"A rare talent," was how the Bloody Baron described Linda.
Many skilled commanders can easily pass the first eight levels.
However, passing through easily and without taking damage are two completely different concepts.
If Linda weren't of a low rank, the Crimson Baron would have recruited him.
But Lia thinks Linda is slacking off?
Even though Belline is her mother, she sides with Linda in this matter.
What did her daughter go through during the three years she was away from home to turn the innocent, kind-hearted Leah into the arrogant and conceited person she is today?
Belinne couldn't help but feel puzzled.
suddenly,
She noticed that the clothes Leah was wearing seemed a bit too big. The cuffs were rolled up twice, and the black stockings were also ill-fitting, slightly loose, and had slipped down from the upper thigh to the middle.
Noticing Bellini's strange look, Lia explained, "I bought the wrong size, but it's okay, I'll grow up soon." She had a sullen face, as if she was not very satisfied with her height and some other aspects of herself.
"But how could someone buy the wrong size for their entire outfit?" Mrs. Bellini realized something, her expression changed, and she felt helpless.
When Leah was home, she was always the one who helped her choose clothes. Leah loved swordsmanship since she was a child, and her talent was no less than that of her second brother, Davin, but her self-care ability was worse than that of a child.
Lia frowned and said matter-of-factly, "Buying clothes is a small matter, and the team's logistics staff will handle the bulk purchases. I only need to focus on practicing swordsmanship."
"Uh...so how do you manage your three meals a day?"
"With logistics staff, there's no need to do anything yourself."
"Mom, could you ask who that logistics staff member is...?"
"Linda."
Leah pouted: "He knows he's a low level and can't keep up with us. We do the work when we're exploring the secret realm, so he'll definitely have to do these chores."
Belinne rubbed her forehead, feeling a sense of impending doom.
Her intention was to gently guide Linda, who was in bed, to hear that her daughter knew she was wrong and had repented.
But their cleverness backfired, and they shot themselves in the foot!
Why can't her daughter see the efforts of others?
Which adventurer would willingly buy clothes for their teammates and cook three meals a day for them?
Belline's husband, the Bloodthirsty Baron, was utterly incompetent at cooking. Even when Belline prepared a large meal, meticulously dressed up and made up, ready to give it all away, all she received in return was a slap from the Bloodthirsty Baron!
Excellent adventurers have every reason to be proud; this is a universally acknowledged truth. Even the Bloody Baron, with Linda's exceptional skill in planning strategies, was tempted to recruit her, yet she remained trembling with fear as she worked for the Snow Goose Adventure Team...
Belinne thought that Leah had used her personal charm or sex appeal to keep Linda with her.
The result was... her daughter gave her nothing and demanded that Linda work like a beast of burden.
Your bear may be small, but it's still usable!
Bellini was exasperated, looking at her daughter's stubborn, head-tilted posture, and couldn't resist the urge to slap her. Didn't she see the two beautiful girls next to Linda? If she didn't intervene soon, her teammates might really belong to someone else!
Bellini was so angry that she felt dizzy, and the witch's corruption that she had finally managed to suppress almost flared up again.
I'm totally overwhelmed by my daughter's filial piety!
At that moment, Lia changed the subject.
This gave Bellini a glimmer of hope.
Lia said, "After Linda left the team, I actually found a healer who graduated from the noble academy in White Dove City to lead the team. However, after we went up to the 11th floor, I found that he seemed to be... not as good as Linda."
Recalling Phyllis's terrible leadership skills and comparing her to Linda, Leah hesitated before saying, "Could it be that Linda, this country bumpkin, is better than a graduate of a noble academy?"
Belinne laughed.
That's right, you should praise Linda a lot, then she might change her mind!
Linda is listening to everything you say, right here in her mother's bed!
Bellini remembered the comic books she had read, which had things like "favorability ratings." Maybe right now, Linda's "favorability rating +1" had popped up above her head.
"Daughter, now that you understand, why don't you go apologize to Linda and ask him to come back?"
Belinne smiled and stroked the hammerhead shark's head.
This teammate, Mom has to hold on tight to him for you.
But to my surprise, upon hearing this, Leah jumped to her feet, like a cat with its tail on fire, anger flashing in her eyes:
"It's Linda who withdrew from Xueyan without permission, right? As the captain, why should I apologize to him!"
It's over.
Favorability -100!
Bellini rubbed her temples in anger, glaring at Leah with a hint of maternal authority on her face:
"Have you thought about what the Snow Goose Adventure Team will do next? The losses on the 11th floor must be huge, right? Why don't you go home? The master won't blame you."
“Impossible!” Lia said firmly, “The mistake on the 11th floor was temporary. Phyllis guarantees that she will come up with a better strategy.”
When talking about the defeat on the 11th floor, Leah seemed to have found an outlet for her emotions, and she poured out all the frustrations and grievances she had encountered in the past few days.
Most of them were related to Linda's departure from the team:
"She's like a mother hen in the team, managing everything!"
"We're all working hard, but he's slacking off. He says he's doing strategy planning, but he's probably just worried that we'll be left behind if we push through the levels too fast!"
"The group was all girls, and he was the only guy. I think he stole my clothes!"
The daughter's harsh words made Bellini's expression extremely unpleasant.
