She looked at Will's smiling face behind his glasses...

I'm thinking, is he hiding something from himself?

After all, this smile...is indeed a brave smile.

Leah always felt that her student was serious and mature, too "top student", and planned everything very well, like a machine that ran accurately.

His sincerity...

Will didn't seem to be used to Leah's smile. After looking at her for a moment, he turned his head with some discomfort and looked at the tomato soup that was served under the table.

——Have you never been seen before?

When you look at someone else's eyes, it's actually an exchange.

Not only can she convey her sincerity through her eyes without any evasion, but she can also receive the sincerity in his eyes...

but……

Leah looked at his profile, her light blue eyes looking forward behind her glasses.

This time, he avoided the look he extended.

——Aren’t you the person who is neither frank nor straightforward?

Unconsciously, Leah bit her fork a little tighter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night.

The four "Qi Ming Star" people temporarily rented a cabin in Novis Town and carried out their own activities.

Leah went back to her room to rest, and Elle wanted to get familiar with the house and clean it.

And Treya and Will...

Treya habitually practices swordplay at night - because at night, she can feel the power of the "devil" more clearly.

In the small courtyard behind the hut, there were sounds of sword blades tearing the air.

After practicing several sets of sword styles to increase proficiency, Treya sheathed her sword.

Normally she would practice a little longer, but she was really tired today.

She actually wanted to start the dungeon raiding mission sooner.

The reason is simple...

She has transformed Eugenie into her "internal agent", and Eugenie's biological mother is the current queen. So Treya became the third person after Eugenie and her brother who knew her father's physical condition best.

In short, it is not optimistic. His health has been deteriorating in the past three years. In the past year, he has not seen anyone anymore. He lies in a hospital bed and relies on the royal doctors to keep him alive.

There may not be much time left for yourself.

But it doesn't matter, Treya trusts Will...he will walk on this road with her.

Looking back, she took a few steps and was about to go back.

but……

Suddenly I felt there was someone nearby!

After walking around a bit, she looked sideways at the side of the room.

Will was pacing back and forth in a path on the side of the house, holding a red-covered book in his hand and flipping through it, still muttering something to himself.

"The best way is to wait here for a month and check the situation. There are also dungeons nearby that are very suitable for newcomers. If Xiu shows up and joins the team..."

"Teacher Will?"

Treya leaned over and whispered hello.

"...Speaking of which, I'm also curious about what the male protagonist will look like..."

"Will?"

"...Huh? Thereya?"

Will was a little panicked. He originally thought Treya would train for a while longer. It was precisely because Yiel was in the house and Will didn't want Yiel to worry that he walked out of the house.

"What kind of trouble are you in? I've rarely seen you look so anxious. The lights here are also very dim. If you need to read a book... why don't you go in?"

"It's nothing, it's just a small matter. Traia... today ended very early."

"Maybe it's my first time entering the dungeon, so I'm a little tired."

"Really? There's not a lot of exercise today."

Will immediately closed his book and walked over, first looking at her light armor, then taking her sword and inspecting it carefully.

"Let me analyze it. Well, I didn't actually consider the issues of load-bearing and heat resistance before. Maybe it can be coordinated with Yi Aier. The sword's wear level is also a bit high... This may make it more difficult to cut smoothly. You can go buy another one on the street during your break tomorrow.”

"I think it's just that I got a little hot while waiting in the afternoon, which wore off my stamina and didn't consume much physical energy."

Treya was also taken away by Will and followed to analyze the reason.

She looked up at Will.

Will frowned, actually looking a little tired, and his short brown hair was messed up while he was thinking.

"No, no, this just proves that this equipment still has problems with heat dissipation. In the future, we will encounter fire-themed dungeons, and we have to solve this problem. Starting with socks? It seems like a good idea. I have heard of ice before. Silk stockings..."

Will was always like this, more concerned about her affairs than his own.

Will, who was still thinking like this, was suddenly held by the hand of Treya, a half-elf who was slightly lower than a human.

"?!"

"Will, although I often say you don't need to treat me like a princess. If you need help, you can always tell me."

Treya looked at him with her dark blue eyes and spoke extremely seriously.

Will pulled his hand out in a panic.

——Could it be that even her relatively slow-feeling person could tell that she had something on her mind?

——Are you so obvious?

——Or is it because I acted too heartlessly before?

"It's...it's nothing! It's not as bad as looking for you, that would be a bit scary...ah...it's getting late. Should I go back and rest first?"

"……Um."

Treya looked at her empty hand and agreed.

She is a little different from the simple princess she was three years ago. In the past three years, she has used her sister's connections to contact many groups, nobles and various forces that have deals with the royal family.

Only then did she realize...

People close to them all have their own "interests" and "desires" - just like what Will once taught himself.

In a "black" world, this is normal.

This is a world where desire is the bond and connection.

but……

He looks like a person with no desires...

Treya discovered that until now, she didn’t know why Will... would approach her.

——What do you want?

——Knowing this, is there a way... to keep you by my side?

Treya looked at his back, and without even realizing it, the hand she had just held was squeezed tightly.

Chapter 114: Exciting Letter

"Master——"

There was a thump outside the door.

Yiel was wagging her tail and waiting for him outside with a basket of dirty clothes.

He just came back and went upstairs without saying a word. Yi Aier didn't even know if she heard what she said to him.

"I'm here to collect the dirty clothes you took off today. It's hard to find a room. You can wash them during your break tomorrow."

"The new clothes are here too——"

"Master...?"

There was no movement. Yiel opened the door a crack in worry and found Will, who had taken off his coat and only wore a thin lining vest, lying on the table. He sat down and probably wanted to write something, but he was too tired. , and finally fell asleep on the table.

"Hmm... It shouldn't be a problem to go in like this... Although it doesn't comply with the rules of peeping, he can easily catch a cold like this..."

Elle walked in quietly carrying the basket of dirty clothes and came close to Will.

"Young Master..."

"Well..."

Will drowsily got up from the table and rubbed his eyes. He looked like he was still half asleep.

"Master, it's Yi Aier... come in and collect your dirty clothes today..."

Will seemed to have really not woken up. Hearing Yi Aier's request, he just nodded.

"Um……"

Then he crossed his hands in front of his vest...

Start lifting up your clothes and taking them off...

"Wait a minute, Master—"

This time it was Yi'er's turn to be unable to react, and covered her eyes - not forgetting to leave a crack.

Bang.

The basket of dirty clothes she was carrying also fell to the ground because of this action, and Leah's robe and Thereya's stockings fell out.

"Huh? Huh...? Huh...??!"

Will really woke up at this time and put down the clothes that had lifted up a piece of his abdomen.

"This...this..."

He was indeed in a daze and hadn't woken up yet.

Yi'er thought for a while, and it seemed that she had not seen such a young master for many years.

At the System Manor before going to school, he was indeed not in good health. When he was sick, he would occasionally look like he was in a bad state of mind.

After going to school, he got older, seemed to be diligent in exercising, and his physical fitness improved a lot. It was rare to see him feeling confused and depressed.

Yiel misses her very much.

"It's okay. The young master is indeed tired today. It feels like I haven't seen the young master like this for a long time. It's quite happy for me."

Yiel was relieved and happy.

Ever since Will started going to school, Yi Aier was actually a little worried... For example, compared to whether she had the strength to protect him, he seemed to need her less and less.

He has his own friends, and his physical and magical qualities are getting stronger and stronger.

Even when he formed a dungeon team, just like today, he was able to understand the BOSS so clearly and stand behind with a safe attitude.

but……

Yiel just saw it!

Not only did Will look dazed due to exhaustion, but also his abdomen was exposed when he lifted up the hem of his clothes...

The young master is indeed still the thin and slender young master.

I still need myself... to be by my side.

You need to protect yourself...

Delicate young master.
