"In other words, that female weirdo escaped?"
Xiao Lin, who had woken up, was listening to Liu Zi's report.
Because he had exerted all his strength, Kobayashi fell into a coma after being drained of physical, magical and spiritual power. During this period, Sword Princess Ais was defeated by the murderous female monster. The brave Finn and the Nine Demons Riveria tried to stop them, but in the end they were defeated. She ran away.
Even if they chased them to the 37th floor, they still didn't see the female weirdo.
"Sorry, that person is really strong."
Finn the Brave shook his right hand.
During the fight with the female monster, his fist hit the opponent's face firmly, but due to the interaction of force, the LV6 adventurer's finger was broken. You can imagine how rough and thick the female monster is. , no wonder he can resist Liu Zi's sickle with his physical body.
But Xiao Lin remembers that before he fell into coma, he asked Liu Zi not to leave her behind, right?
As if aware of the doubt, Liu Zi whispered venomously: "If Master Xiaolin is not unconscious, I can intercept her with all my strength, but..."
The hand holding Xiao Lin was slightly firm.
As Xiaolin's waiter, Liu Zi is a programmed automatic doll, and everything must be done to protect his safety.
When Xiaolin was in a coma and in a dangerous state, she would naturally not leave even half a step.
Xiao Lin, who wanted to understand, smiled slightly, touched her little face and said, "No, I'm not blaming you. And speaking of it, it's because I'm the boss, Liu Zi did nothing wrong."
"Yes, everything is Mr. Xiaolin's fault."
Liu Zi decisively threw the blame on Xiao Lin, leaving the master who wanted to find relief and win favor at a loss for words.
Forget it, he has long been immune to this level of venomous tongue.
Xiao Lin sat up, looked around at the ruins, and asked, "What's the situation now? Have all the monsters been eliminated? Are there any casualties?"
"The monsters have all been eliminated. Although there are no dead, there are many injured. Most of them can no longer be adventurers. Overall, the situation is not optimistic."
The brave Finn showed a sad expression.
The dungeon is always a dangerous area. Not everyone can save the day like the protagonist. Many times, if you are not careful, you will fall into dangerous situations. Even LV6 adventurers are in danger.
This riot in the security layer caused the death of many unsuspecting adventurers. It is not known whether the Loki Familia who did not handle the matter well will be involved.
Fortunately, the Loki family was in control of the situation, and no one died in this riot.
"Yeah."
Xiaolin sighed.
What can he do as an adventurer? At most, it's just to heal their wounds.
Then he told his idea. The brave Finn was slightly surprised when he heard it, but he had no reason to refuse.
“Being able to get treatment really helps a lot.”
He let out a breath.
This is the 18th floor, and treatment options are limited.
With someone who can use healing magic, you can imagine how many adventurers can be saved.
As for Xiaolin's treatment, he had heard the report from the Amazon sisters as early as the night of the monster festival.
"anyway……
Where are Miss Ais and Miss Riveria? "
There are many members of the Loki Familia here, but they still lack the key figures Sword Lady Ais and 'Mama-san' Riveria.
After hearing Xiao Lin's question, everyone complained.
"Miss Ais is practicing on the lower level."
"Because Aisi lost."
"The opponent is not weak either."
"That's it."
Listening to their garbled answers, Xiao Lin understood why.
There is no denying that the female weirdo is very strong, but her pride after losing just once is too strong.
It's a pity that others can't enlighten you about this kind of thing. You have to regain your confidence from the failure, or you can continue to be depressed.
Of course, with Sword Girl Ais's talent, she must be the former, otherwise she wouldn't stay at the lower level.
With the mediation of the Loki Familia and the name of healing magic, it went smoothly to gather the wounded from the entire security layer. After all, everyone wanted to heal their injuries as soon as possible.
Not long after, the wounded were treated.
Kobayashi was thanked by many adventurers, and therefore got the title of "Healer".
Thanks to him choosing the magic talent at LV2, otherwise he might not have been able to persist until the end.
"Well, that's pretty much it."
When the brave Finn saw that the entire security layer had been rescued, he already had the intention of retreating.
Due to the commotion on the 18th floor, there was not much food and medicine left, and he also wanted to go back and report to Loki as soon as possible. There are so many changes in the dungeon, and it’s impossible not to report them as soon as possible.
After looking at each other with his companions, he shouted loudly: "You guys, get ready, it's time to retreat."
"receive!"
"clear!"
"good!"
Loki's family members responded one after another.
Xiao Lin raised his hand and said: "I'll forget it. I have to clean up the mess here for the time being. There are still injured people who have not been rescued. Now is not the time to leave."
"okay, I get it."
The brave Finn left with his family members.
While Xiao Lin was being treated, Burruss sent a lot of medicines. Based on the idea of taking nothing for nothing, he pocketed all the medicines.
Exchanging or selling it with other people can bring in a lot of income. Think of it as payment for his hard work.
It wasn't until daylight returned on the 18th floor that Xiaolin completed the treatment of the wounded. At this time, Sword Princess Aisi and Nine Demons Riveria also happened to return from the lower floor.
It's just that the two of them were quite embarrassed.
No, if you look closely, you will see that although Sword Princess Ais is in tatters, her aura is stronger than before. Xiao Lin keenly sensed that she must have defeated a powerful enemy and broke through the inner barrier.
Already LV6?
Xiao Lin held his head and shouted in distress: "Ah ah ah, it's such a pity that I didn't see that scene."
Because of his [poor imitation], he can secretly learn the skills of the Sword Princess. But I didn't expect to be delayed and have no chance to go down.
Seeing him like this, Sword Girl Ais asked curiously: "Xiao Lin, you're awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"
"No, it's Miss Aisi. Are you okay?" Xiaolin stretched out his right hand and pointed it at her. At the same time, the palm of his hand lit up, and the healing magic was taking effect.
A moment later, except for the irrecoverable equipment, Aisi had recovered as before.
"It's really an amazing ability."
Riveria stared at Xiaolin's hands.
She also knew from the Amazon sisters that Xiaolin had healing magic, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw it with her own eyes.
Because it reminded her of a woman.
——Armid.
Ahmed Triasanare, she is a member of the Dianket family, and is familiar with Ais and others. And the magic she possesses [Dia Fratel] is a high-level healing magic. At the same time, it has the characteristics of healing wounds, restoring physical strength, expelling toxins, and canceling curses. It can use the three effects of "restoration", "detoxification" and "curse removal" separately. It can also act on multiple people and have a continuous effect. It is a personal A woman of unconventional cheating level.
"Thank you, Xiaolin."
"You're welcome, just think of it as a reward for leveling up."
"……Eh?"
"What, you haven't felt it yet?"
Seeing the confused look on her face, it was clear that Sword Princess Ais had not yet realized that she had achieved enough great achievements.
Xiao Lin smiled at her and said, "Congratulations, Miss Aisi, you have been promoted to LV6."
"Really?"
"real."
"……Very good."
Sword Princess Ais showed an obscure smile... No, not really. She still frowned slightly, as if she was worried.
Very strange.
According to Xiaolin's knowledge from the Amazon sisters, Sword Princess Ais should have a strong obsession with advancing to LV6. Now that she has broken through the boundaries and reached the long-awaited realm, why is she still so concerned about gains and losses?
Kobayashi cast doubtful eyes on Riveria, and Riveria, who was temporarily serving as 'Mama-san', shook her head slightly.
understood.
Maybe it's because I don't have a real sense of it yet, or I feel that even if I advance to LV6, I still can't defeat that female weirdo, so that's why I'm like this.
"Then just keep getting stronger."
"……Um?"
"If LV6 cannot defeat the opponent, then become LV7, or even LV8 or LV9, so that Miss Ais can defeat her. Although there is only one LV7 in Labyrinth City now, it does not mean that there is none. Don't worry, you You will become a strong person and reach a realm that no one can touch, Miss Ais. I believe in you, and your companions also believe in you."
Chicken Soup for the Soul is his best!
Whether it's these inspiring words or the Axis Cult's blame-shifting, Xiao Lin is extremely good at dealing with this kind of lost little girl, and he can be called a spiritual mentor!
Sword Princess Ais was silent for a long time.
Finally, she bowed her head slightly to Xiao Lin and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Xiao Lin responded with another smile.
Brief, but incredibly heartfelt.
The Ninth Demon Girl Riveria, who was also standing behind Sword Princess Ais, also cast a grateful look. This Elf Royal Family who plays the role of mother in the family has been having a headache for Ais since she was a child. But she couldn't accept it if the princess, who had devoted so much of her thoughts, just fell into depression.
Xiao Lin's appearance just led Sword Girl to break through the barrier and get out of her confusion.
"By the way, do Miss Ais and Miss Riveria want to rest and recuperate here, or are they going back now? If possible, why don't we go together?" Xiao Lin asked for their opinions.
Riveria looked at the Sword Lady beside her and asked, "Ais, how are you doing? Do you want to take a rest?"
"No, no problem." Sword Girl Ais shook her head.
Xiaolin's healing magic is very strong. She originally had some wounds on her body. Although they were not conspicuous, they still had a certain impact on her actions. After all, she just fought against the floor master on the 37th floor. But now, she can move freely.
"In that case, let's go together."
"Um."
"It's good, we can take care of each other."
Xiaolin's suggestion was instantly adopted by the two women.
There was no question of repaying the favor, because Xiao Lin's existence was actually much more important than them.
On the security floor, with thanks from Burrus and other adventurers, the four of them walked up the stairs to the upper floor.
Come to the 5th floor.
As soon as he entered the upper corridor, Xiao Lin saw a figure lying on the ground. The short white hair, lean body, and scarred appearance always feel familiar for some reason.
"that is……"
When I took a closer look, I realized that this was Bell, the coward?
"Why is he here?"
Xiao Lin asked subconsciously.
Riveria, the Nine Demon Girl, leaned down, checked for a moment and said, "He must have exhausted his magic power. He must have used magic recklessly and fell here from exhaustion."
"Exhausted..."
Xiao Lin's mouth moved slightly.
What the hell is this stupid newbie doing? The adventurer's handbook clearly states that when your body reaches its limit or you feel uncomfortable, you must leave the dungeon in time. Why did you collapse here from exhaustion?
I remembered.
He must have acquired new magic from an expensive magic book, so he couldn't hold back his inner turmoil and rashly ran to the dungeon to test the magic.
Seeing Bell sleeping soundly, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a sense of malice.
If he told adventure consultant Eina about this, he would definitely be severely punished.
Okay, I'll tell her when I get back.
Ais was obviously startled when she saw Bell: "This person..."
"What, Ace, do you know him?" Riveria asked curiously.
"He is the kid who was sprayed into tomatoes by the Minotaur during the last expedition of the noble family. Yes, he is the novice adventurer that Mr. Bert made a lot of nonsense in the tavern and maliciously slandered him." Xiaolin interjected and briefly explained Bell's identity. tell her.
Riveria was also stunned for a moment and said: "So that's it, is this the person?"
At the same time, a feeling of apology arose in my heart.
Each member of his family is more bohemian than the last, and they are all difficult problem children to handle, like the twisted character of the werewolf Burt. Although he is not bad in nature, he looks down on the weak and he always likes to use such words to seriously hurt others.
It's not just him who is mature, he also becomes a strong person bit by bit from a weak person.
"Sorry, you two go back first, and then I'll send him back to the Adventurer's Guild." Xiao Lin made a gesture to carry the unconscious Bell.
"Um……"
Riveria pondered.
At this time, Ais asked slightly coyly: "Riveria, I want to compensate this person, what should I do best?"
"compensate?"
Riveria was slightly startled.
This kind of thing has never happened before, and her princess never discussed it with her. She didn't expect it to happen because of this boy.
"In that case..."
Riveria began to respond.
——————
I got magic!
That’s right, magic!
Although Master Kami said that magic would not escape and that it would be too late to use it again tomorrow, the joy of obtaining magic could no longer be suppressed, so he quietly came to the dungeon in the middle of the night.
The magic is strong!
The magic is very strong!
In the past, monsters that required constant maneuvering to defeat can now be defeated easily with just one shot of magic.
However, he is reckless and does not know how to control himself.
Just like a young boy who has just tasted the taste, after tasting the delicious food, he will only squeeze it, regardless of whether his body can bear it.
That's why he passed out here.
Although the body cannot move, the consciousness is allowed to remain.
"Sorry, after you two go back first, I will send him back to the Adventurer's Guild."
"Rivelia, I want to make it up to him."
"Compensation? In that case..."
At this moment, a warm breath enveloped him, his sinking body and consciousness continued to rise, and his eyes moved slightly and opened.
"Well……"
He made a warning sound, and his blurred vision continued to clear. What caught his eye was the long golden hair that he had longed for for a long time and an appearance comparable to that of a god.
Bell subconsciously murmured: "Mom?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not your mother." The girl replied calmly.
"Hallucination?"
"It's not an illusion."
The girl's answer made Bell wake up instantly and break out in a cold sweat.
Eh?
What?
what happened?
This posture, this situation, could it be... could it be... from the legend...
"It's a knee pillow."
"!!!"
"But unfortunately, it's my knee pillow."
"Mr. Xiaolin?!!!"
Only then did Bell realize that he was resting on Xiao Lin's lap, not the Sword Princess he thought.
"Oh, it's me who is the knee pillow that Bell misses so much. Are you feeling disappointed?"
"Uh-huh--"
Bell's face instantly turned red after being teased. He didn't even give Xiaolin a chance to speak, so he turned over and ran away while yelling.
……what happened?
Sword Girl Ais felt even more depressed when she saw him escaping.
Xiao Lin scratched his head and said: "So, as I said, the beautiful girl Miss Ais should do this kind of knee pillow. Look, scare him away."
"But Xiaolin should also make amends to him." Ais muttered in a low voice.
"What?"
"Because [Monster Feast] was caused by you, Xiaolin, so Xiaolin also made the knee pillow that Riveria said."
Because you have to compensate, you need a knee pillow.
But in fact, Aisi felt that Xiaolin was at greater fault, so why would she let him be a lap pillow for Bell? Could it be that she thought this was an apology in the form of punishment?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud, and almost burst into tears.
"Puff, puff hahaha————"
"...Why are you laughing?"
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to laugh. But...Pfft hahaha...I didn't expect Miss Ais to be so innocent and so cute...Pfft hahaha——"
"Well!"
Seeing Xiao Lin's unstoppable smile, Aisi naturally puffed up her mouth, as if to express her dissatisfaction.
Honestly, she's really cute.
