"I'm out..."

After looking around, there was no sign of the cat-man siblings in the room. Finally, Lin Cang's eyes rested on the note on the table.

Sir, the lunch box has been cleaned and sent back.

With a faint smile, Lin Cang walked out of the door.

I don't know where he's going, maybe he's just wandering around.

Adventurers coming and going on the street kept passing by Lin Cang. It seemed lively, but in fact it was indifferent.

Perhaps a rough guy with a bad personality and a woman of unknown origin are more suitable as teammates.

At least, even if they died tragically at the hands of monsters during the mission, I would not feel the slightest pity or heartache.

What emerges now is a completely different thought than yesterday.

Stopping, a pungent smell that was lower than liquor but higher than beer entered Lin Cang's nose.

"Wine..."

...

Although strong alcohol is not as good as white wine, a few glasses are enough to make Lin Cang, who has never drank alcohol, become intoxicated.

Why did Lin Cang's mood change so quickly? It was because he underestimated feelings.

At first, when he was looking for adventure partners, he had the following thoughts:

They are just teammates on the road, so if something happens, it doesn't matter.

And after completing the mission with Mozart and the others:

Can you really watch them get hurt indifferently...

No way...

"boss..."

"Yes, guest, what's the matter?"

"If...I mean if..."

"I have an adventurer partner, but I'm afraid that he will die in a future mission. What should I do?"

"Is he someone who cares a lot?"

"I can't talk about it, I just want to say that the expression that the child showed by chance showed that he had suffered a tragic experience that I can't even imagine."

"Even when I was at the lowest point in my life, my expression wasn't even half as good as hers..."

"So, are you afraid that you will feel guilty when you see him hurt?"

"Maybe, I have some reasons myself."

"Before embarking on the path of an adventurer, I once said that I would close my emotions."

"But... I don't know whether this feeling is emotion, guilt, pity, or something else."

"It's ridiculous, right..."

"Guest...please correct me, whether you think it's guilt or pity for him, these are all feelings. They are inseparable."

"To give a very simple example, if a completely ruthless person kills someone, will he feel guilty? No. Even if he has the appearance of a human being, without emotions, he is just a beast in human skin. He cannot be called a human being. .”

"Man is not a species, but a concept."

"In my opinion, guest, you have not reached that point yet."

"Your so-called closed feelings are actually just a kind of self-deception."

...

......

Orc area.

"Mary, do you remember what happened last night?"

Mary was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

"As expected...I didn't remember it at first. I just knew that my head was heavy and painful."

"Now I seem to remember something..."

"I vaguely remember seeing a vague human figure. I seemed very angry at the time and attacked him... I don't know why, but the impression is very vague."

"Where's Mary?"

"Um..."

Mary nodded as if she had the same memory.

"It's like... having a nightmare..."

"Generally, the memory of dreams becomes very blurry after waking up... It should just be a dream."

"Mary, are you afraid when you have nightmares?" Mozart asked.

"Afraid...but...feeling warmth again..."

"Is it warm... I don't seem to have any impression of this. In short, it's okay."

"Um..."

"Speaking of which, what does Mary think of Sir?"

"...it's OK."

"Haha, I really want to know what kind of person can make Mary say the word "like".

"I like...brother."

"Eh"

Mozart blushed slightly and waved his hands quickly.

"No...it's not this kind of liking..."

"That's...what like"

"This...this..."

He doesn't know what kind of love he likes.

It's not family affection, nor love.

What I want to ask is definitely not this aspect of my liking. What could it be?

"Then...what does my brother think of my husband..."

"Oh, I... I guess I like it."

"Why"

"...Mary is so difficult to deal with today."

"My brother asked first."

"Yes, yes, even grilled fish skewers can't stop your mouth."

"Hmmmmm..."

...

......

Reception room.

"Sister Edela, what happened to the giant acid ants?"

"It's Xiao Tini. I was just trying to contact you about this matter."

"What happened"

"Well, that adventurer's name seems to be Ezreal. He didn't lie. There are indeed a large number of giant acid ants in the underground waterways, and there are more than 50 of them."

"The people from my adventure group organized a few people to investigate yesterday."

"All four of them are Soul Iron level. As a result, they almost didn't come back and suffered some injuries."

"Hey..."

"I can't believe it. That's what I thought at the time."

"But after taking a closer look at their wounds, it was indeed caused by giant acid ants, and there were signs of corrosion."

"Sister Edela, what should we do now?"

"I originally wanted to report it to the association to dispatch adventurers with the Demonic Killing Order, but the association didn't seem to pay much attention to it, so we had to solve it ourselves."

"why is it like this..."

"Okay, okay, I'm more anxious. Strictly speaking, Tiny is no longer responsible for this matter."

"Is this okay? I always feel so sorry..."

"It's okay. If you feel bad about it, just treat me to dinner another day."

"correct..."

"Sister Edela, what's wrong?"

"I almost forgot. It's best not to go near areas with sewer manhole covers at night."

"what's wrong"

"Because I have a piece of information here saying that someone witnessed giant acid ants appearing in the city."

"Eh"

...

......

Time goes back to last night, in the city of Rexxar Kingdom.

"Too weak...really too weak..."

Lymia Sfeir had just returned from an adventurer group's base, and she beat up the leader there.

When passing a sewer manhole cover, she seemed to hear some strange noise.

"jiji"

The iron manhole cover was turned aside, and two pairs of green eyes seemed to emerge from the dark sewer.

"What the hell"

Limiya stepped forward to check, but she didn't know that the latter would suddenly bite her.

With a flash of cold light, the transformed daggers in his hands turned into five and were thrown out.

"chirp"

Two strange screams rang out.

"cut."

The transformed dagger disappeared quickly, and Limiya ignored it and left in one direction.

...

......

"The leader asked me to follow that woman so that I could find a chance to take revenge... But now I have lost her... What should I do?"

"Wait...what does it smell like?"

"This is... a giant acid ant"

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks exclaimed as he passed the sewer manhole cover.
