Chapter 71: It’s Just a Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: It’s Just a Beautiful Misunderstanding

Although Lina often said she wanted to come and help, due to the adventurous group being a mixed bag of people, Shami didn’t let Lina come over to lend a hand to avoid unnecessary trouble. Instead, he let her stay in the village as an invisible villager.

But Shami underestimated this little villager’s determination. He didn’t know when it started, but Lina secretly ran to the adventurer group’s camp while he was not paying attention.

One evening, the sky was clear, and the stars were scattered across it.

The adventurer group’s camp outside the village.

Dozens of adventurous groups each occupied a spot, set up tents, and marked their territory, turning the sparse forest into a place with many bonfire stacks.

The entire forest was filled with various noises and disturbances.

As usual, Shami carried second-hand goods he had prepared in advance, shuttling between the different camps, selling his wares.

Each camp was a different scene.

Some were dancing around the bonfire for fun, others were hunters analyzing how to grab gold coins from monsters, and there were bounty hunters pretending to drink while actually observing whether there were bounty targets around, and even some tents continuously made rustling sounds.

In short, it was very chaotic.

At this time, Shami saw a familiar figure hiding in the bushes, secretly watching the adventurer’s campsite.

He hurried over and kicked the girl hiding inside.

"Ouch, ouch! Shami?"

The girl fell on her backside and looked at Shami in surprise.

"What are you doing here?"

Shami frowned at Lina.

"A female villager sneaking around the adventurer’s campsite at night in the bushes will be mistaken for a wild beast and accidentally hurt, right?"

In the dark, Lina’s face was still blushing, but in the dim light, Shami couldn’t clearly see the subtle changes in her small face.

The girl slowly got up from the ground.

"Because I’m very worried about you... I can’t see you every night..."

"What can happen to me?"

"But you clearly told me you’re just selling things, so why do you still suffer various humiliations every night..."

The girl looked worryingly at Shami.

What kind of humiliation is this supposed to be?

Shami detected a hint of oddness in the girl’s words.

"How long have you been following me?"

"About half a month..."

The girl honestly replied.

"So long? I didn’t even notice all this time."

Shami realized he was completely unaware of this.

But you can’t blame him, after all, all his mind was on selling things, who could have thought someone would be bored enough to follow a villager like that.

The girl slightly opened her mouth, stammering a bit.

"Actually, I only followed you for two or three days, afterwards, every night I came here and hid, waiting for Shami to go home, and then I would come out and go home with you."

The girl pointed to the bushes beside her.

"Are you an idiot?"

Shami glared at Lina.

Lina bashfully lowered her head.

The girl’s words were half-true.

Raising her head slightly, the girl’s eyes couldn’t help but fall on the two tents in the distance.

Initially, she really did secretly follow Shami every night, afraid that he would get bullied by the adventurers.

But gradually, the situation changed—

The girl was drawn by the phenomenon of the tents shaking at night.

If the girl didn’t have the curiosity to explore, how would she be different from a bug?

Driven by curiosity, the girl started hiding in the bushes, using the open view, she spent entire evenings watching different tents.

During these half a month, aside from the first three days, she spent almost every night coming to the adventurer’s camp outside, hiding in these bushes, peeking at the tents.

But waiting for Shami to go home together was also a very important factor!

Those two tents were Lina’s main observation targets.

The tent material seemed quite thin, and with the bonfire set up behind the tents, she could clearly see the people inside, like watching a spectacular shadow play.

It’s unknown whether the people inside were aware of the situation, but it’s been like this for over ten days, they were probably deliberately letting people outside see.

Daydreaming, the girl’s neck flushed again.

During these ten days or so, the girl’s knowledge in a certain aspect completed a leap from the stone age to the magic era.

"Hurry back."

Shami interrupted the girl’s thoughts.

The girl also came back to her senses, remembering her initial purpose for coming here.

Shami’s grievances these days were all seen by the girl, she raised her head and looked seriously at Shami.

"Shami, I want to defeat the demon king. I don’t want you to suffer any more grievances."

Shami was squatting down at this time, checking today’s earnings, finding that a B-class adventurer had given him a piece of chocolate as a copper coin.

Damn, you even cheat a villager out of his small money!

"Oh, then go ahead."

He hurriedly began to check the money he earned today, absentmindedly replying to the girl.

"Let’s go together."

The girl wasn’t joking.

"Not going."

The girl clenched her teeth, decided: "Then I’ll go by myself..."

"Hmm."

But heading out just like this, maybe she’d be back a day later because she couldn’t bear it.

Absolutely need a strong spiritual anchor to be able to embark on this journey without hesitation.

"If, Shami, what if I succeed and come back, can we be like them?"

The girl’s heart pounded, swallowing, her index finger slowly raised, pointing through a camp in the middle towards the tent, her face turning even redder.

Shami stood up, looking in the direction Lina was pointing, just in time to see adventurers having a party around a bonfire, casually replying.

"Oh, of course, you really succeeded, I will personally serve you, all you need to do is enjoy."

The girl’s cheeks blushed deeply, quickly burying her face with her hands at her chest.

Based on the girl’s experiences these days, she slightly parted her lips.

"Actually, it’s better if both people help each other with such things..."

Seeing Shami ignoring her again, the girl twisted her legs in embarrassment.

"If it could last three days and nights, maybe my determination would be greater..."

Shami slightly frowned.

"It’s a bit tiresome for me, but if you’re okay with it, of course, I’m willing to accompany you."

The girl nervously clenched her little fists.

"Then I can do whatever I want..."

"Of course."

Steam slowly rose from the girl’s head, wanting to ask more, she quickly patted her face with her hands.

Greedy Lina, that’s already enough demands!

"It’s a promise then..."

"Oh." (without feeling)

On the rooftop.

Lureya: ...

Shami: ...

At the time, I totally thought you were talking about holding a celebration party! It turns out you were aiming directly at what was happening in that tent across the camp, skipping the party camp, huh? I don’t even know whether to praise your exceptional eyesight or say you’ve been entirely corrupted by the adventurers!
