Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

"Well, I've thought about it." Banning replied calmly.

"You're truly a young, fearless person...Banning, what kind of trial are you going to challenge?"

Uncle Loven from the caravan was intrigued by Banning. Challenging trials is something that will attract everyone's attention no matter where they are.

Because as long as you pass the trial, it means opening the door to the next level, and the ceiling of your own strength will immediately rise a lot.

In the field of combat professions, even a difference of one level can make a world of difference.

"First level difficulty, white trial."

"I see. I heard that the number of White Trials in Sunny Town is very short."

"Yeah, I'll find a way."

Uncle Loving chatted enthusiastically with Banning, while Grandma Cassie listened silently on the side.

She knew in her heart that it was impossible to get Banning to act together.

Originally, Grandma Cassie wanted to encourage Tocchini to help persuade Banning, but now, Tocchini has turned to cheering for Benning to challenge the trial. Not only did she not help Grandma Cassie, but she also made things worse for her.

——(There’s no other way. I’ll just pretend to be sick and stay alone in Sunny Town this time.)

After dinner, Jiang Ran bought some low-priced promotional dishes at the Cat Girl Restaurant, and then went to the slums alone to visit the demihumans living there.

Although the disaster of carrion-eating black rats has been prevented and controlled, ordinary rats are still omnipresent.

The squeaking sounds of mice coming from the shadows from time to time are a reflection of the poverty of this slum.

"Is anyone there? I brought some food."

There were no magic stone lamps for lighting in the slums. Jiang Ran raised the bag in his hand and called out twice, and then the demihumans came out of the house.

Jiang Ran was about to distribute food to everyone when he unexpectedly saw a familiar blond figure emerge from the side.

"Mr. Banning, why are you here?"

Emilia was also holding something in her hand, and it seemed that she was here to help the Asians tonight as well.

Looking at Emilia pretending to be indifferent, Jiang Ran knew very well that her presence here tonight was more or less an attempt to "ambush" him.

"I brought some food for my friends here. Tokini told me that everyone here is a good person." Jiang Ran also answered the question calmly.

The current situation seems that Jiang Ran was ambushed by Emilia, but in fact, Emilia fell into Jiang Ran's trap.

What Jiang Ran wanted to see was that Emilia began to notice his existence unconsciously.

·

Emilia and Benning stood among the demihumans, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

If it weren't for the encouragement of her demihuman friends, Emilia might not have dared to be alone with Banning like this.

After a little planning, Emilia officially began to carry out her purpose of ambush Banning tonight.

"Mr. Banning, can I ask you a question?"

"Please say."

"Why do you repeatedly refuse to take credit?"

Emilia's goal tonight is to make Banning take back the credit.

Banning paused for a moment, then gave his answer.

"I'm socially anxious and don't like the feeling of being noticed."

"Eh……?"

This answer was beyond Emilia's expectations, and she was stunned by it.

However, Emilia looked at Banning again and found that he did seem to be a rather lonely type, and he didn't have many friends in this Sunny Town.

But this was not enough to resolve Emilia's doubts.

"Then why did you give the credit to me instead of others?" Emilia asked again.

"This is the second question."

Emilia choked again.

(Isn’t Benning too difficult to get along with?)

"Mr. Banning, I am troubled by this undeserved credit. I would like to ask you to at least clarify it for me."

Emilia didn't care about anything else. She had to express her demands tonight, otherwise she didn't know when she would be able to catch Banning again.

"Isn't it a good thing to have merit? Why is there any trouble with this?"

"You may think that fame and reputation are good things, but I don't think so. I am very troubled."

As they talked, tensions began to rise between Emilia and Benning.

"Mom, sister Emilia and brother Banning are arguing."

"Shh! What do kids know? That's just flirting."

The demihumans nearby were very tactful and stepped back far away.

They ate the food brought by Emilia and Banning, and happily entered the show-watching mode.

Emilia and Banning had an argument, but they had different values ​​and could not reach a consensus.

At this moment, Banning took the initiative to propose a plan.

"Well, I can help you with this, but I can't do it for free."

——(Does this mean you want a reward...?)

Emilia thought about it and felt that as long as the price was reasonable, it was acceptable.

"Your Excellency may name a price."

Emilia didn't realize that she was a little angry at the moment.

If someone helps her to reorganize it, they will find that Emilia had clearly earned some credit for free, but now because she is unwilling to accept it, she has to pay money back. She really lost a lot of money in this "business".

"Name your price... It'd be boring if I just paid... Oh, and I'm thinking about learning how to make potions. Could you buy me some introductory books?"

Surprisingly, the request Banning made was quite standard.

Emilia listened and thought about it, vaguely feeling that she seemed to have lost out?

Although books related to potions are not as expensive as magic books, they are not cheap either.

"Excuse me, who will pay for the books?" Emilia asked.

4.28 - Emilia's "Weakness" (Additional Update)

"Expenses... I don't have much money on hand lately..."

Banning took out the shriveled purse and took a look at it, which gave Emilia a bad feeling.

She was already short of funds, so this guy wouldn't ask for too much, would he?

"How about this? I'll use these two books to cover the cost of the potion book. How about that?"

Banning took out two brand new books from his bag and handed them to Emilia for confirmation.

Emilia saw the chain that bound the two books at a glance. Those were the chains that only magic books could be bound with!

What made Emilia even more excited was that the chains binding the two books were silver!

The silver chains meant that these two books were at least third-level magic books!

(No...that's impossible, right?)

Emilia took the book with slightly trembling hands. The heavy weight and the unique fragrance of the pages made her think for a moment that she was in a dream.

"Third-level Fire Magic: Wall of Flame...Third-level Fire Magic: Pillar of Flame...!"

Emilia felt like she was about to lose consciousness.

Aren’t these two the books she has been longing for for the past two years? !

Besides, these two books together cost 300 silver coins! That's enough to buy dozens of potion books!

"What's wrong, isn't it enough?"

Emilia didn't respond for too long, which made Banning question it.

——(How can it not be enough... This is too much...!)

"No...it's not enough..."

Emilia forced herself to control her restless heart. She told herself to calm down. There is no such thing as a free lunch. There is no such good thing in the world that happens for no reason.

Emilia guessed that there might be something wrong with the books, so she checked them carefully. As a result, she found that these two magic books were not only new books that had not been infused with magic power, but also were preserved extremely well without any problems. It was as if they had just been taken down from the bookstore shelf!

Emilia was almost fainting. How could she be so lucky!

However, Emilia still had a trace of conscience, and she told herself that she could not accept the two books because it would be taking advantage of Banning and she would feel guilty.

"These two books are too valuable. I can't afford them... I'll help you find the pharmacy books. As for the cost, just pay me when you have cash. I'm not well off, so please raise the money as soon as possible."

Emilia almost forced herself to say these words.

But to her surprise, Banning actually insisted on taking advantage of her.

"No, that's too much trouble. Since I've given you these two books, just accept them. If they are worth more than the potion book, I'll ask you for help if I need to buy something in the future."

"No, no, how can I accept this..."

"If you don't accept them, I'll burn these two books. My combat profession isn't a magician, and carrying these two books around is an eyesore."

As Banning said this, he took out the flint, which scared Emilia and she quickly put away the two books.

She has been thinking about these two books for two years!

If she had the money, she would have bought them long ago. How could she just watch them being burned by Banning!

"That's right, wouldn't it have been better if you accepted it earlier?"

Banning chuckled, put away the flint, and prepared to leave.

"Emilia, tomorrow morning, please deliver an introductory book on potions to my place. I'm staying at the hotel across from your quest union. Ask the landlady, and she'll tell you where my room is."

After saying this, Banning walked away in a cool manner.

And Emilia was holding two magic books, feeling completely satisfied.

She felt that her heart was now filled with happiness and could no longer hold anything else.

Even if Banning told her what to do the next morning in an imperative tone, she felt that she could accept it for the time being.

A long-lost satisfied smile appeared on the girl's face.

[Confession death countdown remaining: 3 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Emilia got up early today just to buy the potion book before going to work at the Quest Guild and deliver it to that damn Banning.

Fortunately, potion books are not difficult to buy, and entry-level ones are not expensive, only 1 or 2 silver coins per book.

Emilia quickly picked out a suitable one and hurried to the hotel opposite the Quest Guild.

Before entering the hotel, Emilia noticed that there was another golden little fox on the outer wall of the hotel, and she couldn't help but look at it for a while.

Emilia didn't know when these golden little foxes appeared, but she had been in a bad mood these past few days. It was all thanks to these smiling little foxes that she calmed down and continued to live and work.
