Chapter 208: It's Obvious, They're in Love
Chapter 208: It's Obvious, They're in Love
"Xie Manshi, who claims to be a descendant of General Eri Manshi of the Siven Kingdom, has been handed over to the local city hall as per the client's request.
I think we should pay a bit more attention to the follow-up matters."
At the guild's front desk, Erusha summarized the key points of the mission in a serious manner.
Makarov nodded in satisfaction.
Erusha was someone who always put his mind at ease, and Luo De was the type who could make even the most troublesome people a bit more Manageable.
This combination of the two of them made him very pleased.
Not only did they complete the mission brilliantly, but they also handled the follow-up matters well, and most importantly, they helped him win against Godman.
As he had expected, Erusha + Luo De indeed outperformed Bages + that other person.
They were truly a golden duo.
Next time, he would definitely assign them to similar tasks.
However, if there was something off...
Makarov asked in confusion, "Why is Luo De so quiet today?"
"Ah?" Luo De seemed to be daydreaming and suddenly snapped back to reality when he heard his name.
This kid also has his moments of distraction, Makarov thought. He asked, "Do you have anything to add?"
"No, Erusha did a great job."
"..." If Erusha did such a good job, why do you keep looking at Mira? Forget it, Makarov was in a good mood and didn't want to ask too many questions. "In any case, you did a great job. Mira, you handle the rest... Mira?"
"Ah, yes, Guild Master."
"..." Why are you blushing? Makarov looked at Mira, then at Luo De.
Oh~~ The Guild Master, being an experienced man, could guess what might have happened between the two of them.
He jumped down from the counter and said, "In any case, it's in your hands now."
Being young is truly wonderful.
Mira lowered her head and wrote, then passed the document to Erusha and Luo De to sign.
When Luo De handed back the register and pen, their fingertips touched, and Mira recoiled as if she had been electrocuted, causing the pen to fall onto the table with a clatter.
The two of them exchanged a glance, and Mira realized she had overreacted. She usually didn't mind such small contacts.
Just act naturally, act naturally.
Mira picked up the pen and resumed her work as if nothing had happened.
Influenced by her, Luo De also started feeling uneasy, unsure of what to do next.
Erusha, sensing something, cast a scrutinizing gaze between Mira and Luo De, "Could it be that you two..."
Mira quickly interjected, "No!"
At the same time, Erusha said, "Did you have a fight?"
Luo De, seeing Mira's slightly embarrassed look, stifled a laugh, "No, we didn't fight, really."
After he finished speaking, he received a pouting Mira with wide eyes.
"It's good that you didn't fight. We are all comrades, and if there are any issues, we must sit down and talk it out," Erusha nodded seriously, "If you need a mediator, just let me know."
Luo De looked at Mira and asked with a smile, "Do you want some mediation?"
"No, not necessary," Mira smiled and waved at Luo De, "Do you want to come inside the counter?"
"…Sure." Although he was sure nothing good would come of it, Luo De decided to step over.
"Ouch~~" Luo De's toes throbbed with pain. Why did she kick so hard today?
Mira asked with a smile, "Is something wrong?"
"No, I accidentally bumped my knee on the counter." The resilient Luo De took out the ledger from the counter, "Shall we start working?"
"In that case, I'll take my leave." Erusha had two armors that needed repairs.
Mira retracted her foot. After a bit of playful teasing, she felt a bit more normal. She hadn't known how to talk to Luo De since this morning.
Luo De watched as her expression returned to normal and she focused on her work. "When was the last time we ordered wine?"
"Two days ago."
"Expenses?"
"The bill is in the drawer. Yesterday's purchase of ingredients is also there; I haven't had the chance to record it yet."
"Alright."
With both of them working seriously, things seemed more normal, though their eye contact was a bit more frequent than usual.
"Mira, this mission," Gray said, placing a commission slip on the counter.
"Okay." Mira glanced at it and asked, "Going alone?"
"No, teaming up with Loki."
"Loki?" Mira looked up and scanned the area, seeing Loki half-hidden by the guild door, waving at her.
Mira glanced at Luo De, "Loki is still like that, huh."
Luo De sighed, "I thought he would have gotten used to my presence by now. If I just stand here, will he not work?"
"Who knows?" Gray asked Luo De, "Have you really done nothing to him?"
Luo De replied, "I've spoken to him less than ten times, and half of those were during our first sparring session."
Gray asked, "Do you want me to help mediate?"
Luo De glanced at Mira, wondering why everyone was talking about mediation today, "If you can."
Mira glared at Luo De, thinking about his earlier request for Erusha to mediate. She handed the stamped commission slip to Gray, "There's still some risk, be careful."
"Thanks." Gray took the slip and left, but after a few steps, he turned back, feeling that something was off with the two of them today.
"Too slow, Gray," Loki complained, hands in his pockets.
"Sorry, just felt like Mira and Luo De were acting strange today."
"What's so strange about that?" Loki adjusted his glasses, "It's obvious, they're in love."
"No way?"
Gray, along with many others in the guild, knew about Luo De's crush on Mira.
Usually, the two of them did seem close, but they never showed anything too obvious.
If anything, it felt like Alzack and Bisca's relationship had progressed faster.
And while Mira's personality had changed a lot, making her more likable to many, not many dared to pursue her seriously.
After all, the title "Demon Mira" wasn't given lightly, and the guild members understood it well.
In fact, a small part of the guild still hadn't fully adjusted to Mira's current demeanor.
Dating Mira?
It seemed hard to imagine.
"Trust me, I don't get these things wrong," Loki's glasses gleamed with wisdom, "When you admire someone, it's not easy to hide it. There were signs before, and now, they might have already made significant progress."
"What?"
Loki clasped his hands together, grinning like a seasoned veteran, "A big step forward."
Gray made a face, Loki was great in many ways, but his romantic life was a bit messy.
"By the way, when do you plan to reconcile with Luo De?"
The confident Loki suddenly panicked, "W-What reconciliation? We don't have any conflicts."
"If you don't have any conflicts, why are you avoiding him? Don't tell me you're just bad at dealing with Celestial Spirit Mages, Luo De isn't a Celestial Spirit Mage."
"Even if he's not a Celestial Spirit Mage, he's still a summoner..."
Loki didn't want to talk about it and blurted out the first excuse that came to mind, "That windbreaker is expensive, right? Is it really okay to throw it around like that?"
"Huh?!"
