Chapter 236: Safe on Base…Kind Of? (1)

Elise felt very wronged.

Looking at the messy cat paw prints on the letter paper, like a precious painting being ruined by a mischievous child, her nose tingled and she almost cried.

Why is this happening?

Why was Emilia in Little Rin’s room so late?

And saying Little Rin is delicious? Where’s the delicious part!

Thinking like this, she picked up a pen and wrote her doubts on the letter paper.

After waiting for a while, there was still no reply from Rin.

The silly elk twisted her bottom, feeling more and more wronged.

She suddenly started crying, not sure what made her tear up.

She got up, trying to hold back her sobs, opened the door, and ran out with her head down.

They were invited to stay in the mansion by the local count, in the room to the left of the silly elk, which happened to be occupied by the two sisters Lin Yue and Lin Xin.

The two sisters were fraternal twins, looking slightly alike but having a strong bond, always wanting to sleep together since they were young.

The two women came back late and saw Elise coming out of the door, ready to unlock it with her keys. They quickly greeted her.

"Eli…"

Elise, feeling upset, didn’t notice the two women at all. She grabbed the jewel on her collar, bowed her head, and ran off.

"Hmm, Elise seems off, doesn’t she?" Lin Xin asked.

Lin Yue opened the door, grinning, "She must be thrilled from talking to her fiancé. Let’s not bother her."

When the two sisters entered the room, Elise also came to knock on her sister’s door.

When Eve opened the door, the silly elk quickly sneaked in. When the door closed, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Luckily, she still cared about the princess’s reputation and didn’t reveal her crying nature in the hallway, or she would have been laughed at by the guard.

Eve’s room also served as a temporary office with sound-blocking magic.

"Sister, sob sob sob!"

"？"

Eve was now puzzled.

She couldn’t believe that just when she was about to relax and unwind, her sister knocked on the door, forcing her to stop abruptly.

Elise’s big teardrops kept falling, perfectly covering Eve’s… tears.

Elise knew she was crying, but she didn’t notice that her sister’s leg was twisted.

"Why is my little sister crying again? Didn’t she say she wanted to communicate with her brother-in-law? She should be happy, right?"

Seeing Elise’s tearful appearance, Eve felt sorry and also felt her heart skip a beat several times.

This should have been a moment of great joy, not like this.

Could it be…Little Rin, did something happen to him?

No, no, don’t be superstitious, what am I thinking!

If it were true, my little sister would probably be crying and causing a scene, wanting to go find Rin directly.

It shouldn’t be too dangerous, otherwise my little sister wouldn’t be behaving like this.

There’s only one possibility left.

Eve held her tightly, patting her back gently and asked, "Did hero bully you again?"

"Yeah, she’s so mean! Bad cat!"

Silly elk felt wronged and angry, she buried her head in her sister’s arms, sobbing softly.

"It was supposed to be me and Little Rin’s time, but she was there too. Not only was she doodling and scribbling nonsense, she was also writing things I couldn’t understand. Sob, sister, they were in the same room at that moment!"

Eve gasped, feeling uneasy in her heart.

"So, what did she write?"

Silly elk wiped her tears, hiccuped and said, "Just that Little Rin is very tasty, why would she say that!"

Eve’s vision went blurry, her heart felt heavy and uncomfortable.

She was…she was taken advantage of first!

Oh no, my brother-in-law should have let me, his older sister-in-law, check the goods first!

That darn hero!

We should make a law, can we catch her for what she did now before it’s too late?

I’m not willing to accept it, I’m really not willing!

Feeling upset, the journey in her heart was like walking through a muddy path, Grand Princess couldn’t snap out of it for a while.

"Sister, what does this mean exactly!"

Feeling confused, Eve lost her usual calmness and even forgot to comfort her sister with a kind lie.

She grabbed Elise’s shoulder, "Silly sister! Haven’t you reached the fourth stage of learning yet? Don’t you know what ‘delicious’ means?! Did you read the last chapter of the magic device section?"

There was a hint of disappointment in her voice.

It’s not just because my sister is always hesitant and lazy in her studies, which caused her to miss out on a great opportunity to use the Rin machine, losing all advantages.

It’s also my fault for not being careful and not trying to stop Emilia right from the start.

Little did Elise know, when she heard this, her ahoge hair went wild, shaking her head vigorously.

"It can’t be, it can’t be! Definitely not the final step! At most, it’s just the previous part of the spoken language exercises, the latter part is absolutely impossible!"

Wiping away her tears, blinking her damp eyelashes, Elise pouted.

"It’s just impossible! Neither Emilia nor Little Rin could understand those things!"

"So dumb, the previous part, that doesn’t make sense either!"

The silly elk bit her lip, wriggled out of her sister’s embrace, and mumbled, "Anyway, anyway, as long as… I’ll go back and wait for news."

Eve also came back to her senses, sighing, "What are we waiting for, what if they went to practice spoken English?"

"Sister is so annoying, always saying these things!"

Elise puffed out her cheeks and said fiercely, "When I see Little Rin and Emilia, I will definitely teach them a lesson!"

After speaking, her confidence suddenly weakened. She lowered her head, touched her fingers together, and her voice became as small as a mosquito’s.

"Plus, even if I go to study languages… when Little Rin comes back and doesn’t reply, I’ll definitely worry. It’s just how things are."

After saying that, she held back tears and ran away quickly.

Eve reached out her arm, stared blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly covered her forehead.

"Such a weak and silly little sister."

…

Back in the room, the playful elk hurried to the table and saw that there were several new paragraphs on the opened sheet of paper.

She sat on the chair, let out a sigh of relief, and her eyes calmed down immediately.

"Sorry, it took me two minutes, but I finally managed to chase away that naughty cat. I wanted to write you a letter, but Waste Hero wouldn’t leave."

"She was talking about something delicious, probably referring to the big prawns for dinner. She insisted on me peeling them by hand before eating, it was so annoying. You know how she talks in a confusing way, that’s probably what she meant."

So, it turns out it wasn’t what my sister said, phew!

I knew it, Little Rin is the best!

Hehe!

Elise, who was just about to burst into laughter, read the words behind and puffed up her cheeks before picking up her pen to write quickly.

"o(╥﹏╥)o Obviously, Little Rin is mine. If anyone is going to feed him, it should be me! Why feed Stupid Emilia instead! Well, I’ll have some too!"

Rin, "Stop talking! Why should I feed you guys! Neither Waste Hero nor silly elk gets any!"

Silly elk said, "I can’t wait! Hey, Little Rin, when we meet, I want to eat shrimp too! You must feed me! Will you do that, Little Rin?"

Rin replied, "Got it, chatty Lori. We have limited paper, so use it wisely. Tell me important things first, like how things are going over there."

Silly elk replied, "That is important! By the way, I met the teacher early here, and also two nice girls. The teacher praised me for improving quickly. I’m planning to help heal those affected by voodoo, and when I see Little Rin again, I’ll become very powerful!"

Rin remarked, "Then I must see how powerful the silly elk becomes. Oh, this paper is full now, let’s leave it at this. We’ll continue communicating every three days."

Silly elk looked at the two full sheets of paper, both hers and Little Rin’s.

"Oh no, why make the space so small? I should have written smaller."

Elise propped her chin up, pen resting on her pursed lips, her ahoge hair swaying with her good mood.

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, her ahoge hair, which was gently swaying before, began shaking vigorously, a hint of pink appearing on the princess’s face.

"Little Rin, I miss you so much, do you miss me too?"

Waiting anxiously, one minute after another passed by. From the first minute to the sixth minute, Elise’s full of anticipation finally got a response.

"What are you thinking… It’s only been a few days." This sentence was crossed out with a few lines, making it blurry to read.

"I kind of miss it, after all, it’s strange not hearing the silly elk chattering in my ear."

"Don’t get too proud, it’s only like three or four hours on average, not that much!"

"Of course, I really hope to see you soon." This sentence was also scribbled over randomly.

Looking at the last paragraph filled with tiny words squeezed together like ants and smudges, Elise didn’t find it glaring at all. Instead, she smiled sweetly, with pink bubbles popping in her head.

She could imagine Little Rin blushing nervously, scratching his head while trying to figure out what to write.

Writing a sentence she wasn’t satisfied with, hastily crossing it out, back and forth twice, complaining about the short letter paper in her mouth…

Elise couldn’t help but pull out another piece of paper, "Little Rin is so adorable!"

The reply arrived quickly on the desk, also on a new piece of paper.

"Silly ghost! Stop talking nonsense, don’t waste paper!"

"But I just can’t help it, I really miss Little Rin, he must take care of himself over there, and not let Stupid Emilia take advantage of him again."

"Nonsense, how could I be taken advantage of, just a silly cat, you too, silly deer, don’t go out without me watching over you, you might act foolish and trip."

"And also…"

Listening to Rin chatter on, Elise responded tirelessly, her smiling face looking very cute.

Until both pieces of paper were filled, realizing they didn’t have enough time for more, the two bid each other farewell at last.

Rin, "Let’s stop here for tonight, it’s getting late, if I don’t open the door soon, Waste Hero might fall asleep in the hallway, so goodnight silly elk."

Reading the final farewell sentence, Elise nodded unconsciously and mumbled goodnight to herself.

But in just a few seconds, the smile froze on his face, and his pink ahoge hair quickly curled into a question mark.

What does that mean?

Li…Little Rin, he actually… actually lives in the same room as Emilia, maybe they even sleep together?!

At that moment, the confused rabbit immediately understood the meaning behind the words.

She quickly picked up a pen and wrote a few questioning sentences at the bottom of the letter, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no response from the other side.

"Oh no!"

The princess, who had just experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, burst into tears again, feeling aggrieved, and knocked on her sister’s door before rushing in.

"Sister! Sob sob sob! Even though they didn’t go for speaking practice, Little Rin said he also misses me a lot, but… but they are living together! Sob sob, in the same room!"

"Eh? No speaking practice?"

"But a room… oh no, so sad anyway."

Holding onto her sister and crying, Elise rubbed her eyes, "I will definitely have trouble sleeping tonight! Sister, can you use sleep magic to help me sleep well and dream of Little Rin? You are a spirit mage, you can do it, right?"

Eve hesitated, looking at her own bed, "…they say thoughts by day, dreams by night, a little guidance is fine, but… let’s go to your room first."

"Right here! Thinking of Little Rin and Emilia sharing a room makes me so sad!"

Speaking, Elise plopped onto Eve’s bed, flashing a tearful, forced smile at her sister.

"You must help me dream of Little Rin, sister."

"…"

"Why aren’t you speaking, sister… hmm? Did you just wash the sheets? No, the smell of roses is so strong."

…

Rin realized he had said the wrong thing, and even saw Elise’s response, making his eyes twitch nervously.

Phew, silly elk isn’t near him.

Otherwise she would definitely try to hug him tightly, sobbing for a kiss, being excessively clingy.

Who is this Holy Maiden and little angel? Just a delicate crybaby.

Suddenly felt a bit guilty towards his fiancee.

So troublesome… He didn’t want to think about complicated things.

Quickly putting his worries aside, Rin stood up, stretched, and opened the door.

At the door, Waste Hero was sitting there looking a bit dazed, half asleep against the wall.

Rin quickly pinched her cheek to wake her up, then brought the lost Waste Hero back home.

Waste Hero jumped onto the bed, snuggled into his arms, hugged him tightly, made soothing little noises, and soon drifted off to sleep.

Rin took a deep breath, turned off the magic lamp, widened his eyes, and stared at the ceiling.

After his conversation with Elise, he couldn’t sleep for a long time, feeling both homesick and uneasy due to complicated feelings.

Even at midnight, Rin was still restless and unable to sleep, feeling a strong urge to go outside and clear his mind.

Let’s go for a walk then, lying down and not sleeping is not helping.

With that in mind, Rin replaced his arm with a pillow, didn’t change clothes, threw on a large magician’s cloak to cover himself, and quietly left the room.
