I really only stop

"Well! Leave it to me!"

Chapter 200 Doubts when we first met

The endless forests bring deep shadows. Although the surface is as calm as the Dead Sea, there are still countless lives hidden in the dark and surging.

Returning to this large forest known as the 'Forest of Monsters', Lu Xi keenly sensed many things that he hadn't noticed before.

Different from Lengtouqing who just crossed over, although the process was not serious, Lu Xi, who had defeated many powerful enemies, was a little sharper than before.He faintly felt that there were many moving objects on both sides of the road.

That's a monster.

Because of [Beast's Intuition], Lu Xi wasn't very nervous at this time, he was only slightly emotional.

I was really lucky when I first crossed.The place where I descended was a lake, and no vicious monsters pounced on me to eat me during those few minutes of stupefaction.

Logically speaking, the lake in the forest should be the most dangerous place.Thirsty monsters will go to drink water, while more powerful monsters will hide by the lake and stare at them.An ordinary human like Lu Xi, who has no power except time-stop, was able to stay safe and sound by the lake in the middle of the forest for a few minutes. It has to be said to be a kind of [lucky].

If there was a monster that jumped out to attack Lu Xi, who was poor and ignorant, and didn't even know when he owned it, it probably wouldn't be able to wait for the world to come to him, and his story would end here.

but……

Thinking of this, Lu Xi looked at the soft girl walking beside him strangely:

"Nai Nai, when I first saw you, why did you come to such a dangerous place alone?"

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Nana tilted her head and thought for a while, then seriously replied: "If I remember correctly, I was looking for a material needed to repair the doll at that time, and I accidentally made some noise when I found it, so I was surrounded by those chug rabbits. If it wasn't for Lu Xi who suddenly appeared and rescued me, I would probably..."

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Yuxia blinked suspiciously: "I understand that you have to come to the forest to find materials, but why is Nana alone? Didn't you bring your partner with you in such a dangerous place?"

"Just, it's because I don't have a partner that I came alone..."

Speaking of this topic, Nana looked a little embarrassed.She blushed and whispered: "Before I met everyone, I didn't even dare to talk to Ms. OL to register as an adventurer, let alone meet a powerful adventurer to form a team to find materials..."

Even if you want to release the task of collecting materials by yourself, you need to talk to Ms. OL first.For Nana at that time, this matter was definitely more difficult than going to the forest to find it.

It seems that not only me, Nana has also changed a lot after joining the team.

Looking at Nana whose smile was much brighter than when she first met, Lu Xi chuckled lightly:

"Nai Nai, I'm afraid you misunderstood what Yuxia and I meant. When we said 'one person', we actually wanted to ask why you didn't take out a doll to deal with Chu Tutu. Whether it's Barney or Mama Yi, it's easy to save you, right?"

This question has always existed in Lu Xi's mind.Ever since Nana closed his eyes and summoned a puppet army to crush Miss Cat and Cat, he has been thinking, why didn't Nana just pull a puppet out to hang and beat the chug rabbit group that day?

Although it is scary to be forced to freeze for a second under siege, as long as there are a lot of people, Chututu is just a fluffy and harmless rabbit.

Thinking about it this way, Nana seemed to be carrying only a small backpack for dry food and water that day. As for the mysterious tool bag——

"Actually, I didn't bring my own tool bag that time."

What Ruanmei said made Lu Xi believe in her own judgment even more.

"But why?"

Celica frowned strangely, and her attitude was rarely serious: "For adventurers, carelessness is absolutely impossible! Since you are in an environment where you may encounter danger, you must hold your weapon tightly—— This is a lesson I have learned from my long solo career, absolutely true!"

Celica had been a solo adventurer before she met Lucy and the others.I was complained by Lu Xi before, "How old have you been an adventurer?".

I don't know if there is some story hidden behind this, since Celica didn't take the initiative to speak, Lu Xi naturally wouldn't keep asking.

"Woo... I know I was wrong..."

Facing Celica's criticism, Nana lowered her head a little awkwardly, and after hesitating for a while, she whispered:

"However, it was Barney and the others who asked me not to carry it..."

"what?!"

--------------

Under a towering tree on the outer layer of the forest of monsters, a team of four sat together, with a small pile of snacks in front of them.

Raising her hand, she cast holy light spells to intimidate monsters around her. Looking at the snacks in front of her, and then at Lu Xi and Celica who were scratching their heads embarrassingly, Yushia shook her head helplessly:

"In the end, you still brought them."

"It's okay, it's just a small cloth bag, it doesn't take much weight!" X2

Lu Xi spread her hands when she and Celica said an explanation that was very similar even in tone:

"Besides, there is a story meeting going on right now, wouldn't it be nice to have some snacks~"

Hearing this, Nana scratched her cheek in confusion: "Didn't you tell me to tell me what happened at that time? Why did it suddenly become a story club?"

"Don't care, don't care~"

Throwing her head into Nana's arms, Celica rubbed her comfortingly: "As an adventurer, we must have the freedom and optimism of 'Since the matter is over, let's sing it as a story!'. You Look, don't everyone in the guild often tell their adventures, so that everyone can listen to them as stories?"

"Yes, is that so?"

Nana looked at Lu Xi suspiciously, and after seeing the same smile on the other party's face as Celica's, she resolutely turned her gaze to Yuxia.

"...Although it feels a little strange, it should be like this, right?"

Yuxia, who had been a saint before and didn't know much about adventurers, nodded lightly:

"Grandpa Pope once said, 'Communication is the means by which people gain experience from each other'. Even though it's someone else's story, the listener gets even a little bit out of it - well, that's it!"

As expected of Yuxia!How could there be such a stalwart reason for listening to stories for fun!

"Okay then, I'll start talking..."

Seeing Ruanmei obediently sitting down and starting to tell a story, Lu Xi and Celica looked at each other, and tacitly picked up a snack:

The combination of touching fish and eating melons is online again!

Chapter 201 The Beginning of the Knot Entangling

"Remember it was one night? Just as I was about to go to sleep, one of the dolls suddenly said, 'One of the old parts is broken and needs to be repaired'."

Recalling the scene at that time, the soft girl deliberately lowered her voice and pretended to be an old man, which was very cute:

"Of course I was very anxious to hear such things. I remember when—"

----------

"Eh?! Is there a broken part?!"

Nana hurriedly picked up the doll in front of her and turned it up and down.After a long time, he hesitated and said:

"However, every part of you is functioning very healthy, and the structure is also very complete, so there is nothing broken?"

【…】

"Eh?! Is there something wrong with the internal parts?! Or something I can't check out!?"

Ignoring the logical question of [this is a puppet made by myself, how can it not see any faults], the kind Nana just looked at the white lion puppet in front of her with worry:

"Then, what should I do then? How can I fix you?"

【…】

The little lion puppet turned his head with difficulty, looked at the complicated night sky outside the window, and was silent for a while before looking back at Nana:

[...,.... 】

"Do you want to collect a very precious material in the forest of monsters?"

Nana never doubted the "friends" she recognized.She nodded hastily, and packed her tool bag in a hurry:

"Okay! I'm going! But..."

The soft girl who had heard the terrifying rumors about the Forest of Monsters stopped hesitantly.

Forest of Monsters... Scary, right?

I heard from adventurers who occasionally passed by the house that the Forest of Monsters is a forbidden place for adventurers with a very long history.Even after tens of thousands of years of exploration, human beings have never conquered this mysterious place with its own ecosystem.Compared with the forest, it is more like a hodgepodge of a lot of dangerous existences. Lost races, hidden civilizations, and even countless dangerous seals have jointly created the forest of monsters.

In contrast, there are natural resources in the forest of monsters that are so abundant that they can be said to be 'treasures everywhere'.Rare ore materials are priceless treasures for humans, but they are no different from small stones on the roadside for monsters without intelligence.There is a slang word in the adventurers' team, "picking up leaks", which refers to the act of rummaging through the lair of a monster that likes shiny things, finding precious ores from it, and making a fortune.

As far as my strength is concerned, if I want to explore the forest of monsters, I can't do without the help of Barney and the others.

Realizing this very clearly, Nana began to think about which [friends] she should team up with this time.

Barney is in charge of defense, Settis is in charge of attack, Cook is in charge of picnic, and Mamai and Boi, who are good at scouting the environment, are also needed. If you can avoid fighting, it is better to choose to bypass it——

'patta'

"?"

Staring blankly at the way the little white lion stretched out a paw and lightly pressed her hand preparing the kit, Nana tilted her head puzzled:

"What's the matter? Since I'm going to find parts for you this time, don't follow me. Don't think about anything, just rest at home like this~"

The white lion cub shook his head firmly, and pushed the parts in Nana's hand away with his head:

【…】

"—No way?! Just let me go alone?!"

Nana froze for a moment, then shook her head vigorously: "No, no, no! My own fighting ability is very weak. If I go by myself, I might not even be able to get out of the city gate!"

I can't even imagine myself walking on the street alone!He will definitely be stared at with strange eyes!

【Even if you take us with you, you are usually a 'lonely person' in the eyes of others...】

There is a complex light in the eyes of the little white lion, I don't know if it is an illusion, but his seemingly watery and cute eyes seem to contain the depth and wisdom of the entire bright starry sky.If someone who is not strong-willed keeps staring at it, maybe he will be addicted to it forever like this:

【…】

"'The material I'm looking for can only be found if one goes there'?"

Muttering and repeating the words of the little white lion, Nana wept:

"Why is this! This is obviously the level of cheating!!"

pat.

The paw of the little white lion rested on Nana's palm again. At the same time, it blinked and stared at Nana, and those eyes dotted with stars gave off a 'bulingbuling' light at this moment.

so cute!

Although her hobbies may seem scary to others, Nana is actually just an ordinary girl who likes cute things.Looking at the shining star eyes of the little lion, the softest thing in Nana's heart was touched.

Nana was attacked by a lion cub【Show Cute】!The effect is outstanding, which makes Nana full of determination!

After a short silence, Nana nodded firmly:

"—Hmm! Don't worry! I will definitely bring the parts back for you!"

--------

Refueling herself a little by clenching her fist and waving, Nana put the tool bag back on the table, and then picked up a somewhat worn-out small package from under the table.

This is the 'Good Friend Set·Picnic Module' that I bought from a passing merchant mother-in-law when I was a child.I heard from my mother-in-law that when you go out for a picnic with your friends, as long as you have this, you don't need to prepare anything else.

Although I have not made friends since I bought this thing, I hope to add fresh and sufficient food to the picnic bag every month, and now it can be used as dry food for adventures!

After checking her small backpack for the last time, Nana took a deep breath and shouted to the little white lion on the bed and the tool bag next to it:

"I, I'm going out! Everyone, please take good care of your home!"

【…】

As if getting some response, the girl smiled lightly.With a little fear and uneasiness towards the outside world, she walked out of the room.

……

Hearing the sound of Nana's footsteps fading away, the originally quiet room suddenly became lively.

[Made, in order to seduce that child, I will lose all the face of the old man—if I let the old apprentices know that their master, the great and wise astrological sage, used the 'Secret Technique·Wisdom of the Stars' as a cute skill , the old name is estimated to disappear forever on the first page of the history book. 】

The little lion, who was still looking cute and star-eyed just now, sighed sadly, and turned his eyes to the sky outside the window:

[I have never had such a strong inspiration as today... What will happen in that forest?Why did she have anything to do with that child, Nana? 】
