I really only stop

"Because I'm Lucy's teammate. I asked Ms. OL just now, and she told me that the adventurer team's partners should act together."

This is another characteristic of the healing system - is it natural?Sister, our temporary team has obviously been disbanded?

"Just, just now!"

As if seeing what Lu Xi was thinking, Nana seemed to have exhausted all her strength to raise her voice:

"I, we have already registered as an official team!"

"……what?"

Lu Xi was taken aback, and tapped between himself and Nana with his finger: "Formal team? How is it possible, there are only three of us..."

poke.

"Hey, are you there? See me?"

Mastering the 'funny' expression without a teacher, Celica stretched out a finger and kept poking Lu Xi's waist:

"I said this little brother, it's very inappropriate to say something like a farewell and then turn around and leave like just now? You didn't see it, the cute Nana cried right then."

Nana was startled, and raised her hands in protest: "Cry! I, I didn't..."

Thinking about it this way, my farewell to them just now seems a bit too direct...

Looking at Nana's red eye circles, Lu Xi was slightly taken aback.

At that time, I thought that although I had known each of them for a long time, in their eyes, I was just a strange man who had just known each other for less than a day.If she behaved very close, she would definitely be regarded as a person with the same brain problems as Celica, so she took the initiative to choose the normal way of saying goodbye.

However, now it seems... things are not that simple?

"In order to comfort the crying Nana, Yushiya and I have exhausted all means."

Moving behind the flushed Nana like a ghost, Celica looked towards Lu Xi while hugging her:

"Finally, it was under my knowing eyes that I found a solution—ah, Yushia [slightly] came up with [a little] idea—that is, let me join your team to fill this last gap." There is a vacancy. Ms. OL is also willing to help us with various formalities, so..."

Instead, she hugged Lu Xi's neck affectionately, and Celica smiled broadly:

"Congratulations! Feel supremely honored! With my jet-black magic sword user joining your team, the gate to the ultimate world will open immediately!"

"..."

Ignoring Celica's nonsense, Lu Xi looked at Nana who was still cautiously looking at her side despite her blushing face, a flash of understanding flashed in her heart.

Why didn't I think of it before, although the time of acquaintance may indeed be only one day, but for Nana, I may, may, probably also be her [first] friend.

—Of course, I mean friends other than those dolls.

Thinking about Nana's actions afterwards, even if I used Time Stop to escape from her house, when I encountered difficulties in receiving the quest, she mustered up the courage to come to me and talk to me, helping me get rid of the embarrassment of not being able to accept the quest.

If you think about it in this way, I rashly said that the disbandment of the temporary team was indeed a bit sudden to Nana.Does she think that my announcement of the disbandment of the temporary team is tantamount to saying goodbye to her?

"...I'm sorry, Nana."

Scratching her head embarrassingly, Lu Xi sighed: "I didn't think carefully about my previous behavior. In fact, I also have my own reasons for doing that, but it's just not convenient for me to speak."

"No, it's okay, I didn't mean to question Lu Xi. I just wanted to say..."

Nana waved her hands anxiously, but when she was about to say her question, she timidly turned her gaze away:

"Now that we have formal team qualifications, Lucy, are you... still willing to join?"

The hope in the girl's words in front of me is so touching, but the timidity of being rejected by others is very distressing.

Facing such a lovely and pitiful girl, the protagonist subconsciously opened his mouth——

"I--"

"Of course Lu Xi can't refuse!"

Directly breaking the environment with a slightly different atmosphere, Celica smiled heartlessly:

"This is the off-season for adventurers to register. If you miss this ready-made team, the adventurers who are alone will not even be able to enter the door of the maze. They can only wait pitifully for that day. There may not be many Solo mission—hey! Why are you looking at me like that? I just had an experience!"

In other words, was this idiot alone at this time a year ago?At what age did you become an adventurer?

However, the idiot Celica really hit the mark this time.

Before, Lu Xi only thought about living a leisurely life for the next two months, but ignored whether he would be able to find a suitable teammate who needed to continue doing tasks after two months.

It was really lucky to meet Nana and Yuxiya today, and Ms. OL's secret help through the back door was also indispensable.Without these, in the face of the solo missions that Celica has already snatched up, Lu Xi really can only wander around looking for wild events from time to time.

Two months later, who knows if it will be as smooth as it is today?Do you want to gamble on the possibility of encountering a solo mission?

As if seeing what Lu Xi was thinking, Celica made up the knife and said: "Ah, if I fail to form a team today, then I will stick to the bulletin board of the guild every day in the future, and will not let someone Some people received solo missions, huh? Hmm~ After all, I also want to have dinner~"

...The speech that seemed to block my way back actually gave me a step down without any trace.Is this guy fake smart or really stupid?

Slapping Celica's little hand off his shoulder, Lu Xi shrugged:

"I didn't say I would quit the team, but is there any problem with Yuxia? At that time, I forced her to be an adventurer. Maybe they have other plans?"

"I don't mind~"

Yuxia smiled slightly, and there seemed to be some subtle emotions in her narrowed eyes:

"I came here to experience a different life from before. Adventurers were an option from the beginning, not to mention—hmm! From this point of view, everyone has no objection. Does this mean..."

Celica held Lu Xi with one hand and Nana with the other, and rushed towards Yuxia who covered her mouth and smiled lightly:

"——Our adventurer team is officially established at this moment!!!"

PS: This team is interesting

Chapter 24 Crown Translator

Now that the team has been formally formed, Nana and Celica will be given the task of entertaining Lu Xi and Yushiya who have just arrived in Rhine City.

Obviously, Nana's small house can only sleep one more person, and according to Celica herself, the load capacity of her temporary tree house can only increase the space for one additional person.Therefore, the three girls resolutely ignored Lu Xi's normal speech of "Why don't Yuxia and I go to the hotel to open two rooms" and made a lottery paper to decide who would stay with whom for a night.

...so why don't you let me stay in a hotel?

Sighing slightly, Lu Xi casually picked up a lottery paper, and when he was about to open it, he heard Celica say:

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Give VVVIP treatment as a gift, and tell the glorious history of my battle of wits and courage with evil for a whole night for the lucky one who draws me~”

[time stop].

Resolutely turned on the time stop, Lu Xi turned over his lottery paper and found that Celica's name happened to be written on it.

Unlucky, I just happened to get this guy.

Ok?Don't understand what I'm talking about?

Think about her introduction just now, I will delete those exaggerated descriptions that are so gorgeous that people get blue veins, and translate it in human language for you to listen to:

"My family lives in a tree. If you get a lottery to live in my house, I will bother you by nagging at your pillow all night."

How about it?Do you understand now?

I heard that fools and smoke like high places before, and now it seems that they are indeed so.

Sorry, Yushia.

Suppressing the moral condemnation in his heart, Lu Xi shoved the note with Celica's name into Yushia's hand with a look of resentment, and took the note from Nana himself.

time-stop release.

"Ah, I got it~"

Yuxia smiled innocently, and tilted her head slightly: "Then Celica, I will give you a lot of advice tonight?"

Celica returned a thumbs up: "Well! Leave it to me!"

--------

After nightfall in Rhine City, different places have different scenes.

The area centered on the Adventurer's Guild is undoubtedly the most lively.The adventurers who finished the day's commission bought a lot of cheap ale with the hard-earned task rewards during the day, and bragged about their legendary experience with others at the wine table-I don't know if it's because the daily activities are too dangerous. Investors generally have no awareness of saving money.

And the places further outside, near the residential areas, are much quieter.Ordinary people don't have the bad habit of partying all night, and they often fall asleep at this time.

Walking on the path leading to Nana's hut, looking at the back of the girl in front of her, Lu Xi hesitated, and said:

"...Why don't I go to a hotel? I've completed so many tasks today, so I'm not short of money."

Without Celica's gags, Lu Xi couldn't imagine how he would spend a night with a quiet girl.

If there is no topic to talk about, the atmosphere will be very tense, okay?I'm new here, so I'm not sure what topics girls in this world like to talk about!

Dry!Should have forced myself to find a hotel earlier!

Compared to Lu Xi's embarrassment, Nana looked back a little puzzled: "Huh? Why?"

"Bi, after all, look, I'm a man, right?"

Lu Xi tried to explain: "There should be a lot of inconvenience..."

"But, we are partners in [a team]?"

Nana bit the word 'a small team' very hard: "Besides, Lu Xi saved me again this morning. I will feel very sorry if I ask you to find a hotel now."

"That's it..." Looking at the clarity in the girl's eyes that didn't seem to be fake, Lu Xi couldn't say anything more, "Since Nana doesn't mind, I'm fine."

The two walked for a while on the quiet path.

"...Actually, I am very happy today!"

"Ok?"

Hearing Nana's sudden emotion, Lu Xi raised her head, but the girl didn't turn her head back like before, but just walked forward:

"I used to be very envious when I saw other adventurer teams. Although their appearances, professions, and even personalities are very different, the adventurers who make up the team are very kind and honest with each other, and the relationship is so good that even others can see it at a glance. out of the way."

Is it the combination of strong men, strong men, muscular men and strong men in the guild today?

Yes, probably not...

Not sure what the girl meant, Lu Xi softly agreed: "After all, adventurers are not a safe profession. If you don't cooperate well, you may even lose your life."

Take today's bunch of collection tasks as an example, just taking out the crusade against the red wolf is dangerous enough.If Lu Xi didn't have the ability to stop time, ten more of them might not be able to pose a threat to a ferocious and fast-moving beast.

Ordinary adventurers will form a team to accept the commission after they are ready to hand over their lives to their teammates.

"Well, so, since then, I have been thinking 'if only I could meet such a companion someday'."

Nana, who was walking in front, nodded slightly, with a little happiness and yearning in her tone:

"Lu Xi is really a very amazing person. He suddenly appeared and rescued me when I felt hopeless, and then let me join the team, and met Yuxia and Celica... Well, although Celica Lika looked a bit odd, but I could tell she was a really nice person."

Did you hear that, Celica?Someone actually commented on you as an idiot, I have to thank you for you.

"So! I also want to do something for my partner, my teammates, and my savior!"

Hearing the girl's slightly high-pitched tone, Lu Xi raised his head in astonishment, but just met Nana's bright and clear smile:

"Besides, this is the first time my friend has come to live in my house! Please let me entertain Lucy~"

...The worries that were boring before completely disappeared under this smile.

Nana is sincerely happy for my arrival, just knowing this is enough.

Since crossing, it has been a long trek in the forest, and the cos miners are clanging and knocking on stones, and finally passed this long day.Before, because of the mountain of countdown, I didn't have the time to feel tired, and I hardly had the time to stop and be lonely and other life philosophies.

Maybe it wasn't until the moment when I saw Nana's smile just now that I really took a 'break'.

Call ~

Lu Xi lowered his head and inhaled, opened his eyes, and then showed a foolish smile on his face:

"—Understood! I am very difficult to serve! Don't cry when the time comes!"

"Ok!"

Chapter 25 Have You Seen Dead Silence?

Hello everyone, I'm Lu Xi, the time-stopping ability holder of the part-time traveler.Of course, in order to avoid being directly wiped out by the world, I didn't tell anyone about my time-stop ability, even the system I own.

After all, the ability to stop time is the biggest reliance on my ability to survive the fatal three hours.Although the reason why the world wiped me out was 'a major threat to the world itself', it is not difficult to see that the world itself does not know what specific abilities I have, otherwise it would not give a countdown related to [time] like three hours warn.As long as I keep concealing it, I can use stop-stop to procrastinate until the end of my normal lifespan.
