Chapter 181 "Eighty"

"Um……"

Ok?
Why did I fall asleep again...

"Lin...Lin Man!"

Just now I wanted to test whether the board was strong or not, and then I sat down and fell asleep for some reason.

The pain in the chest was not so bad, but the head started to hurt again. I didn't pay attention to the time just now and didn't know how long I had slept.

Eh?
and many more!

Speaking of which, I was lying on the same bed with someone else, as if it was still my father...

"Lin Man?"

Ethelyn, wrapped in all the quilts, was propping herself up, patting my face and looking at me.

hateful!

She was wearing dirty clothes and wrapped my quilt like this, really... Forget it, what are you fussing about with a little girl.

What's more, I promised to send her home.

"Stop shouting, I heard you."

"you you!"

Look at this shy and incoherent look, don't misunderstand something, right?
"The rich lady who looks gentle and generous, knows the story that sleeping with a man will make her pregnant. "

If I write a novel like this, I think it will receive a lot of attention... Why did I also think of writing such a nutritious novel?

"What about me? You are well wrapped in a quilt. I don't want to say you are selfish. Do you want to rely on me for something?"

It seems that there is no change in his complexion. I guess he still understands the truth. He is simply shy, right?

Fortunately, at least I don't have to worry about explaining the hasty biology to this guy.

"Goo!"

When this guy is unhappy, he will swallow the air in his mouth forcefully and make this weird sound of "cuckoo cluck".

Although it's very readable, it's also quite cute...except for rubbing the snot all over my body.

"Are we attacked?"

Looks slightly worried, but generally calm.

"Well, but we've already escaped."

"Escaped, which means we won't die here, right?"

After seeing me nodding, the nervous girl also let out a long sigh of relief.

"Great!"

It reminded me, even if I have seen this guy now and know that no parts are hurt, I should still pretend to care about her.

"hey-hey……"

When he smiled, he looked beaming.

Others are right, girls always want more attention, right?

"You're not hurt anywhere, are you?"

"Ah."

It's strange to want to touch her head, but considering that this guy might have to make a fierce resistance, why don't you try it next time?

"Okay, if you don't break anything, go on to sleep."

Let's pat her on the back for now. Fortunately, there is no big reaction. Maybe next time I can really pat her head, hehe...

Wait, this feels so weird, why does it give people a...perverted feeling?

whispering sound!
"Well!"

"Lin Man, I can't sleep anymore!"

"Buzz!"

The lighting in the room was still flickering slightly, and it seemed that the energy supply inside the ship hadn't been effectively restored.

Having said that, it seems that the ship is much colder than before. Although the heating of the hull relies on the waste heat of the main engine and does not occupy additional energy supply, but in many cases, other energy sources are needed for ventilation and ventilation.

No wonder this girl wraps herself so tightly...

"Can't sleep, can't sleep, let me tell you a story?"

"Okay!"

"You really expect me to tell you a bedtime story, don't you?"

"Goo!"

She slept a lot, she should have been sleeping since I brought her back and took a shower, and she had a meal in between, so it's normal to not be able to fall asleep.

"Lin Man~!"

Ahh... this is making my teeth sore!

Although it is a good thing that a little girl is willing to ask you to act like a spoiled child, it is considered to trust you very much, and subjectively regards you as someone who is willing to pamper her.

but……

"Illegal acting like a baby is strictly prohibited!"

"Humph!"

Hahaha, is this angry?

"I'm a person who doesn't speak or have any emotion. It's not good to tell stories."

"This reason sounds like it was made up on the spot, but unfortunately it is the truth."

"Goo!!"

"Why don't you tell me a story?"

The puffy Ethelyn looks very cute. I admit that I do lack experience in socializing with the opposite sex, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate beauty.

"Shall I tell a story?"

"Well, I'm not good at telling stories, can you just teach me?"

Suddenly a sense of guilt came out of my heart, because I thought of starting her backstory from here?

I'm really not alone...

"But I don't know what story to tell?"

It seems that how to overcome the sense of guilt is also a very profound knowledge!
"Tell me about how you got to the league's territory, okay?"

After hearing my words clearly, Ethelyn's expression was slightly stiff, although she was not in high spirits, but she was still happy.

It can be noticed that her mood has obviously become a little depressed.

"Um……"

Did you think of something bad?
It feels like this guy is not unwilling to say it, but his emotions become depressed when he thinks about it.

"If you really don't want to, it's better to..."

"If you're really curious, Lin Man, then...it's okay to tell you."

Just when I was condemned by my guilt and was about to skip the topic directly, I was interrupted by Ethelyn.

"I'm glad you trusted me."

This is a truth, a rare whole-hearted truth... At least it can make the big eyes that are looking at me at this moment feel the true sincerity in my heart.

"I also forgot about how long ago, I took Mharassin shopping in the commercial street of Kania IV."

I have never heard of a person's name and a place name, but judging from the fluency of her speech, it should not be made up now.

From what I know of her, she doesn't have this ability either.

"Just as we were wandering into a store that sold holographic games and were about to go in to experience the latest super masterpiece of this season, someone attacked Mharasim from behind."

"They wore uniform black clothing and strangled her tightly."

she?
It's also a woman... that's right, most of the girls are more willing to go shopping with each other.

"Then I realized what had happened. Just as I wanted to yell, I was hugged from behind, and then something covered my mouth, and I passed out."

Being covered by something, probably an inhaled anesthetic, is it a naked kidnapping in the street?
Putting other things aside, this method is too violent and inferior, right?

"Do you know who captured you?"

"Well, no... don't know, because I was so nervous at the time, so I just yelled at Mharasim, but..."

Just about to say something, but as if remembering something, Ethelin's voice stopped abruptly, she just kept her mouth open but didn't make any more sound.

But I can also guess what she will say next.

I said before that from my standpoint, I don't know the identity of the opposite party at all, but after this turning point, I should express how much I can get some clues from other places.

"But what is that..."

"Mharasim!"

He actually took the initiative to help me out, it seems that my guess is completely correct.

"But Mharrasin told you, she probably guessed who these people were, didn't she?"

He suddenly looked away, then lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't want to look into my eyes anymore.

Humph, tell me right?
"Um……"

But fortunately, she didn't hide too much, and she immediately nodded in agreement after being seen through by me.

"She said it was probably a subordinate of the Western candidate."

Western candidate, although this answer is within my expectations, it still feels a little magical to hear it with my own ears. At least I shouldn't use such despicable and low-level methods to kidnap people, right?

But when one thinks about the social environment of the empire, the orders issued layer by layer will be understood at each level, which is actually not unacceptable.

People with a considerable background are actually unwilling to be involved in this level of struggle, and they can use it at will, and of course they can only use the corresponding means and methods.

Speaking of which, the person who caught her on the boat before seemed to be from the power of the Western candidate. Of course, I don't know what kind of power it is.

At least in the end, it can be seen from the man's willingness to believe me and demand that I fulfill my promise, and they have orders to take her back safely.

hostage……

Her role is indeed just a hostage.

"I won't offend the prince-elect of the empire because I saved a girl, right?"

It's hard to imagine what kind of mood I was holding that I spit out such a trough.

"You can rest assured, I will protect you!"

It's also hard to imagine what kind of mood he was holding, this guy actually took it seriously...

"Hey, thank you!"

"It was Lin Man who protected me, so I will protect Lin Man too!"

The confident appearance is worthy of praise, but...well, I am still just a child after all. Although the language seems very simple, the logic actually makes me unable to find fault.

As for protecting me from Western candidates, ha, I can only accept her kindness with a wry smile and nod.

But having said that, isn't this the most important reason for me to contact her?

She may not really be able to help, but with her relationship...

Alas, after much deliberation, I still feel that I am really nothing!

"I was serious!"

It may be that seeing me fall into silence, Ethelyn felt a different kind of provocation, and continued to pat her chest hard to give me a sense of reliability.

"Haha, good, good!"

"I will definitely come to you for help when I encounter difficulties in the future. Don't think I'm troublesome then?"

Sincerity is the nirvana, what else can I say to such a serious girl?

Of course I can only nod in agreement...

"And then, after you were captured by them, where were you taken?"
