As the group departed, a figure completely covered in a cloak stood quietly on the rooftop of the building opposite Ganesha, silently watching the three disappear into the distance.
Only after the figure disappeared at the end of the street did the person slowly turn around and jump off the roof.
"[Swift Wind], you really are here."
Shakti, at some point, leaned against a street corner, arms crossed, expressionless.
"Hmm." Liu paused, slowly gripping the wooden sword at her waist.
"What, you want to fight me?" Shakti said irritably.
Ryu removed her hood, revealing short, emerald-green hair and deep, star-like eyes. However, the starry sky seemed shrouded in haze, as if reproaching her:
“If you don’t release them, I’ll storm in. I will bear the consequences of my own sins; they shouldn’t be blamed on those children.”
Shakti clapped his hands and raised an eyebrow, saying, "He really is a 'responsible' senior."
"If only they could behave themselves a little. This time they've caused quite a mess!"
You have no idea what that child represents… Ryu remained unmoved and said calmly:
"What do you think?"
"Hmm?" Shakti raised the corners of his mouth: "You really are protective of your own. That makes things easier. Listen carefully, if you do anything out of line again, I'll hold those kids accountable."
"You don't want them to be wanted by the police, do you?"
Ryu's eyes widened: "How could you do this!"
That child cannot be tainted! He is the one who inherits Alexie's will and can raise the banner of justice once more...
Ryu added in her mind.
In her heart, she always believed that Alyssa was the only person besides Astraea who could uphold absolute justice. Little did she know that, in the eyes of others, Ryu was the one who would carry on the legacy of justice.
Shakti noticed that Ryu was hesitant and his words were loaded with meaning:
"If you don't want to, how about letting me rest for a couple more days? Wouldn't it be better to quietly be a competent 'senior'? Or, you can continue washing dishes."
"If Adi saw you like this, he probably wouldn't be happy."
"Well."
Oh no, they've caught us red-handed...
Ryu's eyelashes fluttered, her eyes lowered, and she slowly turned around.
I can't be bothered arguing with this woman...
Shakti shouted, "Remember this: although the guild doesn't intend to hold you responsible, if you cause any more trouble that I can't handle, I'll go after the person in charge!"
"Got it," Liu muttered, quickening his pace and swiftly retreating.
……
Oralley, Southwest Street, Trading Area.
Orario was huge, much larger than Shaka had imagined, with a diameter of at least ten kilometers, and it was cut into eight pieces like a cake. It took more than fifty minutes just to walk from the Ganesha clan's residence to the southwest street where the "school district" was located.
This is still because adventurers are faster.
The trading area of the Southwest Street is where the largest number of migrant workers gather. It is worth mentioning that the Apollo Family, the original home of Belial and his friends—the Hearth House—is located on this street.
The three followed Leon to the reception hotel for the "school district".
This is where the students participating in the "Special Dungeon Internship" in the school district stay; the entire hotel has been booked.
Tu Shou went back to her room to log off; she had to go to school. This girl almost staged an escape attempt from prison.
Leon instructed, "Come to the school district tomorrow to test the new equipment."
Then, she gracefully walked upstairs.
Kageno Minoru stayed with Natsuka as they prepared to check in...
"I'm sorry, we're full. If it's not too much trouble, please discuss with your classmates and consider staying together," the receptionist said apologetically.
Shaka looked at Kageno Minoru.
After Dekomori left, he reverted to his cold demeanor: "Sorry, I usually go to the dungeon at night..."
and so……
You didn't check in at all?
Minoru Kageno then added two words: "Save money."
Yes, that's very much like the shadows.
Shaga only now realized that, because they were to simulate adventurers, the students had to earn their own accommodation fees in the dungeon!
"alright."
Xia Jia stood there helplessly, hands on his hips. He had no one else to ask. The room was empty, so he couldn't just stay there. The other rooms were all occupied by girls, and even if they weren't online, it wouldn't be right to just stay in someone else's room...
Xia Jia's eyes darted around, and she hooked her arm around Lord Shadow's shoulder and whispered, "How about I take you to a nice place?"
"Don't go."
"I guarantee it's a brand new version you've never experienced before!"
Kageno Minoru's eyes lit up. Could it be the latest training equipment, or a luxury store exuding an aristocratic atmosphere?
The two left the hotel and jogged away.
It took a full thirty minutes to wander from Southwest Street to Southeast Street.
This street also has a special name – Happy Street.
The two stood before the bustling red-light district, amidst the throngs of people. They watched as countless adventurers arrived with high spirits and straight backs, only to leave sighing and clutching their aches, their eyes also gleaming with a strange anticipation.
Shaga put his hand on Shadow's shoulder and said:
"As the saying goes, the three most important bonds in life are: fighting together, studying together, and going to brothels together... no, I mean, sharing the spoils."
“Even though we were never really classmates, a prison cell is still a cell…”
"Now all that's missing is... well, I mean, we're just about to split the loot."
Xia Jia pulled out his small gold pouch, his face full of curiosity, and said, "How about it? I'll show you something new today..."
You're clearly younger than me! Shadow glanced sideways, inwardly thinking...
"What, don't look at me like that. We're respectable people, just going to take a look. I heard you can listen to music here! There's even a place similar to a brothel. Aren't you interested?"
Shadow hesitated. Although exercising was tempting, he was, after all, still in his adolescence...
Besides...
Brothels, entertainment venues...
Who wouldn't be curious?
Most importantly, Orario's potato ball business hasn't yet expanded into the Pleasure Street!
Shadow quickly switched to the character card of a random friend, his face flushed and panting: "Is this...is this content that can be broadcast?"
"Give it a try!" Xia Jia said, full of confidence.
I've only just arrived in Orario and am still a nobody. If I wait until I become famous and then enter the Pleasure District, I'll probably be chased all over the world like Bell.
So, if you miss this opportunity now, you'll never have another chance!
Xia Jia grinned excitedly and snapped his fingers: "Let's go! Nothing to do today, let's go to the brothel for some music, and maybe I'll accidentally get drunk and spend the night here!"
He walked with his hands behind his back towards the street, which was adorned with warm red light.
With a whoosh—
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Xia Jia. The person's face was covered by a mask, so his appearance was not clear. He had short, bright green hair and a pair of pointed ears sticking out from the tips of his hair. He was an elf.
At this moment, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes.
The wooden sword traced a path through the air before striking Shaka precisely on the back of the neck.
"Ugh—" Xia Jia's vision went black, and she fainted instantly.
Kageno Minoru's pupils contracted. So fast, even faster than the level 5 opponent he had faced before...
He was about to run away when he met Ryu's murderous eyes: "Don't move."
I'm just a passerby...
Minoru Kageno raises her hands: "Well, I surrender..."
The customers in the surrounding pleasure district were also startled. Seeing that it was just a matter of causing trouble for a few individuals, they didn't meddle. In the pleasure district, if something happened, they would go to the Ishtar Familia. Outside the pleasure district, it was under Ganesha's jurisdiction.
Anyway, it won't be their turn to be adventurers.
Liu sheathed her wooden sword, hoisted Xia Jia onto her back, glanced at the shadows with her beautiful eyes, and then said calmly, "Come with me."
Minoru Kageno obediently followed orders.
I thought to myself: Could this be the game's underage protection mechanism? ... No, this is clearly not a game... But what is this woman doing here?
It's just listening to music and staying overnight, why did they have to cripple someone like this?
Shadow's expression grew increasingly strange: "Could it be Old Xia's lover here? Hiss—"
