Chapter 1037: Holding Hands, Doubts.

"Hiss~~~~~"

Walking out of the gate of the Mages Guild, I shivered inexplicably.

"What?" Jeluka cast a curious look.

"No...it's nothing. I always feel an inexplicable sense of loss in my heart. Am I too worried?"

I lowered my head and murmured, Recently, my extremely sharp seventh sense as a man seems to have some strange phenomena. I don't work well when I should work, and I don't sleep well when I should sleep. Have I finally reached the stage of rebellion?

"I see."

Jeluka began to fumble in the pocket of her maid uniform. How many times do I have to tell her to put less useless things in the inventory, such as small yellow books, and then put the small yellow books in the pocket? All those weird things are stuffed inside. When did you dream of playing the role of a maid? !

"Here, please eat this."

After a while, she handed me a bottle of medicine with no label notes and a suspicious smell all over it.

"There are even medicines for treating the seventh sense. The Dark Continent is really full of wonders!!"

Holding the medicine bottle, I felt deeply shocked, no less than when I saw eight Ultraman fighting with three hundred Spartans led by Spongebob over the Twin Seas about whether the sea water is saltier or sweeter. This important global topic is like a fierce battle.

It's terrible, it's really terrible, the world is about to be corrupted by bad topics.

"Of course. As a world-class personal maid, in order to prevent any possible illness from invading the master, shouldn't she carry a complete set of medicines with her?"

"Oh, that's it. What you said makes sense."

I was shocked again. It turned out that this pornographic maid turned out to be a world-class personal maid. Seriously, is she really not a world-class personal maid?

"By the way, there are even medicines that can cure [beep] incompetence, or turn chaste women who dare to resist His Majesty the Prince into sluts. Your Majesty, which woman have you fallen in love with? Leave it to me, Jeluka, because It’s the first time, so the material fee plus the action fee are discounted. It only costs 998 gold coins to purchase now. With only 998 gold coins, you can pamper any woman. It’s better to take action if you are tempted?!”

A bright light flashed in the corner of Jeluka's eyes, and she introduced in a low voice.

"No...there's no need for those."

I looked at this guy with a twitching expression of disappointment, reaffirmed my previous judgment, and handed back the medicine bottle in my hand, always feeling that eating it would make it more dangerous.

"I wonder how Little Heitan is doing?"

Looking at the sky, it was almost dark. We didn't know how long we had been staying in the Mages Guild. We had no choice but to spend a lot of time asking the elves for the support of mages.

"Yes, my useless father went out looking for a job all day and came back empty-handed."

Jeluka's eyes became very cold, as if she was a wife who really saw the incompetent side of her useless husband.

"No, no, it's the same for you. You said you were going out to pick wild vegetables, but now you have to come back empty-handed?" I put on a proud expression as if you didn't want to stay out of it.

"It doesn't matter to me." Jeluka pursed her lips and smiled sinisterly.

"As for wild vegetables, just go to the market and buy some."

"Hey, hey, how could this be? Didn't you agree not to use other powers?"

I suddenly felt bad. It turned out that there was such a trick. Could it be that this dirty maid had planned it all along? Do you want to leave me, the master, and walk alone on the empty-handed waste line? You bastard! Are you considered a world-class personal maid like this, you bastard! !

"Is this happening? I don't remember making such an agreement with His Highness the Prince who can't even find a job."

Jeluka blinked her beautiful purple eyes, revealing something called cunning, which was still dazzling even in the hazy dusk.

"Oh, is it so?"

She's been treated like a fool by this guy lately, and she's really let her guard down.

"Then I have to thank you for exposing the evil purpose in my mind now."

"Varied……"

It was said slowly and then quickly, while Jeluka was still in a daze and could not react, I quickly grabbed her soft little hand on my cuff tightly with my backhand, and then used the other hand He quickly took out a piece of magic leather belt from the inventory, wrapped it around the two tightly held hands several times, and tied a knot, so that it would not be easy to break free.

Very good, the girl's imprisonment was successful.

I raised my two hands that were tightly tied together by the belt and waved them in front of the stunned Jeluka. I took a big step and walked straight towards the foot of the mine.

"Wait... wait, Your Highness, this is... this is a foul, yes, a foul!!"

Led by my hand, Jeluka, who leaned her upper body forward and walked forward involuntarily, finally came to her senses, puffed out her mouth in dissatisfaction, and stammered.

"Is there such a thing? I don't remember making any agreement not to hold hands with the incompetent maid [who couldn't even find a wild vegetable]."

I wagged the fingers of my other hand proudly, and decided that this evening, I would let this slutty maid experience the meaning of retribution in this world, and I had to hurry up.

Moreover, although I have recently learned that there are actually timid maids in the mainland, I am now completely used to it, or have been exempted from my approach. I am a little disappointed, because in this way, I have lost my original sense of holding a girl in my arms. Deterrence.

But on the other hand, it may not be all bad. For example, holding hands like this now, if it were a month ago, the result of my doing this would probably be that I would be driven into a state of madness due to shyness and timidity, and then in the future. The pornographic maid running wildly on the street was pulled to fly a kite.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Well, this statement seems to be inappropriate. Survive in danger? It seems to be off topic. The most dangerous place is the safest...that’s not true either. In short, that’s the truth. The ancients do not deceive me.

"But...but in this case, if others...others...hold hands like this openly on the street...holding hands, His Highness is indeed an idiot, a pervert, and a beast."

As she spoke, Jeluka seemed to have no choice but to accept this fate. She lowered her head and muttered the last sentence.

"Isn't this how you usually look?" I turned around and looked at her in surprise.

"I... don't remember doing such a thing with an idiot like His Highness the Prince."

Jeluka lowered her head, using the hazy dusk to cover up the faint blush on her pretty face. She seemed to be a little shy, not acting. In just an hour, I was shocked for the third time.

Could it be that... this guy has never realized what a shameful thing he was doing?

"Um...didn't you hold my cuffs or cloak from the beginning and follow me closely?"

"That's that, this is this." Jeluka responded in a low voice.

"..."

Sure enough, this guy really didn't realize how embarrassing her previous behavior on the street was.

"Holding cuffs or holding cloaks, don't you think it's weird for people like this?"

"Is it that weird?"

Jeluka tilted her head and murmured unconsciously, as if she couldn't figure out what was strange about holding the cuffs of the cloak.

I also can't figure out why this guy has no awareness of holding his sleeves and cloak but reacts to the most normal hand holding. The bastard is talking incoherently! !

"Well, for example, which one is weirder, a person who wears his top inside out or a person who wears his top as pants?" I tried to explain it to Jeluka.

"Aren't they all weirdos?" Jeluka was still confused.

"Could it be that one is a weirdo and the other is a pervert?"

"..."

This statement is not incorrect, but it seems that there is no way to convey his meaning to Jeluka.

hateful! What should I say to make Jeluka understand?

I thought for a long time and finally thought of a way.

"For example..." He lowered his voice as hard as he could.

"Normal position or fancy position, which one do you think is more embarrassing?"

"ah!"

Jeluka was deep in thought.

"oh!

Jeluka was stunned.

"Woo!"

Jeluka's face was red and her ears were red, and she lowered her head.

That's right, that's it. Although openly holding hands and holding cuffs and a cloak on the street are actually very embarrassing things, but compared to holding a cloak and cuffs, holding hands is less likely to be regarded as a weirdo by others. That's what I mean.

but……

Is what I just said considered ***?

I looked eastward in silence.

Vilas, Sarah, Linya, little ghost, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Your husband, I, seems to have been influenced by this dirty maid recently, and has become able to blatantly say some pornographic dialogue on the street. Well, even if he really becomes a savior in the future, he may be called [***'s savior] by people and books.

"But let me tell you, you are really not a qualified personal maid. Look, those little hands are so smooth. You must rarely do housework."

After calming down, I realized that I was holding Jeluka's little hand tightly. It felt very good, warm, soft, and smooth. It felt slender and noble. It was more like holding a princess's little hand than a maid's little hand. .

Although Willas's little hand feels the same, it is probably because the little maid is too shy. Every time she holds her hand, she is very shy and nervous. She also unconsciously uses a lot of strength to hold her hand back. , it will give people the illusion of "Ah, it is indeed a small hand that often works, and it is particularly powerful."

This kind of illusion is even worse when doing it on the bed, ahem...Sorry, I got carried away! !

The topic seems to be getting wider and wider. In short, because Jeluka is surprisingly silent, half of the purpose of my saying this is to find something to do, to talk about random topics, and to be prepared to be bitten. Of course, Don’t get me wrong, I’m not actually a M. I just look a little bit similar in appearance and sometimes in my behavior. At most, I’m just like the one I would suffer when attacked.

"..."

"..."

Silence silence.

Hey, hey, say something, don't be silent, isn't it in vain that I found such a good topic to complain about? !

Jeluka lowered her head unexpectedly and said nothing, which made me panic and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

I...I said, why are you blushing so hard, you blushing so hard, you bastard, isn't this just like me praising your beautiful little hands in disguise? You are nothing like your usual self, Jeluka, cheer up! !

I began to panic. My slightly sweaty palms suddenly seemed to feel the pounding heartbeat coming from the other person's hand. It was connected with my own heartbeat. It kept beating violently in my chest, leaving only the sound between my eardrums. There was a thumping, thumping sound, and it was hard to tell whose heartbeat was thumping.

Sure enough, something was wrong. Did you press some strange button? What's going on with this atmosphere now? Doesn't this become the setting of "a pair of stupid newlyweds who want to show off their sweet love to the world and openly hold hands on the street, but suddenly get scared and can only walk with red faces and lowered heads"? ! !

For the first time in my life, I began to miss Jeluka’s dirty attributes. Sure enough, no matter how bad the attributes are, it’s best to maintain your own style.

In this awkward atmosphere, we finally returned to the foot of the mine, and I quickly untied the belt that tied each other's hands. I just hesitated a little bit when I let go. I swear, it was really only a little bit. .

"Woo~~~"

This is the cry of a stupid mother who has arrived at home but dare not go home.

"It's all because of His Royal Highness that I have become an incompetent mother."

Jeluka looked over with a complaining look, and at the same time announced that she had finally changed back to her original self.

"God once said that when I go to hell, you have to go with me." I puffed up my chest triumphantly.

"God never said such outrageous words." Jeluka puffed her mouth angrily.

"Remember, the first and only words God said when he came to this world were: The contraceptive pill is the greatest invention in history."

"I think your statement makes God feel more innocent."

The sound of footsteps not far away caused us to stop arguing and rush into the house. We quickly put out cups and filled them with water. We sat upright and pretended to drink water as if nothing had happened.

"Dad...Mom...I...I'm back..."

After a while, footsteps came to the door, and we quickly turned around. At the same time, we heard the tired voice of Xiao Heitan. Even the originally tender, crisp, and pleasant voice was also broken by thirst. Becomes hoarse and choppy.

From the night outside, Xiao Heitan came in dragging his weak and heavy body, which surprised us.

His face was dirty and thin, almost as dark as the night outside. His long, clean mercury hair had turned into dark gray. His simple clothes left obvious drag marks. From his squinting eyes, He cast a weak look, retracted his little hands into his cuffs, and walked in timidly.

"Xiao Heitan, you..."

The two of us stood up suddenly, startling Xiao Heitan, who was already timid, and almost wanted to turn around and run away.

"Yes... I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, today... I only made a little bit today... because... because my clothes and hair... were washed... I was a little concerned... I didn't want to get them dirty... I didn't work hard."

With a cry and stammering words, she tremblingly stretched out the two small hands that were retracted into her sleeves, opened her dirty black fingers covered with carbon shavings, and revealed the three silver coins lying on them.

"I...didn't I let you go and play wherever you wanted? Why are you still doing this!!"

I suppressed my distressed and almost angry voice, and lowered my voice and asked, but such a voice with faint anger seemed to make Xiao Heitan keenly aware of it. She took a few steps back in fear, and her figure faintly disappeared outside. In the night, with his head lowered and his eyes closed, he couldn't say a word. His thin body was shaking violently as if exposed in a snowstorm.

Then, this thin and helpless body was embraced by a warm embrace.

"Sorry, dad didn't make it clear. Dad shouldn't have yelled. Can Xiao Heitan forgive dad?"

He held Xiao Heitan tightly in his arms. It was light, really light, just like holding a baby. It was so light that one's eyes couldn't help but feel sad.

"No...no, it's me..."

"Don't talk and have a good rest."

I couldn't refuse and said, carrying Xiao Heitan into the house, sitting down, still holding her on my lap, like a bird eager to protect its chicks, holding her tightly in my arms.

"Dad... don't... don't hug me so... so tightly... it will... stain your clothes."

Being hugged tightly, Xiao Heitan's vision was so narrow that he could only see his father's simple but clean mind up close. Thinking that he was dressed in black, he couldn't help but whisper nervously.

When I lowered my head and saw the dirty appearance of little Heitan, and then looked at my clean clothes, I wished I could give myself a slap in the face, then jump into the ink vat and dye myself black. What kind of father is this? It’s a shame for myself. He often thinks of himself as a daddy, but he can't even...can't even take care of a child! !

"It's okay, it won't happen. My little Heitan is the cleanest in the world."

I murmured, lifting Xiao Heitan's head from my arms and kissing her face covered in coal ash.

"Pour a glass of water for Xiao Heitan, and hurry up and make something to eat!"

I shouted to Jeluka who was still watching this scene blankly. She nodded subconsciously and quickly started to work.

She was too concerned about Xiao Heitan, and when she saw this situation, she was so shocked that she couldn't react for a moment. For her who often regarded herself as the leader of elf intelligence, this was a serious dereliction of duty.

However, I can understand her feelings. When she first saw Xiao Heitan come in, her mind was almost blank. Why was this? Why does Xiao Heitan work so hard? This doubt is deeply buried in our hearts...
