On the wide carriage, He Lila moved to Diqing's side against Steian's cold gaze, and chatted with Diqing:

"When we arrive at the destination, Stein will lead a group of people to the front and I will lead a group to the back. You can walk in the middle with Ke Na and other guides. Just concentrate on walking. Don't look around. The target of the mission is us. You just need to pay attention to our state."

"Don't do anything else, don't run around, don't act on your own."

"do you know?"

He Lila stared at Diqing, waiting for Diqing's reply.

Di glanced at Stein lightly, nodded and replied, "Got it."

He Lila's nagging was not out of concern for the newcomer, but because she was afraid that she would slow her down. Diqing and He Lila had been on missions together before, and because she often acted without authorization, she was often talked about by He Lila.

He Lila used to have a deep prejudice against her, and the two had a quarrel during the mission. Fortunately, after the mission was over, He Lila took the initiative to find Di Qing to apologize, and the two became friends after talking.

Seeing Diqing's ecstasy, He Lila sat up straight and wanted to ask Diqing a few more words to make sure the mission was all right, but she was pulled by Ke Na who was beside her before she could speak.

He Lila turned to look at her partner, wondering, "Kona, what's wrong?"

Ke Na pulled He Lila back to her original seat, and warned in a low voice, "It's nothing, I'm just afraid that the old things will happen again, and you will be beaten for nothing."

It was only then that He Lila realized that she was under the icy gaze from Stein, her body froze, she slowly raised her head and said to Stein, "I'll say whatever I want, just say whatever I want."

Saying that, He Lila wanted to pat Diqing's shoulder, but because of the murderous intent in Steian's eyes, He Lila's outstretched hand finally fell on the back of her head, and she said softly to Di, "Well, Xiao Di, Don't pay too much attention, I'm just kidding."

"Oh, it's fine."

Di waved her hand lightly, she didn't care at all, but she didn't know why He Lila panicked like this.

Until the death stare on her body left, and the frightening sense of oppression disappeared, He Lila breathed a sigh of relief, and fell on Ke Na.

Damn Stein, defending my weaknesses as before.

It's just the short that protects the short...

He Lila looked at Di Qing, who was whispering something to Stein, she seemed to be looking forward to it, her round and bright black eyes shone with fragments of light, she looked like a person.

Thinking of Minola's words, He Lila sighed softly, feeling sorry for the innocent girl in front of her.

Helila regretted that Diqing never waited to see her, and let’s start from the meeting with Minola yesterday. Helila and Kona didn’t leave after bidding farewell to Stein. Instead, they rushed upstairs and kicked Minola away with ease. Pull the office door.

He Lila said angrily: "Mainola! Give me an explanation!"

Mai Nuola, who was at her desk handling official business, jumped up from her chair in fright. Seeing He Lila's angry face, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's you, who am I? Did you see Xiaodi?"

Hearing this name, He Lila's anger turned into confusion: "Xiaodi?"

"Di Astrid, the name of Stein's new guide, it's a coincidence."

Minola said leisurely, poured black tea for the two of them, and asked, "Sit down?"

He Lila sat down and took a sip of black tea before remembering the purpose of her trip, and she was about to continue to make trouble as soon as she slapped the table, but was stopped by Ke Na.

Ke Na forced He Lila down, and asked Magnola, "Don't you think it's not a wise move for Xiao Di to form a partner with Stein?"

"Why not?"

Mainola turned the seat, glanced at the two people opposite, and asked: "Since you have seen Stein, let me ask, how is she doing now?"

The two fell silent.

Stein's current state can be said to be as good as it can be, and her whole face is radiant, which is the best they have seen since Di Qing left.

"But……"

Ke Na frowned and asked a question: "But are you going to let Stein look for emotional sustenance in others?"

"Correct a little."

Minola raised her teacup, with a flash of sadness in her eyes.

"She is not looking for Diqing in Xiaodi, she regards Xiaodi as Diqing."

Cora: "Huh?"

Under the shocked gazes of the two people on the opposite side, Myonola put down her teacup and said slowly: "I didn't make this pairing happen, it was Si Diane's own request."

"She stubbornly said that the flute has returned, no matter what I say, she won't listen."

Ke Na was shocked, no wonder Stein was protecting Xiaodi so much, "Then you really agree..."

"What if you don't agree?"

Mai Nuola spread her hands and looked at the two opposite people helplessly.

"You have also seen Stein's state. It's better than letting her hide in the silent room half dead."

"I just feel sorry for Xiaodi."

He Lila has been in shock since just now, and the tea in her mouth can't be swallowed or swallowed.

Has Stein been crazy to this extent?

This is the question He Lila and Ke Na raised after thinking about it.

He Lila looked at Stein, who looked normal, and couldn't imagine that Stein could do such a thing.

No wonder Si Diane was so reticent when faced with her questioning.

He Lila really wanted to shake Stein's shoulders and ask, "Are you sure you're really sober?"

But Helila couldn't, and didn't dare.

The carriage stopped, and the four jumped out of the carriage. After meeting with the other ten people, a group of people formed the formation that He Lila said before, protected the guides in the middle, and pushed forward into the forest collectively.

As she walked in, Di lightly felt that the temperature around her was getting lower and lower. She rubbed her arms and withdrew her desire to look around.

Is this an S-rank mission?It's scary that the power of a fifth-level monster can affect such a large area.

The unprecedented difficulty of the task made Di Qing a little nervous. There were so many people in this operation, she was worried that she would hold everyone back.

"Don't worry, Stein is here."

Ke Na tugged at Diqing's sleeve, stuffed a candy into Diqing's palm, and whispered comfort.

"Thank you."

Diqing smiled gratefully at Kona and put the candy in her pocket.

When the surrounding temperature dropped to an unbearable level for everyone, everyone dispersed according to the plan, and arranged automatic capture devices around the area. Di followed Stein lightly and installed the device on the grass covered with thin ice.

"Is it that big?"

Diqing couldn't count which device it was. At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was full of orange.

"Well, the territory of the fifth-level monster is very large. The most important thing is not to allow it to go to the periphery, and to ensure the safety of the people."

Sidi An installed the last device, and after explaining softly to Di Qing, she led Di Qing to meet the people who had finished their work.

Everyone in the team pitched tents outside the range and lit a bonfire.

Diqing was beside the fire, warmed by his frozen body, Diqing relaxed his body and looked into the depths of the silent forest.

"looking at what?"

Sidi An handed Diqing the grilled meat skewers, and Diqing regained consciousness after being startled, and took the meat skewers.

Diqing looked into the depths of the dark forest again, and said, "Will it not be disturbed by us?"

"That's fine."

Under the light of the fire, Stein was covered with a layer of warm light, and her blond hair shone brightly.

"There's no need for us to go in and find it."

Stein, who looked calm, was full of self-confidence, and this natural calm based on her strength made Di Qing lose her mind.

After she reunited with Stein, she has seen too many strange appearances of Stein, who is fragile, gentle, and impatient. Now this calm but confident Stein is the appearance of Stein in her memory .

Perhaps, she never knew Steinan.

When Diqing retracted her gaze, there was a sudden shock, Diqing's eyes widened, Steian hugged Diqing, and Diqing leaned against Steian's shoulder, all the shock caused by the sudden earthquake disappeared in her heart.

"Helila! Kona!"

Stein raised her hand and patted the back of Diqing's head to comfort her. She was the captain, so she had to check if there was an accident, so she called He Lila and Ke Na to help her take care of Diqing.

After He Lila and Ke Na came over, Stein rubbed the back of Diqing's head and said softly, "I'll go check on the situation and wait for me to come back."

"it is good."

Di lightly watched Stein's slender back escape into the darkness, walking towards the depths of the dark forest.

"Don't worry, that's Stein."

Steian was not there, and He Lila boldly patted Diqing on the shoulder.

Di turned her head lightly, shook her head and said, "I'm not worried."

"I don't need to look after you, you can do what you want."

"That won't work. I won't be able to explain it when Stein comes back."

He Lila yawned, she suddenly thought of something, approached Diqing, and said directly: "Xiaodi, do you like Steinan?"

"what?"

"me……"

Di Qing was taken aback for a moment, panicked when faced with this question, stammered for a long time and couldn't form a word.

He Lila and Ke Na looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Di Qing's performance could not be more obvious in front of them.

"You better not like her."

After struggling for a long time, He Lila hesitated to speak. She has a straight and irritable personality, but she is very kind and soft-hearted.

The girl in front of her was destined to be hurt in this relationship, and she wanted to help her.

So He Lila stubbornly said under Ke Na's frantic persuasion: "Sdiane can't forget the person she likes, you'd better be mentally prepared."

"..."

Di Qing couldn't speak at all this time, she looked at He Lila in a daze, and her heart was stirred up.

Stein, is there anyone you like?

A huge loss hit, and Diqing fell into a depression visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Ke Na slapped He Lila on the back of the head. He Lila clutched the back of her head in pain and gritted her teeth. Seeing that Diqing was so disappointed, she said strangely: "Don't you know? Steian had a partner before, She loves her partner very much."

He Lila's words instantly repelled the negative emotions in Di Qing's heart, and changed into a greater shock. She widened her eyes, "What?"

If an outsider like Ke Luni said that Stein liked her, she could take it as a rumor that had spread too widely to be distorted.

But it was He Lila who said this.

"I'm sorry, don't be sad, almost everyone knows that Stein has a deep affection for her partner, I thought you knew..."

Under the threat of Ke Na's iron fist, He Lila apologized weakly to Di Qing.

She really didn't expect that someone really didn't know, after all, Diqing's funeral was held so grandly.

"fine."

Di Qing was still in a state of being absent-minded.

He Lila was hit hard by Ke Na again, and Ke Na told her to roll aside to reflect.

Ke Na sat next to Diqing and comforted Diqing softly. Diqing just looked at the burning fire and responded a few times from time to time.

Seeing that her consolation didn't work, Ke Na didn't speak again, and stared at the fire together with Di Qing in a daze.

Di Qing was completely confused.

Why do Helila and Kona think so?Or are they lying to themselves?But there's no reason for that.

Si Di'an and Di Qing are very lonely and have few friends. He Lila and Ke Na are the few close friends of the two.

If they said that Stein likes Diqing...
