"Why didn't they come back..."
Miku looked at the direction An Yinhao and the others were leaving and murmured.
Jia Yueru next to her couldn't help but hold her forehead: "You have repeated this sentence no less than thirty times in these ten minutes."
Miku blushed and defended himself: "I-amn't I worried about them?"
"Isn't it too much to worry, silly girl?" Jia Yueru said helplessly, "Forget about Ran Zhe, do you think the Yin Hao you know will let something happen quietly?"
"..." Miku said nothing, but there was a hint of worry on his face.
Although she also thought that An Yinhao would be fine, Miku was still a little worried when Shirai said it was so serious.
"This is in the game!" Jia Yueru couldn't help but knock Miku on the head, "Even if something happens to them, at most they will be reborn at the resurrection point, and they can't really die."
"...Yes."
The incomparable experience along the way made Miku subconsciously forget that this was just a virtual game. Out of concern for An Yinhao and the others, she also ignored the fact that under the elf appearance, the original height difference between her and Jia Yueru no longer existed. .
By the way, Miku's height is about 1.6 meters, while Jia Yueru is about 1.7 meters tall.
"How about... let's go over and have a look?"
"no!!"
As soon as Miku plucked up the courage to speak, Mikoto sternly rejected her, making her shrink back in fear.
Mikoto said seriously: "Forget it about two boys, but you two are absolutely not allowed to go there!"
Perhaps because she felt that what she said was too harsh, Mikoto softened her tone: "Listen to my sister, the scene over there is really not acceptable to you. Can you stay here?"
Mikoto had already mentioned this, and Miku could only nod. Jia Yueru, who wasn't interested at all, just responded casually, but after seeing the other person's face darken, she quickly straightened her expression.
Shaking her head helplessly, Mikoto looked at Shirai, hesitated and said, "Why have those two children been gone for so long? Can I go over and take a look?"
Although she spoke harshly to Miku, Meiqin was also a little worried about An Yinhao and Lin Ranzhe. Originally, in her mind, these two bold boys would be scared away after just one look, but after more than ten minutes there was still no response, which made her worried.
It wasn't that they were worried about physical injuries. After all, this was a game, so physical injuries were fine. Mikoto was mainly worried that the two boys would be psychologically traumatized. Psychological injuries are much more troublesome to treat than physical injuries.
"Don't worry." Shirai figured out what Mikoto was thinking in an instant and said with a smile, "They are not little sheep, but wolves who don't like meat... Well, I think they haven't eaten meat yet."
Mikoto instantly understood the meaning of Shirai's words, but because she understood, she didn't understand even more.
Thinking of Shirai's identity, Mikoto asked tentatively: "They..."
Shirai shook his head: "Unlike me, they are naturally very adaptable."
"...No, this makes me want to go take a look even more!" Meiqin walked towards the direction An Yinhao and the others left, "Being adaptable depends on the environment. In such a situation...if they are put in a situation like this... What to do if there is a detour!”
Shirai grabbed Mikoto with a gentle smile on his face: "After all these years, you still can't change your character. How about trusting those two children? If it doesn't work, you can always trust me!"
"You idiot! Are those things that can make them adapt?!" Mikoto's eyebrows showed a trace of anger, "Even we can't easily accept the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere!"
"Don't worry, listen to me."
Shirai pulled Mikoto into his arms, smiled at Miku and Jia Yueru who looked over in confusion, and whispered in Mikoto's ear.
"According to the current situation, Yinhao will protect the little princess in the future. It is not a bad thing to let him train himself as soon as possible."
"Protect Miku?" Mikoto frowned, not understanding what he was talking about, "With you here, will Miku be in danger?"
"I can't protect her for the rest of her life, and neither can the teacher and the others. Miku will grow up sooner or later. Only her partner can always protect her... Yinhao is currently the most likely and I think the most reliable candidate." Shirai suddenly slumped. Slumping his shoulders, "Besides, I'm just taking precautions. And this is in a game, so it's the most ideal training environment, isn't it?"
"..."
Mikoto seemed to be convinced by Shirai, but after Shirai let go, she glared at him dissatisfied.
"How many things are you hiding from me?"
"I have told you everything, but I didn't take you to see the teachers and the others. The rest can only rely on your understanding..." Shirai smiled softly at Mikoto, "If I didn't tell you everything, you You won’t follow me here, will you?”
"……snort!"
Mikoto blushed slightly and snorted coldly.
"That's it! But!" Mikoto pointed her white index finger at Shirai's nose, "I will never allow Miku and Yueru to pass by. I will not compromise on this!"
Shirai smiled and glanced aside: "Of course, of course..."
"hiss--"
A strong gaze suddenly entered his sight, and Shirai's expression suddenly changed. At the same time, Mikoto, Miku, and Jia Yueru all noticed the dazzling light spreading from the woods not far away.
"That's...the direction Yinhao and the others are going!" Jia Yueru said immediately.
When his eyes noticed the status bar that suddenly popped up, Shirai's expression froze, and then he showed an interested look.
"Little princess, you two stay here first."
As soon as Shirai finished speaking, he disappeared.
Mikoto was stunned for a moment and stamped her foot angrily.
"You must stay here. I'll go take a look first and come back to you later!" After telling her again, Mikoto turned around and ran towards the depths of the forest.
Miku and Jia Yueru slowly came to their senses.
"..."
The two looked at each other, a little at a loss for a moment.
Miku looked at the place where the light was emitting, and then remembered Mikoto's instructions. There was obvious confusion on his cute little face.
"what should we do?"
Jia Yueru glanced at the place where Miqin left, her mind turned to Mikoto's instructions, and then she looked at Miku who was like a child who didn't know whether to follow her own ideas or listen to adults, and was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, Jia Yueru showed Miku a smile as big as the sun.
"gone!"
"Eh?! Wait..."
Holding Miku's hand, Jia Yueru ran towards the light source, leaving only Miku's helpless cry.
…………
As Mikoto ran, she said angrily: "Idiot! Idiot! You actually use space to move?! How dare you leave me?!!!"
As she got closer to the place shrouded in light, Mikoto's running pace became slower and slower, until finally, the scene in front of her made her stop...
Blood, residual limbs, minced meat... began to gather together as if going back in time, gradually forming human shapes one by one...
A scene that went beyond common sense violently impacted Mikoto's brain.
"This is...what happened!!"
The heroic beautiful eyes suddenly widened.
