Talk about a pure love in the illustrated book world

The monster itself should not feel too uncomfortable due to the external environment, and the clothes on his body are basically just a psychological effect.

But for some reason, she just felt that the clothes on her body were warm, as if she really recovered because she was wrapped in them.

and......

Stepping lightly, Euphemia caught up with Neil who was walking in front little by little, and walked side by side with him.

Neil glanced at her, his face became strange.

"why are you laughing?"

"Huh? Did I smile?"

Euphemia touched her face suspiciously, and found that there was a slight upward curve at the corner of her mouth.

"You don't think it's fun to prostitute me for nothing, do you?"

Neil rolled his eyes and complained.

"Eating my rice makes you so happy, you're going crazy with joy."

"Is it that serious..."

Euphemia couldn't help muttering.

In the past few months, she also teamed up with many adventurers to do missions.

But I don't know if it's because of the pressure of life, or because of personality differences. It's always been like a gear, and it can be said that it is a boring life of three points and one line.

But now, she felt very light. She was obviously just on the way, but it was like traveling. While looking at the surrounding scenery, she chatted with Neil next to her without saying a word.

Although this guy often said a bunch of words that he couldn't understand at all, and his mouth was very short, and he always looked disgusted at himself, but it was still very interesting, and it didn't make her feel bored at all.

Ah, thinking about it now, it seems that since she was on the boat, she was habitually standing with him because she felt bored.

Although the snow melted, the bare branches on both sides of the road were exposed, which seemed a little disappointing.

But in Euphemia's eyes, she felt that there was something special about it.

It seems that it is not bad to stay like this for a long time...

Volume 75 Journey to Polovy: Chapter 74 Chapter [-] A Wordless Invitation

Since the town itself is not too far from Borovie, it only took less than a day. When the sky gradually turned dark blue, Neil and the two also entered Borovie.

Since there were not too many monsters in winter, the return journey was quite smooth without any major problems.

However, looking at Euphemia, who was humming a little tune with her hands behind her back, looking very leisurely and happy, Neil's expression became somewhat strange.

He straightened his face slightly, and said to Euphemia.

"Okay, Bo Luowei has arrived, you can walk the rest of the way by yourself."

After finishing speaking, he immediately started to take steps, intending to slip away directly with oil on the soles of his feet.

But a hand grabbed the hem of his clothes, strangling his escape in the cradle.

"Uh...Miss Euphemia...can you let me go?"

When going to the ruins, you must change into light clothes, and it must be clothes that will never be caught by the corners.

While Neil was thinking in his heart, he turned his head silently, looking at Euphemia who was holding on to him with a smile.

"Anyway, you're fine, just take me for a walk and take me to the Lord's Mansion."

She said with a smile, as if she had no intention of letting go at all.

"I say......"

The corner of Neil's mouth twitched, and after hesitating for a while, he asked slowly.

"You shouldn't have already..."

"Hmm...who knows? Maybe."

Euphemia took the initiative to let go of him, and after thinking for a while, she replied ambiguously.

Seeing Neil's obvious dissatisfaction with his ambiguous answer, she was like a child who succeeded in pranking, smiling, tiptoeing, and running in front of him.

The snow-white outfit made her look like a snow elf in winter, making people want to stop and watch.

With her footsteps stagnating, the fluffy short blonde hair also stopped from shaking, and fell silent in her ear.

"Do you want to follow?"

Euphemia turned around, facing Neil across the empty street, and gently raised her palm towards him.

It's still like this...

Looking at the expectant expression on the pretty face that looked crystal clear in the cold wind under the velvet hat, Neil silently sighed in his heart.

Is it because of the cold, or because of shyness, that the cheeks become so red?

Subconsciously, he wanted to take a step and hold that hand.

After all, he himself has a crush on Euphemia, and she even made it clear now.

Standing in front of him, he stretched out his hand like that, waiting for his response.

But he still forcibly curbed his desire to move forward.

The erosion of magic power and the joy of magic made him dare not take this step at all.

At least he didn't intend to take this step until the hope of solving these problems was completely shattered.

Seeing the hesitation in Neil's eyes looking at her, and his legs that didn't move, Euphemia slowly lowered her hand.

"Is it......."

She muttered, her expression became calm again.

"Accompany me to the Lord's Pavilion."

That statement-like tone proved that this sentence was just an ordinary invitation.

This time, Neil had no reason to refuse.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

"How about the body modification?"

The two walked side by side on the street leading to the local lord's mansion, and Neil asked softly.

"It should be fine. Although the smell of the essence seems to have improved, it is still within the acceptable range."

Euphemia shook her head lightly, answering Neil's question.

"......Feel sorry."

After being silent for a while, Neil spoke slowly.

"There's nothing to apologize for. Rather, I'm just expressing my thoughts on my own."

Euphemia shook her head again, and lightly clenched her hands hidden in her coat pockets.

"After all, your attitude has been obvious since the first time we met, so I'm more or less mentally prepared."

"When you say that, I feel even more sorry..."

Neil sighed, it was the first time in his life that he was confessed by a girl, and this was the first time he refused, which made him somewhat uneasy.

"What are you going to do next? Have you been studying magic in Borovie?"

Seemingly knowing that talking further would make the two of them more awkward, Euphemia also changed the subject.

"No, I plan to go to Metheda Canyon next summer."

"Are you planning to go to Metheda Canyon?"

Euphemia couldn't help being surprised, and turned to look at him.

"It's better to say that this is my original purpose, and Borowy can only be regarded as a transit point."

Neil nodded helplessly, it seemed that he really didn't tell Euphemia his real purpose.

After all, it was too late for him to hide from Euphemia before, so of course there was no need to tell her his purpose.

"I plan to go to the ruins."

"Ruins? What's there?"

Neil sighed slowly after hearing Euphemia's question.

"Honestly, I don't know either."

"It may be an ancient weapon, it may have nothing, or... it may be a solution to the current erosion of magic power."

"That's why you always have an attitude of not hating monsters, but resisting them?"

Euphemia couldn't help frowning.

"But most of the ruins will be occupied by monsters, and what if there is really nothing there?"

"Who knows... Maybe it's my own wishful thinking, and maybe there's a solution out there."

"If you really don't find anything, then let's open it honestly."

"Open.......Swing?"

Seeing the stupefied expression on Euphemia's face, Neil scratched his head and explained.

"It means honestly giving up, just find a monster wife to marry, and then don't care what happens in the world."

"That's why you've been hesitant to accept my confession?"

Euphemia frowned, and her tone couldn't help becoming unfriendly.

"It's part of it. After all, if I can really find that possibility, can't I just put it at ease?"

Neil turned his head slightly in embarrassment, not daring to look at her resentful gaze.

"So as long as you finish going to the ruins, whether there is a result or not, you plan to fully accept the monster."

"Uh... To be honest, it shouldn't be the end..."

"Just say you will accept it?"

Euphemia interrupted Neil impatiently, and asked him with an unquestionable tone.

"......right."

Anyway, when you come out of the ruins, you have already found a solution to the erosion of magic power, so you don't have to be afraid of the problem of forced monsterization, and you can accept monsters in their entirety.

Either nothing has changed as it is now, anyway, it will be eroded by magic in the end, so it's better to enjoy it early.

"call......"

Euphemia took a deep breath, and said viciously.

"Take me to see your teacher, that fox fairy."

"Now, now, now!"

Volume 76: Journey to Polovy: Chapter 75 Chapter [-] The Quarrel Between the Two

"Pfft hahahahahahahahaha—"

With a dark face, Neil looked at sitting in front of him and Euphemia, leaning back and forth with a smile, and even kept patting Sid and Yinglizi on the table.

"I said... have you two laughed enough..."

"Ha... ha... sorry sorry."

Ying Lizi tried her best to calm down, and waved her hands holding back a smile.

"I just didn't expect that, Neil, you have resisted monsters so much for several months, but you brought a little girlfriend back as soon as you came back on the festival day. When you think about it, it's a bit..."

"I would like to remind you that we are not yet a relationship between partners, so pay attention to the wording."

Neil raised his hand and deliberately emphasized his tone.

Euphemia, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him after hearing this, but said nothing.

It's just that his words didn't seem to be of much use to Sid and Yinglizi, but instead they winked at him.
