Home of the Brave

Chapter 23: Witch and knight

"Interference with business?"

Miranda raised her brows and pointed at the black-haired young man angrily. "Who are you?"

"I am the owner of the shop here." The anger of the Witch Maiden is mixed in the divine power, and her coercive level has risen in geometric proportions. But this time Dai Yang didn't look away, pointed to Xia Luwei, and introduced in a calm tone. "Xia Luwei is my wife's wife and the proprietress of this prop shop. Although I don't know what your relationship is with her, but for no reason, I will take away the proprietress of this shop. Isn't this interfering with the business?"

"Wife...wife!?"

For a moment, Miranda's eyes widened, showing a very shocked expression. She looked at Xia Luwei in disbelief, seeming to want a definite answer from her. However, the female knight was also in chaos due to Dai Yang's sudden announcement, staring down at her toes, her face flushed with shame, and she barely dared to touch Miranda's sight.

Dai Yang saw the performance of the two girls in full view, scratched his head in confusion, and then added another sentence.

"Well, we haven't officially held the wedding yet, so maybe it's a bit early to be called a wife, but that's just a formality..."

"Then stop making such jokes!"

The maiden of the wind shot Dai Yang's gaze sharply, her blue eyes seemed to be brewing violent lightning. At the same time, motivated by his anger, a low pressure began to linger on the zenith of the item shop. "Xia Luwei is the daughter of Count Isailay's family, and the only heir to the brave Shuram! As you are a commoner, how can you become her husband?"

"Uh..." Forced by the majesty of the Wind Witch, Dai Yang couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and at the same time couldn't help but feel confused.

Xia Luwei is a descendant of a declining noble, and this status makes her often bullied by other nobles. Originally, Dai Yang thought that the maiden of the wind was one of them, but as far as Miranda’s performance was concerned, what she held towards Xia Luwei did not seem to be malicious—in fact, if she didn’t care about the high-pressure attitude, it seemed even more. It seemed that she was caring for the female knight in her own way. In this regard, if Miranda really cares about Xia Luwei's friend, then he naturally can't be rough.

Dai Yang was confused and speechless. Miranda didn't say a word. The two stared at each other, neither seemed to give in. At this time, the low air pressure on the zenith of the prop store became more and more obvious, and the fast-moving air blew the business book on the counter. If Miranda continues to unleash the power of the treasure, the item shop may only be destroyed by the storm. Dai Yang couldn't help frowning and took a step forward, but at this moment, a cough suddenly came from the side.

"Ahem! Young people nowadays, why are they so impulsive? If you can sit down and have a good conversation, do you have to make blood flow to be happy?"

The unhealthy middle-aged man who watched a long scene next to him seemed to finally remember his responsibilities and walked over while coughing.

(Hey, what are you running out for now?) Dai Yang stared at him sharply.

(My nephew, you can’t do this. You should use softer methods to treat women. It’s up to the gentleman's uncle how I solve it...)

After responding to Dai Yang with his eyes, Sean stood in front of Miranda instead of the two. As if to show his innocence, the tavern owner rubbed his hands and showed a harmless smile.

"Dear Miko, the little one dares to ask a question, can you?"

"...What's the problem?" Miranda's gaze reluctantly turned to Sean, but it was still sharp.

"Well, you said earlier that you came to defeat the Silver Dragon. Is this a lie?"

"...Why do you think so?" The pair of crescent eyebrows moved.

"Because, don't you want to bring Xia Luwei back to the royal capital? Then you can only give up crusade against the silver dragon, right?" Xiao En asked, pointing to Xia Luwei. "Or, do you want to take her to the Dragon's Nest? In this case, the younger one has to say that this is really not a good idea. Miss Miko, you have Albert's protection, but it may be all right, but Xia Luwei is like this. If you go..."

"I didn't plan to take Xia Luwei to the Dragon's Nest." Miranda interrupted Xiao En, but couldn't help showing an annoyed look on her face.

"Then you are planning to take her away after finishing the business?" Xiao En smiled and threw out the answer that had been preset. "If this is the case, it doesn't matter if you don't take Xia Luwei away for the time being? Also, are you not interested in knowing why she stayed in the item shop? Maybe you will change your mind after knowing the facts. "

"…what do you want to say in the end?"

"Well, in fact, no one knows the course of this event better than Xiao Xiao. If Miss Miko is willing to stay in our shop, Xiao Xiao will be happy to tell you everything he knows." Xiao En touched his moustache. Very enthusiastic about the introduction. "Our store is called'Liu Ke Yu', and it is the best hotel in Lanlos Town. It has a comfortable environment, elegant style, fair prices, and childishness... In addition, our store also operates as a tavern, offering Palamia The best wines and all kinds of information about the surrounding town, I wonder if Miss Miko is interested?"

"Um..." Ignoring the enthusiastic invitation of the bad middle-aged, Miranda pressed her finger on her forehead like a headache.

She didn't come to Lanlos Town to enjoy the mountains and rivers. For her, encountering Xia Luwei in the item shop was an accident. Although she said in a rush that she would bring the female knight back to the royal capital, at least she would have to wait until she fulfilled her purpose. Before that, letting Xia Luwei stay in the item shop temporarily was one of the helpless choices. On the other hand, Miranda is also very concerned about the "what happened" mentioned by the mustache tavern owner. She didn't want to force Xia Luwei, but if she wanted to persuade the female knight to return to the capital with herself, she had to know what had happened.

"...I see." Miranda sighed, her expression returning to her original calmness. "None of them are ready today, so I will retreat temporarily... Xia Luwei, I will pick you up after I finish the matter. You will stay here until then, right?"

"Um...Um." Xia Luwei nodded reluctantly.

"That's good. And you, the dark-haired guy."

Miranda's gaze shifted to Dai Yang's body, and the expression in her eyes suddenly became severe. "Now I don't know what happened, so I can't say anything... But if you let me know that you deceived Xia Luwei, swear in the name of Albers, the **** of storm will definitely come to your head! "

"Uh..." Dai Yang scratched his head in confusion. He was more concerned about another thing than the sanctions imposed by the God of Storm. "I said, you'd better not believe too much about the black-bellied middle-aged person. Xia Luwei just listened to him, so she..."

"Humph!"

Before Dai Yang finished speaking, Miranda shook her head and walked out of the item shop in a stride. The tavern owner, known as the "black-bellied middle-aged", made a grimace at the black-haired youth, and then chased him out. After the two people who looked like the eyes of the storm left, the prop shop became quiet for a moment, leaving behind a spot of merchandise that was blown away by the turbulent air current. Dai Yang looked around the store as if swept by a storm, and suddenly woke up.

"Wait! That fierce lady, did she leave without leaving any compensation?"

※※※

As a result, in the face of the mess left by the Wind Witch, Dai Yang and Xia Luwei took a long time to clean up.

After all the commodities were reclassified, the time jumped to near dusk, and the cypress trees outside the window cast a long shadow on the ground, which also meant that the precious day was about to end. Almost half of the business hours are spent cleaning up the mess, which is not a pleasant fact for prop shop owners who are eager to increase their turnover. If it hadn't been for the two hundred lien who had some true brave before, Dai Yang would have been tempted to run to the "Liu Ke Yu" and demand compensation from the perpetrators who lived there.

However, the turnover of Bibailien is not that high, and the fact that there are only a group of guests patronizing the whole day makes the black-haired youth's mood even more low. Just as Dai Yang was lying on the counter, frowning at the sales book, footsteps sounded beside him. He looked up subconsciously, and saw the female knight standing beside her with a guilty expression.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of my relationship..." It seemed that Xia Luwei had counted all the responsibilities on herself.

"What are you talking about? It's none of your business, right?" Dai Yang shook his head, stretched out his hand to sit on Xia Luwei's lap. The female knight did not struggle, but a shy red glow appeared on her face, but Dai Yang liked to appreciate her shy and timid appearance. "Tell me, baby, how was your day? Did you encounter any trouble when you delivered the goods?"

"Hmm...Hmm." Xia Luwei twisted her body slightly, and said shyly: "No trouble, everyone is very kind to me, very enthusiastic... Well, another aunt said that she would help me make a wedding dress..."

"Ah, it's Aunt Marguerite, right? She is the best tailor in town. I really have to ask her then..." Dai Yang put his head close to the female knight's neck and gently inhaled the fragrance of her hair.

"It will be..." Xia Luwei asked in confusion.

"Hello, of course it's our wedding time?" Dai Yang couldn't help but smiled bitterly, and continued to explain. "Actually, according to the custom of my father’s hometown, when the juniors get married, the elders must be present to preside. Because the father is no longer there, I wrote to the uncle and them yesterday, asking them to take time to come to Lanlos Town... well, I guess. It will take about two or three months for them to arrive, but anyway, there is no rush for this kind of thing. It will not be too late for them to prepare after they arrive. What do you think?"

"I...I listen to you..." Xia Luwei buried her head deep into the man's chest. Whether planning a wedding or meeting her husband’s parents, it seems to her that it has exceeded the limit of imagination, so she can only respond like this.

"At that time, you can also let your friends participate, such as the murderous lady just now." Dai Yang asked while admiring the swan-like back neck of the female knight. "Speaking of it, what is the relationship between you and her?"
