Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Greg's eyes sparkled. "How about it? Do you want me to team up with you temporarily for this battle? I think this is a good opportunity to test the results of the special training."

Although she appreciated the invitation, Ceci was hesitant. She wondered if it was really okay.

Noticing this, Jill smiled and patted Cece's shoulder: "By the way, this guy is totally fine."

"I'm flattered to hear you say that... but I'm not that old yet!"

"Ah, sorry, sorry. I know you're only 20 years old. But compared to this... Could it be that you expected this from the beginning, so you came to us..."

In response to Jill's question, Greg said:

“…Who knows?”

He shrugged exaggeratedly, obviously trying to be perfunctory.

When Xu Zhen opened the door, the monsters were surrounding a mountain of fruits, chewing them enthusiastically.

"Ah, Master. Good morning."

Although it was already late at night, Xu Zhen didn't feel anything strange about this sentence because he was sleeping soundly.

"Good morning. You look good."

“Yeah, it’s perfect as long as you’re full!”

“You have eaten well.”

Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and looked around at the monsters again. Fuleo also recovered his strength and worked hard to eat the fruit with Lati. The same was true for Slakiqi and Lopur, but Lim looked a little quiet and didn't seem to eat much.

"Lim. Are you still tired?"

“Cuckoo—”

Xu Zhen asked, and Lim rested her chin on the floor. It seemed that she needed to rest for a while, Xu Zhen thought.

"Master, what are you going to do? We can set off at any time..." Lati asked after wiping his mouth after finishing his meal.

"Hmm... maybe it's best to wait until tomorrow morning..."

Xu Zhen felt that it was not appropriate to leave Lim here and go out by himself, so he thought it would be better to stay here overnight. However, at this moment——

“Master, I want to fight quickly. I also want to help the master!”

At some point, Foreo had come to Xu Zhen and held him tightly.

Apparently, this behavior surprised the monsters, and Slakic and Lopur also showed confused expressions. Lati also smiled bitterly and stroked Foreo's head.

"It's not good to be willful... Although I want to say this..."

“Do you feel the same way?”

"Yes!"

"Whoosh!"

"Woo!"

Xu Zhen's question received a series of bright answers from Lati, Slakic and Lopul. Faced with this reaction, Xu Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"...If Courtney is here, I can hand Lim over to her. But handing Lim over to Dorothy is a little tricky..."

"Are you going to wait until morning?"

Regarding the somewhat frustrated Lati, Xu Zhen stroked Lim's back and said, "Maybe... huh?"

Suddenly, he heard a noisy sound outside, so he opened the window and looked out. He saw the adventurers on standby rushing out with happy expressions on their faces.

“The soup is ready!”

"Okay! Let's go!"

Indeed, the aroma wafting in the wind was tempting. Remembering that he hadn't eaten since noon, Xu Zhen suddenly felt hungry.

Xu Zhen gently closed the window and turned around.

"I'm hungry, shall we have some soup?"

With his stomach growling, Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and picked up the exhausted Lim. Then they all left the room together, told Dorothy, and left the manor.

------------

Alicia and the other three returned to the village, and were welcomed by the adventurers and villagers, and headed towards Sergio's manor. As they passed by the adventurers who were about to set off, Oliver muttered in remorse in his heart.

"Cesi should be fighting the monsters with Greg now... If I had a little more strength, this situation wouldn't have happened..."

As a result, Cece accepted Greg's invitation and separated from Alicia and the others. On the way back to the village, bright flames and explosions were heard from behind. Courtney immediately thought that they were conducting a fire coordinated attack.

At this moment, Oliver's remorse appeared on his face again. His teeth were still clenched tightly, and Alicia could only smile bitterly to comfort him.

"Calm down a bit now."

"You're right. Oliver, you better calm down a bit."

“Gu…”

Oliver seemed to have nothing to say, so he remained silent. At this time, Courtney, who was walking behind, sensed an alluring aroma coming from somewhere. Looking around, he found a group of adventurers gathered around a steaming cauldron.

“Hey, it looks like they’re cooking over there?” Courtney’s shout stopped the three of them.

"Come to think of it, I'm hungry."

"Then let's go eat. Eating will calm us down."

"Okay, I agree!"

So, Alicia and the others decided to stay for a while. When they arrived at the square and were about to line up to receive food,

"ah……!"

Alicia and her friends met Xu Zhen and his friends unexpectedly.

Because it was so sudden, they were both speechless. After making sure they got their soup, they decided to talk later.

So everyone got their soup and sat down away from the crowd. After they had calmed down, Alicia spoke: "Long time no see, Xu Zhen. I'm so glad you're safe."

"I heard you challenged Russell. I'm glad you're safe."

"Ah. Thanks to Jacklen for saving me."

Hearing this name, Alicia and the other three were a little confused. And Courtney showed a sign of remembering something: "Jacklon... is he... the one who left the medicine for us in the Kingdom of Shuter?"

"Yeah. That's right."

As they nodded, Xu Zhen felt that this happened a long time ago. At the same time, he also realized something.

"…Speaking of which, when was the last time Courtney saw Jacklen?"

"That was probably it. I have no other recollection of it."

Hearing this, Xu Zhen recalled again. Meeting near the capital of Santono and in the Panna Forest. Indeed, Courtney and Alicia were not there in either case.

A question suddenly popped up in Xu Zhen's mind, so he asked Alicia: "Alicia, have you told me about Jacklun?"

"Yeah. Although I haven't met him." Alicia's answer made Xu Zhen feel relieved. At least he didn't forget to tell the story.

At this time, Jill showed an excited expression and came closer to Xu Zhen: "Then what? Ah Zhen, are you with that Jack Lun?"
