All-American Collection

"Hey~ Lian Qi, what are you holding in your hand? It looks interesting." Nai He took the initiative to ask.

As long as you can find the same topic and follow the child's interests to communicate with her, the relationship between the two parties can become better in a short period of time.

If you take a little more food, you can become a good friend who can talk about everything in a short time.

Coincidentally.

In order to have a good relationship with the children at the beginning, I had a lot of snacks left in my hands.

No, maybe it shouldn't be said that it is surplus.

Because these things are completely necessary for Naihe, in order to not know when the demand is possible.

Just after Claire dealt with the corpse and entered the room to find Nai He.

"Your relationship looks pretty good..." Seeing Lianqi Little Lolita, who was already sitting in Nai He's arms, eating a lollipop-like snack while reading a comic strip, Claire felt a little depressed for a while.

She was very unpopular with children, for reasons that even she could not understand.

Obviously I have met Lian Qi many times, but in fact it only means a few words.

What's more true is that these words are basically a polite greeting.

"Alright, have the outside affairs been resolved?" Nai He looked at Claire.

"It's been resolved, but the question now is what should she do?" Claire responded with an embarrassed expression.

Lianqi Xiaoluoli has always been a single-parent family living with her father. Now that her father has died, she will be the only one left in the future.

"I have a solution, leave this to me."

267 Adopt Loli

"It bothers me a lot..." Claire said to Nai He, who had left the Adventurer's Guild together.

"Didn't you agree before?" Nai He looked at Claire, whose face was full of depression.

"That's right, but..." My heart felt even more uncomfortable.

She is still a single woman who has not even found a boyfriend.

She suddenly became the mother of a child for no reason. Although she was just an adopted daughter, it would bring a lot of trouble to the future.

That's right.

What Naihe said was to use money to clear the way, so that she, who had no blood or kinship, became Lianqi Ranchoen's adoptive mother abruptly.

The reason why she agreed to this before was entirely because of Nai He's bewitchment.

If you don't do this, those relatives of Lianqi's little Loli are very likely to divide up everything that belongs to Little Loli because of their young age.

Even after losing everything, Lianqi's little loli still doesn't get the treatment she deserves.

So Claire, who felt that Little Lolita had become a single person with responsibility, agreed to adopt Lianqi Ranchoen after hesitating for a while.

When this little loli grows up, the weapon shop that originally belonged to the little loli and all the property left over will be returned to her.

"Don't worry, I won't mind." Facing Claire who was in depression, Nai He suddenly said.

Claire was stunned for a moment.

"You don't mind, I don't mind." Bai Naihe glanced, and the fox's tail was exposed at the beginning.

However, Claire was not prepared to discuss this issue with Nai He too much.

"Is that guy Keith really able to take care of children?" He actively changed the subject.

"Don't worry, just let him take a look. The one who really takes care of the child is the hired maid, and the professionally trained maid will never be a problem." Nai He didn't have any worries at all.

It's a bit of a pity though.

Originally, it was Nai He's real idea to travel with this little loli.

"The maid is indeed professional, but she suddenly left her father, will Lian Qi feel uncomfortable?" The words were full of worry, and it seemed that she had assumed the role of adoptive mother.

"Wouldn't it be okay to take it with you if you're not worried?" Nai He groaned.

next moment.

"No." The attitude was unusually firm, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation.

She has only one person, and it is enough to protect Naihe alone when traveling and exploring. If you add a child, who should you protect in real danger?

"Okay, okay, I see." Nai He could only choose to shrug.

Next.

Naihe's destination, Lost Forest.

Although Claire didn't really want to go to that kind of place, she chose to lead the way.

Only after setting foot on the road.

"You take self-defense here." Claire took off the short knife from her waist.

Looking at this, it has obviously been used, but it is still very well maintained.

Obviously, this short knife is a weapon that she has always carried with her.

"It doesn't look very good, it's just like a knife in the kitchen." Nai He took out the short knife and said deliberately after looking at it.

The effect was also obvious, and the veins on Claire's forehead jumped immediately.

"Don't give it back to me." He made a **** action.

Then Nai He quickly dodged, and retracted the short knife into the scabbard.

"Although the knife is not very good, it can still be used reluctantly, so I will use it with reluctance."

"This ignorant guy..." was very angry in her heart, and Claire resisted the urge to go up and beat him.

Although that knife looked a little ordinary, it was the sharpest among the weapons she possessed.

Not to mention cutting off the opponent's weapons in battle, but generally as long as it is not a standard heavy armor, this short knife can easily tear the opponent's protective gear.

She gave up such a powerful weapon, but she made up her mind after thinking for a long time.

"I didn't say I would send it to you. After the mission is completed, you must return this short knife to me." Claire stared at the short knife that was placed on her waist by Nai He.

"It is mine in my hands, there is no reason to return it."

"You...you can if you want, but I won't give it to you for free, you have to exchange it for something." Facing Naihe's assertive words, Claire stated her conditions.

It's a big deal to build another one, although the price of the build is a little high.

"Exchange..." Nai He thought about it.

"Okay, what do you think of this? I picked it up on the roadside before." Nai He put a hand behind his back.

Immediately, he took out a sun-knife.

"Huh!!?" ​​Claire was completely stunned.

Where did this knife come from? She was convinced that Nai He didn't have any equipment.

But soon Claire was attracted by the sun blade that Nai He took out.

"You said this was picked up?" Staring at the sun blade in Nai He's hand, his words were full of doubts.

This weapon has lost its original value after leaving the world of Ghost Extermination, and it is no longer of much use to Nai He. It is better to use his own fist.

However, even if it loses its most important role, it can be said to be a good weapon, at least many times better than the weapon that Claire is using now.

"What? Are you dissatisfied? I feel this is a little better than the knife you gave me." Nai He pulled out the sun wheel knife while speaking.

Claire was silent.

Nai He is right, this knife is definitely better than her small knife, and it is not only better, even this big knife can be used as the main weapon.

The only thing to note is that you have to get used to the way you use it, because the blade looks very fragile.

really want.

But I always feel that if it is really exchanged, I will be in a hole again.

After hesitating for a long time, Claire stretched out her hand.

This kind of weapon is a waste in Nai He's hands. It's better to let her use it, so that it can better complete the work of guarding.

"It's just an exchange. If you regret it one day, just ask me to exchange it back." Claire followed her own heart, so at least it wouldn't be considered cheating on him.

On the way after that, Claire simply couldn't put it down with the sun blade she got, so she just wiped it off when she had nothing to do, and even took it with her to bed at night.

For her behavior like this, Nai He, who was ignored because of a knife, has already considered whether to take the knife back.

However, this situation continued until she reached the Lost Forest, and Claire finally recovered.

268 The Lost Forest

"Do you really want to go in?" Claire asked reluctantly at the entrance of the Lost Forest.

"Of course we have to enter, otherwise what are we doing here." Nai He moved on without hesitation.

"Hey~ wait for me, monsters will appear after entering the forest, don't get too far from me." Claire, who immediately followed, looked at Nai He with dissatisfaction.

After the past few days of contact, Claire was really speechless at Nai He's courage.

Even though he could live in a town, this guy insisted on camping in the wild in order to travel, and the camping site he chose was often in a dangerous area where monsters were haunted.

This is simply ignoring monsters and ignoring the horrors of monsters.

Even after being attacked by monsters at night, this person can sleep like a dead person, and he doesn't even look scared at all.

On the other hand, as an escort, I was nervous all day long. Even if I fell asleep at night, I didn't dare to put down my weapon, for fear that if I didn't pay attention, my employer would be taken away by a sudden monster and made dinner.

I had already tried so hard, but I was complained on the way.

Claire now knows more or less why the last guard asked Naihe to increase the employment fee.

This accompanied Nai He on a trip, completely tied his life to the waistband of his trousers, and he didn't know when he would be taken to the pit, and he was directly killed by this guy.

But relative.

This time the employment fee is high, which is a consolation.

"Hey~ don't go to that kind of place! Follow me carefully, and let me lead the way." Claire grabbed Nai He's arm.

I have just entered the forest, and I have to run to a place where the trees are dense. Is it possible that the speed of getting lost is not fast enough?

"Oh~ Does Claire know where the unicorn is?" Nai He asked.

"The devil knows where the unicorn is! Anyway, don't run around for me.

This place can't be used to return to the branches. If you really get lost, it will be over. "A rather stern warning, with a very serious expression on his face.

"I know, I know, I'll just listen to you." Nai He chose to compromise.

Because Claire's other hand has been put into the luggage, holding a rope, this is to tie her rhythm forward.

"It's good to know." The hand holding the rope was released, but Claire was still very vigilant.

Now that he has entered the forest, he may be attacked by monsters at any time.

Especially since it is still a place where it is easy to get lost, so few adventurers are willing to come here, resulting in many more monsters.

"Never leave me three meters away, no...never leave me within two meters.

There is a maximum of two hours, whether we find a unicorn or not, we have to return. "Claire doesn't want to get lost in a forest full of monsters.

"Understood, I understand, it's all up to you." Nai He had no objection at all.

"Then let's go." After readjusting her mentality, Claire continued to lead Naihe to explore in the forest.

It's just that she is very cautious. Every time she advances a certain distance, she will make a mark on the trees, stones, or the road ahead.

Nai He, who had been following behind Claire, was subconsciously attracted by the girl's back, and his eyes kept following the legs that alternated from left to right, as well as the slender waist.

no way.

A little energetic.

When I was in the Ghost Extermination World, I was always accompanied by girls, but after coming here, it can be said that I haven't eaten meat for a few days.

As for Claire's words, Naihe didn't use her intentions yet.
