"Happy birthday——!"

Under the bright moon, everyone gave blessings in unison.

In the tailor shop, I, Miss Polly, Qian Zhihe, Alvin, Marcia and more than a dozen regular customers of the tailor shop put on smiles and clapped.

"Thank you!"

Raya thanks us.

I stared at Raya intently and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw her smiling naturally.

Yeah~~Another great success~~

I drank grape juice with secret joy - the adult age in this world is sixteen, and considering the existence of minors, no wine was prepared at the birthday party.

It would be better if there is alcohol stimulation, I thought. After all, people are always greedy. Once they feel happy, they always hope to upgrade this joy to please themselves permanently.

"Well, I like that little girl very much."

It doesn't take much thinking to know that Gail is referring to Raya.

"Don't go into heat with my Miss Raya, or get out of my head."

"You are so rude, that little girl must have spent every day with you like a year."

Gale fought back mercilessly.

"Stop talking nonsense, you."

"Don't imitate my speech!"

"Eh..."

Just when I was about to have a good argument with Gale, I caught a glimpse of the Paper Crane walking towards me out of the corner of my eye, and I had no choice but to shut up.

"Are you talking to yourself again?"

Qian Zhihe smiled, her hand was filled with the same grape juice as mine.

"You saw it."

"Well, I heard from Alvin that you often talk to yourself in the camp, although you can't hear what you say..."

"Well, it's so obvious..."

I scratched my hair.

"Then wouldn't I be regarded as a 'problematic old man'?"

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I didn’t tell anyone about Gale.

"Haha, that's too exaggerated... However, if you really feel lonely, it would be better to chat with more real people."

Look, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

"Well~~ Let's not talk about this——"

I raised my glass:

"Thank you for taking the time to attend Raya's birthday party."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

The two glasses touched lightly and made a crisp sound.

"You must be extremely busy, right? Thank you for your hard work."

I say it from the bottom of my heart.

The destruction of the cavalry doubled Qianzhihe's workload. Alvin and Marcia would share part of the workload for her on weekdays, but it was probably only a drop in the bucket - the evidence is that Qianzhihe appeared at the training ground less and less often, and...

I heard that she also quit all her part-time jobs.

"It's okay..."

Qianzhihe blinked his sleep-deprived eyes.

"It's enough to finish this period of time. The lord has appointed several assistants - they will arrive in the town in about a week."

"Oh, the lord finally helped."

Eh? One week? Can Paper Crane hold on...

"Are those assistants going to be the town's guard?"

"No..."

Qianzhihe smiled bitterly and said:

"They are mere 'assistants'. They are only responsible for sharing the affairs of guarding the legion. They are not considered soldiers in the true sense."

"That's it."

Would you rather add "assistants" to the guard army than directly station the new army in the town...What a stingy lord.

"By the way, you have made great progress recently - even Marcia said so."

"The guy definitely looked unconvinced when he said that, right?"

"Haha... Indeed, but this just shows that you have really made progress."

"I agree."

I'm very proud to be able to trouble Marcia.

As the supreme master of Gael, I have to admit that it is somewhat useful.

The divine eye is responsible for judging the probability of success of the response method, while Gale transforms all the information into simple and easy-to-understand instructions, so that my actions can be accurate and fast.

Thanks to this, I tasted victory, and Marcia and Alvin also lost... although most of the fights still resulted in them winning.

"The long-term training has paid off, congratulations."

"Thank you~~"

"Hmph, you have to be grateful to me."

Shut up, I didn’t allow you to take credit.

However, Gale couldn't hear my thoughts and started showing off himself in my head.

"I am such a powerful existence. It is your supreme honor to be with me as a small person..."

"In this way, the power of divine purpose has been developed, which is great."

Wow...Gail's voice buzzed like a mosquito around his ears, which was annoying to death.

"Yeah..."

"Hmph, if you can be more useful, I will definitely be able to use greater abilities..."

"You have to work harder from now on."

"Well..."

While restraining myself from saying "Shut up! You useless wife", I responded to Qian Zhihe as if nothing had happened.

"How can you, a mortal, understand my wisdom? From now on, you only need to obey my arrangements, I..."

No, I can't bear it.

"Sorry, I have to go to the toilet."

I left these words and walked away.

......

"Hmm~~"

With my mind calm again, I returned to Qianzhihe.

"By the way, Qian Zhihe, your destined spouse is called Rita?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered... Is it a sexual relationship?"

"No, it's hard to get a sexual partner."

Thousand Paper Cranes waved their hands.

"Oh... Is the destined partner transformed by an undead soul that doesn't want to be reincarnated? Has Rita told you about its previous life?"

"It's true, but it may not want to..."

Qian Zhihe lowered his gaze in embarrassment, then froze for a moment, as if he heard something, and then smiled at me and said:

"Rita just said that if the other party is Mr. Lonely, there is no need to worry."

"Thank you, Rita~~"

"Then I told you - Rita used to be a housewife."

"Eh..."
