After just a few seconds, his grainy eyes rolled slightly and he smiled again: "I know, Ariel. You seemed very smart back then. You want me to think that you are opening this guild here.

Is it related to the royal family? Haha, if I didn’t know you, I might be really scared by you. But, I won’t.”

Gu Liduo spread his hands and said with a watchful expression: "There is no majesty, and there is no royal family. Although I am not sure why Miss Ariel, who has such a noble status, is doing such a menial job in a place like this.

, but you don’t have to try to trick me with these tricks anymore.”

Forced into a corner, Ai Luo's face instinctively began to show a smile. He looked at the man in front of him silently, and his hands involuntarily grasped the quilt tighter.

"So... Gu Liduo Reader, can you tell me... who are you? And how do you... know my name?"

Gu Liduo walked slowly to the bed, stretched out his hand, and gently took off the hat on Ai Luo's head. As the long golden hair fell down like a waterfall, Gu Liduo looked at the face of the girl in front of him with admiration.

, with a little nostalgia, he said slowly——

"It's been five years... I haven't seen you for five years. Miss Ariel is really getting more and more beautiful."

In the face of compliments, although the girl forced a smile on her face, her teeth started to chatter involuntarily.

"Actually, I didn't realize that you were Miss Ariel at first. It wasn't until the night I first arrived that I tasted the plate of cheese sauce and the croissant that made me have endless memories."

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After a while, as if he could no longer control the feelings in his heart, he sat on the stool in front of the dressing table, took off the lute from behind, and played gently

Played, and said——

"It's this smell that reminds me of that night five years ago."

"I will never forget everything I experienced that night, and I will never forget how cold the snow was and how strong the wind was that day. I will never forget that I was tired and hungry, and my mind was full of thoughts.

The little bard who thought of leaving his hometown to pursue a career in the capital was about to turn into a corpse hidden in the snowflakes."

His fingers fiddled with the strings a little, playing a piece of slightly sad music——

"I was born in a small rural place, my family was poor, and the only thing I had was my ability to play the lute. In order not to accept my fate, and to live a better life, I left my hometown when I was eighteen years old.

Head to the capital, Hanhai City, hoping to make a lot of money."

"However, I have an unfortunate fate. As a weak person, my life in the capital is really miserable. Not only was my work money defrauded, but even if I tried to make a little money by playing the lute, I would be robbed immediately by others. Everything was taken away by others.

Everything seems to be saying to me... you are not material to make money at all, go back, go back to your small countryside, be a farmer with your face facing the loess and your back to the sky, and live your life quietly!"

"Finally, I reached my limit five years ago."

"I didn't have a single coin, so I was kicked out by my landlord. I had no money, no food, no shelter, no friends, and no warmth at all."

"I was walking alone on the cold streets of Hanhai City. The wind and snow blowing in my face seemed to be taking away the remaining warmth from me, slowly leading me to death."

"I fell. With despair and sadness."

"At that time, I even began to regret why I wanted to run away. I began to regret why I became like this."

"My whole body was filled with pain and despair, and I could even feel my heart slowly condensing into frost in this coldness. I thought I was finished... I thought my life was about to be inspired by God, and gradually... ,leave me……"

"But, at that critical moment!"

As soon as the sound of the piano changed, the melody suddenly changed from the original sadness to a hopeful march!

"Just when I was about to close my eyes and sleep forever, I heard a voice!"

"That is simply the voice of an angel~~ It is the slightly immature voice of a ten-year-old girl, but she embraces infinite beauty."

"I swear, that was the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. The feeling of the cheese sauce and the croissant melting in my mouth, I will never forget it in my life!"

"I was carried to the girl's home, which was a luxurious manor that I had never imagined in my life!"

"My belly was warmed by the food, and my heart was healed by the girl's smile. It was also at that time that I knew the girl's name...that name that was like an angel!"

"Ariel Garcia."

The girl on the bed clenched her teeth slightly, showing a slightly painful look due to the pain.

With a lot of grains, he still smiled and said slowly——

“From that moment on, I swore that since God sent such a beautiful girl to save me when I was in the most painful time, I must do something great, become a master, and earn a lot of money. Lots and lots of money!”

"Therefore, I will never have any complaints. I work hard to practice and strengthen myself. At the same time, I also make myself better and stronger! But no matter how strong I become, I will never forget it. The girl who gave me a side of bread and cheese sauce that night."

"So... when I met you here again, I simply couldn't describe my feelings in words. Ariel, do you understand now?"

The sound of the piano stopped, and his grainy face was filled with emotion and tears. He looked at the girl on the bed, his eyes still showed no respect. However, his expression of gratitude was silent.

The girl raised her hand and held her hair silently. After a long time, she nodded lightly: "So...you are the bard who was lying in front of our mansion...it wasn't you who said that, I I forgot that there is a person like you here..."

Gu Liduo put down the lute and nodded with a smile: "So, now you understand that I will never take any action that is not conducive to the song of the mermaid, right? Maybe my previous behavior was a little tougher, but I will never I will forget your kindness to me, Miss Ariel."

The girl exhaled, cheering up a little, and said slowly: "I understand. So... Grain Duo Speaker, I'm sorry that I was a little wary of you before. I welcome you here again. Our mermaid song..."

Gu Liduo nodded and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I understand. But I am a little unhappy that a girl like you wants to be the guild president. In any case, being the guild president is a very dangerous job.

It requires a lot of time and energy to take care of. These rough jobs are really not suitable for a girl like you."

The girl closed her eyes and said feebly: "It's okay, I understand my situation. Can you go out? It's not a gentleman's behavior to stay in a lady's room for so long."

Although he was told this, Gu Liduo still had no intention of getting up immediately. He still had a smile on his face and his expression was still so calm: "Of course, of course. But since everyone in the guild thinks you

He is a man, so there is no problem for me to stay here for a while. Ariel, you look tired and even sick. Otherwise, let me manage the guild affairs from now on, and you alone

Girls can't work so hard. Women should be protected and understood by gentlemen by nature. From now on, you can cook and settle accounts. Leave the management of the guild to me."

At that moment, the girl's brows tightened slightly.

It was as if she heard something extremely familiar and made her extremely uncomfortable.

But at this moment, the girl still tried her best to remain polite and restrained, and said slowly: "No...it doesn't matter. I just need to take a rest...You'd better go to work with Brad and the others quickly. Guild matters."

I can manage it myself, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

"No, no, no, it depends on what you said. Ariel, it is written in the laws of the empire that women like you cannot be subjected to labor!"

There are so many grains that it seems like a lot of time, so he said lightly——

"Any woman in the Blue Bay Empire should be protected by her husband, father, son, brother, and brother as a matter of course. And any woman's husband, father, son, brother, and brother are naturally obliged to protect the women of their own family.

.”

"At the same time, in order for women to be able to focus on taking care of their children and assisting their husbands at home, our country does not allow women to do business outside. If a family is reduced to the point where a woman needs to be the president of the guild or the boss to make money, that means

The men in this family are so incompetent that they actually need women to make money to support them."

"So, Ariel, it's not that I want to deliberately embarrass you. But in fact, it is illegal for you to run this guild. Although women can do part-time work, I have never heard that the empire will allow women to run it.

Where is the guild?"

Boom——

The girl's fist fell on the quilt, and her smile seemed a little stiff. It was no longer fear, but facing the grains over there with a little anger.

"My business... is none of your business!"

Facing the girl's low roar, Gu Liduo smiled and said: "Ariel, this is not a problem that I don't care about, but a problem that is the fact. You are already able to get married at your age, this guild

Logically speaking, it should belong to your husband, but you don't have a husband now. Do you think that if a man randomly comes and marries you someday in the future, wouldn't this Mermaid Song immediately become your husband's property?

To put it more bluntly, if one day, others find out that the president of Mermaid Song is a woman... then the legitimacy and legitimacy of our guild will be immediately cancelled. Mermaid Song will also be disbanded immediately. This

A little, have you considered it?"

As he said this, Gu Guduo walked into the bed. At the same time, he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the blond hair.

But when his fingers were about to touch her, the girl suddenly threw her hand away and pushed him away with all her strength!

"I... said... you don't have to worry about my affairs! Besides... you dare to tell my secret... and try it!"

Gu Liduo didn't mind. He just waved his hand and said with a smile: "Say it? No, no, no, of course I won't tell it. If we tell it, our guild will be over. But, in order to prevent the most difficult thing from happening,

In this situation, I still suggest that we make some minor changes to Mermaid Song."

"Ariel, transfer the guild leader to me."

"You have to believe that it is impossible for you to lead the guild to prosperity with such a weak body. What Mermaid Song needs is a strong president, a president who can lead all members forward. Please don't worry, I

I am not a beginner. I have rich experience and will never let Mermaid Song go down. If you really like guild life, you can stay here to cook, settle accounts, and listen to the adventure stories we bring you.

.But if you really want to command the entire guild, this is not something you can do with a weak body like yours."

The girl was panting heavily, her cheeks were flushed, and her forehead was so hot that it almost cooked her.

Seeing that the president girl had no energy to answer, Gu Liduo smiled faintly and said: "That's it for what I said, you should think about it carefully. I will give you three days, and I will temporarily take over for you during these three days."

Regarding the responsibilities of the president, I hope you can automatically transfer the president to me after three days. If the time is up and you still haven’t figured it out..."

He slowly walked to the door, opened it, turned around and glanced at the girl over there who was gasping for air again, and said with a smile——

"I don't know why you, who were once so noble, would now open an adventurer's guild in a place like this that belongs entirely to big men. But since you are disguised as a man, you probably don't want anyone to know about it, right? Do you think,

If your true gender is revealed by then, will your members and the townspeople of this town still recognize you as the president of Mermaid Song? By then, this guild will be leaderless, and I will not be needed to lead everyone to welcome them.

Is it difficult to go up? Haha, so for the sake of both of us being decent, I hope you will think it over carefully."

With a smile, and a smile without any pressure at all, Gu Liduo walked out of the door and slowly closed the door...

"Wait a moment!"

"Oh? What's wrong?"

Opening the door again, Gu Liduo stared closely at the girl who had been in his heart for five years. As long as the request was not too excessive, he felt that he should be able to agree to any request of this girl.

"Help me...buy some clothes...women's clothing..."

Even though she was weak, the girl still tried her best to make a sound——

"Buy...a bigger one...I don't want...people to think that I...look...too thin..."

With a smile, Gu Liduo nodded slightly: "As ordered, my lady. Drink some hot water and have a good rest."
