Ark, I got cold a little early

"roll!"

horn……

After being scolded by Ines, Hongyu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

That doesn't work? Then what do you want me to be curious about? Didn't you ask the question? Why are you arguing with me after I answered your question?

"It seems that you have solved it here?"

At this time, Hedley walked over slowly. Obviously, he was very confident about the safety of the other teammates where Hongyu was.

"Solved, huh? Where's W?" (This W isn't that W. It's the old mercenary, not the illiterate cockroach who likes to plant bombs.)

"He's gone to get the money. I'll pick you up."

Hedley replied, then he walked to Hongyu, looked at Inès who had a sour face and asked Hongyu: "What's wrong with her?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Hongyu said, "I don't know."

……

……

……

"Look, Yu, what do you think of this mission?"

A mercenary named Will, reeking of alcohol, approached Hongyu and asked drunkenly, "Is this a rare escort mission?"

(Original characters, I just felt that there were too few of them and it was a bit difficult to write them. Their presence will gradually fade away in the later part.)

Holding a glass of water in his hand, Hong Yu stepped back with a look of disgust and waved his hand, saying, "Go away, I get it. Don't tell me about such a simple task."

"Hahahaha, Yu, why do you only drink water when you come to the tavern? Where's the wine? Don't you want to drink some?"

Old W's laughter was very wanton.

Old W is a person who always likes to laugh no matter what. His laughter always makes people feel like he is planning something, but in fact he is a person who trusts others more than anyone else.

However, he always felt that he was somewhat out of tune with this mercenary group led by Hedley and Hongyu.

"I'm happy, you can't control it."

Hongyu smiled at Old W and took another sip of water.

"How can that be possible?! How can a mercenary be called a mercenary if he can't drink?! Come on! Drink!"

Behind Hongyu, Will heard Hongyu's words, but in the next second, without even needing Hongyu to do anything, he lay down on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

"Thanks, Inès."

Watching the black and purple threads slowly retracting from the drunk man's legs, Hongyu raised his glass to Ines who was standing beside him.

"Humph."

With a cold snort, Ines didn't look at Hongyu and just drank alone.

Hedley on the side watched the interaction between the two with great interest.

These two guys... have a little problem...

He gave Hongyu a teasing smile, and then saw Hongyu's puzzled expression.

Why is Sha Dachun smiling at me?

Is it really so shameful not to drink in a pub?

-

"Later we found out he just didn't like drinking, not that he couldn't drink."

"Once, he got all of us drunk, and he still paid the bill in high spirits."

Chapter 96: I have no resistance to furry things.

"You've been watching all day, can't you just stop and relax?"

Ines sighed, unable to ignore Hongyu's glances from time to time, and looked at Hongyu helplessly and spoke.

What's wrong with this guy lately? He's never been so concerned about my ears before.

"Um...I'll try my best?"

Scratching his cheek, Hongyu looked away.

But...it really feels so soft, and seems to have a good feel...

"Really... promise me..."

Inès sighed and glanced around. After confirming that no one was around, she softened her tone and spoke softly:

"Are you really that curious?"

"very curious."

In Hongyu's impression, Ines no longer had any of Caprini's racial characteristics in appearance, but now she was not deliberately disguising herself, which made Hongyu feel very strange.

It’s like... your friend who has been a street-smart guy for more than ten years suddenly changes into an artistic youth one day.

Who wouldn't be curious?

As for why Hongyu only discovered this two years after the timeline of their meeting...it can only be said that at certain times, Hongyu will show the super-long reflex arc that is unique to him as a centenarian.

"What you said before..."

Inès spoke hesitantly. Although her expression remained calm, her cheeks gradually turned red, betraying her pretended calmness.

"Want to touch."

Before Inès could finish, Hongyu responded directly.

"..."

What's wrong with this guy?!

With a faint blush on her face, Ines looked at Hongyu with contempt and said, "If you dare to use force, I will kill you."

"Huh? You agree?"

Hongyu looked surprised.

"You talk too much... Ugh!"

You bastard, stop doing this while I'm talking?!

goo...

……

……

……

"Hey, W, do you think the atmosphere between Inès and Yu is a little off lately?"

Will came closer to Old W and whispered.

"Shh, shh, shh, don't be so talkative! They probably still think they're the only two in the entire mercenary group who know about their recent affairs, but in fact, everyone knows!"

Old W patted Will on the head and signaled him to speak more quietly.

"whats the matter?"

Will's tone gradually became more curious.

"No way? You really don't know?"

The corner of Old W's mouth twitched. He really didn't expect that the intelligence of this drunkard boy was so bad.

"Hey! So why don't you tell me what's going on? Stop just laughing all day long!"

Will said dissatisfiedly.

"That's right, Inès' ears. Yu is the only one she allows to touch them."

"Although I don't know what touching ears means to the Caprini race, but... every time Yu touched Inès's ears, it was in a place where no one was around."

"Let me tell you, I saw it secretly before. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Inès's face was so red that it could be used as the bottom of a pot."

"Hey, don't tell anyone about it, even though everyone knows about it, they don't know that their affair is known to everyone."

"Huh? Does that mean... they might become that kind of relationship in the future?"

Will's expression gradually became the same as Old W's.

"Yeah, that's right, that's the relationship..."

Old W looked teasingly at Hongyu, who was chatting and laughing with Inès not far away. (Speaking: It's Hongyu, laughing: It's also Hongyu.) (Inès: Expressionless.)

Then, the two of them burst into laughter.

For mercenaries who are dancing on the edge of a knife, if the relationship between two trustworthy teammates is about to change, it is a good topic worth talking about.

But they didn't know that all their conversations were heard by Ines and Hongyu. Soon after, the two were found lying in the wild, seemingly drunk.

Inès: They were just drunk.

Hongyu: Nodded in agreement.

……

……

……

Ines' ears really feel good to the touch, and the fluffy hair on them is a plus for Hongyu.

He really has no resistance to furry things that feel good to the touch, otherwise there would be no need for him to upgrade his doll and pillow making skills to the maximum level when he was in Agol.

"Okay...are you done?"

Her voice was soft, and Inès' dark golden eyes were filled with a hint of shame and anger.

"Hey, time flies."

Seeing that the time limit set by Inès had passed, Hongyu reluctantly let go of her hand.

Quickly slapping away Hongyu's hand before he could withdraw it, Inès sorted herself out and said dissatisfiedly, "Yu, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for me to be the only one being treated like this?"

"is it?"

Scratching his cheek, Hongyu said, "Then I'll let you touch my ear and touch it back?"

"..."

Sure enough, no matter how long we've been together, I'm still left speechless by this guy's inexplicable train of thought.

Inès looked helplessly at the smirking Hongyu and said, "That's not necessary..."

"What do you want?"

Hongyu spoke in confusion. He couldn't believe that he had touched Ines' ears several times, but only this time she said these words inexplicably.

There must be something you want to tell me, right?

"Take off those glasses of yours."

Inès made her request, pointing at the black opaque glasses that Hongyu had been wearing.

"Just... for this?"

Hongyu was a little surprised.

"no?"

"Yes, of course."

Taking off his glasses, Hongyu smiled and said, "But if you think I'm hiding some secret and want to laugh at me, you might be disappointed."

"..."
