"Hmm." Monica nodded listlessly.
Linda hesitated for a moment, looking at Monica's cute and rosy appearance, and added, "It's not that the captain doesn't like you, you're just too young. When you grow up, you can do those things too."
Even though Monica is already eighteen, Linda feels guilty because she is not mature enough in appearance and mind.
"Really?"
"Absolutely true."
Yay!
Upon hearing this, Monica's big eyes curved into crescents with joy, and her pair of small white-stockinged feet swung happily back and forth.
But what she was thinking was that if Chrona could also become Linda's vow partner, they could be together forever. Even in this moment, the innocent and kind-hearted Monica didn't forget her new friend.
'I wish I could be Linda's bride alongside Chrona,' Monica thought naively.
Linda managed to appease the girls and narrowly escaped this ordeal.
well.
Having a group of teammates who like you is such a hassle.
Linda shook her head inwardly, hands on her hips, full of helplessness.
...
The celebration banquet didn't end until late at night.
Leah, who always prided herself on her high alcohol tolerance, was finally put down on the table by Lulu, her eyes turning into swollen circles from drinking, and there seemed to be a little yellow duck spinning above her head.
Leah originally wanted to challenge Linda to a duel—but Lulu shielded Linda from the drinks, acting like an impenetrable wall of steel. Leah smashed her head against the wall but failed and collapsed at its base.
"I've heard orcs have a high alcohol tolerance, but this is way too much! Even though ale has a low alcohol content, the sheer volume makes up for it. If it were spirits, it would be three pounds."
Linda was secretly amazed. He looked at Lulu and realized that the werewolf girl was completely unharmed.
At this moment, Tasia came downstairs, confirmed that the celebration banquet was over, and began to clean up.
"I'll take her back."
Linda got up and carried the drunk Lia on her shoulder.
Lulu looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and did not stop him.
Outside the villa, all was quiet, and the sky was full of stars.
Linda drove the carriage, and the oncoming wind sobered her up considerably.
He glanced back at the girl's terrible sleeping posture in the carriage, the loose orange bra strap, and large expanses of snow-white skin... He was filled with mixed emotions.
He thought that leaving Xueyan would be the end of their relationship.
I never imagined that I would actually have a day where I would drink with someone at the same table.
"I hope you can become a mature and excellent adventurer."
Linda touched Leah's face. It was surprisingly soft, a stark contrast to Leah's mouth—a typical beautiful girl who kept her mouth shut, but whose mouth was unbearable to open.
On the other side, at Xueyan's villa.
The hall was brightly lit.
Normally at this time, only Chrona's room would have the lights on.
The pink-haired loli said that if she didn't stay up late playing games, she would feel like she was wasting her day.
But today, Ai Ke didn't sleep, and for the first time in a long time, she became a curling dog.
We were forced into it.
Bervis smiled at Eko, who was engrossed in writing her test paper, his voice gentle yet carrying a chill:
"You can't even solve such a simple magic problem? At your current level, you can only get a maximum of 115 points in magic knowledge class, which is enough to get into a top-tier adventurer's university. The most famous academies in the empire all require a perfect score of 120. Eiko, you should have been able to do that before, right?"
"Not only have you fallen behind in your academic studies, but you've also failed your aristocratic etiquette test. Your archery casting speed is even slower than when you were 17... Eiko, be glad you won the bet, otherwise I would have only given you one hour of rest time each day and made you study until you vomited blood."
Despite his smile, the veins on his forehead were practically bulging.
Anyone would be furious to see their academically gifted, genius sister turn into a lazy, second-rate adventurer who pretends to be lame.
Bervis was certain that if his father saw Eko in this useless state, he would definitely chop Eko to pieces.
"Studying...hehehe, is studying useful? Will studying allow me to ride a legendary mount?"
Ai Ke couldn't take it anymore. She slammed the quill pen into the trash can, her eyebrows furrowing in anger.
"Bovis, you study every day, but have you ridden a legendary mount yet? Let me tell you, if you weren't born with one, you'll never have one! Studying only brings me pain!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you become an elite if you don't study?"
Bovis intended to refute Ike with his elite theories, but Ike suddenly stood up, looking him in the eye with a cold smile: "But I have a way to ride a legendary mount even without effort."
"What method is it?" Bervis asked, his curiosity piqued.
"First, cooking, mastering master-level cooking skills."
Ai Ke raised her second finger: "Second, exercise regularly to have a good figure. Third, take care of your skin every day to keep yourself looking like an eighteen-year-old girl forever."
"Fourth, one must have superb makeup skills and a good sense of style. Even the so-called most beautiful elf princess on the continent cannot do without cosmetics and gorgeous clothes. Every time she appears, she wears a subtle makeup that is actually quite clever. The brainless and stupid adventurers think that she is not wearing any makeup. It's hilarious."
"stop!"
Bovis interrupted Ike, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "Will these things allow you to ride a legendary mount?"
"yes."
Eko replied matter-of-factly, "How can you attract outstanding men if you don't master these skills?"
Bervis's face stiffened.
"you mean..."
"As long as Linda becomes my prisoner, I can ride a legendary mount."
Aiko proudly puffed out her chest. "Bovis, don't get cocky. Let me tell you, Linda is already working hard to collect fragments for a legendary mount!"
Bovis was dumbfounded.
Linda's hard work is none of your business.
Maybe he's having fun with a bunch of pretty girls and he didn't even include you!
It's over.
His sister is completely hopeless!
She actually gave up trying and hoped to turn her life around by marrying someone else.
"But—I think you're quite smart."
Bervis thought about it carefully.
It seems that there's nothing wrong with what Aiko did.
If Ai could capture Linda and make her her servant, it would be a huge win for the Holy Rock Adventurers.
I'm afraid that stubborn and pedantic father... Bervis narrowed his eyes and looked at Aiko meaningfully: "Then you'd better hurry up, or Linda will be taken by someone else if you're not careful."
"There are too many wolves and too little meat," Bovis sighed. "According to the 195th adventurer census, there are 20% more women than men, which means there will be 20% single women. Excellent male adventurers are highly sought after, so you should go for it, or you'll end up with nowhere to cry."
Aiko sat back in her wheelchair, her face drooping and her expression gloomy: "I know, don't rush me, Linda will definitely be captured by me."
"The one who wins in the end... should definitely be me."
The last sentence was murmured softly to Ai Ke in her heart.
Ding-dong
The doorbell rang.
“It’s me, Linda. I’ve brought your Leah back.”
