"Mr. Weixi!" The pharmacist suddenly said: "I saw some herbs before, can I go and collect some?"

"Is it far?"

"It's very close! Follow this creek and walk upstream for a few minutes..."

"That's okay." Xi Weier took out a transparent stone from his arms: "If you encounter danger, you will fall to the ground, and I will save you."

"Okay, okay." The pharmacist quickly took it, and said with some guilt: "I, I gave you a reward that is not as good as this flash stone... Is it not good for me to use it?"

"Really?" Xi Weier scratched his head: "Fortunately, it's not very expensive, and you may not be able to use it."

In fact, Xi Weier didn't know the market price of Shimmer Stone at all.

The flash stone is a product of alchemy. When it shatters, it will burst into daytime light, which can be clearly seen within a kilometer nearby. It also comes with a lightning-type protective cover, which can resist part of the attack.Xi Weier brought this thing with him every time he went out, but the person who helped prepare it was Leilis——you don't know how expensive a house is, and Xi Weier is in this state now.

The pharmacist had no choice but to take the flash stone, torch and tools and walked up the creek. At first, he asked Xi Weier if he could go to collect the medicine, which meant that Xi Weier would escort him. Who would have thought that Xi Weier would give him value as soon as he made a move? A flash stone of fifty gold coins.

——As expected of a rich man.

The pharmacist thought about it, and felt that he was lucky. As for whether it was good luck or bad luck... then he really didn't know.

"Aren't we escorting?" Aize watched the pharmacist go away, and then asked Xi Weier: "In case something goes wrong..."

"This forest is not big, and the monsters inhabiting it are all low-level monsters, so don't worry." Xi Weier handed a bowl of hot water to Aize: "Besides, even pharmacists have self-protection methods, don't underestimate them .”

Ai Ze frowned and said, "It's not that I don't trust their abilities..."

"Are you trying to say that since we have accepted the task, we must do our best?"

"Yes."

"Our mission is to protect him from collecting medicinal materials in the 'Yap Forest', which is not within the scope of our mission." Xi Weier picked the bonfire: "Recall the content of our mission at that time."

Ai Ze carefully recalled the task content before nodding to express his understanding.

"We have to do the task." Xi Weier touched his chin: "But we don't have to worry too much about other things, and we are not babysitters."

Ai Ze nodded, feeling that Xi Weier had another attitude when dealing with work.

"Are you tired?" Xi Weier asked suddenly.

"No," Aize shook his head: "It's not very tired."

"This is your first time riding on a horse." Xi Weier stretched out his hand and snorted on Aize's head. He didn't hear the hint that his favorability decreased, so he continued: "After a day, you should be tired. Don't hide it. I saw you in the stream just now. Fishing, my thighs are always trembling. I am not used to it for a long time

Er said suddenly.

"No," Aize shook his head: "It's not very tired."

"This is your first time riding on a horse." Xi Weier stretched out his hand and snorted on Aize's head. He didn't hear the hint that his favorability decreased, so he continued: "After a day, you should be tired. Don't hide it. I saw you in the stream just now. Fishing, my thighs are always shaking. I'm not used to riding a horse for a long time, just like that."

"I'm sorry," Ai Ze didn't deny it any more, but lowered his head and said, "I've let you down."

Xi Weier was rarely troubled, and made a pause gesture: "Okay, okay, don't keep taking the blame on yourself, why are you so rigid..."

"……sorry."

"Uh! That, that, I don't think you are bad, you are an excellent child! Just, just, how should I put it?" Xi Weier quickly waved his hand: "I just hope you can pay more attention to your body, you Didn’t the pharmacist ask you to stop and rest a few times? If you keep trying to be brave, won’t you have to stop and rest when you’re tired? And it will take longer!”

Aize nodded: "I understand."

Seeing Aize's unmoved expression, Xi Weier knew that the child didn't listen to his words.

"Have you worn out your thighs riding a horse? Let me see."

"There is no such thing, please rest assured." Ai Ze refused.

"...Then forget it." Xi Weier remembered that Aize dismounted quickly, and there was nothing wrong with walking except trembling, so he thought it should be fine, so he didn't insist.

The two confronted each other in silence for a while, and then Xi Weier spoke again.

"I've been living with me for more than a month... Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with?" These words were held back for a long time, and even if they were asked, Xi Weier was still uneasy—more than before.

"No." Aize's answer was simple and quick.

"Really not???"

"No."

"Really do not have?!"

"...No," Ai Ze couldn't bear Xi Weier's expectant and nervous eyes, so he nodded and said, "It's... a pleasure to get along with you."

Xi Weier was overjoyed, and quickly poked open the system property bar, the favorability column showed -10.

'...Is this considered a pleasant time to get along with? 'Sivir felt that his definition of happiness might be different from Aize's.

[At least you and your child have made a lot of progress compared to when you first met. 】

Xi Weier thought about it and thought it was right, he let out a sigh of relief and laughed: "That would be great."

"what?"

"It's great that you didn't feel uncomfortable." Xi Weier seemed to be affirming his words, and added: "That's right, great."

"Mr. Leilis took good care of me, and you are very kind to me, teacher, so don't worry about me."

"You're right, Leiris always does things properly, and I have nothing to worry about...Since you live comfortably with me, shouldn't we go further?!"

Ai Ze was shocked by Xi Weier's words, and said with a strange expression: "...to go further?"

Xi Weier scratched his cheek: "I mean, you can act like a baby to me!"

"..."

"Hey, Aize, why are you going?"

"I'll wash my face, and then I'll sleep in the tent. In the second half of the night, I'll change shifts with you."

"..." Xi Weier felt that there was still a long way to go before Aize would act like a baby to him.

Sure enough, Aize came back after a while, got into the tent to rest, and Xi Weier didn't want to be disturbed, and sat by the campfire alone, yawning boredly.

After a while, the pharmacist also came back, with a bag full of herbs on his back, probably just picked out of the water, dripping wet.

Xi Weier raised his hand as a gesture of greeting, but the pharmacist didn't care. He smiled at Xi Weier, sat next to Xi Weier, took off the pocket on his back, and spread out the medicinal herbs inside to dry by the campfire: " The herbs are too wet to take away, so I dry them."

Xi Weier nodded, and suddenly asked after a while: "You said... how can I get closer to children?"

"You mean, about you and Ai Ze?" the pharmacist asked hesitantly.

The pharmacist is actually quite puzzled, the father and son get along very strangely, the father keeps showing affection, but the son seldom shows affection... So it's still beautifying, in fact, the pharmacist has never seen Ai Ze's relationship with Xi Will expressed affection.

Xi Weier nodded: "Why do you think that child is acting like a baby at me?"

"Your child looks more stable, so there's no need to let the child act like a baby at you, right?"

"Tsk tsk!" Xi Weier had an expression on his face: "At first glance, you are someone who has never been a father! You are too young! You don't understand, you don't understand!"

The pharmacist looked at Xi Weier's complacent look, and laughed dryly: You, a father, still ask me for advice.

"Children! Especially children like Ai Ze, who seem serious and not playful, long for someone who can act like a baby!"

"..."

I rely on you even more. "

Silver felt right, very right.

——But how should you behave when you are mature and stable?

Xi Weier was still struggling, the pharmacist had already spread out all the medicinal materials, and asked Xi Weier.

"Do you need me to keep watch?"

"No, I'll do it alone."

"But I have to hurry tomorrow..."

Xi Weier added some firewood to the bonfire: "It's okay if I don't sleep for three to five days. I can just arrive at the next town tomorrow, and I'll just catch up on sleep."

"Okay, okay." The pharmacist agreed, and got into his tent.

Xiver took a twig to write and draw on the ground, and chatted with the system to pass the time.

In the middle of the night, Ai Ze got out of the tent to change Xi Weier, but Xi Weier pushed him back into the tent and continued to sleep.

[You are right, children are growing and developing, and they cannot lack sleep. ] It is rare for the system to praise Xi Weier once.

"Hehe, that is, what a caring father I am, Ai Ze is definitely determined under my education..."

The system automatically entered the standby mode, and Ren Xiwei ignored him no matter how he shouted.

So Xiver kept his eyes open until dawn.

In the early morning, before dawn, Ai Ze got out of the tent one step ahead of the pharmacist, and began to practice swordsmanship after washing.

Xi Weier watched from the side and gave some advice by the way. Ai Ze studied seriously and Xi Weier taught seriously. It wasn't until the pharmacist got up slowly that the two stopped teaching.

"I'm going to prepare breakfast." Aize said, taking out the dry food he was carrying from his bag, and said to Xi Weier, "You haven't slept all night, so take a rest before you hurry."

Xi Weier was stunned for a moment, laughed a few times, and went to catch up on sleep in the tent.
