Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 27 Knee Pillow
Melina actually didn't think there was anything wrong. She and Bai Shi were just in a business relationship.

"Snapped."

Several hairs were ripped out.

He has his own life and his own mission to find.

"Snapped."

A few more hairs were pulled out.

Yes, what this guy does has nothing to do with me.

But I'm a little unhappy because my seat is gone, so I have to float here by myself.

"Snapped."

You clearly said you wanted to protect me, but who are you protecting?

Another tuft of hair was pulled out.

Torrett couldn't help it and rubbed Melina's face with tears in his eyes.

"Hmm? Torrett, why do you have a bald spot here? Were you injured just now?"

The journey was short and we soon arrived at the campfire.

After putting Irena down, Bai Shi prepared to go to bed. He had been busy for a long time today.

Although Bai Shi can stay energetic at any time with the blessing, he still wants to maintain the habit of sleeping.

Bai Shi was just about to lie down, but suddenly he remembered that there was green grass all over this place, so it would be okay for him to fall asleep.

However, as the city lord's beloved daughter, Irena has been taken care of by servants since childhood and may not be able to adapt.

I let her lean on me just now. Although the hem of her clothes was still a little dirty, it was better than lying directly on the ground with mud on her hair and face.

Bai Shi thought about it and said to Irena:
"Irena, is it okay for you to just lie on the ground when you go to sleep? If not, you can just sleep leaning on me."

Although Irena wanted to continue leaning on him, she couldn't cause any more trouble for Bai Shi, so she finally maintained her reservedness as a "princess".

"It's okay. I'm not a spoiled little girl. Although I can't see, I've loved running around since I was a kid. I've fallen a lot, and it's common for me to be covered in dirt."

"Besides, I have slept all the way. Please don't worry about me and have a good rest."

Seeing that Irena really didn't seem to mind, Bai Shi didn't say much. He was indeed tired.

"Will you sleep?"

"Well, yes, I'm a little tired today. I'll take you back to Moren City early tomorrow morning, don't worry."

Bai Shi thought that Irena was eager to return to Moren City.

Irena knew that Bai Shi had misunderstood what she said, and she waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."

"I mean, would you like to try to put your head on my lap? Just use it as a pillow."

"This is what one of my servants once told me. She said that doing this can make the other person happy and relaxed. I rested my head on her legs and it was indeed very relaxing."

"I have received so much care from you along the way, and I want to repay you for your kindness. I can't help you in the battle, and I will be a hindrance, but at least for now, please let me do something within my ability for you."

Bai Shi felt that tears of emotion were about to flow out. Although he didn't know who the maid was, Bai Shi just wanted to give her a thumbs up.

Thank you, unknown maid.

If you live, I will become your brother. If you die, I will kill all the hybrids to avenge you.

"really?"

"Well, of course, as long as you don't mind."

Bai Shi suppressed his excitement, he never thought that one day he would be able to enjoy the lap of a beautiful girl. It was like a dream.

"Um, so what should I do?"

Bai Shi really didn't know what to do.

Irena knelt down and patted her thigh.

"Please lie on it like a pillow."

Bai Shi took off his helmet and lay down on it stiffly. He was so nervous. It was the first time for him to have such close contact with a girl.

And there was always a sense of guilt in my heart for deceiving an innocent girl. But the moment I lay down, all these feelings disappeared, and Bai Shi felt that the world had never been so beautiful.

Bai Shi looked up at the sky and saw Irena's pretty face and her slender figure wrapped in a long robe from a strange perspective he had never experienced before...

Bai Shi shyly turned his head away, not daring to look anymore.

But he couldn't help but secretly glance at Irena's face out of the corner of his eye. Looking at that innocent face filled with smile, Bai Shi's sense of guilt became even stronger.

Bai Shi closed his eyes, not daring to let his imagination run wild.

'She is a simple girl, she is not sensible, how can I not be sensible? Go to sleep well.'

"Ah, I was so carried away just now that I shouldn't have agreed."

In his previous life, he was almost 30 years old, but Irena was still a young girl.

Although I have never been in a relationship, I must remain calm and not make any mistakes. This is the responsibility of an adult!
Without hearing Torret's constant humming, Bai Shi lay on his soft thighs and soon fell asleep.

Irena knelt quietly. It had been a long time and her legs were sore, but she didn't say a word.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the merchant from the wandering tribe led the skinny donkey back to the campfire.

"Oh, little girl, aren't you cold?"

Although Irena was still sleeping when Bai Shi and the wandering trader were negotiating around a fire, she heard the wandering trader's voice when Bai Shi was fighting just now, so she knew that the wandering trader should be friendly.

"It's not cold. The weather tonight is not too bad, and we're roasting by the fire."

Irena spoke softly for fear of waking up Bai Shishi.

"You're wearing so little, yet you say you're not cold or anything like that. So, it's weird to be afraid of bothering others."

The wandering merchant has been traveling for so many years and has seen a lot. He saw through Irena's little thoughts at a glance. Even if the fire is warm, the cold wind on the back will still make you cold.

Irena felt a little embarrassed when her lie was exposed, and suddenly she felt something was covered on her body.

"This is a shawl made of wolf skin. It is very warm."

It was taken out of the bag by the wandering merchant.

Irena touched the soft fur and it seemed to be very warm indeed.

"Thank you. How many runes please?"

The wandering trader waved his hand, then suddenly realized that she couldn't see, so he spoke:
"No need to pay. Thanks to you guys, I made a lot of money tonight. This is a gift."

"But……"

"Ah, that's why I hate you little fellas who are afraid of bothering others. Just accept it honestly. When you are wandering outside, it's normal to benefit each other."

Irena couldn't refuse anymore, so she thanked him again and accepted it silently.

"Can you describe to me what kind of person this person is who is sleeping?"

Irena asked the wandering merchant.

"Oh? Aren't you two together? How come you don't know each other?"

Irena nodded.

"He is my savior, who agreed to my impolite request, is as reliable as my father, gives me peace of mind, and always cares about me."

"And I don't even know what he looks like. It's really rude to treat my benefactor like this."

"So even if it's what other people say, I want to remember what he looked like."

The wandering merchant satisfied his curiosity and began to describe it to Irena:

"This guy on your lap is a young and handsome fader."

"When they were fighting, they were obviously extremely brutal, chopping off all kinds of limbs everywhere."

"But they are willing to spend runes just to hang out by a bonfire, and will even help you fight a large group of enemies."

"I think he is a kind and noble man who holds the sword to protect something."

Irena listened quietly, her soft white hands gently touching Bai Shi's face, as if she wanted to engrave it in her heart.

　I am here to shamelessly ask for recommendation votes again ('')
