As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

The hostess smiled brightly: "Congratulations to this guest, it took a full three minutes!"

"You two have been the longest-lasting performers in this year's event. That's impressive!"

The two almost fainted on the spot.

Roy felt that this result was too shameful, and Nia was distressed that she could not drink the Scarlet Tears.

It turns out that all my efforts have been in vain!

But at this moment, the host lady applauded them.

"So, congratulations to the two people with the longest time for receiving a special reward! The Scarlet Tears Extra Large Cup!"

"Huh? Doesn't it mean that the shortest possible time is better?" Roy was a little puzzled.

The host said meaningfully: "Haha, short has its advantages, long has its wonders."

In fact, she is the manager of this coffee shop and also the planner of this event.

The real purpose of this event is to satisfy her selfish desire to ship a couple.

The reason why the rule is set to the shortest time is that we want to see young couples kiss passionately and sweetly in the shortest time possible.

Those who came to participate in this kind of activity were all couples in love. They were very familiar with kissing each other, and the store manager was not disappointed.

But Roy and Nia taught her a good lesson.

The two of them are obviously inexperienced and may not have even kissed before, which is why there is that kind of sweet and sour ambiguity, especially when Nia closes her eyes at the end, she looks like a sweet girl being manipulated by her boyfriend!

The store manager was reminded of his first love and exclaimed, "I love it."

In fact, not only the store manager, but also the customers in the audience cast warm glances at the two of them. The atmosphere in the store was even more lively than before.

The store manager kindly presented the two of them with their spoils. "I'm sure you two have only just met. Please be happy."

Roy and Nia received their spoils amid the laughter and applause in the store, and retreated to the corner where they had been sitting, looking a little embarrassed.

There was a slight blush on both of their faces, and they deliberately avoided looking at each other.

This game was really too exciting for them.

Fortunately, after leaving the lively stage in the store, the atmosphere between them gradually cooled down.

Roy was the first to recover. He coughed dryly twice and spoke in his usual leisurely tone, half complaining and half teasing: "Weren't you so brave just now? How did you become so dull in the end?"

Nia puffed up her mouth slightly, like a squirrel with a nut in its mouth.

This guy has the nerve to ask!

"How can I possibly calm down when you're looking at me like that?"

"what?"

Seeing the boy turning around with a look of surprise, Nia realized that she had accidentally spoken the truth and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Noticing that the atmosphere had cooled down and was becoming ambiguous again, Roy changed the subject somewhat abruptly.

"By the way, don't you want to drink this? Come and try it."

"Yes."

Nia pretended nothing happened and looked excitedly at the Scarlet Tears on the table.

Scarlet Tears is a carbonated sparkling water made from strawberry and guava. It is scarlet as blood and appears crystal clear in the sun, making it extremely beautiful.

The only problem is, there's only one straw.

And this straw is a couple's straw in the shape of a heart.

Nia held the drink, but did not rush to drink it. Instead, she looked up at Roy.

"You don't want to drink?"

"Wait until you finish drinking."

"What are you doing? This is clearly the result of our joint efforts." Nia snorted unhappily.

The drink was pushed to the middle, and Nia smiled: "Come together."

"......Fine."

Unable to refuse the girl's kindness, Roy decided to stay with her until the end.

Besides, compared with the game that was so embarrassing that it made us dig our toes into the ground, drinking a drink is really nothing.

They both leaned over at the same time and held their own straws in their mouths.

Chapter 60 Nia's Idol

As Nia took a sip of the cool, sweet drink, she squinted her eyes in delight. Her dimples slowly emerged, a sweetness that was refreshingly sweet in the clear sunlight.

Looking at the girl's happy smile up close, Roy was stunned for a moment and forgot what to say.

Satisfied, Nia raised her head and found Roy staring at her blankly. She looked a little embarrassed and regained her sense of pride.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and retaliated, "Weren't you very brave when you were eating the cookies just now?"

Roy turned his head away from her and muttered gloomily.

"Looking at you like this, how can I possibly calm down?"

Nia, who had just been proud for two seconds, was silenced again.

Neither of them dared to look at each other, and they just silently and carefully shared the sweet and sour scarlet tears.

After that, they found a random roadside stall to have lunch - or to be more precise, lunch for Nia.

Girls sometimes use the excuse that 'desserts and main meals go into different stomachs', but Roy suspected that this girl really did go into different stomachs for snacks and main meals.

It was afternoon now, and if they wanted to go back before the college closed at night, they had no choice but to visit one more place.

The two held hands and wandered leisurely along with the crowd while discussing their next route.

They didn't even notice it themselves, and before they knew it, holding hands was so natural.

Roy asked knowingly, "Is there anywhere else you want to go?"

The elf girl loves to eat and play, but her favorite thing is adventure.

For Nia, who has dreamed of being an adventurer since childhood, there is only one place she wants to go.

Unexpectedly, Nia shook her head.

"You decide."

"Ugh?"

Nia couldn't help laughing and said, "What's so strange about that? You've accompanied me to so many places, so it should be my turn to accompany you in the end."

Roy looked at the girl in front of him, as if he knew her all over again.

Nia is spontaneous and willful. When she encounters something she likes, her blood boils and she will not give up until she achieves her goal. This can be seen from her running away from home in a fit of rage.

"You actually have such a delicate mind sometimes?"

"Hey, are you looking for trouble?"

Nia's mouth twitched.

Her words were not dazzling, but it was not that she did not want to go to the Adventurer's Guild, but she had her own troubles.

Would Roy like it? Would any boy, really, like a girl who was adventurous?

Since she was a child, her mother taught Nia that taking risks outside is vulgar and that girls should be keen on dancing and music so that they can be liked by boys.

No one would hate a female adventurer covered in mud and blood.

Nia had always scoffed at this idea, but now she didn't want to take the chance of even the slightest possibility of boring Roy.

Today has to be perfect.

"So, where do you want to go? Let me accompany you this time." Nia hid her inner uneasiness and smiled as usual.

Her acting was really good. So good that Roy couldn't see any incongruity.

"Then, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild."

"Huh?" Nia widened her eyes slightly.

"What's so strange about that? I'm a martial and lion-hearted man, and I just like that," Roy said as a matter of course, then asked jokingly, "If you don't want to go, forget it."

The boy did not notice the sensitive and delicate distress.

He just simply wanted to take Nia to where she wanted to go.

"No, no, no! Let me think about it!" Nia shook her head repeatedly and shouted loudly, with a smile on her face brighter than usual.

The Adventurer's Guild was just as lively as the last time Roy came.

However, this time Roy did not show up as the Sword Ghost, so the two students would not attract any attention.

In fact, many students from magic academies come here to collect intelligence, buy supplies, and even work as part-time adventurers. They are the most common faces besides full-time adventurers.

The guild was filled with hideous-looking monster corpses, rare and exotic herbs with a foul odor, and adventurers speaking vulgar language.

Even a martial-minded daughter of the kingdom would frown upon seeing this scene. After all, the kingdom's knights were known for their elegance.

Ordinary girls probably can’t even get through the door.

However, Nia acted as friendly and casual as if she was back home, and couldn't wait to take Roy for a walk.

Obviously, this wasn't her first time at the guild, but no matter how many times she came, she was always excited by the free atmosphere.

After learning that this was Roy's first time in the guild, Nia enthusiastically introduced him where to post commissions, where to sell weapons, various adventurer rules, and so on.

Originally, Roy just wanted to accompany her for a walk, so he deliberately said that it was his first time there. However, he didn't expect that the other party was just like Baidu Science Popularization, and the knowledge he shared was unexpectedly interesting.

It's just that Nia is too enthusiastic. Sometimes she gets too close, causing the soft ball to rub against Roy, which always distracts Roy's attention.

"However, the most worth seeing thing on the first floor is this."

Roy followed Nia's gaze and looked up at the wall in front of him.

A corner of the Adventurer's Guild will forever commemorate those legends.

Perhaps it is a portrait, a dagger, or a broken ring. It is the relics of adventurers and the witness of a legend.

Only adventurers above A rank are qualified to stay on this wall.

As the level goes up, the number of relics becomes fewer and fewer.

Near the top, there hangs an old harp.

Nia was staring at that place, lost in thought.

There was a faint smile on her face, which showed loneliness, longing, and a hint of sadness that was inadvertently revealed.

Roy did not break the girl's rare silence.

He knew that the owner of the harp was Nia's biological father whom she had never met.

【Wind】Ain Violet.

The surnames of the descendants of elves are all flower names, but only those who have truly awakened the [Forest Elves] and successfully advanced to Sequence 7 can be given the surname "Violet" and be respected as royals.

That’s right, the real name of the Emerald Council is the Emerald Empire.

Ain was a favored child of his time and a legendary adventurer who left his mark in many dangerous and secret places.

Everyone believed that this elven prince would lead the descendants of the elves back to glory, and everyone believed that this legendary adventurer would travel to every corner of Viszea.

However, eighteen years ago, he disappeared in an adventure and never returned.

He is both the brightest dream in Nia's heart and the loneliness that can never be filled in Nia's heart.

These are all stories from "Angel Rondo".

However, what Roy couldn't let go of was another cause and effect.

The reason why [Gale] died in the adventure eighteen years ago was all because of Rowling.

Strictly speaking, it was his mother who killed Nia's father.

Nia suddenly murmured, "Actually, I've always had an idol."

The girl lowered her eyes, her tone becoming increasingly gloomy: "If possible, I really want to see him in person."
