Our Milora-chan is already seriously worried about her chastity.
Meanwhile, Torina is completely oblivious, thinking the child is just hungry, not in vain did she ask the inn’s head chef to prepare a feast last night.
———— Speaking of last night—
— “Hey, chef, I have a favor to ask, here’s a tip.”
“So much——!? Alright, alright, just tell me what you need!”
“Tomorrow, I want to have a thorough and deep conversation with someone important, and I want some good food to spice things up. Can you arrange that?”
“‘Someone important’… ‘deep conversation’… ‘spice things up’…? Ah… Ah, I get it, I get it, don’t worry, I’ll make sure you two are full of energy!”
“Uh, ‘full of energy’…? Whatever, just make it sumptuous!”
———— (It seems the chef’s skills aren’t bad, even Milora was impressed, heh heh heh heh) Torina thought proudly.
She’s someone who’s lived two lives (though combined, she’s not even fifty), so of course, she has a way to win over a little girl’s heart (even though she died a virgin in her past life).
Having read the original work, she knows Milora’s personality traits:
1. She misses her deceased mother and longs for maternal love.
2. She’s very cautious, especially towards nobles and the wealthy.
3. When it comes to gifts, she likes practical things.
4. She likes to eat.
So Torina prepared three gifts with these in mind:
1. Since she longs for maternal love, she’ll use maternal love (referring to Lai Lai) to warm her.
2. Use warm and reliable words to ease her anxiety.
3. These new underwear are both beautiful and of good quality, practical for long-term use.
4. A sumptuous breakfast, simple and straightforward.
After this combo, she should feel a sense of belonging to the team, avoiding the crisis of leaving the team and causing chaos, right?
“So, Milora-chan——ah, can I call you Milora-chan from now on? Let’s let bygones be bygones and——”
“In the past, you just treated me as a servant, and now you want me to be ☆ hardworking!? You perverts!!!!”
Milora threw away the suggestive underwear, grabbed her gear, and rushed out the door, leaving Torina in a daze.
“…Did I do something wrong?”
Torina scratched her head.
Though she didn’t know what went wrong, it seemed like a failure.
But it’s okay, there’s still a chance before the third team-leaving incident “loot dispute after boss fight”
happens!
Torina cheered herself up, and just then, an unexpected guest suddenly showed up.
It was the dear vice-captain, Anna-veil.
“Torina, I heard from Laxis that you’re here! Now that you’re back, shouldn’t the adventure team continue its activities——huh!?”
As soon as Anna-veil entered, she saw Torina in super revealing and suggestive sleepwear.
She was stunned for a moment, quickly covering her eyes (but with fingers spread wide) and said anxiously: “Why are you wandering around in such revealing clothes!? Don’t you have any shame? I’ve seen everything!!”
“…We’re both girls, what’s there to mind?”
“Ah, ah? Yeah, yeah, that’s true, but——it’s still not okay! It’s indecent! What if someone else sees and it damages the team’s image!!”
“Oh, so you’re worried about that, I thought you were craving my body.”
“Huh!?”
“Just kidding, you don’t seem like the type to be in a girl’s contact list, so what brings you here?”
Torina said casually, feeling that Anna-veil seemed a bit guilty?
Must be her imagination.
“…It’s about exploring the labyrinth. Didn’t you boast when you came here that you’d take down the lord of the Amana Forest? Recently, several adventure teams have noticed a large gathering of insects in the southeast side of the forest, and they say it might be traces left by the lord.”
“Oh oh…”
“We can’t let other teams get ahead! You don’t want to continue being useless, do you?”
“Don’t call me useless…”
Torina felt a headache coming on.
The monster lord of the Amana Forest is mysterious and has never been found.
Every adventure team wants to be the first to claim its head.
Of course, having read the original work, Torina knows where the lord is.
A mud pit in the southeast swamp is the secret passage to the boss room, and she could lead the team there now if she wanted.
But there are two problems.
First: If they go to fight the boss before successfully winning over Milora, the team-leaving plot will definitely happen early, leading to disaster.
Second: Although the Amana Forest labyrinth is relatively low difficulty, the boss’s combat power far exceeds other bosses of the same level, and it has a special mechanism where the more people fight it, the stronger it becomes.
“What are you daydreaming about? Everyone’s been stuck in town for a week, now that you’re back, you should lead the team to do something, right?”
“Alright…”
Going on a dungeon run is indeed necessary, but there’s something else that needs to be done first.
——————— ——————— After breakfast, the whole team was called together, and the Moonlight Adventure Team was all present except for the captain.
This was on the first floor of the inn, with many people coming and going, and their table full of beautiful girls naturally became the focus of attention from passersby, but everyone was used to it by now.
Torina hadn’t arrived yet, and the others took their seats first.
(Friendly reminder: Most of the characters below don’t need to be remembered right now, just have an impression.)
Scout, Milora (original Protagonist), a slender gray-haired girl, the lowest in the team, just escaped the clutches of the female contact list captain.
Magic Spear Knight, Anna-veil (appears in this chapter), vice-captain, tall and hot with long golden-red hair, a strong-willed rich young lady.
Wood Elf Archer, Patty (second chapter), a golden-haired girl from the wood elf race, with a versatile personality.
Holy Word Mage, Laxis (second chapter), pink-haired, loves tea, and loves using the captain’s stockings to filter tea leaves.
Earth Elementalist, Marian (third chapter), purple-haired, one of Torina’s sycophants, loves bullying Milora.
Swift Wind Swordsman, Lilia (third chapter), green-haired, another of Torina’s sycophants, loves bullying Milora.
Sword Master, Wenren Ji Xue (fourth chapter), from an eastern great nation, loves caring for people but is a bit socially anxious.
After returning from the Torina retreat, all the members had either directly or indirectly interacted with each other, except for the remaining three—
“Get me a glass of juice, make it cold, hurry up, hurry up.”
The radiant priest Naji Aurelian naturally ordered Milora around.
Milora glared at her but still went to get her a glass of cold juice.
Naji took the glass without saying thank you, just muttering “so slow,”
and continued painting her nails.
Her self-modified ultra-short skirt and wide-open neckline priest outfit didn’t look like a priest at all, more like the so-called “hot girls”
from Torina’s previous life on Earth.
“Tsk, the nail polish needs reapplying… Hey! Milora! Come over and lend a hand!”
The heavy shield knight Lanifi Dis shouted loudly, and this time Milora directly shot her a look of dissatisfaction, which greatly displeased Lanifi.
“What kind of look is that!? It’s only natural for the weakest and most useless to be ordered around by me! Stop dawdling!”
Lanifi slammed the table and stood up.
Despite being a tank class, she was petite, creating a stark contrast with her dark blue stone heavy armor, which instead gave off a mysterious aura that completely overshadowed Milora.
“Um, everyone, can we talk it out? Don’t start arguing…”
Ji Xue tried to interject.
“Ugh… Lanifi, you’re so loud… I haven’t slept enough yet.”
The metal mentor Lindas Solaris lazily lay on the table, her petite figure resembling a sleepy kitten, her face hidden beneath her long hair that shimmered with a strange metallic luster.
“Huh? You’ve slept for ten hours, right? Get up! The boss called us early in the morning, surely we’re going to raid a dungeon!”
“Let me sleep a bit more…”
They were like this, and the two lackeys who loved to bully Milora were even worse.
“Milora, why are you still here?”
“Can’t you just tuck your tail and scram?”
“Oh right, can you leave your money before you go?”
“You’ve disgusted us for so long, you should at least compensate us~”
“Hahaha~~”
Marian and Lilia laughed arrogantly, knowing full well that with the leader back, this guy wouldn’t stay long.
At that moment—
“Good morning, everyone.”
Torina, having changed clothes, finally arrived fashionably late.
TN: This author is so shit at naming LOL, sorry guys – I hate it too, if it gets too bad I’ll “beautify” it but the author is very inconsistent…
