Shana's unhesitating rejection came from the room.
"Shana?"
Fang Qiubai looked at the door in confusion, wondering what was going on with Shana.
"I'm so bored! I'm so bored! I said I have no time!"
As a result, this sound triggered a series of complaints from Shana.
"Okay, then I'll leave first. Wilhelmina is very worried about you. Remember to tell us if anything happens!"
Fang Qiubai smiled bitterly, shook his head, raised his voice and prepared to leave.
"wait wait wait!"
The door suddenly opened, Shana leaned out, grabbed Fang Qiubai and dragged her in.
"Xia, Xia Na?"
Now it was Fang Qiubai's turn to be at a loss. After being dragged into the room, he looked at Xia Na who was blushing and shouted cautiously.
"What did Wilemina tell you?"
Xia Na didn't know why, but she looked even more nervous than Fang Qiubai.
"Will Emina is just worried that you have used some bad methods to improve your strength too quickly, but you didn't tell her, so she came to ask me."
Fang Qiubai shook his head and walked aside to sit down and explain.
"So, I'll let you tell Wilhelmina."
Alastair suddenly interrupted and said, it seemed that Shana didn't want to tell Wil Amina for some reason.
, Alastair also said it was invalid.
"Xia Na? Why don't you tell Will Amina?"
Fang Qiubai felt very puzzled by Shana's choice.
"I'm so annoyed, I'm so annoyed, I'm so annoyed, I need you to take care of it!"
As a result, Xia Na, who seemed calm just now, immediately started screaming again with a red face and claws.
"Forehead..."
Fang Qiubai covered his forehead and didn't know what to say for a moment, nor did he know how to irritate this arrogant girl again.
"Xia Na, calm down."
In the end, it was Alastair who stopped Shana.
"I think it is necessary to tell Fang Qiubai about this."
After Shana calmed down, Alastair continued.
Hearing what Alastair said, Shana had the urge to jump up again.
"Shaina!"
Alastair had to speak seriously again to calm Shana down.
"But, Alastair..."
Although Shana calmed down under Alastair's shout, she still wanted to protest unwillingly.
"Xia Na, you will have to face this sooner or later, so why not explain it clearly now?"
Alastair seemed to understand Shana's worries, so he comforted her like a child.
"..."
Xia Na sat on the stool opposite Fang Qiubai with a sullen face and stopped talking.
"As for the issue of Shana's strength improvement, she told me, and I think it is necessary for you to listen to it, although the child is a little embarrassed."
Seeing that Fang Qiubai had a listening expression on his face and Shana stopped making noises, Alastair spoke slowly.
"Then what's going on with Shana's strength? There's nothing really wrong with it, right?"
Before Alastair finished speaking, Fang Qiubai asked nervously.
"Of course not. Speaking of which, this has something to do with you, so I need to let you know."
Alastair said with some emotion.
"Say it, I'm listening!"
Fang Qiubai nodded, ready to hear what was going on. If it was a system upgrade, Shana's strength had improved before.
"You also know that Shana is my contractor. As a noble person, her strength can actually be improved to be equal to mine. However, when she first came here, her strength was still quite weak."
Alastair did not explain directly, but instead told it like a story.
"I think you have seen the next progress. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that in the past many years, Wilhelmina and I have failed very much in cultivating Shana. The progress of Shana with a name can be said to be
It's quite good. When she was ambushed, her strength instantly increased because she wanted to protect her companions."
Fang Qiubai scratched his head in distress and looked at Shana, who was sitting quietly beside him.
"I know all this, but does it matter?"
"Simply put, as a human named Shana, Shana's strength improves much faster than as a crusader with burning eyes and a pure fire mist warrior. This also makes us understand that feelings can make a person
A person can do things that she ordinarily cannot do.”
Hearing what Alastair said, Shana blushed and lowered her head, but did not speak.
"The next thing I want to say is that even I didn't realize that Shana's strength had quietly improved to this level, so after communicating with Shana in private, I found out the reason, and this reason can be said to have a lot to do with you.
Relationship!"
Hearing this, Fang Qiubai's heart started to rise again, and he carefully looked at the pendant where Alastair was sitting, waiting for what would happen next.
"Alastair!"
Shana suddenly raised her head and interrupted Alastair's words.
"I'll have to speak for myself!"
As if she had made a huge determination, Shana clenched her fists and said seriously.
Alastair sighed in surprise and readily agreed to the request.
"Shana?"
Fang Qiubai looked at Shana confused, not knowing what she wanted to say.
"Don't look at me!"
Xia Na stretched out her hand and moved Fang Qiubai's head to the side without forgetting to say.
Almost hearing a snapping sound from his own neck, Fang Qiubai shouted loudly.
"I understand, I don't want to look at it, don't do it or it will break!"
"snort!"
Shana then sat up straight, adjusted her posture a few times unnaturally, and then spoke softly.
"Actually, I didn't know why this happened, but suddenly, I felt that my strength had improved."
"ha?"
Fang Qiubai didn't expect to get such an answer, and let out a cry of surprise. He didn't understand why Shana wouldn't want to tell Wilhelmina such an answer, and Alastair was so serious about it.
"Shut up!"
Xia Na slapped Fang Qiubai angrily, and then she continued speaking angrily.
"Later, Alastair also asked me this question, and I didn't know how to answer it."
"But Alastair seemed to know the reason for this, so under his guidance, I also understood why!"
Shana suddenly stopped here and stared at Fang Qiubai deeply. It wasn't until Fang Qiubai was a little embarrassed that Shana spoke.
"Alastair told me that this is because of feelings!"
"Emotions? What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Fang Qiubai suddenly looked at Shana and asked in surprise.
"I have never been very strong. When you have more and more companions, I become even weaker."
Shana did not answer, but continued talking.
"It doesn't matter whether you are strong or weak. Xiaoya is not weaker, and speaking of it, I am the weakest!"
Fang Qiubai thought that he could understand the frustration that Xia Na, who wanted to be strong, felt when she found out that she was weak.
"No, you don't understand. I'm not afraid that I can't compare to others!"
Shana immediately interrupted Fang Qiubai's words and continued under Fang Qiubai's questioning eyes.
Hearing what Xia Na said, Fang Qiubai had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and listen carefully.
"I am not afraid that I am weaker than others, because as long as I work hard, I will become stronger. But what I am worried about is that I am not strong enough and cannot keep up."
"Can't keep up with the pace?"
Fang Qiubai repeated doubtfully.
"When I first went on a mission with Xiaoya, I was unable to protect her because of my lack of strength."
"Although I successfully broke through a hurdle that time, as the companions who arrived became stronger and stronger, I found that my strength was insufficient again."
Shana said and suddenly grabbed Fang Qiubai.
"I'm not envious of others who are stronger than me!"
Fang Qiubai looked at Xia Na who looked nervous in a funny way. Although he really wanted to ask, it was clear that this was what you said, but thinking of Xia Na's arrogant character, he wisely chose to remain silent.
"Later Xiaoya was injured. In order to prevent you from encountering a similar situation again, I decided to train you, but... later I found that it was no longer needed. With the strength of other companions, nothing could threaten you at all.
.”
"Later, when I faced the Soul Eater, I completely felt like this. If my strength doesn't improve, I won't be able to keep up with your progress."
Seeing Shana talking about her worries in a serious manner, Fang Qiubai couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and patted Shana on the head.
"What are you thinking about? You see, Xiaoya's strength is not very high, and Bell's strength is average, but no one is thinking like this. Besides, what does it mean to not be able to keep up? We will not treat them differently based on their strength.
companion!"
Xia Na rarely resisted, but looked at Fang Qiubai with hesitation.
"Fang Qiubai, you also know that I have always been with Shana."
Fang Qiubai's hands couldn't help but tremble when Alastair spoke suddenly.
"Of course I know that."
He didn't know what Alastair wanted to say, so Fang Qiubai answered honestly.
"Of course I know that you like Shana. Do you have any questions?"
As a result, Alastair said something serious that made both people present blush.
"Uh...yeah."
Fang Qiubai was a little embarrassed at first, but when he saw Shana's blushing but expectant eyes, he immediately nodded seriously.
"Although I noticed it very early, Shana has never been clear about this emotion called liking, so she has always been confused. And I am not good at this aspect, so I never spoke until Shana asked her several times later.
Personally, it wasn't until Ilya talked with her for a long time that she gradually understood this feeling. And it is precisely because of this that Shana is worried that she will not be able to keep up with you!"
Alastair was also helpless. He had to intervene in the matter of the two young people to make it clear. The famous devil actually acted like a matchmaker, but who made one of them the same as his own daughter.
"What do you mean?"
Although Fang Qiubai knew that Xia Na should have a good impression of him, he didn't expect to hear the news so soon.
"Yes, it's annoying. I'm just worried that I won't be able to be by your side in the future, so I'm satisfied with the sudden and inexplicable increase in my strength!"
Xia Na, who was already very shy, heard Fang Qiubai's question and immediately shouted in embarrassment, slapping her hands in front of Fang Qiubai.
"So, you don't want to tell Wil Amina?"
Fang Qiubai grabbed Shana's hand, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his face.
"I'm so annoyed, I'm so annoyed, how can I say this!"
The answer to him was still Shana's shy and angry shout.
