Aiko's angry expression froze on her face.
I was somewhat surprised.
It was also a bit awkward.
She had mixed feelings.
Yeah.
So, you really did consider me a 'friend'.
In my eyes, you're a Shar Pei...
A strange, inexplicable feeling arose in Ai Ke's heart.
Overall, she found Leah more agreeable.
But this idiot captain doesn't understand at all that it's the team members who are protecting her, not the other way around.
The only thing to praise is Leah's bravery in rushing to the front to fight off the monsters.
Thinking of all of Lia's silly antics, Eko was actually amused.
The dark mist in her eyes quietly dissipated.
"There's one last question."
Eko whispered in Lia's ear, "How would you rate Linda, the Eye of Truth?"
I'm quite curious.
I wonder what this powder keg really thinks of Linda.
Aiko rubbed her hands together expectantly.
She took a recording magic stone and placed it near Leah's mouth.
No matter what, she's won now. If Leah says she likes Linda, she can use the recording magic stone to threaten the shy Leah, telling her not to stay away from Linda, or she'll give the recording magic stone to the White Dove Morning Post and let the whole city know that Leah is a stubborn and arrogant weirdo.
It would be even better if Leah said she considered Linda a rival or an enemy.
Eko can sleep soundly now, and she'll never have to be jealous of Leah again.
only...
She waited for a long time.
Lydia, who was in a deep sleep, said nothing.
Is he fast asleep?
Echo pats Lydia's face.
There was no movement.
This dead pig...
Eko shook her head and went to the room to find a blanket to drape over Leah.
As she reached the stairs to the second floor, Leah's dreamlike words suddenly rang out.
What was said?
Aiko's pupils constricted slightly.
Her expression shifted from shock to disbelief, then to contemplation, and finally to relief.
That's true.
If Leah were to ever become more frank, given her personality, she would certainly give such a concise answer.
There are only five characters.
But Eko understood everything.
This guy really is my biggest competitor in the future.
Aiko put the recording magic stone away.
She didn't want to use this thing to threaten Leah anymore.
That's despicable.
Eko covered Leah with a blanket.
Then she tied her blonde hair back with a headband, went back to her room, and pulled out a white suitcase that had been under her bed for almost three years and had never been opened.
The suitcase was covered in dust, and after patting it a couple of times, it made Ai Ke cough.
She opened the box and took out a book thicker than a brick: "Advanced Knowledge and Application of Light Magic (Part 1)".
Ai Ke took a deep breath, rubbed her cheeks, focused her gaze, hugged the thick book, and sat down at her desk to read late into the night.
Nobody knew that Ai Ke was once a jerk.
She plans to be the first among Xueyan and her group to reach the Star Rank!
...
...
Under the starlight, Linda drove the carriage back to the villa.
That's good.
Recalling Aiko's tearful expression, Linda sighed and silently thought to herself.
He really liked Aiko; she was beautiful and a powerful mage.
But he can no longer betray his own people; there are already four people in his current team.
Linda is very thin-skinned.
While most people make vows one-on-one, his one-on-four is outrageous enough. He can't even hold hands with everyone, and when he puts rings on the girls' fingers to symbolize their vows of protection, they all have to wait in line.
But since they're your own teammates, outsiders can understand to some extent. However, making a vow with someone from another team is a more intriguing matter.
The oath is a pledge to protect each other for life, as adventurers. Many close teammates make oaths, in various combinations such as male-male, female-female, and male-female, essentially a pure and sacred relationship.
However, making vows with adventurers from other teams... is basically either for money or for their bodies.
Public opinion will not let Linda off the hook, and his teammates will be angry too!
He only considered Ai Ke as a close old teammate, not to the point of going all out to make a vow with her.
So, this is fine.
Although reason has yielded the answer.
Linda was filled with anxiety and distraction while driving the carriage, almost forgetting to turn.
"I'm back."
Ten minutes later, Linda arrived at the villa in the Canary Community.
The temperature-regulating array kept the villa at a comfortable temperature. He took off his coat and placed it on the shelf in the entryway.
Linda paused for a moment as she entered the living room.
Everywhere was cleaned spotlessly, so clean that I almost thought I had entered someone else's home.
"That's impressive."
I only spent half an hour from leaving to returning, and to clean to this extent in such a short time is nothing short of amazing.
Lulu glanced at Tasia, her tone tinged with admiration: "She did most of it."
“That’s right.” Tasia proudly puffed out her chest.
“You deserve praise, Tasia, you are an excellent maid.” Linda nodded approvingly.
Tasia smiled.
She bowed gracefully, saying, "The master's praise is the greatest honor for a maid."
"It's getting late, everyone should go to sleep."
Linda thought for a moment and said, "Let's clear the ninth floor tomorrow and officially become a Rock-class team."
Once he passes the ninth floor, he can probably advance another level.
At that time, the teleportation array of the tenth level of the Great Mystic Realm will be open to the Phoenix Tail Flower Squad.
