When he returned to the town, Chen held the gray-fur pet named Alexander in his arms. With a flick of his wide cloak, he blocked the little guy's furry body. something.

Mana readily understands this kind of behavior. This kind of behavior of taming a monster has not been seen so far. Once people see monsters following up the town harmoniously, it may cause panic and a lot of people will come. Ask, Chen, who has always hated getting too close to people, won't cause that kind of trouble for himself.

Their foothold was a farmhouse in a certain farm outside the town. After solving the supply problem in the town, they naturally returned to the assembly point.

The small wooden house of the farmhouse is very sentimental, surrounded by pleasant pastures, in sunny weather, it is green as far as the eye can see, the farm is small, and some curly cloud-like sheep are raised, so there are guards for the farm After taking the task, you have to take care of the farm for a period of time to prevent robbers from robbing the sheep.Most of the monsters called bandits in human form use axes and hatchets as weapons, and they all use simple sword skills without wasting their human form.

Once the task of taking care of the farm is finished, the farm’s accommodation system will be activated, and you can enjoy very friendly treatment at a price far cheaper than a luxury hotel. The room is big enough and warm enough. There is milk every morning and baking every night. Leg of lamb, you can also buy rare prop wool at a very good price, which is a prop that tailors will use.In addition, if you spend a certain amount of money to rent the venue, you can also hold a bonfire party in the open space behind the farmhouse.

When Chen and Mana came back, everyone else was there, including Olivier who hadn't seen him for a while.About half a month ago, Olivier joined the guild, found his own group, and enjoyed it very much.

Mana also asked Lial, why not form a guild?With the increase of the strategy level, group battles become more and more important, and the ability of people in the same guild to form a team will increase in all aspects.

At the time, Liar's answer was very annoying.

He said: "After forming a guild, part of the money obtained has to be turned over as the guild's working capital, and there are other taxes and the like. In short, part of it will be swallowed up by the system, which is too uneconomical. Our thugs are also very good, there is no need to reduce our income at all."

What a hateful person, his understatement fully revealed his behavior of squandering his teammates' labor in exchange for higher benefits.

When I arrived at the farm, there was no one around. Since the place has been occupied by their small gang, no one will come to do the thankless task, and the location here is very close to the town, so there is no good The location of spawning monsters is not as convenient as in towns.

Chen put the new pet on the ground, and the little guy struggled to follow him on his short legs. His big bright eyes embedded in the gray hair looked very energetic. Follow Chen into the house.

"Welcome back!"

As soon as I opened the door, I heard Lian's hearty voice. After getting along with Mana a lot, she understood that the blond boy is a cheerful and somewhat nervous person. Be stingy with the compliments of others, shining like the sun in this team, he is very suitable for blonde hair.

"Ah?"

Lian noticed the little animal at Chen's feet at a glance, and unceremoniously teased the little thing.

Then he got the same treatment as Mana and was bitten.

"Ah." Lian withdrew her outstretched hand, narrowed her delicate eyes, "It's so fierce."

"Huh? Your kid is back picking up these strange things again!"

The tall McKee bent down boldly, grabbed the little animal by the neck and lifted it up. His posture was very similar to Chen's previous action. He stretched out his other hand and flicked the little animal's head without any tenderness at all. For a moment, the little thing exploded in an instant, and bit him hard while retracting his hand.

"This guy! Courting death!"

Mana was terrified and wanted to stop McGee's violent hand, but she was a step too late. Chen had already pinched his wrist and twisted it, and then snatched the little thing back.

"Don't bully it."

This scene seems familiar... Mana twitched her lips.

"That, is it domesticated?"

The person who asked the question was Liar who was drinking milk at the table. Of course, the farmers on the ranch would not provide a drink called coffee, but Liar is probably the only one who can drink milk as if drinking tea. ...

This guy pretending to be thirteen!

Mana nodded for Chen who ignored him, and looked worriedly at the little animal hiding in Chen's arms.

Wouldn't this group of people be too scary for this little guy?

"Domestication? What's that?"

The blond boy asked the question in everyone's mind. Among this group of people, Liar is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable. Of course, part of the reason is also due to the fact that he is looking for information. As a money manager, using appropriate money to buy information is also Allowed.

"That's why I asked you to read more information on the official website before entering the game. Lian, there is a domestication system in SAO. Generally, when you encounter monsters that are friendly to you, you can reach a relationship by giving them some sweets. Then the monster can be yours." It's a witch."

"What kind of shit luck did you two have? Is the chance of the monster showing affection is very low?"

"We don't know about this..."

Mana glanced melancholy at the little animal sticking out its tongue, and something softened in her heart.Most of the girls couldn't resist the temptation of these cute little things, besides, on the way back, the little things no longer resisted Mana touching it.

"So, where did you and Big Brother Chen meet it? I'll try my luck tomorrow too!"

Olivier also leaned over to touch the little thing's head, and ended up in the same misery as everyone else, being bitten.

Mana smiled secretly in her heart, isn't she the one that little things hate the most.

"It's useless." Liar picked up the ceramic quilt and took a sip, "It can only be called a coincidence."

"If familiars can be obtained so easily, this game will go against the concept."

"This is the world of swords."

"If you want to get close to monsters, the most basic point is that you must never kill monsters of the same kind."

"Didn't he keep delivering food to Mana recently? When he was in a hurry, he didn't kill a single monster, right?"

Liar recalled the scene when Chen took Mana to escape from the maze, and the fingers on the table lightly clasped the table.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Chen and Mana, secretly thinking in his heart: There is still no revenge for the festival.

His words are of course reasonable, but...

"Will there be dogs in that kind of mountain? It's already No. 15."

How can there be such a low-level monster on the No. 15 floor where beast-type monsters are rare?Even if there is, it should be hunted for food!

"It's a wolf."

Chen reminded Mana that wolves belong to the canine family, and when they were young, they really looked like little dogs, and they only became different when they grew up.

"You have to be careful, this little thing will bite you back when it grows up." Liar seemed to think of something interesting, and hooked the corners of his mouth.

"boring."

McGee seemed disdainful. He yawned and went upstairs. He probably went to sleep. Although it was almost dusk, it was still early...

Olivier frowned, and only said: "Wolves are loyal animals." Then he found a reason and left. After joining the guild, he focused on the actions of the guild, and he himself enjoyed interacting with the members of the guild. The way it feels to get along.

"They're all gone."

With a big smile on Lian's face, she squeezed between Mana and Chen, holding Chen's arm and Mana's shoulder at the same time, looking very warm, he brought the two of them to the table and sat down, He poured each of them a glass of the milk in the middle jug.

"Chen, isn't your attribute too enviable? Whether it's reality or games, why do cute girls and cute animals like you?"

The seemingly inadvertent sentence made Mana immediately recognize the problem.

"Cute animals like him?"

If she remembered correctly, what Liar had said was that the animals didn't like him.

Mana turned suspicious eyes to Liar, who was drinking milk, and blocked her face with the volume of the ceramic cup.

There is indeed a problem.

"Well, don't you know?" Lian didn't notice the interaction between them at all, and said excitedly to herself: "Let's give an example."

"There was an old homeless man in the square near the school. He raised a thin, small-eyed native dog. He was very shy. Whenever someone approached, he moved his little meaty leg and ran away quickly. Only when this guy approached Come up and smell it."

"But I heard that Mr. Chen often strangles small animals..."

Mana moved to the side with guilt, trying to stay away from Chen so that she could escape immediately. The words just now were not pleasant, and Mana also noticed that Chen himself liked animals very much. Talk about his shortcomings, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't get angry.

"Huh?" Lian was surprised for a moment, and then suddenly realized that she patted the table, "Yes, there was that one time."

"Let me tell you, the situation at the time was extremely unlucky."

Lian's chatter was broken, "That time we went to play with the big man's grandma's house in the country, and the big man was the guy who went upstairs just now."

Mana nodded to express her understanding. McGee is indeed very tall.

"The chicks had just hatched in that season, and they had to walk around with the old hen every day."

"They went out for a stroll that morning, and they just saw a chick alone, so he went over and caught the chick."

"I overslept that day, and I happened to see that scene when I found them. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so I wanted to scare him. I picked up a big leaf nearby, filled it with water in the pond, and splashed it from behind him. "

When talking about this, Lian stepped over from the stool, turned to sit on the left of Mana, pushed her to Chen's side, and showed a flattering expression.

"Then he wanted to protect the chicken boy from the water, so he put it in his pocket. When I jumped on him again to knock him down, the chicken boy was crushed to death."

After speaking, Lian jumped to the door, raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, with a haha ​​smile on her face, looking like she deserved a beating.

"It died at his hands! That chicken was strangled to death by him!"

After speaking, Lian opened the door and ran away...

Mana quietly looked back at Yan Chen's expression, feeling a glass of cold water poured from head to toe, she couldn't help but hugged her arms tightly.

terrible!If Ren didn't run so fast, how would she be treated now...

Inadvertently, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Liar who was smiling at the corner of her mouth, and a surge of anger welled up spontaneously.

"So, you're lying to me again?"

Mana stood up, this time, she must not be fooled easily!How could she be so stupid, how could she believe that Chen would be so perverted that he would crush more than N small animals to death!

"Exaggeration is just a rhetorical device," Lyall explained.

Thinking about it carefully, I really can't believe what Liar said, so the fault is still on Mana's side. She was cheated once or twice, and she was cheated three times and four times. It can only be said that she is stupid, and she can't blame others.

But won't it be too much!Mingmingchen is such a gentle person, yet he should be so slandered by him!

"Okay I'm sorry."

There was no trace of sincerity in Liar's confession, he took down his cup, got up and left, leaving only Mana, Chen, and their pet wolf Alexander eagerly looking at them.

With a bitter face, Mana apologized to Chen miserably. Firstly, she misunderstood him, and secondly, she just said something bad. Chen's expression was not quite right, and his eyes were deep like a pool of stagnant water. It looks spiritual like this, but it is far less approachable than the usual blank look that only looks at the sky.

This way, it gives people a feeling of calm before the storm.

However, no matter how many storms brewed in Chen's heart, he would not spill them on Mana.

By the time Mana realized this, it was already a long time later.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and the little wolf Alexander restlessly rubbed against Chen's feet.

After a while, Mana surrendered, and she lowered her head as if discouraged.

"I was wrong."

As long as Mana raises her head, she can immediately see Chen's focused eyes on her. She knows this very well, because Chen has always looked at her like this. At first, she just felt very scared, but she got used to it after a lot of times. .

Even if she just lowered her head to feel his gaze, it felt like a burning sensation was spreading over her body. She didn't know how her face was blushing now, but she knew how fast her heart was beating.

"That...actually..."

Mana twisted her fingers anxiously at the hem of her clothes, feeling more nervous than ever.

"Actually..."

"I……"

Mana tilted her head awkwardly, bit her lip, and made up her mind to be impulsive.

"I to you..." For the first time in my life.

"I should like you!"

Confess to a boy for the first time!
