073 I—I'm not interested in boys!
It was a man and a woman in the corner of the bar.
The woman is the female clerk who has just led the way for the Loki family and picked up Rieg and others, Xi'er.
She was standing next to a guest, talking to the other party, while looking sneakily at this side, looking at Rieger, until she noticed Rieger's gaze, she blushed slightly, lowered her head embarrassedly, and felt like a shy little girl who peeked at the boy she had a crush on was discovered.
And the boy who was talking to Xi'er was looking at Li Ge with envy, admiration, and yearning.
With white hair, red eyes, and a slightly childish face, he is about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he gives a harmless feeling to a little boy overall.
That boy, Rieger knew.
On the day of the Loki Clan's expedition, the boy also cast the same eyes at himself and others in the crowd as at this moment.
"Is he here too?"
Li Ge muttered secretly in his heart, and quickly recalled the plot of the original book in his mind.
I still remember that in the original book, when the Loki clan returned from the expedition, they alarmed a group of Minotaurs living on the 17th floor, and this group of minotaurs, classified as Lv.2, fled all the way to the 5th floor, and finally one of them targeted this little boy, or Ace came to the rescue, and this little boy did not break in a place like the 5th floor.
But perhaps because of their own existence, the expedition of the Loki clan is a little different from the original book in terms of time and others, although the group of worm monsters mentioned in the original book still appeared, but when the expedition returned, the Loki clan did not encounter the group of Minotaurs that should have appeared on the 17th floor, nor did they alarm them, so that they scattered and fled, or even fled to other floors.
Result –
"We didn't meet in the dungeon, but we met here."
To tell the truth, Li Ge really wanted to go forward and get to know each other well.
After all, as far as he knew, this was the only person in this world who could fight for growth and potential with himself.
The other party is very weak now, and Li Ge can see it at a glance, it should be not long after receiving the favor, a proper Lv.1 newcomer.
However, give him three months, and perhaps, the other party can also come to his current position.
Even if the plot of some original books has changed, Li Ge does not think that this can affect the growth of the other party.
It was originally a hero hatchling with infinite potential, and as long as there was an opportunity, that potential would explode.
And that opportunity can be anything.
At least, seeing the faint yearning in the other party's eyes, Li Ge had a feeling.
This person will definitely go to his side.
"It's a pity ....."
Rig withdrew his gaze.
He couldn't pass.
Because, there is someone next to the other party.
Moreover, he is still a person that Li Ge does not want to touch for the time being, and does not want to touch.
"Mr. Rigg?"
While Rig was thinking about such a thing, next to him, the soft voice of the elf girl woke him up.
"What are you looking at?"
Refia glanced suspiciously in the direction Rig had just looked.
Ace also glanced in that direction, and happened to meet Xi'er's eyes, watching the other party smile at herself, and she also nodded back a little awkwardly.
"Nothing." Li Ge retracted his mixed thoughts, took his wine glass, and said with a smile as he drank: "I just happened to see an interesting person." ”
"Interesting people?" Refiachi said, "Who? ”
"A little boy." Rieger said to Refia, "If you are interested, I will introduce you to you next time." ”
Rieger just said these things casually.
However, Refia's reaction was much bigger than Rieger had imagined.
"I—I'm not interested in boys!"
Seeing that, Refia suddenly panicked and shouted without thinking.
As soon as this voice came out, the audience was silent.
"Huh?"
Refia was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted to what a terrible thing she had said.
Everyone present, including the people at the next table, stared at Refia with an unusually strange expression.
"I say, Refia." Tione looked at Refia as if she was looking at a warrior, and said, "This kind of thing, it's good to talk about it in private, why do you shout it out in public?" ”
"Is Refia really like that?" Theona blinked and laughed, "I just don't think you're looking at Ace right." ”
"Look at me?" Ace looked dazed.
"Refia ....." Riveria half-narrowed her eyes, looking at her lover's gaze filled with a terrifying cold light.
As for Finn and Grace, they seem to be pretending not to hear.
The rest of the people too, some looked at Refia with mockery in their eyes, and some pretended not to hear.
In the end, Loki, who was already a little drunk, laughed out loud while holding a wine glass in one hand.
"That's bold, Refia, but you're right, who likes boys, if you want to like cute and beautiful girls!"
It's a fatal blow!
"It's not..... I..... No.....!? ”
Refia's mouth opened and closed, like a goldfish on the shore, panicked and wanted to explain something, but she was completely speechless in a panic.
Especially when this elf girl saw Lig, who suddenly fell silent, embarrassed and afraid to speak, and Ace, who was still confused and didn't know what was going on......
".....Uhh Woo-ah-ah-ah.....! ”
Refia burst into tears.
"Refia!?"
"Where are you going!?"
"Come back soon!"
Everyone exclaimed one after another.
Even Rig and Ace couldn't sit still, and seeing Refia crying as she prepared to run out of the tavern, the two hurriedly chased after each other.
After that, there was a flurry of chickens and dogs.
In order to catch the elf girl who fled in shame and almost jumped into the river, everyone can be said to have spent a lot of effort.
"Please let me disappear! Disappear into this world! ”
The shouts of the elf girls appeared in all corners of the area, causing quite a commotion.
"Hahahaha....."
The people in the tavern were still looking at the people of the Loki clan with awe, but after seeing this farce, they all laughed one by one.
"Humph!"
The sturdy female shopkeeper whom Loki called Miya's mother was also watching the farce, snorting twice, but with a smile on her face.
The clerks all stepped forward to help, making the whole tavern happy, and even the members of the family who were in the open-air seats were involved.
"Oops, it's a big commotion."
Ciel was still standing in the corner of the bar, smiling and groaning.
The white-haired little boy sitting in the seat next to Xi'er had more envy and yearning in his eyes.
"Is this the Loki family?"
The white-haired boy opened a pair of red eyes and stared at the people of the Loki clan who were in a mess, as if he was looking at something dazzling.
"Does Mr. Bell like the Loki family?"
Seeing the other party's performance, Xi'er asked with some interest.
"I—I'm just more envious of that kind of family atmosphere."
The white-haired boy known as Bell was a little embarrassed.
It's just that he still stared at the noisy Loki clan and said so.
"Because I'm the only one in my family, I'm longing for it."
"I yearn for the feeling of everyone having fun and adventuring together."
"That's probably where the heroes are, right?"
In the eyes of the young man named Bell, the color of yearning became more and more intense.
"Sooner or later, I'll have to ..... too"
The white-haired little boy is in the corner of an unknown tavern, silently making wishes that no one believes, but can affect the future.
And only Ciel saw this scene.
Ciel stared at Bell, her eyes full of strangeness and fascination that no one else could detect.
This strangeness and fascination did not disappear when Ciel turned to the side of the Loki family.
The young and beautiful female clerk stared at one of the Loki clansmen, and the corners of her mouth rose imperceptibly.
......
A drinking banquet lasted until late at night before it was declared over.
The guests in the tavern were almost gone, and only a few drunks were left who were asleep on the table.
"I want to die....."
Drunk, her cheeks flushed, as if she was trying to avoid something, Refia crawled on Ace's back, but she was muttering words of self-defeat.
"It's alright, Refia, let's go back."
Ace spoke to Refia with rare tenderness.
"Woo..... Miss Ace....."
Refia didn't know if she was moved or what, she looked very cute with a tearful look and red cheeks.
"Hahaha!"
Loki laughed there, drunk and carried on his back by a disgusted Rivelia.
"Alright, let's go back."
Finn beckoned to the members of the family and set out on their way home.
"Go back, go back."
"That stupid wolf, didn't he come back in the end?"
Tiona and Tiogne remained awake, chatting with the group members without a word, and set out on the way home.
Almost all of them looked drunk, and under the beckoning of the few people who could stay awake, they went in the direction of the family base camp.
Rig was the last.
"I'm sorry for you."
After handing over the money bag full of gold coins to the shopkeeper Miya, Rig was ready to set out on his way home.
At the entrance of the store, the female clerk who was cleaning something saw this scene, hesitated for a moment, and then plucked up the courage to come forward.
"That ....."
Xi'er looked like she wanted to say something, and her cheeks were a little crimson.
"What's wrong?"
Li Ge looked at the girl quietly, and only asked after a while.
"No, no." Xi'er waved her hand, pursed her lips and smiled a little panickedly: "I just want to tell you to come on." ”
As she spoke, Ciel lowered her head shyly.
It looks like a little fan who sees an idol.
"I will."
Rig stared at Ci'er for a moment before revealing a faint smile.
Immediately, Rieg turned and left, without any nostalgia.
Ciel watched Rig until his back disappeared.
"Ciel! Come and help! ”
Inside the store, someone was calling her.
"It's coming!"
Ciel smiled suddenly, turned around, and ran back to the store in a bouncing manner.
It can be seen that the girl is in a very good mood.
