Chapter 234: Your Daughter Ran Off to a Room With a Man!

A room without windows cannot feel the morning sunlight.

Rin woke up because of his internal clock, he sat up as usual and stared blankly.

Miss Hero slipped to the side because of his movement, curling up again.

After a while, Rin came back to his senses from a daze, stretched lazily, but found his arms a bit numb. He turned his head to look at Waste Hero beside him and understood what happened.

Maybe his arm was uncomfortable from being hugged all night.

Waste Hero had a strange habit of needing to hold onto something while sleeping, otherwise he would curl up in bed or even sleep in the corner of the room.

She probably had the worst sleeping position.

The Black Fox had the best sleeping posture, lying down at night and waking up in the morning the same way, keeping a close distance but not completely sticking together.

The silly elk sleeps pretty well, but always sticks close, feeling a bit hot in the middle of the night.

That poor girl… She is super disciplined, always trying not to disturb her own sleep at night, willingly returning to her room to sleep, no matter what sleeping position.

What? You’re asking what sleeping position the evil god has?

She’s all messed up in her day and night, sleeps for a short time, usually likes to lie on the table to sleep, of course, her sleeping position looks much better than her appearance.

Oh, why think about these things so early in the morning.

Rin shook his head, feeling more and more abnormal, usually in the morning, he would think about today’s lessons.

Why now suddenly caring about others’ sleeping positions?

Coming back to his senses, he glanced at Emilia lying on her side.

Emilia sleeping… ignoring the damp pillow, looks quiet and obedient.

Her light blue long hair covered part of her face. Even in the dim room, her hair seemed to emit a faint halo, making it look somewhat unreal.

At this moment, this person, who is usually quiet, suddenly did something unexpected that startled others.

Rin casually opened the magic lamp and brushed aside the blue hair covering her face. He quietly admired the sleeping beauty of the hero.

However, not long after, the faint smile that appeared immediately turned into a shocked expression.

Suddenly, the sleeping Waste Hero rolled over and smoothly moved into his arms, like a graceful dance.

Then, she started brushing all over his face smoothly.

It was like a hungry cat licking its owner’s face out of affection in the morning…almost exactly the same.

Within seconds, his face was covered in cold saliva. Rin, feeling disgusted, grabbed her face and pulled her away while complaining.

"Early in the morning, without even brushing your teeth. Is that clean?"

"Meow."

When Rin let go of his hand, Waste Hero squinted and pitifully rubbed his slightly red face, shaking the two tufts of blue hair on the sides of his head.

"So troublesome."

Rin muttered, stood up, was about to change clothes, suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at Emilia.

Emilia was still wearing his shirt, sitting like a duck, staring straight at him, completely ignoring her own long and fair legs exposed outside.

Rin took off his pajamas and put them directly on her head.

Waste Hero took a while to react, reaching out to remove the clothes covering her, only to hear Rin’s stern warning voice.

"Don’t take it off, sit there obediently and don’t move, be good and listen."

Fortunately, Waste Hero, who had just woken up, had a relatively normal and obedient mind, and indeed sat still without moving.

Rin quickly changed his square trousers and put on his clothes again, then he peeled off the clothes on her head.

Miss Hero’s hair became messy as a result, just as Rin was about to tidy it up, she shook her head, and her blue wavy hair became smooth and silky.

Scratching the few ahoge hairs that were standing up on his head, Rin envied her and lightly tapped her head.

"Lazy cat, don’t daydream, hurry up and change your clothes."

As he was about to walk out, his coat tail was grabbed.

"Listen, reward."

"What reward? Have you forgotten that I am your biggest creditor? You should behave and listen to me obediently without expecting any rewards."

"Reward, reward."

Emilia remained unmoved, staring straight at Rin, holding onto a corner of his clothes tightly.

Looking at her, her fresh, misty blue eyes seemed a bit damp, gently shifting under the light. Even though her face showed no expression, Rin could sense her playfulness and hopefulness.

His once again hesitant heart softened, unwillingly struggled for a few moments, and finally quickly gave her a peck on the corner of her lips.

"Okay, I suppose that’s settled then."

"Meow."

Emilia joyfully meowed, a proactive good morning kiss, which could brighten her mood from the early morning.

"Always so cute."

Carelessly patting her head, Rin urged her once more, then turned and left the room, closing the door while standing guard outside.

This hero is turning into a cat more and more, remembering how well he was just when they met.

Since when did this start?

Hmm, it seems like on my last birthday, I meowed suddenly, and since then, it has been happening more and more often.

But maybe this fellow was originally a cat reincarnated, or has some bloodline of a half-animal, half-human cat tribe.

Lost in thoughts for a while, the door behind me was opened.

The drowsy little cat transformed once again into a graceful and elegant girl without any flaws.

"My clothes… never mind."

Up until now, he still hadn’t gotten back anything from the thief hero, so it’s better not to think about it, it’s just a shirt after all.

As long as it’s not underwear, a shirt or similar items were fine to give her.

After quickly freshening up with Waste Hero, Rin opened the driver’s cabin and noticed a helmsman whose name he didn’t know, still sleeping on the ground, so he took a step forward and nudged him awake.

"You scoundrel, you actually woke up later than me, hurry up and get up, let’s start working."

After kicking the helmsman awake and giving him some pieces of bread, Rin left the cockpit. He hadn’t walked far when he suddenly noticed something was amiss.

"By the way, where is that little girl?"

"Hmm?"

Waste Hero tilted his head, then pointed to a box beside the mast.

Rin approached and looked inside the opened box, where he saw a small girl curled up.

She was clutching a book tightly in her hands, with tear stains on her face.

"Could this guy have been reading all night?"

Rin glanced up at the light hanging on the mast and casually turned it off.

Just as he was about to reach for the book, Betty suddenly woke up, tightly gripping the book, and warily looking at Rin with a faint glow in her purple eyes.

At that moment, Rin felt like the air around him had frozen, and the temperature dropped rapidly.

Waste Hero suddenly pulled Rin behind him, with his own long sword in hand.

Just as she drew out her long sword, the cold feeling vanished into thin air. Betty rubbed her eyes and groggily said, "Good morning, everyone."

She yawned and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, looking very cute and silly.

It seemed like the powerful aura they had felt before was just an illusion.

Rin, of course, knew it wasn’t his imagination. Didn’t Hero also feel something was off and stood in front of him?

"What’s wrong, quiet miss?"

Waste Hero carefully observed her for a moment, then turned to look at Rin. After a few seconds of eye contact with Rin, he sheathed his sword.

"I… just suddenly felt a dangerous presence."

"It must be an illusion."

Betty crawled out of the box and ended up falling to the ground. She slowly stood up, apologized with "excuse me," and then returned to her quiet self.

Rin still hasn’t snapped out of it.

More and more suspicions arose about Betty, it was certain that she was hiding something.

The hero’s Observation Eye, as mentioned in the book, will have one more upgrade, so it’s not the complete version yet.

Even so, there weren’t many things that could escape her eyes.

If Waste Hero could see her issues, they would have told her already. The fact that they hadn’t said anything meant that the Observation Eye couldn’t spot any problems.

Something that could deceive the Observation Eye…

Rin felt it was best not to provoke any trouble and part ways quickly once they reached Bicester City.

Oh no, what if this person is actually very important? Will she hold me accountable for scolding her last night?

Betty didn’t react much, she just picked up a book and handed it to Rin.

"By the way, here is the book, I have finished reading it, so you can have it back."

"Oh… okay."

Rin took back the book and acted as if nothing had happened. Even though Waste Hero’s sudden vigilance behavior seemed odd before, the girl didn’t react much either, so they both understood each other without saying anything.

Absent-mindedly, he took the book from Betty, but then heard her ask.

"The last page says ‘to be continued,’ so, is there a sequel?"

Rin glanced at the book title, not paying much attention when he grabbed it earlier, but now the name seemed… really strange.

Does anyone really want to read this thing?

"Should be around, it says ‘Volume One’ on the cover, do you want to read it? I only have this book."

Betty smiled gently and said, "Not really, I just wonder what kind of confidence the author has to plan for the next book."

"？"

"Can only say, it’s well written, but next time, don’t force it."

Keeping a smile, she spoke mockingly in the most casual tone.

At that moment, Rin suddenly realized there was still much for him to learn.

Emilia also asked curiously, "So, the writing isn’t good?"

"It’s not very bad either, it’s just that the main character’s personality in it feels inexplicable, which is somewhat acceptable. However, as the story progresses, the pace accelerates while the characters and plot become more superficial."

"To put it this way, relying on pace to attract readers, while somewhat effective, it’s difficult to reach the level of a masterpiece."

Rin saw her very professional comments and murmured to himself, "I don’t know why, but it feels like getting shot in the knee by an author who slacks off during the day and updates at midnight."

"Anyway, there is still a lot of room for growth, but before fully growing, I don’t want to read anymore."

"You talk as if you understand novels very well."

"I know a little bit, even though people… even though the novels here are different from the ones at my home, more imaginative, but they still have a similar ending."

Seeing her arrogant attitude, Rin really wanted to retort with "if you can do it, then do it, if not, don’t brag."

However, thinking about the dangerous atmosphere from before, he held back the words at the tip of his tongue.

On the other hand, Betty seemed to sense what he wanted to say and replied seriously, "But I still have to thank it, as it sparked my interest in writing novels."

"Alright alright, suit yourself."

After casually responding a few times, Rin brought out a sandwich and handed it to her, saying, "You should eat first."

"Thank you, kind boy. Of course, I will prove that I am capable."

Rin smiled slightly, tried hard to hold back for a while, but couldn’t hide his sarcastic expression in the end. Without saying anything, he took Waste Hero to the other side for breakfast.

While having breakfast, the little whaling ship started to pull up its anchor and set sail again.

…

The next afternoon, the ship arrived at the dock of Bicester City as scheduled.

After paying the docking fee, walking on the cobblestone road leading from the dock into the city, Rin glanced at the town buildings for a while but quickly lost interest.

Bicester City looked even worse than Coral City. The roads were dirty and cluttered, filled with old green buildings and potholes everywhere.

Here, they used a widespread simple alchemy method for salt production. One of the inexpensive materials used in it produced a large amount of waste gas polluting the air, similar to the Earth’s industrial revolution.

The sky was gloomy with smog, and the whole city had a decaying smell.

Near the city, Rin saw the sky getting dark, thinking it might rain soon. He learned from the captain that it’s just how Bicester City is.

The waste gas created by the media isn’t very spreadable, so it stays mainly over Bicester City without spreading far outside.

So it looked like there was a huge dark cloud only over the town.

"It’s better not to stay too long in Bicester City, let’s leave tomorrow."

Rin quickly made a decision.

The captain, who was following behind them, hurriedly moved closer with a pleading expression on his face.

"Young Master Rin… Is it okay for me to leave?"

"Why the hurry? We still need the boat. Later, you can go refuel the energy on the ship."

The captain’s face immediately fell, looking sad and hesitant, not daring to say much, not even asking for money.

"Hurry up and leave, come back soon, don’t forget the Heartbroken Powder in three days."

Feeling the wallet in his pocket, the helmsman gritted his teeth and jogged off to do a task.

"Well then, I will take my leave now, hope to see you again someday."

Betty nodded goodbye to the two of them, didn’t wait for Rin to say anything, and turned to leave with the crowd.

With the timed bomb gone, Rin finally relaxed, and took Waste Hero to find a hotel.

Under Emilia’s strong insistence, Rin reluctantly opened a luxurious room.

As they went upstairs and opened the room door, before they could close the door, Miss Hero immediately took off her cloak, eagerly grabbed his tie and tried to kiss him.

Rin scolded her while frantically closing the door.

Neither of them noticed a man carrying a sack pass by, who stared at them wide-eyed, waited for the door to close, and then ran off belatedly.

…

Xingzhi Islands, Nameless Village.

A fishing boat docked by the shore, a middle-aged man with blue hair leaped down and started unloading the harvest with others from the boat.

A strong man ran towards here, panting heavily.

He ran while yelling.

"Big brother! Your daughter… Miss Hero has returned! She even brought your son-in-law back!"

The middle-aged man’s face showed some excitement and mixed emotions, but quickly calmed down, looking a bit confused.

"Son-in-law? Who is the son-in-law?"

"I saw Miss Hero, having a room with a young man! It must be your son-in-law who didn’t run away."
