Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

·

·

While it was still early, Jiang Ran hired some people to go to the Sangbei Wasteland and transport the body of the rat monster back to Sunny Town.

After selling all these monster materials, the total income is 2 gold coins + 73 silver coins.

Jiang Ran kept one gold coin for himself and handed the rest over to the task guild. The people who killed monsters last night were mainly the reward hunters.

As for the magic cores, Jiang Ran picked them out and fed them all to the Black Sword Flame Horse, allowing it to directly advance to the second level.

After the Black Sword Flame Horse was upgraded, the attributes provided by it increased by 5 points. The original skill "Flame Horse" was upgraded to "Blue Flame Horse", and the corresponding mana consumption increased to 444 points. It is really a big mana consumer.

In addition, the minimum requirement for feeding magic cores has been raised to level two, which means that it will not look at the magic cores of monsters below level 20.

The upgrade of the Black Sword Flame Horse was a good thing, but the terrifying magic consumption of 444 points made Jiang Ran realize that this guy couldn't be upgraded too quickly, otherwise his ability would soon not be able to keep up with it, and it would become a decoration.

Afterwards, Jiang Ran went to the weapon shop and asked the craftsman to research what equipment the 'Corrupted Poison Claws of the Corrupted Rat King' and the 'Magic Core of the Shadow-Eating Rock Demon Svalerok' could be used to make.

The craftsman was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head. He said that he had only seen such top-quality materials a few times in his life. He had to call all the craftsmen in the town to a meeting to discuss the matter before he could give him an answer.

Jiang Ran agreed to give him three days to study, then looked at the time and found that it was already noon, so he set off to Emilia's house to cook.

·

At this time, Jiang Ran didn't realize that he had underestimated the "power" of the fox girl.

5.1 - Emilia's Competitiveness (Part )

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 6

12:07 AM

[Confession death countdown remaining: 30 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Emilia's heart hasn't slowed down since Banning left in the morning.

This feeling of palpitations made her feel uneasy.

——(Why did I... kiss her?)

Recalling the scene of kissing Benning, Emilia still didn't feel it was real.

She even thought it was just an illusion... But the touch on her lips was so real.

If it was just an illusion, Emilia wouldn't be feeling so bad right now...

The feeling of worrying about gains and losses almost drove Emilia crazy.

However, despite the discomfort, Emilia did not feel any pain at all. Instead, there was a faint feeling of excitement and happiness brewing in her heart.

Long before today, but she had forgotten when it started, Emilia would occasionally feel conflicted about the relationship between herself and Benning.

They were just ordinary friends. Emilia had cooked for Benning, and would go to him early every morning to give him potion books and teach him magic.

Although they can be called lovers, the relationship between them has not reached that level yet.

This state of being more than friends but less than lovers always makes Emilia feel overwhelmed inadvertently.

But now there is no problem, because Emilia has kissed him.

Although Emilia hasn't confessed yet, as long as Banning is not stupid, he will definitely understand what that kiss means.

What Emilia has to do next is to follow her mother's teachings to the end.

——"Emilia, when you grow up, if you meet someone you like, you must pursue them bravely."

——"We, the fox people, are a tribe that dares to love and hate~"

·

Emilia felt that Banning must like her.

If he didn't like me, he wouldn't be so nice to me... He even risked his life to save me.

However, the Nassar incident left some shadow on Emilia.

Emilia also considered whether Banning had some plans for her, which was why he was so attentive.

However, Banning was not interested in fame or fortune, and was indifferent to material things. Emilia thought about it for a long time but could not figure out what his plans were.

After thinking about it, Emilia felt ashamed of her own "small-mindedness and judgment of others".

·

Emilia spent the whole morning in a daze and lost in thought.

Watching the sun gradually rise higher, Emilia began to look forward to it.

Banning said he would come again at noon.

Emilia got up quickly. She wanted to make lunch with Banning so that she could show her good side to him.

Furthermore, as a Level 2 "Cook", Emilia had a certain desire to win.

Now, when Emilia thought about having lunch with Banning, she felt that the pain in her body was not so painful, and her whole body was full of energy.

While searching for food, Emilia accidentally discovered a "gift" left by her parents, a bottle of fine cider.

Emilia remembered that her parents had told her that when she met someone she liked, as long as they drank this bottle of wine together, they could live happily together forever.

——"Mom and Dad drank cider together, and then they got together~"

Remembering what her mother had told her, Emilia took out the cider.

She broke open the cork cap and sniffed it briefly. It had a sweet and pleasant smell, so she couldn't help but sniff it a few more times.

As she smelled the cider, Emilia felt a little dizzy. She wondered if the fatigue from last night had not completely subsided. She quickly put the cork back in and placed the cider on the table, fearing that it would be accidentally broken.

·

Soon, Banning came knocking on the door. He saw that Emilia was able to move freely, her mouth slightly open, and a look of slight surprise on her face.

"Don't force yourself. Since I'm here, just let me cook. You sit down and rest."

Banning held Emilia's shoulders and tried to help her sit on the chair, but Emilia insisted on cooking with Banning.

Banning couldn't persuade Emilia, so he asked Emilia to help him.

Although it was the first time for the two to work together, they had a perfect understanding.

Emilia felt that Banning seemed to be able to read her mind. No matter what she wanted to do, Banning could give the best response in the first time.

This scene reminded Emilia of when her parents were still alive, and they often cooked together in such a loving way.

——(Yeah…love and all that…it’s still too early for us…!)

Emilia shook her head vigorously to get rid of these pink thoughts from her mind, otherwise her face would be burned.

At this moment, Emilia just wanted to quietly enjoy the peace and joy in the kitchen.

As for the "chickens pecking at rice" when they parted in the morning, Emilia and Benning tacitly did not mention it.

·

More than ten minutes later, with the cooperation of the two, a simple but delicious lunch was ready.

Emilia suggested tasting the cider, and Banning hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

——(Could it be that Banning is the type who can’t drink?)

Thinking of this, Emilia felt a little excited.

Although Emilia had never drunk alcohol, she knew that the fox people had a good alcohol tolerance. They were born with a strong ability to break down alcohol, and ordinary humans could not drink as much as they did.

If Banning gets drunk, he will have to sleep at Emilia's house first.

The thought of seeing Benning sleeping and defenseless filled Emilia with energy.

——(You always bullied me before, but today it’s my turn to bully you!)

Emilia suppressed her joy and kept a blank expression on her face, fearing that Banning would discover her little plan.

"Mr. Banning, thank you for saving me and everyone in the union."

Emilia had seen the branch chief drink to express his gratitude many times before, so she followed his example, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The first thing Emilia felt was the sweetness of the cider, and then the stimulation of alcohol quickly spread in her throat, which was so hot that Emilia almost shed tears. However, after this stimulation, the mellow aroma of the cider gradually appeared between her lips and teeth, making Emilia unable to help but savor it.

"Well, it's really good wine."

Opposite Emilia, Banning also drank it all in one gulp, but his reaction didn't seem as strong as Emilia's.

Emilia thought that Banning must be enduring this for the sake of face.

"I also received a lot of help from everyone in last night's battle, so I want to thank you too, Emilia."

Banning refilled both of their glasses and then offered Emilia a drink in return.

Emilia was not to be outdone and drank it all in one gulp again.

Then, Emilia remembered nothing.

5.2 - Prepare for a Rainy Day

"Hey, if you can't drink, don't force yourself..."

Looking at Emilia who collapsed on the table just after finishing her second glass, Jiang Ran scratched his hair helplessly.

Jiang Ran's alcohol tolerance was specially trained, and although he seemed to have swallowed the drink in one gulp, he actually divided it into several portions in his mouth and swallowed it in small sips.

On the other hand, since it was Emilia who suggested drinking cider, Jiang Ran assumed from the beginning that she could drink a little.

Then, Jiang Ran saw the statement "Fox people are good at drinking" in her inner thoughts, so he didn't stop her at all, wanting to see how good the fox people's drinking capacity was.

·

As a result, two cups were poured.

·

Getting drunk is not scary.

It's scary to take care of someone who's drunk.

Jiang Ran had seen many drunk people act crazy, so he was particularly touched.

He now only hoped that Emilia was the type who would sleep soundly after getting drunk.

"Ban... Ning... are you drunk... why are you... lying sideways... hahahaha..."

However, Emilia, who was lying on the table, was talking nonsense with her eyes half open.

It's true that what you fear will come true.

Jiang Ran sighed, and while Emilia was still talking nonsense, he quickly ate lunch, packed Emilia's portion and put it in the kitchen, and finally helped Emilia to bed to rest.

However, the drunk Emilia refused to cooperate with Jiang Ran.

As soon as Jiang Ran tried to touch her, she started dancing and yelling.

"You...you don't touch me...ah...Banning...if you want to touch me...you have to...after dinner......"

Emilia was already talking incoherently, and Jiang Ran didn't care what she was saying.
