Following the footsteps of old village chief Lugo, Saili also slowly entered the tavern.
After greeting the two girls, he found a chair not far from them and sat down.
The black-haired girl didn't understand what this lineup was about.
On the other side, Lulea, Lina and Xia Mi didn't quite understand what was going on.
After the three people returned from Maple Grove Clearing, they were called over by the village chief shortly after they separated.
"Miss Elf, Miss Brave, and Miss Magician. I have a very important thing to entrust you with."
The old village chief stood in front of the three girls, naturally ignoring Xia Mi's presence.
Xia Mi thought it was normal.
At this time, it seemed unusual for the village chief to speak to him, as if he was the master behind the village.
"Mr. Village Chief, what is going on?"
The one who answered was the white-haired girl Lina. The girl straightened her waist.
"I received a request for help from other villages. Their village was invaded by demons, and the demons also took away the village chief's daughter."
Lulea and Lina looked at Xia Mi behind the old village chief Lugo, with questioning expressions.
Don't look at me! The invasion of the village has always been left to you two! It's obvious you're not talking about us, idiots!
Xia Mi quickly stared back.
The two girls looked back at each other.
The magical girl frowned slightly: "Demon?"
"Yeah. Yes. Because the village is relatively remote, there is no way to contact the adventure group and mercenary group to come to help, so we can only turn to the surrounding villages in the hope of getting help."
Lugo said, looking at the three of them.
"The old village chief is a friend of mine. He said that if he could save his daughter, he would be willing to give away the treasure of his village."
"The treasure of the town and village must be something great..."
The white-haired girl murmured.
It's hard to say. What kind of treasure can a small village be?
It might be a piece of cloth armor passed down from generation to generation by the old village chief but it only had +5 defense, or it might be a treasure map that came from somewhere that marked a big treasure but was actually the stronghold of a bandit den.
Xia Mi thought silently for a while and slowly shook his head.
The treasure of a small village leaves no room for imagination.
"That demon has no intention of leaving yet and is still wandering around the village. I wonder if you are willing to attack them and save the village." Old village chief Lugo said seriously.
"How many of us are there?"
Lina pointed at herself, then looked at Lulea and Saili.
"Yes."
"Are you sure it's a demon?"
"Only the demons can do something like that. Not only did they kidnap the village chief's daughter, they also took away the old sow that had been raised in the village for 15 years. The old sow must have suffered."
The old village chief Lugo burst into tears.
Instead of worrying about the village chief's daughter, are you worried about the old sow? ! What have the demons done before?
"Because Xia Mi is familiar with the nearby terrain, I plan to ask Xia Mi to go with you."
Lulea and Lina secretly looked at Xia Mi again.
Xia Mi gave a look of agreement.
Although the treasure of the town and village was not attractive, he wanted to see who was this person who used the demon clan name to do bad things and destroy the image of the demon clan.
The masters all agreed, and Lulea, who was a demon envoy, and Lina, who was one step closer to becoming a demon envoy, agreed.
"Okay, we accept it."
In the end, the black-haired girl was the only one left with an opinion.
Saili smiled slightly and agreed.
"Of course I can go too. However, one villager who knows the way is not enough. Call the villager named Theo as well."
"Since Miss Magic has nominated Theo, I will call him later."
The black-haired girl naturally had her own plans.
It was a rare mission to defeat the demons. If Theo was roped in, he would definitely be able to detect his identity through close observation.
The old village chief Lugo thanked the girls.
"I didn't expect us to become teammates so quickly, you two."
Saili smiled at the two girls.
Lina blinked slightly shyly and clenched her little hands into fists excitedly.
Yes, a team of this size is almost like an adventure group.
The most important thing is that this team not only includes magicians, but also the elf Miss Lulea, and Xia Mi!
Lulea didn't have much emotional change about this, just treating it as a trip.
With Lina here and a magician from Fata, all monsters and monsters should be kept out of the way!
After tidying up.
The next morning, a team consisting of an elf girl, a human brave girl, a human magician girl, and two human villagers officially set off.
The village chief found a carriage to transport several people.
Except for Theo, the rest of the people present are basically unnecessary.
Xia Mi and the other three have portals, and Saili has flying magic.
But taking each other into consideration, they all got on the carriage.
The three girls were sitting inside the carriage, while Xia Mi and Theo were controlling the horses outside the carriage.
"Hey, hey, Xia Mi, I'm not dreaming."
Theo leaned closer to Xia Mi and whispered in shock, his eyes bulging out a centimeter or two.
"I can actually sneak into this kind of adventure group and become one of them."
"Don't think too much, they just need us to lead the way." Xia Mi slowly explained.
But he found that Theo beside him was no longer normal, and he quickly touched Theo.
[Name: Theo]
[Occupation: Villager]
[Status: Excited! Really, really high! 】
No, what kind of state is this? It’s definitely a prelude to getting a ○! Do you want to come directly here?
Hurry up and hold it back for me.
Xia Mi frowned, unable to accept this kind of thing, and slapped Theo quickly.
"Calm down, Theo."
"Hug, I'm sorry... I'm a little too excited... When I think of being able to talk about this experience with the widow after I go back, my whole head feels high... She will definitely give up her identity as a attacker and become a sufferer. !”
"It sounds like you're not having a very good time there, Theo."
Xia Mi looked over gently.
Immediately, he discovered that Theo seemed to have changed a lot. Ever since he was infected with the widow's poison, he had never heard him say anything about watching the female adventurers fight outside the adventure group, so he asked tentatively. past.
"Theo, didn't you say before that you must watch the adventure group when you have the chance..."
"Shh! Xia Mi, please keep your voice down!" Theo panicked, "You can just handle this kind of thing yourself! If people behind you hear it, you will be killed."
"I'm worried about you!"
"I?"
Theo shook his head, showing that he had surpassed himself.
"Natsumi, only a young boy would be obsessed with that kind of thing. I have surpassed myself and am no longer obsessed with that kind of vulgar taste."
Xia Mi listened and swallowed.
I feel like I've been taught a lesson inexplicably.
"The so-called peeking at the girls in the adventure group just thinks that they are young and cute, which can just cater to the response of the body's hormones. But are beautiful girls really the only choice for hormones? Obviously not. The same little faces She has a thin waist, fair skin and long legs. She has no special features at all. Now, my hormones no longer react to that kind of little girl. It is no exaggeration to say that the three girls in the carriage have fallen behind the aesthetics of a normal villager. Come on. I saw that I didn’t even have the desire to rush. You should understand what I mean, right?"
Theo's eyes were as calm as water, and he looked over seriously.
"You know what the hell! You are no longer simply transcending vulgar taste, but you are transcending normal human aesthetics! Is it an aesthetic deformity caused by staying with a widow for a long time? Although your original aesthetics are very strange. But now even the physical performance must have been distorted!”
Xia Mi retorted in a low voice.
Do the three beautiful girls in the carriage look like that to Theo?
It's obviously still very attractive to him, but who is out of character?
"This is the difference between you and me, Xia Mi. The reason why I was able to escape from being a young boy so early, but you have never even kissed a girl on the mouth, is this. Resources for beautiful girls are always scarce, isn't it? Everyone can get it. When you understand my enlightenment, your paranoia about beautiful girls will be reduced or even disappear, and you will find that those resources that are not scarce are everywhere and are easily available."
"...In short, I think I can't get a beautiful girl, so my aesthetics have become alienated. After more than two months of vicious decline, I can't come back now, right?"
Xia Mi came to a conclusion.
"Hmph, that's an interesting summary of philosophy, Xia Mi. You have been herding sheep with me for so long, have you finally learned a lot from me?"
Xia Mi looked away.
After confirming this, Theo has completely lost interest in the beautiful girl.
In the car, the three girls looked strangely at the outside that was blocked by the car curtain.
"They are so noisy. What are they muttering about? I can't make out what they are saying at all."
In the square carriage, three girls sat on each side. The white-haired girl sitting on the left whispered.
"It must be exciting. The villagers are like this. They have never seen much of the world. They must be very happy to be able to travel."
The blond girl sitting inside spread her hands and said with conviction.
"Miss Lulea, we are going to fight against monsters."
"Yeah. I'm going to defeat monsters."
"You were obviously talking about traveling just now."
The elf girl blinked guiltily and quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, there is room in the carriage for one more person."
The magical girl sat on the right, with a calm expression on her face, and slowly took over Lulea's words.
"Forget it. Miss Lulea and Miss Lina don't want to be touched by strangers of the opposite sex where they sit."
Luleia and Lina: It doesn’t matter to Xia Mi, but not to humanoids!
"By the way, if we encounter demons, do we need to formulate any combat strategy?"
As a brave warrior with experience in defeating demon kings, Lina has never formed a team, but she has seen many scenes of teams working together to defeat monsters.
"If we cooperate, it will definitely be a lot easier."
"Indeed. Well, Lina, when the time comes, you will output from the front, and I will stand behind to ensure that the escape route is clear."
The blond elf held his chin and looked serious.
"Um!"
Can’t Bai Mao tell that Golden Retriever is cowardly?
Outside the carriage, after it became quiet, Xia Mi keenly heard the discussions among the girls.
"Don't worry, you can just go ahead." Saili raised the corner of his mouth easily, "As long as I'm here, you can attack with peace of mind."
What a safe guarantee.
Lulea and Lina looked over at the same time.
"Miss Saili..."
"In addition to knowing the magic that normal magicians know, I am also a shield magician." Saili explained simply.
"Shield magic? I've heard of shield magic, but I don't seem to have heard of this nickname."
Lulea frowned slightly.
"You will know then."
Saili was still smiling. Although the smile was very shallow, it revealed a very confident confidence.
…
night.
The five of them camped in a clearing somewhere in the woods.
According to the map, it would take until tomorrow morning to reach the destination, so the team decided to rest here for the night.
Although rations were prepared, considering that this opportunity was rare and wanting to get closer to Saili, Xia Mi cooked the barbecue himself.
"It's surprisingly good."
After tasting a small piece of barbecue, Saili, who was sitting by the fire, did not hesitate to praise it.
The barbecue made by Xia Mi has a unique aroma. Even if it is placed in San Carno City, it will probably have many fans.
On the surface, it sells barbecue, but secretly it is a middle-aged magician woman's juice stick, and it seems that she is also behind it!
"Miss Saili, please pay attention to me when the team is in danger."
Sai Li smiled softly.
"Don't worry~"
On the other side of the fire, the white-haired girl quickly put the barbecue into a lunchbox and trotted outside the camp.
"Everyone, I'm going to find Miss Lulea to change my shift."
The blond girl was sitting on the top of a tree in the woods, with the camp fifty meters behind her.
It is said to be guarding the camp, but with the spiritual protection array, there is no need for it.
It was entirely because the dinner was roasted meat, but the elf girl couldn't eat it.
So I ran out to avoid suffering.
"Miss Lulea?"
The blonde girl was biting the fruit, and the white-haired girl climbed up the tree and came to her side.
"Lina, what's wrong?"
"Hehe~ I brought some barbecue made by Xia Mi, do you want to eat it together?"
"Eh?"
Lina sat next to Lureia and opened the lunch box placed on her folded thighs. Inside was still warm barbecue.
"I thought if Miss Lulea could also eat barbecue, then this trip would be complete."
The white-haired girl had a smile on her face.
The blonde girl looked over with watery eyes.
"Lina!!"
"So loud!"
Big night.
Under the double shroud of the magic girl's perception magic array and the elf girl's spiritual protection array, the camp was extremely safe, and everyone returned to their tents to sleep.
There were five tents in total, one for each person, around the still-burning bonfire.
The whole forest fell silent, and the crackling sound of firewood burning was very clear.
But not everyone in the camp slept to death like Theo.
In a certain tent, the blond girl opened her eyes and slowly sat up.
Yes, as Lena said, a traveling night is incomplete without a barbecue and a night raid.
In the village, because she lived in a hotel and Xia Mi lived in his own villager's hut, the two had little chance of contact at night.
Today, this open campground is the best opportunity.
There was only a distance of less than ten meters between her and Xia Mi.
After waiting for so long, Xia Mi didn't come to attack her at night.
The girl had no choice but to go out in person to attack the devil at night.
It's not that I have any wrong thoughts, it's just that I never had the chance to meet Xia Mi, and I couldn't give him [self-purification].
If you sleep without [self-purification], you will definitely be uncomfortable sleeping.
If you are too embarrassed to beg her, 'Lady Lulea, please give me a [self-purification] so that I can sleep well', then she will reluctantly give it to you.
At night, the elf girl takes the initiative!
