Chapter 136 Rainy days and doing quests go even better together!
The next day, the weather turned bad and it rained.
The rain wasn't heavy, but it wasn't light either. The pattering sound of the raindrops drifted into the house from outside, making one feel even lazier.
The rain brought a chill, and when Shichen woke up, he couldn't help but hug Aqua tightly in his arms.
"Hmm."
Aqua's murmured voice made Toki open her eyes.
However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he was dazzled by Aqua's exquisite face, and for a moment he thought he was holding a goddess.
She truly is a goddess.
When she's asleep, Aqua looks so beautiful and peaceful. Because he's holding her, she can't make any silly faces, making her as charming as Sleeping Beauty.
But when she was conscious, she couldn't be treated like Sleeping Beauty anymore. Shi Chen sighed and let her go.
"Hmm...:::: Time?" Aqua opened her eyes groggily.
"It's okay, you can go back to sleep."
"Oh..." Aqua closed her eyes without hesitation.
Shi Chen shook his head, got out of bed, and changed his clothes.
After changing his clothes, Shichen looked at Aqua, who was hugging the blanket as if it were his. She had her back to him, her left leg was pressed on the blanket, and a small half of her buttocks were exposed.
Out of curiosity, Shi Chen used the "steal" technique on her. As expected, all he found was a set of pajamas and nothing else.
Since she was sleeping, she only had this one thing on her body, which meant that she was indeed not wearing panties!
Shi Chen didn't see her take off any panties while changing clothes.
He wasn't interested in Aqua's panties; he just wanted to confirm whether she was wearing any at all, and now he finally solved the problem that had puzzled him for so long.
No longer caring about Aqua, Shiki came to the window, opened it and glanced outside. The mist and rain made the sky look gloomy, not a good time for Shiro to go out.
Instead of going out, he stayed in his room and cultivated his magic for a while until everyone else woke up.
Then, Shichen woke Aqua up and took her downstairs for breakfast.
Although today is not a good day for missions, I still need to meet Darkness.
After breakfast, Shichen used teleportation to bring everyone directly to the guild.
The guild was very quiet early in the morning. Apart from Luna and the others who were already seated at the counter, there was no one else there.
"Oh~ Spatial teleportation is really convenient, Brother Shi, can I learn it too?" Sato Kazuma, having personally experienced the charm of spatial teleportation, couldn't help but ask.
"Of course you can, but it requires a lot of skill points, and you're not ready to learn it yet," Shi Chen replied.
"I know I'll first build up my strength before saving up skill points."
"Very smart."
"Hehe~ I've played the game before, so I know the order of events."
"What game? It even uses teleportation?" Huihui asked curiously.
"It has nothing to do with spatial teleportation; it's just an analogy for improving one's basic strength," Shi Chen explained.
In games, if you don't have a certain level of basic skills at the beginning, you can't do anything, whether it's leveling up by fighting monsters or getting equipment. So it's pointless to think about learning an amazing ability later on.
However, there are no online games in this world, so Huihui doesn't understand them.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"It's okay, don't worry about it." Shi Chen smiled and rubbed her head.
Huihui wasn't wearing her hat today; her short hair was very smooth, which made her look even more youthful.
"Tch~"
"Mr. Shichen, what brings you here?" Luna greeted them with a smile.
"Are you here to accept a mission?"
"No, I'm here to wait for someone," Shi Chen explained with a smile.
"Waiting for someone?" Luna looked at him questioningly. "Who are you waiting for that requires you all to come?"
"Haha, Miss Luna, don't worry, we're waiting for the new member of the team, so we're coming together."
"I see, then congratulations!" Luna offered her heartfelt congratulations.
"Thank you, Miss Luna. You don't need to worry about us. We can just wait over there."
"Okay...would you like something to eat?"
"No need, I just had breakfast."
"Why don't you come to the guild to eat? The breakfast we provide here is quite good," Luna said regretfully.
"Ahem, I'll definitely do it next time."
"It's a promise~"
"Okay, I'll get back to work now," Luna said with a smile as she left.
"Phew..." Shi Chen breathed a sigh of relief and went to sit down with Hui Hui and the others.
Kazuma Sato sat alone on one side, Megumin and Yuuyu sat on the other side of the hour, and Aqua sat on the other side of the hour and fell asleep.
"Hmph~ Is it really necessary to be so nice to that woman?" Huihui complained unhappily as soon as she sat down.
"Huihui, what are you saying?" Youyou looked at her helplessly.
"Isn't that right? It's obvious that woman has something to do with the time; her attitude is so clear."
"But she's a guild employee."
"So what... Humph!"
"Alright, alright, they meant well, you can't be rude to them, can you?" Shi Chen said with a smile.
"Tch~ I think you just have that idea."
"How is that possible!"
"Hmph! He must like her for her flabby arms! What's so great about her anyway?"
"Megumi, you don't understand. That's a man's romance," Kazuma Sato interjected.
"Did I ask you?" Hui looked at him expressionlessly.
"I'm sorry..." Kazuma Sato apologized immediately.
"What are you doing? How can you treat your teammates like this?" Shi Chen slapped her head in annoyance.
"Brother Shi..." Sato Kazuma looked at him with emotion.
"Then why did you treat me like this?" Huihui glared at him with dissatisfaction.
"Hmm... have you gotten used to it?"
"Aaaaah!" Huihui angrily punched Shichen's arm with her little fists.
"Stop it, stop it." Shi Chen quickly grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"Let me go!"
"That won't do. You can't just let me continue hitting you. Unless you stop hitting me."
"That won't do. I'm used to it. I feel uncomfortable if I don't hit you."
"Let me go!"
"It's only because we're outside that you're here, otherwise you'd be lying on your stomach right now." Shi Chen lifted Hui Hui into his arms, holding her tightly so she couldn't move.
"You want to hit me again?"
"Didn't I not hit you?"
"Hmph~ At least you have some conscience."
"Stop fooling around, Darkness and the others are here."
"Where... huh?"
Just then, the guild door was pushed open, and a valiant blonde female knight and a cold-blooded white-haired thief walked in.
The blonde female rider had a faint smile on her face, her eyes filled with anticipation, but the white-haired thief looked rather serious, his eyes revealing fear.
As soon as the two entered, they saw Shi Chen and the others, and then walked towards them together.
"Shichen, we're here!"
"Good morning!" Shi Chen greeted the two with a smile and a wave.
"Good morning, everyone." The two walked to the opposite side of the time.
Sato and Mami were about to sit down, so they nervously moved to the very edge.
"Chris, you're here too." Shi Chen smiled at Chris.
"W-what do you want to do?" Chris asked nervously, clinging to Darkness's arm.
"What can I do?" Shi Chen's lips twitched. Was he really that scary?
"Well, then I'll have to ask you."
"Don't think of me as such a terrible person. Yesterday was just an accident, it just happened to be at the right time."
"I...I don't believe it!" Chris stared at him warily.
"What happened yesterday?" Huihui asked Youyou.
"This..." Youyou glanced at the time, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Hmm? You have little secrets you don't want to tell me anymore?"
"I...I can't say! You should ask about the time!"
"Damn it... Shichen, what happened yesterday?" Huihui asked, looking up.
"Hmm?" Shi Chen looked down at her, then tapped her forehead with his chin.
"Why do kids have so many questions?"
"hateful!"
"Let's not talk about that now. Anyway, welcome Darkness to our team."
"Oh! Does everyone agree?" Darkness asked excitedly.
"Of course, how could a Knight of the Cross not welcome them?"
Thank you everyone!
"What did Chris say? Do you want to join us?" Shi Chen asked her.
"No!" Chris shook his head decisively in refusal.
Shi Chen didn't mind: "Alright, alright, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now."
"Go back? Go where?" Darkness asked blankly.
"Of course, we should go back to the hotel."
"Why? Aren't you going to do the mission?"
It's raining today.
"Wouldn't that be better for doing quests? There are even more giant frogs outside the city on rainy days, shouldn't we go and hunt them down?"
"Nobody lives on rainy days."
?
"I think that's a great suggestion!" Huihui suddenly chimed in excitedly, "I'm in a bad mood today, so I can vent my frustrations on those giant frogs!"
