Violet Orchestra

They returned to the carriage. Elaine insisted that she was covered in dust, and she was afraid of soiling their carriage, so she sat in the driver's seat and drove the carriage with Hodge towards Desnope.

"Look, even the little guys you pick up on the road are so polite, and you still make a mess in the car all day long." Petra whispered, motioning Violet to look at his pile of bottles with rather disgusting eyes Can Can, "Can't you accept it, and tell everyone that you have a make-up addiction?"

"It's like picking up a dog..." Birkins reluctantly took the water bag, poked his head out and asked Elaine, "Do you want water or food? We also have some simple dry food."

Young people are always hungry. He thanked the kind man Birkins, took the dry food and water and started to gobble it up, as if he hadn't eaten all day.From the gap in the lifted car curtain, Violet could see half of his chin, his short hair that was trimmed randomly but shiny black, and a small section of his sun-tanned neck exposed between the hair and the light armor.He obviously didn't intend to look at it, but he was inexplicably attracted by the contagious eating of the other party, and couldn't help asking: "Elaine, how long have you not eaten?"

"Well," the young man said, swallowing a mouthful of dry bread, "it's been almost two days. I've been hiding from those who chased and killed me, and I didn't dare to take the time to buy food..."

No wonder you're so hungry, Violet said clearly, "We'll be at Dysnope soon, you can eat less."

What he means is that he can go to the town to find a restaurant to eat. After all, the food in any tavern must taste better than the dry bread that has been left in the car for a day or two. They usually wait until they are not too hungry. Only the nearest villages and towns buy food, whoever tastes the taste of dry bread will know...

But Elaine seemed to remember something, and suddenly apologized: "Did I eat your spare food? I'm sorry, I will buy new ones to make up for it after I withdraw the money."

"..." Why is this child's brain circuit so tortuous, Violet is speechless.

"He meant to invite you to dinner." Hodge smiled and tricked him, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and said to Elaine, "Our leader is a very good person, seeing that you are young, I am afraid that you will starve It’s okay, just leave the unpalatable bread to a few of us wage earners.”

"Hi." Violet's face darkened, "Hodge, what nonsense are you talking about..."

Anyway, Elaine would be separated from them soon, and he didn't think the young man would say anything unfavorable to them, so he called Hodge directly by his name.Relying on the presence of strangers, this guy thinks that he dare not argue with him——

"Captain?" Before Hodge could speak, Elaine blinked first, "What... what do you guys do?"

There was no malice in his question, but Petra was already vigilant: "We are just a group of adventurers passing by."

She has always been wary of strangers, especially if they are unknown.Hodge knew he had said something wrong, so he lowered his head and drove away in despair. Elaine also realized that her question offended the other party, so she apologized and stopped talking.

They quickly entered Desnope, and Elaine led them to the Adventurer's Guild, and withdrew some gold coins from the counter.The number was not much, only a dozen or so, and the value was far less than his pendant, but Elaine didn't seem to care about her savings, and directly poured the gold coins into Violet's palm.

"Thank you for saving me." He repeated sincerely.

Holding the gold coin, Violet didn't know what to say, and finally found an excuse to change the subject: "Let's go eat something."

It was the first time he saw such an overly polite person, and it was hard to imagine that an adventurer who was crawling and rolling outside could be as innocent as a child who went out for the first time—this made him a little ashamed.

They sat down in a small tavern in Desnope. Elaine looked really hungry. After nibbling dry bread, she actually ate a lot. Finally, she hiccupped and raised her head. Showing a shy smile to Violet.

"If you don't have enough, you can eat more." Violet was very generous with all his savings.

"No need, I have to go back to the guild to see if there are any suitable tasks." The young man stood up, thanked them one by one, then turned to Violet with a shy smile, "Thank you, leader Mr. I hope to have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

Violet also smiled, and returned his handkerchief to him: "You're welcome, young adventurer."

Petra showed meaningful eyes, and the way she looked at Elaine changed a little.When the young man left from the door of the tavern, she picked up the ale in front of her and touched Violet's glass: "Don't look, since you like it, why let him go?"

"Too young, I always feel like I'm bullying a child." Violet shrugged, "And if he likes the look of 'Master Davis', surely he won't like me?"

"Isn't it the difference between a little greasy and a little wavy? I think it's similar." Hodge laughed.

"roll."

They had a good meal, and then booked a room in a hotel on the other side of the town, planning to rest for the night before leaving.Birkins soon left the team to follow Elaine, Petra remained in the room, and Violet and Hodge went out separately.

Violet changed his outfit, not his "Master Davies" look, and in a town like Desnope, it's not good to change your appearance frequently-it would make him even worse. striking.Fortunately, this face is not bad, although it is a bit oily as Hodge said, but at least it is good-looking. Not long after, Violet picked up a boy in the tavern and bought him two drinks.

The teenager also has black hair, but he is obviously not as innocent as the Elaine he met during the day.He unbuttoned his shirt a few times, revealing his smooth chest, with a drunken flush on his face, and would even whisper flirtatious words in Violet's ear.Violet was also slightly drunk, and after a few words, he was a little tickled by him, and was about to invite him to do something, but suddenly found someone standing in front of their table.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked casually without looking up.

There was no response from the other party, and Violet raised his head suspiciously, and met a handsome and young face.

It took him a while to remember the other party's name, and he felt a little dizzy while holding the wine glass: "... Elaine?"

"It's me." The young man stretched out his hand to support him, and glanced at the boy who was still sticking to him just now, and the latter quickly got up and gave him his seat, "Mr. Captain, are you okay? I need to take you back ..."

"I didn't come out to play, Elaine." Violet smiled while holding his forehead, and then winked at the boy standing aside, "To be exact, I came out to play, but not The kind of play you want, understand?"

Elaine looked at Violet awkwardly, as if she didn't expect the other party to answer him like this. After hesitating for a while, she mustered up the courage to hold his hand: "I...I have something to talk to you about."

Violet raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

Elaine's expression was a bit strange. He didn't seem to care, but he also murmured in his heart: This kid will not ask him to return the gold coin, right?

The young man was restrained and polite, standing upright like a sapling, which seemed a little out of place in the tavern. He stood there awkwardly, as if he had made up his mind, he picked Violet up and walked out. I didn't forget to say something to the stunned boy: "Sorry for the interruption."

"What are you doing?" Violet was also stunned, "We're not in this relationship—"

Elaine carried him out of the tavern without hearing anything, and ran as fast as someone was chasing after her. Violet could only hear the wind whistling in her ears, and buried her face in his arms, but couldn't see anything.Elaine ran through several streets, attracted the attention of countless people, and finally crossed the bushes and turned into a hidden alley, and then carefully placed Violet in the wooden boxes piled up against the wall superior.

Violet's spirit had been numb during the running, and he came back to his senses when he stepped on the ground, and looked up at him: "Elaine, I had a good chat, you suddenly appeared and took me away What's the meaning?"

Elaine was busy peeping around the corner, when she heard this, she reached out and covered his mouth lightly, and said in a low voice, "Shh - someone is looking for you in the city."

Violet blinked, he shook his head, his voice was almost inaudible: "Those Yasuo city guards are looking for a red-haired bard and his companions, I don't know if they are looking for you, but It sounds very similar to the description. If it was you, just blink again."

Violet thought for a moment, then blinked.

Elaine nodded seriously: "I will protect you."

The steadfastness in the young man's eyes was like a star, and Violet almost blurted out "Actually, I can escape faster by myself" in his throat.He rarely felt a little uncomfortable, and looked away from this pure and warm kindness: "...Thank you."

There is a small sidewalk outside the alley, and horses and carriages cannot pass, but it does not mean that the guards will give up searching here.The moment Violet turned his gaze, he heard a man talking outside: "It's so late, those people won't be wandering outside, why don't we go search the hotel..."

"I don't think they'll spend the night here at all. How much money do bums have?" said another voice.

They were walking towards the alley, Violet didn't have time to think, grabbed Elaine's front and dragged him towards him, urging him in a low voice: "Kiss me."

"What?" The young man opened his eyes wide.

Without giving him time to react, the poet dragged him to bend down, and kissed him involuntarily.

The two guards passing by of course witnessed their very hot kiss scene, one of them whistled, and Elaine turned her back to them, blushing like she was about to burn, but didn't push Violet away. special.In fact, the kiss only looked hot, and Violet didn't even think about going any further, just stroking Elaine's dry lips, all he could think about was when the guards would leave.

He didn't know that poor Elaine was on the verge of spontaneous combustion, and he didn't let go of the stiff young man until the guards walked away, and he didn't remember who it was until he saw the other person's face.

"Ah, sorry." He didn't know whether to smile or not, but subconsciously smiled at Elaine, "It's urgent, don't you mind?"

Elaine shook her head in a daze, and subconsciously looked away after looking at Violet: "I... take you back, which hotel are you staying at?"

Violet didn't refuse his offer, and went back to the hotel with him, and told Petra and Hodge about meeting the Yasuo city guard just now—except, of course, about kissing Elaine.

"Where's Birkins?"

"I'm not going to follow..." Hodge suddenly lost his voice in the middle of speaking, and changed his words with a muffled grunt, "Aren't we going to buy food? We are preparing dry food for tomorrow."

Birkins was afraid that Elaine would turn around and report on them, so he followed Elaine as soon as she left the tavern, but now that Elaine was with Violet, Birkins was nowhere to be seen. What's going on? ?

They looked at each other, Hodge cleared his throat and was about to say something else, but Birkins suddenly pushed the door in at this moment: "I lost people..."

His voice stopped abruptly when he saw Elaine standing next to Violet, as if he had been hit in the head, and he didn't know how to react.Petra patted him on the shoulder and said nonchalantly, "Elaine did a good deed and picked up our leader from the road."

"Thank you so much." Birkins, who knew the tricks well, said immediately.

Elaine didn't know that he was quietly following her, and shook her head embarrassingly: "I just happened to meet Mr. Leader..."

Before Violet went out, he said that he would not be coming back tonight. Everyone knew where he would be at this time. Obviously, Elaine would not happen to pass by the tavern and see him from the crowd of people in the tavern.Birkins frowned subtly, feeling as if he had guessed something.

Recalling the kiss just now, Violet touched her nose in embarrassment.Although the boy he hooked up with at the tavern tonight looked younger than Elaine, but for some reason, after kissing Elaine, he always felt guilty for doing something bad...

Petra didn't intend to say anything at first, but after staring at Violet's expression for a while, she suddenly changed her mind.
