Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

Surtr had no money, and neither did Lucas Reeve... they couldn’t afford a hotel, so they could only sleep under a bridge. In any case, Lucas Reeve didn’t care; he slept inside the sword anyway. Surtr also seemed to be used to sleeping under bridges. She found a relatively comfortable spot and lay down.

Surtr answered Lucas Reeve’s unspoken question.

”Because when I used to travel the world, I would sleep in different places when passing through city-states. Park benches, bridge underpasses, even the side of the road. Only in a bridge underpass can I sleep comfortably until dawn. In other places, a person called a policeman would always wake me up halfway through my sleep.”

Damn...

Lucas Reeve cursed inwardly.

How did she get so experienced at sleeping under bridges?

”Have you ever slept in a proper bed?”

Lucas Reeve, as a small flame, bounced on Surtr’s body.

”I have...”

Surtr said, ”In the past, I would also break into empty rooms in some inns and sleep there. Those beds were so soft and mushy, it wasn’t comfortable. And the colors were bright red or pink, I don’t really like those shades. Plus, I was discovered by the people there halfway through my sleep.”

”Wait a minute?”

Lucas Reeve was stunned.

”You snuck in secretly, why would the people there find you? There couldn’t have been cameras, right?”

”I don’t know...”

Just as Lucas Reeve was about to continue chatting with Surtr.

Suddenly.

Lucas Reeve seemed to sense someone approaching and quickly drilled into the greatsword.

And from the side of the bridge underpass.

A girl with golden hair and strange horns on both sides of her head, wearing a long, jet-black leather dress, walked over with a serious expression. Then, upon seeing Surtr, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

She silently wrote something in the notebook in her hand.

[Lungmen Covert Investigation]

[January 12th, under the great bridge on the west side of Lungmen’s upper district, a homeless person is living inside. Investigator’s score: 4 points. Investigator’s comments: The presence of homeless people in a central area like the upper district shows that Lungmen’s economic and social conditions are far from being as excellent as imagined. It is recommended to shorten the interval between Lungmen investigations in the future.]

After the blonde girl finished writing in her notebook, she closed it, put it in her pocket, and then took out a small voice recorder from her pocket, preparing to interview this member of Lungmen’s lower class sleeping under the bridge and offer some basic care.

The blonde girl walked forward.

As she got closer, aided by the bright moonlight from outside the underpass.

The blonde girl then noticed that the person sleeping under the bridge was not some ragged homeless person, but a beautiful girl with long red hair and purple eyes, wearing a jet-black dress. And as she approached, the girl had already woken up and was looking right at her.

”Sigh!!”

The blonde girl sighed.

This Lungmen!

Is this how they care for people in need?!!

In the middle of winter!!

Three degrees!!

In such cold weather.

Such a young girl is wearing a dress!! And with bare legs!!!
