Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

After formulating a strategy for this urgent matter, Old Man Guiyu sighed lightly and began to deal with the work left behind by the (former) chief hall master.

Old Master Guiyu saw that among the many commissions to be processed, there was one that was sent by the Sky Ghost and the Earth Ghost of the Snake Shadow Society. The specific content was to ask Zhaoye Liuque to help find a young man named "Banning".

——(Who is Banning? How could the Snake Shadow Society send a commission to him?)

Old man Guiyu suddenly became interested and began to search through the lists of various important personnel.

However, after flipping through all the books in his hand, Mr. Guiyu found nothing.

——(Impossible... Could this be just an ordinary little person?)

Stroking his long beard, old man Guiyu fell into deep thought.

In the Prison Star world, if you are a noble, you must have a surname in your name.

Since it wasn't mentioned in the commission sent by the Snake Shadow Society, it meant that "Banning" was just a civilian.

Among the civilians that Teruya Ryuque had investigated, there was no such person as "Banning", which meant that there was nothing special about "Banning".

——(Oh my god, is this guy really just an ordinary boy? Why would the Snake Shadow Society ask us to do such a simple job?)

Old man Guiyu twisted his beard around his slender fingers again and again... and finally decided not to worry about it anymore.

He has so many trivial matters to deal with right now that he has no time to guess what those guys from the Snake Shadow Society want to do. Anyway, the commission is neither complicated nor dangerous, so he might as well assign it to the lower-level personnel.

Thus, this commission, in which Tetodaf had discovered important clues, slipped away from under the nose of Mr. Weird Language.

The old man continued to handle official business all the way until he arrived at the base.

The view switches back to Mel Town. It is now five o'clock in the afternoon.

The owner of the two stores, Shiiki Ruri, had just finished a busy period and was planning to find a place to sit down, have a drink and rest.

However, a voice that went straight to her mind shattered her idea of ​​rest.

(Frost Knight Stan: Boss Liuli, the plan has changed. You should just go home.)

(Shiiki Ruri: Eh…? Oh, okay, meow.)

The questioning sound was Shiiki Ruri's subconscious reaction, and then she followed the instructions of the Frost Armor Knight, and then asked the other party why he did so while taking action.

In Shiiki Ruri's imagination, the Frost Armor Knight must have had some serious emergency, which was why he gave instructions without warning.

However, the answer given by the Frost Armor Knight not only exceeded Shiiki Ruri's expectations, but also made her little face turn red all of a sudden.

(Frost Knight Stan: You ask why I suddenly want to go home? Of course, I want to go back to sleep together.)

(Shiiki Ruri: Eh? Eh——? Eh——???!!!)

Fortunately, it was a voice in her mind, otherwise Shiiki Ruri's dolphin-like scream would have attracted all the employees of the Cat Girl Restaurant and the Cat Girl Milk Tea Shop.

·

It’s only five o’clock in the afternoon.

The sun hasn't even set yet.

Even before dinner, the Frost Knight was already talking about "going back to bed," and he was still sleeping together!

Shiiki Ruri deeply suspected that she had heard it wrong, because the Frost Armor Knight was not that kind of person, and the relationship between them was not that kind of person. So, after almost shocking the Frost Armor Knight "deaf", she hurried to confirm with him again.

The Frost Knight explained in a sad tone that they had an emergency operation tonight, so they had to go back to bed early to replenish their magic power. As for why he used the word "together", it was simply to express that both of them needed to replenish their magic power.

Shiiki Ruri could only reluctantly accept this answer.

Sometimes, Shiiki Ruri really found it strange. Lord Frost Armor Knight was a meticulous and cautious person in most cases, but when he was with her, he would occasionally say some foolish words, which made her imagine too much, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

What Shiiki Ruri didn't know was that in fact, the Frost Knight Stan, or rather, our classmate Jiang Ran, actually did it on purpose.

He intentionally used this suggestive communication to control the distance between himself and Shiiki Ruri. After all, if the plan was successfully completed, Shiiki Ruri would be his spokesperson in Teruya Ryujaku.

How to make this spokesperson, who cannot be in frequent contact with the spokesperson, maintain his long-term loyalty is an important issue that Jiang Ran must consider and solve right now.

·

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Jiang Ran, who was lurking in the shadows, explained to Shiiki Ruri about the impromptu action tonight on the way back to her house.

Jiang Ran told Shiiki Ruri that due to the unexpected visit of Mr. Guiyu, he had to temporarily add a strategic battle in the "Wakno Volcano Ruins".

This special operation needs to be arranged in advance before Mr. Guiyu arrives at the volcanic ruins, so he and Shiiki Ruri must set off tonight.

(Frost Knight Stan: In order to stay ahead of Mr. Whisper, we have to travel all night. That's why we have to go back to bed early to replenish our magic power.)

(Shiiki Ruri: Oh, so that's how it is, nya...)

Shiiki Ruri nodded as she walked. She knew that the Frost Armor Knight must have a legitimate reason for saying that.

However, when it comes to replenishing magic power, she has a special idea.

10.25 - Departure

Shiiki Ruri: Mr. Stan, if we're in a hurry, I do have an idea... No, two ideas, nya.

Hoping to be praised by the Frost Armor Knight, Shiiki Ruri took the initiative to seek opportunities to perform.

When Lord Frost Armor Knight heard that Shiiki Ruri had an idea, he immediately asked her to explain it in detail, and then Shiiki Ruri began her imaginative statement.

Shiiki Ruri said that Lord Stan's most important goal at the moment is to reach the ruins of the Wacono volcano before Old Man Weird Whisper. As for "going back to sleep early to replenish magic power", that is not the goal, but a means to achieve the goal.

Therefore, if there were other ways to replenish magic power more efficiently and conveniently, they would not have to go back to sleep.

(Shiiki Ruri: So, I'd like to suggest two potentially better ways to replenish your magic power. Lord Stan, please listen and see if they're feasible.)

After appropriate preparation, Shiiki Ruri expressed her two ideas.

The first idea was to let Lord Frost Armor Knight sleep in the shadow, and then while Lord Frost Armor Knight was asleep, Shiiki Ruri could travel at the same time.

If the speed of recovering magic power while sleeping is greater than the speed of consumption, then the Frost Armor Knight can even "live" in Shiiki Ruri's shadow forever, which is perfect!

In response to this idea, Lord Frostmail Knight said, "Unfortunately, I must stay awake while in the shadows. If I fall asleep, I'll be forced to 'pop' out of the shadows, so I can't do what you're suggesting."

After hearing the answer from Lord Frost Armor Knight, Shiiki Ruri felt a little frustrated, but it didn't matter because she had a second idea!

"How about this, Master Stan? Let's rent a carriage and take turns sleeping. This way, we can not only replenish our magic power, but also reach the Wakeno Volcano Ruins faster."

Shiiki Ruri is confident about this second idea.

If necessary, she could even sleep for only an hour or half an hour, giving all the sleep time during the journey to the Frost Armor Knight.

Because Shiiki Ruri knew that if something really happened, the magic power of the Frost Armor Knight would definitely be more important than hers.

After hearing Shiiki Ruri's second idea, Lord Frost Armor Knight pondered for a while before giving his answer.

(Frostmail Knight Stan: That's a good idea indeed. Let's go straight to the post station.)

The Frost Armor Knight's hesitation made Shiiki Ruri a little concerned. Could it be that there was some problem with this plan?

But the situation is urgent now, and since Lord Frost Armor Knight has already approved it, Shiiki Ruri didn't ask any more questions. In short, he decided to get the carriage first.

·

The perspective switches back to Jiang Ran. He really agrees with the idea that Shiiki Ruri just proposed.

However, adopting Shiiki Ruri's idea was not perfect. The price of taking turns sleeping while traveling was that neither of them could get enough rest, and the magic power restored would definitely not be as much as a good sleep in Mel Town.

However, considering that he could reach the Wakeno volcanic ruins faster, Jiang Ran felt that this disadvantage was acceptable.

Judging from the old man Guiyu's fourth-order level 140 combat strength, Jiang Ran can easily deal with him without being in the best condition. If there are any unexpected situations, he also has many "new killer weapons" to deal with them accordingly.

Not long after, as Shiiki Ruri strode quickly, Jiang Ran, who was lurking in the shadows, was brought to the post station outside the town of Mel.

Shiiki Ruri explained her purpose to the innkeeper with ease and said that she wanted to rent the fastest carriage.

Unexpectedly, the boss said that the last carriage had left Mel Town yesterday, and there was only one plateau horse left to rent to her.

"Eh? Is there really no carriage left? Boss, can you think of another way, meow?"

Shiiki Ruri looked embarrassed. It was not that she did not know how to ride a horse, but if she and Lord Frost Armor Knight were to ride on the same horse, then it would be very embarrassing no matter whether she or Lord Frost Armor Knight sat in the front...!

"It's not that I don't want to help you, Boss Liuli, there really is no carriage left, and you're all alone. Don't tell me you can't ride a horse."

The innkeeper's question left Shiiki Ruri speechless.

She does look like she's alone now, but in her shadow, there's also the Frost Armor Knight.

Just when Shiiki Ruri was in a dilemma, the sound of dense horse hooves suddenly came from afar.

She immediately looked in the direction of the sound excitedly, and sure enough, there was a carriage galloping towards them, raising dust.

"Great, meow! Perfect timing, meow!"

Shiiki Ruri was so happy that she danced with joy. As soon as the passenger in the carriage got off, she jumped into the carriage and took it for herself.

"Boss, I want this carriage. By the way, you can let the coachman go home and rest, because I want to drive it myself this time."

As Shiiki Ruri said this, she nimbly flipped from the car to the driver's seat.

The innkeeper would have no objection as long as he was paid. Even if the carriage was destroyed by the young proprietress, he had already collected the deposit and would not lose anything.

So, at the urging of Shiiki Ruri, the inn owner replaced the carriage with the plateau horse and let the horse that originally pulled the carriage return to the stable to rest.

Then, Shiiki Ruri drove off in the carriage.

·

"Drive! Drive!"

In the wilderness, a cat-man girl with cherry hair and red eyes was driving a carriage at full speed.

The voice of the Lord Frost Knight appeared in the girl's mind at the right time, telling her that he was about to come out (from the shadows), and then he appeared on the roof of the carriage out of thin air like magic.

"Master Stan, I'm not sleepy yet. You go to sleep first, meow~!"

Shiiki Ruri was not being cliché, because it was not yet six o'clock in the evening, and she was not capable of falling asleep so early.

It was not known whether the Frost Armor Knight had not noticed this problem or was confident that he could fall asleep. He responded to Shiiki Ruri and turned over to go to sleep in the carriage.

·

It was dusk and the sun was setting in the west. Outside the carriage, Shiiki Ruri was driving steadily in the driver's seat. Inside the carriage, the Frost Armor Knight was sitting leaning against the wall, seemingly motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.

Perhaps it was because the long-distance drive was too boring, or perhaps there were some little thoughts tickling her mind, but Shiiki Ruri would turn around every once in a while and look through the small window to see what was happening with the Frost Armor Knight.

The carriage was shaking on the bumpy road, and inside the carriage, the helmet of the Frost Knight was shaking along with it.

What kind of face is hidden inside the helmet of the Frost Knight?

Is he a tough and weathered uncle?

Or a gentle and handsome man?

Gradually, Shiiki Ruri couldn't help but want to find out what was going on.

10.26 - Curiosity almost killed the cat

Curiosity is one of the driving forces that drives people to act, and this is especially true for cat people.

However, there's an old saying that goes, curiosity kills the cat. Whether cats are really that curious or not is a question for now, but it's a fact that Shiiki Ruri's curiosity is about to explode.

Shiiki Ruri now feels as if there are millions of ants crawling on her heart, crawling everywhere, making her extremely "itchy".

In the carriage, every time the Frost Armor Knight's helmet shook, Shiiki Ruri's heart shook with it.

How great it would be if the helmet could fall off by itself, meow—Shiiki Ruri couldn't help but have such an illusion.

However, Shiiki Ruri is not someone who would wait for pie to fall from the sky. She is a very practical and hardworking person, and she will strive for everything she wants through her own efforts.

So, very aggressively, the rented carriage began to twist and turn in a serpentine manner on the flat ground without any obstacles under Shiiki Ruri's "superb" driving skills. The carriage was shaken several times and almost overturned several times.

However, even though Shiiki Ruri had gone to such a mad extent, the Frost Knight's helmet was still covering his head, leaving Shiiki Ruri no chance of success.

Is it really necessary to overturn the carriage? Shiiki Ruri complained hysterically in her heart.

——(Damn it, meow! It’s almost time for bedtime. If this keeps up, I won’t get to see the true face of the Frost Knight, meow!)

As the moon gradually rose in the sky, Shiiki Ruri couldn't help but start to get anxious.

If you miss such a good opportunity as today, you will never have it again!

Just as Shiiki Ruri was thinking this, a light bulb suddenly lit up in her head and she had an idea...!
