...

at the same time.

The bright moon hangs high in the night sky.

The capital of the kingdom, in a hotel somewhere.

Gafan sat on a creaky wooden chair with his legs crossed, touching his chin, looking at Liya who was lying on the bed in front of him, holding a white dumpling pillow in her arms, seemingly asleep, and fell into deep thought.

"Oh...it's really difficult to handle this time."

Gafan sighed softly, and then a voice of system displeasure suddenly appeared in his mind.

"What's wrong with you, uncle? Why did you hand over the doll pillow you gave me?" The system, which had been holding it in the host's mind for a long time, cursed.

She, she quite likes that doll pillow.

"Because I think children need to hold something in their arms to feel more at ease when sleeping."

Gafan, whose thoughts were interrupted, replied feebly, and then listened to the familiar childish voice in his mind, nagging and showing off his temper, and couldn't help but smile.

"But seriously, Gafan, what are you going to do with that girl?"

After running around in the host's mind for a while, the system suddenly asked seriously: "You asked that guy named Clem to take you to a clothing store during the day to buy clothes for this child."

"Well, isn't this natural?" Gafan replied speechlessly, "We can't keep her naked all the time, just wrapped in a blanket, right?"

"But, you bought her several sets of clothes!" The system yelled a little uncomfortable.

She only has one thing, this is unfair!

"Because you asked for a set at that time, and then you took my hand and ran outside, shouting that you were going to eat."

Gafan covered his face, and then suddenly seemed to remember something. After being silent for a while, he asked in a deep and uneasy voice: "Wait a minute... System, when did you start putting things in my head?" Watched it overseas?”

"Who knows, when I looked outside, you were walking around the street with this child in your arms." The system replied indifferently.

"That's it...that's good."

Looking at Gafan who seemed to be relieved, the system stopped shouting. After being quiet for a while, it suddenly came out of his mind.

A petite and cute figure appeared out of thin air, and her little feet wearing plush boots stepped on the wooden floor.

"Hey, Gafan."

The system put its hands on its hips, looked directly at the other person, and said unceremoniously: "What are you worried about and scrupulous about? I am not a weak carbon-based creature. There is something that I can't see, and you even called me specifically. go back."

And after hearing this, Ga Fan took a look at the other party's height of 1.4 meters, his young and dissatisfied face, and his clean, clear blue eyes, and sighed with a complicated mood.

"I understand the truth, but... I just don't want you to see those scenes."

"Why?" The system tilted its little head, looking puzzled.

In response, Gafan didn't reply for a while, but just looked at the other person quietly.

He looked at the confused child in front of him, and the clearness made him feel comfortable and peaceful "clean", just like when he met Rimuru for the first time.

And those pair of eldest sister-like eyes, blue and clear, just like the sky in some apocalyptic world that has not yet been polluted.

It was really silent for a long time.

"Yes...why?" Gafan asked with a rare wry smile.

He himself couldn't explain it.

Maybe it's just that I'm simply unhappy.

But his expression made the system stunned for a moment.

A slight emotion that she had never felt before appeared in her heart. She didn't know what it was, but she knew...

She didn't like seeing the other person look so sad.

So, a small white hand grabbed the other person's big hand, and looking at the other person's slightly surprised eyes, the system said seriously: "Gafan, take me with you to move to the roof of this hotel."

"Huh? It's okay, but suddenly what happened..."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, now." The system said a little willfully.

This made Ga Fan feel a little confused, but he also followed the other party's intention and directly said the forced movement of space, making the room suddenly become much emptier.

Liya, who was left covered with a quilt on the bed and closed her eyes, hugged the white dumpling pillow in her arms a little tighter.

...

Under the moonlight.

The streets became very deserted at night.

In a hotel of a certain size, two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air on the roof, without attracting anyone's attention.

"Okay, the space has been moved out, so what are you going to do, system?"

Gafan looked down at the other party speechlessly, and then found that the other party started to pull his arm and yell again.

"Now, sit down, sit down quickly."

"Well, what, this roof is very dirty."

"I don't care about you, sit down quickly!"

"......Fine."

Gafan, who was confused, hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down after casually saying "Bi Chen". Then he looked at the system with a puzzled face, wondering what this little guy was going to do.

But what happened next made his eyes widen slightly.

Without the slightest courtesy, the system, which remained in human form, sat directly in his arms with a little force, then took out a warm blanket from their shared storage space and covered herself and him.

System's petite body leaned back, tightened the blanket around him, then puffed out his small mouth and began to say nothing.

"...System, what are you doing?"

Gafan was a little confused and really didn't understand what was going on now.

The system, after struggling for a while, suddenly raised its little head and looked directly at the other party, seemingly aggrieved.

"That slime did the same thing when he comforted you last time... Why did you react differently when I did the same thing?"

"System...are you comforting me?"

"Yeah, what, do you have any opinions?" The system yelled dissatisfied.

"...No, no objection, haha, no objection at all, thank you very much, system!"

After being stunned for a moment, Gafan suddenly didn't have any scruples and laughed very happily, as if he saw the system as an entity for the first time.

This time, without any further hesitation, he directly reached out and hugged the system in his arms, touching the other person's head unceremoniously. At the same time, he covered the other person's blanket more tightly to prevent the little one in his arms from being The cold evening wind chilled me.

"Hey, don't touch me so hard!"

System, who was completely lying in his arms, screamed with disgust, but had no intention of resisting. His long, silky white hair was wrapped around the fingers of that warm hand.

"This kind of thing only happens this time. Don't even think about it next time! Don't bother me!"

"Hahaha, I know, I know, this time alone is enough. Thank you very much, system." Gafan's usually indifferent expression was now filled with a smile from the heart.

He couldn't quite explain how he felt now.

Is it touching?

After all, I didn't understand the system of human emotions before, but this time I am actively comforting myself in my own way.

Is it joy?

After all, he was given the same attention by someone he valued, even if the way of expression was a bit clumsy.

Or maybe both.

Gafan couldn't figure it out, but he was protecting the system like a treasure at this time. Regardless of race, this child was the one who had the closest relationship with him and had never been separated.

"Hey, Gafan." The system said depressedly.

"What's wrong, system?" Gafan replied softly with a smile.

"Don't show that expression again in the future, no, otherwise I will be unhappy."

"Haha, well, I promise you, I won't do it again in the future."

"Hehe, that's good... Oh, by the way, there is also the girl named Liya, what are you going to do with her?"

Looking down at those clean blue eyes, Gafan, who was no longer confused at all, replied with a faint smile.

"That child, I will let her choose her own way out... Speaking of which, system, didn't you say before that you wanted me to be an adventurer with you? I agreed."

"Really?"

The clean blue eyes showed a look of expectation and surprise.

Looking at this look, Gafan also touched the other person's head from the bottom of his heart and replied like a coaxing child.

"Really, I will never lie to you."

"Great!"

Sitting happily in each other's arms, the troublesome things were solved, and the system began to be carefree and happy again.

Then, she started to talk to Gafan non-stop about the adventurer stories she read from the database, and about the adventure king system of her own race.

Although these things were said in a somewhat inconsistent way, from time to time they would jump to the topic and talk about another thing.

But Gafan has been listening carefully, and the smile on his face has never disappeared.

He looked down at the carefree little guy in his arms, hugged him a little tighter, and blew in the less cold night breeze.

I felt a little inexplicably lonely inside.

It was peaceful at this time.

He will probably take care of this child like this for the rest of his life.

Ga Fan suddenly had such an idea in his mind, but he just chuckled indifferently, after all...

He was willing to do so.

Chapter 92: The decadent genius swordsman

The early morning sun shines through the window, illuminating the dim room and waking up the people on the bed.

"Monster, monster... don't!"

The unkempt man with dark blue seaweed curly hair suddenly sat up from the bed, covering his face with his hands, sweating profusely, eyes wide open, and breathing heavily uncontrollably.

He looked extremely embarrassed.

"Yes, is it a dream?"

Looking at the room where he had been staying for a while, Brian murmured to himself.

He had had countless nightmares about that night, about that...that monster.

His ears seemed to resound again with the other party's careless attitude of disregard when facing his all-out attack, as well as his comment that "this nail clipper is really too blunt."

Brian's hands couldn't help but deeply wrinkle the quilt on his body.

He was once known as a genius swordsman as famous as the country's strongest warrior Gazef Stronov, and he was sincerely proud of it, but now...

This kind of thing doesn't matter anymore.

After a moment of silence, Brian got out of bed dejectedly. He looked at the sword that was leaning on the bedside table and regarded it as life. After hesitating for a moment, he finally picked it up casually.

As he walked downstairs, the wooden planks of the stairs creaked, and a strong man who was eating bread at the table on the first floor also smiled and said hello when he saw him coming down.

"Hey, Anglaus, I just bought some bread. Come and have breakfast."

"No, Storonov, I don't have much appetite..." Brian looked at the other person and forced a smile with a stiff expression, "I'm going out for a walk today, so you don't have to prepare lunch for me. ”

"Do you still have money with you?" Gazef took a bite of the bread in his mouth and asked with a slight smile without any change in his expression.

"There's a little left, it's enough."

Brian waved goodbye and closed the door.

Looking at his dejected figure as he left, Gazef put down the bread in his hand. After being silent for a while, he finally let out a sigh of regret.

The other party used to be such a proud person, but now he has become such a self-defeating person.
