Chapter 137 Visiting old friend, unbreakable fate
Mission Hall of the Dede Village Guild
Hawke, wearing sunglasses, was looking down at the documents.

Suddenly, the door of the guild was slowly pushed open.

Some glare from the sun shone into the house from the outside, so the bald man couldn't help stretching out his hand and covering his forehead.

"Who is it?" he said angrily.

In a rare and clean afternoon, who is so ignorant to disturb people's peace?
"Why, it's only been a few years, and you can't even recognize my anger?"

Along with the rubbing sound of soft leather boots touching the floor, a somewhat lazy female voice came from afar.

Putting down his hands in astonishment, Hawke half took off the sunglasses on his face, and stared blankly at the person coming.

It was an elegant woman with aqua blue curly hair and beauty moles hanging from the corners of her eyes.

At this time, she was casually shaking the luxurious fan, looking at herself quietly.

Some charming almond eyes, wrapped in curly hair curly inwards on both sides, appear extremely deep.

"Valentina?"

"How did you come?"

Looking at his partner who suddenly appeared in front of him after five years absence, Hawke was a little at a loss.

"Why, can't I come?" Valentina walked slowly, putting away the fan in her light white hands.

She glanced at the tattered leather chair with some distaste, and then at the cramped bald man. She hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down reluctantly.

"Hey, you still like blue so much..."

Glancing at the woman's attire, Hawke took out a glistening glass from behind the bar, turned around and took out a treasured wine from the wine cabinet, and poured it for her little by little.

He has not forgotten that his former companion is [-]% cleanliness.

At this time, Valentina was wearing a light blue sleeveless low-cut dress, her lower body was a blue-purple dress that almost reached the ground, and a light-colored and dark-colored striped scarf was wrapped around her waist.

Even people who don't know her well can tell how much she likes blue just from her appearance.

Taking a sip of the slightly cloudy liquor, Valentina glanced at the tattered Hawke, frowned and said, "At least he's a guild branch leader, so he shouldn't be dressed so poorly, right?"

"Dede Village is just a small town, and I'm just doing as the Romans do."

Shaking his head, not wanting to quarrel with this gorgeous companion, Hawk changed the subject and looked at the scarf around Valentina's waist.

"This scarf doesn't match you, so change it as soon as possible."

There was a rare silence. This woman, who had always been imposing since she appeared on the stage, lowered her head at this moment, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.

"This is the... first gift you gave me ten years ago."

An inaudible voice sounded slowly.

"I know..." Sighing, Hawke tried not to look at his former partner, "but it's no longer good enough for you."

He knew the purpose of Valentina's visit, and he missed the days of hunting with her in the past.

But he knew better that he, who was almost crippled, was far from keeping up with the opponent's pace.

The strength gap between the two is like a skyline.

Forcibly together, sooner or later they will kill each other.

After all, the person in front of him is the existence at the 15th rank of the Ancient Dragon Group Sequence.

【Mohai】-Valentina!

And I am just a waste that can't even beat ordinary flying dragons.

"To shut up!"

Valentina growled inexplicably, and drank all the wine in the glass.

A blush appeared on her face, and her arm with the golden bracelet slammed heavily on the bar. She stared closely at the man in front of her, "I know best what I want to wear."

The atmosphere became extremely stagnant for a while.

After a long time, Hawke was the first to speak.

Just like many years ago, after every quarrel, he is always the one who apologizes.

"Sorry, I made a mistake."

Hawk glanced at the woman who was still turning her head, but her pointed ears were quietly erected, and shook her head helplessly.

Not only did time fail to leave any traces on this dragon-human companion, but even the slightly twisted temper has not changed at all after so many years.

"As long as you know."

Coughing, Valentina, who had become "elegant" again, rolled her eyes at the other party, took the wine glass poured by the other party again, and was about to take another sip.

One hand directly grabbed the handle of the wine glass.

Some rough fingers touched her pale jade palm.

The two let go of their hands at the same time, and turned their heads a little unnaturally.

"Ahem~ Well, you don't drink well, so take it easy...the rest of the glass, drink it when you leave."

Hawk looked at the ceiling and said as if reading a book.

"Do you think I'm still the rookie who followed you back then? Idiot..."

Valentina cursed in a low voice, but her mood improved inexplicably.

Unconsciously, the original smile returned to his face.

"Then, you must have something important to come here, right?"

Trying to bring the conversation back on track, Hawke spoke hastily.

"Well, apart from coming to see you, there is indeed one thing."

Valentina glanced at Hawke's loose right arm, and her voice dropped an octave.

"The guy who made you into this kind of virtue back then has returned to this desert."

Hearing this, Hawk stood up excitedly.

As if in fear, but also as if full of anger, he suppressed his voice, and said hoarsely: "【火魔】? That guy is back here!?"

On a face with sunglasses, the expression began to distort.

"Calm down, five years have passed, that guy has gotten stronger."

As soon as Valentina grabbed Hawke's hand, the latter was shocked, but his mood slowly calmed down.

"Don't be like this... Men and women are different..." Hawke tried to push away the other's arm, but found that he couldn't push at all.

Although the opponent's palms were as white and tender as tofu, the reality was that my rough palms were the real tofu.

This guy's current strength is terrifying!
Hawke sighed in his heart.

"Yesterday, a hunter witnessed the fight between [Great Demon] and the rusty steel dragon [Kushao]. In the end, [Great Demon] was on the verge of death, and [Kushao]'s left wing ended up disabled."

"Are you kidding me, Rusty Steel Dragon [Kushao], that is a hunting level 75 existence!" Hawke looked at Valentina in surprise.

"I didn't lie to you, it's true..." Valentina sighed.

"I thought that after five years, I should be able to avenge you...I didn't expect this bastard to improve faster than humans."

In agitated mood, Valentina's palms were clenched suddenly, causing Hawke, who still had one hand in the other's palm, to cry out in pain.

"Pain~pain~pain!"

He felt as if he heard a click, and he didn't know if it was his illusion.

"Ah! Sorry sorry~"

Valentina quickly let go, scratching her head in embarrassment.

"Although I was wrong, you are too fragile now."

Hawk was a little depressed, and the old man blushed and turned his head to snatch the other party's wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Damn little girl, she looks down on the former team leader when she is strong... No matter what, I can be regarded as her half-master, and she doesn't respect her teacher at all!

The treasured wine is gone!

Hawke cursed sullenly in his heart.

At this time, he didn't notice that Valentina looked at the cheek of the wine glass, blushing inexplicably.

This is probably... an indirect kiss, right?
An unknown woman with blue hair thought a little shyly.
