Chapter 44
Is she angry with the man she met for the first time? No, she was just angry...what seemed destined to happen later.
At this time, someone hugged her gently from behind.
Without looking back, Milim knew who the other party was. She lowered her head in a rare and low mood and asked in an aggrieved voice.
"Xiao Lin, are you leaving?"
"...Well, probably." Xiaolin touched Milim's head in his arms as before and said softly.
"Can you not leave?"
"Sorry, that shouldn't be possible."
"Why? Isn't it nice here? Everyone in this town is a very nice person. If you want to leave because this is not a human town, I can also take you to the human kingdom, or I can... ....”
"That's not why."
Xiao Lin smiled helplessly, and then hugged the little girl who seemed to be sad in his arms a little tighter.
"Milim, can you tell Xiaolin why you don't want me to leave so much?"
"Because, because..."
Milim didn't know how to explain it at the moment, so she slapped something randomly with her hand as if a child was letting out anger.
Gafan, whose energy in his body has increased a lot: "..."
"Because...I feel something from Xiao Lin that I haven't felt before."
After a moment of silence, Milim finally expressed her feelings.
"I think I encountered a similar situation with Rimuru before, but he is my best and only best friend. This is another feeling. Xiaolin gives me a different feeling."
These words made Xiaolin turn to look at Rimuru aside, and then found that the other person also looked away a little embarrassed by the words, and scratched his slightly red cheeks with his hand.
Then, Xiaolin sighed helplessly.
She seemed to have some idea of Milim's situation, a bit like Kang Na-chan.
"Milim, do you think of me as your mother?"
"No, I feel Xiaolin is more like a father."
Xiao Lin: "..."
It’s really the same situation as Kangna-chan. I’m a woman, okay?
Feeling a little speechless, Xiao Lin gently touched Milim's head again, and then looked at the restored ceiling above with the dead fish eyes behind the glasses frame and thought for a long time.
Finally, Xiao Lin also let out a long sigh.
Were you dragons so in need of love when you were little? Even growing up seems to be a similar situation.
It’s really difficult to handle, but...
Milim, who was depressed, suddenly felt someone put his chin on her head, and then a pair of hands hugged her from behind, hugging her deeply. The familiar and delicious smell was in her nose. lingering before.
"Sorry, Milim, I have to go back because there are still people at home waiting for me."
Xiaolin finally decided to confess her thoughts. She couldn't let go of the two dragons at home who were prone to loneliness.
"And I came here suddenly. Thor must be looking for me urgently now, so I really should go."
"I do not want!"
Upon hearing this, Milim immediately screamed out with a look of grievance on the verge of tears.
She could say goodbye to her best friend Rimuru so easily because she knew where he was and could see him at any time, so she never felt sad about it.
But Xiao Lin's situation is different. She feels that once they break up, they may never see each other again. Obviously they have only been together for such a short time. She also wants to take each other to see many interesting things together. Go eat a lot of different food, and do a lot of happy things with everyone.
But...she felt that she couldn't force the other party.
The tyrant of destruction, the oldest and strongest demon king, hugged an ordinary person who was very special to her. For the first time in her extremely long life, her voice contained some prayer.
"Xiao Lin, can you stay here for a while and then go back?"
"Hey, but I'm in a bit of a hurry..."
Xiaolin's face showed some confusion and distress. She couldn't bear to refuse Milim who begged her like this, but...
She was really worried that if she went back too late, Japan would still be there.
No, she shouldn't think that way, she should have more faith that Thor can control herself...Alma should stop her, right?
And just when Xiaolin was extremely entangled with this situation, a hand suddenly raised weakly.
"Well, there's something I forgot to say."
Gafan, who felt that everyone's eyes were on him, felt the coldness of the floor behind him and the weight of his body, said with a look of despair.
"Xiao Lin, no matter how long you leave your own world, when you go back, the original world will only have passed for one full day, so..."
Gafan looked at Milim, whose face was still stained with tears, but whose beautiful big eyes had brightened up unconsciously, and said weakly.
"If you don't mind, it's okay to stay for a few days and then go back."
At this time, Milim's eyes completely lit up, and then she looked at Xiao Lin expectantly.
"That's it...then it seems I have to disturb you for a few more days." Xiao Lin scratched his cheek, silently looking away, and said a little embarrassed.
"Don't bother! Hey, Xiaolin, Xiaolin!"
After hearing that the other party decided not to leave for the time being, Milim hugged the other party happily and kept calling the other party's name, not knowing what she wanted to express.
"By the way, Milim, you almost hit Gafan just now, so you need to apologize properly."
"Well, okay, just listen to Xiao Lin."
Milim, who had rarely admitted her mistakes in the past, responded simply this time. Then she turned her gaze to Gafan, who was still under her, and patted him gently with her hand.
"I'm sorry just now, Gafan, I was a little out of control... Were you hurt anywhere?"
"It's okay. Didn't you hit me in the end?"
Feeling that the energy stored in his body's cells had increased, Gafan lay on the floor and shook his head carelessly, then unexpectedly pointed at the little face of the child in front of him.
"And remember to wipe the tears on your face...otherwise I'll feel a little awkward."
This unexpected answer made Milim's eyes widen slightly, and then she wiped her face with her slender white arms very simply.
Finally, Milim, who had completely returned to her usual happy smile, patted the other party with her hand again.
"Gafan, you're not that bad after all. I blamed you a little bit. I'm sorry."
Gafan, whose energy in his body increased a lot again: "..."
Gafan, who was still lying on the cold floor and didn't know how to respond, showed an awkward yet polite smile.
By the way...can you two get up off me?
He said, feeling a little numb from the pressure.
At this time, Rimuru, who was completely relieved, squatted next to the "unconscious" Ainz Ooal Gown at some point, and curiously stretched out his slender finger to poke the other person.
"Momonaka, aren't you awake now? Why are you still lying on the ground?"
Ainz Ooal Gown, who couldn't find the time to stand up, said: "..."
So what, Rimuru, can you go away first and stay away from me?
I don't want to see you a little bit now.
Chapter 55: Some changes in mentality
"Ah, so tired."
Not bothering to go to the sofa again, Gafan just sat up from the floor and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Two minutes ago, Milim had already dragged Xiao Lin to play on the street with great enthusiasm. There was only a strange combination of a skeleton, a slime and a human left in the spacious room.
At this time, Gafan felt his right hand being gently held by someone.
"Bring it to me and show it to me."
Rimuru, who was also sitting directly on the floor next to Gafan, used his soft little hands to grab the opponent's big hand that Milim had held tightly before, and carefully pulled it to his eyes for a look.
"It seems that the bones are a bit injured... Gafan, Milim just patted your chest a few times. Are your ribs okay?"
"Um, seems okay? Probably."
"Well, I'll try."
Rimuru thought for a while, and then decided to use his elbow to gently nudge the opponent's side a few times. However, Gafan directly blocked it with his hand with a look of disgust.
"I told you not to hit my waist with your elbows, I'm ticklish here."
"Hehe, I just want to try it." Rimuru smiled cutely, and then the white little hand holding the other person's hand suddenly began to secrete light blue liquid.
That was the complete recovery medicine stored in his body.
"Gafan, you don't seem to be in any serious condition, but I'd better help you with your treatment. This is my special complete recovery medicine. It can perfectly cure injuries and minor physical problems, and it won't leave any traces." Any hidden dangers.”
Rimuru's nice voice was a bit showy, and then he patted Gafan's muscleless arm with a curious look on his face.
"But speaking of Gafan, you seem to be quite weak, but you are surprisingly able to withstand beatings, just like Gobuta."
"...Thank you, I think I was offended." Gafan glanced at Rimuru beside him with a speechless expression, not knowing whether the other party was complimenting himself.
But just as he turned his eyes away, Gafan felt his lips were cold and soft, as if something had been stuffed into them.
"It's not safe to apply it externally. How about taking it orally? How does it taste?"
Rimuru retracted his little hand and asked with a smile as if he had succeeded in mischief.
"...it tastes good."
Gafan, who felt a cooling sensation in his mouth and body, thought about it and commented in a monotone. At the same time, he also tried to repeat the movements of clenching his fist and opening his right hand, and found that the dull pain was no longer there.
Well, he's also a little hungry. Speaking of which, he hasn't had lunch yet today.
I don’t know if I can find someone to have a meal with later.
Ga Fan thought without any ambition.
"That's good...but, Gafan, aren't you angry?"
After Rimuru hesitated for a moment, he still raised his head with his hands clasped in his knees and asked, "After all, I was almost punched in the face by Milim suddenly. It was obviously just the first time you met, and Gafan, you didn't do anything wrong. .....I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my friend."
"It's okay. What else do you want to apologize for?"
Gafan looked down at the other person with some speechlessness in his eyes and said that he was really not used to others apologizing or saying thank you to him, especially to people who looked like children. That would make him feel weird, uh, or say no Excuse me?
It doesn’t matter, that’s what it means anyway.
"As for whether I'm angry or not...well, how should I put it? To be honest, I feel more 'depressed' than this emotion. After all, I was really scared."
Hey, you were almost punched in the face by Milim, were you just frightened?
And why do you feel "depressed"?
Seeing Rimuru's stunned expression, Gafan scratched his cheek, thought for a while, organized his words and replied again: "Probably because he didn't feel any 'killing intention'."
"Killing intent?"
"Yes, Rimuru, I was punched in the head with full force by someone not long ago. Although it was blocked at the time, it was not like this time that the defensive barrier was directly broken, but ..."
"That's when I really felt the 'killing intention' that seemed to be eroding my whole body and tearing me apart completely. That feeling was really uncomfortable."
Unhappy with the reception, his first thought at that time was to try his best to kill the opponent.
That is a person's instinctive reaction after his life is completely threatened.
Gafan added in his heart, but did not say the words out loud. He could not say anything too negative in front of a child, even if the other person just looked like a child.
His face still had a weak and lazy expression.
"So I really didn't pay attention. At most I was shocked. It would be better to say that I didn't seem to understand the atmosphere at the time. I said some low-EQ words in front of the child who was acting coquettishly with someone close to me."
"...Then you just reminded Xiao Lin that he could stay a few more days. Is this also the reason?"
"No, that's because of something else."
Under Rimuru's curious gaze, Gafan glanced away expressionlessly and whispered.
"I'm kind of intolerant of crying children. It looks really awkward... Damn, Rimuru, you hit my waist with your elbow again!"
