As an S-class Adventurer of Lin City and the legendary Great Hero, he had been feeling a bit conflicted lately.
Ever since he woke up at Saint Freya Cathedral a few days ago, after a short recovery period, the Hero, now recovered from his serious illness, wanted to gather his team and dive back into the Saint Ruins to show his skills.
He had even had a battle experience and wanted to challenge the Golden Dragon again.
But when assembling the team, he discovered a problem.
The Hero Party, who usually had no tasks and almost never went to the Saint Ruins because they were busy with their own real-life affairs—the Holy Nun Ye Fufu and the Magical Girl Mo Yu, two beautiful young women—had gone to the Saint Ruins together without telling him.
Faced with this situation, as the captain of the team, the Hero honestly felt a bit of a crisis.
As a young man in his prime, he had awakened the Hero ability.
Although the Hero didn’t have the bold idea, like in those novels, of treating the Magical Girl and the Saintess in his party as his harem, but how should he put it?
Being in the same team and similar in age, as a normal boy, facing Ye Fufu and Mo Yu—beautiful young women with outstanding figures and charm—he definitely liked them, more or less.
It was a boy’s instinct; no one wanted the beautiful girls in their team to be snatched away by some other bad guy first!
After worrying for two whole days, this morning, when Ye Fufu and Mo Yu gathered at the meeting point, the Hero first probed indirectly for a while.
When he heard that the two had gone to the Saint Ruins with the younger sister of that “Miss Turtle,” a total of six girls traveling together, the Hero couldn’t help but relax a little.
After all, they were all girls going out together; what could happen between girls?
But just as the Hero was about to let out a sigh of relief, he happened to receive a phone call from the Adventurer Guild about a new exploration mission.
Hearing that there was information about the Demon King’s stone tablet, as the core Adventurer team of Lin City, the Hero party simply discussed it briefly and decided to take on the exploration mission.
But now that they had arrived at Muyang Adventurer’s Guild, the Hero felt terrible.
“Little Qiqi, did you sleep well last night? Your face looks a bit pale. Want me to use a Healing Technique on you?”
“Qi, was Little Red Pupil good last night? I can come to your house tonight to look after her, okay? Or you could leave Little Red Pupil at my place for a few days.”
With the Hero ability, the Hero knew he was naturally hostile to the Dragon Clan.
Almost immediately, the Hero recognized Little Red Pupil as a young dragon.
But looking at the little thing flailing its claws now, the Hero couldn’t help but feel a headache.
According to Ye Fufu’s information, the Golden Dragon had already died, so he couldn’t take revenge.
And now what was the deal with this little one? It didn’t even have full fur, yet it was already attacking him.
What’s more, now he was in front of everyone and couldn’t bully the weak. He couldn’t just bully a baby, could he?
That would be too low-class!
Forget it, I’ll treat it like a spoiled kid.
And while the Hero, with a complicated expression, hugged his arms, feeling the harmless attacks of “Ora ora ora~” from Little Red Pupil, and watching Su Qi and Mo Yu interacting intimately with Ye Fufu,
“Little Red Pupil, stop it now.”
At that moment, a girl’s voice sounded beside the Hero.
As the voice rang out, the Hero felt the little thing that had been attacking him finally stop.
Looking in the direction of the voice, the Hero was taken aback at first, then blurted out,
“Miss Turtle?”
Hearing the Hero’s address, Su Lulu’s fair face darkened, and her peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly.
The next second, she thrust the fierce Little Red Pupil in her arms forward.
Puff
A small fireball was spat out directly.
“Miss Su, it’s Miss Su! I misspoke, misspoke.”
Su Qi, holding Su Xixi, saw the interaction between Little Red Pupil, the Hero, and his sister.
Watching the famous Hero being chased around the hall by Little Red Pupil without fighting back, unlike the Hero’s sense of rivalry toward him, perhaps because he had recently gotten used to being Little Red Pupil’s mother, Su Qi only felt that the Great Hero was truly virtuous.
While admiring the Hero, looking at his sister who was holding Little Red Pupil,
Su Qi couldn’t help but worry about another matter.
His sister Su Lulu, when she woke up at Saint Freya Cathedral, the first person she saw was the Hero. And now she was messing around with Little Red Pupil and the Hero.
As a former boy, even from a boy’s perspective, Su Qi had to admit that the Hero’s appearance and figure were both excellent.
And if things continued like this, if this were a novel, Su Qi felt that his sister would probably end up with the Hero!
Thinking about this, Su Qi, concerned about his sister’s future, asked,
“Th-then, what is the Great Hero’s character like in daily life?”
Because of the previous Wardrobe Incident with Ye Fufu, whenever he looked at the Hero, Su Qi couldn’t help but recall that ambiguous situation.
So as he spoke, a blush crept onto Su Qi’s fair face.
Hearing Su Qi’s question, the three beautiful young women, who had been watching with motherly smiles like they were looking at their children, at first didn’t think much of it. Ye Fufu, as the Hero’s teammate, even comforted him,
“It’s fine. Little Red Pupil’s flames are powerful, but the little one won’t hurt the Hero.”
But when the three looked at Su Qi’s slightly flushed cheeks, their thoughts diverged.
Ye Fufu, a major participant in the Wardrobe Play back then, could tell at a glance that Su Qi’s blush was due to memories.
Seeing this cute Su Qi, Ye Fufu gently licked her delicate lips.
A fun idea popped into her head—maybe she could play again.
Playing in Su Qi’s house this time, under the cover of darkness, seemed pretty good too.
She’d have to order a new soundproof cabinet for her mistress.
Gu Wen Yin and Mo Yu, unaware of the truth, looked at Su Qi’s flushed cheeks.
Although as Su Qi’s childhood friends, both knew that Su Qi actually liked girls, but because the “Hero” was an overly excellent boy, and with the ambiguous blush on Su Qi’s cheeks, the two of them couldn’t help but feel a faint sense of crisis.
Could it be that Xiao Qi / Qi likes the Hero?
No, that can’t be, absolutely not.
While Gu Wen Yin and Mo Yu were thinking about how to make Su Qi not change her feelings, whether they should use some “special” means to remind Su Qi of the beauty of girls,
“Alright, since everyone is here, let’s set off now!”
At this moment, Guild President Nie lightly clapped his hands and gave the call to action.
Seeing this, Su Lulu stopped chasing the Hero, and soon the group stood in front of the Teleportation Array.
Because they had discussed earlier, due to her constitution,
Su Qi wouldn’t go to the Saint Ruins this time.
Watching the Hero’s party, along with Wen Yin and Sister Lulu, step onto the Teleportation Array,
Su Qi, standing outside the array, gently urged like a parent sending their child to elementary school,
“Xixi, Little Red Pupil, you have to listen to the adults, okay?”
As for why the two little ones were going to the Saint Ruins, that had just been discussed.
After all, unlike ordinary human children, both Xixi and Little Red Pupil, being Spirit Beasts, needed to be exposed to the Spiritual Energy of the Saint Ruins.
Besides, the stone tablet might be hidden somewhere, which required Su Xixi’s exploration ability.
Considering the controllability of the Third Plane and the Hero Party’s abilities, since they could take Xixi, they naturally had to take Little Red Pupil, who was close to Xixi.
Nya~ Ook~
Hearing Su Qi’s urging, the two little ones looked very happy.
As if to dispel Su Qi’s unease, they chirped adorably and mimicked Su Qi by waving their little short arms cutely.
This made Su Qi laugh softly.
But just as the Teleportation Array began to glow, right before they were teleported, Su Qi noticed that Elder Sister Wen Yin and Mo Yu’s cheeks were slightly puffed.
The way they looked at her also had a hint of resentment.
In contrast, Ye Fufu’s almond eyes sparkled with excitement.
Seeing this, Su Qi felt a bit confused.
What was going on?
I didn’t provoke anyone just now.
Why is one excited and two angry?
Huh… it really is women’s hearts, like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
After thinking for a while without figuring anything out,
Su Qi unconsciously walked back to the Su family home and looked at the quiet living room.
Suddenly, she thought of another very important thing.
Hey~
Today, her sister was gone, her neighbor Elder Sister Wen Yin was gone, and Xixi and Little Red Pupil had all gone to the Saint Ruins.
Doesn’t that mean she finally had the long-awaited time alone today?
