Chapter 180: Guess Whose Base It Is
"Vroom, vroom…"
The sound of the ship’s horn echoed through the cabin, making the air heavy, accompanied by a slight tremor as the cruise ship set sail.
Emilia usually slept deeply, but when the horn sounded, her body instinctively tensed up, and she opened her eyes abruptly.
Her gaze was unfocused for a moment, she rubbed her eyes, quickly clearing her head due to Hero’s talent.
Looking around, her gaze finally settled on Rin, who was sleeping deeply from exhaustion.
Upon seeing him, Miss Hero’s tense body relaxed, and her slightly raised upper body eased back onto the bed.
She realized that the horn was not coming from the old fishing village, but from their current "honeymoon" trip.
Do you remember when you were young, the fishing boats in the village would gather at the dock early in the morning, set sail in formation, and the lead boat would sound the horn?
Back then, she was lively and active, always sneaking into the cabin, wanting to sail with her father’s boat. The vast sea was a symbol of freedom to her at first.
Although she would always be caught and sent back to the village, she still enjoyed it, eagerly awaiting the sound of the horn when the boats returned. She would cheer, rush into her father’s arms, and then be lifted onto his shoulders.
Even when she was chosen as a hero and couldn’t be mischievous anymore, she still waited for her father to come back as usual.
At first, her father would still pat her head, even though the attitudes of the people around them had changed…
When did she become a child that no one wanted to be close to?
From when the King of Oulu Duchy came himself, to when she was summoned by the Holy Empire Emperor who led humanity, the distinct gap in status, the gossip of others, and the emotions she couldn’t express led to her current state.
The sound of the horn signaling departure every day meant a lot of troublesome requests would come in one after another. Finally waiting for the returning horn, she could no longer rush into her father’s arms and be lifted up high as before.
She couldn’t even manage to hold his rough hand.
This awkward feeling continued until the birth of the younger sister… but it didn’t develop in a good direction, instead pushing her further away.
"Mmm."
Emilia made a deep sound of unknown emotion, refocused her thoughts on the sleeping Rin, and gently poked his cheek.
Rin couldn’t rest properly on the carriage, being a young body, he naturally slept heavily and could not be woken up no matter what.
His sleeping posture was exceptionally peaceful and obedient, contrasting sharply with her own.
Falling off the bed in the middle of the night was a common occurrence for Waste Hero, as she would instinctively curl up in a corner every night.
Moving closer to gaze at Rin’s face, then getting up to lie on him and continue staring, the expressionless Hero crept around the bed like a cat, quietly circling to the other side to keep watching.
Changing angles several times in a row, Waste Hero felt content, almost needing a cat tail to sway back and forth.
She had always lived alone in the school dormitory, numerous times wishing to be together with the tsundere, and now finally her wish had come true. If only it could stay like this forever.
Thinking about this, Emilia tilted her head and looked at Rin’s face. She licked her lips a few times, then curled up in his arms, hugged his waist, rubbed against him, and made a satisfied "meow" sound.
Before long, the gentle and soothing sound of breathing, unlike any she had ever experienced since becoming a hero, let her sleep soundly for the first time.
Cats can sleep for a long time.
So when Rin woke up, he should have sat up in bed as usual. However, after trying instinctively for a while, he couldn’t sit up and could only lie flat, staring at the ceiling.
It took a while for his consciousness to slowly return.
Along with the returning consciousness, there was a feeling of being tied up like with a rope, unable to move his body.
When Rin turned his gaze, he saw the blue hair leaning against his shoulder and remembered what had happened before, smoothing out his furrowed brow.
It turned out to be Waste Hero… This guy really can’t sleep honestly.
At this moment, Emilia had one arm resting near his shoulder, the other wrapped around his arm, and a slim fair leg tightly pressing him down, making him feel like an octopus.
Rin reached out and grabbed her arm, slowly moved it aside, then struggled to move her leg away. Just as he was about to sit up, Emilia suddenly meowed, opened her eyes and stared straight at him?
Even though it wasn’t the first time he woke up next to someone intimately, Rin still felt a bit embarrassed seeing the other person so close.
After hesitating for a while, he greeted, "Silly cat, morning… huh?"
Emilia blinked, quickly decided to ride him, sat up, grabbed his collar, and also greeted, "Morning, meow."
"Meow my foot, you’re not getting off yet, you’re addicted to sitting, huh?"
Waste Hero didn’t explain much either, she lowered her head and climbed up, her hair hanging down tickling Rin’s face, he reached out to move it aside before continuing to kiss.
After sticking together for a while, Waste Hero suddenly raised her head seriously, "Tundere, plus a blunt tool."
"Eh? That… that’s just a normal magical reaction!"
"Oh."
Waste Hero didn’t care much, feeling a bit uncomfortable, she shifted her position, ignoring Rin’s strained and uncomfortable expression, and continued to play cards.
After a while, Emilia rolled over, agilely stood up, and started fixing her slightly messy hair.
On the other hand, Rin sat up slowly, covering his collar, and glanced at Emilia with a look of disgust hiding a hint of affection.
This guy is definitely taking advantage of the situation.
However, his "resentful" gaze didn’t last long before turning frantic. He jumped up, swatting away Hero Meow’s paw that was lifting Emilia’s nightgown.
"What are you doing?! Have some shame! I’m right here!"
With that, unable to resist, he gave her a discreet signal, pulling down her nightgown, and walked quickly into the bathroom.
Waste Hero felt embarrassed but tried to hide it, even though he was still in an embarrassing situation.
For some reason, the more he became friends with these silly people, the more the magic device responded.
At that moment, Rin could almost understand why girls in the stories he read when he was young were in such dangerous situations.
He really didn’t know what magical power they had.
Checking the time, it was only half past eleven, which meant he had slept for less than six hours.
No wonder he still felt a bit sleepy now, but it was fine, otherwise he might have trouble sleeping at night.
After washing his face to wake up, Waste Hero changed into clean clothes and walked in, holding a toothbrush in his pale hand, and approached Rin.
"You can brush again tonight! And brush your own teeth; stop bothering me all the time."
Rin rolled his eyes at her, ignoring her disappointed look as she dropped her arm, and walked out.
