“But that person can’t be me. I’ve already embarrassed myself enough today. Those reporters will try to smear me in every way possible. I can’t afford to embarrass myself further by going to Linda’s place.”
Ai Ke's expression was serious as she got straight to the point.
Her true thought was that whoever sought Linda's help would be wasting their old friendship with Linda.
She wanted Linda to owe her a favor, so how could she turn around and ask Linda for medicine?
However, if she were to take action, she would surely succeed with ease. Ai Ke thought smugly to herself.
“It’s not convenient for us either.” Kaine quickly understood the implication, and holding Oru’s large hand, she said softly, “I have to take care of him, so I can’t go.”
Although Krona didn't know what was going on, she was a little afraid to see Linda alone after Linda spanked her.
In addition... she wanted Linda's spiked club.
I went there myself, but I didn't know how to start the conversation.
Chrona looked at Eko with longing eyes.
Ai Ke pretended not to see him, seemingly determined not to go.
If one of them must go, and none of the four choose to go, then only one option remains—
Ta-ta-ta.
The sound of people going downstairs came from the side.
Lia draped a white towel around her neck, pretending to wipe her face, which was wet with sweat from 'long-term exercise'.
The red-haired girl noticed everyone's eyes were on her, blinked guiltily, and said:
"Huh? I've been exercising since this morning without stopping, so you don't know anything?"
Aiko: "I know you don't know anything, but if I tell you, you'll know."
"oh."
Leah felt that everyone's expressions were a bit strange, making her feel awkward about whether to stand or sit, and unsure of what to do with her hands and feet.
This is her team's villa, but she feels a sense of awkwardness, like visiting a stranger's house for the first time.
"Lia, please have a seat," Eko said with a smile.
“Oh…” Leah sat awkwardly on the far right of the sofa.
"You know about the Metal Destroyer, right?"
"Zhi...cough cough, what is that?"
Faced with Lia's feigned ignorance, Eko gave a forced smile and briefly recounted the day's strategy for catching the Phoenix Flower.
"Really? Linda's adventure team seems to be doing quite well. Then I congratulate him."
Leah calmly poured herself a cup of black tea, her fingers steady and her demeanor composed.
It's obvious that they've practiced many times.
"Someone needs to go and buy the Metal Destroyer," Echo said.
With everyone's attention focused on Lia, even if Lia was naive, she understood that her teammates were silently pressuring her.
"What about you? Aren't you going?"
Why should I go by myself?
Leah was a little flustered. The thought of going to the Phoenix Flower Adventure Team's base alone made her feel restless, as if a small spoon was stirring inside her.
She had already experienced Linda's verbal skills in Red Peach City. She knew she couldn't out-argue Linda on her own, so she needed to bring a smart person with her!
“We can’t go.” Aiko shook her head decisively.
The biggest conflict between Xueyan and Luanweihua lies with Liya. Only Liya herself can resolve this conflict.
Seeing Leah's hesitant and somewhat timid expression, Eko puffed out her chest and said with a hint of sarcasm:
"You're the captain of the renowned Snow Goose, the Rock-level adventure team. Can't you even do something this simple? Linda, that kind-hearted person, would definitely offer you the potion with tears of gratitude if you asked her directly, right?"
"Or... can't you even do something this simple?"
"No way, no way? Flame Blossom Leah doesn't even dare to go to her old teammate to buy a potion?"
"Ike said in a sarcastic tone."
"W-what—I can definitely do it!"
Leah's face flushed instantly, spilling half of the teacup on the table. Not to be outdone, she puffed out her chest, a trembling smile playing on her lips.
"Don't even mention one bottle of potion, I can easily buy three bottles, ha, ha, ha...!"
Ai Ke exclaimed, "Wow, no wonder you're Xueyan's captain. But it would be too embarrassing if you couldn't bring them back. If it were me, I'd just hang myself from a tree."
Leah: "..."
...
...
While Xueyan was discussing who to send to buy the medicine, Linda and her group had already returned to the Sparrow District by carriage.
Room 303 (rental apartment).
The door wasn't locked, and as soon as it was pushed open, the enticing aroma of food filled the air.
Linda looked inside in surprise. In front of the simple stove, a girl with a white apron and light blue short hair was busy in front of the frying pan.
The air circulation in the rented room was poor, and the heat from cooking caused a layer of sweat to cover the girl's fair neck.
The twilight light streamed in, as if gilding the sweat with a golden glow, making the ordinary beads of sweat appear like nectar. Whether it was the aroma of the food or the girl's natural fragrance, it made one's throat tighten and caused a swallow...
