I really only stop

"Pushed by that fellow Zelika."

Mentioning this, Lu Xi shrugged helplessly:

"She insisted that something bad happened to you because of your behavior last night, and she was afraid that her stupid mouth would touch your wound, so she pushed me to ask about the situation - she is obviously a stupid, Zelika You are still worried about our ice-snow-smart Holy Empress."

"Ice, Bingxue is smart..."

Because of the random thoughts just now, Yuxia's hands subconsciously made prayer movements, and her eyes looked at Lu Xi anxiously:

"Lu Xi also thought my behavior last night...was weird?"

"It must be strange."

Under Yuxia's eyes that instantly became dull, Lu Xi thought for a while:

"After all, you are usually reliable and gentle. Verbs like weeping and weeping are usually only suitable for Zelika. I never thought that it would be useful to you one day."

Sure enough, Lu Xi hated him.

Blinking her eyes vigorously, Yuxia wanted to block the sourness gradually spreading from her eye sockets in this way.

But... I can't stop...

Just when Yuxia wanted to cover her face with the quilt to cover up her inner loss, she suddenly heard the person in front of her say:

"—However, Zerika and I both think that Yushia like this is pretty good."

"Eh? Very, very good?"

Raising her head blankly, Yuxia's eyes flashed with incomprehension from the bottom of her heart:

"What do you mean by very good?"

"Of course it refers to the [cute] aspect!"

Expressing his thoughts openly, Lu Xi gave a thumbs up:

"Excellent! If the full score is [-], Zerika and I give Yuxia a high score of [-] last night! The cuteness is second only to the first time you came to the imperial capital, you clumsy lie trying to hide it The appearance of my own identity~"

Ten or eleven points?

so cute】?

"This, what is this!!"

Quite rare, after hearing Lu Xi's words, Miss Saintess blushed and turned her head away not to look at him, and raised her voice angrily:

"Isn't this a complete bully! Whether it was that time or this time, I have deep reasons! I think Lu Xi and Celica who look at me with the above thoughts are too superficial! Out of tune! Sourness!"

Fortunately, I was still seriously worried about his thoughts, but I actually got such an answer!

Jane, she looks like an idiot!

"That's right, it's not a good thing to express your emotions candidly like last night and now."

Seeing the girl's behavior completely within his expectations, Lu Xi couldn't help laughing:

"In the past, Yuxia kept smiling even when she was angry. Although doing so can bring you an unexpected sense of oppression, expressing dissatisfaction when angry and shedding tears when sad, these It's also very important."

"..."

Miss Saintess turned her head away from Lu Xi with an angry look on the surface, but in fact she involuntarily raised her ears and listened carefully to his words.

"As we grow older, the frequency of our crying or anger is greatly reduced. It seems that the emotion is a lot less, but in fact, it's just because we are better at hiding it."

Seeing the girl's small movements completely in his eyes, Lu Xi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but did not choose to poke it out:

"However, it is precisely because of this that those who cry bravely are even more admirable. There is nothing to be ashamed of. As I said just now, no one will hate Yuxia because of what happened last night. On the contrary, you who showed a straightforward side are indeed cute on the outside."

"...Really, why can Lu Xi say such things without hesitation..."

Muttering in a tone that seemed to be complaining, Yuxia finally turned her head slightly, and looked at Lu Xi secretly from the corner of her eye:

"Is it really enough to just express your inner feelings?"

Lu Xi nodded: "Well, that's right."

"Then, well then!"

Sighing brokenly, Yuxia looked at Lu Xi seriously:

"Last night, I became a little different from my usual self."

"I want to keep the specific matters secret, but after experiencing what happened last night, I feel a little strange, as if I want to say something, but I can't find a way to express it anyway."

With a voice so small that it was almost inaudible, for the first time, Miss Saintess made a request to Lu Xi:

"So... can you lend me your shoulder? It's all right."

"of course."

Lucy smiled and sat by the girl's bed:

"Happy to serve, Your Royal Highness."

"No, don't call me that..."

Pounding Lu Xi's chest lightly, Yushia gently and lightly leaned her head on his shoulder.

"……thanks."

"Ah."

Not a gentle and reliable saint, not a noble and awe-inspiring princess, just like what is sung in any ordinary love poem, the girl leans her head on the shoulder of her sweetheart, listening to the breathing that is close at hand, seriously Counting his own and his heartbeats.

Slowly, the two heartbeats with different frequencies overlapped together, forming a wonderful resonance that no band in the world can describe.

The sun shines into the room through the window sill, but the time is as beautiful as quiet at this moment.

What a morning.

Chapter 358 Want to Dunk on Murphy's Head

"Yes, sorry!!!"

"?"

Looking at Nana who suddenly bowed deeply to the two of them in front of him, the emperor who was discussing something, and Mephis looked at each other, feeling a little surprised at the same time.

"Nana, get up."

As expected of His Majesty the current emperor, after reacting in a very short time, Tesla's tone softened a bit:

"If you want to apologize, you must have a reason. In my opinion, you haven't done anything to apologize to me."

"This... this..."

Facts have proved that despite trying to muster up the courage to take the initiative to talk to His Majesty the emperor who has an aura of calmness, Nana is still the soft girl who is not good at talking to people.

Facing His Majesty's inquiry, she subconsciously turned her head to look at her teammates as her mind went blank for a moment.

"Cough, Your Majesty Tesla, Nana means to apologize for what happened yesterday."

Sensing the panic and pleading for help in Ruanmei's eyes, Lu Xi coughed lightly:

"You were entrusted by you to help protect the orb, but in the end it was taken away by the enemy. Nana feels very ashamed."

"Oh! Come on, come on, get up."

I've probably never seen such an honest child like Ruanmei. After exchanging glances with the emperor, Mephis quickly helped Nana up:

"What do you have to apologize for? The main reason for last night's results was the storm's misjudgment and His Majesty's ineffective command. If you have to say it, I also have a little bit of responsibility for being attacked by the enemy. I have nothing to do with you. It doesn't matter."

"Mei Fei, can you say something human!"

Since there was no one else around except Lu Xi's team, the emperor felt relieved and blew his beard and stared at the smiling and hurting prime minister in front of him:

"None of the three of us can escape last night's responsibility, especially you, who fell from the sky just by looking at each other, and you need me to save you! You don't mind being ashamed, and I will be ashamed for you!"

"Ah, Your Majesty, you can't say things like that~"

The action couldn't help but pause, but Mephis showed a hearty smile on his face:

"Although I am very grateful to you for saving me, from the perspective of the overall situation, you should pay more attention to the situation of the orb at that time. When your team is in chaos, the enemy is most likely to take advantage of it ——You should know this truth better than me.”

"...Cut, forget it, I can't beat you."

It's not the emperor's character to bicker with the magician here. He simply picked up the hammer and raised his chin at Mephis, whose body froze suddenly:

"To save face, go one?"

"—Your Highness Yuxia, save me!"

Seeing the astonishing oppressive force emanating from the emperor, Mephis, who is the chief of the imperial capital, didn't even have the slightest intention of resisting. After an exaggerated wailing, he ran up behind Yuxia:

"Your Majesty is going to use force to beat me, the powerless prime minister of the empire! If things go on like this, Your Majesty will break the trust of the people!"

"..."

Surprised by Mephis' lack of respect for his elders, the emperor's hand holding the hammer froze in place, neither hitting nor not hitting.

I understand the reason why Fallon, who was far away in Laine City, sent a message last time saying, 'I want to dunk on Murphy's head'.

Just wait, wait until Yuxia and the others leave!

After glaring at the grinning magician viciously, the emperor put down his warhammer and said to Nana, who was still a little uneasy:

"As we just said, last night's mistakes were all on me and Meifei. As for Nana and Yuxia, not only do you not need to be responsible for this matter, on the contrary, you should also be rewarded—especially Nana, you The puppet talent shown this time is really amazing.”

This is the true thought from the emperor's heart.

In the battle last night, although the attacks of the dolls were harmlessly neutralized by the enemy's [Phantom], Tesla, as a powerful combat expert, naturally would not think that the dolls were just ostentatious.

With different abilities and different weapons, each doll that Nana took out has a good momentum, and the cooperation shown is an eye-opener for the emperor.

It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, the emperor always felt that some fine operation coordination between them was difficult to use by Nana alone.It feels like dolls have their own [consciousness].

...That's right, how can it be so simple for a child who can be teammates with my daughter.

Thinking of this, the emperor glanced at Memphis proudly, his chest straightened even more:

"The previously mentioned rewards are still valid. The Royal Treasure Vault is now open to you, use the materials in it to make more dolls that amaze me!"

"But, but..."

If it were someone else, they might have been overjoyed and agreed long ago.However, Nana still rubbed her little hands uneasily:

"Obviously you were entrusted to protect the orb, and even though the orb has been stolen, you, who suffered the loss, were asked to provide us with additional rewards..."

"【bear the loss】?"

After listening to Nana's words with a strange expression, the emperor and Mephis looked at each other, and suddenly let out loud laughter at the same time:

"Hahaha!"

"Eh? Eh?"

Looking helplessly at the two elders laughing in front of her, Nana panicked for a moment:

"His Majesty the Emperor? Mr. Memphis? How did you..."

"Nai Nai, we are not the party that [suffers a loss]."

Wiping away the tears that came out of laughter, seeing that the emperor didn't come out to explain, Mephis smiled and patted Nana's shoulder:

"A living cadre of the Demon King's Army is useless in the current [intermission] period. It is a waste of resources to shut it down, and it is too troublesome to remove it. It is better to release it. Anyway, even if he returns to the Demon Realm, in the absence of the Demon King Under the circumstances, it is destined that there will be no disturbances—on the contrary, the information obtained last night is even more important."

"Last night? Information?"

Unexpectedly, the emperor and Mephis behaved like this, Nana thought hard, and shook her head blankly:

"No, didn't I get any information? Both of the cadres wore masks to conceal their identities, and they were very careful in their words... Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor and Mr. Mephis just wanted to comfort me—"

"I never comfort people, nor will I have such thoughts."

Shaking his head slightly, the emperor said seriously:

"You're right. The other party is very careful in everything. It's just this care that reveals certain facts—as you just said, why are these two cadres wearing masks?"

Nana tilted her head: "Is it to cover up your real identity?"
