Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

It was so complex and diverse that even Aisi herself couldn't tell them apart. The only thing she could clearly grasp was that it would be absolutely comfortable to hold Noah in her arms while sleeping at night.

This thought arose in Ai Si's mind recently, as she was often woken up by the cold in the middle of the night because of kicking off the quilt.

This was what she thought in her heart, and Ai Si said it subconsciously.

"Noah, can you sleep with me tonight?"

Although young and ignorant, Aisi still has a certain awareness of the differences between men and women.

However, since I will be Noah's wife in the future, it is normal for him to warm my bed and hug me as a pillow, right?

Not to mention that Noah smells amazing, which is sure to help people get a good night's sleep and aid recovery.

Because she had been exercising too much these days, Livilia started to restrict her training again.

——'You can't continue training like this without recovering properly!'

Looking quietly at Ai Si with a serious expression, Noah knew it was unlikely, but he still subconsciously looked around in the surrounding caves, fearing that he would see a green-haired figure.

If Livilia heard it, she would probably use Alf's combo of boxing, staff magic, and wide-area bombardment magic on herself!

Fortunately, let alone the figures of the elven royal family, Noah didn't even see a passing adventurer or monster.

It was quiet all around, as if the dungeon knew it was impossible to deal with Noah in the middle area and simply isolated and forgot about him.

Otherwise, I might have to kill to silence the witness.

Noah breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously and looked at Ais with a puzzled look.

"Aisi, why do you say that?"

"Because the weather has been getting cold recently, I keep waking up from the cold at night. Noah should be warm."

After a few seconds of silence, Noah suddenly smiled and stretched out his big hand.

The rumors caused by Loki before haven't completely died down yet. Aren't you willing to accept that my reputation as a girl-loving person will be completely confirmed?

It would be fine if you didn't repay me, but why do you keep ruining my reputation?

Aisi, Aisi, you are really my sweet and caring black cotton-padded jacket.

Seeing the smile on Noah's usually calm and handsome face, Ai Si was dazed for a few seconds, and then suddenly felt something was wrong.

But it was too late, Noah's hand had already grasped her little head, and then he used five fingers to exert force!

"what!!"

The little girl's miserable cries echoed in the deep cave.

As the temperature dropped, the days gradually became shorter, and when Noah and his companions returned to the surface, the sky had already darkened completely.

The central square, which would normally be completely dark at this time, is now brightly lit, with numerous stalls spread out in a crisscross pattern, and guild members in uniform directing volunteers moving around.

"The festival starts tomorrow. Do you want to go and have some fun, Aisi? With Livilia and the others?"

Having not yet recovered from Noah's Undying Grip, Aisi took a while to come back to her senses.

She glanced around the square and subconsciously wanted to shake her head.

"Festival? I don't want to go, I want to go--"

"Always follow me, but you can't surpass me!"

Among the many reasons why Ai Si likes being with Noah, the fact that he treats her as an equal and doesn't treat her like a child like others is very important.

This is the first time I've been interrupted while speaking.

This made Aisi look up and look at Noah.

“The closer you are, the less you see. If you don’t look at the tiny corner you once lived in from a farther, wider perspective, it will be difficult to see clearly, whether you are looking at people, things, or yourself.”

In the dim environment, Ai Si felt that Noah's blue eyes seemed to be stained with a faint purple halo.

She actually looked a bit charming, so Ai Si didn't dare to look at her any longer and quickly lowered her head.

"……I see."

"Let's go back and eat. Livilia and Loki will probably say we're late again."

After returning to the Dusk Mansion, catching up on dinner and taking a shower, Noah and Ais went to the shrine as usual for refreshment.

"It seems that endurance is still too difficult to improve."

Livilia, who was staring at the ability data in a daze, wondering whether she should let Ais start using magic, subconsciously looked around when she heard this and almost held down her hands.

Staff! Where's my staff?! I'm going to beat this traitor to death for not understanding my teacher's feelings!

"The expedition is starting the day after tomorrow! I'm taking Aisi to the festival, so you have to get out of the dungeon tomorrow and not come back until your stamina reaches SS!"

Taking off the paper that was slapped on his face, Noah looked at Livilia's departing back with an innocent look on his face.

*

One night passed, in a room in the Garden of Stars.

"No! I can't sleep!"

The blonde elf, who had almost not slept all night, stared at the sun outside the window, tightly clutching the scarf whose scent had completely dissipated, with conspicuous dark circles appearing under her pupils.

"Let's go to the dungeon! We must definitely forget about that human!

59 Ryu: Even if I jump off the city wall, I will never—

"Eh? Ryu? Aren't you going to the festival?"

At the breakfast table of the Astralia family, Alyse raised her greasy face from the plate and looked at the blonde elf beside her in surprise.

Because of her loud voice, the girls at the table who were originally discussing where to go next or complaining about having to patrol everywhere all looked at Liu.

Alicia!

Could you please speak a little louder?

If it’s a little bigger, you can kill monsters with just one roar during battle!

Liu, who was already in a bad mood because he hadn't had a good rest for a few days, now wanted to push his friend's head directly into the plate of stew!

Eat, eat, eat! Just eat!

But even though his heart was in turmoil, Liu remained calm on the surface and drank a mouthful of oatmeal.

"Well, I recently saw a piece of equipment I really wanted, so I'm going to the dungeon to make some money."

Although it was a disguise, Liu found that his disguise was quite natural this time. He was not as flustered as before, and even a child could see through it at a glance.

This surprised her.

"Eh? It won't take a day or two, right?"

"It's a rare festival time, it would be nice to go and have some fun together."

"If you're short of money, I have some here."

Liu was deeply touched by his friends' concern and helping hands, but then firmly refused.

"Thank you, but the festival is packed, so please spare me!"

Knowing that Liu had an extreme skin cleanliness obsession even among elves, his teammates looked away with regret.

Kaguya even showed an expression that said, "I know what this useless elf is planning."

They didn't know that besides not wanting to walk into the crowds of people rubbing shoulders with strangers, Liu was even more afraid of seeing a certain silver-haired boy.

Otherwise, if she fell flat on her face in public, her elf life, as well as her position as a member of the justice clan and a member of the urban gendarmerie would be over!

...However, Kaguya's expression is still very annoying!

Liu bit his silver teeth until he could hear the "crunch" sound in his mind, and then he barely suppressed the urge to retort.

It would be better to quickly run into the dungeon and use an exciting battle to forget all the troubles.

But even though he was anxious, Liu still finished his breakfast and looked at his main god in accordance with etiquette.

"Goddess Astraea? I'll take my leave now."

The goddess with walnut-colored hair stopped the spoon in her hand and looked at Liu with deep blue eyes as deep as the sea of stars.

Even though Liu always despised the vulgar thoughts of the world that only paid attention to appearance and ignored character and spirit, he couldn't help but feel shaken every time he saw the goddess Astraea.

Astraea is the virgin goddess of justice, integrity and order. She is also a very powerful fighter who is responsible for issuing sanctions in the heavens.

Not only had Alyse been under the guidance of the goddess Astraea since she came to Orario with her companion.

Even Kaguya, who possesses the strongest hand-to-hand combat ability in her clan, admitted that in the field of swordsmanship, the goddess has the power to beat both of them to tears.

But, I can't tell!

Can't tell at all!

Not only Liu herself couldn't see it, she believed that no one could see it at the first sight of Goddess Astraea!

Her temperament is so pure without a trace of impurities, including her words and actions, all give people a sense of noble chastity that is completely consistent with the name of goddess.

But such a holy goddess, wrapped in pure white clothes, has a body that is slender and slender without any burden, yet graceful and curvy, perfectly interpreting the beauty of women.

Thinking about it this way, it's understandable that those filthy male gods would describe Goddess Astraea as 'the epitome of gentleness and kindness, the goddess among goddesses! The undisputed number one on the list of people who want to be patted on the lap! Maybe she'll even become the goddess who's the mother of all male gods!'

...Even Liu herself didn't know whether the random thoughts in her mind at the moment were to relieve the tension caused by playing tricks in front of the Lord God.

Liu didn't lie, she did have some equipment she wanted to buy recently.

But she didn't say it completely.

In particular, he didn't make it clear that he wanted to go to the dungeon because he wanted to force himself to forget a certain silver-haired boy through high-intensity combat, and also to avoid seeing him at the festival.

In short, Goddess Astraea looked at her quietly, and finally revealed a peaceful smile.

"Then, be careful! Liu, if you have any troubles or difficulties, you can come to me."

Liu couldn't tell whether his little action was noticed or not.

The shame in her heart urged her to stand up and quickly leave the table.

But when turning around, the elf unconsciously looked at the goddess's chest, the soft and plump breasts that squeezed each other to create a deep feeling.

Men, after all, prefer bigger ones, right?

Thoughts that had never appeared before lingered in his mind for a long time, and it was not until Liu ran to the entrance of the dungeon that he woke up with a start.

It’s all that human’s fault!

This has caused so many strange thoughts to pop up in my head lately!
