After retiring, I became Loli’s magic mentor

"Lord Ryan, how did you do it? When we were processing the meat, we found that there was not much blood in the meat. Obviously the red-spotted lizard didn't bleed much when it died."

Oda Yuki said with a smile as he placed the large basket of meat skewers next to the bonfire. He patted his butt and was about to sit down next to Ryan, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Chiba Matsugiya, who was looking pretty in front of the bonfire.

"Uh...I'll put the meat skewers here, so I won't disturb you anymore."

Seeing this, Oda Yuki squatted on the spot, and then walked towards the bonfire where the caravan gathered, leaving Ryan and Matsugiya Chiba alone.

After Oda Yuki left, Ryan put the meat skewers on the bonfire and grilled them while continuing to ask Matsugiya Chiba:

"It's really not easy for you. I see that you seem to be shouldering such a heavy burden at a young age."

"I...I am seventeen years old..."

Hearing Ryan's question, Matsugiya Chiba subconsciously answered.

But after answering, Chiba Matsugiya realized that Mr. Lane didn't seem to ask my age. She couldn't help but hide half of her little face behind the red-spotted lizard's egg, blushing with embarrassment.

What's wrong with me...

Hearing Chiba Matsugiya suddenly reported her age, Ryan was stunned for a moment. Although Ryan was really curious about how old Chiba Matsugiya was, he didn't expect to find out so easily.

Seeing that Chiba Matsugiya was a little embarrassed, Ryan continued to bring up the topic: "Matsumiya Chiba, are you the only daughter?"

"No... I also have a sister who is the goddess of the shrine."

"Oh……"

Ryan nodded and asked curiously: "Your sister is a goddess, so what is your position in the shrine?"

"Me? There's nothing special about me. I'm just an ordinary shrine maiden in the shrine. But because I'm the daughter of the Palace Secretary, I often preside over some affairs."

Sitting in front of the bonfire, Matsugiya Chiba felt dizzy. She answered whatever Ryan asked without any attempt to hide it, as if she had put down all her guard against Ryan.

"The kebabs are grilled, come and taste them."

Ryan had been staring at the meat skewers on the bonfire. After seeing that the meat skewers were cooked, Ryan picked up the meat skewers, sprinkled some seasoning on them, and then handed them to Matsugiya Chiba.

"Thanks……"

Matsugiya Chiba took the meat skewer, put it to her mouth, and took a bite absentmindedly.

"Well!"

As a result, Chiba Matsugiya's small bite not only failed to bite off the meat, but instead felt a burning sensation coming from her lips, which made Chiba Matsugiya subconsciously widen her eyes.

Seeing Chiba Matsugiya being burned to the point of tears at the corners of her eyes, and having to hold back in order to maintain her image, Ryan couldn't help laughing:

"The meat of the red-spotted lizard is very tough, so you don't have to be in a hurry to eat it."

Matsugiya Chiba calmed down for a while, then looked at Ryan with a somewhat resentful look.

This Mr. Lane also has some bad intentions...

But that's fine. Ryan's evil side makes Matsugiya Chiba feel closer to Ryan.

In this way, Ryan was grilling meat skewers, Chiba Matsugiya was holding the egg of the red-spotted lizard, and the two were chatting without a word.

Although he and Chiba Matsugiya had only known each other for a day, Ryan had already spoken more to Chiba Matsugiya than to the entire caravan combined.

In the final analysis, Ryan still doesn't like to talk too much with the stinky men in the caravan, and he feels more comfortable with Chiba Matsugiya...

Unknowingly, Ryan and Chiba Matsugiya were full. Oda Yuki stepped forward and said to Ryan:

"Lord Ryan, it's time to put out the bonfire."

Warcraft is different from wild beasts. If wild beasts see a bonfire at night, they may become wary and not dare to approach.

But if the Warcraft sees the bonfire, it will be like a mad cow seeing the red cloth, rushing towards the bonfire risking its life.

Therefore, when camping in Minggao territory, the campfire must be extinguished.

Ryan nodded, stood up, extinguished the bonfire, and said to everyone: "You can rest separately. I will keep vigil tonight."

Oda Yuki was startled for a moment: "Master Ryan, you'd better have a good rest..."

"Need not."

Ryan waved his hand: "Not sleeping all night will not affect me, but you guys must have a good rest at night, so as not to delay tomorrow's schedule."

Although Ryan was telling the truth, everyone in the caravan unanimously believed that Ryan was worried about their safety, and everyone was extremely moved.

Even Chiba Matsugiya thought so, and couldn't help but whisper in her heart. If we only saw the scene where Mr. Lane killed the monster, it would be really hard to imagine that Mr. Lane was such a gentle person...

The bonfire was extinguished, the moonlight was blocked by drifting clouds, and the world fell into darkness.

Everyone in the caravan rested one after another. After seeing Ryan killing the monsters during the day, the people in the caravan naturally felt at ease under Ryan's vigil, and soon fell asleep.

Ryan sat on the grass and meditated quietly. The evening breeze blew by, giving Ryan a sense of tranquility that he had not seen for a long time.

It seems like I haven’t calmed down and thought about things like this for a long time...

Suddenly, Ryan heard a slight movement behind him and couldn't help but get up and walk over.

Soon, Ryan found the source of the sound - it was Chiba Matsugiya holding the red-spotted lizard's egg, her delicate body trembling slightly in the evening breeze.

Because they were afraid of attracting attention, the caravan didn't even set up tents, and there were no such things as sleeping bags, so everyone simply lay down on the grass to sleep.

The caravan was all men, all of them had rough skin and thick flesh, and wore thick clothes, so they were not afraid of the cold.

Chiba Matsugiya was wearing a thin miko uniform. The miko uniform was torn several times, leaving Chiba Matsugiya's fair skin exposed. It was strange that she wasn't cold.

Ryan subconsciously wanted to set up a magic circle on the grass to keep the environment warm.

But after thinking about it, Ryan felt that it was inappropriate, so he simply took out the khaki cloak that Kyle gave him, engraved a cold-resistant magic circle on it, and covered Chiba Matsugiya.

After the cloak was covered on her body, Chiba Matsugiya felt that her whole body was enveloped in warmth. Her delicate body gradually stopped trembling, and she opened her eyes hazily. She saw Ryan's face at the first glance:

"Mr. Lane, thank you..."

Hearing this, Ryan nodded: "Have a good rest. You should be able to return to Minggao tomorrow night."

"Um……"

Chiba Matsugiya suddenly smiled sweetly, then closed her eyes and her breathing gradually calmed down.

But even if he closed his eyes, the heroic figure of Ryan killing the two red-spotted lizards during the day was still vivid in Chiba Matsugiya's mind.
