Scarlet Gold's Raw Ore (Please Vote Monthly)

Fang Li showed not the slightest reaction to Zhuge Jinghuan's words.

He merely spoke to Zhuge Jinghuan in a somewhat indifferent tone.

"Take care of these girls."

With that, Fang Li turned around, ready to leave.

But before he could, a voice called out to him.

"W-Wait!"

Shirayuki seemed to have received emergency treatment. Bandages were wrapped around her body, and though her steps were unsteady, she still walked resolutely toward Fang Li.

Fang Li raised his eyes and looked at Shirayuki.

Meeting Fang Li's gaze, Shirayuki spoke with utmost seriousness.

"I'll go with you, Li-kun."

That single sentence made Fang Li frown.

Zhuge Jinghuan, on the other hand, nodded and spoke as though talking to himself.

"When it comes to this matter, no one is more reliable than a Miko from St. Gala Shrine."

In the past, Fang Li certainly would not have understood why Zhuge Jinghuan said that.

But now, Fang Li understood completely.

Yes.

When it came to the Scarlet God, no one was more reliable than Shirayuki.

Because Shirayuki was the head Miko of St. Gala Shrine.

"Li-kun."

Shirayuki fixed her eyes on Fang Li and spoke with a trace of stubborn determination.

"Let me go with you."

"As a Miko of St. Gala Shrine, I can't stand by and do nothing about this."

Fang Li had expected as much.

"...All right."

After pondering for a moment, Fang Li nodded.

"I have some things I want to ask you too."

Then, Fang Li reached out to Shirayuki and pulled her into his arms.

Shirayuki's pretty face flushed, and she wore a blissful expression. Yet she knew this was not the time to indulge herself. She hurriedly reined in her fantasies and shyly lowered her head against Fang Li's chest.

Perhaps only Fang Li could feel it?
