"It's all your fault! Now we've been mistaken for that kind of weird person!"

Lilier flexed her legs and buried her face between her knees, hiding the crimson of her face now.

In that ambiguous posture, his housekeeper obviously mistook a strange relationship between them - but what made Liliet feel a little scary was that the expression on the face of the old butler who took care of her growing up was quite subtle, so subtle that Liliet had an extremely bad sense of crisis.

What's the matter with that relieved expression as if watching my granddaughter grow up!?

"It's okay......" After experiencing the initial panic, Aisha had already sorted out her mood, "I can see that the old butler is a veritable old gentleman." ”

The appearance can hide from others, but the heart hidden under it has not hidden Aisha, who also has the heart of a gentleman (lady)! From the other party's eyes, Aisha has understood what kind of person this elegant old butler is—even if the old housekeeper said that he has seen his surroundings in friendship, Aisha is not surprised.

So Aisha is not worried at all that the other party will chew the root of her tongue after she leaves.

"It doesn't matter if you're a gentleman or not!"

"No, that's actually the point!, Liliet, you're still young, you don't understand~"

Angry!

Liliye was provoked by Aisha's child-coaxing attitude again, and just when she wanted to do something, Aisha smiled and pointed to the driving carriage: "Now the door is not closed, but there is no sound insulation~ I don't care." But if rumors spread that Miss Lilier was a lily, there would be nothing you could do about it, even if your faithful old butler wanted to do something. ”

"Uh——!" Liliet clearly understood the consequences of doing so. Hurriedly stopped his next moves, but there was nowhere to vent the accumulated resentment, and Lilier could only glare at Aisha fiercely.

It's just that, in Aisha's opinion, this "fierce" gaze is not lethal~ It's better to say that it's very cute......

"Miss, Miss Aisha. I've brought you dinner. This time, the housekeeper was "obedient", and knocked on the door before walking in, "The eldest lady also has to get along with others." ”

"It's superfluous to get along well!"

Liliel huffed and snatched the bread from the old butler's hand. Hiding in the corner and gnawing alone: "Really, everyone treats me like a child...... (Chew Chew Chew)"

"I'm really sorry, the eldest lady must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

"No, you're overthinking. For me. I don't hate a girl like Liliet-chan who is so straightforward and cute. Aisha took the rest of the food from the old butler. "But you, you must have put a lot of thought into it all these years, right? It's hard to think about it......"

"Hehe, it's my responsibility...... Anyway, although I won't interfere much, but please don't have too much to do with the eldest lady, I believe that the reason goes without saying that you also know the Tao, right? After all, the situation on the eldest lady's side is a little different from usual......

"Hey, do I look like that kind of?"

Aisha was a little upset about this. Although his orientation is, it doesn't ♀ mean that he wants to pop when he sees a cute girl......!

"Nope. I'm worried about the eldest lady who has too much mobility......"

The old butler whispered his concerns: "Now the eldest lady is in a paranoid and wishful thinking age, ahem, I believe Miss Aisha understands my distress." ”

“......”

Although Aisha felt a cold sweat in her heart, she could only bite the bullet and express her understanding...... Please, I'm not Long Aotian, how can people love flowers and flowers, and there has to be a limit to narcissism, right?

[But it's better to be a little more restrained, don't tease Liliye like that?...... Alas, it's all Lin's reason, I've gotten used to this kind of off-the-sufficiency in the past two years......]

After sending off the old butler, Aisha was about to start her dinner when she suddenly noticed Liliet's eyes fixed on her hand.

Aisha looked down suspiciously, and found where Liliet's gaze had finally stopped...... It's the one who holds it and takes a bottle of milk.

What is only a bottle of milk?

Liliet...... Do you want to drink?"

Hearing Aisha's words, Lilier immediately turned her head and pretended to be dismissive: "Hmph, don't make mistake, I, I hate drinking cows the most......

Seems to be choking.

Aisha reluctantly walked over to Liliah and handed her the milk.

"Goo-doo-"

Pretty bold action...... Lilier gulped milk into her mouth, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she stopped drinking it.

"Give, give you. ”

Glancing away, Lilia handed Aisha less than half of the milk that was left.

"There's no need, Liliye, you can just drink it alone, didn't you choke just now......"

"No, the two of us only have a bottle of milk, and even for one reason or another, I can't swallow Aisha's share alone!"

Lilia said this categorically, and there was no room for Aisha to retreat.

"I can't help you ......"

In the face of Lilier, who has such a resolute attitude, Aisha can only accept the other party's kindness.

In fact, you can make your own water, and unlike bread, there is no disadvantage in the taste of water made by spells - however, since there is milk, Aisha is naturally happy to enjoy it, after all, bread is really delicious to eat with milk.

Chewing bread in your mouth and then taking a sip of milk, the combination of wheat and milk is the best!

“......”

Seeing Aisha drinking milk, Lilia couldn't help but blush.

[Words.] I just drank it, right? Now, isn't that ...... What's that...... Is it ?]

"Hmm, Lilier, what's wrong with you? Is there anything strange on my face?"

"No, no, nothing!"

Lilier quickly tilted her head and pretended nothing had happened. And the other side. Aisha didn't understand what Liliet was thinking.

......

After some more time, the butler knocked on the door again.

"Miss, because I will get up early tomorrow morning to continue my journey, I need to go to bed a little earlier. It's a little different from what you're used to, but please be considerate. ”

"I'm not an ignorant bear child......" Lilier looked at the housekeeper who was reminding her dissatisfied, always feeling that the other party had always treated her as if she didn't look the same - anyway, she was not the kind of very arrogant and willful daughter. I still understand this truth.

"But where are we going to sleep? there's no bed in the carriage......"

"This~" The housekeeper said helplessly, "Miss, you can only try to be patient, you don't want to fall asleep in front of those people outside, right?" ”

Liliah wanted to say something else. But the thought that he was going to fall asleep under the gaze of those men immediately rushed to the point where he felt uncomfortable, and after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

"It can be a little cold at night because of the climate. I've brought you two blankets here, too. Although I know that it is not cold now. However, if you want to sleep, it is recommended to cover it. ”

After explaining some things that need attention, Mr. Butler also closed the car door and left.

"Well, how can you sleep like this? It's a carriage, and there's only a cushion in it, so do you want to sleep on it? But there's two people here, ......."

"Actually, it's okay for me to go out and find a place to sleep. ”

"No!" Lilier interrupted Aisha without hesitation, "Aisha, you're a little self-conscious, how can you be with those dirty mercenaries!"

"That...... I'm a mercenary......"

Aisha's argument was heard. Liliet took a menacing step forward, her tone not relaxing in the slightest. "No, you can't!Aisha, you are a little self-aware of your charm, what if anyone doesn't resist your charm and can't control it!?"

"Interrupt his little friend and make him unable to get up again. ”

Aisha was quite calm about this.

"Uh...... Anyway, I just can't!" Lilier stopped in front of Aisha without giving an inch, pointing to the two blankets on the cushions, "Anyway, he also brought two blankets, and I can't cover two of them myself, and the other one is obviously for Aisha!

“...... Lilia, don't you think there's some ambiguity in what you just said?"

As soon as Aisha reminded her, Liliet felt that she had really said something full of ambiguity......

"Wow, verbose!"

Lilia blushed and pulled a blanket over her seat to sit down.

If it was two people, they would have to sit - albeit unaccustomed, but Lilia would have had to adapt to the strange environment.

Lilia leaned her head against the inner wall of the carriage, the hard touch of her forehead making her feel uncomfortable. It was at this time that she felt how beautiful the big, soft bed at home was...... However, the thought only came to me for a moment, and Lilier drove it out of her mind.

"Sure enough, you're still a little unaccustomed to it, right?"

Looking at Liliet's slightly frowning brow, Aisha smiled.

"It's not enough to take it anymore! it's okay!" Lilia said with no intention of showing weakness to Aisha.

"Well......" Aisha sat down on the other side and said to Lilier, who was adjusting to her current environment, "Alright, Liliye, you can lie down." ”

"How can this be!"

If she had been to lie down, she would have no place to sleep - the cushions in the carriage were only as good as if she could lie on her side. Lilia wouldn't do anything to keep Aisha from sleeping.

"It's okay to say it~"

Aisha leaned over and put her arm around Liliet's shoulder, pulling her down onto the cushion for some reason. Originally, the seat was only enough to allow Liliet to lie on her side. Now, Aisha herself also occupies a small position, and rightfully so. Liliet's head rested on Aisha's lap.

"Huh!?"

Because it was lying on her side, the soft touch from her cheeks made Liliye instantly stiffen.

"If you're lying on your side, Liliet, you can put it up if you curl your legs a bit, right?" it would be a little more comfortable...... Aisha helped Liliet put the blanket over her body carefully, "Anyway, compared to the pillows." It may be a little uncomfortable, but it's better than you were before, and it's going to be a little bit better~"

It's going to be a ghost!

This...... It's a knee pillow! Lilier hasn't seen such a scene in knightly novels. But when I experienced it myself, I found that even if it is the same sex, the charm of the knee pillow is very deadly!

"But...... In that case, Aisha, what are you going to do?"

After blushing and beating for a long time. Lilier finally uttered a complete sentence.

"Don't worry. I'm a mage. Aisha smiled and brushed a few bangs on Liliet's forehead, and said nonchalantly, "For me, sitting is more suitable for meditation than lying down." ”

"That's ...... Is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter, meditation itself can restore the fatigue of my brain, so the effect is not much different from sleeping. ”

"This ...... That's right. ”

"Alright, let go of all the superfluous things in your heart, and get some sleep—we'll be on our way tomorrow." ”

"Hmmm......"

I feel like I usually sleep. The warmth she had never experienced from a pillow, Lilia whispered in response to Aisha. I closed my eyes too.

...... However, even if you close your eyes and your heart beats so fast, can you fall asleep?

=============

[Sure enough, I still can't sleep.] 】

Lilia didn't know how long it had been, but after her seventh failed attempt to fall asleep, she didn't know what she was going to do now - honestly, maybe she didn't say yes to Aisha in the first place, and chose to sleep against the wall like that...... Of course, if Liliet had to choose, she would definitely choose the option that she couldn't sleep, right?

At least, even though I can't sleep, I'm inexplicably happy now.

Listening to the sound of her breathing, Lilia almost understood what Aisha was in now, and this was what she called "meditation", right?

Because she had been in one position for a long time, Lilier felt a little discomfort in half of her body, and subconsciously wanted to turn her body. As a result, her head just moved, and as her cheeks and hair rubbed against Aisha's legs a few times, Aisha let out a small "whine" sound in a daze.

Liliye's body froze on the spot.

Luckily, Aisha didn't wake up, which made Liliet breathe a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to move again.

As a result of turning over, Lilia was now lying on her back, and could clearly see Aisha's face - that slack, defenseless face, no matter how she looked, it didn't look like she was meditating!

Sure enough, Aisha was just lying to herself at that time, right?

“......”

However, just looking at Aisha's face when she was sleeping, she took off all the "weapons" of the day, and it really couldn't be thought of as a magician with a strong face and thin shoulders such a gentle face.

Who would have thought that in this thin body, there was an incomparably powerful force hidden?

[Sure enough, compared to me, Aisha is more in line with the image of the eldest lady who lives in the boudoir in people's minds, right?]

As Liliel surveyed Aisha's sleeping face, Aisha's eyebrows twitched, and Aisha slowly opened her eyes—but instead of the hazy feeling of waking up, it was a slow flow of coolness.

"Huh, Aisha, ...... you?"

Lilia thought that her actions had woken Aisha up, but Aisha immediately held out her finger next to her lips and made a silent motion.

Lilia immediately covered her mouth in amusement, and she noticed that Aisha's expression was not at all as relaxed as she had been with her before.

"Lilier, what are you thinking when you say that you don't sleep in the middle of the night, but secretly get up and meet with other people?"

After listening carefully for a long time, after making sure that the men were leaving, Aisha suddenly asked Liliet.

"Huh?" Lilier stunned Aisha's question for a moment, and then immediately reacted, "Aisha, you mean...... Someone in the caravan doing something unspeakable at night?"

"There have been three of us walking around our carriage a few times...... Aisha said something that Liliet had to worry about.

It was because someone sneaked up to the carriage and disturbed the flow of air near the carriage, which in turn triggered the engraving that Aisha had buried in it, that Aisha woke up.

However, after a few circles, these people did not take the next step, which was a bit unexpected by Aisha, after all, there must have been no good intentions to sneak up in the middle of the night...... But soon, Aisha figured out the key - the caravan people were resting, but the mercenaries would keep vigil in batches, and even if they had any thoughts about the people in the carriage, they would not be stupid enough to do anything to attract the attention of the mercenaries who were keeping vigil.

“...... If so, they must have put something on our wagon, right?"

"That's it~" Liliye was also a little curious, what are these people doing in their carriages secretly in the middle of the night?

"There is some magic outflow, it is magic props, as for what it is used for, it is unknown. Speaking of this, Aisha suddenly looked at Lilier, "Lilier, my mission this time is to protect you well, so I will ask your opinion now - do you want to dismantle this thing?"

Lilier was also stunned, not understanding why Aisha wanted to ask for her opinion.

"What are you talking about, this kind of thing that sounds a little dangerous should be ...... earlier"

Liliel stopped her words.

Myself...... When it comes to tearing down this "dangerous" thing...... Seems a little disappointed?

“......”

Aisha still looked at Liliah with a smile on her face, and when Lilier's eyes met Aisha's smiling expression, she suddenly understood what Aisha meant.

"Now, Aisha, can you protect me?

"Ah, this is confident, please believe it. ”

"Then that's fine...... Let's see what the other party is going to do!" (To be continued......)
