The stars twinkled outside the window, music drifted in the air, and the desk lamp automatically switched to a soft, warm yellow light.
The page Linda turned to had extremely faint handwriting, like a feather lightly brushing across the paper.
I glanced at the date; it seemed to be the day after I left the team.
Linda had never considered the situation of the Snow Goose Adventure Team after she left the team.
If I had to guess, it's probably Chrona who popped champagne to celebrate, and now that no one's going to bother her anymore, Leah went off to recruit new team members in a huff.
Linda looked at the diary:
After Linda and Liya had a big fight, Linda moved out of Xueyan's villa and hasn't come back yet. It seems she has really left the team.
Leah had annoyed him before, so why was she reacting so strongly this time?
I thought he went out to buy supplies in the evening. I should have tried to persuade him to stay.
Leah looks terrible; her face is as black as the bottom of a pot. It's best to avoid her for now.
Linda's heart skipped a beat. This day should be the day Xueyan recruited Phyllis and the day the ninth level was conquered.
It seems that Leah wasn't happy about leaving the team; instead, she was sulking.
She probably expects me to comfort her.
She has the life of a maid but the heart of a princess.
Linda has encountered many "young lady" type characters in the game, and their personalities are much better than Lia's.
But he generally didn't bother arguing with idiots. He chuckled and continued flipping through his diary.
On this page, Eike's writing style shifts, becoming much more lively, as if emerging from the gloom.
[After thinking about it, this is actually a good opportunity. I can get close to Linda now, let her realize how outstanding I am, and then I can toy with her to my heart's content.]
I found Linda in a run-down restaurant. Who's that blonde beauty next to him? And that bear is so big? Our attributes overlap!
Before leaving, I gave Linda some gold coins; she'll definitely remember my kindness.
[Lia was in a bad mood and beat up Chrona, who was playing games late at night. Neither of them spoke to each other at the dinner table. The whole team was in a tense atmosphere, and everyone had a headache.]
[After eating the dumplings Leah cooked, my eyes were opened. I laughed heartily.]
[The Phoenix Flower Adventure Team has reached level 20 and is preparing to hold a promotion party. The opportunity has arrived.]
Chicken soup is here!
Oh no, I messed it up!
No wonder Linda's pants are so big!
I wasn't mentally prepared, and Leah got the better deal.
Fortunately, Leah was a coward too.
Ugh, I was forced to fake a confession! And I got rejected, becoming Xueyan's laughingstock. How awful!
Linda shook her head with amusement. If it weren't for Lulu's help that day, she would have been in danger.
Turning to the next page, the date was quite long; several dozen days had passed since Aiko stopped writing in her diary.
I guess he was too embarrassed to write it.
The page in front of him had a lot of text, suggesting that Ai Ke might have a new idea.
After returning from the Phoenix Flower Advancement Party, I often wondered if it really was a lie.
In the Secret Realm Plaza, when the Black Mamba City adventurer Mingli attacked Linda, he swallowed his pride and sought help from Bovis.
I'm afraid that Xueyan and her friends weren't the only ones who were deceived.
The real clown,
They even deceive themselves.
Gradually, the diary turned to the last page.
There were still pages after that, but they were all blank.
This page contains only a few short paragraphs.
It must be disgusting to be liked by such a twisted and rotten person like yourself. I won't bother you anymore.
To Linda,
I hate you, Ico.
Now I've finished reading the entire diary.
Linda's gaze lingered on the last page, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
At first, Eko just wanted to tease him and get revenge on him.
Just like the platinum achievement trophy in a game, Iko would feel uneasy if she didn't get it.
But as time went on, it became more than just an "achievement trophy".
If the confession at the advancement party was Ai's way of making up for the failure of her motivational speech plan, it was a lie.
The last page of the diary is a heartfelt monologue.
An adventurer named Echo always "hated" him.
Even this diary left in the suitcase might be part of a "revenge".
Linda now knows perfectly well the real reason behind Ai Ke's retirement.
If a game is too difficult, and there is no hope of completing it.
They had no choice but to give up and leave White Dove City, this heartbreaking place.
The reason for giving up was not that the game was no longer fun.
If the difficulty were lowered a bit, Ico would be happy to rejoin the game.
"Giving up adventure and wanting to live a peaceful and ordinary life is your biggest lie, isn't it?" Linda muttered to herself.
A sharp blade appeared in my mind, severing all the chaotic thoughts.
I have a very clear understanding of what I need to do.
Besides his own entries, the diary also contains many entries about Leah and Chrona. Most of them are ramblings and complaints, criticizing the two of them to the point of being worthless.
But the writing is light and lively, and warm and harmonious scenes leap off the page.
Linda guessed that Ai Ke had a smile on her face when she wrote these diary entries.
Every sentence was a complaint about how terrible the Snow Goose Adventure Team was.
But Aiko had no idea.
In fact, she had long regarded Xueyan as her home.
Eiko's true home is not the Holy Rock.
It's not a phoenix tail flower either.
It's the Snow Goose Adventure Team!
Bang.
Suddenly, a small pebble flew from below and hit the window in front of Linda's desk with a crisp sound.
Linda raised an eyebrow; this scene seemed familiar.
I opened the window and looked downstairs.
