Aiko was initially worried about herself. Seeing Lulu and Linda's intimate behavior, she couldn't remain calm and composed as usual, causing her 'motivational speech plan' to fail.
But now, she's more worried about Leah.
The biggest breach in history!
The gunpowder canister that was about to explode was doused with a bucket of cold water, making it impossible to ignite!
Lia clenched her little fists; she probably wouldn't have been able to stand up if Kaine hadn't been supporting her.
Eko secretly observed her teammates and soon discovered that it wasn't just Lia who had broken down.
Oru, who considers himself Linda's most compatible 'partner'; the diligent and ordinary elf girl Kaine; and the dazed Chrona...
They are all reflecting on themselves, wondering if they have been too harsh on Linda over the past three years.
It seems that from beginning to end, they never said thank you to the commander who had put in so much effort for Xueyan.
If one is not given important responsibilities or even valued, it is only natural for them to leave the team.
Ai Ke looked around and then examined herself before realizing that she was also a little vulnerable!
Linda's 'attack' had splash damage, penetrating Lia and splashing onto the entire Snow Goose Adventure Team!
After careful consideration, Ai Ke thought about it carefully—didn't she bear any responsibility for Linda's departure from the team?
Indeed, unlike Leah, she didn't complain about Linda whenever something happened.
She chose to keep her skills hidden and only use six-tenths of her strength, regardless of how tired Linda was, treating it as punishment for the insult to Linda's dignity when they first met.
But frankly, this kind of punishment might only last a year or two. If it's the third year, and if there's a fourth or fifth, I suspect Linda will be treated the same way.
Approaching Linda as a friend, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed glimpses of his chest, making Linda feel uncomfortable all over. However, she left with composure and returned to her room, secretly laughing to herself.
Lia's opinion that Linda was useless may not be entirely unfounded, partly due to Linda's instigation.
It all started when Ai Ke joined the Snow Goose Adventure Team and shook hands with Lin Da. However, Lin Da, worried about her sister, pushed Ai Ke away from the door and walked out.
In Aiko's eyes at the time, this was unforgivable. She was the young lady of Nanyan City, while Linda was dressed in commoner's clothes and was not of high rank, a world apart from Aiko's status.
Enraged, Eko decides to take revenge on Linda.
But if she had known Linda's true identity from the beginning—the former captain of the Primal Adventure Team—she probably wouldn't have felt that Linda's actions insulted her dignity.
To put it bluntly, she has a high opinion of herself and looks down on Linda, who is dressed in ordinary clothes!
After working together for three years, Ai Ke gradually realized that Linda's abilities were much stronger than she had imagined.
After Linda left the team, Ai Ke approached Linda multiple times under the pretext of taking revenge on her, fearing that Linda would disappear from her side.
Eko thought to herself, her face pale, "Isn't this behavior no different from that of stupid Leah?"
Lia also used a bunch of reasons to get close to Linda, such as "enemy", "to find her friend Linxi", "to obtain information about the combat power of the Phoenix Tail Flower"... Eko thought Lia was acting like an idiot.
She always treated Linda like a devoted follower, but objectively speaking, her actions...
Aiko's heart skipped a beat.
The ground seemed to collapse, and she lost her balance, falling into a bottomless abyss filled with goblins—the real simp was herself!?
She, Aiko, a dignified level 28 Holy Mage, the young lady of Nanyan City, with a family background of the [Rising Sun-level Adventurer Group], is actually Linda's simp!?
"Waaaaah, Linda, I'm different from others, I've always trusted you."
A broken-down Eiko wiped her eyes and used the skill 'fake crying'.
Knowing that Linda had occupied the moral high ground, she quickly tried to appear weak.
Leaving aside the facts.
Linda, you bear some responsibility for making a beautiful young girl cry.
If you have a responsibility, then shoulder it!
Aiko squeezed out two tears, and in just a few seconds, she thought of all the saddest things in her life.
With tears streaming down her face, she looked at Linda and said, "Not only me, but Leah also believes in you. It's just that we didn't communicate well. Can everything still be salvaged?"
Xueyan's group of people were all invigorated.
They didn't yet know how Linda viewed their side.
Leah also perked up her ears.
The onlookers in the courtyard were thoroughly entertained, and they ate several handfuls of melon seeds.
Linda sighed softly and handed the decorative handkerchief from her suit pocket to Eck.
He said, "Even if we're not on the same team anymore, we're still old teammates."
Xueyan and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
The worst thing is that they think they have a good relationship with Linda, but Linda finds them incredibly annoying.
That would be too clownish.
"Thank you, Linda. I will cherish your handkerchief."
Ai Ke wiped away her tears and smiled through them.
Her fake crying was intended to attract Linda's attention and sympathy, and she has achieved her goal.
This will make Linda realize that, compared to Lia, Chrona, and the like, she, Ike, is the one among her old teammates who cares about you the most!
Eko, with her keen insight, didn't intend to shake Lulu's position right away. At least she wanted to kick Lia out first and rise to power by stepping on Lia's head.
As for Lia... she became quiet and withdrawn, and if no one was around, she would probably drop her little pearls. Her eyes were red, and she was trying hard to hold them back.
Ai Ke thought sympathetically, hoping that once Linda was conquered by her and became a true simp, Lia would be able to hold back her tears.
Once Eko gets Linda, she will never let Leah get any closer to Linda.
Dead ashes either don't ignite, or when they do, they become a raging inferno.
Eko's biggest fear is that Lia will awaken.
