I really just want to hang out in the magic world.

Nilia listened to the conversation between the two with some confusion in her eyes.

Yunel should be a noble, but Ruan Xiaozhe might not be. Generally speaking, nobles would first report their family name when introducing themselves, and it happened that Nilia had heard of the surname Meijin.

"But he is a student of Azure Dragon Tower..."

"What is he doing?"

"He didn't tell me his family name..."

Neilia looked at Ruan Xiaozhe with confusion on her face.

Yunel looked at Ruan Xiaozhe helplessly. He mentioned the name but not the family, which was not in line with the etiquette between nobles.

"It's really troublesome to have to give the family name every time I introduce myself. If this continues, I will have to start with the name of the head of the family and then talk about where the family territory is. It's too long-winded."

Ruan Xiaozhe held his forehead with his hand, looking helpless.

"Isn't that what nobles do when they get together?"

"..." Yunel's words made Ruan Xiaozhe feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing this, Nilia spoke up vigilantly: "If you want to chat, go somewhere else. Why do you have to come here?"

"Don't mind, don't mind. We came here to ask you if you want to team up together?"

"!?"

Ruan Xiaozhe's words surprised Neilia, which was something she had never expected.

"What are you planning?" Neilia looked at Ruan Xiaozhe with hostility. She never had a good impression of the children of aristocratic families.

It was the same in the north. The nobles who occasionally came to the mountains always said with disdain: "How can people live in a place like this?"

Even if the hunters offered them the best food and beds, they would only complain that they tasted bad and were uncomfortable, or even that such hospitality was an insult to them.

Some patrol members even joked: "Why not pretend to lead them on a mountain trail and then push them off the cliff? No one will know anyway."

Growing up in such an environment, Nilia naturally had no good feelings towards the students of the Azure Dragon Tower.

"Walking alone in such a large area is very disadvantageous if you encounter monsters. We need at least three people."

"Hmph, no need." Nilia refused with a sneer.

Ruan Xiaozhe was not surprised and asked, "Can you tell me why?"

"why?"

"We can also get to know you better based on your reasons for refusing. Well, let me guess."

Ruan Xiaozhe thought for a moment and then spoke:

"You don't think we would use you as bait, or abandon you if you were in danger? That would be a great insult to both of our reputations."

“…That’s not the case.”

Hearing the other party's answer, Ruan Xiaozhe nodded with satisfaction. He didn't believe that Neilia, whom he had chosen, would answer - "Yes, that's it."

"So you think you're enough on your own, right?"

"Exactly..."

"But you don't really think so, do you? Even the most powerful person doesn't know what will happen in the mountains."

"Besides, finding the herbs is only the beginning. You also have to pick them carefully. You heard what the dwarf professor said just now. People who don't know about herbs can easily destroy them when picking them."

"One person's abilities are limited. It's impossible for one person to do all of this alone. You don't look like someone who can't think straight... Well, I really don't know what your reason is."

"Shut up!"

"...Why don't we just go together? I'll join you!"

Nilia turned away angrily.

Ruan Xiaozhe nodded with satisfaction, while Yunail looked at him in surprise.

"What exactly did you learn in the Vadanaz family?"

……

Nilia's steps were brisk and quick, and she was like a skilled hunter as she led the way.

Yunel looked at Ruan Xiaozhe curiously and asked:

"She walked so well, how did you know to find her?"

"Her legs and calves were well-developed, and she had calluses on her hands and between her fingers, the marks of long-term bow-pulling that only experienced hunters would have."

"!"

"...!"

Not only Yunel, but also Nilia who was walking in front heard this and felt a chill down her spine. She didn't expect that he could see through her background through these details!

Originally, she thought that this young man from the noble family was not worth her attention, but this young man named Ruan Xiaozhe seemed not to be underestimated, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"I'm just kidding. Actually, she has the 'Shadow Patrol' emblem hanging around her waist. People who were born there must be very familiar with the mountains."

"..."

Neilia turned her head suddenly and glared at Ruan Xiaozhe.

Yunel asked with a smile:

"Did you hear that?"

"I didn't hear it!"

"Walk slower and cooperate with us. The two of us can't walk as fast as you."

"You should cooperate with me!"

Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't help but say, "Just listen to Yunel, because Yunel is the only one here who can identify the herbs. If he gets tired, we'll have to look for them alone."

"..."

Nilia was speechless again, but her pride prevented her from making excuses.

"Okay then, I'll just walk slower."

"Oh, it's the Shadow Patrol, so smart..." Yunel said.

"Are you laughing at me? Huh?"

Nelya in front stopped and glared at Yunel.

"This is a compliment to you." Yunel was not to be outdone.

Perhaps struck by Yunel's continuous words, Neilia turned her attention to Ruan Xiaozhe.

"You said she can identify the herbs. I will lead the way. What about you? What is your role?"

"What a disaster!" Ruan Xiaozhe was sandwiched between the two girls, completely speechless.

"If I tell her that I'm just a freeloader, she'll definitely be angry, right?"

Ruan Xiaozhe thought so and paused, thinking that there was no need to make her angry.

"My role is to drive away the wild beasts or monsters around!" he said in a loud voice.

"..."

Nilia was speechless again.

The task of driving away monsters when climbing the mountain is very important. Ruan Xiaozhe looks like he is from a knight family. He is tall and strong, and he is the only male in the team.

"Huh? Aren't all the knights in the White Tiger Tower?" At this time, Nilia seemed to suddenly realize something.

"I didn't hear it clearly just now, what's the name of your family?"

"Vodanaz, the Vodanaz family."

"..."

When Neilia heard this, her face changed drastically and she took a few steps back.

Seeing the other party's behavior as if facing a great enemy, Ruan Xiaozhe's little heart was a little hurt.
