm feeling, and unconsciously occupies an extremely important place in Mikasa's heart.

"Mikasa-chan?" gave a strange glance at Mikasa, who was staring straight at him, and Rujiu's palm shook vigorously in front of the latter's eyes.

"Ahh Then Mikasa withdrew his eyes in embarrassment. To be honest, it's a bit rude to keep staring at others like she just did. But fortunately, Lu Jiu didn't seem to care much about these strange etiquette that were dispensable.

"I'm sorry... I'm particularly prone to wandering today. ”

Awkwardly, he lowered his head and hid behind the menu in his hand. Mikasa didn't want Rujiu to see her embarrassed expression.

"Hey, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" Looking curiously at Mikasa, who had hidden himself like a mole, Lu Jiu suddenly thought of something. Then he suddenly took away the menu that Mikasa used to cover his face.

"Mikasa-chan, you read the menu in the wrong direction! It seems that your mental state is really a little bad..."

Mikasa, who was almost not frightened by Rujiu's actions, was also greatly relieved after hearing Rujiu's words. Unexpectedly, Lu Jiu's mistake could actually help her make this strange lie come true...

Flicking her golden hair, Lu Jiu stuffed the right-headed menu back into Mikasa's hand and said, "At this time. Eat something iced and you'll be able to stimulate Mikasa's tired nerves!, so hurry up and order!"

"Ding-dong..."Just after Rujiu and Mikasa chose what they wanted to eat. While patiently waiting for the delicious cold drink, the door of the cold drink shop was pushed in from the outside. The wind chimes above the gate also shook because of this.

A man and a woman in the same uniform chose a corner seat and sat down after glancing at Lu Jiu, who was sitting again.

Impatiently, fanning his cheeks with his hand, the young man, who was as short as a monkey, asked softly and dissatisfiedly:

"I said Dinah, can we really find a clue to the seed like this?"

And at the same time as the man said this, a bright light flashed in the eyes of Lu Jiu and Mikasa at the same time.

Although the man's voice was extremely soft, it still reached the ears of Rujiu and Mikasa.

"Don't worry, that Waste Wood Emperor, there is no need to lie to us. Moreover, he did not have the guts to play tricks on us. Furthermore, don't say these things in public in the future. lest the walls have ears. I'm right, two friends over there. ”
