Chapter 50 Night Talk
The special training was forced to stop before they had even gotten very far from the room.
Without Lei Ye intervening, Anlaxi couldn't refuse Loya's insistence on going to her house, so she had no choice but to take her back to her room.
Listening to the two chatting on the way, Lei Ye learned that Luo Ya lived next door to Anlaxi, which could be considered as fate between them.
Loya and Anlashi are mortal enemies on Line 1. Loya always calls Anlashi a fat woman and mocks her figure. Although Anlashi is not very good at talking back, she has fought back in some ways, such as when she takes on a commission and suddenly commands a monster to scare Loya when she is alone.
This was originally the cheapest room in the daily rental type of hotel, and there wasn't much space. Lei Ye and Anlaxi were both very big, and the two of them already felt cramped in the room. Now that there was also Luo Ya, it was even more crowded.
Lei Ye silently shrank into his corner, turned his back to the wall, and adopted the posture one would expect when summoning a monster. Behind him, the sound of Loya's sobbing drifted over.
However, she did not get straight to the point. Instead, she first talked about the oppression she suffered from the guild, the discrimination from the nobles, and the exclusion from her colleagues. Thankfully, she was quite frank when she talked about these things, without any embellishment. So after listening to what she said, Anrashi just looked puzzled.
"It sounds like... it's always your problem, Miss Loya?"
"What?! Even those out-of-towners think it's my problem? Could it be... could it really be me who has a problem?"
"...What did you just call me?"
"Hey, don't interrupt me, let me tell you about what happened the day before yesterday."
Lei Ye silently gave Luo Ya a thumbs up.
That's right, Loya. When you first meet her, you must show your true colors as a heroine. Don't use your innocent appearance to fool the honest kid Anlashi.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...
Then, finally, they got to what Raino wanted to hear.
Regarding the matter of "Rayno".
That day, he came to the guild and posted a companion recruitment request. Loya then recounted the adventure of that day in its entirety.
Lei Ye was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the guy who had taken his body hadn't done anything bad, and even wanted to form a team to defeat the Demon King right away. As he listened, Lei Ye even felt a bit of admiration. From Loya's description, it wasn't hard to tell that the guy wasn't actually good at fighting. If he did this to save the world, then he could be considered a genuine local hero.
But then he thought about it again and realized that something was wrong. First of all, when Lei Ye recalled the scene he saw in the scorched earth, he didn't think that the demons were any kind of evil forces. Thinking about it carefully, he hadn't really seen any demons from the scorched earth coming to provoke humans in all this time.
Currently, the character that truly fits Lei Ye's concept of a "villain" is Evil. Ye Lei is a special character, so we won't mention her for now. But that Keboros has really killed quite a few people.
In addition, before her hasty departure, Ye Lei specifically instructed that if the goal was to kill the Demon King, the dump truck that flew down afterward must ensure that it was he who was killed.
Oh dear, if he's heading straight for the dump truck, then this guy is in serious danger.
Lei Ye scratched his butt and quietly turned around, thinking as he watched the two people sitting cross-legged on the bed chatting like country women.
"It sounds like... it's still your problem, Miss Loya. According to you, you invited some strange companions in a strange way..."
"What are you talking about! What do you mean by 'strange partner'? You stinking outsider, do you have a problem with our Silver Spears, the top-tier explorer team in Hillius?!"
"Because it really is strange. Also, Miss Loya, are you using that weird form of address again? Could you change it? I feel uncomfortable with it..."
"Ugh, you keep interrupting. Fine, I forgive you. Now, stop talking about them and talk about me. Do you really think there's something wrong with me?"
Anrahi stared at Loya's face for a few moments with an expression that seemed to ask, "Is this person serious?" Then, having received some kind of answer, she trembled as she fiddled with her long, black hair, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
It's not scary to be a genius; what's scary is when a genius doesn't even realize they're a genius.
Fortunately, the elf lady was quite sincere and didn't only tell the part of the story that was in her own best interest, so it was believable. Perhaps it's true that she wanted advice from normal people.
Lei Ye couldn't hear Anlaxi's inner thoughts, otherwise he would have told her directly that things weren't as she thought. Loya didn't say so much not because she was sincere, but because she was stupid. And how can you be sure that this isn't a version she's already polished?
After playing with his hair and thinking for a while, Anlashi spoke.
"First of all, your method is very abnormal. If you want to recruit teammates, why not post a request on the request board instead of standing on the table and shouting? If I were him, I would feel very embarrassed."
"Then let me ask you this: didn't he just wait there without getting any decent teammates? Didn't my intervention bring in a powerful team of explorers?"
"this..."
Although she felt something was wrong, Anlashi didn't know how to refute it. She wanted to complain about whether the group was really serious, but she realized she had already complained about it once, so the words stuck in her throat and she didn't say them.
Raino can explain this.
On Line 1, as a representative of the Forest River, he went to negotiate with Tack, the captain of a certain squad, asking if they were willing to join forces to defeat the Demon King. But the most common response he received was, "Are you kidding me?"
Considering Raino's long face these past few days since losing his wife, his sudden declaration of wanting to kill the Demon King might seem more like self-destructive behavior to others. Therefore, the Silver Spear Squad's initiative to join in wasn't just to get a free commission or to start a romantic comedy, but also to observe whether Raino was in a good state.
Loya is a fool, and Anlahi is an outsider; only he can realize this.
Lei Ye accepted the kindness without batting an eye and then listened to the two chatting.
"Also, during the commissioning process, you did almost nothing, didn't you?"
"Yes."
Anrahi was taken aback by the honest reply, and then exclaimed.
"What?! Why are you acting so matter-of-factly? Aren't you lovers? You should be taking on commissions together, fighting side-by-side with your lover, that's how it should be! What you're doing is very... very..."
Anlashi pondered the adjective, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and slapped his thigh, "So extreme! So incredibly extreme, Miss Loya!"
"Haha, don't make me laugh. I'm not beating up," Loya laughed. "Besides, what kind of weird idea is that? You don't know, do you? Lei Ye is the best fighter in this city. As his girlfriend, I don't have to do anything when I go on a commission with him. Otherwise, he would be so good at fighting for nothing."
"what?"
Deeply shocked, Anrahi took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and whispered in a serious tone.
"That's the problem. Listen carefully, Miss Loya. A lover isn't someone you can rely on unilaterally like this. They should support each other. Lovers can be unequal in strength, wealth, or status, but if they only think about depending on each other, then their souls are unequal, and that's absolutely unacceptable."
"Master Anlashi... what you're saying is amazing. Does that mean you have a lot of experience in love? No wonder you're so good at seducing people."
"Did I hear that right? What did you just say to me?"
"But I didn't understand a word. Master Allah, could you explain it in simpler terms?"
"?"
'
Anlahi stared at Loya's face for a few moments with an expression that seemed to say, "Is this person serious?", and then sighed.
"If you really like him, you can't just rely on him. You have to do something for him too. Although I don't have much experience, I think this simple principle should be correct."
There was a moment of silence, and Loya didn't respond.
Just when Lei Ye thought she was about to say something like "I have no choice," she suddenly spoke as if she had made up her mind.
"Okay, I understand."
This really surprised Lei Ye; he thought Luo Ya would never agree.
"Actually, I didn't want it to be like this, but... I feel resentful or what? I've always had a strange feeling. I was the first person in this city to meet him. According to the usual development, I should have been the one who was closest to him. But I only hesitated for a moment, just a moment when I first met him, and then some strange person inexplicably appeared and took my place."
"I might even hate those two people a little. One took my place, and the other gave me expectations without my consent and then betrayed me. But they were both very good to me, so I had no choice but to endure it and remain silent."
"Now all of that is in the past. I just want to know how to get back to that place, but he always refuses me."
These words surprised Lei Ye even more. He never expected that Luo Ya would be the one who could so keenly sense that her fate had been quietly altered.
She guessed right. The situation on Line 1 was exactly as she had described. Loya was considered one of Lei Ye's closest friends.
Just then, Loya dropped a bombshell.
"Let me continue. When I came back that evening, I was very excited and thought that the atmosphere was just right to make our relationship public."
"Oh, you two are a secret couple," Anlaxi suddenly realized.
"What nonsense about a secret relationship! It's all just Luo Ya's delusions," Lei Yexin said.
"Then, he suddenly grabbed me off the table, pinned me to the ground, and punched me repeatedly. Look at my face, it's all from his beatings."
"Domestic abuser, sister, you've had some bad luck with men." Anlaxi leaned over to look at the wound under the bandages that Loya had pulled back, then shook her head with a pout.
The next second, Loya lightly punched her in the stomach, but this only made Loya unhappy.
"You don't know anything! My Lei Ye is a gentle man. Why does he only hit me and no one else? That shows I'm special to him, you understand?"
"...No way, are you an idiot?"
"Damn it, those out-of-towners have no manners at all. Why are you swearing? Don't interrupt, let me continue. Actually, I wasn't too bothered by the two times he hit me; it was better than him ignoring my kindness before. But he said some really outrageous things, like how any normal person could never be a lover of a woman like me with a problem in her head. I asked him, 'Don't you remember our agreement?' He didn't answer, he just kept hitting me."
"Excuse me, what agreement is it?"
"He gave me five gold coins and I became his mistress. After his wife died, I became his wife."
Anlahi was so angry he laughed.
"Okay, okay, well done! I finally understand. You two are not lovers at all. It turns out you've been the one making things up all along. I think that agreement was just something you made up."
"You fat bastard, I knew you weren't a good person! Want to fight? Then come on!"
The two, who had been chatting happily at the beginning, suddenly turned on each other, jumped off the bed and started fighting. They each used one hand to hold each other's fingers and wrestled, while using the other hand to punch and block freely. Lei Ye silently curled up, giving the two enough space.
That's right, that's what a healthy team relationship in the Forest River should be like.
Despite being a high-level explorer, Loya quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and was completely suppressed by Anlashi in close combat.
Loya, clutching her lower abdomen, sat on the ground like a duck, then suddenly covered her face and wept bitterly.
The sound of her crying made Anlaxi freeze in her tracks, instinctively wanting to help her up.
"After saying those terrible things, I noticed something really bad. In the middle of the fight, the maid from the Raino family arrived. The maid's name is Venus, and she's a beautiful little angel."
Loya said, sobbing.
"Venus came to invite Raino home for dinner. I know they've always had a good relationship, but... but that day, Raino showed Venus a very unusual attitude for the first time. He grabbed Venus's shoulders and said something like, 'Oh right, how could I forget about you?' and those chilling words, 'The most reliable person is right beside me.'"
"Then he ignored me lying on the ground, took Venus's hand, and went home. That's cheating! That's clearly cheating!"
Anrahi's hand, which was reaching to help Loya, froze again, and she covered her face with the hand that was suspended in the air.
"How is this cheating? At least those two have a foundation of affection compared to you, right? You're crazy. What kind of relationship counseling is this? You're just a twisted, dark guy who can't stand seeing others doing well. Get out, get out of my room."
"There's no way I can leave. Actually, you're the one I'm cheating on with too, aren't you?" Loya wiped away her tears and stood up. "That's why I came to you. I have to get to the bottom of this!"
"No, is there something else I need to do?"
"right!"
Loya pointed directly at Anlashi, "Tonight, when I was eavesdropping, I heard him mutter your name to himself, and say something about how he should be taken care of tomorrow. What exactly is your relationship with Anlashi? What did you do to my Lei Ye for the sake of Xilius's account? Don't just stand there, speak!"
