Anime Crossover: I, the Shadow King, slaughter my way through DanMachi!

"Eh~~~"

The Amazon sisters simultaneously let out a mournful wail of disappointment.

Seeing this, Lefia couldn't help but chuckle, which eased the tense atmosphere slightly.

But when she stole a glance at Yingping's sharply defined profile, her heart started racing again.

A date...a private moment with the Shadow King...and then signing a contract to gain the power to ascend to the heavens in one fell swoop...

Just thinking about it made her legs go weak.

Riveria stood to the side, looking at her palm with a complicated expression.

She wondered, was it really worth sacrificing her dignity for power?

But what made her even more uneasy was... a secret expectation deep in her heart.

Lefia didn't sleep well all night.

She tossed and turned, patting the pillow countless times, but she couldn't shake the image of the man in black from her mind.

"Can't sleep?"

A soft voice came from the bed next door.

Esther Wallenstein sat up, her long golden hair shimmering like flowing gold in the moonlight.

"Miss Ais!"

Lefia sat up abruptly, "I'm sorry, did I wake you..."

"It's okay, I wasn't asleep either."

Ais shook her head, walked barefoot to Lefia's bedside and sat down.

She was wearing a simple white nightgown, and her body smelled faintly of shower gel.

"Are you worried about your date tomorrow?"

Lefia's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple: "I...I just don't know how to face Lord Yingping...what if I mess things up..."

"Yingping... is a very good person."

Ais spoke in a rare long sentence, though her tone remained calm, her amber eyes sparkling with sincerity: "He won't make things difficult for you and Mother Riveria."

"But that sacred oath item..."

Lefia clenched her fingers. "Needing to completely open up to him, that kind of thing..."

Ais suddenly reached out and gently pressed her hand against Lefia's chest: "Here, just be honest with him."

The warmth from her palm startled Lefia.

She looked up and met Ais's eyes, and suddenly understood something.

"Miss Ais...did you hesitate at the time...?"

"Ah."

Ais nodded slightly, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips. "So it's okay, keep going."

This simple word of encouragement was like a shot of adrenaline to Lefia's heart.

She took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "Yes! I will try my best!"

The next day, the morning sunlight shone on the fountain in the central square of Orari, refracting a seven-colored halo.

Lefia stood at the agreed spot, constantly adjusting the hem of her skirt.

She wore a light green off-the-shoulder dress and white stockings today—

This is considered quite a bold outfit among the conservative Elven race.

Lefia's slender waist was cinched with a silver belt, making her figure appear even more exquisite.

"Have you been waiting long?"

A deep, magnetic voice came from behind.

The moment Lefia turned around, she gasped for breath.

Yingping wasn't wearing his usual black trench coat today, but rather a well-tailored black tuxedo.

The silver-gray tie was loosely tied, revealing her well-defined collarbone.

His dark eyes appeared exceptionally deep in the morning light, and the faint smile at the corner of his lips made Lefia's heart race instantly.

"No, I didn't wait long!"

She hurriedly bowed, but almost tripped over the hem of her skirt.

Yingping reached out and supported her shoulder at just the right moment: "Be careful."

That hand was warm and strong; Lefia could feel the warmth of his palm through the thin fabric of her clothes.

The elven girl's face instantly turned as red as if it were about to bleed.

"Where should we go first?"

She stammered, trying to distract herself.

"First, let's go have breakfast."

Yingping naturally took her hand. "I know a good dessert shop."

"Okay, okay!"

Lefia felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Inside the Honey Cafe on Orario Central Street, Lefia savored the signature strawberry cake.

"Is it tasty?"

Yingping asked, resting his chin on his hand.

"Absolutely delicious!"

Lefia nodded vigorously, "I didn't expect Lord Yingping to know about such a lovely shop..."

"Recommended by Ais."

Yingping smiled. "She said Lefia would probably like it here."

Lefia's eyes widened in surprise: "Miss Ais actually..."

"She cares about you a lot."

Yingping's voice was gentle yet firm, "She came to see me this morning specifically to tell me to be gentle with Lefia and to praise her a lot."

These words instantly brought tears to Lefia's eyes.

She quickly lowered her head, not wanting Yingping to see her losing her composure.

The two figures were reflected in the shop windows of the commercial street.

Lefia, holding a large bag of magical items and materials that Yingping had bought for her, smiled like an angel.

"Really? These things are very expensive..."

"What is this compared to your smile?"

Yingping said casually, but when he saw Lefia's face suddenly turn red, he realized that his words had been quite hurtful.

He cleared his throat. "Want to go check out the new equipment and staff?"

"Ok!"

As they passed the intersection, a speeding carriage suddenly rushed out.

Yingping swiftly grabbed Leifia's waist and shielded her behind him.

The carriage roared past, and he used his domineering power to block all the splashes of water.

"Are you okay?"

He lowered his head and asked, his warm breath brushing against Lefia's earlobe.

The elven girl stood frozen in place.

Yingping's chest pressed against her back, and her strong, powerful heartbeat could be clearly heard.

That unique aura completely enveloped her, making her almost forget to breathe.

"Lefia?"

"Ah! No, it's nothing!"

She snapped out of her daze and hurriedly took a half step back, but almost fell again because she moved too quickly.

Yingping shook his head helplessly and took her hand directly: "Be careful when crossing the road."

This time, Rafia did not struggle.

She quietly closed her fingers and held Yingping's hand, feeling that warmth and sense of security.

At noon, they arrived at the orphanage in the south of the city.

Yingping took out a bulging money bag from his pocket and handed it to the old nun with a wrinkled face.

"This is..."

"A little thought."

Yingping said softly, "Let's get some new clothes and food for the children."

Lefia looked at him in surprise.

In Orario, she thought that almost no one but herself would sponsor an orphanage.

Unexpectedly, Yingping is now doing the same thing.

What surprised her even more was Yingping's attitude towards the children—

He crouched down and patiently listened to a little girl stammering as she told her story, and even magically produced candy from his sleeve for her.

"Lord Yingping, you seem to really like children."

As she left the orphanage, Rafia couldn't help but ask.

Yingping's expression softened for a moment: "Yes, they remind me of... never mind, let's not talk about that."

"Are you hungry? I've made a reservation at a nice restaurant."

Lefia keenly caught that fleeting sense of loneliness, and her heart tightened immediately, but she considerately refrained from asking further questions.

3 PM, Dungeon Level 17—The White Maze.

"Are we really going on a date here?"

Lefia gripped her staff nervously and unconsciously moved closer to Yingping.

It was Yingping who used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring her here in an instant.

"Don't worry, you're absolutely safe with me here."

Yingping smiled easily.

At that moment, a deafening roar came from afar, and the entire cave trembled.

"Oh no! It's Goliath!"

Lefia's face turned deathly pale. "The floor owner of floor 18 actually refreshed the page at a time like this..."

[Encounter with Goliath, Level 5]

"come yet?"

Ying Ping smiled slightly: "This is just the right time to show you what LV40 strength is all about!"

He took off his coat and tossed it to Rafia, then stretched his wrists and said, "Stay here and don't move."

The next moment, Ying Ping appeared almost 100 meters away.

A gigantic humanoid monster emerged from the rock wall, standing a full twenty meters tall.
