However, sometimes accidents happen.……

——I don’t know if it’s because someone was lucky enough to be E.

As expected, garbage is everywhere.

A tall orc with a red face came over, with a bad smell of alcohol in his mouth.

“Hey, kid, this is not the place for you”

“Get out, and the elf stay.”

Xia Ran’s smile widened. What a cliché line. Is this the common language of every world?

“”My guest, you are drunk.”

A black-haired girl in tavern clothes stood in front of Xia Ran.

Xia Ran had been to Fengrao’s hostess many times before, so she naturally remembered these shop assistants.

This girl was Chloe Lolo, with cat ears on her head and a cat tail behind her, indicating that she was a cat person.

She had the same strength as Liu and the others, that is, a lv.4 second-level adventurer.

Perhaps because they were of the same race, Chloe was extremely disgusted by the rudeness of the orcs in front of her.

Her delicate face was full of coldness, and she stopped the orcs from taking any further action in a tough tone.

“Catwoman, you look pretty good too.”

The orc’s tone was contemptuous and deliberately provocative.

Xia Ran stood up from his seat. He didn’t want to hear another word from that mouth.

“Xia Ran……”

Aina looked at him with some worry.

Xia Ran smiled at her gently, then put his hand on Chloe’s shoulder and said to her with a smile:

“Since the incident was caused by me, let me handle it, Chloe.”

Because of Xier, Xia Ran and Chloe are very familiar with each other.

Chloe originally wanted to refuse, after all, it is also the responsibility of the tavern staff to protect the safety of the guests.

But she found that the hand on her shoulder was unusually heavy.

It was a strength that she could not shake even at level 4. The cat girl was stunned.

She had a hidden hobby, which was to be very interested in beautiful boys – shotacon. She had never had a person of the opposite sex that made her heart beat, but when Xier first introduced this boy to them.

She had to admit that she was moved by this black-haired boy. There was no way, meow, that was an outstanding face that was more handsome than the male god.

Coupled with that inexplicable attraction, it would be strange for the cat not to have a good impression of him.

This is also the reason why she came over to stop the orc who wanted to cause trouble just now.

Because he is the one her best friend likes, Coco hides her good impression in her heart.

But now she realizes that in addition to his foul appearance, his strength is also very good.

Sorry, Xier meow, cat, I can’t seem to hold it back anymore…

Xia Ran walked in front of Coco and looked at the orc in front of him with a red face and jealous eyes.

What a boring scum…

Xia Ran clenched his right hand slightly, and then flicked a finger at the orc’s face in the air.

I’m not interested in listening to him spit out another character.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The tavern was filled with the sound of continuous collisions, and finally the orcs disappeared completely in the tavern.

“Sorry to interrupt your meal. All the expenses today will be charged to me.”

“Mia, tell me the cost of the repairs later.

Xia Ran first said gently to the other adventurers in the tavern.

Then he turned to look at the store manager Mia and said that he would bear the cost of destroying the tavern facilities just now.

“”Oh oh oh oh!!”

The other adventurers came back to their senses, raised their glasses and gestured to Xia Ran, and the bustle that had disappeared returned.

Manager Mia looked at Xia Ran with a little surprise and said:

“You have guts, boy.”

“You don’t have to pay for the damage to the table. That drunk guy should pay.”

Xia Ran nodded. If there weren’t so many people in the tavern, the orc would have disappeared completely.

Then Xia Ran returned to his seat and looked at Aina with a hint of apology.

“I’m sorry, Aina. I wanted to make it up to you, but I didn’t expect to encounter such a boring thing.”

“Mia, the environment here is usually pretty good, but my luck seems to be a bit bad today.”

Aina shook her head, indicating that she didn’t care.

“It’s okay. I unexpectedly saw another side of you today.”

“”I had guessed it when you brought so many magic stones during the day. Xia Ran, you are really special.”

Knowing that the boy had not joined the clan, Aina was so worried that he would blindly enter the underground maze.

The pile of magic stones during the day shocked her, but it was not real after all.

After seeing Xia Ran easily knock down the orc adventurer just now, she deeply realized the peculiarity of this boy.

Listening to the talk of the adventurers around, the orc just now was a lv.2 senior adventurer.

Although Aina was full of doubts, why Xia Ran, who did not receive the favor, was so strong.

But her trust in the boy made her not explore his secrets.

“It seems that Xia Ran, you may not need my reminders.”

“This is a bit unnecessary. My previous behavior……”

Seeing Xia Ran’s strength, Aina felt a little depressed.

She was happy that he was strong, so that he would have a high chance of surviving in the exploration of the underground maze.

But she also laughed at herself, thinking that she had lost the only way to help him.

Xia Ran gently placed Aina’s bare hands between his palms.

“Why——!”

Ignoring the girl’s hesitation, Xia Ran looked at her seriously and said:

“The information you told me is very important, Aegina”

“Thanks to you, I can navigate the underground maze so easily.”

“So, don’t belittle yourself.”

“You are an excellent adventurer consultant, I am sure of that.”

It was not a lie. Although Xia Ran had read all the books in the guild library, some information was not recorded on paper. Some of Aina’s advice did provide him with a lot of help.

Even if it was useless, Xia Ran would not allow the girl in front of him to belittle herself like this.

She would be his adventurer consultant, which was decided when they met that day.

“I… I—”

Ever since Xia Ran held her hand, Aina has been wavering.

If it weren’t for her approval, she would never let anyone touch her skin, no matter if it was a man or a woman.

Even when she was young, it was her mother who had always taken care of her. This was the first time she was touched by someone other than her mother, but—she didn’t hate it.

On the contrary, her heart beat faster and faster.

Some kind of burning emotion seemed to be about to erupt from there, and the blood in her body gradually accelerated.

It was obviously her own heart, why did it waver violently with the words of the boy in front of her. It

‘s really a foul, to say that.

Isn’t this completely helpless…

Aina looked at the seriousness and affirmation in the boy’s eyes. Extreme tenderness appeared on his face.

Although her milk-white cheeks were still stained with the girl’s blush, Aina still bravely looked at him

“Thank you, Xia Ran~”

The two of them silently felt the warmth from each other’s hands, and their hearts seemed to be connected because of this.

“Ahem, am I disturbing you? Mr. Xia Ran—”

Xier came over with a perfect smile, her tone was indeed very dangerous.

At this time, there seemed to be a black aura around the girl, which made a certain outsider a little frightened.

Before, she heard that there seemed to be someone making trouble in Xia Ran’s kitchen. Regardless of her previous shyness, Xier hurried out from the back.

As a result, she saw the two people in front of her looking at each other, and a sense of anger and unspeakable bitterness rose in her heart.

“Xier, you are here. I am sorry to have worried you. Thank you.”

Facing the girl’s anger, Xia Ran decisively chose to change the subject, otherwise she would always feel that something”terrible” was happening.

Xier was able to quickly recover from her shyness just now. Naturally, she heard someone was looking for trouble. It was self-evident who she was worried about.

Xia Ran’s emotional intelligence was not low, so naturally she did not respond to Xier’s obviously emotional words.

Thanking Xier for coming back specially, this was the girl’s pure and innocent heart.

“Alas… I always feel that you are inexplicably skilled.”

Hearing Xia Ran’s sincere thanks, Xi’er’s dissatisfaction dissipated for the most part. She was somewhat helpless about his skillful ability to change the subject.

Soon, Xi’er returned with a sincere smile.

After finishing dinner, Xia Ran took Aina back to North Street.
