Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

Seeing that Liu no longer paid attention to her, Kaguya could only shake her head in disappointment and look away.

The other two also held the same mentality, and turned their heads with an expression of "everything suddenly became dull after a shudder".

Kaguya and the other two didn't know that the next second after they looked away, the skin on the blond elf's cheeks exposed outside the mask instantly turned red, and countless circles appeared in his eyes, and it felt like steam was about to come out of his head.

No, this is bad. I feel like I’m going to faint if I look at that swordsman for a few more seconds.

Turning around quickly, Liu covered his face tightly with the cloak, deeply and vigorously absorbing the fragrance from it, and his mood gradually calmed down.

Liu also found it strange. She would panic whenever she saw that person.

But when you smell this scent that is closely related to the other person, your mood will inexplicably calm down.

But, this behavior of mine...

Loosening the cloak, Liu breathed in the fresh air and looked at the remaining shimmering crystals on it, realizing that they were his own saliva...

Wow!! What a filthy act!

Then, a strong sense of shame came over me!

Feeling like she was about to faint, Liu quickly covered her face and took a deep breath.

then……

Release, shame, breathe, calm down.

Release, shame, breathe, calm down.

On the other side, although Livilia did not scold Noah, she still carefully examined his body.

Not only did Livilia cast a healing spell, she also pinched Noah's chin with one hand and poured a bottle of potion into his mouth with the other hand before finishing.

It should be a punishment. The bitter taste of this tube of potion almost made Noah's soul ascend to heaven.

Noah, feeling a sour taste in his mouth and trying hard to control his expression, was about to deal with the Goliath magic stone and the dropped items when he saw the strange behavior of the blonde elf.

Noah couldn't help but stop, even forgetting the bitter taste in his mouth that almost made his soul ascend to heaven, and tilted his head in confusion.

What is this elf doing? Is he high?

Oh no, this one is different from Ai Si. His head must have been really blown off.

But it was Goliath who took action, I was just passively counterattacking.

I don't need to make any compensation, right?

I am still a poor guy with a debt of 50 million French dollars!

46 The Girls of Astraea's Familia

"Hello! Mr. Swordsman!"

Just as Noah was frightened by the aura of the blond elf, which was even more terrifying than Goliath, a bright red color burst into his field of vision with the aggressive aura of a ferocious bear.

"I'm the leader of the Astralia clan! Pure, righteous, and beautiful, a level 3 adventurer known as the Red Flower. I'm Alyse Raphel! Thank you for saving our family just now!"

Facing those emerald green eyes full of sunshine and vitality, Noah listened to her self-introduction, then secretly glanced at the blonde elf and found that she had turned around.

What the hell is going on?

Confused, he reached out his hand without changing his expression.

"Loki Familia, Noah Sifel, it was my mistake just now. I'm very sorry for causing you to be affected."

Before Alisee could answer, she was pushed aside by another human girl with short dark brown hair.

No, it should be said that he was literally 'knocked away'.

"How can I blame you for this?! It's all because of the dungeon and Goliath being so cunning! If you can't win, just use dirty tricks! By the way, how did you practice your swordsmanship? It's amazing! Can you teach me? Oh, and other training techniques, like what do you like to eat? How old are you this year? Do you have any hobbies?"

Noah's expression stiffened as he looked at the girl with short dark brown hair who was holding his hands and talking non-stop excitedly.

"Um, please, can you please?"

"Me? My name is Noin! Noin Yurik, you can just call me Noin! I'm fifteen years old! Ah!!"

The last scream was because Noin was also "flown" out like Alisha who was knocked away by her just now.

However, the person who came was not the Amazon as Noah thought, but a wolf girl.

Judging from his appearance, he should be a little older than Noah.

He has the tallest figure among Astralia's family, only half a head shorter than Noah, and his limbs wrapped in brown skin are flexible and agile.

Although his hair is white like Noah's, it has a more mineral texture and fluffy medium-short hair with tall and erect wolf ears.

"My name is Nitz Longket. I'm probably older than you, so you can call me Sister Nitz! Eh? Swordsman, your hands are surprisingly small. I thought you had strong and sturdy arms like a dwarf. You'll have to eat more!"

It would be a bit difficult for humans to have arms thicker than those of dwarves, right?

And is your focus a little off?

This time, Noah didn't even have time to say anything before the wolf girl was stopped.

However, she was luckier than Alysie and Noin. She was not knocked out, but was just stopped by someone.

"That's enough, Nitz, you're going to scare people like this!"

Wearing a kimono that was completely out of place in the dungeon environment, the swordsman with beautiful black hair saluted Noah with a dignified and perfect smile.

"Gojouno Kaguya, vice-captain of the Astralia clan."

However, Noah won't be fooled by her appearance.

Whether it was the 'intuition' brought by the skills, or the blood in his body that seemed to be opened because of the grace he received, they were telling Noah that the Kaguya in front of him was a very dangerous woman.

Not from the perspective of the adventurer's strength, but from the perspective of a 'woman', it's very dangerous.

It seemed to be telling Noah that if he underestimated the other party, he would pay a heavy price.

"That's right! Nitz! Even for a werewolf, this is too rough, right?"

"Noyin! How dare you say that about others!"

Witnessing the fight among the group members, Leila walked up to Livilia, shook her head and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Lady Jiu Moji, but our members are just so unreliable. After all, all leaders are like that."

“…No, no need to apologize.”

Looking at Noah who was surrounded by the girls of Astralia's family, Livilia couldn't help but tighten the scepter in her hand.

Maybe this matter cannot be blamed on you.

Under the urging of Livilia, the dignified elder, and Leila and Kaguya, two reliable people, the team finally set off quickly towards the surface.

The wide and long hall soon fell into silence. Only the rubble on the ground, which had not yet returned to its original state, silently told of the fierce battle that had just taken place.

Until, in an extremely inconspicuous corner of the stone hall, a distorted light and shadow flashed by.

*

"That guy is even more despicable than Finn!!"

In the deep corridor with distorted light and shadow and endless depth, angry roars filled with hostility echoed.

*

It felt as if the dungeon couldn't wait to send away the evil guests. Noah and his group didn't encounter any monsters on the way back to the surface.

However, due to the need to climb up and identify the direction, the return journey did not save much time.

When we reached the surface, the sky was, as expected, pitch black.

The headquarters of the Astralia clan, the 'Garden of Stars', is also in the north of the city, facing the main street of the Mansion of Dusk, so both parties headed north together again.

Although bathed in the bitter winter wind, everyone felt a sense of relief.

The girls of Astraea's family started chatting again, talking about having a good meal, taking a bath, buying some clothes and other pastimes.

However, there was one thing that concerned Noah.

"Look!"

Noah kept his head looking forward without changing his expression, but suddenly glanced at a corner of the team with his peripheral vision.

At the other end of the team, at the farthest distance from Noah and with the most people in between, stood the elf swordsman named Liu Liang.

After Noah caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, she seemed to notice something, her head shook slightly, and she looked forward.

At first, Noah naturally thought it was his own illusion.

But as he walked along, the feeling of concern recurred over and over again, and he was sure of one thing - the blond elf was peeking at him.

What was she planning on doing? Planning to punch herself?

As Noah was thinking about this, he felt someone approaching him.

It was Nuo Yin, the girl with short dark brown hair.

She looked at Noah with eyes that were the same color as her hair, and there seemed to be some expectation shining in them.

"Hey, Noah-kun, why do you fight like that?"

Because, fighting like this is so fun - when Noah was subconsciously about to answer his inner thoughts, he found that the other girls were also looking at him.

Although some of them, like Noin, had similar curious and expectant looks in their eyes, such as the wolf Alisha, Nitz, and young elves like little boys.

But there were also less friendly gazes - mainly the female dwarf vanguard Asta Nox in full armor, and the wizard holding a staff, Leyana Liz.

Of course, it's not malicious, it's just like seeing other people have bad habits, but you lack the position to correct them and can only frown and endure it.

It felt as if they had some kind of argument and decided to let an outsider like me make the decision.

What happened?

I always feel like a very important argument happened when I was distracted.

It felt like I closed my eyes during class, and when I opened them again, Livilia's magic deduction blackboard suddenly expanded to several pages.

Within three seconds, Noah thought about it several times and finally decided to tell the truth.

When you don't understand what happened, telling lies often makes things worse.

Noah gave his answer only after he could see the distinctive tower of the Dusk Mansion.

"...Because, I used to be physically weak and weak, I could only rely on various tricks and techniques to fight. So, after receiving the grace recently, I have been wanting to experience the feeling of defeating an opponent with pure strength... That's it."

After receiving this answer, Nuoyin's expression became a little complicated - like lost and confused.

It's like a poor student asking a top student for help with a problem, but finding that the top student's solution of 'A is obviously wrong, B does not agree with the meaning of the question, C can be eliminated at a glance, so D' is too advanced for him, but he is too embarrassed to ask again.

The same goes for the other girls.

However, this had nothing to do with Noah. He just wanted to find a place to have a big meal, so he parted ways with them.

The girls walked in another direction until they were about to enter the Garden of Stars. Only then did Alisha, who was at the front of the group, suddenly stop and stare blankly ahead.

"Hmm? Alyse? What's wrong?"

"Just now, didn't Noah say 'after receiving a favor recently'?"

Silence suddenly enveloped the girls, and then screams pierced the night.

"……Could it be that?"

"No way?"

"Are you kidding me?"

47 Aisi: I can be Noah’s wife!

After the last ray of sunset faded, the night sky was filled with stars and a bright moon, and dazzling lights overflowed from between the buildings, interspersed with joyful noises.

When Noah and the other two returned to the Dusk Pavilion, the clan dinner had already ended and the members were busy with their own things, so no one came out to greet them.

However, no matter how busy the clan is, there is one guy who always seems to be relaxed.
