You are all my wings!

Mshifisu thought for a moment, could it be that this cheap master prefers to admire from afar?

Even though I'm being watched anyway, at least I feel safer this way.

No, isn't this just to see my exposed legs?

Is this thing really that good-looking?

So what if it's a little whiter, a little longer, a little thinner, a little more tender, a little more moist, and a little more elastic?

Mshifisu could hardly understand this feeling.

But then I suddenly realized that I sometimes seemed to be drawn to Leon Berlón's tall, athletic figure and elegant, composed demeanor, so I couldn't really say anything more.

Let's consider it interest from seeing each other.

Comforting herself in this way, Msifisu, wearing the already tailored Lyon trench coat, strode forward with her long, slender, and shapely white legs.

[Villain Mshifisu's favorability +2%, current favorability 26%]

"Don't walk too fast, or you'll make too much noise."

"Master, where exactly are you going?"

Mshifisu looked up and saw that the cave was getting deeper and deeper, and the light was getting dimmer.

It was only thanks to her exceptional agility that she was able to see it clearly.

"Many of the hidden spots around here were dug out by monsters from the dungeon. It's a winding and circuitous area, so don't worry about getting lost."

What Leon didn't say was that he had already traversed these underground passages a long time ago in his previous life, and could even enter the underground city without taking the proper route.

It's just that this route takes too much time, so there's no need to save on the entrance fee, since it's only a few silver coins.

Given his current earning power, he values ​​safety and efficiency more.

The main reason for going this way now is to avoid being discovered by Moriarty.

Although he has improved greatly, he has not yet mastered true supreme and king-level magic, and his raw strength is still inferior to Moriarty's.

Unless he can get close enough to launch a sneak attack and bombard the enemy with a barrage of perfect-grade hurricane fireballs, there is little hope.

However, considering that many of his fighting styles were learned from Moriarty in his previous life, he decided to avoid direct confrontation for the time being.

As for Langley's worry about Therena and Iris's and the others' worry about themselves, they could only ignore it for the time being.

Once we're safe, we'll let them know we're safe. It won't make a difference if we wait a day or two.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them were moved to a slightly damp cave.

Lyon used a miniature drying spell to dry some moss, ferns, and vines, using them as fuel to start a small fire.

The place is well-ventilated and spacious, making it suitable for temporary rest and hiding.

"Let's stay here a little longer. Even if Moriarty finds this place, he won't dare to use devastating magic, and we'll be much safer."

Just then, Terena, who was being held by Leon, woke up from her drowsy state, her stomach rumbling loudly.

She stared at Lyon with her bright, pearly eyes, looking at him innocently like a little animal.

Leon laughed and said, "Okay, I get it. Let's eat. Luckily, I have a good habit of carrying a lot of powerful monster meat with me."

He took out the last portion of the reserved second-tier powerful monster meat and crushed it with his hand.

With his current strength and technique, crushing the flesh of a powerful second-tier monster no longer requires the slow, slicing motion of a magic sword as it used to.

However, after consuming all the second-tier powerful monsters, only fifth-tier powerful monsters and some special parts of fifth-tier monsters remained, all of which were left over from the last monster tide.

As for that sixth-tier monster, he had already devoured many of them on the day the monster tide ended.

What Terena will eat next is also a problem.

As he thought this, he handed the piece of crushed jerky in his palm to Therena.

"With limited resources, let's pick them up and eat them little by little for now."

Lyon meant for Terena to grab the food with her hands.

As a result, she actually acted like a kitten, using her pink tongue to scoop the bits of jerky into her mouth from Lyon's large palm.

She ate with great relish, her little face flushed.

"Delicious."

She muttered something, ignoring Leon's strange look, and continued eating in that position.

[Character Therina's affection level +2%, current affection level 62%]

Lyon was speechless. She hadn't said it was delicious when he gave her the same jerky last time.

Was it because I was hungry from sleeping, or did this way of eating just taste better?

Sigh, the younger the girl, the harder it is to understand her thought process.

Lyon considered himself quite experienced, but he sometimes couldn't quite grasp the type of woman like Terena, at least not as accurately as he could with other women.

He shrugged, deciding not to think about it anymore. He took out his water pouch, used water magic to condense pure water, poured it in, and tilted his head back to take a sip.

I'm quite thirsty after walking for so long.

This scene was naturally seen clearly by Mshifisu.

Her agate-like eyes gleamed slightly as she suddenly asked:

"Master, by the way, what is your relationship with this little girl? Is she your daughter?"

Cough cough, Terena choked and coughed several times.

Once she had calmed down, she glared at Msifisu and said, "I'm not his daughter! Don't talk nonsense!"

Mshifisu: "Understood, understood, then you are the master's..."

She had a fairly good impression of Terena, who was clearly a smart and reliable little girl.

Although her actions were a bit strange, she understood Terena's behavior when she thought about how she often ate random things when she was a child.

However, Terena was taken aback by M'shifisu's question.

What am I to Lyon?

After thinking for a while, she finally said loudly:

"I am a genius that Lyon has its eye on, an investment target!"

Actually, Terena was quite nervous when she first shouted it.

However, thinking about the large amount of positive feedback she had recently received from Lyon, she became more determined.

I, Terena, am destined to become the world's strongest magician!

It was also destined that Leon would defeat me and become the strongest person in the world!

"Investment targets?"

"Not only that, Lyon... is also... is also my future husband... my mother's husband!"

puff!

Lyon spat out the water he had only drunk halfway through.

He turned to look at Therena.

You can't say that.

Did he hear that word Terena just took back correctly?

Or did she let it slip?

"Oh~"

Msifisu glanced at Leon. This cheap master of hers was truly sinful. How could someone like him have such great talent?

The thought that such a young girl had fallen for him so early made her even more wary.

I must not repeat the same mistake.

There were too many precedents to follow, so much so that she was terrified of the humiliating scenes she often fantasized about.

"Then you should have the chance to meet your mother."

Mshifisu gave a perfunctory reply.

“You have no chance. My mother is much gentler than you. You are good for nothing except being pretty and strong.”

Terena glanced at her sideways.

Mshifisu smiled and said, "You can rest assured. I have long decided to dedicate my life to cultivation and the cause of my race. I naturally don't care about trivial matters of love."

"That's hard to say. You've been all lovestruck just now. Do you think I'm too young to notice?"

Terena said coldly.

The smile on Msifisu's lips slowly froze.

She decided to retract her previous assessment of Terena, who, despite being a clever little girl, was an annoying one.

Is your heart fluttering with spring fever?

This word sounds awful.

How could I possibly have anything to do with this word?

"Little friend, do you know what it means to be in love at first sight?"

She decided to teach this self-important little girl a lesson and show her what true intelligence is.

Chapter 301 I don't have much else lately, but I have a lot of magic.

"That's exactly what I'm talking about. You seem conservative and aloof on the surface, but you start fantasizing whenever Leon says a few words, and you end up losing control of your fantasies."

Terena showed no mercy to Mshifisu.

"I can't control myself? I specialize in agility and quick reflexes, what do you know, you little brat?"

"A true master, no matter how perceptive, can always restrain themselves."

"Alright, alright, Master, I beg you to do it again. I want to prove to this brat that I can hold back! I was just caught off guard before!"

Mshifisu glared at Terena, then turned to look seriously at Leon.

Leon blinked. What a coincidence... Wait, what are these two arguing about for no reason?

“Mshfisu, this method of proof is not good; it will corrupt Terena.”

Lyon shrugged.

Terena scoffed, "Let her prove it! I'll see if she can hold back!"

She was also somewhat annoyed by what the little brat M'shfisu said to her several times.

What she hates most is being treated like a child.

Psychologically, she always felt that she was more mature than her mother, Langley.

My previous feigned autism was merely to avoid further trouble.

Now, Leon has gradually overcome his pseudo-reclusiveness, and his personality has naturally become sharper, returning to his former nature of speaking the truth as soon as he sees it.

Hearing Terena's words, Mshifisu calmed down.

He actually got into a fight with a little kid, and when he couldn't win an argument, he resorted to physical violence to prove himself.

Having suffered so much humiliation at the hands of this cheap master, he actually wants to be humiliated again now; he must be out of his mind.

“I misspoke, Master. Little friend, please pretend I didn’t speak to you.”

Mshifisu said something, then slipped to another corner and began practicing the breathing techniques of the Wind Thief.

Leon shrugged and looked at Terena:

"Now is the perfect time for me to teach you mechanical magic."

Terena was initially resentful that Msifisu hadn't accepted the challenge, but she was surprised when she heard what Leon said.

"I don't have magic, how can I learn it?"
