Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

"You guy!"

Crystal blushed and punched Xiao hard several times.

"Can't you be a little more serious? It's so..."

Xiao didn't say anything, but the girl was very dissatisfied.

The guy in front of her always teases her shamelessly, stirring her heart which originally did not beat.

But now Xiao wants to leave again, talking to himself...

Crystal thought it would be better if she never met Xiao.

She would have lived a very miserable life if she had done that.

But that way she wouldn't have to have any expectations, nor would she have to be afraid that Xiao would leave one day.

"Cough cough!"

A girl's cough broke the brief silence between the two.

"Oh, you woke up so soon."

Seeing the two people lying on the ground opening their eyes and looking around in confusion, Xiao gave them a wicked smile.

"You, you are!"

"Don't be so nervous, it's not the first time we meet."

"W-What do you want to do?! Bastard! Beast!"

The brown-haired girl looked at Xiao in fear and kept cursing.

After all, if a female killer is captured alive, her fate is usually more tragic than death.

"Hey, are you treating your savior like this?"

Xiao tapped the brown-haired girl and pointed at her neck.

Although they were unable to move their bodies because they had just been resurrected, the two noticed that the thing on their necks had disappeared.

"You are free now, but I have a condition."

"Conditions?"

The black-haired girl asked weakly with a trembling voice.

"Help me protect two people for a while. These are the two people you should have seen."

Xiao placed the portraits of Ed and Martha in front of the two of them.

"W-Why did you choose us?"

The black-haired girl stood up with difficulty and looked at Xiao with some fear.

The shadow of being pierced through the abdomen by Xiao still lingers in her mind.

"You two are very capable. And I believe you are people who can be trusted."

"That sounds like a mockery. We clearly wanted to kill you before."

The brown-haired girl seemed very unhappy with Xiao.

"It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, just return to the Hobbs family."

Akatsuki added casually, not minding the brown-haired girl's hostility.

"Compared to the Hobbs family who don't even want to acknowledge you as human, this choice is quite tempting."

"But, but we also run the risk of becoming their enemy."

The black-haired girl said uneasily.

[You have a pretty good brain.]

"If there were no risks, would you still dare to accept my proposal?"

"Sister Carol, I think this man can be trusted."

The black-haired girl whispered in Carol's ear.

"Your name is Carol, right? What's yours?"

"Hey! My name is Kath."

"Xiao, although there is not much meaning in remembering this name."

Xiao reached out and pulled the two of them up from the ground.

"These are for your equipment and activity funds."

Xiao handed two simple rings to the two.

"Eh?!"

Seeing Kate's blushing face, Xiao believed that this silly girl must be thinking about something strange in her mind.

“You just need to protect the target until Ed becomes the mayor of Nosti City.

As for your future life, it's up to you to decide. If there's no other way out, you can ask this guy for help."

Xiao pointed at Crystal behind him.

"Although this guy is arrogant and cold-blooded."

"Hey!"

"But she's actually a very kind and gentle person. She will help you."

Akatsuki added as he caught Crystal's fist.

"What about you, Master?"

"Master? Just call me Xiao."

"But…"

Seeing Kate hesitate, Xiao smiled.

"I only saved you because you're pretty and cute, so you don't have to respect me so much."

"Asshole, you're such a beast. But..."

Carol bowed to Xiao.

"Thank you so much for saving me and Kath."

The two of them are both beautiful in appearance and very capable.

So since she was a child, she was personally selected by Kyle to be Paul's reserve concubine group.

To serve and protect Paul in the future when he becomes an adult.

For this reason, the two have not been treated too cruelly so far.

However, seeing the miserable fates of their predecessors who were concubines, Carol and Kate were still extremely afraid of the future.

Regardless of being treated as a pawn and abandoned in battle.

She still couldn't give birth to children, and was eventually treated like an object.

This is not what they wanted to encounter.

Even though Xiao had seriously injured the two before, they were still very grateful to Xiao for removing the cursed collar.

"Well, we're helping each other here. We've set up a barrier around here, so you'll be perfectly safe here. Once you've recovered, head to Nosti. We'll be leaving first."

"Okay, okay."

Kate also bowed to Xiao and watched him and Crystal leave.

"Why did you suddenly arrange for someone to protect Sister Martha and Brother Ed?"

Crystal asked in confusion.

It was clear that in her impression, Xiao had never cared about the two of them.

"Because it wasn't necessary before. After Kyle suffered such a big loss this time, I don't know what drastic measures he will take."

"Then why don't you just protect them both?"

Crystal complained a little dissatisfiedly, she was also a young girl.

Crystal could clearly feel that there was something wrong with the way Kate looked at Xiao.

Even if it wasn't love at first sight, the girl named Kate must have had that kind of feelings for Xiao.

After meeting for no more than fifteen minutes, Xiao had already captured the heart of a strange girl.

This made Crystal extremely unhappy.

Chapter 28 The Right Way to Find a Hidden Area

"That's certainly not a problem, but we can't move freely here."

"Action? What are you going to do?"

"I hate being passive. If I'm having fun, I'll definitely choose to be on top."

"That's the only dirty metaphor you can come up with."

Crystal gave Xiao a look of disgust.

"Oh, you actually understood. My training during this period is worth it."

Xiao smiled with satisfaction.

"Get out!"

Crystal's cheeks flushed red, and she punched Xiao hard.

"You seem to trust them quite a bit, even though you've only just met them."

The girl puffed up her cheeks in displeasure.

"Trust? I just trust the tools given to them."

"Those two girls will be sad if they hear what you said."

"That's pretty good too."

"That's weird, I thought you were going to keep them around. Like Lucy and Rose."

Crystal said sarcastically.

"It's a different situation. Those two girls might still find a place to stay on their own, but Lucy and Rose are different."

Xiao's expression darkened.

While Lucy and Rose's bloodline brings them noble status, it also serves as a shackle for both of them.

Even in the future, it would be difficult for the two of them to find a place to stay in the elf or human world.

"You sound like if they find each other, you'll send them off in tears like an old father."

Crystal noticed the golden ahoge that popped up on the side and joked with Xiao.

"That wouldn't be bad, but..."

"Just what?"

“It just feels like it would be lonely.”

Xiao gave a very lonely and bitter smile.

"That's what this guy said. You really are a perverted lolicon."

Lucy and Rose came out from behind a huge rock nearby.

"Since you're so lonely, it's not impossible for Rose and I to stay with you for a while."

"Well, if Brother Xiao wants, my sister and I will always stay by your side."

The two sisters came to Xiao shyly.

"Pfft! Thank you."
