Chapter 261: I, Freya, Can Still Be an ACE on the Edge of OB.

In the early morning, the dew fell from the leaves and dripped onto Rin’s eyes.

He suddenly opened his eyes, froze for a moment, and finally woke up.

His eyes felt a bit swollen and his head hurt a little; it must be because he didn’t get enough sleep.

Goodness, he had fallen asleep without realizing it during the second half of the night, and right up in this tree.

Now that he thinks about it, it still gives him a little fright, but fortunately, he sleeps very soundly and doesn’t roll around.

As for that waste hero, she probably fell down many times when she was young; it’s just that Hero is quite tough.

Rin patted Emilia’s shoulder and called her a few times, but she was still fast asleep.

After pinching her cheeks and giving them a little rub, the waste hero slowly woke up. When her blurry eyes opened, the first thing she did was grab Rin’s shoulder and give him a kiss.

"Phooey phooey."

After a moment, Rin pushed her away and disgustedly spat a few times, "I haven’t brushed my teeth yet, why are you kissing me? It’s gross."

"Good morning, Tsundere, I’m happy, meow~"

The waste hero acted as if she hadn’t heard and simply sat on him, kissing him several times before finally stopping.

After she got up, Rin looked at his wrinkled clothes and his face covered in drool, and he rubbed his head in frustration.

"From now on, when we camp outside, you can’t do this in the morning! How can I face people looking like this, silly cat!"

Emilia turned her head and tilted it, looking at Rin from head to toe, especially at the collar she had just pulled open, her gaze lingering there the longest.

"What are you staring at! Hurry up and get down!"

The waste hero, yelled at by Rin, quickly slid down along the hook and chain.

Rin quickly changed into a shirt and pants, picked up the blanket they had used last night, and stuffed it back into the space before following her down to the ground.

"Waste hero, is there a pond or a small river nearby? I need to wash up."

"This way."

The two walked in the forest, one in front of the other, and finally stopped by a pond with a waterfall.

The waterfall came from underground water bursting out halfway up the mountain; it wasn’t very big, but the falling water formed a small river that flowed straight to the sea.

Rin leaned next to the pond and immediately spotted his own reflection, his hair sticking up high in two spikes. He quickly splashed water to fix his hair.

After that, he took out his toiletries and first pulled over the cat, helping her brush her teeth before starting on his own.

After washing up, he looked radiant.

Emilia sat on a rock beside the pond, took off her boots and socks, and dipped her feet in. A faint blush appeared on her fair face.

Seeing this, Rin felt a stir in his heart and quickly took off his own shoes and socks before rushing his feet into the water.

Wearing shoes all night makes your feet uncomfortable.

In the morning, the water in the pond is cool and refreshing, and I didn’t notice someone coming closer.

But you can’t stay in it too long; even a little while feels a bit cold.

Truly, soaking my feet in hot water is much more comfortable.

Rin sighed, just about to pull his feet back, when he heard an urgent voice nearby.

"You two little bunnies! What are you doing? Don’t you have any sense of public duty?"

A woman in a qipao was at the lower stream of the river, not too far from them, spitting repeatedly while pointing and walking toward them.

A witch who had drunk all night stumbled out looking for water.

When she got to the riverbank, she didn’t notice anyone nearby and drank a few sips of clean, natural mineral water, feeling its sweet taste refresh her. Then she turned and saw two pairs of feet splashing in the water.

The two people were even less than thirty meters away from her, and it was really annoying.

Rin was drying his little feet and giggling, feeling extremely happy at that moment.

"My feet are clean, so don’t worry and enjoy your drink."

"You little rascal!"

Without saying a word, Angela gave him a smack on the back of his head.

Rin grinned and rubbed the back of his head, and seeing that the waste hero was still splashing her feet in the water, he wasted no time and quickly grabbed a towel to wipe them.

Angela felt a shiver down her spine and couldn’t help but complain, "Are you dating or taking care of a daughter?"

Rin rolled his eyes dramatically, "Why can’t it be like having a pet?"

"Meow~"

The witch was speechless and yawned, complaining, "I’m really unlucky. I got dragged into drinking with old friends all night, and now I have to drink your foot water in the morning."

By the time she finished her complaining, Rin and the waste hero had already put on their shoes.

"Let’s go; if your parents wake up and don’t see us, they might think something happened to us. Also… Ms. Angela, do you want to come with us?"

"That sounds good. We can enjoy a breakfast together, and today we’ll have a full day of teaching. After tomorrow’s ceremony, we’ll need to leave for our training."

Rin paused and asked, "Ceremony?"

"Huh? It’s the ceremony for the Sea God. We’ll also welcome the Sea God’s messenger, which looks like that gross Land Fish. Didn’t your hero girlfriend tell you?"

"Wow!"

Isn’t that the source of the waste hero’s fear?

He quickly grabbed the waste hero’s wrist and asked, "Why didn’t you say that earlier? It’s okay if we miss these two days; we can still go back."

Emilia tilted her head and her eyes flickered a few times, "I forgot."

"You silly."

Rin rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, "How about we set off early? We can always come back and stay a couple more days."

"That won’t do."

Angela let out a cold laugh, "This time, your training is all about these fish. Without them, you won’t even reach the place."

"Oh, I see."

"It… doesn’t matter."

Rin looked at the waste hero with some worry in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, his expression changed into one of arrogant disdain.

"It’s just a few little fish. With me around, how could they possibly cause trouble? You useless hero, just stay behind me and behave."

Emilia stared at him for a moment and nodded, "Okay… meow."

Angela felt like she understood this hero less and less, thinking she didn’t seem like a real human at all.

Speaking of which, she had met her a few times before, and two years ago, she wasn’t like this at all, right?

Forget it, even if she really turns into a cat, it’s not my problem if she can’t beat the Demon King.

The three people chatted as they returned to the village.

Because of the upcoming festival, the fishermen wouldn’t go out to catch fish for the next two days. Instead, they would gather Tree Sunflowers, which Land Fish love to eat, from nearby islands.

Since most people had gone to collect Tree Sunflowers, the village felt especially quiet, and whenever someone who couldn’t gather came to bother the hero, Rin sent them away.

The polite young man from last night was now merciless in refusing people.

He believed that if he stayed for even two more days, his "bad boy" side would completely reveal itself in front of his in-laws.

Just as they arrived at the door of the waste hero’s house, Sarah’s young voice came from inside.

"My sister would never leave without telling Sarah!"

Mei asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly call her sister?"

"It’s because she told me last night how to call her. Anyway, she’s definitely not gone; she was out playing with brother-in-law last night."

Mei looked a bit lost, "Out to play together at night?"

Dhalsim let out a low, angry grunt, "It’s all that guy’s fault, he’s led Emilia astray. What are boys and girls doing going out to play at night?!"

"They both have children now; it’s not a big deal. My dear, why are you so angry?"

"Sister and brother-in-law are back!"

Sarah was the first to see Emilia standing outside through the window. She cheered and burst out the door.

"Sister!"

Just as she let out a joyful sound, little Sarah stopped in her tracks when she saw a strange aunt standing behind her sister, someone she had met the night before.

She turned shy again, looking longingly at Rin and Emilia.

Dhalsim and Mei also stepped out, and when they saw Emilia, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Rin introduced Angela to the family, and after everyone had exchanged greetings, Mei hurried off to prepare breakfast.

Dhalsim looked at his daughter for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "When do you plan to leave?"

Rin replied, "We will leave after tomorrow’s festival."

"You are going to the festival?"

A surprised expression appeared on Dhalsim’s stern face as he looked at waste hero, "Miss Emilia, aren’t you…?"

"It’s okay."

After the waste hero replied concisely, she entered the room first.

"Excuse me."

Rin and Angela followed closely, leaving only the surprised father behind.

After standing for a while, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

In any case, compared to the past two years when the hero would occasionally come back, complete the village’s tasks, and then leave immediately, this time he would at least stay for two more days.

Back in the house, Dhalsim found a place to sit and used a small knife to carve toys for his little daughter, Sarah.

Soon, Rin and the others started having breakfast, and Dhalsim occasionally glanced over.

Rin and Emilia were behaving affectionately, feeding each other from time to time, as if he were taking care of a daughter, and Emilia seemed very comfortable with it.

After feeling relieved, Dhalsim was filled with a mix of sadness and regret from his old father. He fidgeted for a while and said softly, "I will go pick Tree Sunflowers too, dear. I’ll leave the house in your hands."

Mei, who was quietly enjoying this warm scene, unexpectedly looked at her husband and nodded, sending him to the door.

After having breakfast, the three of them started chatting, but mainly it was Rin and Angela talking while the waste hero listened quietly.

"Tsk, I thought you would be lost and awkward when you met my father-in-law, but I didn’t expect you to be so familiar. You are even showing off your love at the dining table."

Rin noticed the sourness in Angela’s words and sneered dismissively, "Teacher Angela, may I ask how old you are this year? Are you married? How do you behave when you meet your in-laws?"

The sudden three questions made Angela’s insincere smile freeze on her face.

"Is the little brat asking for trouble? Did your parents not tell you that you shouldn’t ask a woman her age, or you might end up in big trouble?"

Rin said with an expressionless face, "Oh? Is it really that scary? I am so scared."

"With that cheeky and annoying attitude of yours, someday someone will chop off your arms and cut out your tongue and put you in a jar."

Rin suddenly laughed, "Then I want to see who can beat my silly hero, and that fox that made me find Leviathan and put me in a jar. Could it be you?"

Angela felt a twinge of annoyance at the mocking stance, especially since the hero was seriously shaking his fist.

"Who dares to hurt me, the tsundere? They must step over my body first!"

The ageless witch couldn’t help but feel a surge of annoyance inside.

It’s hard to say who can defeat the future hero and the Demon King, but would these two coming together not cause a world war?

How can you sit here without a care, confidently mentioning the Demon King and the hero? You fool.

"Alright, let me ask one more thing. Emilia, have you met Rin’s parents? Have they decided when to get married?"

"Uh-huh."

Waste hero was silent for a moment, then suddenly a thought clicked in her mind. She grabbed Rin’s arm, and her eyes shone brightly.

This question really stumped Rin.

His parents are in another world…

Do we have to wait for the story to end, and then find a way to bring them back to Earth to meet?

So, who should I bring back first? If I bring them both, will Mom scold me?

…

Just when Rin began to feel a headache about how to bring his girlfriend home to meet his parents, he had no idea that an unexpected outsider would take the lead.

This lightweight female supporting character is Evil God’s good friend and Rin’s wonderful Guardian, the goddess Freya.

"Brother, brother, my brother! Boo hoo, my good sister! Help me!"

The loud cry startled Freya awake from her dream. She ran her fingers through her beautifully messy golden hair and stretched lazily.

In the past two days, besides working, she also had to enter the Dream World at night to train the cursed doll she had locked inside.

So she felt a bit tired and accidentally fell asleep until noon.

Thinking about the pile of work that needed overtime, Freya felt a headache.

Alexander couldn’t help but dream of Lin Wuyue’s sad cries.

She wondered how she was doing over there, and she decided she must enter Little Rin’s dream tonight to ask about it.

With this thought in mind, Freya got up and made herself a simple cheese roll, taking it to the table, and instinctively picked up her phone to check the latest news.

But after turning it on, the ten missed calls from her mother on the screen startled her so much that she almost dropped the phone.

Not only were there missed calls, but there were also a few messages telling her that she had to call back after finishing, as there was something very important.

"I hope there’s nothing serious like a blind date."

Just as Freya had this thought, she shook her head, "No, last time she already knew I had someone I liked; otherwise, it wouldn’t have unexpectedly reached the ears of Lin Ergou’s mother."

"It can’t be… it’s about the last unexpected thing, right?"

Her heart tightened. After thinking for a moment, she decided to call back, and the other side quickly answered.

"Hello, daughter, why did it take you so long to return my call? It’s already noon."

Freya forced herself to stay calm. "I had my phone off because I was busy working, Mom. Is there something you need?"

"Oh, great news! The one you said had potential, he’s the son of my old classmate. She called me last night and said she would be back in a week. She wants us to get together so she can know her future daughter-in-law better."

"！"

Freya’s heart raced so fast it almost burst, and she quickly grabbed her phone with both hands. "Did she really say that, Auntie?"

"Of course! Anyway, you need to quickly finish what you’re doing in the next few days."

"Okay, Mom, I love you, Mom. I will make sure to do this perfectly and beautifully, so I won’t bring you any shame!"

Freya never expected that someone like her, who lived on the edge of the story, would someday be struck by a piece of luck from the sky.
