Eina continued, "According to Hermes' description, that monster might be a descendant of a monster that came out in ancient times, but we don't know when it fell into a deep sleep outside Orario."

“That monster has incredibly high defense.” Eina’s tone became serious. “According to the god Hermes, it would take at least two level 5 adventurers working together and continuously attacking the same point to have any chance of breaking through its shell.”

"This is so tricky?" Niz's wolf ears perked up.

“The most troublesome thing isn’t its defense.” Eina shook her head, turning to the second page of the document, which contained a sketch of the monster drawn by Hermes himself, along with a description of its abilities.

"This monster, which Hermes called the 'Rotting Tortoise,' had many fleshy, tumor-like buds growing on its shell."

"Once an adventurer gets close, it will release these flower buds, which will burst open and contain thousands of tiny insects that will frantically attack all living things around them."

"Even more deadly is that these flower buds are extremely unstable and will immediately explode violently if attacked in any way."

"The explosion was very powerful. Multiple explosions at once would be enough to injure any nearby LV3 adventurers, making it impossible for them to get close."

Alexie frowned deeply. "So, to kill the monster, we have to get close, but once we get close, we'll be overwhelmed by poisonous insects. And if we try to clear the flower buds before the insects appear, it will cause an explosion?"

“Yes,” Eina affirmed, “Therefore, cooperation among the various clans is essential.”

Eina solemnly handed over the commission to Alexie, then hurriedly took her leave and headed to the next family.

For the Astrea Familia, who uphold justice, this mission to protect Orario is naturally their bounden duty.

"Damn it!" Alexie slammed her fist in frustration. "Of all times, she had to get hurt!"

Lynn looked at her and said, "You both have impact injuries. Although you are recovering under Maru's treatment, it will take one to two days to fully heal."

He glanced at Laila and Niz, who were equally unwilling to give up, and continued, "If we act recklessly now, firstly, we won't be able to exert our full fighting power on the battlefield, and secondly, we'll easily get injured again."

"When the new injuries come together with the old ones, it won't be a matter of just a day or two to recover."

He paused, then added half-jokingly, "Don't all come to my and Kaguya's wedding wrapped in bandages in a few days."

Alexie only complained a little. She understood that Lynn from "705U.COM" was right. She accepted the arrangement with slight reluctance and stayed at the base to recuperate with the wounded, including Lyra and Niz.

The human warrior Noin stayed behind to take care of them, while Iska and Aste stayed behind to take on night patrol duties.

The rest of the group—Lynn, Kaguya, Ryu, Haruhime, and Leyana—rode together in a carriage towards the city gate.

At this moment, in Orario, groups of adventurers could be seen gathering everywhere on the streets, all discussing the urgent quest.

As the carriage drove out of the city gate, Lynn and the others saw several giant shadows with outstretched wings streak across the sky.

“Those are small dragon mounts of the Ganesha Familia,” Kaguya explained. “They’re much faster than our carriage.”

She said with a hint of envy, "It's a pity that our clan doesn't have any beast tamers, otherwise we would definitely keep a few."

Lynn nodded. "Indeed, flying is always faster than running."

at this time,

Kaguya suddenly looked at him meaningfully and asked, "What did you see in the bathroom just now?"

What did you see?

How could I say that?!

Lynn immediately pretended not to understand and looked away into the distance.

"Stop playing dumb." Kaguya's voice turned slightly colder. "You had thirty seconds before you ran out of the bathroom."

"You did make a slight head-shaking motion at the time."

"What exactly did you see?"

Chunji and Leyana also turned their curious gazes over.

"Oh dear! I'm a little sleepy." Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Lynn drooped her eyelids, yawned, then tilted her head and leaned against the car wall, falling asleep in a second.

No matter how much Kaguya pushed him, he didn't budge and just kept sleeping.

Kaguya had no choice but to turn around and see Ryu, who was still somewhat absent-minded, standing beside her.

She noticed that Liu had been in a daze ever since she got on the bus.

Kaguya went up and lightly punched Ryu on the head.

"Stupid elf!"

Ryu covered her head and looked at Kaguya blankly.

Kaguya sat down next to Ryu and said, "We're about to fight, are you still thinking about the bathroom?"

Upon hearing the word "bathroom," Liu's cheeks flushed bright red, a rare occurrence for her.

She quickly waved her hand, "No, I just..."

"Just what?" Kaguya interrupted her directly, "Just letting Lynn buy potato balls for a month is really too cheap for him."

Ryu shook her head, but before she could say anything, Kaguya said something surprising;

"How about we just let Lynn marry you too?"

"cough!"

Startled by these words, Lynn, who was pretending to be asleep, choked slightly and coughed lightly. She then forced her eyes closed and continued to maintain steady breathing.

Kaguya glanced at Lynn but ignored him; she knew, of course, that he was pretending to be asleep.

However, Lynn was very puzzled.

What is Kaguya doing? Is she testing her?

Ryu was just as dumbfounded, staring blankly at Kaguya, completely bewildered by what she was saying.

Kaguya put her arm around Ryu's shoulder, giving him an "I know" look. "Alissie told me everything. She said you like Lynn."

The onlookers, Chunji and Leyana, immediately shifted their gazes from Lynn to Ryu.

Liu panicked and quickly protested, "No! Alexie is just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously!"

“What’s all this talk about whether it’s true or false?” Kaguya’s tone turned serious. “If you ask me, you should all just marry Lynn.”

Lynn, who was pretending to be asleep, was even more surprised.

What's wrong with Kaguya? Has she gone crazy from some kind of shock today?

Leyana couldn't help but ask, "Kaguya, what are you saying?"

Chunji, on the other hand, looked at Lynn, who was pretending to be asleep, and smiled, thinking that it would be wonderful if she could really marry Lord Lynn.

Kaguya glanced at everyone, her expression more serious than ever before. "I'm telling the truth."

“Originally, I had no intention of getting married,” she said, as if lost in some kind of memory, “but this bastard just suddenly appeared, and the wedding is in a few days. It all feels so unreal….”

Kaguya spoke slowly, as if telling a story: "You know, in my hometown, men often have several wives. Actually, this phenomenon also exists in Orario."

Ryu looked up at Kaguya and said softly, "This... Alisha also told me, but at the time, I was really just envious of how happy you two seemed, and I didn't have any other thoughts."

“Yes! That’s exactly what I wanted to say!” Kaguya’s gaze swept over everyone in the car. “You’ll all get married someday, right?”

"I wouldn't say all, but most people would. Don't let Niz's tomboyish personality fool you, she definitely would."

"As for Astay, as long as someone can feed her and beat her, she'll definitely marry him."

"Maru, and you, Leyana, don't you both hope to find a handsome and powerful human adventurer in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Leyana didn't know what to say, so she immediately pretended to be focused on looking at the scenery outside the window.

Kaguya continued, "Alyssa isn't sure, but I think she will in the end. So, count them, how many are there?"

“After you get married, unless you change your religion and leave, other men will move into our camp.”

"So what happens in the bathroom today will happen frequently in the future."

"Unless we change the layout of the residence again in version 4.0, and after marriage, each family will live separately so that their private lives do not disturb each other."

"But to be honest, then we wouldn't be the close partners we are now."

Kaguya's voice lowered, carrying a hint of barely perceptible vulnerability;

“In your hearts, your husbands may be equated with your companions, or even… greater than your companions.”

“I admit that my thinking is narrow-minded, but that’s how I feel.”

She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and looked intently at everyone.

"Instead of letting outsiders in and changing everything, why don't you all just marry Lynn!"

“He was our companion to begin with, and he will be your husband in the future. We will still be as close companions and sisters as we are now, and nothing will change.”

"That's wonderful!"

Kaguya's statement left Ryu speechless.

She stammered, "But...but..."

"But what?" Kaguya interrupted her abruptly.

"This is just my opinion."

"Whether you like this guy or not is none of my business."

Kaguya's gaze swept over everyone in the car, her tone extremely serious.

"In short, I just hope that our Astrea Familia will never be separated, and that no one else will ever dilute or weaken the bond between us."

“Of course,” she glanced at Lynn, who was pretending to be asleep, “that bastard was an accident.”

"But, but..."

After saying that, Kaguya moved her body and came directly in front of Lynn.
