I really only stop

"Go, go, what are you blocking your sight from here, you brat, where are Yuxia and those two children? Come to grandpa, grandpa brought good things from the sanctuary as gifts~"

This troublesome old man has definitely engraved the words "preferring women over men" to his bones.

Due to the arrangements made in advance before coming to the guild, Lu Xi turned sideways after making preparations for 'starting and stopping if something goes wrong', revealing the three girls behind him.

"Grandpa Pope, I haven't seen you for a while, I am relieved to see that you are still in good spirits~"

With an impeccable and perfect smile on her lips, Yuxia gave a slight salute to the Pope:

"After leaving Sanctuary, I miss you every day, but if you want to see me, you can tell me to let me find you. You are usually so busy, how do you find time to come here? "

"Ah this."

The bright smile on the Pope's face froze suddenly, but he quickly covered it up with a light cough:

"Then what, everything is safe in the sanctuary recently, and the sages see that I work hard on weekdays, so they specifically strongly request that the Pope take a leave-ah, even though I want to continue working, but the sages are determined, even A special vote was held for this purpose, but in desperation I can only obey the majority.”

It's absolutely a lie. I still remember the way you used holy magic to eat the Holy Light Butterfly that sent you a letter calling you to work last time.

Although Lu Xi complained in his heart, Yuxia smiled and nodded as if she didn't hear the flaws in Mian Xia's words:

"I see. Since Grandpa Pope has come to Rhine City, as half of the host, I must entertain you well. Is there any place you want to go in particular?"

"Huh?! Do you want to take me out to play?!"

Hearing Yuxia's words, the eyes of His Majesty the Pope were filled with 'joy':

"Anywhere is fine! As long as I can be with you, even if it's helping that stinky boy, Faron, with his official duties!"

"That's good, then let me entertain you~"

"Um!!!"

……

Everything seemed very normal. Ever since meeting Berendo, Yuxia has not revealed Nana's character at all, and her every move is as gentle and polite as normal.

However, if you think things are that simple, you are very wrong.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the positions of the four members of Lu Xi's team are just a seamless rhombus.As a corner, Yuxia has been facing the Pope's crown head-on, while the remaining three people are protecting her firmly from the left, right and back respectively.

There is no other way, after all, behind the calm smile on Yuxia's face——

"Weak and weak, Yuxia's hands behind her back are shaking all the time."

Slightly tiptoeing, Celica leaned close to Lu Xi's ear, and reported in a low voice:

"Is she still nervous about being exposed to so many people? I'm a little worried about her."

"me too."

Lu Xi also responded in a low voice:

"However, what I'm worried about is that the mind is full of good things... will the gentlemen think that I'm stuffing Yuxia after seeing this scene...."

"?"

…Sorry, Zerika in the saint mode is too perfect, but it makes people want to be stupid on purpose to provoke her to complain.

Looking away from Celica's suspicious eyes, Lu Xi looked at Miss Saintess's trembling hands, and sighed helplessly.

Going back to the clichéd question before, Yuxia’s current state is like an initialized Nana. She will definitely be nervous when talking to strangers, and she will feel uncomfortable even if she touches the sight of strangers and becomes the focus of people.To put it simply, it is a complication of Nanai syndrome - squatting at home in the late stage.

Back then, the shy soft girl huddled at home every day to carve dolls, until she met the few of us by chance, she gradually became cheerful-this process was said to be easy, but in fact it took a lot of time.

but……

Listening to Yuxia's smooth conversation with Mianxia, ​​Lu Xi's eyes became a little weird again.

Can Yuxia actually stand up to the huge debuff of Nana Syndrome, and just show this normal posture of full social power?

Don't think that this is something that can be done with ordinary willpower alone. It is no exaggeration to say that the difficulty that Yuxia is overcoming now is definitely at the same level as the cockroach that made Cowardly Rika touch the darkness with her bare hands!

Is my [wish fulfillment] reward really that attractive to her?

【At this time, no one would have thought that this was the last thought that flashed through the host's mind before ushering in the end of the blood—】

'Roll the ball!Don't give me such an unlucky narration! '

Chapter 581

Facts have proved that, except for Lu Xi, the 'male vixen', the Pope's attitude towards other young people is absolutely kind and friendly.

Instead of ignoring the other two girls because he was focusing on reminiscing with Yuxia, Berendo greeted Nana and Celica with a smile:

"Kid Nana, kid Celica, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How is the situation recently? Has kid Nana become more cheerful? Will kid Celica still be as naughty as before?"

"Wahhahahaha! Pope of the Holy Light, the cowardly and reticent Yu in the past is the bubble of the setting sun yesterday, and now standing in front of you is the well-deserved Lord of the Emperor's Army, a brand new warrior with supreme power." King!"

"Haha, Da Vinci, look, little Celica is still happy as always...wait a minute."

His Majesty the Pope wanted to turn sideways to discuss with Da Vinci, but just as he turned his head, his natural movements froze in place:

"Although the tone is exactly the same as in memory, this voice is not Celica's child, but more like... Nana?"

how come?Kid Nana should be a shy, introverted and good boy. According to my impression, even if someone beats her with a knife behind her, it is impossible for her to say such shameful words?

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Majesty."

Before His Majesty's head turned around, a gentle voice sounded beside him, who was obviously very familiar, but his tone and the impression in his mind couldn't match. Faced with Celica's clean and warm smile:

"Please rest assured, we are all in good condition. But you yourself, when you get older, you must take good care of your body~"

"I see—no."

Because the other party's smile was too similar to the usual Miss Saintess, she felt a little dazed. After a short moment of silence, the Pope, who finally came back to his senses, pressed Celica's shoulder with concern:

"... Lu Xi hit you?"

"No way!"

Lu Xi was startled, and his eyes were full of accusations when he looked at His Majesty:

"Your Majesty the Pope, how can you defile people's innocence out of thin air!"

"Then you are here to explain what is going on with this overly obedient child in front of the old man."

Glancing lightly at Lu Xi, Berendo turned his gaze back to Celica, his tone full of care and encouragement like the Women's Federation:

"It's okay, Celica. With grandpa here, that brat doesn't dare to mess around, so you can tell grandpa honestly, does it mean that Lu Xi thinks you are too disobedient, so he won't give you food if you make trouble again?" Eat' immoral speech to threaten you to act like you are now?"

You are enough, you troublesome old man!Do I look like this kind of scum middle-aged man who abuses his wife when he returns home because everything goes wrong? !

"No."

Fortunately, Celica, who is in the state of a saint, will not deliberately pick on Lu Xi like usual:

"Weak Xi usually treats me very well. I remember last time I helped him make him very comfortable, and he even gave me a lot of thick yogurt to drink."

"Oh."

His Majesty the Pope smiled and drew out the scepter.

"—It's [Backbeating] very comfortable, and the yogurt is just a common trial product made by Osiris, the kind that can be sold!"

Before the super beautiful diamond-encrusted scepter came into close contact with his head, Lu Xi gave an explanation with a strong desire to survive:

"Your Majesty, don't think too much. It is said that a girl in her prime looks different every day. Maybe Celica suddenly wants to be a good girl for a few days after reading some weird book."

"That's right, Berendo."

To Lucy's surprise, old man Da Vinci, who had been drinking tea quietly after greeting him, actually spoke up at this moment:

"Nowadays is different from ours. It's not incomprehensible for young people to take on a new look when they meet—not to mention, even 30 or [-] years ago, you can imagine how those people looked at it back then. Can a brat who is so muddy and unable to support the wall now become an important minister of the empire?"

"It's still 'mud can't support the wall', obviously your own son is also in it-now these boys are hard-winged, if they go together again, I probably can't beat them with my old bones."

As if thinking of something particularly interesting, His Majesty smiled and shook his head:

"That's right. Kid Celika always remembers when she comes out. Even if it's like Lu Xi said, 'read a book and be good for a few days', it's not impossible—but, how can this child Nana grow up so big? The change?"

It is understandable that Celica's change of behavior is developing in a good direction, but that child Nana has become very strange just now.

If the originally obedient Nana child accidentally goes astray, Lu Xike, as the guardian, will bear full responsibility——

"Nai, what is Nana, yes! It's a belated puberty!"

Feeling the threat from the eyes of the Pope so clearly, Lu Xi hurriedly came up with an excuse. In order to increase his credibility, he even deliberately replaced the voice of Assassin:

"With the arrival of the gift called [Growth], every child will enter the sweet dream called puberty. And because our Nana has less communication with other people, puberty comes a little later than others— — that makes sense."

"Um……?"

"—That's right, that's right, I think so too, old man."

At the critical moment when Berendo was half-believing, Mr. Da Vinci, who was drinking tea, spoke again unhurriedly:

"If you want to talk about abnormal puberty, my family Ke Laier also has this situation. However, unlike Nana's child, Ke Lai Er's puberty is almost as short as it is, watching her granddaughter seem to become younger than herself in the blink of an eye. My son still looks mature, old man, I really have mixed feelings in my heart."

A certain prime minister who is discussing imperial affairs with the emperor's uncle:

"Ah!"

Nice cooperation, old man Da Vinci!

Lu Xi showed a thumbs up to Mr. Da Vinci very covertly, and got a wink from the other party.

"...Why do you always feel like you guys are singing oboe and playing me?"

He looked at Lu Xi and Da Vinci suspiciously, and at the end, His Majesty the Pope didn't seem to see any tricks:

"Forget it, there are very few young blood in Sanctuary. I don't think I can catch up with the two of you in terms of understanding of young people. Since you said it is puberty, then it is true that Nana's child is puberty."

"call."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in Lu Xi's heart finally dropped a little.

It was definitely an unexpected event to meet Mr. Da Vinci, a former cadre here, but now it seems that the help provided by this old man at a critical moment is not small at all.With ingenious cooperation, we even explained some abnormalities that appeared on Nana and Celica as an acceptable excuse of 'puberty'.

Who said that this respectable and lovely old man always likes to dig holes for others?Isn't it very reliable when it should be reliable~

According to what His Majesty said, the most difficult first-sighting hurdle has finally passed.

Looking at His Majesty the Pope who was having a pleasant conversation with Yuxia, Lu Xi subconsciously clenched his fists.

Next, as long as there are no problems on Yuxiya's side, the vote will be stable!

Chapter 582 Mission: Crusade against slimes!

"Okay, since everyone has no doubts, let's not just sit here."

Seeing that the doubts under the pope's crown had been resolved, Mr. Da Vinci secretly smiled at Lucy, clapped his hands and proposed:

"Anyway, our supreme majesty said 'you can play wherever you want', so let the old man make a suggestion—how about, Lu Xi, you go to the front desk of the guild to pick up a task."

Look everyone!Mr. Da Vinci is cooperating with me to change the subject!He really is from my side!I am no longer alone!

Sighing from the bottom of his heart that the old man was reliable, Lu Xi tilted his head in confusion:

"Mission? Aren't you going to take His Majesty and the old gentleman to visit Rhine City?"

"To be honest, with the age and experience that Berendo and I have reached, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's just that in our eyes."

Reaching out to support his unilateral lens, Mr. Da Vinci said slowly:

"Instead of traveling around the mountains and rivers without a purpose, let us see how your team performs tasks. This is not only your job as adventurers, but also shows the bond and tacit understanding between you—to us For these old men, there is nothing that makes us happier than seeing this."

Just like the elders who send their children to college, they have to go to the campus anyway, in many cases, the elders do not doubt whether the children can be independent, they just want to see that the grown-up children are in their own It's just the appearance of soaring freely in the world.

Understanding Da Vinci's state of mind, Lu Xi tentatively looked at the Pope who had been silent all this time:

"Your Majesty, is this okay?"

"Yes, what Da Vinci said is exactly what I thought."

Slightly nodded, Berendo pointed in the direction of Qianqian and Cocoa:

"Let the two of them temporarily join your team to carry out missions together. As for the two of us old guys, we are just watching from the side anyway, just pretend that we don't exist."

Mouth!The teachers who come to the classroom to attend the lectures always say, 'Just pretend I don't exist', but which student can really completely ignore the coercion of the lecturers?
