After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

"Quick, brothers, charge! Aimmi, the top idol of Cyan City, is performing at Swan Amusement Park—I must get to hold Aimmi's delicate hand and then never wash it again for the rest of my life!"

"I'm going to shake hands with my Own OO and Aimmi!"

"Aimmi, my goddess!"

A horde of rotund fans charged towards Lin Da, kicking up dust as they ran.

To the unknowing, it would seem as if a Monster Tide had arrived.

A sense of alarm struck Lin Da's heart, "The top idol of Cangqing Province, Aimmi, is performing here? I kind of want to see... No, that's not right! What's most important now is not to get scattered by these frenzied fans. The fireworks display is about to start, and I need to stay with everyone."

Regrettably, the people at the front of the fat crowd turned out to be quite strong, many reaching level 20. Faced with these fans who had lost their reason in their eagerness to see their idol, Lin Da had no choice but to dodge them.

"Wuu wuu, my captain," Monica said, getting so frightened that she hugged her head and squatted down right there.

"Hand, hand to me!" Lin Da desperately tried to grab Monica.

"Woo hoo hoo, Aimmi, here I come!"

A man in a white suit and with blond slicked-back hair, his eyes alight with peach hearts, pushed through between Lin Da and Monica, shoving away the hand Lin Da had stretched out.

The next moment, the crowd surged closer and Lin Da could no longer see Monica.

At the last glimpse, he saw Lulu grabbing Monica's hand. There shouldn't be anything to worry about—despite Lulu seeming rather indifferent, she was actually very good at taking care of others.

The detestable man who had interrupted Lin Da, the blond with the slicked-back hair, turned out to be the commander of the White Dove Adventure Group, a level 34 wind-based Mage named Gale!

Choosing to chase stars over participating in a perfectly good fireworks display, Gale's leadership was certainly exemplifying misconduct.

Having no other choice, Lin Da looked for someone else nearby. His gaze fortunately met with Isa, who looked spiritless and was being jostled about in the crowd.

Ever since Lin Da had seen Isa's naked body, Isa hadn't been feeling right.

Understandable, as Isa's father was a highly principled Knight who was strict at home. He surely expected his daughter to remain chaste. Lin Da, having seen what he should and shouldn't have, certainly made Isa uncomfortable.

Lin Da hesitated a moment but still decided to reach out his hand.

"Isa, over here!"

He grabbed Isa's wrist.

A moment later.

"Whew, whew, that was terrifying. Frenzied fans are just too scary," he gasped as he sat under a large pine tree at the summit, wiping the sweat from his forehead and recalling the Aimmi fans who had charged over like starving wolves, shuddering at the thought.

"It seems we can't find Lulu and the others," Isa mentioned, her mind on other matters as she glanced around. The peak was filled with couples and adventure teams watching the fireworks display—a crowd of more than a thousand people.

Finding Lulu and the others among so many would be tough.

Down below, a light bullet shot up with a tail like a shooting star into the night sky and then exploded with a bang.

The fireworks display had begun!

Looking for someone now was clearly futile.

Lin Da adjusted his emotions and said, "As long as we are under the same night sky, watching the same fireworks, I believe the World Tree Goddess will bless us."

"Mhm," Isa gently nodded her head.

The two of them simply sat down by the large pine tree and looked up at the night sky.

As the first light bullet rose, several more followed in quick succession, turning the sky into a brilliant rain of light.

Everyone on the summit silently closed their eyes, placed their right hands over their hearts, and made wishes for the new year.

Lin Da silently mused, "In the new year, I hope the team remains harmonious, purifies Little Sister, and safely adventures together."

After a short while.

Lin Da opened his eyes.

He wanted to ask what wish Isa had made.

But when he turned his head, he saw Isa staring intently at him.

Lin Da asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

"Lin Da, I..."

As the fireworks bloomed in the night sky, the colorful dazzling lights were reflected on Isa's face.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, causing the girl's silver hair to flutter.

Isa's lips moved, and she said something.

Her voice was drowned out by the rain of light from the fireworks.

Lin Da's eyes widened slightly.

This was why Isa had always been so nice to him.

Inviting him to join the team, giving him a Town Portal Scroll, agreeing to defeat Epic Monsters together...

It was all because of this.

Although Isa was well-regarded, it didn't mean she treated everyone the way she treated him.

Only then did Lin Da understand the special place he held in Isa's heart.

The real moment that Lin Da caught Isa's attention was probably on the fifth level at the Green Plains. It was the first conflict between Ice Flower and Snow Goose, both sides fighting over a gigantic Slime, the "Wilderness Guardian."

That was the beginning of Lia and Isa's feud.

It also brought a healer whose level wasn't very high, but who could cast healing arts very quickly and commanded brilliantly, into Isa's view.

Isa thought it was time to put an end to this matter.

Just as she planned.

"Sorry."

Lin Da's face was filled with apology.

No miracle occurred.

It perfectly matched Isa's plan.

This was just fine.

It was enough.

Isa stared blankly at Lin Da.

At least let herself be selfish in the end.

Suddenly, Isa moved close to Lin Da, and under his shocked expression, with the peak Battle Qi of level 29, she held his face in her hands, nervously closed her eyes, and their lips met.

Lin Da was greatly shocked.

...

Due to the nature of her Ice Douqi, Isa's lips were very cold, like ice blocks.

Only upon close inspection could one find a trace of a young girl's warmth.

Isa was also very clumsy, like two leaves coming together, barely touching before disappearing in a flash.

When that sweet sensation faded, Lin Da saw Isa clutching her handbag, wiping her eyes as she ran off.

"Wait..."

When Lin Da stepped forward, his heart suddenly jolted.

It seemed as if a little angel with wings and a halo above its head flew out of his head, questioning him with a piercing gaze:

"Why are you chasing after her? Do you want to disappoint Lulu too?"

"Your team already has four members, isn't that enough? Are you still targeting girls from other teams? You truly don't deserve the title 'Eye of True Knowledge'; you're just an 'Ultimate Pervert'!"

"This..."

Lin Da's face burned with heat.

It was a bit much.

A man can be shameless, but not too shameless.

Watching Isa running off into the night, about to disappear into the crowd, he felt uncomfortable. Perhaps he had unknowingly been attracted to this elegant silver-haired swordsman, but since Isa had always appeared as a friend and he was not lacking in beautiful girls, he never realized it.

In the game, Isa was an NPC, a non-playable character, and Lin Da, who had traveled to this world, subconsciously thought that it was impossible to develop a romantic storyline.

But he was wrong.

Every 'NPC' here was a living person.

The Beastmen wanting to impregnate the Elves wasn't just a game setting, but a true expression of a lecherous old lech lusting after bodies.

The cause of Kam's cerebral palsy was Hulus's overprotectiveness.

Isa wasn't just a background in Novice Village to appear in players' landscape photos.

If being a pervert means being a pervert, even if it's rumored that I host silver parties every day, I don't care anymore," he decided.

He would figure something out with Lulu.

A hero tasked with the duty of saving the world having a few more beautiful girls than an average person should be understandable to his brothers.

Lin Da's conviction turned into a blade, and with a snap, he cut the small angel advising him to be good in half.

"You, you will not end up well..." the little angel wailed as it died.

Lin Da's magic circuit within him spun rapidly. He took two steps in place of three, dexterously maneuvering through the crowd.

Then, with a snap, he caught the silver-haired girl who was wiping away tears and trying to flee!
