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

With Akatsuki's help, they quickly gathered around a carriage and formed a fan-shaped defense line.

"Oh, that was pretty quick."

Although there are a large number of magical beasts on the ground, Xiao believes that these well-trained soldiers can deal with them.

"I'll just deal with those troublesome guys in the sky."

Xiao said as he threw the spear out, directly piercing through the two vultures.

Using space magic, Xiao teleported to the side of the spear.

As he fell, he grabbed the neck of an attacking skull bird and flipped onto its back.

Although Xiao felt a little strange that these different kinds of monsters were acting in coordination, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

He killed the skull bird and stepped on its corpse to leap towards another target.

After a while, Xiao eliminated all the monsters in the air.

When he fell down, the soldiers also dealt with the monsters on the ground.

"Thank you for your help."

The knight who commanded these soldiers took off his helmet and thanked Xiao very solemnly.

【Unexpectedly, he seems to be a nice person. 】

Xiao's inner evaluation of this knight improved significantly.

Generally speaking, low-ranking noble knights who are loyal to their lords are either very cold or extremely bad towards civilians.

Among them, people like Xiang Xiao who carry adventurer tags are especially discriminated against by these people.

"It doesn't matter. If you don't mind, you can use them."

Akatsuki pulled out a leather bag containing a magic potion and handed it to the knight.

"Thank you very much, but is this okay?"

The knight saw that Xiao was dressed in ordinary civilian clothes and thought that these magic potions were worth a lot of money to him.

"I'll trouble you to help me apply for compensation when the time comes."

"I see."

The knight immediately left and distributed these magic potions to the seriously injured people.

"Krum, is everything alright now?"

A blonde girl poked her head out of the carriage that the soldiers had been guarding and asked the knight.

The girl is very cute, with a delicate and fair face adorned with a pink cherry mouth and charming emerald eyes.

Xiao was stunned for a moment as he looked at the beautiful girl.

"Master Lucas, please wait a moment in the carriage."

[Hmm? Master?]

Chapter 47: The strength of the squinting-eyed hero is unknown, but his abnormality is confirmed

"Ah, this gentleman is the one who helped us just now."

Lucas seemed a little excited when he saw Xiao not far away.

He? He jumped off the carriage excitedly and walked quickly towards Xiao.

Xiao looked at the boy in front of him and felt very strange.

He couldn't quite understand why Lucas could wear such a cute and exquisite dress so naturally.

Xiao repeatedly used the identification method in a rude way, and the result was that the boy named Lucas in front of him was indeed a boy.

"Um, is there any problem?"

Lucas took Xiao's hand and looked up at him in great confusion.

The perfect angle of his head and the slightly melancholic look made Lucas look very cute.

「It’s a good thing I’m used to getting along with Lucy and Rose, otherwise…」

"Nothing, oh, my companions are coming."

Looking at the carriage slowly approaching from a distance, Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"If I stay with this guy for too long, I feel like my mental state will be seriously affected."

"Ugh! What are you doing, Akatsuki?!"

Lucy saw Lucas holding Xiao's hand and jumped out of the carriage in panic.

"Well, listen to my explanation first."

"What's there to explain, you guy?"

Lucy came to Xiao angrily, scaring Lucas.

"Lucy, calm down first."

"Hey, Sister Crystal?!"

Lucas was a little excited when he saw Crystal getting off the carriage.

"Long time no see, Lucas."

Seeing Lucas let go of his hand and was about to run towards Crystal, Xiao subconsciously grabbed his collar.

"Eh?"

"Calm down a bit. And you too, Lucy."

Xiao flicked Lucy's forehead.

"Woo! You're so intimate with a strange girl in just a short while!"

Crystal said behind Lucy with a helpless smile.

"Lucy, Lucas is a boy."

"Eh? No, that's not the case."

"Well, I am indeed a man."

Being stared at by Lucy, Lucas grabbed the hem of his skirt and answered very embarrassedly.

"So it's not what you think. You don't have to be jealous."

Xiao pinched Lucy's face to bring her back from her shock.

"I, I'm not jealous of you!"

"Lucas, it's been a while. You're still the same."

"Sister Crystal, it's been a long time. You're still as beautiful as ever."

Although she knew that Lucas's words were just a polite remark without any ill intention, Crystal Momin was a little unhappy.

The last time she saw Lucas was over two years ago.

Same as before doesn't mean...

Crystal looked down at her thin breasts and felt a little sad.

After traveling with Xiao and the others, she began to develop more and more.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Lucas looked a little flustered when he saw that Crystal suddenly stopped talking.

"without…"

Crystal looked at Lucas's pitiful appearance and was about to explain when a soldier's shout interrupted her.

"alert!"

In the distant sky, several very blurry shadows were approaching the convoy.

The soldiers immediately reorganized their formation and prepared to resist new attacks.

"Master Lucas, please..."

"Th-Those look like the heroes!"

Lucas, who had excellent eyesight, saw the leading dragon clearly and exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing this, the soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief.

When the flying dragon and several griffins behind it landed, a black-haired, squinty-eyed boy flipped down from the dragon.

Lucas let go of Xiao's hand and ran to the boy excitedly.

"Mr. Lucas, we heard you were attacked by a monster and came to rescue you, but now it seems the matter has been resolved."

The boy looked around and set his sights on Akatsuki and his group.

When his eyes fell on Crystal, he looked very surprised and happy.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Miss Crystal."

The boy came to Crystal and tried to hold her hand.

"Long time no see, brave man, Mr. Nakamura."

Crystal ignored Nakamura's awkward hand hanging in the air and responded very coldly.

"Ms. Crystal, didn't I tell you to just call me Xiaohao?"

Although he was still smiling, Nakamura seemed a little unhappy.

"I'm terribly sorry, but I don't think I'm qualified to address Mr. Nakamura so affectionately."

When Crystal was at the Empire's Supreme Magic Academy, she had frequent contact with these time travelers.

She also knew very well the implications of calling Nakamura Takahiro.

Just imagining getting close to this guy in front of her made Crystal feel physically nauseous.

"Speaking of which, Miss Crystal, why were you at Warhol? When I heard that someone was threatening your engagement, I was very worried."

"Thank you for your concern. I have now resigned from my position as mayor of Nosti City and am traveling with my companions."

"Oh…"

Nakamura's gaze fell on the three people around Crystal again.

Xiao was also a normal adolescent male. Even without the ability to read minds, he knew what the hell was going on in the guy's mind when he saw Lucy and Rose.

"Since you no longer need to worry about family affairs, then as for becoming our companion..."

"I'm still very sorry about that matter. I don't think I have the ability to cooperate with you."

After being rejected so bluntly by Crystal, Nakamura's smile became stiff and his eyebrows twitched.

"But we..."

"Hello, you must be the fifth-ranked hero in the imperial capital's legend."

"What are you doing all of a sudden? This guy is dangerous and troublesome!"

Crystal tried to signal Xiao with her eyes.

【Don't worry, just leave it to me. 】

【Hello! 】

Crystal felt a headache when she saw Xiao's playful smile.

"Who are you, sir?"

Nakamura noticed the eye contact between the two and looked at Akatsuki angrily.

"My name is Xiao, and I'm Crystal's...lover, I guess."

Xiao ignored Nakamura's anger and continued to provoke him madly to the point where he could not bear it.

"Lover, huh? But it seems you have other close women."
