The Ice Witch shook her head and decided not to dwell on the issue.

Compared to her, who had only been here from the North Continent for a few months, Loren and Florence had known each other for several years, and must know Florence better than her, and she was more familiar with Florence.

It was true that she rarely stepped out of the temple of Gedaria, the capital of the forest, and she hadn't been to the Southern Continent for hundreds of years, and sometimes she felt that the city of Ichrita was full of novelty.

"Where have you been today? I couldn't find you all morning. ”

The Ice Witch walked up to Loren, still a little displeased and back to business.

This morning's Loren seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

If her guess is correct, this guy is called a rest day, and it is likely that he has found a time difference and is doing something unspeakable.

Loren was stronger than her, if he consciously hid his magic and whereabouts, she really couldn't find out where Loren was, let alone rashly follow Loren in this state.

"I, I'm going to see a friend."

Loren explained with some nervousness.

“……”

The Ice Witch stared at Loren's panicked look and pondered for a moment.

If Loren had been completely calm, she would have felt fine, just a general behind-the-scenes quality.

But this guy can pretend to be just the right amount of panic.

It's like going on a date with your girlfriend on the weekend and being met by a colleague.

Jerky and a little too natural.

"I see."

The Ice Witch pondered again and nodded.

Since Loren wanted to act like this, she could only follow what he said.

Before gaining his trust, it would be a bit dangerous to rashly expose his intentions to expose him.

"You've been working too hard lately, I've seen it. But next time you have time, can you also consider it, I am also helping you work overtime. ”

There was still no smile on her face, and she said to Loren in a flat voice.

"Sorry...... I don't know how to thank you enough......"

Loren held the back of his head with one hand and bowed his head.

Guilt mixed with gratitude, made him particularly unsure of how to express it.

"Then if there is such a rest day next time, take me with you, otherwise I will be unbalanced."

The Ice Witch said.

The best way to avoid being caught by him without a proper explanation is to naturally obtain his permission, so that it is reasonable to stay by his side like this, no matter how much you track him, to stay by his side, no matter how much you follow him.

After all, a woman's curiosity is able to explain the vast majority of questions.

“…… Well, Miss Almis, but us. ”

Loren's voice froze.

Even if he is sluggish, he knows that men and women go out together on their days off, which may be approximately, dating.

"Just as a colleague. Or do you think people like me are boring and don't want to spend even a day with me? ”

The Ice Witch stepped closer, looked up at Loren, and asked.

"No, I really appreciate you, and you are a person who makes me feel extremely reliable, and only you are willing to support me so firmly in my most difficult times, without you, I don't know how I would have survived last month."

Loren replied quickly and sincerely.

“……”

The Ice Witch was dumbfounded.

Looking at that sincere look, the Ice Witch involuntarily unloaded her guard for a moment.

For some reason, she always felt that Loren's emotions at this time were not at all like acting.

Wrong.

That's what makes it scary, because she can't tell whether this man is lying to her or being sincere to her.

The heroic stage of the Northern Continent was vivid, and the last words of the Son of Destruction echoed in her ears, and everything reminded her that there was definitely something wrong with Loren.

"So, your answer."

She came back to her senses, and her gaze became clear again.

"As long as you don't mind, of course I'm fine."

Loren smiled helplessly.

He couldn't read what was going on in Almis' mind from the first time they met, and the only thing he was sure of was that Almis was good to him.

At the moment, it seems, she doesn't seem to hate herself that much.

The instructor said that team building with colleagues is a normal thing, and sometimes more team building can strengthen the cohesion of the church.

"Then make an appointment."

After the Ice Witch finished speaking, she turned to leave, and at the same time signaled that Loren could go.

【……】

In the silence of the instructor, Loren opened the door to the secret room of the temple again, and walked down the corridor, gradually increasing his pace.

In less than half a minute, he had crossed the Yarra Moat and the River Harbour Bridge and returned to the opposite bank where the Icherita Opera House was located.

"Instructor, how's the time?"

[Seventeen minutes and twenty seconds have passed since you left Juliana's side. 】

The instructor's voice came immediately, proving that he had not dropped the line just now, but had been listening but not speaking.

Loren was instantly relieved when he heard this.

Although he couldn't hear what the instructor's original voice was like after the voice change, all of Loren's security was now on it.

According to the instructor's route planning, the most difficult level today was passed without any danger.

[The good news is that you have a lot of routes. 】

The instructor said suddenly.

"Where's the bad news?"

Loren also didn't understand what the instructor meant by the "route" at this point.

It doesn't sound like a reference to the route back to the opera house, because he's almost there.

[The bad news is that you open every line.] 】

“？”

Loren didn't understand, his face full of confusion.

[It's not too much of a problem, now that you've returned to the right track of the dating line, the brother line and the witch line will be talked about later, and then you just need to have dinner with Juliana, watch a show, and go to the Golden Hornet Playground at night to have a little fun, and the date will be over. 】

The instructor's voice continued to ring in Loren's ears.

"Sss

The playground mentioned by the instructor made Loren a little worried.

Because Icherita's Hornet Playground has always been a crowded spot, with plenty of souvenirs and limited food prizes, and often even more so on weekend nights, Loren has never had the experience of going to such a trendy spot with a girl.

It was the instructor who analyzed Juliana's preferences and selected the agenda of the appointment in time, and sure enough, it was quite in line with Juliana's wishes.

[Don't worry, I'll be in the playground at night too, and if you get into any trouble, I might show up as any passerby and help you.] 】

The instructor said.

"Thank you, Instructor."

Loren felt a sense of security.

[In any case, after today's exercise, your time management has been small, be confident, even if you have to face the real hell difficulty next time, I believe you can get through it, and what can't destroy you will make you stronger.] 】

"And what if I get destroyed?"

Although Loren didn't know what the instructor's words meant, the instructor's riddles made him feel like the gears of fate had begun to turn, and he himself was completely unknown.

[I'm here.] 】

The instructor's voice was still so convinced.

"That's great."

Loren's last hanging heart finally let go,

"Can I ask the instructor for my next date......

[No problem, no matter when and where, even if I have an appointment myself, I will do my best to help you at the same time.] 】

"Good!"

The instructor's self-confidence that collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged seemed to be infectious.

After all, today they succeeded.

Next time, it will only be more successful!

……

On a bench at the edge of the temple square, a young man with black hair and a cap took a sip of coffee in one hand, and finally cut off the headset and stopped communicating for the time being.

He opened his notebook, took off the Golden Hornet Playground Admission Ticket, which was temporarily used as a bookmark, and looked at it on the hand-drawn map.

The little black cat next to him leaned closer.

"Meow, in case you happen to have three threads next time, and at the same time you have to command Loren's three threads, do you really dare to play?"

As if expecting the worst, Boss Cat looked at Lan Qi and asked with some concern.

"First of all, this kind of small probability event is not very likely."

Ranch looked at it and just smiled lightly,

"Secondly, it's just as difficult as it is for me, can you imagine me begging for mercy in fear?"

The emerald green water-like eyes are still so clear, naturally full of thought and comfort.

"Meow."

Boss Cat barked and watched as Ranch fell into the thinking universe.

Since Lanqi has said that it will succeed, then it doesn't have much to worry about in the future, just play with Lanqi today.

Then it ripped off the golden ticket that Lanch had placed on his chair.

It seemed to remember that when Tata came back yesterday, the edge of the shopping paper bag he was holding also showed such a golden corner.

But it's probably wrong, these two can't always want to go together.
