Chapter 106: Is it so easy to flirt with 105?
That night’s events were known to none except Shane and rica.
However, the next day, once everyone had awoken, soone discovered Mr. Magre had gone missing, causing a minor commotion. After so search, he was eventually found hanging from a tree, having already awakened, but due to hanging there all night, he was thoroughly drained of strength.
Afterward, just as Shane had expected, the group worked together to rescue Mr. Magre and inquired why he had been hanging from the tree. But Mr. Magre dared not tell the truth, hemming and hawing under the cover of a painfully awkward explanation, while casting angry and resentful glances at the smiling Shane in the crowd.
It seed that the young lord had thoroughly developed a hatred for Shane, exactly as Shane had anticipated.
In the end, that incident naturally ca to nothing, but another matter arose, causing a bit more of a stir than the previous one.
That was, soone discovered that Killian, who was locked up, was covered in injuries, his face swollen and bruised, and he seed as if he had been subjected to severe torture. No longer cold and gloomy, he now appeared puppet-like, with a vacant expression, needing others to feed him before he could eat.
...
This situation alard Beren, who hurried over to investigate, seemingly prepared to seriously look into the matter.
Unfortunately, this matter was also destined to be unresolved.
Because no one except Shane could possibly know what the Old Demon Clan Faction mber had endured the previous night.
Killian remained stoically silent, unresponsive, a stark contrast to his previous domineering deanor, which ultimately led to Beren and the others exhausting every strategy to make him speak, to no avail.
However, Vivian and Tielle, upon learning of this, cast suspicious glances at the seemingly innocent Shane.
“It couldn’t be…”
“…Did you do sothing again?”
Both of them looked at Shane doubtfully.
Clearly, in their minds, Shane had beco synonymous with the word “troublemaker.”
“It wasn’t , I didn’t do anything, don’t talk nonsense,” Shane naturally denied, still maintaining the facade of an innocent child.
Vivian and Tielle were obviously not convinced.
Putting aside the situation with Killian, just considering Mr. Magre’s ordeal, both of them felt it was certainly related to Shane.
The reason was simple, because the young lord was just too clumsy at hiding the truth. Despite his unwillingness to articulate what happened last night, he kept glaring over with anger and resentnt, as if he were gnashing his teeth, longing to pounce and bite Shane, which hardly appeared unrelated to Shane.
But Shane just wouldn’t admit it, and there was nothing the two won could do.
Only rica, from the mont she got up, had been stealing glances at Shane and would hurriedly look away when he turned his gaze to her, even bowing her head, not daring to et Shane’s eyes.
“What’s wrong, rica?” Lu Muya noticed rica’s behavior, seeming sowhat concerned, drawing Vivian’s and Tielle’s attention as well.
The two then observed rica’s unnatural behavior, then the distraught Mr. Magre, and finally rested their eyes on the all-too-composed Shane, suddenly figuring out sothing and having an epiphany.
“It seems that trash truly never learns his lesson,” Tielle said coldly, throwing a murderous look toward Mr. Magre, frightening the young lord enough to make him scramble away in a hurry.
“I thought, with so many people in this camp, even Mr. Magre wouldn’t dare to brazenly do anything, but now it seems I was careless,” reflected Vivian, and then she addressed the group, “From now on, whether patrolling or keeping watch, let’s have one person accompany rica, is that alright?”
Tielle and Lu Muya naturally had no objections and both nodded in agreent.
“No… there’s no need to go through all that trouble! Everyone,” rica hurriedly exclaid, seemingly feeling guilty.
Until…
“Do I need it as well?”
Shane asked from the side, causing rica to suddenly lose her voice.
“What do you think, rica?”
Vivian pondered for a mont before turning to rica, seeking her opinion.
After all, Vivian was aware of rica’s condition and knew why rica was wary of Shane, so she planned to ask rica’s intentions for the ti being.
Of course, Vivian thought that rica would probably disagree.
Allowing Shane to spend ti alone with her did not seem like sothing rica would agree to.
However, Vivian still hoped that both rica and Lu Muya could beco closer to Shane.
Not for any particular reason, only because Shane had a special identity. For a long ti in the future, they were likely going to have to deal with Shane, and so Vivian did not want there to be any unpleasantness between them.
Vivian also knew that such matters couldn’t be rushed; for now, she could only try to bring both sides a little closer and leave the rest for later.
With this in mind, Vivian did not expect rica to agree outright to this matter. Instead, while asking, she was prepared with so rationale in her heart.
Who would have thought…
“I… I’m fine with it…”
There, rica, who had just been sowhat shy, now blushed, hung her head low, and with a voice quieter than a mosquito’s, gave such a response.
“Huh?”
This ti, not only was Vivian taken aback, but Tielle and Lu Muya were both astonished.
Not just the girls, even Shane felt surprised, looking at the blushing rica and couldn’t help but feel a twitch in his heart.
(Could it really be that just a garland managed to win over this Elf beauty who even noble lords couldn’t woo?)
Are the beautiful girls of the Otherworld so easy to bribe? Could there really be such a stunning Goddess who would fancy a dude with no car, no house, no savings?
(No, I’m not a loser either, I am the Hero chosen by the Goddess, the one destined by fate, how could I be a loser?)
Shane shook his head vigorously, trying to discard the self-image forming in his mind.
Although he had completely forgotten the mories concerning his past life, Shane had no clue about his family background in his previous life, but since he had forgotten, then his past life’s identity was irrelevant to his current self.
(Maybe I was a wealthy second generation?)
Shane could only mutter to himself in his heart, brainwashing himself.
As for the others, they were all looking at rica’s blushing deanor, each lost in thought.
“Mr. Magre seems to have done a good deed this ti,” Vivian said with a aningful smile, as if she had seen through sothing.
“Hmph…”
Tielle turned her head away as if she found the situation quite tedious.
“rica…?”
Lu Muya was still confused, looking at rica with surprise in her eyes.
“Um…”
rica never looked up, her face still as red as ever.
