Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Xiuer didn't explain because he didn't care.

But Volame had already guessed that the identity of that "angel" must be "Sister Shuul".

Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she could still imagine the scene at that time. Sister Xiuer must have been very handsome at that time, right?

Due to various factors, although Xuul is not as fanatical as Takson in Volame's heart, he also has a high status.

She still remembered the promise he made to her before he left.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiuer, I will definitely...zzz"

Finally, the girl succumbed to sleepiness and slowly fell asleep, staring at the bracelet on her wrist. Only the platinum bracelet was left, glittering in the moonlight...

Chapter 31: Pick up another one?

......

rustle--

Da da da--! !

In the dense woods, there are no paths or signs, and there are only trees as far as the eye can see.

If you enter here without preparation, you will definitely get lost and end up staying here forever.

And now, a girl who looked less than twelve years old was running hurriedly in the woods. The frightened expression on her face seemed as if she was running away from something.

"Ha ha......"

How good can a child's physical strength be?

Sure enough, after a while, the girl's speed slowed down, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move any further.

"what--!"

With a scream, her petite body finally fell to the ground, with mud staining her clothes and face.

"Ahem, I...can't stop...hiss-!"

She wanted to stand up, but the piercing pain in her ankle made her gasp uncontrollably.

No matter how hard she struggled, the girl couldn't get up on her own. Her ankle was bent at an angle high enough to fracture due to the fall.

Her exhausted body made it impossible for her to maintain her spirit. This was too cruel for a child.

"Mother......"

She was thinking about her mother all the time, and now she wished that she had listened to her mother and stayed in the village.

boom......

Within seconds, the ground began to tremble.

It seemed as if some huge creature was moving around.

Boom, boom...!

The sound was getting closer and the vibrations on the ground were getting stronger.

A huge hoof landed on the ground in front of the girl, and a giant bull-headed monster appeared here.

Despair filled my heart.

She closed her eyes, hoping the pain would only last for a moment.

......

1 second passed...

2 second passed...

......

eh?

No pain felt.

Could it be that when that monster killed him, he died instantly? That would be great.

Roar--!

Hey, why can I still hear the monster's roar?

Am I not dead?

I opened my eyes slightly, and a majestic and powerful figure appeared in my sight.

Looking in the direction of the monster, the monster that looked very scary before has now turned into two lumps of meat lying quietly on the ground.

The monster was cut in half from the middle.

There was a strong fishy smell all around.

......

----

......

After Takson killed his target with one axe, he simply smashed the axe handle on the ground beside him.

Then he pressed his fingers on the thing in his ear.

"Teacher, the goal has been achieved, and this commission has been completed."

Now, Takson is 19 years old and his body has grown a lot. His strong body like a wall is enough to meet people's imagination of a macho man.

Ordinary people can tell at a glance that this must be a powerful warrior.

If you ignore the monk's attire and the holy book hanging from his waist...

"Yeah, yeah, okay, I understand."

After hanging up the call with his teacher through the headset, Takson turned around and looked at the girl still lying on the ground.

......

----

In a village beyond the woods...

Xiuer sat in the living room of the village chief's house, quietly listening to the story of the old village chief.

Today, the master and disciple passed by this village, and in order to let Taksen rest, they chose to stay here.

Of course, I also accepted the village chief's commission, which I regarded as the accommodation fee for this time.

Just as the old man was explaining the origin of the commission to Xiuer, the latter received a communication message from his apprentice in his signal receiver.

"There is an incoming call, do you want to answer it?"

"catch"

Shul provided Takson with a small headset that could be firmly inserted into the latter's ears and would not fall off, allowing Takson to talk to him at any time.

In addition, there are many other functions, which I will not go into detail here.

Just when the village chief was speaking excitedly.

"[Notice] The mission target has been cleared, and the commission has been completed."

"Uh...ah?"

The old man, who was a little confused about what the "commission" was, remembered it immediately, but was still puzzled. Why did they suddenly say it was completed?

It was obvious that the other party's apprentice had only been out for a short time.

Seeing the village chief's "disbelief", Xuer did not explain anything, but just said goodbye to the village chief temporarily, and opened a space channel leading to Takson in a place where no one could see.

Originally, I wanted Takson to come directly with the dropped materials, but the situation was different.

Because Xiuer detected that there was another biological signal next to his apprentice.

Then......

"..."

Xiuer's golden eyes stared mercilessly at the girl in Takson's arms.

"Ahaha, this... Teacher, let me explain."

He understood what the teacher meant in an instant. In order to avoid misunderstanding, Takson quickly began to explain the whole story to his teacher.

It turns out that this girl's name is Alice.

The adults in the family are businessmen, and this trip was to go to another city to do business with his parents in his own carriage.

Unfortunately, they were attacked by a group of powerful monsters on the way, and the hired adventurers and guards were not enough to intercept them all.

Finally, with the help of her parents, an adventurer took her away from there while she was still a child.

Alice didn't want to run away, but her parents didn't want their child to die here, so they ordered the adventurer to take her away by force.

Unfortunately, in the end, the adventurer was still held back by the monster that was chasing him, leaving Alice to escape alone.

This is how he was later rescued by Takson.

All of this was learned by Takson from the other party. As for its authenticity, it remains to be investigated.

While Tuckson told the story, Shul didn't say a word.

He just listened to his apprentice's explanation while scanning the girl in his arms.

"I'm done."

"[Confirmed] Data collection is complete and the situation is true."

After knowing that the misunderstanding had been perfectly resolved, Takson's nervous heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"【Additional】We'll discuss this girl tomorrow. Now go get your reward."

"it is good."

As he spoke, Takson held the girl in his arms, followed Shuul's steps, and returned to the village. He handed the materials dropped by the monster to the old village chief as proof that he had indeed killed the target.

......

"Thank you very much, reliable adventurers. Please wait a moment while I go inside to get my reward."

After confirming that the other party had completed the commission so quickly, the old man was very excited. He immediately took out the reward and agreed to the master and apprentice's request for accommodation.

"I didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly. It's really reassuring."

After saying goodbye to the happy old man, Xiuer and his group came to the house where they were going to spend the night.

"Teacher, what should we do with this child?"

Takson looked at Alice who was already sleeping on the bed, and he couldn't think of a solution for a moment.

The reason he saved the child was initially out of kindness. After all, he was not a heartless person and would help if he could, as long as it was convenient for him.

"【Answer】You sleep in my room. I don't need sleep."

"That's all it can do now."

After so many years of getting along, Takson knew some of his teacher's characteristics, so he didn't say much.

He obediently moved into the room originally arranged for Xiuer.

As for Xiuer, he sat on the rooftop, quietly watching the moon in the sky...

......

Chapter 32: Is there something else hidden?

The next morning——

The sunlight filtered through the window and shone onto the face of the sleeping blonde girl.

"Well......"

The girl turned over to avoid the glaring sunlight, and still looked like she wanted to sleep in.
