They say the ambiguous stage is the happiest moment in love.
But whether it was Sein or Frieren.
Even Yulian didn't think so.
After all, the love-hate relationship between Stark and Fern had severely wounded the hearts of the three noble singles!!!
"Hurry up and start dating!"
In a corner of the bright tavern.
After Sein chugged down a large glass of beer.
He slammed the glass onto the table!
A slight reddish flush appeared on his cheeks, showing his intoxication.
"If only it were that simple."
Yulian sat beside him, looking haggard.
His eyes looked tiredly at the drizzling rain and snow outside the window.
The blizzard had been falling for a week straight, and they had already tried hard to bring Fern and Stark together.
But the two of them were like logs.
Whenever it came to a critical moment, they would always mess up...
"Hmm..."
Frieren sat quietly by the table.
Looking at the two despairing people, she felt a bit of heartache.
"Although I don't understand much, I feel like you've already tried very hard."
Cooking together, building snowmen together, going out to find firewood together...
Many times were excellent opportunities for them to spend time together.
But each time, the two of them only went as far as ambiguous hints, never crossing the line of friendship.
Hmm...
Thought appeared in Frieren's eyes.
What was that phrase Yulian said?
Right!
More than friends, less than lovers!
That's it!
"But just the two of us trying hard won't work either..."
Sein sighed in a daze.
In a few more days, the cold snap would pass, and the blizzard would stop soon.
He would also have to leave.
After parting ways with everyone, it would be difficult for him to have a chance to bring Fern and Stark together.
"Could it be that Fern, or rather, Stark, didn't have that kind of idea in the first place?"
Frieren nodded, but the next second, she propped her chin with her hand and leaned tiredly on the table.
"Impossible!"
Yulian and Sein almost simultaneously spoke up to refute.
"Have you ever seen normal friends exchange rings that represent love!"
"Mirrored Lotus, mind you!"
Yulian said confidently.
At the same time, Yulian remembered that Fern and Stark were the official couple!
That's official, okay!
"Besides, that feeling!"
"Do you understand that feeling from the depths of their hearts, Frieren!"
Sein raised his glass like a drunken bard.
"That feeling they have for each other cannot be faked!"
"But..."
Frieren thought, although she felt that what the two of them said was quite right.
But in her opinion, since they loved each other but never got together, wasn't this just foolish?
So Frieren still couldn't help but want to refute.
"But didn't Himmel also give me one..."
Frieren recalled the Mirrored Lotus silver ring that had turned black due to the passage of time.
Yulian: "..."
Sein: "..."
The two looked at each other, speechless.
What Yulian was thinking was.
Granny, that seems to be considered your official couple too, okay?
Is it really a memoir of a deceased husband?
What Sein was thinking was: Who is Himmel? The Hero in the Hero's party!
What!
Himmel even gave this old fellow Frieren a Mirrored Lotus ring!
When!
How did he only know about such a big matter now!
And look at Frieren's reaction?
Did she really only consider the Hero as a friend?!
In Sein's shocked pupils, there seemed to be a picture.
The gentle little Hero with blue hair ran to the white-haired elf's side with a bouquet (verb: poke, poke, poke) and handed out the bouquet.
His lips were slightly parted, and his face showed deep affection.
He spoke with a gentle voice like a light breeze supporting a slender willow.
"Frieren, I Love You~"
This was also something Sein learned after getting drunk and bragging with Yulian.
It had quite an effect when flirting with older sisters.
And the white-haired elf, little Frieren, just lowered her head blankly, and after carefully examining the blue-haired Hero.
She took the bouquet.
She calmly said.
"Oh, my friend~"
"You are really a good person!"
Sein and Yulian, each with their own thoughts, fell into silence.
On the contrary, Frieren blinked, having already sat up straight.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the two people's strange silence.
Frieren's beautiful eye corners wrinkled slightly.
"Hmm, it's nothing."
Yulian originally wanted to say: Is there a possibility that Himmel also had feelings for you?
But Yulian thought that the deceased was gone, and bringing it up would only add to the sorrow.
Lord Himmel, you wouldn't want Mistress Frieren to recall sad memories, would you?
The tone was strange.
But that was indeed the meaning.
Since Frieren didn't notice Himmel's affection.
Then Yulian felt there was no need to make Frieren notice this point anymore.
Otherwise, it would only add to Frieren's sorrow.
However, Sein was different.
Sein hesitated to speak.
It was obvious that he was very curious about Frieren and Himmel's past.
He was really obsessed with shipping couples and didn't care about anything else!
Yulian muttered something under his breath, and quickly changed the subject when Sein couldn't help but ask.
"Frieren, you say..."
This was Sein.
"Sein, so are there no other good ways?"
"Fern and Stark's progress is worrying!"
This was Yulian interrupting Sein's curiosity.
At the same time, Yulian, with his back to Frieren, kept winking at Sein.
"Uh..."
Sein paused.
He naturally understood Yulian's meaning.
Although he was a bit unwilling.
But after suddenly realizing that recalling the deceased Himmel might not be a good thing for Frieren.
Sein wisely shut his mouth.
And instead started thinking about Yulian's question.
"As for methods..."
They had thought of too many methods...
It was just that whether it was letting the two be alone together, sharing hardships together, or cheering them on with the others acting as wingmen.
The results were not ideal.
"It seems there really aren't any left..."
Sein sighed.
Fern and Stark didn't seem like children their age at all.
When it came to love, they were too timid!
Daring to hate but not daring to love!
They would get jealous, get angry, and do something because of certain things!
But they just didn't dare to openly express their love!
"It's really a headache..."
Yulian couldn't help but cover his head.
A sense of powerlessness, like 'my head hurts terribly', washed over him.
Actually, if one were to say that Fern and Stark were ambiguous, it wasn't really much because both of them maintained the boundaries.
But having eaten so much dog food along the way, the feeling of being a third wheel several times for no reason was truly unpleasant...
Frieren didn't care though.
The emotionally dense elf didn't have much feeling for love and romance in the first place.
Perhaps in Frieren's eyes, she was just curious about Fern and Stark.
But Yulian and Sein were indeed suffering a lot.
Every time they were with those two, they felt a bit redundant!
The more recent it was, the more obvious it became!
For a moment, Yulian and Sein looked at Frieren, understanding each other without words.
In Frieren's confused little eyes, the two of them simultaneously sighed in their hearts.
Indeed, adults are dirty.
Knowing too much isn't a good thing either..
