Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Aina’s Task_1 Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Aina’s Task_1 [Traveler, as you walked into the room with a feeling of reluctance under Wei’er’s murderous gaze and Aina’s cute smile,]
[you noticed that the bed you had collapsed yesterday had not been cleaned up; a pile of wooden planks and dust were mixed together, making it quite ssy.]
[It makes sense, after all, with so much happening yesterday, how could those two girls have the ti to clean up the rubbish in the room?]
[You are cleaning the room…]
[Would you like to fast forward to the next event checkpoint?]
[No]
While his ga character was cleaning the room, Luo Xi also returned to the dormitory from the cafeteria, he moved a small stool to sit on the balcony, and then hit the fast-forward button.
X30.
[Traveler, after one hour, you finally cleaned the room spotlessly.]
[While moving the table, you discovered a piece of drawing paper lodged in a corner of the room, with rough lines sketched out depicting two abstract figures.]
[Ding! You have obtained a yellowed piece of drawing paper, which has been added to your Dreamland bag.]
[Yellowed Drawing Paper]
[Quality: White (Common)]
[Category: Common Item]
[Attribute: Not very nice simple line drawing, obviously done by a very young child.]
[Description: Show this drawing paper to soone and ridicule her harshly, and perhaps you will get an unexpected result (you can try it.)]
[Ding! It has been detected that this item can be retrieved to the current location of the Traveler’s real-world self.]
[Would you like to retrieve the item?]
[Yes]
A white light flashed, and a sowhat dirty, yellowed piece of drawing paper appeared in Luo Xi’s hand.
Luo Xi took out a piece of tissue from his pocket, wiped off so of the dust, and began to examine it against the backlight.
There were two abstract line figures on the drawing.
One big, two small.
To simply describe the drawing, an adult is holding a girl’s hand, a round sun in the sky, with a snowman piled next to it.
Basically, each object was roughly sketched out in a few strokes.
A true soul artist at work.
There was a line of small characters at the bottom of the drawing.
Luo Xi carefully discerned them.
Then he realized he couldn’t understand this writing at all.
Better let his in-ga self take a look.
After all, reality is not like inside the ga, where automatic language and script translation functionalities are built-in; even the simplest sentences would likely be incomprehensible to him.
[Would you like to place the item?]
[Yes]
The drawing paper disappeared from his hand, and Luo Xi took out another object from the bag.
[Map (Wei’er Special Edition)]
An object resembling a roll of A3 paper-length yellow parchnt landed in his hand.
Luo Xi unraveled the red string binding the scroll and slowly unfolded the map.
The map was easier to understand.
This was a regional map centered on Winter City, with four towns and twenty-one villages around it.
Many tiny characters marked various locations on the map.
Well, still couldn’t understand it.
Luo Xi stuffed the map back into the bag.
The text on the screen slowly presented new words.
[Traveler, you read the line of small characters on the painting.]
[—I, Wei’er, will definitely beco the greatest painter in the world one day!]
[The handwriting was sowhat childish, but it was very similar to the writing you saw in the basent, on that cardboard.]
“Is this a drawing made by the cat-eared girl when she was young?”
“So Wei’er had such ambitions when she was little?”
“Then, how has her drawing skill changed now?”
“Your curiosity level 13”
“Note: Traveler, curiosity might kill the cat, you know.”
“Traveler, you walked out of the room and saw Aina sitting on the sofa, flipping through a book. Wei’er was nowhere to be seen, but the sll of food wafting from the kitchen suggested she might be cooking.”
“You didn’t hold much expectation for the cuisine in this world, but you were quite interested in the book Aina was holding.”
“You gently leaned over the back of the sofa, peering at the book in the little Lolita’s hands.”
“Aina didn’t react, but she must have sensed you approaching, as her adorable wolf ears had perked up.”
“Your happiness level 13”
“Note: Traveler, are you sure it’s just the book you’re interested in?”
Luo Xi: “…”
“Aina asked in a soft whisper, “Brother Luo Xi, do you like reading books too?””
“You answered instantly, “Of course I do.””
“As a traveler from another world, your favorite pasti was reading interesting online novels, so how could you not like reading books?”
“”Then, Brother Luo Xi, would you like to read together?””
“Aina patted the spot next to her, inviting you to sit down.”
“Traveler, you didn’t hesitate at all and sat down next to her, your gaze involuntarily drifting to certain parts of the young girl.”
“Her fluffy big tail, those cute wolf ears… you wanted to pet them~”
“Note: Traveler, you’re getting carried away again, please control yourself.”
“You forced yourself to shift focus and asked, “What book is this?””
“Aina turned back to the first page, which depicted a saint holding a staff, seemingly in the midst of summoning sothing based on the illustration.”
“Aina pointed to the character and explained, “The title of this book is ‘The Legend of the Brave.’ It tells the story of the saint of the holy temple summoning a brave hero from another world through an ancient covenant ceremony to defeat The Great Demon King Dirak, and then traveling with companions around the world to collect treasures and defeat the demon king.””
“Traveler, you felt oddly familiar with this story.”
“Aina placed the book on your leg, her tea gold eyes shining brightly as she looked at you, “Brother Luo Xi, you said before that you are a traveler from another place who has lost his mories, right?””
“You were taken aback for a second, then nodded.”
“After all, that was the story you had made up for yourself, and for now, you had to stick with it.”
“Aina looked at you with a hopeful expression, “If you are going to leave soday, Brother Luo Xi, could you take Aina with you? Aina can accompany you to search for your lost mories.””
“Ding! Aina has issued you a quest: when leaving, take her with you on your journey.”
“Quest reward: Aina’s favorability towards you 50”
“Note: Traveler, your thoughts of abducting an innocent little Lolita might just co true!”
Luo Xi: “?!”
“Aina, what nonsense are you talking about!” Wei’er’s scolding voice ca from the kitchen.”
“So the Cat Lady had been listening to the commotion outside all along; good thing the Traveler hadn’t done anything too bold.”
“Wei’er, with an apron on, ca out from the kitchen.”
“The cat-eared girl looked at her sister with furrowed brows: “You’re thinking of running away from ho at such a young age?””
“”It’s not running away from ho!” the little Lolita argued with her head lowered: “Aina wants to see the vast world described in those travel books with her own eyes; Aina also wants to be a traveler who journeys everywhere!””
“The two sisters glared at each other.”
“”Do you know how dangerous the wilderness is?””
“”I know, Aina has read many adventure books!””
“”You still want to travel even though you know the risks? And those are just novels!””
“”Really can’t I?””
“”No! You’re too young!””
“”What about when Aina turns 16?””
“”That’s still too early! And you’re letting a man of unknown origins take you with him; Aina, don’t you have any sense of danger?””
