"Well, let's get on the road quickly, we're going to the next town before dark."

Qian looked at the sky, got on his horse, and noticed that Ye Ying who was standing suddenly hesitated and said: "But we don't have many horses...Well, Obi, why don't you take her."

"Eh?" Obi blinked his wide cat eyes.

"Aha~, what does it matter, others are here for you," Qian said with a triumphant smile on his face, and waved his horsewhip, "Guangxiu, Mumu and I will leave first, Obi, remember to follow!"

Obi stared at the backs of the three of them leaving in a daze...

Is this feeling of being left behind so obvious~

"Ah lah...meeting such a master is really..."

Obi murmured as he controlled the horse towards Ye Ying.

"Then..., if you don't mind, sit behind me."

Ye Ying looked at Obi on horseback and was slightly taken aback.

The slightly golden light of the setting sun reflected from the man's back, and he smiled awkwardly, softening the color of those golden eyes.

Ye Ying subconsciously looked away, trying to control the rapid heartbeat.

"No,... I can keep up."

After thinking about it, he added: "I'm very fast... I used to be like this."

Did you always follow them at your own speed before...

Obi looked at Ye Ying who was explaining stubbornly with his head down, and for some reason, his heart suddenly moved slightly.

...It seems that this No.1 is not so difficult to get along with...

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his hand, with a natural magnetism after relaxation in his voice:

"Even if you say that... I don't have the habit of letting girls walk."

"Come up quickly, or the master and the others may walk away."

Ye Ying looked at the hand stretched out in front of her, and a nervousness suddenly rose in her dark purple eyes.

She hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Obi who was still quietly waiting for her, her ears felt a little hot.

She forced herself to calm down, raised her hand calmly, borrowed strength from the other's outstretched hand, and the slender figure spun and landed lightly on the horse's back.

Obi nodded in satisfaction, grabbed the rein with both hands and was ready to go.

It's just "preparation"——

The horse remained where it was.

Obi looked ahead, and suddenly sighed extremely helplessly.

He turned his head little by little, and looked behind him in confusion——

The girl in black was half standing and half kneeling above the horse's buttocks, gently supporting the horse's back with one hand, and pressing the scabbard around her waist with the other, and stood steadily in a state of ready to go, as if she could draw her sword at any time.

"Hey... are you really okay?"

The girl nodded calmly: "Yes."

"...You, don't you know how to ride a horse?"

"I can."

"...Your riding style... the horse will cry." Obi looked serious.

The girl's face burned, and she subconsciously lowered her head when she was stared at by those bright golden eyes with a sense of ridicule.

"...I...just...not used to having too much contact with other people..."

Hearing the girl's voice of explanation getting smaller and smaller, Obi sighed lightly in his eyes.

...a killer instinct alert...?

...It seems that I used to be the same...

Thinking of the defense and hostility that were engraved in his bones when he used to make a living on missions.

...Since when did I start to change.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the town.

Even looking at each other from such a distance, I can still feel the warmth.

Sure enough, the master, and Miss Baixue... After meeting them, that kind of unreserved trust...

Obi smiled.

He stepped on the stirrup hard and moved his body forward to make more room behind him.

Turning his head slightly, the voice spread behind him through the wind, with a refreshing smell like sunshine.

"If it's on guard, it seems that it should be 'leave the back to you'. I need to be more on guard."

"If you don't sit still, I can't bring you into town!~"

Yeying's heart skipped a beat, she raised her head, and saw the tall and straight figure in front of her back reflecting the faint sunlight, her eyes were in a trance for a moment.

She pursed her lips lightly, and the figure standing firmly on the horseback gradually relaxed.

One hand rested on Obi's shoulder—the moment she touched it, she trembled slightly but she didn't let go. She carefully sat on the horse's back, lowered her head in a hurry, and let the other's tall back block her, and the expression on her face .

"thanks."

A voice as thin as a gossamer came muffled from behind, and the smile on the corner of Obi's mouth became more apparent again.

"Such a lovely lady, let's go, if you are scared, you can hold me tight~"

"……Need not."

"Ahaha, I said, are you really that Ye Ying? You can't be pretending... It hurts, hurts, hurts! ——I believe you, stop~~~"

Ye Ying calmly retracted the silver needle on her fingertips.

Obikong rubbed his shoulders with his hands and grinned, "... Alas, you really shouldn't get too complacent, so you don't have to strike so hard, right?"

"...It's already very light."

Obi: "..." Should I really pray for my own miserable future?
