The Adventure Story of the Devil, the Maid, and the Hero

"Ah, haven't you come yet?"

In a tavern in a small town next to the Forest of Red Leaves, Iluna stuffed another piece of liqueur chocolate into her mouth, and with her other hand impatiently shook the glass of hot water that had already been drunk on the table in front of her. Chocolate mugs.

"In the past half an hour, you have said similar words no less than seven times, little Luna."

Shirpasha covered her mouth and yawned, reminding her somewhat helplessly.

On average, less than once out of five points, Yulia followed her words and thought of these insignificant things in her mind, and she still spoke soothingly:

"After all, we arrived an hour early, so there's nothing we can do about it. In fact, it's good to gather in the tavern instead of the forest."

"It's too much, don't those three people have the enthusiasm for adventure!"

Iluna obviously couldn't let go because the waiting time was too long.

"Isn't knowing patience an essential quality for an archer?"

April asked indifferently.

"Waiting for someone is different from waiting for an opportunity." Iluna retorted disapprovingly, "Luna's eldest sister once said that a man who makes girls wait is a fool if he doesn't already have a girlfriend."

"This is a team task and not a date. The same principle cannot be applied." April frowned in disapproval. "And this statement is biased."

"Woo," Iluna raised her lips unhappily, "This is not what Luna cares about."

"Okay, okay, Luna, didn't you say you wanted to come to the Forest of Red Leaves?" Shilpasha reached out and touched the soft blue-blue curly hair, "Now you can also taste the special chocolate here, right?"

Iluna let out a soft "hmm", threw another piece of peanut chocolate into her mouth, and calmed down.

As for Fuono, who didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, she kept silently watching the entrance of the tavern seriously, and her eyes lit up when she saw someone who seemed to be an adventurer, and she was disappointed to find that the person who came to the table was not theirs. He turned his gaze back to the door again and continued to watch silently.

They originally wanted to go to Kaisam Oasis before, but a mountain range they had to pass on the way seemed to be closed due to a natural disaster.If we continue to set the destination at Kaisam, then we will need to take a long detour, so in order not to waste time, the group simply changed their original plan and came to the forest of red leaves, which is relatively farther north.

The leaves of the trees in the Momiji Forest are red all year round, and even in the dry summer, there will often be a burst of mist, so it is called the Momiji Forest and the Misty Forest.

And here, it is also the place where the sixth devil king descended since it was recorded in history.

On the second day after arriving in this town, the five people received the latest exploration mission of the Red Leaf Forest from the local Adventurer's Guild.

It's just that this task is carried out in batches and groups. Before the start, the eight people in each group must gather at the tavern next to the guild and set off together.

So the five people who came early had no choice but to enter the boring waiting time.

After a while, a short-haired woman in leather armor and a man dressed as a soldier walked into the tavern, looked around, and came over after seeing the number plate on the five-person table

"what."

Fuono, who had been silently paying attention to the two of them when they entered the door, let out a soft cry, and Iluna cheered up immediately after hearing it.

"Yo, it's been a long time."

The man dressed as a soldier slightly raised his eyebrows after seeing the lineup of five people, and just said hello. After seeing that no one was present, he casually found an empty stool and sat down without saying anything What.The short-haired woman following behind the warrior was even more taciturn, and after a slight nod, she sat down beside him.

Not long after, a suspicious-looking swordsman wearing a black cloak with a hood walked into the tavern. After entering, he took a look and walked quickly to the table where several people were.

"Familiar attire."

Fuono muttered softly.

"Oh, it looks like I'm the last one." The visitor said while sitting on the empty seat, and heard the voice of a woman.

"Then, let's introduce myself first, let's start with me." The black-robed woman said a slightly strange self-introduction in a hearty voice that did not match her attire, "I am a swordsman. I don't have any special skills outside the sword, it's OK to call me Xiao Lai or Lai Lai."

"Seth, warrior." He pointed to himself first, and then to the people beside him, "Philoxi, thief."

"Luna is an archer."

Iluna's voice was full of vitality, and there was no trace of impatience when she was waiting for someone just now.

"Tifa is a mage."

Shirpasha smiled politely.

"Julia, same as above, auxiliary department."

Giulia's voice trembled a little imperceptibly, although there was no difference on the surface, but the hands under the table unconsciously grasping the hem of the clothes revealed the nervousness of its owner.

"April is also a mage, good at fire and healing."

April finished her self-introduction flatly, and looked at her childhood sweetheart beside her.The latter smiled at her and said briefly:

"Fuono, logistics."

After she finished speaking, she looked at April with an expression of "Look, it's okay", and of course she failed to notice the complexity in the other's eyes.

"Speaking of which, is it possible that Ms. Thief and Mr. Warrior are lovers?" Iluna asked curiously, and then added, "Ah, if you don't mind, you don't have to say anything."

"There is nothing to hide." Seth glanced at the people beside him, touched his head and said with a smile, "We are indeed in that kind of relationship."

Filoxi nodded silently, and added bluntly after a while, "Although it's a bit embarrassing."

"Hey!" Seth frowned pretending to be dissatisfied, "Isn't it too much to say?"

"Idiots are not qualified to say that."

Filoxi turned her head and said disdainfully.

"Is that why you came so late?"

Iluna looked like this before.

"No, it has nothing to do with that."

Giulia has some dark lines and authenticity.

"Oh, it's nice to be young."

The black-robed woman who called herself Xiao Lai sighed in a playful tone.

Iluna looked her up and down, combined with her voice, she said in a puzzled way:

"You don't look that old, do you?"

"Hee hee," the black-robed woman smiled, her tone a bit nostalgic, "I think back then I was someone who could be picked up by a murderous man like the devil."

"That was too long ago," Giulia couldn't help but said, "and the previous Demon King was also a woman."

"Oh, it was exposed." Even so, there was no embarrassment in her voice, but some regret, "Young people nowadays are not easy to fool." The woman in black stretched her waist, as if to Reminding this matter, "Then, it's about time to set off."
