Chapter 178: Days Living With the Hero
Rin looked at the money bag in his hand, his eyes a bit confused.
What nonsense is this naughty child saying, or is he… pretending to be a circus clown being watched?
Seeing the dead bat laughing like it was turning into a human-faced spider, he guessed that there was a big problem with the words he couldn’t understand.
Although he couldn’t ask right now, it didn’t stop Rin from playing the role of a villain.
Without hesitation, he gave the little girl a karate chop on her head.
The other person didn’t expect him to actually dare to do something, so they just stood still, even forgetting to rub their head.
Then, she lowered her head, her body slightly trembling, as if something was about to burst out from inside her.
A strange feeling caught the attention of Sha Ye and Emilia, but it quickly disappeared, leaving no trace. They thought it was just a momentary illusion.
At that moment, Rin saw that she was still daydreaming, so he lightly tapped the money bag on her head.
"You silly child, always talking nonsense. You should be grateful that I am lenient. If it were someone else, you would have already been beaten up. Even so, you won’t have another chance with me!"
Sha Ye scratched the back of her head, puzzled by her previous illusion, and casually said, "You foolish radish, are you dumb? How can a little child like her handle money? Just as she walked out…"
She intended to say that as soon as she walked out the door, her money would be taken, but then she thought again that this strange child had a sharp wit, seeming quite clever.
"Forget it, I’ll just take it. It’s better to take the evil kid’s money and not give it back."
The little girl held the money bag in one hand and rubbed her head with the other, her bangs pushed aside, revealing a deep purple eye, full of bewilderment.
Purple eyes were rare in the other world, and Suyu was one of them, although her purple eyes were completely different from the young girl’s.
Suyu’s eyes were a pure purple, shining like amethyst in the dim light, with warm tones, while the girl in front of her had blue-purple eyes, darker and with cool tones.
"Hmm?"
Sha Ye suddenly squinted her eyes, leaned in close to the girl, and pushed her bangs up, revealing her whole face.
The girl was probably around ten years old, at most twelve, thin and pale, with delicate cheekbones and a slightly pointed chin, making her look much younger than Rin’s boyish face.
Her blue-purple hair matched Sha Ye’s disguise color, and also the color of her eyes, giving her a very quiet and gentle look.
She couldn’t be described as very cute, only as delicate and pretty.
At this moment, she slightly lifted her chin, looked into Sha Ye’s eyes, her eyes calm, showing no signs of anything unusual.
After examining for a while, Sha Ye’s furrowed brows relaxed, she touched her chin and said with a smile, "It’s okay, it’s okay, this little one will surely grow up to be a beauty."
Rin felt a shiver, he remembered that the bat was a deadly lily.
He reached out and pushed away Sha Ye’s hand, "Are you feeling sick again?"
"Nonsense, I just felt this person strangely familiar… Well, you know I have a sister, and she’s a forever young girl. It was just a moment of illusion earlier, actually they are completely different in appearance, aura, and personality…"
Saying that, Sha Ye glanced at the little girl, who had a bit of her belly showing due to her short top, but there were no similar patterns on it, which made her relax.
The girl with purple hair’s eyes sparkled, continuing in a sweet voice, "She looks fierce but is a kind sister. Since you invited me to dinner, I don’t mind you calling me sister."
"Thunk!"
This time it was Sha Ye’s turn to be stunned.
"Wow, this person talks more annoyingly than a short dead man."
The little girl opened her mouth to speak, but the waiter was already approaching with plates, followed closely by Yan Zhi, so she said nothing in the end.
Several people sat around and had a special breakfast. The little girl seemed very hungry, but unexpectedly, she had good manners. Even though not noble, she was still very elegant.
She was the first one to finish eating. She quietly sat and waited for most people to finish, then stood up and politely bowed to them.
"Thank you very much, dear brother and kind sisters. I will leave now."
Yan Zhi, not ignoring her, was a bit surprised, "Oh, are you not going to the orphanage?"
"I’m not an orphan. And you, sir, with a confused look, are you from Zaun? Anyway, goodbye."
Rin raised his eyebrows, as this girl had planned to follow them from the beginning but now was leaving so decisively, which was unexpected.
Sha Ye quickly asked, "Little one, you haven’t told us your name yet."
The girl smirked slightly and said, "We will meet soon."
After nodding to everyone again, she left the room without hesitation.
"Is it really okay to leave this child alone?" Yan Zhi asked.
"Hmph." Rin sarcastically remarked, "This annoying brat managed to survive this long, must have some special qualities. Ignore her, I have to go buy souvenirs."
With that, he stood up first, left to pay the bill, then bought various octopus-themed crafts from the market that Yuki might like, and then headed to the port.
With Yan Zhi leading the way, they quickly passed through the security checkpoint and stepped onto the stairs leading to the huge cruise ship.
Finally, Yan Zhi bid farewell to the others and went about his own business.
Instead of sailors and crew members, they were greeted by a well-dressed, attractive female attendant who handed each of them three keys before guiding them to their cabins and providing an introduction.
"Dear guests, your cabins are on this deck, with the most luxurious VIP room at the very end. It’s the top-tier accommodation on our ship, and we will do our best to serve you in every way."
"However, please keep the keys safe. There is only one spare key for the VIP room, and it has been sent to the Magic Research Institute for anti-theft treatment. So currently, the key you hold is the only one."
Upon hearing this, Emilia’s eyes glinted unusually, and she quickly stashed the finely crafted, miniature magic key into her inventory, before returning to her usual state.
The three of them were all cramped in the carriage, naturally very tired, and couldn’t wait to reach the three rooms right next to each other.
The attendant bent down to pick up their luggage, reminded them once again of the precautions, then turned and left.
Sha Ye quickly opened the door and went in, leaving no noise after closing the door.
Rin opened the door on his side, just as he walked in, Emilia was faster than him, she crouched and squeezed in from his side.
Then, the lifeless gaze fell upon the bed.
"Waste Hero, why aren’t you sleeping in your own room? What are you doing here with me?"
Emilia responded smoothly, "I lost the key. From now on, Tundere and I will live together and share the same bed."
