“Swish! Swish! Swish!!”

The sky was filled with swords, almost blocking all vision, and in the reflection of Alice's eyes, they were getting closer and closer...

She reacted suddenly, closed her eyes, put her hands together and chanted a spell.

Holy Light Protection!

"Shua——!!"

The next moment, a golden light flashed before her eyes, shining through her tightly closed eyelids, startling her.

The target of her holy light protection was not herself...why did the effect of protection flash before her eyes?

Alice seemed to have thought of something, and was suddenly startled, and opened her eyes in panic.

I saw a figure with golden light flying towards me, and I don't know when Hill blocked her way...

“Dang! Bang!”

The person in front of me deflected a flying dagger with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to firmly grasp the hilt of another flying long knife, holding the sword and the knife in front of her. Is this... still the introverted girl from a few days ago?

Alice was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.

The next moment, Fina also followed. She knew that Knimu had made a big fuss. As the leader, she had to make sure no one lost a leg or a life because of her....

Fortunately, the priest cast his protection spell on Hill first, otherwise, he would have been pierced into a sieve the moment that guy pounced on him.

With the help of the protection spell, Hill's attributes were finally able to barely resist the sword in the metal storm.

The three of them quickly followed and got out of the ice wall...

"........."

"laugh!"

People looked at each other in silence for a moment, until Hill silently pulled out the dagger from his shoulder, which allowed Alice to react.

"Hill!" She quickly cast a healing spell on Hill, then searched for the potion on her waist, and asked worriedly, "How do you feel?"

"....Ahem..." Hill didn't answer. He glanced at Fina, who looked a little playful, coughed, and looked at Alice: "Sister Alice, why...are you here?"

"Ah..." Alice was stunned, and then she explained: "Didn't I tell you that Mr. Brown came to the church and told me that you had a fight with someone in the pub. I was a little worried, so I wanted to come and see you..."

"After all...if you were bullied, it would make me very uneasy..." Alice said with a smile. Her sincerity and even a little embarrassment made Hill feel very upset.

She didn't understand why Alice could say these words so confidently, but for her, it was really unbearable.

But Hill knew in his heart that Alice treated everyone the same and loved everyone selflessly, so Hill never dared to think too much.

But thoughts cannot be forced, Hill's face could not help but blush, and he turned his head away: "I'm fine..."

"Well, I'm glad you're okay," Alice nodded, still smiling. Suddenly she thought of something, walked forward happily, and took the initiative to hold Hill's hand: "Also, I want to thank you."

"The goddess of love told me something.... You have always been right..." She thanked Hill sincerely: "So... I shouldn't have said those words to you, I'm sorry, and here's the thank you gift, take it..."

"it does not matter,"

Hill shook her head and pushed back the thank-you gift that Alice handed over. She knew in her heart that this was probably prepared by Alice herself. After all, she had already received the reward once before: "Sister Alice, keep it for yourself. I told you not to always give your things to others..."

"Hmm..." Alice didn't force it, but just nodded, was silent for a moment, let go of Hill's hand, lowered her head and thought for a long time, and suddenly looked up.

There seemed to be some uneasiness in her expression, an unsure emotion, perhaps tentative, or nervous. She looked at Hill and finally said: "So...if you want to come back, I..."

"Hey! The meeting has started! Are you done talking?" Suddenly, Knimu jumped out of the tavern at some point, put her arm around Hill's shoulder, and asked curiously.

"........."

The conversation was suddenly interrupted, followed by an awkward silence and the two people's gazes shifting.

"....How was my performance?" After a slight pause, Hill turned his head and asked curiously.

"Hehe..." Knimu smiled mysteriously and did not answer. Instead, he glanced at the messy tavern and scratched his head: "The leader wants me to ask you if you know the exact location of the voice that summons you. Mark it on the map later..."

"Of course." Hill nodded.

"Also, our victory or defeat has not yet been decided!"

"You haven't figured it out yet? Didn't the captain teach you a lesson?"

"Hehe~ Lesson learned..."

As they talked, they walked towards the pub step by step. When they stood at the door, Hilton paused, finally looked back at Alice reluctantly, and walked through the door...

"........"

Alice stared at Hill as he left. She was silent for a long time and unconsciously clenched her fists. She didn't even know why she suddenly felt a little lost. She turned around sadly and walked towards the church...

........

"Squeak..."

When he entered the tavern again, there was no intact thing inside except the members of Free Heart. There were scratches everywhere and swords as weak as the wooden boards on the walls.

"Yo~" Seeing Hill and Knimu coming in, everyone immediately whistled jokingly, and even Fina had a hint of teasing in her eyes.

After all, in their eyes, Hill was still a "ruthless character" who could not be judged by appearance. He had a blank expression from beginning to end, and did not say a word even when the knife was stuck in his body. He was a typical ruthless person who didn't talk much, which surprised them again and again.

But now... it's like a gangster who claims to be a tough guy outside, but suddenly gets a call from his mother, who calls him by his nickname and tells him to put on a sweater and eat well. He has to answer awkwardly. How embarrassing it is...

"I'm not interested in introducing my past," Hill glanced at the gossipy eyes that were gradually rising in everyone's eyes, and immediately took the initiative and said in a cold voice: "If I have proved my value, can we talk about cooperation?"

"But from what I see, you don't just want to talk about 'cooperation'..."

Fina raised her eyebrows, and under the gaze of the team members, she spoke slowly, even emphasizing the word "cooperation" on purpose.

"For now," Hill thought for a moment and spread his hands, "I just want to cooperate with you, that's all."

"........."

"Hmph." Fina was silent for a while, narrowed her eyes, and suddenly snorted.

She understood what Hill meant by that. I have proven my worth. What about you? If you want to recruit me, you better do more!

However, Hill's answer also verified her guess. If she wanted to prove that she would not be a drag, she definitely did not need to demonstrate her abilities so hard. So this was definitely not as simple as just wanting to cooperate with them!

That is to say....

Fina looked at the person in front of her with indescribable surprise. This person had been planning to join them ever since he started sparring with Knimu!

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to be so scheming?

She couldn't figure it out...

"Perhaps we should focus on the problems that need to be solved right now..." Suddenly, Hill spoke again, his voice floating faintly.

Fina suddenly raised her eyes, only to see the other person staring at her closely. She said calmly, "The future can be left to us to decide, right?"
