The warm golden rays of the noon sun are shining, but with the blowing of the salty and humid sea breeze, there is no trace of dryness, the green spring leaves dance on the branches, and the hanging willows are swaying, like transparent blue curtains.

In the sparsely populated corner of the western side of the city, a public stone platform and several stone benches stand on the high ground with a wide view, just in time to look through the low walls on the cliff side to the eternal sea that meets the sky.

Since it was lunchtime, Sindra, who was dressed differently, grabbed Josh's wrist and walked all the way here, without attracting much attention.

Releasing Josh's wrist, Sindra lifted her chin and looked at the stone bench, "Sit down." ”

Josh moved his left hand, which had been caught all the way, still surprised in his heart, "What are you bringing me here for?" Is there anything you can't say to your face? ”

Sindra remained expressionless, and she had been that expression for as long as Ahri wasn't around.

"You'd like to be interviewed in front of Gwen?"

Sindra said as she sat on the stone bench with her arms folded around her chest, her raised left leg on top of her right leg, her round and full toes sandwiching the rope of the clogs, swaying leisurely, with the pink and purple nail polish, like an elf dancing in the breeze.

[Oh roar, it seems that this Xiaoice block also sees Gwen's feelings for you. 】

"Little ...... Ice cube? ”

Lunicia smiled: [Isn't this title in line with the character she shows? Or, maybe it's the same word you said before...... What's boring? Smoulder? 】

I'm still braised ......

Josh thought of the words she used to describe Lunicia when she was still in the middle of time and space.

But she had only used it once, and she still had an impression.

It is true that what should be remembered will always be forgotten, and the one that should not be remembered will remain in the depths of memory.

Josh said helplessly, "Forget it, Xiaoice block is good...... I'm curious what nickname you gave me behind my back. ”

[Josh Russell, haven't I been calling you by name all the time?] As for the nickname, I haven't thought about it for the time being...... Why don't I get one for you? 】

"No, it's good to call it by name."

While communicating with Lunihia, Josh frowned slightly, and was about to sit across the table opposite Sindra, but was stopped by her: "Sit down." ”

"Huh?"

Josh was stunned for a moment, only to see Sindra pointing to the empty seat next to her, the purpose obvious.

"Isn't it the same wherever you sit......"

Josh's complaint drew a roll of the eye from Sindra, but she didn't stick out her tongue and sarcasm like she did with Ryze.

Josh had just sat down when the smell of rancidity of metal permeated his mouth.

Syndra's eyes flashed with pure white, and the magic factor in the environment seemed to be part of the white-haired woman's extended limbs, and the cold touch pressed against Josh's skin, quickly skimming the surface of his body from top to bottom.

Within a moment, her gaze stayed on Josh's gloved right hand, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she muttered in a low voice, "Is this the corrupting power of blood magic?" ”

Syndra then withdrew her magic, raised her eyes to meet Josh's eyes, and said, "You didn't think about breaking your curse?" ”

[Cursed? What is a curse? White magic and black magic are all magic, and the reason why it is like this is nothing more than that the human body cannot withstand the power that only the gods can bear. 】

"Honestly, it's no different from a curse." Josh replied.

Lunicia just snorted coldly: [I find that I am starting to hate this Xiaoice block. 】

Josh took off his gloves and lifted his sleeves, his scarlet arms like demonic hands exposed to the air, and the terrifying knots of blood vessels pulsed and exuded a thick ominous aura.

Previously, Josh had Lunihia absorb the blood of the spider god, so that the effects of blood magic on his whole body had been healed by the water of life.

But only the corrupting power attached to his right arm is deeply rooted, as if it is the connection between Josh and Lunixia, or the strange magical reaction generated by his own crossing, which cannot be separated by external forces.

"I haven't found a solution to it yet." Josh paused for a moment and added, "Besides, even if I could break this curse, I wouldn't do it." ”

"Why?"

"Lunicia will be angry."

[I didn't say it! Don't slander me! 】

Saying this, Lunicia was very satisfied.

This guy still cares a little bit about my feelings.

As soon as she heard Josh's words, Sindra's face changed for a while, and finally she seemed to be holding back the desire to "complain", and just spit out lightly: "You...... It really can. ”

Josh put on his gloves again and said bluntly: "Tell me anything quickly, Ahri's meeting won't be too long, and she won't be able to find us then, so don't have any misunderstandings." ”

[Misunderstanding? Are you still afraid of misunderstanding? Lunicia was surprised, "To be honest, shouldn't it be a great sense of accomplishment to conquer such an iceberg beauty? The appearance is cold, but when it comes to the collapse of the expression...... Gee. 】

"I really doubt it, Lunihia, did you have the wrong gender?" Josh couldn't help it, "Or is there something wrong with your sexual orientation?" ”

[Why do you have to frame the gods from a mortal perspective?] Lunicia spoke disdainfully, "Why do I have to have mortal emotions? 】

"You weren't a mortal before." Josh was speechless, "Get started with this every day, conquer that...... Can I conquer you? ”

As soon as he said this, Josh suddenly felt a tingling pain in his right arm, and the aura of corrupting power overflowed, attracting Sindra's strange eyes.

"What's the matter with you?"

Josh returned an unnatural smile and explained, "Don't worry, it's just a daily conversation with Lunichia. ”

【Conquer me?】 Oh, if you can also ascend to become a Celestial Warrior, and then defeat me who has lifted the seal...... You don't need to be in your heyday, I let you do it, lest I bully my juniors, I will be convinced by you. 】

Lunixia's voice was low and cold, [But if you say conquer in some aspects? Next life. 】

“…… Next? What you mean by that, it's not like I don't have a chance. ”

[Fuck off. 】

There was another piercing pain in his right arm, and Josh, who had long been used to it, did not change his face and said to Sindra: "Let's be honest, you mentioned Gwen just now, is it related to her?" ”

Sindra was silent for a moment, not answering Josh's question directly, just the iceberg on her face melted and she smiled at Josh in a rare way.

But just as Ahri commented on her, just with Sindra's acting skills, she will be paid into the repertory troupe, and no one else will want her.

Josh's eyes were quite strange, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the empty behind, for fear that Ahri was rushing over at this time, and Sindra happened to want to make a mistake and deliberately tease herself.

And that's not all, with a crisp "snap", Sindra's upturned left foot clogs slipped.

She had a playful expression on her face, but there was a faint glow of disgust in the depths of her eyes, and her bare feet were taut, and the arc that followed from the instep was perfect, reaching straight for Josh.

[Hey, no wonder I can become good friends with the little fox, I look cold on the outside, but I also like to take the initiative? Lunicia chuckled with an attitude of not being too big to see the excitement.

Josh was startled by Sindra's sudden move, and as soon as he wanted to get up, a thick odor diffused from his mouth again, which was a normal physiological reaction to magic.

The mana factor gathered into a clump, and three white balls of light appeared out of thin air, surrounding Josh.

The transparent white light, which was almost visible to the naked eye, was like a pair of large hands up to a thousand pounds, weighing heavily on his shoulders, making Josh unable to stand up for a while.

Sindra's magical talent can be said to be unprecedented, and Josh and Ruize's talents together can't be compared to several times more.

If her power had come from pure negativity, it would have been enough to tear the earth apart and lift up an entire fortress the size of Helia, obscuring the sky and staining the firmament.

At that time, Sindra had just woken up from the seal and had not yet fully reached the top.

As she herself said: My energy is endless!

If Josh were to judge, he didn't know what the upper limit of Sindra's growth as a mortal was.

At least, Mao Kai, who used to be in the Fuguang Island period, and the spider god Despicable Throat must have no way to help her.

Sindra's left foot stepped on Josh's knee and rubbed it gently, although there was disgust in her eyes, but the evil smile on the corner of her lips was enough to explain Syndra's current mood.

"What do you mean by that?" Josh's eyes glowed with arcane blue, and his skin formed a uniform runic imprint.

Ever since Josh's body nearly collapsed the last time he used the World Runes far beyond his limit, the Arcane Runes imprinted in his body had been completely replaced by transcendent forms.

After all, the world runes still had a certain effect on Josh's body.

However, he woke up yesterday, and he used his magic power when his body was weaker at the moment, and he couldn't exert his full strength, and it was not clear whether the effect was positive or negative.

But even so, Josh couldn't break through the magic that Sindra bringed.

"Please respect yourself, Miss Sindra." Josh said, "Don't forget, you and Ahri are good sisters, and I am her lover." ”

If it were Ahri, Josh might have sharpened her gun at this time, but the woman in front of her was her good sister.

Josh knows Ahri, and she won't let Sindra do this kind of "temptation" of herself, so it's most likely that Sindra wants to check for her sister on a whim.

He won't be fooled.

"Oh? Ahri isn't here now, it's just the two of us here, do you have to pretend to be serious? ”

Sindra's slender index finger was on her chin, trying to make a charming expression, but the bottom of her eyes and cold expression was there, making her look very unnatural from the inside out.

Lunicia commented: [It's a little fox's demeanor, that's how it looks...... How is it the same as looking at garbage? Wasn't this her own initiative? 】

Josh was about to say something, but Sindra interrupted in time to give him a chance to speak: "Do you think I'm not beautiful?" Although I am not as charming as Ahri, at least, my appearance is not inferior to hers, right? ”

As she spoke, Syndra's toes curled up from time to time, climbing up Josh's knees.

"Ahri once mentioned you to me...... You seem to like her feet. ”

Although she resisted a little, Sindra's gaze couldn't help but peek downward, not intending to give Josh any chance to take advantage.

Unfortunately, the expected scene did not happen, and Sindra was glad and at the same time couldn't help but feel a little chagrined.

This stupid melon! Isn't my charm as good as Ahri's?

Josh's forehead was bruised, and a little anger rose in his heart, and he said loudly, "Enough! Miss Sindra, I don't think it's fun...... If you want to help Ahri test me, I guess that's enough now, right? ”

Hmph, the little fox's vision is not bad.

But that Gwen ...... Why does she look at you the same way as the little fox?

There must be a ghost between the two of you!

Sindra's left foot finally stopped halfway through and retracted to slip back into the clogs that had fallen to the ground.

But before Josh could breathe a sigh of relief, a refreshing fragrance of cherry blossoms suddenly penetrated into his nose.

Fangcai's "flirtation" turned out to be just an appetizer, and Sindra flicked off the silver thread of her shawl, and actually straddled Josh's lap and hooked Josh's chin with her hand.

The distance between the two people was not close, but they could still feel the warm breath of each other.

Sindra's cheeks flushed unnaturally, and Josh could tell that she was just pretending to be calm.

"Didn't Ahri tell you that I was a bad woman?" Sindra said deliberately.

It's just that with her cold and hard to pretend to be charming expression, no matter how you look at it, it shows a strong sense of disobedience.

"You've hooked up with your Kamavia doll, what if I add another one?" Sindra whispered softly, stroking Josh's face, "Don't worry, Ahri won't know." ”

Sure enough, it's because of Gwen.

Josh laughed happily, but she didn't expect Sindra to be two hundred years old, and she still retained an innocent childishness, wanting to stand up for her good sister.

But what about the method......

In Lunixia's words: Why did Sindra reward you?

[Here we go again...... I feel like you're speaking ill of me. As soon as Josh squeezed out her mind freely, Lunicia muffled.

"I can't even cope with the situation in front of me, how can I have time to speak ill of you? You're thinking too much. ”

[You'd better be like that. 】

Now Josh really doesn't have time to communicate with Lunicia much.

After making it clear why Sindra was like this, several thoughts suddenly came to mind.

Since you like to "play", then I'll play with you.

A flirtatious smile appeared on Josh's face, and he said back, "Since you already know my little secret with Gwen, then I can't keep you." ”

Josh deliberately accentuated the latter sentence, as if he had other intentions.

Really! You're the same as other stinky men, it's not a good thing!

Sindra felt indignant for Ahri, and a fleeting anger burned in her eyes, but she hid it well.

"Oh?" Sindra raised her eyebrows and lowered her eyebrows, and chuckled softly, "Why do you want to keep me?" ”

Although he was under magic on his shoulders, due to Syndra's negligence, Josh's hands were not too restricted, and he could move freely by using arcane to dispel spiritual energy.

He grabbed Sindra's slender waist with the same slenderness as Ahri's with his left hand.

However, Josh was still very measured, and did not make direct contact with Sindra, but just pressed on the rosary that was set around her waist.

"Yikes!"

Feeling her waist suddenly being hugged by Josh, Sindra was very stunned and subconsciously cried out.

Taking advantage of Syndra's astonishment, the additional magical confinement on her body was loosened, and Josh's right hand passed through her shoulder, and with only a slight force, Syndra, who was already defenseless, fell down and lay on Josh's arm.

Josh suddenly moved closer to Syndra's face, and suddenly stopped at the last ten centimeters.

The warm breaths were already exchangeable, and Sindra, who had never been in such close contact with a man, had a dull expression, and was at a loss for a moment, just staring at Josh's playful gaze in a daze.

In just two or three seconds, Sindra came back to her senses, and the anger in her heart finally couldn't help but explode.

She instantly regained her cold expression, and the white mist magic that diffused around her flickered and dimmed, representing Sindra's mood at this time.

"You ......"

It's just that Sindra was just about to use magic, but Josh spoke first: "I already know your thoughts, Miss Sindra, your trick is useless to me." ”

Josh let go of Sindra, got up and pulled away, and directly hit a rake:

"Although you did this for Ahri, it was you who took the initiative to seduce me just now...... I'm not going to tell Ahri about it, I just hope you don't do it again. ”

"I ......" Sindra wanted to say something, but her mind went blank and she didn't know how to contradict Josh.

I actually took the initiative to seduce the little fox's lover...... Is it just to help her gatekeeper?

Sindra couldn't help but ask herself.

Why should I do this?

No matter what the outcome is, will this guy be able to withstand my test, and in the end, when the little fox learns the truth, isn't she the one who was hurt?

Like a fire that had just been lit in a haystack of cold water poured over it, most of the anger that had risen in Sindra's heart was instantly dissipated, replaced by a wave of shame, guilt, and a little regret.

I could have directly reminded the raccoon about Gwen, maybe they were really innocent, maybe there was a problem, and the raccoon would solve it.

I can't even do it myself, why am I so stupid......

His cheeks burned uncontrollably, and the guilt that had already arisen turned into chagrin.

"What happened just now is written off! If you dare to speak out, I'll ...... I'll let Ahri break your legs! ”

Josh shrugged his hand, "Then it's up to Ahri to be reluctant to do this." ”

"You ......"

Sindra pointed to Josh's nose, but met his impassioned gaze, and then fell back into defeat and sat back down on the stone bench in a dejected manner.

[That's the end of it?] Lunicia had a bored tone, which was not what she was hoping for.

If she still had her own body, Runicia would definitely be the kind of person who sits next to her and shouts cheers while eating melon seeds and watching the excitement.

"And how do you want to develop?" Josh replied, "If I'm stabbed by Ahri, there's no one to help you break the seal." ”

Lunicia was speechless for a moment, "You're really bored. 】

Then, Josh sat down across from Sindra again, staring at the "girl" in front of her, whose appearance was seriously inconsistent with her actual age.

Sensing his gaze, Sindra glanced at Josh out of the corner of her eye.

Although the person returned to his previous cold appearance, he stammered a little when he spoke: "Also, still look at me, what are you doing with me?" If you want to wait for my apology...... Sorry, impossible. ”

"I didn't expect your apology, after all, you're also thinking about Ahri." Josh replied, "I'm just curious about your past. ”

"Ahri really didn't mention me to you?" Sindra turned her head abruptly and looked at Josh, "I thought it was ...... That's what you pretended to be, too. ”

Good you little raccoon! I'm so sorry I think you're my best friend! You don't even mention me to your lover!

"Why should I install this? It's not good for me. Josh shrugged, "I haven't had much time to be alone with Ahri since I returned to the real world, and she didn't even have time to tell me about Uncle Arro and Aunt Lim. ”

“……”

Sindra was silent for a moment, "If you want to know my experience, why don't you just ask Ahri?" She's the benefactor I grew up with, the initiator of my magical path, and she knows me as well as she knows you. ”

"Other people's descriptions are always better than self-introduction." Josh laughed and said, "Anyway, what we have now is time." ”

Sindra hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, when she heard Ahri's cry suddenly from a distance: "So you two are hiding here?" Gwen and I have been looking for you for most of the day! ”

Josh's gaze turned in the direction of the source of the sound, but Sindra looked like she had done something wrong and was about to be discovered by her parents, and she was visibly flustered.

Before Ahri could walk over, she secretly kicked Josh in the knee.

When he turned his gaze back in pain, Sindra glared at Josh in a pretended vicious manner and whispered, "I'll warn you again...... Don't talk to Ahri about what happened! ”
