Mission in another world with my transformed best friend
Chapter 77 The Flame (Part 2)
While the two were chatting, Ilya, with her intelligence from her past as an ordinary person and as the captain of "Laffey Girls," came over after completing her "experiment" ahead of schedule and said something.
"Reporting to the Holy Maiden, compared to the previous times, I reached what I consider to be 'qualified' a few minutes earlier this time..."
"Okay, you can rest first. After everyone is done, pack the grapes and transport them to the underground storage room. I'll go and tell the guards to be careful!"
After saying that, Zhang Lan got up and walked out. Seeing this, Ilya also plopped down on the sofa without any politeness, picked up the cup of black tea that was not yet finished, and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at this group of "slave girls," Wang Kai smiled with a touch of emotion, noting that Ilya truly didn't need any "mind modification" and was just an ordinary girl who didn't know any etiquette or manners and did whatever she wanted.
After finishing her black tea, Ilya turned her head and saw Wang Kai with a strange smile on his face. Her eyes darkened, and she immediately asked a question.
"Why are you staring at me so intently? Are you considering your previous 'commission'?"
"Sigh, harboring a heart full of revenge is indeed much better than having a mind full of 'servile thoughts,' at least you have a goal to live for... Ilya, I just want to ask, what do you want to do in the future?"
"To avenge my parents!"
"And then, what happens after you get your revenge?"
Ilya leaned back on the sofa, and like Zhang Lan, looked up at the ceiling. After a moment of thought, she said...
"I don't know. I've done a lot of petty theft over the years. I've gone from a naive kid to an avenger who will seek revenge whenever he gets the chance, and I'm willing to give up everything for it..."
"All of them? That's not worth it..."
"What's not worth it? You're willing to give everything for your goal, just like you, an adventurer, risking everything, including your life, to defeat monsters and get rewards, right?"
Wang Kai waved his hand, adopting a very serious lecturing attitude as someone who had been through it all.
"That's definitely not right. If I can't beat the monster, I can choose to run away. As long as I'm alive, I can always make a comeback. If I can't beat this powerful monster this time, I will choose to become stronger and challenge it again. I will never risk my life."
Ilya frowned and turned her gaze back to them.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
“What I mean is, Ilya, you’re still so young, about the same age as Martha. Why would you risk your life for revenge, seizing any opportunity to make it possible? You’ll grow up, you’ll become stronger, and you might even be able to take revenge on your own without the help of others. Besides, I think it’s a little pitiful that someone with a rather cute face has a head filled with revenge.”
"..."
Wang Kai's words were just a casual attempt to dissuade her, but after a long silence, he noticed that Ilya's face was already flushed and burning. She quickly turned her face away and said in a trembling voice.
"You...you...you use such lies...lies to persuade people, what...what are your intentions?"
"Huh? I wasn't lying. In my opinion, these are just my honest thoughts..."
"Is...is that so? Do you think the Holy Maiden thinks...thinks the same way?"
"Of course, didn't she tell you herself last night? She said you shouldn't go to extremes..."
"No, that's not what they were talking about. It was what you just said... me, my face, cute?"
Wang Kai was also taken aback. Based on his previous understanding of Ilya, since becoming an orphan, she certainly couldn't live a life of comfort like an ordinary girl with a family. Since embarking on a life of revenge through theft, she had become even less concerned about her appearance, and wouldn't feel uncomfortable even if she looked just like a homeless beggar.
For a little girl like that, simply surviving is a blessing; hearing compliments about her appearance is simply unimaginable...
After being redeemed by Zhang Lan, Ilya became much cleaner and tidier. With the care she received from a family similar to hers before, her thinking gradually shifted from extremes back to that of an ordinary person.
The other girls, still controlled by a servile mentality, are left with nothing but absolute obedience to their masters. They can only mechanically follow orders and have no concept of beauty or ugliness. Now, when a man who looks only a few years older says she is beautiful, the natural sense of pride and satisfaction that comes from within a woman arises instantly.
However, realizing that this trick had a great effect on Ilya, Wang Kai felt that he should take the opportunity to use some special medicine to cure her completely. So, just like teasing a little girl next door, he started to flatter her without hesitation, since "short videos" had provided a lot of reference before.
"Yes, the age of adolescence is such a beautiful time, and having a lovely face adds even more radiance to life. I feel sorry for the fate you bear, Ilya. If it weren't for those painful memories, you would definitely have grown up happily and become a beautiful girl loved by everyone. You would have many suitors who would treat you like a princess. At the same time, you should also open your bright and beautiful eyes to see through scumbags, stay away from useless men, find a true love who is willing to give everything for you, and live happily ever after with your family..."
"You...you stop talking, Kyle...brother."
Ilya's face had turned as red as a ripe tomato. She covered her face with her hands, somewhat afraid to turn her head. She immediately stood up, grabbed a towel from the side, and ran towards the door while calling out.
"They've worked up a sweat and are going to take a shower. Excuse me!"
Wang Kai's face also looked slightly strange. It was the first time he had ever seen someone run away after being flattered. At the same time, he also felt an angry gaze directed at him. Upon closer inspection, he saw it was Masa, whose cheeks were puffed out...
After their eyes met, Martha stopped stomping on the grapes, wiped her feet, and walked towards the door, whispering something to Wang Kai as she passed by.
"People have very sensitive hearing, Kyle... You're so annoying when you flirt, hmph!"
What's going on here?
……
Lunchtime was still the same scene of "eating at the kindergarten", but unlike yesterday, today the big table was full of vegetarian dishes without any oil or meat.
These lucky girls, who had been redeemed by Zhang Lan and transformed from slaves into normal people, seemed to have not yet had enough of the happiness of "having meat at every meal" after more than a month. At this moment, dozens of big eyes were all searching for meat among the pile of vegetables on the table.
Soon after they all confirmed that there was no fragrant meat in the food in front of them today, each of them had a slight regret on their face, but they quickly returned to their composure.
After all, they didn't want to recall those days in the iron cages of the slave trading guild, eating things that weren't even food. Being able to eat their fill of vegetables on a table was a kind of happiness for them...
As the girls prepared their usual "pre-meal prayers," Zhang Lan clapped her hands twice, and everyone immediately looked at her...
Soon, the girls' nostrils twitched, catching the aroma. They all turned to look at the cafeteria door. As the door slowly opened, two maids pushed in a food cart. On the cart were large plates piled high with more than a dozen roasted chickens, glistening with oil. As the mouthwatering aroma of roasted meat filled the cafeteria, smiles naturally spread across the girls' faces, and the sound of them swallowing their saliva echoed one after another...
