After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 578: 430, Five-star Character: [Embrace of Pain] Anna
 

Lin Da: “Lia can’t be that dumb, can she?”

Aiko: “Let’s not talk about that. Shall we… start? I, I can hardly wait anymore.”

The white strappy sandals stopped at the edge of the bed.

The toes were painted with light pink nail polish, and the arches of the feet were white and jade-like.

A fragrant scent followed the gaps between the bedsheets and the floor, reaching the nostrils of the three people including Lia.

If Lia didn’t know they were Aiko’s feet, she might have mistaken them for some sort of delicacy.

The owner of these feet squatted on the floor, with the tips of her feet cocked up.

Another pair of feet, clad in men’s brown adventurer boots.

Thump.

The bed above Lia and the others dipped slightly.

It seemed like Lin Da had taken a seat on it.

Lin Da said, “Don’t you want to take a bath first… You’re too eager.”

“The original flavor is better.”

Aiko cut off Lin Da’s speech and said shyly, “Do you know? I’ve waited two years for this day.”

“Um, wasn’t it three and a half years?”

“Because I only started liking you in the second half of your first year with the team,” Aiko said with a smile.

Although Lin Da was an experienced adventurer, his teammates were all pushovers. In essence, he was a naive adventurer.

He couldn’t handle Aiko’s flirting, even though she seemed like a veteran.

His face turned a bit red all of a sudden.

After some rustling noise.

“Here I go!”

Aiko said excitedly.

After that.

Rolling, muffled sounds.

Which were somewhat unintelligible.

Lia frowned and vaguely guessed a bit.

A blurry scene that needed to be pixelated.

But it seemed improbable.

Eating a cake that fell on the ground after three seconds was one thing, but if it turned into something dirty after three seconds, who would put it in their mouth?

Lia felt that Aiko was quite clean.

So… Aiko had to be eating the strawberry cake that Lin Da hid in the bedroom!

Not only eating it but gobbling it down!

Darn it~!

She hated that he saved the good stuff for Aiko instead of for her.

Lia’s mouth felt as if stuffed with a lemon, sour enough to bring tears to her eyes.

Since the marriage between the Phoenix Tail Flower and Holy Rock clans, it meant that Lin Da would treat Aiko better than he treated her.

After all, Aiko was to become Lin Da’s wife.

She, an old team captain, had nothing to compare with Lin Da’s wife.

So frustrating!

Lia was fuming from the top of her head.

“Shh!” Chloe placed her index finger on Lia’s mouth. Though younger, she was more composed than Lia at critical moments.

Anna’s eyes bulged, and her mind emanated a green glow. Unconsciously, she recovered from level 30 to level 32.

About five minutes later, the noise outside disappeared.

Aiko… why are you so skilled?”

“I guess I have a talent for it, consider it payback for the foot massages you gave me before!”

“With my former teammates, ah, the feeling of strangeness is too intense.”

Lin Da, sitting on the edge of the bed, had very mixed feelings.

Yesterday, they had a normal old teammate relationship, and today the old teammate was vigorously serving him.

Aiko’s image as kind and gentle was completely shattered.

Lin Da felt like yogurt that had been completely absorbed both inside and out. Even the bits on the lid and the very inside were snatched away by Aiko.

In the future, in addition to harsh adventures, there might be endless backaches.

“Ahem, ahem, ahem, now it’s my turn to help you…” Lin Da took Aiko’s hand and pulled her up.

He muttered, “The curtains are all drawn, and Lulu and the others have gone to bed…”

Aiko laughed and said, “Although I’m looking forward to it too, I really feel uncomfortable being watched by so many people.

You don’t like being stared at either, right? Just like now, it was only for five minutes?

I heard from Klyne that when they make babies, it takes at least twenty minutes.”

“It’s just that I’m too tired today, and not in my best condition,” Lin Da shook his head and said, “Once I recover, I’ll show you what I’m really capable of. Wait a minute, what was your first sentence again?”

An adventurer’s biggest taboo is being told they’re inadequate. Lin Da was so angry that he forgot the most important first half of the sentence.

“I don’t like being watched,” Aiko said, pointing under the bed and blinking her eyes.

Lin Da’s eyelid twitched.

Could it be?

An intruder in the house?

He made a silencing gesture to Aiko, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, blocked both ends of the bed.

He suddenly bent down his head, looking inside.

What Aiko saw was a red-haired young girl with an embarrassed expression, giggling awkwardly.

What Lin Da saw…

was a somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar black-dressed young girl with a teardrop mole by her eye.

“Hey,” the black-dressed young girl said, waving cheerfully.

“Your heads…” Lin Da said in astonishment.

Never mind who the black-dressed young girl was for the moment. Why was she wearing a green duckbill hat on her head?

“And Klrona and Lia, too?”

The anger in Lin Da’s belly turned into confusion.

“Ha, hahaha…” Lia laughed dryly as she walked out from under the bed.

Klrona asked curiously, “What was Aiko just doing? Her mouth smells fishy.”

“Grown-up matters, kids shouldn’t ask too many questions.”

Aiko stood with her hands on her hips, glaring fiercely at the two of them.

Then, they all turned their attention to the last girl.

If it was an acquaintance who committed the act, they could deal with it leniently.

But an unknown person sneaking into the Phoenix Tail Flower mansion was a serious incident.

Anna had no awareness of being caught, as if attending a party; she crawled out from under the bed and gracefully lifted her skirt in a curtsy:

“Good evening, everyone. I am an adventurer from the Royal Capital, Anna Mikel. Please take care of me.”

The Royal Capital?

Hearing these words, Aiko and everyone else looked at each other, all somewhat surprised.

Was she a noblewoman from the Royal Capital?

Compared to the Royal Capital, White Dove City was almost like the countryside.

A single house there could be worth an entire building in White Dove City.

Why would such a young lady come to White Dove City and hide under a bed to peep at Lin Da?

Lin Da stared at Anna, lost in thought.

The familiar green hat, black hair, red pupils, and the noticeably sharper canines than the average person…

The image of a Five-Star Card character flashed before Lin Da’s eyes.

Bonds were truly mysterious.

In the vast Mystic Continent, Lin Da always managed to run into his former team members.

Now, three years had passed.

The young girl had grown a lot.

Her chest had gone from flat to slightly raised.

She had also grown ten centimeters taller.

All these changes meant that it took Lin Da a while to recognize her identity.

A Bloodline Five-Star Character from the Autumn Limited Gacha Pool “Colorful Falling Leaves”.

“Embrace of Pain”: Anna!

She appeared delicate and petite, like a frail young lady.

In fact, her profession was that of a damage-dealing Heavy Armored Warrior.

Her innate skill was “Mask of Pain”.

Whenever Anna experienced pain, she could accumulate power.

She also had the trait of being unfazed by Seals.

When Anna’s powers were forcibly sealed, she could rely on “Mask of Pain” to gradually break free.

Lin Da remembered that when he had first crossed over, Anna in his team was at Light Rank.

Now she was only at level 30.

It seemed she had been subjected to some kind of seal.

Hiding under the bed and peeping was most likely to leverage the power of her innate skill “Mask of Pain”.

The second act of Anna’s personal story was: “A Kind-hearted Girl”.

Anna was obedient, always managing to complete various commands given by the player.

When it came to the reward phase of petting her head, she liked to give her chance to other team members.

Watching her teammates enjoy the captain’s affection in her stead, Anna smiled on the surface, but inwardly she was in profound agony.

This cycle of self-abuse not only didn’t destroy Anna’s mindset but allowed her to find joy in it, becoming increasingly addicted to assisting her teammates.

In many team members’ favorability stories, Anna’s figure was present.

She was a character eager to help the captain build a harem.
