The two walked towards the Snow Goose Adventure Team's villa.
On the way, Kaphni suddenly said, "Be careful of that Eiko."
"What's the meaning?"
Linda was taken aback.
Even after leaving the team, he and Ike remained friends.
The person we should be wary of is Leah, right?
Kaphni recounted what she had seen and heard in the Adventurers' Guild.
...
"Is Ai Ke secretly laughing?"
Linda found it incredible.
He imagined Eko sobbing in his arms while her mouth was smiling in a strange way, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"You're mistaken?"
No! My eyesight is perfectly good.
Kaphni said, "In my opinion, that Echo is definitely not a good person."
"What do you mean?" Linda pondered.
Kafni raised a finger, her face serious: "Think about it carefully. If she really cares about you, why didn't she stop that Lia when you were still in the team? She knows that Lia has been making things difficult for you, right? Otherwise, why would she say 'always on your side'?"
Linda thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.
Eko rarely intervenes when he and Leah are arguing; she usually appears by chance, only after Leah has left.
for example:
I remembered that I left my hair clip in his bedroom;
The room's cooling array isn't working properly; let him go take a look.
Whether newly bought clothes fit or not... there are all sorts of perfectly normal reasons.
As the saying goes, if you follow one cockroach, you can find a whole nest of cockroaches in your house.
After learning this small point of doubt from Kaphni, Linda thought about it more deeply and discovered more doubts about Eko.
Three years ago, Ai Ke approached the Snow Goose Adventure Team, hoping to join. But for Ai Ke at the time, a light mage with experience studying at the Holy Light Church was undoubtedly exceptionally talented, and there was no reason for her to choose the Snow Goose Adventure Team, which was still in its development stage.
Linda secretly inquired about her background and learned that she was from the neighboring city, the daughter of the Purple Thorn family, whose father was a level 30 Star Rank adventurer and whose family had several Iron-level squads.
How could someone like Ai Ke leave the Church of Holy Light and join the penniless Snow Goose Adventure Team?
Linda had considered these questions at first.
But after going on adventures together and becoming true teammates, he no longer doubted her.
With everyone sharing the same goal—to reach the top of the World Tree—that's enough.
Only after Kaphni's reminder did Linda become vigilant.
Thank you for letting me know.
He said to Kaphni.
I'll be more careful when I'm with Aiko in the future.
If possible, he didn't want to be enemies with Eiko.
Afterwards, Linda straightened her clothes and, with the youthful, beautiful, long-legged, and snow-white Kaphni in tow, headed to the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
If all goes well, he should be able to get his discharge certificate before nightfall.
"This moment has finally arrived."
Linda thought about it and felt a little excited.
A team that truly belongs to me, with my own teammates, without annoying people like Leah...
Just imagining it made him feel great.
...
The location is the living room of the Snow Goose Adventure Team's large villa in a quiet, affluent residential area.
There was a pair of clumsy, extremely inflexible high heels that someone had carelessly tossed behind the door.
It's like a toy that you buy, play with once, and then discard because you find it boring.
Leah sat wearily on the sofa, her sore feet bare and encased in thin black stockings.
She took the palm-sized strawberry cake she had bought on the way out of the box and started eating it with a triumphant air.
Back at the villa, the others all left for some reason, and Aiko was also pulled away by Kaine, who said they were going to buy clothes.
Leah was left alone, and she immediately dropped her pretense, eating the strawberry cake with a smug look on her face.
Linda the Cricket, did you see her perfect performance at the strategy guide launch event?
Even without him, the Snow Goose Adventure Team is still a top-notch team!
Leah scooped up a spoonful of the sweet and sour cake covered in strawberry jam, put it in her mouth, and thought happily to herself: Next month, I'll conquer the eleventh floor, the month after that, the twelfth floor, and catch up with the Ice Flower Adventure Team. By the end of the year, we'll become the strongest adventure team in White Dove City!
Her haughty gaze would occasionally drift towards the villa's gate.
Now is the time when 'nobody's around'.
Linda should be here in a little while.
Lia thought to herself, "Ninety-nine percent of the time, he's here to apologize to me."
They might bring up other things, but she would definitely refuse.
After wiping the cake off her lips, Leah walked to the full-length mirror and tidied her appearance.
Then he sat up straight on the sofa and took out a book as thick as a brick.
Just as Linda opened the door, she happened to see Linda intently turning the pages.
Thinking of this, Leah's lips curled into a wide smile.
The book contains knowledge about monsters: how to fight them, where their weaknesses are, the environments that various monsters prefer... The text is densely packed.
Five minutes later.
Leah's eyes are sore.
Studying is so tiring!
Take a break before studying again.
She always had a headache when it came to things with words.
Just then, a bell rang at the gate.
Then, he was pushed away!
Lia quickly picked up the book.
She raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced over there casually.
As expected, it was Linda who walked in from outside.
But there is another person.
Upon seeing that person, Lia's expression immediately changed.
Why is that big bear girl from the Adventurers' Guild with Linda?
Linda brought outsiders to the Xueyan Adventure Team's villa in a very open and blatant manner.
Could it be that he's trying to beg her to recruit that guy into the team too?
Leah gritted her teeth in anger, leaving deep dents in the book with her fingers.
She glanced at Kaphni's face out of the corner of her eye.
The other person had a mature and charming appearance, with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye that exuded a deadly allure.
His chest is of a master-level quality; when he runs, it jiggles like a water bag.
It's ten times hers.
Lia squinted, her face as cold as frost.
While Lia was looking at Kafni with hostility, Kafni was also observing the red-haired girl with curiosity.
As soon as she went up, she was stared at with a murderous gaze, which made Kaphni very unhappy.
Where's your horse?
To others, Lia is a young lady from a wealthy family.
But in Kaphni's eyes, there are only two kinds of people in this world: working heroes who fight against the Demon King, and the rest are a bunch of ants crying for help.
Let's help him out this once, since that brave soul gave up his bed for a month.
Kaphni glanced disdainfully at Leah's flat chest, then reached out and took Linda's arm.
It was Kaffoni's first time doing something like this, and she was clearly a little uncomfortable.
She suppressed her burning cheeks and smirked at Leah, a defiant look on her face.
Your unwanted former teammates, I'll crush them!
