Chapter 135: Chapter 121 Aina and her brother will get married once they come back~(seriously)_1 Chapter 135: Chapter 121 Aina and her brother will get married once they come back~(seriously)_1 [Traveler, Wei’er, after much hesitation, nodded her head, agreeing to trust you and Chu Tian.]

[After all, she had witnessed with her own eyes your death and return today.]

[“To be resurrected after death?” Shopkeeper Lena deeply doubted, “Are you sure you’re not talking in your sleep?”]

[“Of course not,” Chu Tian said cheerfully, “Didn’t I appear in your secret room, shopkeeper? It’s because I set your secret room as my resurrection point.”]

[Shopkeeper Lena was baffled: “Resurrection point? Bind? What kind of mess is this…”]

[Wei’er gently tugged at your clothes, Traveler, “Who are you guys… really? Are you truly not from this world? Is everything you told me the truth?”]

[Traveler, you responded with a noncommittal smile.]

[Sometimes, the truth spoken outright is the least likely to be believed.]

[Even seeing is not believing, let alone what has not been seen.]

[Cat Cat hung her head, pressing down on the hat you placed atop her head, avoiding your gaze, she said softly, “Alright, I agree to let you do this, but are you really planning to enter the Mansion of the City Lord alone? That place must have tight security, teeming with experts, and losing your life there for nothing would be meaningless!”]

[Suddenly, she looked up at you and said calmly, “So, do you need my help? If you do, please don’t keep it to yourself.”]

Luo Xi paused for a moment.

The Mansion of the City Lord was surely the most crucial nerve center of the city, and with his current situation, it was impossible to break in alone through the front door, let alone replicate those two instances of operating armor to rush in and wreak havoc.

If he had such power, why not just joyfully slaughter all those hidden enemies instead?

If it were just to meet his end, indeed it would be meaningless.

Although what he was thinking was indeed to go and meet his end, to get as much information as possible before dying, then reset the time to today.

Wei’er, with her ability to walk through walls with someone, could indeed be of help to him.

However…

[Cat Cat noticed your hesitation, and the corners of her mouth lifted into a smile, “I know you need help, right?”]

[“Wait, I don’t agree!”

Shopkeeper Lena wanted to interject, but she felt a tug on her hand and looked down to find Aina had somehow moved next to her.]

[Aina smiled faintly, saying, “Sister Lena, Wei’er is very serious, regardless, Aina trusts them, and perhaps Sister Lena should too?”]

Luo Xi: “.”

What does it feel like to be trusted like this by two Beast Eared Girls?

Despite having only spent a few days together.

[Note: This is all thanks to the pitiful Traveler’s powerful strategy for winning over Beast Eared Lolitas. Swap in two twenty-something adult women, and you, Traveler, would probably have been kicked to the curb long ago, not to mention, a scrubby traveler like you might not even take a look and would have bolted by now.]

Luo Xi: (╬￣皿￣).

Damn Text, your points are well made, but please, no more.

[Traveler, you spoke, “I indeed need your help, Wei’er.”]

[Lena immediately became agitated, “You bastard want to go crazy and seek death, don’t drag Wei’er down with you!”]

[Traveler, you said earnestly, “She won’t come to harm.”]

[Lena glared at you, “Where do you get the confidence?”]

[Traveler, you looked at the shopkeeper fearlessly, knowing that even if you said the confidence came from yourself, it would only make her scoff in her heart.]

[“Pfft—”]

[Wei’er suddenly laughed, turning her head to the shopkeeper, “It’s fine, Sister Lena. Nobody values their life more than I do. Who can catch me if I decide to run? My abilities are most suited for scouting too. Letting Luo Xi go alone definitely isn’t as good as both of us teaming up.”]

[Lena was silent for a while, then said, “Then I’ll go too.”]

[“More people would only increase the chance of being exposed,” Wei’er shook her head, “My Mutation ability allows me to take someone through walls, but it’s tricky with more people. Luo Xi and I are a perfect pair; he can either carry or hold onto me while I use my abilities.”]

[“Ah, are you two planning to do a nighttime infiltration of the Mansion of the City Lord? Need any little help from me?”]

[Luweiya’s enchanting voice rang out from outside the restaurant, “I can provide a basic floor plan of the Mansion of the City Lord. It should save you a lot of effort, right? This time, the information is free, sponsored by friendship.”]

[Lena stood up to look behind her, her voice cold, “When did you come down!”]

[“Don’t rush, take a look at this first.”]

[Luweiya took out a piece of blueprint from her bag and laid it on the table.]

[Traveler, you glanced at it and it indeed appeared to be the floor plan of a building, but only included two floors.]

[Luweiya chuckled, “The Mansion of the City Lord is huge, but the basic Business Floor is just the first and second levels. Anything further or more secret is out of reach for a small-time information dealer like me. But this should be better than having nothing at all, right?”]

[“Thank you.”]

[Traveler, you took the floor plan and thanked her.]

[It was around six in the evening.]

[Traveler, you thought there was no time to delay and that you could set out now to scope out the area around the Mansion of the City Lord. After all, it took you a long walk to reach St. Sound Sanatorium during the day, and the Mansion of the City Lord was even farther from the inn than the sanatorium.]

[It seems Shopkeeper Laina has implicitly agreed to the action you and Wei’er are about to take.]

[After tidying up the things, as you and Wei’er get ready to step out, a forceful hand lands on your shoulder.]

[Traveler, you turn your head to find Shopkeeper Laina looking at you with a profound gaze.]

[She leans close to your ear, lowers her voice, and says, “Don’t let them down, otherwise I won’t let you off easily.”]

[Traveler, you say, “Of course.”]

[“Brother.”]

[Aina runs over and takes your hand, speaking in a soft whisper, “Brother Luo Xi, when you come back, Aina will sneakily reward you with head pats and tail rubs.”]

[Traveler, you pause, and say, “Hmm.”]

[Your tone doesn’t sound very certain]

[For Aina here, you might not come back again]

[Aina’s expression slightly changes]

[Those tea-gold eyes gaze at you, shimmering with moisture, “Brother, remember the promise you made to Aina, okay? Aina will grow up well, and when Aina is older, you and Aina… can get married.”]

[“What? What are you talking about?”]

[Cat Cat, who has been waiting outside impatiently, walks back in, her face a picture of shock as she listens to you and her little sister discuss marriage.]

[Traveler, you carefreely respond, “Hmm, when I come back, I’ll marry you, Aina!”]

[Ding! Wei’er’s Shock Value +20]

[Embarrassed by what you said, Aina looks down shyly, the insides of her wolf ears feeling flushed red, “It’s not about getting married as soon as you return… It’s about when I’m older then… But, it’s up to Brother, Aina will be alright either way.”]

[Ding! Wei’er’s Shock Value +10]

[Note: Damn Traveler, do you want to unlock a new achievement – marrying an underage beast-eared lolita?]

Over my dead body!

[The little wolf girl shyly runs back towards the restaurant, not coming out again.]

[Traveler, you sense a killing intent coming from behind you.]

[Cat Cat’s tiny fist rests on your back, and the girl crisply says, “Oh, so you’re a pervert. I’ve underestimated you. When were you planning to marry Aina? I’m really curious, how did you get so close to Aina in such a short time? You haven’t been doing weird things to Aina every night while I was asleep, have you?”]

[Note: Poor Cat Cat, doesn’t understand what ‘master at wooing beast-eared lolitas’ means. Beware of fire, theft, and Luo Xi, but alas, it’s already too late.]

[Traveler, you calmly say, “It was just a joke with the kid, you don’t believe it, do you? And am I that kind of person?”]

[“Tch, I think what you said was true. You’d dare deceive Aina with sweet nothings at such a young age. If my mom was still here and she found out, you’d better prepare to lose a few layers of skin as penance.”]

[After speaking her mind, Wei’er, looking displeased, grabs your sleeve and drags you outside, leaving behind Shopkeeper Laina’s ‘mournful’ gaze.]

[She’s known Teacher Liya since she was a child, after all.]

[She still can’t understand, as a stranger who’s only made contact with Wei’er’s group for a few days, and a male at that, how you managed to be so intimate with them.]

[Originally, that should have been her privilege.]

Luo Xi: “…”

Stop giving me that mournful look, Shopkeeper. I feel like I’m about to get hit with a wave of nonsensical philosophies.

He lies on his bed, looking at the dilapidated ceiling through the floating text.

So, relationships are indeed the hardest to control.

The bonds between people are something that progresses over time, and if today’s time is reset, could he rebuild his relationship with these two lolitas to such a high level again?

Well, it doesn’t matter.

He had already decided that the most important thing right now was to take them out of the quagmire of Winter City.

If he couldn’t save them, what use would high favorability be?

[Note: A loli-con with correct principles!]

Damn text, get lost!

[After leaving the inn, Traveler, you take out various scrolls from your pack and apply their effects to you and Wei’er.]

[You remember the depiction on the map, the Mansion of the City Lord is located in the Second Ring.]

[In fact, the Second Ring isn’t much farther from the Winter Divine Tree.]

[Perhaps, today you might still have the chance to stand at the foot of the Winter Divine Tree and witness the true appearance of the Divine Tree up close.]

[“Delkus! How dare you!”]

[Traveler, just as you and Wei’er make your way into an alley, a thunderous voice, laden with fury, rolls through the air above the street, flying over your head and taking away countless snowflakes.]

[You and Wei’er glance at each other, remembering the news Luweiya mentioned.]

[It seems a fight has broken out at the Variant gathering place.]
