They're not even human anymore; those wicked women can cry even more miserably.

As Char approached her, Sistine, though still expressionless, seemingly unintentionally changed direction and walked away.

He seemed to be doing it unintentionally, but he avoided making eye contact with Char.

Even to escape from Char's sight.

Once was an accident, twice was a coincidence, but when this happened a third time, Xia knew that she was avoiding him.

What happened last night was still somewhat unacceptable to Sistine.

She didn't know how to face him, so she decided to just run away.

Char Aznable intended to break this deadlock.

The project had only just begun, and he didn't want it to end so soon.

But just as he was walking toward Sistine, she turned and went off to patrol elsewhere.

She kept glancing at Xia Ya's figure out of the corner of her eye, her heart pounding and her body tense.

What happened last night, and how he saw her biggest secret, made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

After everyone set off, she kept walking around in circles.

Char finally found an opportunity and cornered Sistine, leaving her with no way to escape.

Char stepped forward, about to speak to Sistine.

Sistine certainly noticed Char's approach.

She felt a little awkward at that moment and didn't want to have any conversation with him.

But looking around, there seemed to be nowhere that would make it easy for him to leave.

For a moment, Sistine was actually a little nervous.

Will she just walk away?

Or should we find some excuse?

However, just as Sistine was in a panic, an excited shout came from not far ahead.

"I've found the goblin's lair!"

Chapter 97: The Goblin Kingdom Falls, the storyline begins ahead of schedule, but... (8k)

Sistine immediately perked up her ears, exuding a serious aura, and rushed past Char towards the source of the sound.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

If someone hadn't just happened to find the goblin's lair at that moment, Sistine really wouldn't know how to face Char.

But now that things are progressing, she has an excuse to run away.

Thinking this, Sistine quickened her pace.

A young girl stood at the entrance of the cave, where three goblins were already lying.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw the Sword Saintess leading a group of girls towards him.

"found it?"

Sistine's voice was soft.

"Ok!"

The girl's face lit up with excitement, but her eyes held a hint of disgust.

This aversion is directed at goblins.

Not only her, but all the girls felt disgusted by these evil and dark monsters.

This stems from an innate aversion; one wishes they could be completely eradicated.

Before Sistine could even observe her surroundings, she stepped into the goblin's lair.

"Let's go, clean it up!"

The voice was crisp and clear, indicating a somewhat hurried departure.

In no time, all the girls followed suit.

With Sistine leading the team, they were all quite excited.

On the one hand, the presence of strong senior female students leading the team made them feel very safe.

There is also a sense of righteous mission to fight against evil.

On the other hand, it's because this is their trial mission.

Completing a task always brings joy.

As the group ventured deeper into the area, all the goblins they encountered were wiped out.

The goblins, who were not particularly strong in combat, were completely powerless against the excellent young girls.

Soon, the group had completely wiped out the goblin's lair.

The freshmen's first trial mission has come to a successful conclusion, and everyone is already preparing to leave.

The atmosphere in the crowd relaxed, and Oboro turned his head, wanting to say something to Char.

However, at this very moment, a sudden change occurred!

The ground began to shake, mud and sand collapsed from the top of the nest, and the ground beneath their feet cracked inch by inch.

In the blink of an eye, the entire ground collapsed!

In the chaos, the girls screamed in alarm.

The moment his foot slipped, Xia had a bad feeling.

As he was falling, he felt two hands reach out from his left and right at the same time, catching him.

Therefore, a few people fell and cried out in pain upon landing.

But Char stood there perfectly fine.

He turned to look at Oboro on his left. She was looking at Xia Ya with a worried expression, examining him, and gently brushing the dust off his shoulders with her other hand.

"Master, are you okay?"

This is normal.

Char turned his head to look to the right.

Violet was also supporting Xia, a hint of panic and worry flashing deep in her eyes.

This is a classic hero saving a damsel in distress scenario?

So there are still two?

At this moment, the two of them were standing close to Xia, each holding one of his hands on either side.

On the left is a gentle and affectionate little follower, while on the right is a cold and noble silver-haired princess, her soft and fair hands tightly gripping Xia's arm.

Oboro brushed the dust off Char's left shoulder, then moved on to his right shoulder.

Suddenly, their eyes met.

The succubus princess's gaze moved from Violet's face down to the hand she was using to support Xia, then returned to Violet's face, her eyes becoming meaningful.

Although she didn't say anything, her eyes conveyed a thousand words.

For some reason, Violet suddenly felt a little guilty.

The words that Dango had said to me came to mind.

"Actually, you like him, don't you?"

Do I like Char?

What a joke!

Violet's gaze fell on the hand she was supporting Xia, and as if burned, she immediately shook off his hand, even showing a look of disgust on her face.

"Ahem, I was just protecting my classmates, so I protected the one closest to me."

Violet raised her chin, attempting to explain in a way that only served to obscure the truth.

His eyes darted around, as if he was observing his surroundings.

But Char had no time to pay attention to her veiled words.

He surveyed the cavern hidden beneath the goblin's lair. It was vast; they were in a wide, interconnected cavern with countless entrances.

I glanced at one of them at random; it seemed bottomless.

It's like an underground kingdom!

This was not a simple accidental collapse.

Char's deep affection began to turn solemn.

Before coming here yesterday, he specifically confirmed the location with Ella, thinking that he wouldn't encounter the major event in the story.

But looking at the current situation, things are likely to develop in the worst possible direction!
