Reborn NPC: I'm really not the protagonist!

The candlelight flickered, the whole tavern was dyed with orange warmth, the fragrant food whetted one's appetite, but at this moment, it was unusually quiet...

The laughter and joy just now suddenly disappeared. The mercenaries silently looked at the two women with eyes narrowed into crescents and smiling faces like flowers, and swallowed their saliva.

Why...something seems to be wrong...

Even these big and strong men in normal times noticed that something was wrong.

The reason is that as a mercenary, he might be careless in other aspects, but he is extremely sensitive to danger.

What's more... didn't you see that Hill, who was showing off his chicken legs just now, has quietly slipped away?

After two months of getting along with Hill, the mercenaries were amazed at her growth rate and confirmed one very important thing! Hill must have her reasons for doing this!

So they also stopped and watched the situation...

"Eh? Why don't you eat it? Then... can I eat this fiery crab?" Only one person looked at his companions in confusion and pointed at the last big crab on the table...

"Eat, eat," Mumu responded immediately, looking over with a smile: "Originally, I invited Hill's friends to eat together. Ah, Miss Alice, come quickly, you can also enjoy it."

"Ah... Thank you for your kindness..." Alice subconsciously declined and thanked him sincerely, but suddenly remembered that she was still competing with the other party, so after a long pause, she mustered up her energy and said, "It's so late now, aren't you going to rest? The Chosen One also needs to return to the Land of Nothingness to sleep, right?"

"Thank you for your trouble. The Chosen One can also rest in this world," Mumu smiled and waved his hand, then turned his head gently and looked at Hill: "This way... we can be closer to this world..."

"Well!!"

Alice's cheeks puffed up again, and she couldn't help but glance at the moonflower on the dining chair, and even her eyes turned red with grievance.

She felt uneasy but also wanted to laugh because she suddenly became like the little girl, simply getting angry because she didn't want to admit defeat.

"But, but after all, I'm still closer!" She held it in for a long time, even her face turned red, but in the end, she could only murmur in such a childish way.

To round it off, this statement is almost the same as a child saying "I don't want to play with you anymore."

"Pfft~"

However, compared to Alice's angry mentality, Mumu never regarded Alice as an enemy from the beginning to the end, so naturally he didn't care.

But seeing the girl's reaction, she felt a little happy again, so she smiled and looked towards the corner: "Is that so? Hill?"

"........."

After hearing this, Alice fell silent. She immediately raised her head and stared at Hill with a stubborn look on her face.

"........."

Hill had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes twitched silently.

What is coming will eventually come. She looked at the two people staring at her, feeling powerless.

How to answer this?

"In terms of straight-line distance... Mumu is closer..."

She thought for a long time, then spoke softly with a slightly trembling voice.

"Really?"

After hearing Hill's answer, Mumu was delighted.

She thought Hill would help Alice without thinking! It seems that her help and companionship over the past two days has really worked!

But for some reason, although her mind told her that Hill might be closer to Alice, she had an invisible self-confidence, which was the main reason that pushed her to play tricks on Alice.

That's right, it was just a joke. As someone who has been in celebrity circles for many years, she was able to observe from just a few words at the beginning that Alice was a simple and good child.

But... when she thought that this girl might be her future... uh... daughter-in-law? And she was still bickering with her, she felt that it was time to show her what it meant to be old and wise!

"That's not what we're asking!"

Compared to the calm Mumu, Alice on the side was almost crying in anxiety and stomped her feet on the spot.

"But!" Seeing Alice's face puffed up with anger, Hill's back trembled, and he immediately added the next sentence: "If you both fall into the water, I will save Alice first..."

After all, the Chosen One can be resurrected in the game...

She thought silently, while cautiously glancing at the expressions of the two men.

"Really? Really...?" Alice seemed very uneasy and looked at Hill with some grievance.

Mumu smiled and gave Hill a thumbs up: "It's okay, I can swim, I won't be a burden to Hill!"

"Yeah," Xier nodded gently, lowered his eyes for a moment, and looked at Mumu: "Then am I a burden to you?"

"!?" Mumu was stunned, his pupils suddenly widened and he was dazed.

"That's it..." Hill thought to himself that it was not good, and quickly said: "Look at how you prepare food every day..."

She really wanted to know this question. As she was talking, she couldn't help but raised her eyes carefully: "Tired...?"

Mumu looked at Hill in a daze. It seemed that for a moment, the person in front of him and the departing figure completely overlapped.

Ridiculous...too ridiculous, she even suspected that her daughter was asking her the same question.

"Not tired!" She shook her head violently, her words seemed to be decisive at this moment: "How could you be a burden to me! I never, never thought of it this way!"

"...I understand." Hill was silent, nodded slowly, and after a long while, he smiled: "Thank you."

"Please let me take care of you all the time."

"....don't want."

"why?"

"........"

Alice was stunned and dazed as she watched the two people suddenly start chatting among themselves.

She had never seen Hill smile so...purely.

Yes! She suddenly remembered why Hill made people feel so unique, even mysterious and approachable.

Because she...is so young, yet so mature and lonely.

This kind of temperament is totally not what a person of this age should show.

Joining mercenaries, converting to a powerful god, and using force to solve problems at every turn... In an instant, Alice connected all these behaviors together!

What Hill lacks is an absolute sense of security!

But she can't find this sense of security in herself... Because she is a priest in a small town, she can't just care about one person...

Alice felt disappointed as she finally guessed the answer in a sense, but even if she thought of it, she couldn't change anything.

But...why, I still don't want to leave?

No, as a believer of the goddess of love, this is the right way to think, and...

It turns out that it’s best if Hill is closest to me!

"Hill!" Without anyone noticing, she clenched her fists and shouted.

At once, everyone looked over.

"I will always take care of you!" Alice closed her eyes nervously and said loudly, "I also want to always, always take care of you!"

"............" Looking at the members who were all joking around, Hill's face turned red and his eyebrows raised: "I've already said that I don't need anyone to take care of me..."

She is not a child anymore, and her brothers are here, can she talk to her nicely?

"Ah la~"

However, Mumu didn't hear anything about Hill's thoughts. Seeing Alice's look, he couldn't help but cover his lips with a little surprise, and soon laughed.

"Priest, you are so busy, do you have time to take good care of Ciel~?"

"Don't worry about this!"

"I told you guys I don't need to take care of you!"

Suddenly, Mumu and Alice started to confront each other again...

"Hill! What do you think?"

"Hill?"

"........."

As the fight went on, the firepower came to Hill's side again.

Hill looked at the two of them speechlessly.

What do I think? Can I just go in the middle? Really...

"Hey, you guys, don't you see that Hill is troubled?"

Just then, a cold hum came from upstairs.

In Hill's eyes, Fina was like a glowing hero, walking down the stairs step by step, looking at the two of them coldly: "Besides, she is a mercenary of our Free Heart, put away your thoughts!"

Her tolerance for these two people has reached its limit.

In Fina's opinion, Alice and Mumu are not good people. One wants to take Hill back to the church, and the other... although he is now nominally a member of the mercenary group, he just follows Hill around all day long. Rather than being a member of the group, he is more like a personal servant.

Maybe this guy also wants to kidnap Hill!

This is not possible!

She had to hold on to such a rare talent!

So she left the scene quickly, and as expected, the number of people arguing increased from two to three.

"I'll take care of Hill, since the priest is so busy anyway~"

"I, I can find the time!"

"I've already told you that Hill is a member of my group and he won't go with you!"

"Eh? What are you guys fighting over? Hill? I want to play too!"

"........."

Hill watched this scene silently and closed his eyes dejectedly.

"Humph~ a bunch of idiots~"

However, the next moment, a proud and delicate snort came from my ear: "Sister Xier has been mine for a long time! You don't even know this!"

"........."

Destroy it, really.
