Chapter 130: Lengthens Courage
Just as he finished speaking, the Lord Demon King lazily walked out of a nearby shop.
"I heard you guys arguing from far away. Little brother~ Missed me, huh? I couldn't sleep thinking about you."
"Don't say things that make my stomach feel like worms are crawling in it. If you miss me, you should have come earlier."
Rin glanced at the name of the shop she walked out of; it was an alchemy workshop, but he didn't pay much attention. The book mentioned that Suyu's industries were all over several continents.
Letting go of Elise's ahoge hair and Waste Hero's face, Rin straightened his clothes, regaining his proud look. "Since everyone is here, let's set off!"
Saying that, Rin opened the list given by the academy, shook it, and walked quickly to the front.
"Ding, due to special reasons, the system experienced a disconnection, it has now reconnected, and the Villainous Achievement rewards will be distributed as usual."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for once again ruthlessly attacking the third female lead Elise, and achieving the outcome of making Elise cry from the attack.
Unlocked Villainous Achievement: Cruel Flower (Mid).
Received achievement reward, Holy Light Warrior title ability enhanced, light-based healing magic further increases your healing ability, the visibility barrier caused by Holy Light further diminishes, meanwhile the immunity effect of light-based attack magic slightly increases."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully portraying the pitiful and hateful nature of the antagonist, ending up being picked up and ridiculed by a stranger, reaching an unprecedented level of embarrassment.
Unlocked Villainous Achievement: Courageous Coward (Small).
Received achievement reward: Blunt weapon resistance significantly enhanced, when faced with blunt force, resistance is stronger and less prone to dizziness and fractures.
Triggered hidden Villainous Achievement again, Easy to Deceive (Small), as this achievement is unique, rewards cannot be obtained.
"Please keep going, face more challenges bravely, and accept the world with courage."
Rin stumbled and got extremely angry in an instant.
You! Why didn't you show up before? Just when I almost forgot about it, you suddenly come out to provoke me intentionally?
"What does the 'lying on the bed of spears, tasting gall from the pot' have to do with my grandfather's experience?"
"This system is really terrible. I will remember this grudge and take revenge."
Little did they know that a certain AI was feeling very aggrieved.
The evil master watched as her brother's staff was hidden by someone. She was so angry that she punched the screen, breaking Qiuqiu's shelter.
Not only that, she kept muttering that she must protect her brother's innocence, busying herself with using dark powers to continue deceiving her followers.
After a while, she finally remembered about Qiuqiu, an AI, and made a new home for it...
At that time, Qiuqiu was withdrawing into a corner, pretending to be disconnected for a long time.
Rin walked confidently ahead, giving off a villainous vibe, while Lord Demon King curiously listened to the jumble of thoughts in his heart, wondering if this little pet was scolding her again.
Following behind were the silly elk and Waste Hero, both holding cards, with the silly elk's hair bouncing as they stared intensely at the last two cards, hoping the foolish cat would draw the ghost card.
Emilia was also on edge, the last time she faced this situation, she ended up losing the crucial card to the lucky deer.
Waste Hero's hand moved back and forth between the two cards, and the silly elk's hair acted like a pointer, swaying with Waste Hero's hand movements.
Emilia tilted her head, gazing at Elise for a while and noticing the silly elk trying to keep a straight face, intentionally keeping their gaze in the middle, making it impossible to judge their expression.
So Miss Hero relied on the guidance of the goddess, then quickly drew a card according to the guidance.
Elise opened her mouth wide with a "wow," then sadly let her ahoge hair droop, saying, "Sob, this time I will reluctantly let Emilia win, but the silly cat shouldn't go too far."
Well, although a certain deer had a strong possessiveness, they had no way of competing with Waste Hero.
A hero who was getting ready to marry Rin in order to defeat the Demon King felt overwhelmed, especially with other women eyeing him. So, the silly elk just covered his ears and accepted it.
Luckily, nothing strange happened along the way.
According to the rules of the team hunting competition, weapons are provided by the organizers, but participants need to buy their own armor and equipment because everyone has different preferences and sizes.
Of course, equipment must be of low quality and within the specified range.
Additionally, each team can only have one teleportation device. If a team doesn't have one, they can get it from the organizers. Participants also need to bring their own tents, sleeping bags, and other daily necessities, which will be strictly checked before the competition.
Food and water are provided by the organizers, and each person receives three days' worth of standard rations.
Rin's task is to check the list of daily items he can bring and buy supplies accordingly.
On the journey, everything went smoothly with no issues from the companions. Rin also prepared a lot of supplies for their poor companion, Sword Saint, and even bought her some clothes after estimating her size.
When passing by a clothing store, Rin hesitated for a while. In the end, he thought that Sword Saint wasn't so clueless that she couldn't take care of herself, and he was also a bit scared to enter, so he gave up.
After lunch, Suyu left hastily with Rin and silly elk Waste Hero to walk around, and then they went their separate ways.
When they got home, there were a lot of people in the house. Rin didn't even check if Yuki was there, he just went straight to the study.
It wasn't until dinner time that Sword Saint still hadn't returned. Rin found out that she was still at school for a meeting.
After taking a shower in his room, Rin spread out his books as usual to continue studying.
After a while, Rin heard the sound of the door unlocking. He put down his pen and turned around to see Yuki entering the room.
Yuki stood tall and dignified, with a somewhat tired expression despite her strict and authoritative demeanor.
During this period, she had been busy with individual and team selections, and was soon to lead a hunting competition. Sword Saint was getting annoyed with all the tasks.
If it weren't for the chance to leave for the capital city with her brother, she would have left for a mission long ago.
"My silly sister, are you back on an empty stomach again?"
Yuki nodded and eagerly watched her younger brother.
Suddenly, her cute and clever little brother took out a metal lunch box, warmed it with a fireball in his hand, and handed it to her.
"I knew you must be starving, so take it without hesitation!"
The Sword Saint's gentle gaze softened even more as he wagged his tail, eagerly watching Rin until Rin impatiently opened the lunch box to feed her, which made her close her eyes contentedly.
Having a younger brother was truly wonderful.
After working hard outside all day, coming home to see her brother welcoming her and preparing food for her made her feel so happy.
Her brother would surely be a good...
