"Lord Chen Hao?"
What's wrong with you?
Just as Chen Hao was racking his brains about how to deal with Freya's situation, he heard Setsuna and Tsukuyomi's voices asking him questions from behind.
Tsukuyomi and Setsuna were also awakened by the noise outside. They looked at Chen Hao by the window, who looked like he had a headache, and wondered what was going on outside.
"You're awake... Perfect timing. I have something to tell you. An acquaintance of mine has come to visit. From now on, you'll have to address me as Master or Lord Kayal. I apologize, but I have to deal with her, so I'm forced to use these terms."
Chen Hao's eyes were fixed on Freya's figure as she walked step by step toward the hotel where he was staying.
"Oh no, is someone coming?! Should we hurry up and get ready?!"
Tsukuyomi exclaimed in surprise, her expression like that of a cat with its fur standing on end. Setsuna was also startled, her wolf ears perking up as she quickly crawled out of bed and rummaged through her clothes.
Clothes were scattered haphazardly across the bed, and a faint, strange smell still lingered in the air.
It's easy to tell at a glance that a major battle once took place here.
"There's no need for that. You two shouldn't move yet. Just leave your clothes on the bed and pretend to be asleep."
Chen Hao turned back and gave the two instructions. He now had a slight idea of what excuse to use to deal with Freya.
"I will personally greet her."
Now it's time for them to show off their acting skills.
Chen Hao quickly walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Good morning, Kyal.
In the corridor on the second floor of the hotel, Freya had already climbed the stairs, greeting him warmly with a sweet smile on her face.
"Um... Good morning, Freya, it's been a long time."
Chen Hao responded to Freya's greeting with apparent ease, but anyone with eyes could see the embarrassment on his face and the tension he was trying to hide.
"It really has been a long time, hasn't it been half a year?"
Freya responded with a sweet smile, taking steps closer to Chen Hao. She was very curious about the embarrassment and nervousness on the face of the man in front of her. Could it be... that there was something here that he couldn't bear to see?
Freya became very interested in this. As she got closer, her heightened sense of smell, which had also increased with her level, allowed her to detect the lingering scent on Chen Hao.
"Speaking of which, where's Sister Kresh? I haven't seen her. Weren't you two traveling together?"
Freya outwardly wore an innocent expression of curiosity, but inwardly, a storm was brewing. What was that smell? Was it the smell of that thing? No way? Could it be...?
Kreeher got hooked up with Kyal and they've already done *that*? No way! Even if he's a bit handsome, Kreeher doesn't seem like the type to be in a relationship at all!
“Kreh… isn’t with me right now. I came here alone.”
Chen Hao began to weave his next sentence in his mind. This was the first lie, and to prevent the lie from being discovered, it was best to also mix in a few truths.
"Huh? Why? Did you and Sister Kreeher have a fight?"
Freya's worried expression seemed to Chen Hao like a tea-loving woman, truly befitting her title as the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Geolar.
"No, this is what happened. When we were hunting in the Monster Forest, we suddenly discovered a large number of demons active in that area. Kreh was worried that they were plotting something that might be detrimental to the kingdom, so he decided to follow them and investigate himself."
"Because I have no combat ability and might be a burden, Kree refused to take me along. To ensure that I would not be attacked by monsters or encounter danger in the Monster Forest, she told me to come to Lanarita first and then come to meet me after she has investigated the situation."
Why wasn't Klein by Chen Hao's side? Under Chen Hao's lies, there seemed to be a reasonable explanation. And through his superb acting skills, he was able to say these things without changing his expression, just like telling the truth.
“I see. I think I understand now. Kreh’s decision is absolutely right. After all, you don’t have much fighting ability. If you get captured during a battle, you will become a burden to Kreh.”
Freya said this, then smiled gently:
"But you don't need to be discouraged, Kyal. After all, your talents are not just for fighting. Your ability and responsibility are to get those who can no longer fight back into the fight."
Chen Hao nodded excitedly and said:
"Yes! I will continue to work hard!"
"We've been talking at the door for so long, can't you let me into your room for a bit, Kyal?"
Freya smiled at him. After hearing this, Chen Hao's eyes darted around, glancing at the door every now and then, his guilty expression quite obvious.
"Uh... isn't that really necessary? Why don't we go downstairs and sit down to talk?"
Chen Hao smiled slightly awkwardly.
"Oh... could it be... that there's something shady going on in Kyal's room?"
With a smile on her face, Freya walked past Chen Hao to the door of the room he had just left, and placed her hand on the doorknob.
"Um...don't open it! Freya!"
Chen Hao followed behind step by step, and when Freya placed her hand on the doorknob, he made a pleading cry.
