Chapter 204
When he wakes up every morning, he sees the sunrise.
And Shona watching the sunrise.
He had no idea when Shona woke up, so how could he possibly wake up earlier than her? !
Even if I secretly take out the mechanical alarm clock hidden in the ring, there is nothing I can do!
"I saw you writing me the 'Letter from W' as soon as I got up. I always felt that you had some evil intentions, so I waited for you here."
She said it lightly, but Will knew she should have guessed.
The fact that I wanted to leave without saying goodbye...
"...Forget it, pack your things and let's set off first. The president of the Adventurers Association will be here to open for business soon."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will followed Shona as she walked down the street like a kid who made a mistake and grabbed the bag.
The sun was facing away from them - the capital was located in the central and western part of the Entak Empire. If he wanted to go to the capital, he would have to walk west to where there was a road and get on the bus.
But... Will was not in the mood to think about how far he would have to walk. He looked at Xiuna's back, wondering what Xiuna was going to do.
Shona carried all his luggage on her back. She was indeed very strong and could easily lift even two people's luggage.
However, looking at his back illuminated by the sun and wearing the same sweatshirt, she suddenly stopped.
"If you go out from here, you'll be out of the village."
Located in the town of Cemat, halfway up the mountain, outside the entrance of the village is a winding mountain road that stretches down to the far end of the river at the end of the sun.
It's just sunrise now, and you can see the light on the river.
"Shuna...?"
"If you are alone, you have to be careful on this road, but now you have no problem dealing with ordinary bandits, right?"
"Um."
Will felt something was wrong...
"Also, don't underestimate Treya too much. As I said before, I always feel like you and her are not getting married, but like you and she are equally matched on both sides of the chessboard - since it's a chess match, then you have to Be careful, you are not always in control of the situation, right?"
"Don't worry about saying such profound things. Last time... I was just caught off guard because I didn't expect this. This time, I have already anticipated it and nothing will happen."
"Um……"
Xiuna confirmed softly, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally asked——
"So, am I the biggest obstacle in the 'destiny' you dream of?"
"...?!"
When did she know this?
No, no, it was actually very obvious.
Will lowered his head, trying to avoid her gaze.
He didn't want to talk about this.
after all……
The one who regarded the "protagonist" as the enemy was the only one from beginning to end. Shona took him so far, protected him in the dungeon, and rescued him from Leah.
He couldn't say words like "You were the protagonist in my dream that I had painstakingly tried to torture."
"No need to explain. You have been avoiding saying something, I can tell it right away."
Shona in front of her put down her hood and let the wind blow her long hair away.
She faced the sun, and Will could clearly see the slightly red corners of her eyes.
Speaking of which...
When leaving with her, we also watched the sunrise on the train.
Will seemed to feel some subtle feelings from Shona at this moment.
It's not that he, who stands in the "gay friend position", is regarded as a "gay friend", but as...
"Then, captain of Qiming Star, go and bring back the princess of our team - just don't kill yourself."
She sighed and handed the luggage to Will, placing it heavily in his hand.
"If we meet next time, I will tell you a story about the past. You must live well until then."
She patted Will on the shoulder and passed him.
"But, you already think of me as such a person. If you are caught again this time, I won't rescue you, right?"
Chapter 234 Treya in Javik Town (3)
boom--
In the underground city "Frenzy" near the town of Yavik, there were dense explosions that resounded in the ears.
"Huh... Okay, it's done. You can continue to charge. The thunder in front should not be triggered."
Yiel maintained the "Su Bing Formation" and let the melee swordsmen of White Castle advance upward.
"Thank you."
Pevlan led the charge first.
"Let's talk first, Yi'er is also eager to save people, not your team..."
"It's done, boss! This little maid is too powerful. This is a trick that I have never seen other Holy Shield warriors use."
"This kind of mines usually have to be cleared by the Holy Shields physically. This reduces a lot of risks."
"All right."
Yiel followed White Castle to investigate the whereabouts of Shona and Will in Yavik Town, but after only one day of investigation, she encountered an adventure team trapped in the nearby "Fanatical" dungeon.
So, she followed White Castle on the first rescue team mission.
This mission was unexpectedly easy. White Castle is indeed an S-level team. The overall layout and individual strength are very strong, almost overwhelming all the previous floors and mini-boss rooms.
——Of course, I almost caught up with the young master, huh.
Then……
After encountering a "mine array", which is probably what often appears in explosive dungeons, with no monsters but layers of explosives on the ground, Pevlan asked Yiel to try to show off his skills.
She showed her hand!
Let them see how powerful the Su Bing array taught by the young master is. Praise the young master!
However……
After the strategy is over...
"Yiel is the hero this time! If the mines were cleared one by one, the adventure team on the other side would probably be out of breath."
"Iel's magic is indeed very powerful. It's hard to tell that an orc maid can do it."
"You eat as hard as you can today, and the Adventurers Association will pay us."
At the celebration banquet, everyone was praising themselves.
"My young master taught me everything. Whether it's the ancient magic called 'Su Bing Array' or the knowledge of mine clearance, my young master taught me step by step."
but……
She was quite happy.
Perhaps it was because they had been abandoned since childhood - it was common among half-orcs to abandon cubs that seemed to be in poor health.
Therefore, she was very worried that she was the one holding back the most in Qiming Star. Although the young master had been telling her that she persisted in exercising and "Three Hundred Questions of Darkness", and now she was the one closest to his goal!
"Speaking of which, I've wanted to ask for a long time..."
Pevlan held the wine glass and kept circling it, then looked at Yiel.
Yi'er was glanced at, and her ears stood up subconsciously.
"Ask...ask Yiel?"
"That's right. You followed us to find your young master, and then...it seems that your young master taught you everything, and he is the captain of the team...so..."
Pevlan scratched her head, seeming to be debating whether she should say this or not.
"Who is your young master?"
"..."
Yi'er was stunned for a moment, then raised her ears higher.
Yes, yes, yes, yes? !
She rummaged through all the conversations in her brain about her meeting with White Castle, and she really never mentioned Will's identity - because she defaulted to the fact that there were missing person notices all over the country, and everyone knew that he was her young master. .
"Yes...yes..."
Yiel blushed, raised her hand carefully, and pointed at the missing person notice posted behind Pevlan.
The painting is so handsome, he must be the young master!
"Where is he?"
"..."
"………………"
"ah!?"
Then, a burst of disbelieving exclamations broke out at the wine table.
"Wait a minute, Yiel, your 'young master' is actually Will from the System family?"
"Hehe, yes."
——Wow, it turns out that the young master is so famous——That’s right, he is the best young master in the System family!
"Oh? That Will, who came out to play Adventure Team just because he had money after graduation, impressed me."
——Hmm...Why does this sentence sound wrong?
"The young master is very serious about the adventure team. Our adventure team has been conquering dungeons to earn points, and he has never disclosed his identity to the public!"
"He's still a super soft-boiled guy who hugged the Ninth Princess' lap, right? Look at how obsessed he is with the princess. We're looking for him all over the country."
——Eh...Why does the young master still have this impression outside? !
"Young Master, you have helped Your Highness Treya a lot. In fact, even her Entak swordsmanship was taught by the young master!"
"Looking at this missing person notice, I always feel that he is really an extraordinary person. It would be great if I could get to this level one day..."
--Um! The young master is such an extraordinary person!
"——When I was traveling with an S-class beautiful girl adventurer, I was also chased by the half-elf Ninth Princess. This life is worth it."
--ah? What to say! Is this the only thing about the young master that makes people envious? !
"Also, there is the little maid who has been worried about him——!"
Yi'er completely - completely understood what kind of strange misunderstandings the young master faced!
It's really irritating.
But...it's no wonder that the young master doesn't want to care about these public opinions anymore. For him, rebuttals like this are useless, right?
After all, with strange titles such as "the most vulnerable young master of the System family" and "fiancé of Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess", it is difficult for people to have a positive impression of him.
"And... the young master is not the person you say he is -!"
……but? Why did the chatter... stop?
Yi'er raised her head and realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere on the table.
After she finished saying this, the chatter fell completely silent, and everyone turned their heads to look at Yi Aier.
Wait wait wait...
