I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

The girl shouted in a lively voice, "Because I was assigned to carry out the Kingdom's mission, I had to postpone the departure of the investigation team for a week. I am deeply sorry again."

"She is the leader."

Aiden was a little surprised. He thought that the leader of the fifth group would be a burly man who could stand a person up with his punches and run a horse with his arms. But he didn't expect that it would be a girl of the same age as himself.

"Indeed, he looks very young, but...he is very strong."

Xier stared closely at the girl who was speaking on the stage. For some reason, this girl gave her a very similar feeling to Master Meiya, and Xier had a vague feeling that the girl's strength was far more than she had imagined.

"Don't underestimate her."

Unlike Aiden who is a hunter, the scribe lady next to him said seriously: "She is the most famous hunter in the kingdom recently. She is known as a genius that hunters rarely see in a century."

"Wait! I've heard of this!"

Aiden was stunned for a moment, and when he heard his partner say this, he also remembered the rumors he had heard before.

"You think she is the legendary hunter who is proficient in all weapons and fought off the Steel Dragon and the Flame Dragon?"

As someone who has an inextricable bond with the Steel Dragon, Aiden is extremely yearning for the hunter who fought off the Steel Dragon head-on. He did not expect to meet him here today.

"Yes, it's her. The Scribe Team has specially listed her on the list of members they provided to us. And the most terrifying thing is that her battle records are all genuine."

The scribe confirmed Aiden's guess.

"That's not it!"

Xier was also stunned. So the person in front of her actually fought off Gu Long head-on.

No wonder she was chosen as the group leader, and even made the entire fifth group postpone their trip just for her. Based on this record alone, she is the well-deserved number one.

"Ohhhhhh!"

Aiden on the other side was obviously more excited, with stars in his eyes almost popping out. Since hearing that the girl had defeated the Steel Dragon, Seer had seen quite a lot of excitement in Aiden's eyes, and Seer even thought that he might just rush onto the stage and act like a fanatical fan.

But of course this did not happen. Although Aiden was very enthusiastic, he was still rational. He took a few deep breaths, then calmed down and said, "Sorry, I was a little too excited just now."

"Phew... Fortunately, I thought you were going to jump up."

The scribe let out a long sigh of relief, and it seemed that Xier was not the only one who thought so.

"How is that possible? I wouldn't be that crazy anyway."

Aiden scratched his head in embarrassment, although there was a moment just now, just a moment, he almost had the urge to rush up and ask for an autograph.

"...To sum up, we will expect to reach the New World in three weeks."

"Oops, I was so busy chatting that I didn't hear what the leader said..."

Aiden was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he didn't hear what the captain said at all.

"We didn't hear it either."

Xier and the scribe looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"but……"

Xier glanced around quietly. Everyone who had seemed a little listless due to the postponement of the departure now had an expectant look on their faces. It seemed that the team leader had really mobilized everyone's emotions. He was truly a magical team leader.

"Now is the time to climb to glory. Let us ride on this white wind blowing towards the New World and head for the New World!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

Although they didn't understand what was happening, as everyone was shouting excitedly, Xier and others were also driven by the passionate atmosphere and shouted their own voices.

(Hey! Plan your passage!)

The seemingly casual gaze was actually fixed on the expression on Xier's face. When she saw a smile on her face, the girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, she didn't expect to find the person she had been looking for in the fifth group.

Three years ago, Xi'er's breath awakened her from her deep sleep. Although she didn't know what power Xi'er had, she knew that Xi'er could help her grow and complete the mission she had to complete. Since she was also a newborn, she instinctively followed Xi'er's remaining breath to the Old World.

Ever since she came to the Old World, she has been intentionally or unintentionally asking about the person who made her heart beat fast, although she doesn't know whether she, who is just a cocoon, can still feel the same.

However, searching for that person in such a vast sea of ​​people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Three years of searching have yielded no results. However, she has completely integrated into human life and even become a member of the hunters.

During this period, she also encountered ancient dragons such as the Steel Dragon and the Flame King Dragon, who "thoughtfully" gave her some materials so that she could make several sets of armor and weapons, so that she would not have to accidentally reveal her identity when facing powerful monsters.

Until she accepted the position of leader of the fifth group, she thought she would never find that person, so she decided to follow the investigation team back to the New World, at least to get herself hatched first.

Now she is like a clone. Although she looks no different from a human, she is actually a high-energy aggregate that relies on the ability of her original body to freely manipulate the energy of the earth veins to maintain her existence. If her original body can be hatched, she can use the energy of the earth veins to find that person.

Fortunately, she felt Xi'er's presence in the city as soon as she arrived in Dongduoluma. This made her overjoyed, and she even wanted to abandon her identity as the fifth leader and live in the city directly. Anyway, her life span was long enough to search every corner bit by bit.

However, before she gave up this idea, it made her sober up. If she gave up this identity, then Seele would probably go to the New World with the investigation team. Then, if she focused her attention here, she might not be able to detect Seele's existence until the day of hatching.

(We are destined to be together!)

When the girl saw Xier for the first time, she completely believed in fate. It turned out that there was an attraction between them, and they were attracted to each other!

(I will make you stay by my side willingly!)

And it had nothing to do with fate. The moment the girl saw Xier, she decided that she was the person who could accompany her for the rest of her life.

(Please, look at me carefully!)

The girl has made up her mind that she will capture Xier on this trip to the New World!

--------------------------------

Xier, who had no idea that she had been clearly arranged, was boarding the ship specially prepared for sailing to the New World with everyone else.

They were made of the hardest trees the kingdom could find, were equipped with dozens of cannons and crossbows, and were fully loaded with supplies. It could be said that these ships were the most powerful fleet the kingdom could muster.

"Wow, it's so big!"

Xier, who had rarely seen a ship, was very excited. She observed the entire structure of the ship with great interest.

Now she was in the hall below the deck, where everyone ate and worked. It was arranged like this so that if hunters were needed to fight the enemy at sea, they could go to the wide deck to fight at the first time.

On the next level were the bedrooms and storage rooms, where their luggage and other belongings were stored. Further down were the watertight compartments and cabins, but there wasn't much to see there.

"Xi'er, what's your room number?"

The scribe asked.

"I'm number 103."

Xier looked at the number tag given to her when she boarded the ship and said.

"Oh... Too bad, I'm number 109."

The scribe waved the number plate in her hand and said with some disappointment.

Although the ship is large, there are not many rooms, so it is not guaranteed that everyone will have a single room. The recommended group and the scribe team members have double rooms, and the rest of the people have quadruple rooms.

"But we're not far away."

Xi'er chuckled and said, "After I arrange my luggage, can I go somewhere to play?"

"Of course! Welcome, welcome!"

The scribe's eyes lit up. She had wanted to call Xier over for a long time, but she didn't say anything because they were not very familiar with each other.

"Then it's agreed."

Xier said goodbye to the scribe with a smile, then walked towards her room.

“103…103. Ah, I found it.”

Room 103 is located in the first few rooms on the second floor, so it is very easy to find.

"Knock down."

Xier knocked on the door gently, but no sound came from the room.

"Eh? Has anyone arrived yet?"

Xier was a little surprised. She was one of the last few to get on the boat, but her roommate hadn't arrived yet?

"I'm in..."

Using the key to open the door, Xier pushed it open gently to prevent her roommate from waking her up in case she fell asleep.

And just as Xier guessed, the room was empty, but the luggage was neatly arranged, it seemed that her roommate had gone out.

Putting her luggage aside, Xier threw herself onto the bed.

"Mmm... so hard~"

Unlike the bed he had in Dondoruma, the bed here was much harder due to the needs of the ship.

"Hmm...but I'm so sleepy...I can pack my luggage later...I guess."

As if possessed by some magical power, Xier was tightly wrapped by the quilt. Even if she tried hard to get up, it was of no avail. She could only wait for sleepiness to gradually creep into her heart, and then her eyelids became heavier and heavier until she fell into a deep sleep.

After only a dozen seconds, the room, which had been a little noisy, became quiet again.

——————————————————————————————

time flies

"Ahh, I'm so sleepy... Meetings are really troublesome..."

Until just now, the girl was still in the captain's room discussing itinerary issues with the captain. Since the time was one week late, the previously booked itinerary had to be changed.

So she had a 'friendly' discussion with the hot-tempered captain, which included but was not limited to verbal discussions, physical discussions, and discussions on combat power. It ended with her pinning the captain to the corner and beating him up, and both parties reached a consensus.

She was so focused that she could only return to her bedroom when it was dark.

"103...103..."

With the help of the dim light in the corridor, the girl finally found her room.

"Hey? Come to think of it, are there any roommates or something? Well... maybe they went to a party... Never mind."

The girl was so tired that she yawned. Although her body, which was filled with high energy, would not get tired, her spirit was still that of a child. A good child should go to bed on time so that she could grow up healthily.

Pushing the door open, the girl found herself in darkness.

"That's right...it was still daytime before I left, but now it's too dark."

The girl yawned again. She no longer wanted to turn on the light.

Dragging her increasingly sleepy spirit, the girl threw herself directly onto the nearest bed.

"If my roommate...comes back, he should be able to see...me."

The girl was extremely tired mentally after experiencing such a great joy today. However, she was so sleepy that she didn't notice that there was someone beside her.

"Huh... I'm so tired... Good night... Um... It's so soft... And it has such a big pillow, it's so nice."

The bedroom fell silent again.

(Revised) Chapter 6 White Wind Sailing to the New World

In the early morning, the hull swayed gently with the waves, and the sunlight shone into the room through the small window on the top of the room, directly onto Xier's delicate sleeping face.

"Ugh... It's so painful. It seems like I had a nightmare about being hugged by a squid..."

Xier woke up slowly. She felt as if she had become heavier after waking up. She didn't know why she had a dream last night that she was wrapped by a giant squid. The feeling lingered for a long time, and even now...

"ah!!!"

Xier screamed because she found that being hugged was not a dream but a reality.

"Eh!!"

However, what surprised Xier even more was that the person hugging her was none other than the group leader whom she had just met yesterday.

(Why is the group leader here? Why is she hugging me? Why are we both in the same bed?)

In an instant, countless questions rushed into Xier's little head, and the shocking fact almost made Xier crash.

"Well!"

Xier, who finally reacted, immediately covered her mouth, then took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down. She quietly raised the arm that was around her, and Xier slowly slipped out from the embrace of the group leader.

"Well?"

Suddenly losing the object he was hugging, the sleeping leader subconsciously felt around.

Seeing this, Xier quickly stuffed the pillow beside her into her hands. Having found something to fill her emptiness, the leader finally stopped moving her hands, which had nowhere to put, and pressed the pillow tightly into her broad chest.

"Well……"
