It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 621 The Sandman and the Adventurer Girl
"So... you mean you were supposed to be near the volcano, but somehow you opened your eyes and found yourself in a town?"

Qiluli pressed her forehead with mixed feelings. Thinking about what had happened before, she was now starting to find this kind of thing unsurprising.

From their conversation, she also learned that the other person's name was Mei Qiuli.

"right……"

The two couldn't possibly talk about these things on the street; Cirulli was now leading her to the entrance of an abandoned basement.

He just looked at someone who seemed even more naive and ignorant than himself.

Kiruri found it incredibly difficult to associate her with that kind of race that was so lewd towards men. She had been thinking this when she saw the portrait: generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of person be... very...

She didn't know how to describe it, since she had no experience. She was probably the type who was very easy to get along with men.
And this one in front of me... uh.

Cirul sighed silently. This request was not what she had expected. She should report it to the guild and send her out of the city at the same time. If it was the nearest volcano, then it was the Rift Mountains, which was three days' journey away. No wonder she had searched the outskirts of White Harbor Town and still couldn't find it.

Thinking of this, she stood up, closed her eyes briefly due to the pain in her shoulder, but still reached out her hand to the other person.

"I'll take you out. Can you come with me?"

"well."

Meicholi tentatively reached out her hand to her, and Qiluli took off her cloak and draped it over her, covering her demonic features. She carefully looked her over at the alley entrance before leading her out.

Well, given the heavy rain and what happened last night, there aren't many people on the streets right now.

Just as she was about to lead the other person toward the Adventurers' Guild, Mei Qiuli suddenly grabbed her from behind.

"I...I don't know why, but I want to go there..."

Mei Qiuli pointed in a direction in a daze and tugged at her sleeve.

Kiruri's pupils trembled as she looked over.

That place held only unpleasant memories for her. Not only was it in the opposite direction from the guild, but it also had the Fifth Princess's knights on guard. She deliberately avoided that place all day.

"Are you... sure you want to go?" Cirri hesitated. "If the knights discover your identity, they might kill you on the spot."

"Slay, kill?!" Mei Qiuli hurriedly covered her neck and shook her head desperately.

"..."

Seeing the other person's reaction, Cirrus lowered her head, wondering why she had listened to a sleep demon who didn't even know where she was.

She wasn't always so indecisive.

Arrive at the Adventurers' Guild.

After explaining the situation, Miss Mary quickly understood and looked at her with an understanding look: "The Rift Mountains are not an area recommended for E-rank adventurers, but there are relatively safe routes to get there. If you can promise me to strictly follow the guild's map and not to be reckless when encountering danger, I will agree to let you carry out this escort."

"Really...really?" Kiruri's eyes lit up, thinking Marie wouldn't agree. "That's great!"

Miss Mary nodded slowly, understanding that she wanted to overcome her past self, and she would never stop such a desire to grow.

She then took out a protective pendant, two teleportation crystals, and several bottles of healing potions from under the counter and handed them to Qiluli.

"Huh? But I only just took on this job."

"This is included in the reward. This mission is rather special, so male adventurers cannot accompany you. Please be careful along the way."

Then she looked at Kiruri with a serious expression:

"I'll ask you one last time, are you sure you want to seriously accept the 'Escort the Sandman' commission, Cirrus?"

Kiruri glanced at Meichori beside her, then nodded emphatically.

"Yes!"

The two left the Adventurers' Guild at dusk. Due to the somewhat special circumstances, they did not let the Sandman stay overnight at the rest area provided by the guild, but instead stayed with the relatively familiar Cirrus.

Cirri also went to the church to have the two magical ornaments appraised, and found that they were two completely useless junk items.

The long, dark blonde priestess sitting across the table: "Ahaha... There are times like this too."

When she came out, she saw a white-haired oriental girl with an arrogant walking posture. Just as she was about to take another look, she found that the girl had suddenly disappeared.

Back at the hotel, Mei Qiuli, who was sitting awkwardly at the table, shared the snacks she had brought back. After tidying up and washing up, the two quickly fell asleep.

The next day.

Full of fighting spirit, Qiluli made all the preparations for the trip, tightened the belt around her waist, and left the city gate from the north with Meiqiuli in the heavy rain.

That night, Kiruri, who had experience camping in the wild, found a cave on higher ground and tried to start a campfire several times with the flint in her pocket.

"call……"

Seeing the flames leap out, Kiruri breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back, while Meichori looked at her with an incredulous expression from the opposite side.

After a full day's journey, the two strictly followed the path provided by the guild. Fortunately, the landmarks along the way were easy to find, and they did not provoke any monsters.

"The roads are really hard to walk on in the heavy rain."

Qilu complained, took off her boots, poured out the water, and squeezed them out. In contrast, Meiqiu, who looked nervous and scared, was able to keep up with her all the way, which was a bit surprising.

She... really is a demon?

Sometimes even Ciruli wasn't sure if Mechori knew she was a Sand Demon. Without looking at her tail and wings, it was indeed difficult to associate her with a race like a succubus.

"Do you... want some?"

She handed over the dried meat from her pocket, and Mei Qiuli politely said "thank you" after taking it.

She already knew yesterday that she ate human food, but since it was human food after all, Ciruli was still a little uncertain looking at the tail peeking out from under the other's cloak. "Um..." she glanced at the heavy rain outside the cave and said hesitantly, "If you're planning to go hunting, no... don't worry about me."

Since it's a sleep demon.

Ken, she must need that kind of thing from a man... Miss Mary explained it to her very well.

"Hunting?" Mei Qiuli tilted her head and looked at her.

"You mean... that kind of thing with boys..." Cirri blushed slightly. "No, isn't it said that if you don't eat in time, your magic power will never be replenished?"

"That kind of thing?"

"I mean... uh... that..."

Kiruri quickly stopped talking.

Why am I the one explaining this to a succubus?!
"Do you mean food? Someone will deliver it to me regularly, so I'm never hungry."

"Really? Is it tastier than dried meat?"

Thinking it was within the bounds of normal discussion, Kiruri subconsciously asked a question.

"Mmm...!" Mei Qiuli answered quickly and laughed, "It's delicious! It has smooth jelly, very sweet cream, and round, juicy jerky!"

Kiruri's face froze instantly, and she suddenly found it difficult to swallow the jerky in her hand.

She was probably referring to human food...

Her eating normal food actually made Kiruri a little worried...

The two sat by the campfire, warming themselves. Meiqiuli neither went out hunting nor had any intention of attacking her to eat her flesh or drink her blood. This made Qiluli gradually have a new opinion of the girl in front of her and gradually begin to believe that she was really an innocent and ignorant girl.

the next day.

After packing her things, Ciruri kicked out the fire, and then she and Meichori resumed their journey.

On this day, they encountered a monster that would attack them on its own initiative.

As they ventured further from the town, the conditions on the road became completely different from those in the ordinary countryside. There were no other adventurers to ask for help. Cirulli drew her short sword and fought the monsters, cautiously dealing with them while keeping an eye on Meicholi's direction. Although the Sandman didn't seem to know how to fight, it was able to skillfully dodge the monsters and distract them, so Cirulli didn't need to worry about it at all.

This gradually built up Kiruri's confidence.

This is the real me. It's been so long since I've been able to wield my sword so firmly and fight monsters like this.

As one monster after another was defeated, the two also amassed a considerable amount of loot. Among them was a monster that was wearing a small arm guard with impressive magical power, which was knocked down by Cirrus.

"Ah ha ha……"

The fruitful experience made Cirri extremely happy. She smiled broadly while camping in the cave and chatted with Meichori about her becoming an adventurer.

Day three.

The continuous heavy rains eventually had an effect. The two encountered an armored forest boar that they could never defeat. They were exhausted and barely managed to escape its pursuit. After searching for a place to stay without success, they had no choice but to spend the night in a spacious, wet tree hole.

“What a…fierce wild boar,” Mei Qiuli recalled, still caught up in the scene.

"This is what adventurers are like..."

Qiluli was too exhausted to speak, but she still used her dagger to cut open the dry branches she had collected and used the dry parts to build a fire.

Today's events delayed them considerably from their original plan, but at least they didn't deviate from the path the guild had given them.

Some say that accidents are an integral part of an adventurer's life!

"I'm forcing myself to stay alert," said Kiruri.

"Oh! So awesome!"

Mei Qiuli's eyes lit up as she cheered.

But even so, who wouldn't want to lie on a soft, comfortable bed, clean and cozy? Qi Luli sighed. Now she could only dream about it. At times like this, she especially missed her hotel bed. But she wasn't lying. It was precisely because of the difficult experiences during these adventures that enjoying the bed felt so different from usual.

Yes.

She's on the right track now, and there's nothing left to hesitate about.

Fourth day.

The two finally saw the peaks of the Rift Mountains.

Because they had been chased for a long time in the forest the day before, they did not realize that they had already reached the foot of the mountain. Now they just needed to cross the valley and climb the volcano at the end.

“Let’s speed things up!” Kiruri grabbed Meichori’s hand.

However, the journey was not as easy as the two had imagined.

It looked close yet seemed like it would never end. Adding to the difficulty, the mountain path was slippery. After four days of trekking, Qilu was panting heavily. But since I had been taking care of her the whole way, how could I let her see my fatigue?

"careful!"

A swarm of mud and rocks slid down the mountain, and Qiluli quickly grabbed Meiqiuli and hid at the foot of the mountain.

After the crisis passed, Cirri, who had finally stopped, sat down on the ground, exhausted. Suddenly, something occurred to her—

Once I send Mei Qiuli to the volcano, will we never see each other again?
Qi Luli, panting, pursed her lips slightly.

I have been in Baigang Town for more than half a year.

Miss Mary and the other adventurers all treated her as a junior, and she didn't yet have a friend she could truly rely on...
