After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 567: 423, Snow Goose Adventure Team, deploy again!

Stars twinkled outside the window, music floated on the air, and the desk lamp automatically switched to a soft, pale yellow light.

The page that Lin Da had opened was faintly scripted, as if a feather had lightly brushed across the paper.

He glance at the date, it seemed to be the second day after he left the team.

About his departure, Lin Da never really thought about the condition of the Snow Goose Adventure Team at that time.

If he had to guess, mostly likely Klrona would be popping champagne in celebration, free of supervision at last, while Lia grumpily went to recruit new members.

Lin Da looked towards the diary:

...

[After Lin Da had a big fight with Lia, he moved out of Snow Goose’s villa and hasn’t returned yet. It looks like he really left the team.

Lia had been annoyed with him before, but why such a big reaction this time…

In the evening, I even thought he had gone out to buy supplies; if I had known, I would have advised him.

Lia looks in very bad shape, her face darker than the bottom of a pot, better not mess with her for now.]

Something stirred in Lin Da’s mind; this must have been the day Snow Goose recruited Phyllis, and they finished their campaign on the ninth floor.

It seemed that Lia had not been pleased by his departure, instead she had been sulking the whole time.

She must be waiting for him to comfort her.

Truly a maid’s life with a princess’s heart.

Lin Da had encountered many “Young Lady” characters while gaming, and they all had much better personalities than Lia.

But he generally didn’t trouble himself over fools. He chuckled to himself and continued flipping through the diary.

On this page, Aiko’s script suddenly became spirited, as if coming out from the gloom.

[On reflection, this is actually a good opportunity. Take the chance to get close to Lin Da, let him see how excellent I am, and then I can play with him to my heart’s content.]

…

[Found Lin Da in a rundown restaurant. Who is that blonde beauty next to him? She’s towering! She’s overlapping with my attributes!

When leaving, I gave Lin Da some Gold Coins, surely he will remember my kindness.]

…

[Lia is in a bad mood, gave Klrona a beating for playing games in the middle of the night, neither of them spoke at the dinner table. The whole team’s atmosphere is oppressive, it’s a headache.]

…

[Had dumplings cooked by Lia, it was an eye-opener. Mocked her thoroughly.]

…

[Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team has reached level 20, time to host a promotion party, opportunity knocks.]

…

[Chicken soup coming up~]

…

[It’s ruined! No wonder Lin Da’s pants are so big!

Wasn’t prepared mentally, Lia got the better of me.

Lucky she’s also a coward.

Ah, was forced into a fake confession! And brutally rejected, becoming the joke of Snow Goose, damn it, damn it!]

…

Lin Da shook his head amusedly; if it hadn’t been for Lulu’s help, he would have been in danger that day.

Turning to the next page, it had been quite a while since then, and there were dozens of days where Aiko didn’t continue writing the diary.

Probably because he was too embarrassed, he had no mood to write.

On the current page, there were more words, suggesting that Aiko might have had some new ideas.

[Coming back from the Phoenix Tail Flower promotion party, I often thought, was that really a lie?

In Secret Realm Square, when Lin Da was attacked by an adventurer from Black Mamba City named Mingli, I put aside my pride and sought Bervis’s help.

Perhaps… It wasn’t just everyone at Snow Goose who was deceived.

The real Joker,

has deceived himself.]

Gradually, the diary had reached its last page.

Although there were more pages, they were all blank.

This page had only a few short sentences.

[Being liked by someone as twisted as me must be disgusting. I won’t cling to you after this.

To Lin Da,

I hate you, Aiko.]

With this, he had finished flipping through the entire diary.

Lin Da’s gaze lingered on the last page, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Initially, Aiko only wanted to tease and get back at him.

Like in the game, not securing him as the Platinum Achievement Trophy irked Aiko.

But as time stretched on, he had become more than just a simple “Trophy.”

If the confession at the promotion party was a means for Aiko to compensate for the failed soup plan, a lie,

then the last page’s narrative in the diary was a heart-felt monologue.

The adventurer named Aiko had always “hated” him.

Even this diary that ended up in his suitcase might also have been part of the “revenge.”

By now Lin Da definitely knew the real reason behind Aiko’s retirement.

If a game becomes too difficult, with no glimpse of victory in sight,

one can only give up, leaving the sad place that is White Dove City.

The reason for giving up is not that the game isn’t fun anymore.

If the difficulty was a bit lower, Aiko would gladly rejoin the game.

“Giving up adventuring to settle down and be a common person is your biggest lie,” Lin Da muttered to himself.

A sharp blade appeared in his mind, cutting through all the jumbled thoughts.

What he needed to do was now very clear.

In the diary, besides records about himself, there were many about Lia and Klrona. Mostly it was rambling and complaining, criticizing them harshly.

But the writings were lighthearted and the words lively, painting a picture of warmth and harmony that seemed to leap off the pages.

Lin Da guessed that when Aiko wrote these diaries, the corners of her mouth were upturned.

Every line complained about how bad the Snow Goose Adventure Team was.

But Aiko had never realized,

that she had long since considered Snow Goose her home.

Aiko’s true belonging wasn’t Holy Rock,

nor was it Phoenix Tail Flower.

It was the Snow Goose Adventure Team!

Thud.

Suddenly, a small stone flew in from below and hit the window in front of Lin Da’s desk, producing a crisp sound.

Lin Da raised an eyebrow, this scene seemed familiar…

He opened the window and looked downstairs.

In the sparse starlight, stood five shadowy figures.

A burly man with short blond hair, carrying a hammer.
