Chapter 254: Stop Crying, Let’s Team Up!

Their intimate gestures, and… it seems like Rin is taking the lead.

Is this an illusion?

Elise rubbed her eyes and saw only a flustered Little Rin and a calm Waste Hero.

So clear, so real.

Waste Hero hasn’t even put down her hind legs, causing the blanket to lift up slightly, revealing the platform and instruments for the experiment.

The sour feeling all over is like nothing I’ve ever felt before.

It felt like cutting dozens of onions, being pricked by needles in the heart, and even having my ahoge hair pulled out alive.

Tears kept falling uncontrollably.

"Wh-"

"It’s a silly elk!"

At this moment, Rin’s instinctive panic and confusion subsided as the joy of reunion took over.

He quickly jumped up, rushed to the silly elk, first tugged at her ahoge hair, pinched her face and nose, and finally opened his arms with delight.

"Let’s consider this a reunion hug… Huh?"

Soon, the awkwardness of the current situation took over once again. He hurriedly covered the magic device, turned his head, and stuttered for a while.

"Waaa, Little Rin!"

Elise suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugged Rin and sobbed, "Even though…Even though Little Rin likes me too, but…I’m still so sad, waaa waaa."

But how can we explain this now?

Should we say it was an accident or something?

Whatever we say doesn’t seem quite right!

"Um, well, it was, it was an experiment on creating life force with magic…"

"Waaa, I don’t want to listen!"

"Stop crying for now."

"Waaa! Waaa!"

Elise’s crying grew louder and louder, Rin couldn’t understand what was happening. He felt a headache and couldn’t calm her down after trying for a while, so he decided to hold her chin directly.

"You silly elk! You’re so noisy!"

After saying that, he covered her mouth.

He had been well-trained during this time, and his kissing skills had significantly improved. Soon, the princess felt dizzy and couldn’t remember what had happened temporarily, she even didn’t react to his ahoge hair.

Emilia had been confused all along. She didn’t understand why the silly elk was here. At first, her subconscious thought she was dreaming.

Now she felt something was wrong, seeing the two of them kissing for so long, she quickly jumped up and tried to pull Rin away.

The nice atmosphere was completely ruined in an instant.

Rin pushed her away firmly and said sternly, "What’s the silly cat making a fuss about?"

Seeing Rin scolding Waste Hero and feeling dizzy from the kiss, the silly elk snuggled into his arms, with tears in her eyes and a silly smile on her face.

Little Rin really cares about me the most!

"Tundere is mine, can’t share with silly elk!"

Feeling anxious, speaking faster and breaking the habit of speaking intermittently.

Elise remembered the previous scene, laughed foolishly, then became incredibly sad again.

"Little Rin is my fiancé, can’t… can’t, oh, can’t be so intimate with someone else."

Rin felt overwhelmed, "Crying one moment, laughing the next, are you a puppy?"

Miss Hero was not good at arguing, so she just held his face and kissed him.

Elise, feeling sad, directly grabbed Rin’s magic device, crying as she asked, "Little Rin, have you not had an official experiment test with her yet? It must be like this!"

"Let go first! Your hands are so cold!"

Rin shivered, grabbed her arm, gave it a little pull, and then stopped moving.

For no other reason than this precious magic device, although gifted with the elements of fire and life, was both intolerant to cold and very fragile.

The silly elk held on too tight!

"Silly elk, let go."

Miss Hero also got angry, her eyes turning towards cat-like pupils, trying hard to pry Elise’s hand open. The two began struggling against each other.

Yeah, just like fighting over an arcade joystick with a friend.

Rin’s face was turning green, yelling in frustration, "Let go, all of you! What’s all this commotion! Let go!"

Seizing the moment while the two claws were restraining each other, Rin took the opportunity to escape, rushing to the bedside to put on equipment. Surprisingly, the cat and elk stubbornly followed him.

And then, all three tumbled onto the bed.

Rin was lying on the bed feeling very uncomfortable, he had just managed to lie on his back only to have the magic device taken away again.

This time the thief was Waste Hero.

She had already turned into a cat, meowing angrily at the silly elk.

Of course, the other one wasn’t doing well either, and was a crybaby, sobbing while trying to take action.

"Don’t be stupid, Emilia! Let go of my fiancé! Bad cat! Only fiancés can do experiments together and have babies!"

"We are just engaged, tsundere, you are my future, husband…"

"No way!"

"I will definitely defeat the Demon King! With Rin!"

"It’s impossible, no one can take Little Rin away!"

"The silly elk cried and made a fuss, and was still chubby."

"Emilia is naughty and silly! She’s not fat enough, annoying, Little Rin definitely won’t like you!"

Rin’s eyes widened, overwhelmed by both of them, feeling on the verge of collapse.

But… the magic device that had already calmed down, suddenly produced fire element when operated by both of them at the same time.

Waste Hero’s blue hair-like ears trembled, looking at Rin suddenly while grabbing the deer’s claws and operating the magic device at the same time.

"Tundere, who do you think is better, me or the deer?"

Eliseahoge hair suddenly jumped, wiped away tears with the other hand, and said in a teary voice, "It’s definitely me!"

"Both of you, be quiet, let go of me!"

"I am better than Elise!"

"The naughty cat likes to scratch people, and it causes trouble, surely the experiment results will not be good!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Eliseahoge’s hair tousled for a moment, suddenly glowing, and she silently started to chant.

"Holy Light Shield!"

A holy and pure shield appeared, covering Waste Hero and Rin.

The Holy Light Shield cannot overlap with others and is tangible, so Waste Hero was immediately pushed out.

Waste Hero was a bit bewildered, feeling like she had seen this scene before.

"Little Rin, it’s mine!"

The playful elk blinked its moist eyes, selfishly taking possession of Rin’s magic device, and Waste Hero looked exasperated as she tried to break through the barrier.

However, Miss Hero lived up to her name, even in such a dire situation and without the guidance of a goddess, she could still come up with clever ideas and inspiration.

"Elise, protect yourself with the Holy Light Shield!"

It appeared, it appeared!

The hero’s leadership skill appeared again!

What was surprising was that even in the tense atmosphere, the world still considered Elise and Waste Hero as teammates.

As long as they were the hero’s teammates, under the influence of "leadership", they would obey commands in a short time.

So Elise instinctively put on a Holy Light Shield for herself, but was quickly pushed aside by the Holy Light Shield on Rin.

The princess, realizing what was happening, stood dumbfounded for a few seconds, then burst into tears, canceling the Holy Light Shield.

Waste Hero seized the opportunity and grabbed the magic device.

"Holy Light Shield!"

The princess reclaimed the magic device after a successful counterattack.

"Elise, use the Holy Light Shield!"

The two of them fought fiercely, constantly clashing in battle without stopping.

Rin’s face kept changing colors, watching the magic device that should have belonged to him being fought over by the princess and hero, while the fire element exploded on the spot.

"Stop it! Or I’ll really get angry!"

But at that moment, the two of them were too focused on each other to hear anything else, their eyes locked in a fierce stare, both exhausted and out of breath in the end.

Miss Hero was extremely angry for the first time, glaring at the silly elk with trembling body, unable to contain her innate talent anymore.

"Then, let’s settle this with a competition!" she gritted her teeth.

"Let’s do it!"

Elise bravely stood her ground, hands on hips, humming a tune.

Waste Hero took the lead, pushing away the silly elk’s hand and showed off her unique skill of feeding slime right away.

The two were arguing before, Rin couldn’t get a word in and no one paid him any attention. Now that he finally spoke up, his brain completely froze.

Because this time, the magic experiment was done… right in front of someone else.

This completely pierced through the thick skin he had worked so hard to build. Amidst a mix of complicated emotions, his mind was about to explode.

The silly elk stared wide-eyed at Waste Hero, burst into tears with a loud cry. The ahoge hair stood up as if electrified, unable to think further for now, only driven by a strong desire to win.

Absolutely, absolutely cannot lose to Emilia.

With only this thought in mind, the silly elk, full of courage, ripped open the seal on his test paper, rushing forward to push Waste Hero aside.

"Emilia, time’s up! Get out of the way! I want to show Little Rin the results of my recent studies beyond the curriculum!"

Watching her draw a shape like a "convex half moon" using advanced functions, her mouth kept repeating formulas. Rin’s CPU burnt up due to the hero slime crashing.

Along with that, there was an outbreak of "curses".

Although there were no signs of a heart attack, the uncontrollable aggression and hostility were definitely the result of the curse.

The subconscious that was still running told Rin this.

And added: If the curse is not lifted soon, you will die.

It’s hard to imagine that the foolish deer, one day could study ahead of the class, and solve problems smoothly on the first try.

"%&*…&*…" Rin muttered unclear words in frustration.

The proud elk glanced at Waste Hero, briefly stopping drawing function curves and silently reciting formulas.

"So, I’m the best! Little Rin will only like me more and more!"

"Stop talking!"

This time, the one who yelled angrily was not Waste Hero, but the enraged Rin who cursed, his eyes red. He grabbed the nearest deer and charged at it without hesitation.

Thanks to the practice from simulated exams in dreams, this time the movements were much smoother.

Waste Hero stared blankly at the scene. Her blue hair gradually lost its luster as it drooped down wearily.

Everything lost its color. She turned pale all over, her eyes became simple black and white lines like a drawing, resembling an injured cat licking its wounds in a corner, with all her fighting spirit vanished.

Why did Tundere choose the silly elk over her?

This was the only thought left in her empty mind now.

…

As autumn approached, the weather cooled down gradually, and the lush green leaves turned yellow and fell.

A melancholic tune belonging to solitude and solemnity slowly began playing under the bright moon in the autumn sky.

In the bushes, two grasshoppers were playfully chasing each other, creating a cheerful atmosphere.

Unbeknownst to them, there was another grasshopper hiding in the crack of a stone, staying still as if it were a lifeless body.

After a round of play, the grasshopper behind affectionately nudged the one in front, expressing its tiredness to its companion.

But the playful companion, in its joy, arrogantly made a few shrill noises and then launched another playful attack, continuing the frolic.

At last, the grasshopper who was playing wildly for the first time fell asleep with a silly expression on its face.

The remaining proud grasshopper, after showing off for a while, laid down in the bushes to rest.

The grasshopper hiding in the crack of the stone suddenly woke up and without a word, jumped out and flipped the proud grasshopper over, pinning it down.

"Since it’s not the first time, but as long as you take the exam multiple times, it can be done."

"Wait! Useless… Waste Hero?!"

The proud grasshopper could only manage to let out a single chirp at the end.

…

"Little Rin? Little Rin! You’ve finally woken up!"

With a soft and sticky voice in his ear, Rin groggily turned his head, gradually regaining consciousness.

At this moment, instead of waking up and sitting on the bed as usual, he lay on his back looking half-dead.

"So… so sleepy."

Mumbling softly, he furrowed his brow.

"Healing spell!"

Elise quickly cast some healing spells on him, which made Rin feel much better, even though he still felt a bit weak.

"Little Rin!"

The silly elk, seeing him regain consciousness, without saying a word, leaped into his arms and nuzzled him.

"It must be Stupid Emilia who bullied Little Rin, but it’s okay, Little Rin has me."

"Huh?"

Rin patted her head, then glanced at Waste Hero cowering nearby, finally putting things together in his mind.

Remembering what happened last night, his body stiffened.

He actually… actually took the silly elk to the exam room on his own!

Moreover, late at night, Waste Hero forcibly took him to the exam room again.

He didn’t know how many times he had retaken the exam, and he kept studying until it was morning before taking a break.

Looking at the sunlight outside the window, it seemed to be still morning.

He may have only rested for less than an hour, no wonder he slept so deeply.

That darn hero, why is he so physically fit!

No, that’s not the point!

The point is, he and two others all took the Life Magic exam!

Two people!

His brain, like an old rusty machine, slowly turned towards Elise.

"Silly elk… Elise, we…"

Elise hugged his neck, feeling both happy and sad, her eyes misty and a content smile on her lips.

"Little Rin, choosing me first means… Little Rin likes me the most!"

After saying that, Rin pecked Little Rin’s cheek, fluttered his eyelashes, and said, "It’s a pity, but it’s time to go back to my sister now."

Rin stood there in shock, feeling a sudden pang of sadness and reluctance.

Before he could figure out why, the rabbit was already leaving?
