Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

"Ah? I didn't ask you to prepare it for him!"

Shenwei was immediately unhappy.

Zig asked, "Do you consider this as...jealousy?"

"What else?" Shenwei said as if it was a matter of course. "Wait, could it be that... you have not only failed to find a weapon that suits you in the past eight years, but you have also failed to find a woman you like?"

"..."

"Pfft hahaha!"

Seeing that Sieg remained silent, Shenwei couldn't help but burst out laughing: "It seems that I am ahead of you in another aspect! You rookie! Can you do it? As a man, you are too embarrassing!"

"......(anger)"

Seeing Shenwei burst into laughter...or rather, laughing at himself, Sieg suddenly felt his fists harden, and a nameless anger suddenly rose in his heart.

It’s great to have a woman!

It’s great to have good weapons!

"Let's not talk about the weapons for now... When did I ever say that I don't have a favorite woman?"

12. Who should be wronged?

Who is the woman you like?

Sieg couldn't think of an answer to this question. After all, he had no interest in love.

But even though he was not interested, Shenwei had already made such a contemptuous sarcasm. It would be a shame if he didn't do something!

To be honest, if anyone else mocked him like this, he wouldn't care - except for this guy Shenwei! Sieg really didn't want to be mocked by him!

Just a dwarf! He's still so arrogant after not seeing him for eight years?

"Oh?"

Hearing Zigg's tough rebuttal, Shenwei couldn't help but laugh: "You have a woman you like? Why didn't I see it before?"

"Do I need to bring my woman with me all the time? Or do you bring the Saint of Time with you all the time?"

"How is that possible? This guy is not free every day. Besides, if I encounter some situations that I find troublesome, taking her with me will only cause trouble for me - OK, I understand. Then let me meet her next time? I want to see what your vision is. But to be honest, I think there is definitely something wrong with being with a dead red-haired guy like you."

Kamui said as he pointed to his head.

Sieg rudely stepped on him under the table and said, "I'll return this sentence to you intact. The Saint of Time is really wronged to live with an idiot dwarf like you."

"You red-haired bastard, are you looking for a fight?"

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

The two people who were bound by bad karma stared at each other, and then—

Duang!

Kamui was about to take action, but was stopped by Carula's iron fist before he could actually do anything.

Placing another large bowl of freshly stir-fried food in front of Zig, Carula said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zig, this idiot never thinks before speaking. I hope you don't mind."

"Hey~~~~Why am I the one getting beaten again?"

Grabbing Carla's arm, Shenwei raised his head and grabbed her into his arms, hugging her tightly from behind: "Aren't you a little too arrogant today, Saint Lady?"

"I heard it clearly. It's you who are provoking Mr. Zigg again, right?"

After breaking free from Shenwei's embrace in an instant, Carla straightened her clothes and said, "How many times have I told you that you need to be polite when dealing with people? Even if you are rude by nature, you should at least be polite to the minimum extent."

"Tsk, this is so troublesome. Why should I be so respectful to a bunch of rookies? Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit."

"Well, I agree with this." Sieg nodded. "It's rare that I agree with you."

"I'm not happy at all to be recognized by you, a dead red-haired guy. Eat this bowl of food and get out of here. Remember to bring your woman here next time we meet. But if we really have to compare, my Saint Lady is definitely better in every aspect."

"Fxxxp, mine is definitely better."

"*half-dragon swears*! Mine is better!"

"my home!"

"my home!"

As if it was a continuation of the previous argument, Sieg and Kamui started arguing again.

The quarrel, which was no different from that of children, ended only when Carula intervened.

And after leaving Kamui's wooden house at last——

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

"...This is the situation. Can one of you please excuse me?"

After finding a remote place where Kamuy wouldn't notice, Sieg returned to the Crimsheed and immediately approached Stella and the others who were having dinner in the restaurant, and told them about the [struggle] between himself and Kamuy.

The women who were eating were all stunned at once. They all stood there in a daze, as if time had stopped, without saying a word.

Seeing their reaction, Zieg sighed helplessly: "That's right... This request is indeed a bit unreasonable for you. It was originally a decision made by me at the top of my head. It's not good to ask you to act with me - sorry, just pretend I didn't say that."

"Tsk, I'm really going to be laughed at by that dwarf next time we meet."

Seeing Sieg apologizing, turning around, and leaving with a displeased whisper, Stella, who was still in a daze a second ago, slammed the table hard!

"boom----!"

The table made of special materials was immediately slapped by her, leaving a hot palm print! The entire table of dishes was shaken into the air! The others at the table were so scared that they quickly woke up and caught the dishes one by one.

Hearing the loud noise, Sieg turned around and looked at Stella: "What's wrong with you, Stella? Why are you slamming the table so hard all of a sudden?"

"Eh? Uh...n-nothing!"

Stella was a little flustered for some reason.

"It's just that I was a little surprised that you would make such a request. I thought you finally showed some interest in that area, so I was quite shocked."

"I've said it before, I have no interest in sex - but being mocked by that guy Kamui is another matter." Sieg bit his fingernails, "I don't mind being looked down upon by anyone, but I don't want to be mocked by that guy. When I think about the fact that the dwarf will continue to laugh at me about this matter when we meet next time... Tsk! I'm going to the training room to vent first!"

After saying that, Zig ran out of the restaurant.

Watching him leave, Stella sat back in her seat and after a moment of silence, she turned to look at the other people at the table with a serious look.

"Everyone, it seems that the current situation is quite serious."

"Well, this is the first time I've seen Sieg react like this. He even did such an abnormal thing... To be honest, I was really scared to the point of having heart problems." Dao Hua also covered his chest where his heart was still beating strongly.

Of course, besides being scared by Sieg, there is also...

"So...what are you going to do about this request made by the senior?"

Himeragi Setsuna raised a question that everyone present was concerned about.

Edwards glanced at everyone except himself: "Accompanying Zig to act and pretending to be his woman, judging from Zig's description, this may be a long-term task... Although I am happy that he has finally made some progress in understanding men and women, the cause is really the fighting spirit..."

"However, this is also a good change - Ning Yin and I will not participate, you guys can discuss it among yourselves."

Do you want to discuss it among yourselves?

Stella, Daohua and Jishu looked at each other.

"Then—"

13. The finest wood

Inside the data room of the Clinshid.

Although he said he wanted to go to the training room to vent his unhappiness, Sieg finally turned around and went to the information room.

After all, instead of venting his anger alone, Sieg felt it would be better to seek help from Em, an experienced senior, when it comes to matters of love between men and women.

"Hmm~~~ Because I don't want to be looked down upon by my good brothers, I want to find a temporary girlfriend~~~~"

After listening to Sieg's description, Em pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth curved with interest: "Did you finally trigger this classic plot? But the flowers that I waited for are really withered~~~~"

"...What do you mean? Also? Have you ever encountered a similar situation?"

"No, I haven't encountered it, but there are many similar plots in the study materials and educational guidance manuals I gave you before - you didn't read them?"

"I did not see."

Sieg answered confidently.

Em glared at him helplessly, then explained: "To put it simply, this is a situation that can quickly bring a man and a woman closer together. Although they are just pretend lovers at the beginning, as time goes by and they experience events together, their feelings will gradually heat up until it finally becomes true and they become real lovers!"

"This is a very orthodox and mainstream plot development."

"It's like making a fake thing come true..."

Sieg pondered for a moment, "So, my request could possibly make me and one of Stella and the others become a couple?"

"It stands to reason that there is a high possibility, but as for you..." Em's face showed a look of distrust, "Even if the probability is 100%, it is probably only 1% in your case - who did you choose?"

"Hmm? Who did you choose?"

"Fake girlfriend. Let me guess, with your personality... you are probably planning to choose one from Stella, Daohua and Xiao Xuecai, right? If the target is one of those three, they will not reject you. Who did you choose?"

Sieg shook his head. "I haven't chosen yet. After I told them about this, they all stood there in silence, so I assumed that they all refused. After all, this kind of thing is indeed a bit reluctant for them, and it might even cause them trouble... That's why I came to ask if you have any other solutions."

Em: “…”

(How many years has it been since I came across such top-quality wood?)

(No, I have known him for several years and I knew he was such a person... How many years had it been since I encountered such a high-quality piece of wood before him!?)

After holding his forehead and sighing heavily, Em said, "I say, Zig. You should know that you are an emotional idiot, right?"

"It's true that I don't really understand the relationship between men and women, but it doesn't seem that I'm an idiot, right?"

"No, it's not that serious. Since you know you don't understand, why do you still make assumptions? Can't you be patient and wait for them to come to their senses and give them an answer? Why do you assume that they will reject you?"

Em spoke in a tone of disappointment.

"You learned to think about others a year and a half ago, so why are you talking to yourself again now?"

"No, I am thinking about others." Sieg retorted, "I just think this request is a bit inappropriate, and it is too much for them to come to you-"

(That seems to make sense! Damn it, I can’t refute it right away!)

Em angrily punched her long black silk legs, then she groaned in comfort on the spot, with two blushes on her cheeks.

Seeing her reaction, Zieg knew that he couldn't get any new solutions from her.

(If I continue like this, I will be laughed at by that shorty Kamui... I will probably be laughed at to death by him, right?)

(But since this will cause trouble for Stella and the others, it seems that I can only die of laughter at his expense - otherwise...)

Sieg suddenly turned his gaze to Em.

Noticing Sieg's gaze, Em smiled charmingly: "Ah? Are you planning to ask me for help?"

"Is that okay?"

"It's a pity~~~ I'm just a data life now, and I can't leave this data room at all." Em spread his hands, "But if you really don't want to suffer this loss, then maybe you can go find Sister Hill? She has always been obedient to contractors like us. If I just pretend to be her girlfriend and explain the whole story, she will definitely not be rejected. Besides, Sister Hill is so beautiful, she can handle both housework and housework, she is definitely the perfect choice to show off!"

(Miss Brunhilde?)

Zieg also thought of the woman who had been silently supporting him and had actually been with him the longest.

Indeed, if it was her——

"Can I ask you, Miss Brunhilde?"

[If this is Sieg-sama's order]

The moment Sieg finished speaking, Brunhilde's figure quietly appeared beside him.

[As the auxiliary artificial intelligence attached to the Dragon Slayer System, I should accept any request from the contractor. If Master Sieg thinks it is okay, then I am happy to serve as your temporary lover -]

"--that!"

At this moment, Himeragi Setsuna's voice suddenly rang out from the door of the reference room.
