"That is...this time, you didn't follow?"
In the narrow room, the blue woman who closed the door leaned against the corner of the wall, folded her arms and asked: "You failed again?"
"Ninglan understands what sir is thinking now." Faced with the other party's doubts, the maid holding a broom still kept smiling: "So... Ninglan is not sad at all."
"What do you think now...it has nothing to do with me in the first place." Xu Yu Liushang chuckled: "I just want to find him as soon as possible."
"Ninglan has no such intention."
The maid bowed slightly: "Ninglan is also very supportive of sister's plan, but..."
"OK OK."
Looking at the red girl who was standing at a loss, she murmured and raised her hand to interrupt the other person's words: "Since you are so soft-hearted, then... I'll do it myself."
"He went to the West City Gate, right?"
In the head of the maid, the blue woman lowered her head and exhaled a long breath, then picked up the sword she had just put down, turned around and walked out of the place, leaving only Ningyu Ninglan who still maintained a smile, and the still smiling
The confused red girl.
"She, she..." After her lips trembled for a long time, Qian Zhihe slowly raised a finger: "What kind of attitude does she have!"
"Most of the people here are not ordinary people." The maid glanced at the girl, and then continued her cleaning work. It seemed that she did not intend to give any more explanations: "...except for the group leader."
"If you want to join our adventure group, you... still need to be fully mentally prepared."
"No, no, that woman just now..."
Thinking of the way the other party looked at her when she first entered the room, Qianzhihe, who felt inexplicable pressure, once again took back what she wanted to blurt out: "Uh... I mean, she, she, she looked at me like that
What are you doing..."
"Based on the current situation, Sister Qianzhihe... you are not yet a member of our adventure group." The sound of sweeping the floor surrounded Ningyu Ninglan: "So... you who are still here now, will cause trouble?
Other people’s misunderstandings.”
"……snort."
Some pictures appeared in his mind, and Qian Zhihe, who finally reacted, let out a groan from his pointed nose, then crossed his arms and ran to the side: "I don't want it, in my dictionary...
But there are no words like "give up!" When will your group leader come back? I want to talk to her personally!"
"It may take some time for the leader to return. The specific time... Ninglan can't be sure. If you must wait..."
"……All right."
The red girl looked at the person who was cleaning the room with her head fixedly for a while, then responded with a dull sound, and slowly sat on the ground against the corner. She hugged her knees in a low voice, seeming to be thinking about something.
, but after a while she got rid of this depressed mood, and began to look forward to the bright future in her imagination. At the same time, she also had a leisurely mind, and began to look at the room she had been to twice. Because it was decorated like an office
As for the layout, the only chair in the room has been brought and placed behind the wooden table, and there is no resting furniture in the rest of the place. This makes the girl sitting on the ground feel quite unhappy, but looking at the man holding the
The maid who seemed to have never stopped cleaning the broom, her mood gradually changed, because ever since she started her work as a housework, the maid's beautiful face has always maintained a moving smile.
With nothing to do, she started asking questions of her own.
"You...no, it's your adventure group...who is there now?"
"Currently, there are five people in our Fool's Adventure Group. You should know this." The maid with her head lowered quietly replied: "In addition to the few people you met yesterday, there is also a person named Xiao Hongchen.
You haven’t seen it yet.”
"Laughing... laughing at Hongchen? This name seems not to be as high as mine..."
Secretly curling his lips, Qian Zhihe looked at the low ceiling and began to recall the scene in the wooden house by the river last night: "Then... where is that uncle? The one called the Smiling Butcher..."
"...According to the leader and others, the Smiling Butcher and...another player were originally members of the adventure group." The maid replied with a smile: "But later, due to various reasons, they all left."
"In this sense, they can also be regarded as the founders of this adventure group."
"Um……"
A long final note came out of her nose, and the girl looked at the maid who was spinning the broom in front of her: "Well, when did you come to this group?"
"Sister Xuyu Liuzhang and I found this place later." Ciyu Ninglan whispered: "I'm glad that the leader can take a fancy to us and let us join here."
"Now that I think about it... Ninglan is really lucky."
"This, this..." the girl asked cautiously: "Are...the rules for joining your adventure group...difficult?"
"Well..."
Stopping her cleaning, the maid, who was leaning on the ground with one hand, straightened up slightly, and put the fingers of the other hand on her chin: "Ninglan originally thought that Captain Mengzhu was a very talkative person, but now it seems
Looks like...she is not a team leader who leaves her team members alone."
"That, that..." The girl rubbed her hands uneasily, and looked at the other person secretly: "Is there any tricks? For example, what does she like and what does she hate..."
"Ninglan doesn't know."
The maid looked at the other person for a while, then showed a bright smile.
"Hey, forget it..."
The girl hugged her knees again, and then fell into an unspeakable silence. It was not until the maid who seemed to be immersed in cleaning finally put down the broom in her hand that she asked the next question in a dull voice: "You...you are now
Where are you doing all the activities?”
"If you are referring to activities organized in the game such as killing monsters and upgrading, we don't have any activities."
"……ah?"
"Aside from making money and talking about business, the leader usually doesn't care about us much." Ningyu Ninglan picked up a rag that came out of nowhere and began to wipe the square table in the corner: "So we usually have free time.
More time.”
"This, this...then how do you become stronger? No, before this...how did you survive? Aren't the prices of things here very high?"
"Survival is nothing to us." The maid answered with a slight smile: "Even the leader who travels back and forth just likes to make money."
"..."
The girl who was speechless once again looked at the other party steadily for a long time, and seemed to have lost the focus of her eyes: "Your adventure group is really amazing..."
"Our adventure group is not famous at all now." The maid shook her head slightly: "We don't even have a station. We can only stay in this room every day... However, Ninglan is still very satisfied."
"It doesn't matter whether it's a good place or a good person." He showed a bright smile again, and whispered to Ninglan in a low voice: "Ninglan will try his best to protect them."
Perhaps because she didn't know how to respond, the red girl fell silent again, and with her eyes buried between her knees, she quietly looked at the maid player who was happily cleaning the room, seeming to be thinking about what she had just done.
words, and the significance of this player dressed like this appearing here. The maid who was still busy seemed to have no intention of caring about the other party, but wiped everything in the room in an orderly manner and tidied it up again
He glanced at the potted plants placed in the corner and the documents on the wooden table, and then, in the sunshine near noon, he took out a tea set as if by magic and placed it on the square table in the corner with elegant movements.
"you……"
With the girl's eyes widened, Ciyu Ninglan brewed the liquid in the teacups in a few seconds, and then slowly brought it to her: "Sister Qianzhihe... do you want to taste it?"
"No, no, that, that..."
"This is a drink developed in Blue Island. It tastes like black tea." Looking at the flustered girl, Ciyu Ninglan smiled even sweeter: "Please feel free to taste it."
"No, no, no, I won't taste such high-end things." The girl smiled dryly and waved her hand: "It's better not to waste it..."
"Hey, is Sister Qianzhihe already hungry?" Ningyu Ninglan looked at the other party in confusion: "Or... you still don't like Ninglan's skills?"
"No, no, I don't mean that." The smile on the red girl's face became stiffer: "That, that... By the way, I'm just hungry. You see, it's already noon, and it's almost time. Hahahaha...
…”
"...In that case, Ninglan should prepare some lunch."
The maid looked at the other party for a while, then slowly straightened up: "Why are you also a guest now? We can't neglect you..."
"...Ah?" The red girl jumped up hastily: "No... No, no, no! I am not an outsider..."
"If Mr. Qingshan finds out, he might blame Ninglan." The maid who seemed to ignore him turned around and walked out of the room, her voice becoming more and more distant: "According to Ninglan's understanding, you also have a big appetite.
…”
"Wait, wait a minute!" The red girl stood there stunned for a second, then picked up her robe and chased out: "I can just do it myself!"
*********************
No one else knew what happened at the end of the lunch, but the girl named Qian Zhihe did not come back. Dozens of minutes later, the smiling maid returned to the place calmly and looked around the room.
He put away all the things in the room, put away the cold tea cups, and then stood quietly in the corner of the room, like a standing goddess statue, quietly waiting for the next person to arrive. It didn't take long.
, Mengzhu, who was wearing black leather armor, opened the door furiously and burst into the room full of energy: "Hello, home! What's going on today...eh?"
"Why are you the only one?" The girl shouted dissatisfied: "Where is Uncle Qingshan? I didn't let him..."
"Mr. Qingshan went out to do a mission." The maid opened her eyes and replied with a smile: "He hasn't come back yet."
"Why did he go out again?"
The pouting girl walked slowly to the center of the room, and then sat behind the wooden table. She held her chin and thought for a while, and unconsciously picked up a stack of documents from the pile with one hand: "
Hmm...how are things going today? Has anyone come to the door?"
"So far, only one person has been here." Ciyu Ninglan replied: "Mr. Qingshan has already talked with him, and the other party... will consider it again."
"...Well, after all, it was a temporary idea, so we can't expect too much." The girl turned over the pages that Duan Qing had already flipped through before: "Then these...are all from before?"
"Yes, Mr. Qingshan and I have sorted it out a bit." The maid smiled and said, "The commissions and work currently undertaken by our adventure group are all here now."
"What about the rest?"
"Sister Xuyu Liushang has gone out, probably to complete some of the commissions. Mr. Xiao Hongchen...has not come back yet."
"That guy...probably went to another place to run wild again."
Finding a piece of bread from the bag behind his back, Mengzhu curled his lips helplessly: "Where is Uncle Qingshan? Where has he gone?"
"West City Gate." Ninglan replied quickly, "But whether it's still there now... Ninglan can't be sure."
"...Hmph, if I find out that he is lazy again or gets into trouble, let's see how I deal with him!"
After finishing this sentence full of resentment, the girl began to check the documents on the table while chewing the food in her hand, confirming the existing commissions and tasks of the adventure group. The silent maid still stood behind her with a smile, trying her best to
He maintained the tranquility in the room, and then when the other party was about to finish eating, he once again took out his own set of teacups like a magic trick: "My lord, the leader."
"Um...thank you."
Subconsciously taking the tea cup, the girl nodded in response, and then continued to look at the things on the table while drinking tea: "The goods in Fenghua Town... seem to be far away.
, the defense recruitment of the city guard...who would do such a thankless thing! Collecting foxtail grass...where does this kind of grass grow?"
"In the Feron Plains, Commander."
"It's a war-torn area... No wonder the bid is so high." So the girl threw it aside again: "Let them go to the imperial people to buy it."
Time passed slowly with such exchanges, until when the sun began to set, the girl with her golden braid hanging down on the table finally panted and turned through all the pages: "Huh - why are there so many?"
Ah, and it’s all so trivial..."
"There are some commissions that you and Mr. Xiao Hongchen have accumulated in the past, and they have expired... We have disposed of them all." Ningyu Ninglan, who was still standing behind him, replied with a smile: "The remaining ones... are from the association.
Daily commissions hanging in the hall.”
"What? Are you following them all?" Mengzhu said in shock: "If we can't finish it, we will be scolded by Freestone! If we don't make it right, we will be demoted..."
"Anyway, there is no worse outcome, so what if we take them all in?"
There was a slight smile in the maid's answer: "These are Mr. Aoyama's original words."
"Damn uncle..." The girl gritted her teeth: "But there is some truth..."
"There are still some tasks that Ninglan and Xu Yuliu have done, and we have not included them." The maid continued to introduce: "Mr. Qingshan... we should be able to solve it ourselves."
"I also agree with this." Mengzhu nodded with satisfaction: "You two are quite good. I have searched all over the free world and I probably can't find a better player than you. Alas..."
"Sometimes I suspect that I am dreaming." She raised her head and said, "What's so good about our adventure group, why do we let you join in..."
"We are not the only ones who want to come in." Ciyu Ninglan did not answer her question, but instead raised a finger: "Like Sister Qianzhihe this morning..."
boom!
The door was pushed open again, and the two people whose conversation was interrupted looked up and saw a figure with a large sword dragging his body walking in unsteadily.
"I knew...that guy would be up to no good when he came to me."
Looking at the two women looking at each other, Duan Qing said slightly tiredly. (To be continued.)
