A crossover anime/manga series, starting with Kaguya's fiancé.

"However, I accept the challenge proposed by Kaguya-san."

This statement surprised many people.

"Lord Lynn!" Chunji was so anxious she was about to cry. She couldn't understand why he would agree to such an unreasonable request.

Alexandra whistled, looking Lynn up and down with great interest, her eyes full of admiration.

"You've got guts, kid!"

The most surprised person was none other than Kaguya herself.

She thought Lynn would take advantage of the opportunity provided by the goddess and delay the matter.

I never expected him to agree so readily.

"are you serious?"

“Of course.” Lynn’s tone was completely calm. “However, as Goddess Astraea said, it is getting late, so let’s set the competition for tomorrow morning.”

Lynn smiled.

He was certainly not a reckless man; he agreed after careful consideration.

He has now reached a 90% proficiency level in the [Strong Wind] skill.

You might be able to max out your proficiency overnight and then receive a new reward.

in case,

Or, just in case, the new reward is more impressive.

Then you'll have this wife in your hands, right?

If it's still about abilities like running, then a true man can bend and stretch, so I'll accept it!

Astraea gave Lynn a deep look, her smile softening even more.

"it is good."

"Since you've all made up your minds, let's do it this way."

"Layla, take Lynn and the other two to the guest room to rest."

"Yes! Goddess Astraea!" The little girl quickly responded, leading Lynn and the worried Chunji toward the guest room.

Watching Lynn's departing figure, Alexie wrapped her arms around Kaguya's neck and whispered something in her ear with a mischievous grin.

"Kaguya, your fiancé seems rather interesting."

Kaguya pushed away Alisha's hand; "I didn't expect the righteous leader to be so gossipy?"

Alexie, with her hands behind her back, circled around Kaguya, sizing her up and down, teasing her as she said, "I never expected that our Yamato Rindou would have a fiancé, hahaha!"

Kaguya retorted, annoyed, "Captain, how about we have a match first?"

When the two were playfully fighting

The goddess Astraea called Liu aside and whispered something to him;

"Ryu, if Kaguya isn't looking tonight, go find Lynn and tell him this..."

The image shows Astraea.

5. Wasn't he trying to run away?

Inside the guest room,

The goddess Astraea thoughtfully had food delivered to her.

After eating and drinking her fill, Chunji returned to her room with a heavy heart.

Lynn lay on the bed, closing her eyes to rest.

Not long after, a soft knocking sounded on the door.

Who?

Lynn opened the door in confusion, and standing outside was the blonde elf, Ryu, and Leon.

Her expression was aloof, but Lynn could understand; elves are all like that.

“Mr. Lynn,” Ryu’s voice was flat.

"The goddess Astraea sent me to tell you this."

"Kaguya always takes competitions very seriously. Even if the goddess suppresses her adventurer level, you still have no chance of winning."

"Her years of combat experience are not something an ordinary person like you can handle."

Liu paused for a moment, then handed over a small money pouch.

"This is the money the goddess prepared for you."

"You can leave under the cover of night tonight. The goddess will communicate with Kaguya about the engagement and give you an explanation."

Lynn looked at the money bag she handed him, reached out her hand, but instead of taking it, she pushed it away.

"Thank you for your kindness, Goddess. I appreciate it."

He shook his head slightly, and the back of his hand accidentally touched Liu's fingers.

Ryu's body stiffened instantly.

She hated being touched by men, but this time, the expected aversion did not occur.

She was somewhat taken aback.

why?

Liu withdrew her hand without making a sound, and also took back the money pouch.

Lynn did not notice Liu's unusual behavior and continued, "I will still participate in tomorrow's competition."

Liu raised her eyes, a hint of confusion in her clear gaze; "Why? You have no chance of winning, it's pointless."

"How will you know it's pointless if you don't try? What do you think?" Lynn smiled.

"Good luck then."

Liu stared at him for a few seconds, then simply nodded, turned and left, quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor.

Once the food in his stomach had been mostly digested, Lynn pushed open the door, crossed the courtyard, and headed straight for the gate.

Just then, Lyra, the little girl who was on night watch, came out for some fresh air while yawning.

She spotted the figure immediately.

It's Lynn.

Where is he going?

A thought flashed through Lyra's mind in an instant.

Run away!

A hint of disappointment flashed in Leila's eyes. Sure enough, this kind of man of unknown origin was unreliable.

only……

He actually ran off all by himself! What happened to that fox-girl named Chunji? He just abandoned her like that?

A wave of disdain washed over Leila, but she quickly realized it was for the best.

Chun-hime is so cute and pitiful. If she stays, the goddess and everyone will take good care of her.

It's better than being with such an irresponsible man.

Just as Leila was about to turn around and tell everyone about this "expected" result, she froze.

Lynn did not leave the house.

He paused briefly at the entrance, and then... began running along the outer wall of the clan's settlement.

"Eh?"

Leila rubbed her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

Is he trying to run away?

What was he doing?

Running around the house?

This strange behavior completely overwhelmed Lyra's sleepiness with curiosity, and she hid in the shadows to observe.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

Lynn moved at a steady pace, his breathing even, as if he never tired.

Leila was completely baffled. She quickly ran back to the camp and told her companions, who were still awake, about the strange occurrence.

"What? That kid is running around our base?"

The first to exclaim was the group leader, Alexie. She pushed open the window and, sure enough, saw the figure running at a steady pace in the moonlight.

"Hahahaha! Is this some kind of secret cultivation technique he's using? Is he preparing for a competition? But what's the point of running?"

Beside her stood a front-row warrior with waist-length hair, while the dwarf Astaire looked utterly bewildered.

"Does he... have something wrong with his head?"

Another healer, Maru, whose heart was no less than that of a goddess, rested her chin on her hand, her eyes filled with contemplation.

"No, look at his rhythm, it's very steady, it doesn't seem like a random whim."

"Perhaps this really is some kind of special exercise method from his hometown?"

The commotion by the window also attracted Liu, who had just finished washing up.

She walked to the window and quietly watched the running figure.

She remembered what she had said to Lynn.

"You have no chance of winning."

I also remembered Lynn's answer.

"How will you know it's pointless if you don't try?"
