After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Lin Da, Lin Xi, Aiko, and Klrona, why did you choose to join Snow Goose instead of another adventure team?

Lin Da thought there must be the influence of 'Flames,' the burning passion for adventure within Lia, which can also be colloquially understood as—the Ultimate King of Hustle!

Lia was diligent in her training, and whenever she made her efforts to climb the World Tree, she incited anxiety among the lazy adventurers, who were then influenced by her to train together.

Lia's hustling flame, her burning passion, dispelled Lin Da's initial confusion in this strange world and was resolutely pulled into the Adventurers' Guild by the 15-year-old girl at that time.

Even though Lia has turned out to have a terrible personality now, Lin Da couldn't deny that at the beginning of their adventure, she was a fledgling and vigorous flame that could attract bewildered adventurers like moths to a flame.

"Sit down, it's almost half repaired."

Lin Da saw Lia tilt her little head, looking at him with confusion. He didn't respond to what Lia had just hinted at with 'just that much,' repeatedly bringing up things that can't be brought back only causes them to fade.

"Done."

Three minutes later, Lin Da put away the needle and thread, satisfied with the stretchiness of the strap on the back of Lia's dress. It was very elastic and didn't break despite a few tugs; it would definitely withstand the day without issues.

Lia sat on the toilet seat without getting up, her back to him, and whispered, "Lin Da, about today... uh, that... thanks. And, umm..."

Like constipation where one can't poop, Lia's face turned red with the strain.

"No need to thank me, just don't cause trouble for Phoenix Tail Flower and I'll be grateful," Lin Da said.

"Aside from thanks..." Lia clenched her eyes shut fiercely and blurted out in one breath, "This lady, I also owe you an apology."

Lin Da: "?"

Could it be that someone held a knife to Lia's neck, and she had to apologize or else they would cut her?

This is as likely as the sun rising from the west!

After waiting a moment, and seeing that Lia was stuck like a broken record, Lin Da reminded her, "Weren't you going to apologize?"

Lia: "?"

"Didn't I just say it?"

Lin Da was dumbfounded.

So this is an apology?

Sigh.

He sighed, realizing that getting someone like Lia to sincerely and seriously apologize was probably impossible.

"This lady attended your promotion party, actually for another reason," Lia said: "Have you found any traces of Lin Xi?"

Lin Da frowned and thought for a while, and decided that it was necessary to tell Lia about Lin Xi.

During their time in Snow Goose, Lia could be said to have been Lin Xi's best friend, so she had the right to know about Lin Xi's changes.

Choosing what could be shared, Lin Da slightly sanitized the process of discovering clues about Lin Xi.

After listening, Lia's face was incredulous: "Succubus? You're saying Lin Xi turned into a succubus! That's definitely disgusting, isn't it? Lin Xi was already quite lecherous, now she must be even more so!"

Lin Da gave a forced smile, alright, alright, speaking ill of Lin Xi's lustfulness in front of him, huh? Only Lia would have the emotional intelligence to do such a thing.

He tentatively explained, "High-Class Succubi have much more self-control than normal succubi."

"Oh... well, that's a relief." Lia clenched her fists and declared, "The 20th floor, huh... Lin Da, don't you worry, I will make it there and personally take down Lin Xi, to bring her back here!"

Lia and Lin Xi's battle record remained at 99 wins and 99 losses.

She would use the 100th victory to wake Lin Xi up!

"The clothes are also repaired now, you should leave quickly, lest if you're gone too long, you get discovered," Lin Da patted Lia on the shoulder.

"Oh..."

Before leaving, Lia bit her lip and said shyly, "One last question for you.

"What is it?"

"You... that... um..." Your next read is at empire

"Forget it—It's nothing!"

Lia dashed out of the restroom in a whoosh and disappeared as if she had flown away.

Lin Da scratched his head in surprise; the restroom door in front of him was shaking violently, and the hinges were even slightly cracked.

What on earth did she want to say?

After a brief delay, Lin Da slowly returned to the hall.

The party was coming to an end.

He gave a brief speech, and most of the adventure teams with casual relationships said their goodbyes, leaving only some familiar faces behind to continue the fun.

Lin Da helplessly surveyed the hall, which was quite a mess.

After the dance, everyone discarded their champagne glasses in favor of wheat beer mugs bigger than their faces, all getting wildly drunk.

Lin Da found Kafni fast asleep under a table; Kafni's clothes in front of her were soaked with wheat beer and clung wetly to her. Everything that should and shouldn't be seen was exposed.

Isa, usually so proper and composed, was now drunkenly standing on a table, holding a mug of wheat beer, her face flushed and hiccupping as people around her clapped and cheered her on.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Isa saw Lin Da passing by, she laughed heartily like a bandit and pointed at him, saying, "Members of the Ice Flower team, don't let him get away!"

Lin Da broke into a sweat and quickly slipped upstairs.

Isa usually seemed so refined, he hadn't expected her to be such a poor drinker!

Oh well, as long as these people don't tear down the villa, let them make their noise.

Lin Da shook his head, intending to go back to his room to read a book, to enjoy some peace and quiet.

But clearly, his plan was foiled the moment the girl, who was obviously waiting to block him, appeared in the second-floor corridor.

"Aiko?"

The golden-haired girl sitting quietly in a wheelchair by the window, basking in the sunlight, was none other than the [Holy Mage] Aiko.

The warm midday sunlight fell on Aiko's golden hair and white dress, creating a tranquil beauty as if all was quiet in the world.

A gentle smile appeared on Aiko's face as she waved her hand slightly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Her left hand gently caressed the silver Space Ring on her right index finger.

Aiko's eyes flickered, bringing out Klrona as a shield to hide her real intentions: "Lin Da, Klrona has something important to tell you, okay?"
