Civilization Guardian Front

"Don't worry, I'll catch you, keep your body relaxed..."

Tifa's gentle voice came to his ears.

"Slowly flatten your body, it doesn't matter if your neck is elevated, and try to slap your feet against the surface of the water."

"..."

The blond girl did as she said, swinging her slender legs alternately, splashing white water splashes.

Life is in the hands of her fellow family members in front of her, and she has no intention of disobeying him.

Under Tifa's careful guidance, Jian Ji's erratic movements at first quickly gained rhythm, and the excessive force that caused the random splashing of water converged to a reasonable scale.

"Well, well done..." Tifa first encouraged, and then instructed Aisi to go next:

"Now, try burying your face in water..."

"———————————————————…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………"

Whoa whoa whoa!

A large amount of foam formed by the gas bursting out of the mouth rushed to the surface of the water, Jian Ji waved her hands and feet helplessly, exerting her extraordinary strength with all her strength, and threw off the coach's hand all at once.

The flustered but helpless girl sank so miserably...

"Uh..."

Never thought that someone could sink at such an astonishing speed, Tifa couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

After half a second, she suddenly thought of saving people, and dived hastily.

Although she is a landlubber, Ais's basic abilities will not change due to the environment, and she struggles violently to disrupt her companion's actions from time to time.

In the end, Chios, who was still watching from the sidelines, joined the rescue, and the two joined forces to drag Jian Ji, who had been drowning for nearly half a minute, out of the water.

After the catastrophe, the blond girl who had almost lost consciousness trembled and hugged Tifa's waist tightly.

"Tifa..."

Raising her head and face, Aisi looked timid, like a frightened squirrel.

"You...won't kill me?"

"puff!"

Before the black-haired girl could reply, Chios couldn't help laughing out loud.

Judging from Tifa's series of performances before she went into the water, it seems that Aisi's worries are not unreasonable...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After three and 10 minutes of careful guidance, Tifa tried a variety of strategies, but still failed to let Aisi learn to swim.

Whenever the opponent buried his head in the water, his body sank rapidly.

And after several times of drowning, the scene of her mother waving to her was flashed by the marquee in her mind again and again, Jian Ji's shadow of swimming seemed to be getting worse.Seeing the blond girl with pale face, pale lips, trembling like a hamster after repeated electric shocks, Tifa couldn't bear to teach any more.

With nothing to do, the coaching duties were quickly transferred...

Just as the damage to the nearby labyrinth wall was about to be fully restored, after handing Sword Girl over to her partner, Tifa temporarily left the pool to add new injuries to the dungeon wall.

Right now, Ais and Chios are left on the right bank of the pool near the camp.

"Let's rest for 5 minutes..."

Not in a hurry to let Jian Ji enter the water, Chios said, leaning over and sitting down on the dry turf, and glanced at Aisi with a smile.

The anxious look of the girl when she looked at the water showed that she still had lingering fears from the tragic experience not long ago, and needed some time to digest the fear that remained in her limbs.

"Whether it's swimming or struggling in the water, it consumes a lot of energy."

Hearing the young man's joking words, Aisi's pale cheeks flushed slightly.

Can't refute...

If it was a competition such as sword fighting, she would definitely rush forward to fight hard, but in swimming, Ai Si can be said to have no confidence at all.

(Really annoying...)

Blonde teen feels bullied.

But she really needed this respite, so she could only sit beside the young man with a puffy face.

Rest is rest, she has decided that she will never talk to the other party during this time.

Jian Ji just made up her mind...

In the next second, Ai Si's eyes suddenly widened when the young man handed something with his left hand.

It was an oval-shaped serving of food in a small paper tape.

On the golden skin produced by breading and deep-frying, the crystal clear oil is extra crispy and delicious.The aroma of potato puree mixed with cream and the sweetness of red beans are combined, and the heat rises into the nasal cavity, stimulating the taste buds of fasting girls.

Of course, she couldn't have misunderstood this kind of food that she often replaced as a snack when she was on the surface.

"Potato Balls"

Olalie's well-known snacks.

Not only does it retain the freshly made warmth, but it is also the favorite taste of girls.

How is this possible?

It took Chios a whole day to come to the lower floor, why did he carry the fried potato balls that had been fried for less than 5 minutes...

Ai Si, who is very familiar with fried food, even if she ignores the smoke, it is not difficult to accurately predict the time when it is made by judging only by the crispy skin.

(what...)

She quickly thought of the youth's unique storage ability.

Even a tent that occupies a large area can disappear out of thin air in the blink of an eye, and taking into account the fresh salmon that I ate when I was entertained by the other party on the 18th floor last time, it seems reasonable to have a fresh-keeping function.

Anyway...

Staring at the appetizing fried potato balls, Jian Ji's firm will was shaken.

"not hungry..."

While the girl was hesitating, Chios, who hadn't gotten a response for nearly half a minute, raised his eyebrows.

"Then I'll eat it myself."

After speaking, he made a gesture to retract...

blow!

A sudden sharp wind whistled past the tip of the young man's nose.

In the blink of an eye, the red bean cream fried potato balls in Chios' hands disappeared.

Seeing this expected development, he calmly turned his face away and looked at the prisoner who was close at hand.

"..."

Ruuo's real gaze burned his side face, and Ai Si lowered her head in embarrassment.

Now that things have come to this, she can't continue to show her temper.

"thanks."

"Um."

Chios didn't pursue it.

While it was interesting to watch Ais's reactions, his intention was not to bully her.

Now holding potato balls in both hands, the blond girl gnaws like a small animal, and her mind is no longer focused on the nightmare of practicing swimming.The highly tense body unknowingly relaxed after going through the process of arguing with the youth and being tempted by delicious food.

that's good...

There was a softness in the youth's purple eyes.

! ! !

Sensing the change in the temperament of the man around her, Ai Si felt flustered for no reason, and almost crushed the potato balls with too much force.

Even though she couldn't fully understand the young man's intentions, she could somewhat guess it with her intuition, but...

Why, look at her with that look?

In addition to being grateful, there was also an unknown throbbing that trembled and reverberated in my heart suddenly.

(I am...)

what happened?

Worried about it, the food in the girl's mouth gradually lost its taste.

Ais was suddenly in a daze, and even Chios couldn't see why for a while, so he simply looked away.

(And thanks to Tifa after that...)

he thought.

Before the trip, he never thought that he would run into his partner and Jian Ji in the huge dungeon, so he naturally wouldn't be so bored as to buy fried potato balls as a spare.Now, including the six snacks in Aisi's hands, lying quietly in the crest space, all of them were secretly handed over to him by Tifa.

After considering this matter and the reason behind the other party's excuse to leave the scene, Chios couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

His debts are mounting.

...

The 5 minute break time passes quickly...

The special swimming training course resumed, and Jian Ji, who had regained her energy and spirit, walked into the lake together with the black-haired youth.

Even though she was very scared, out of her trust in Chios and Tifa, the girl who didn't think they would be bad for her never backed down and mustered up the courage to accept their guidance time and time again.

Leaving aside the results of the hard work, Aisi's silly and serious attitude alone makes people feel cute.

"We're not going to deep water this time..."

Chios held the slender and tender hands of the blond girl, facing her back slowly, until the water level reached his waist and just submerged Aisi's chest.

"If you can step on the bottom of the lake, don't you feel so nervous?"

"..."

For some reason, Aisi seemed to be out of focus.

"Ace, Ace..."

"I say, Miss Wallenstein?"

"Well?"

The young man called several times in a row, finally bringing Ais back to his senses.

Eyes refocused, she stepped on the solid ground with her little feet in a hurry to ensure that she was still on the safe line, and then responded with confidence:

"Hmm...it hurts!"

Snapped!

Jian Ji covered her red forehead, staring at the man in front of her who was violent to her with wide eyes in surprise.

"You are not small, you dare to be distracted when teacher and I are teaching..." Slowly withdrew his attacking right hand, Chios looked down at the blond girl, and said in a cold tone:

"Make the same mistake again, I'm going to ask you to stay after school for individual tutoring, classmate Ai Si."

"Individual...individual...coaching?"

The blond girl tilted her head, trying to figure out this compound word she had never heard before.

"That's right..."

Realizing that he had accidentally used idioms from when he was a teacher in the past, Chios rubbed his brows and explained in another way:

"Think about the scene when you were called to study alone by Ms. Riveria Rios Alf, and you should be able to understand, right?"

"Ugh..."

As if forced to recall some unbearable memories, Ai Si's shoulders trembled suddenly, and her expression became depressed overnight.

Like a deflated ball.
