I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

I looked at Lingcan in surprise.

“It was given to me by a very important person.”

That's it...

I waved my hand and dispersed the four fireballs flying towards me.

"I'm lending it to you now because you're also very important to me."

"...Oh..."

I reached out and touched her head.

"Wait a moment, I'll take you to eat right away. Don't be too polite then, or I'll get angry."

"Of course, I won't be polite."

After saying this, she showed a very cute smile.

"Do you even take us seriously?" "Don't be so arrogant! Don't think that's all we can do..."

"you...."

This group of scum seemed to have realized that I was different from usual, so they swallowed their words immediately.

"Okay... now let's talk about whether to beat you up or kill you."

I rushed towards them with my fists clenched and cracking.

Well, I definitely won't kill them...it's just that it sounds cooler.

Okay, let’s finish this quickly for Ling Shen’s sake.

.................

Even in another world, I will continue to practice the habit of giving up easily (Part 3)

[Bonus] Even in another world, I will continue to practice the habit of giving up easily (Part 3)

[Because a senior who doesn't want to reveal his identity told me that the main story was too watery, and if I wanted to be watery, it would be better to write a sequel, so I decided to write a sequel. I also think that it would be better to think about the main story in detail, so... If you are unhappy, go ahead and hit him. I can provide the address. Yes, the same goes for sending razor blades.]

...........................................

"lira..."

Lingcan seemed to be unable to sleep and shouted to a white-haired male guard who was standing next to her to commit suicide.

The sky is shining with stars, and beneath these stars is Lingcan's hometown, but they can no longer stay here.

Because of a coup, the original Troana royal family was overthrown. Faced with the guards who defected one after another, only Lira chose to continue to protect Ayasan, the last member of the Troana royal family.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

His tone was as gentle as ever.

"Hmm..." Ling Can nodded slightly.

"It's okay. Even if friends are unreliable, I'm still worthy of your trust because we have a contract."

Lila smiled and touched her head, looking into the distance, where he had lived for many years in the royal capital.

"But why did Father insist on asking you to protect me alone? You are capable of protecting more of us, right?"

"........"

After hearing this, Lila didn't know how to respond, because he didn't understand why.

"Huh..." He sighed, "Anyway... no matter what, he loves you. Maybe he cares about your safety more than himself, so he thinks protecting you is much more reliable than protecting more people..."

Ling Shen was silent and closed her eyes before tears came out.

"That guy...really...underestimated me."

I can handle any number of people...

Lila couldn't help but recall the scene when he ordered her to terminate the contract.

"You must protect her... Now that the contract has been terminated, you are free... But after all, you have been under my orders for so long. Even if you kill me now... it's fine. I won't be able to survive anyway. Just protect her..."

The king in front of him was obviously afraid of him, but still made his request... Why... Humans are really strange.

Is it just because I was once called a devil...

.....................

"Hmm... This is a bit troublesome..."

It was already early morning when Lila woke up from a short dream.

Looking at Ling Shen who was still sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't bear to disturb her. After racking his brains for a while, he decided to carry her on his back.

As long as you leave the country, you will be relatively safe.

"I hope I don't get caught up..."

He muttered to himself as he put on his silver helmet and carried the sleeping Ling Shen on his back.

Surprisingly light...

He only discovered this when he carried Ling Shen on his back.

Come to think of it, I watched her grow up.

............................

Because he was defeated by the king in a very despicable way and signed a contract, Lira once resented the king very much. However, after he arrived in the human environment, he was not enslaved or abused. He was only responsible for protecting the king's safety. Because of the contract, he had no choice but to do so.

Later, the young king grew old day by day, and had three wives and four concubines, but only one girl among his offspring, so this guy named Zhu Lingcan was loved very much.

The order to be responsible for the king's safety was changed to one that also took into account Ling Can's safety.

Taking care of children is much more complicated than being responsible for the safety of adults, because children are always curious and have all kinds of strange questions.

"How many stars are there in the sky?"

Before going to bed, Lingcan always pulls Lila to ask some questions that she doesn't want to tell the teacher.

"....many."

However, Lila felt annoyed.

"How much is a lot?"

".....like the scales on a dragon..."

Actually, there aren't that many scales on a dragon's body...compared to the stars.

"So, who's more powerful, the dragon or you, Lila?"

"Of course it's me. Compared to humanoid demons like me, they are just inferior monsters. How could they possibly defeat me..." He suddenly remembered the contract.

"If there were no deed restrictions..."

Even though many years have passed, I still feel angry when I think about it, but I don't want to kill Wang as much as I did at the beginning.

"What is a contract?"

"Nothing...Just go to sleep..."

He said to Ling Can impatiently.

"I can't sleep without my mom and dad... No, I should call them father and mother..." Ling Can corrected her mistake.

"Your father is busy handling government affairs, so of course your mother has to accompany you... I'm here for your safety... So go to sleep quickly, I'm very sleepy now."

In fact, he was lying, because the demons did not care about sleeping time, he was just saying one thing and thinking another.

"Okay then..." Ling Can had no choice but to close his eyes after hearing this.

But suddenly he opened his eyes again.

"What are you doing..." Lila asked angrily.

"Can you hug me? I think I'll sleep more soundly this way."

"........" Lila was stunned, because no one had made such a request before, and no one was even willing to approach him.

"No, go to sleep."

Leela said as she walked out of the room.

.........................

Come to think of it, since then, she has never asked me to hold her again... I wish I had agreed at that time.

As Lila was thinking this, she suddenly felt something strange.

"........."

He held his breath and listened carefully to the sounds in the distance.

"An army? It looks like they're about to catch up...the number of people..."

He was suddenly stunned, but immediately came to his senses because he had made up his mind.

......................

"Wake up, Ling Shen, wake up quickly."

Lingcan felt herself being shaken, then opened her eyes and saw the bright sky... Was it already noon?

"Sorry... I slept a little too long..." She said, looking at the unfamiliar scenery around her, "Huh? I remember there was a tree here, and this is a desert... Huh? Strange..."

Looking at Lingcan with a confused look on his face, Lila, who should have laughed, showed a kind smile instead.

"...Lira, what's wrong with you..."

Ling Shen seemed to sense something strange.

"Do you remember what questions you asked me when you were little?"

Lila asked this question suddenly without thinking.

"Eh? This... is too much, right? Why don't you leave quickly? It's dangerous to stay here..."

"It's okay..." Lila shook her head. "I can't remember all that much, but the one I remember most clearly is you asking how many stars there are in the sky."

"Oh... I think I've asked that before, but it's a hard question to answer... I guess I was really young back then, asking such a childish question..."

"Haha." Lila touched her head. "Actually, the question is not childish. Many people want to figure it out."

At this moment, unusual sounds were heard around.

"What's wrong? Why is there..."

Ling Can seemed very flustered.

"This is the sound of the pursuers' mounts. They are probably not far from us..." Lila seemed very calm.

"Are there a lot of people?" Ling Can asked fearfully.

"Yeah, a lot..."

"Let's run." Lingcan looked at Lila and found that his face was very serious.

"No, we can't outrun them. Someone has to hold them back."

"............." Ling Can was silent for a while before asking: "Who will come? Who...who will hold them back..."

Even though she already knew the answer.

"One of you and one of me. I have to protect you, so who will hold them back?"

"But you have to protect me, why..."

"You..." He pressed Ling Can's head hard, "Am I not protecting you? Let's go."

“...No...I can’t survive alone anyway...I might as well be with you..." Ling Can’s eyes were filled with tears.

"What nonsense are you talking about." He took off his helmet and put it on Lingcan's head.

"See? This helmet's skills."
