After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Even if she couldn't make up for anything.

This was just Lia's one-sided wish: Since this young lady has made a mistake, then she should apologize to you, otherwise, thinking about this matter at night and getting no sleep would be terrible.

"Turn around." Lin Da raised the needle and thread in his hand.

"Oh..."

Lia turned around and leaned against the wall.

Lin Da began to work behind her.

It had to be said, Lia's skin was quite fair, and she was quite slim, her evening gown revealed most of her back, allowing Lin Da to have a very clear view of the girl's slender figure.

Another World was really too magical.

Lin Da sighed in his heart, such a small person could swing a greatsword, and a high-output one at that; in reality, she probably couldn't even twist off a bottle cap.

"Hurry up, isn't it done yet?"

Lia looked anxiously to the left and right, only after Lin Da began did she realize this posture could easily be misunderstood.

In the corridor, there were voice-activated Magic Guide Lamps, and when no one passed by, the light was dim. If the guests from the main hall came out and looked this way...

They would see, vaguely, Lin Da leaning close behind her, moving.

It would definitely be misunderstood as something indecent!

"This is my first time too, so my technique might be a bit clumsy," Lin Da said irritably from behind.

"Wait, it seems like someone is coming!"

Lia, who seemed to have the ears of a large-eared cat, was aware of any slight rustle around her. She peered toward the entrance of the main hall, her muscles tensed, her voice trembled, "Oh no, oh no, someone's coming this way!"

"What do we do, we're finished if we're seen!"

Stuttering, Lia subconsciously took out her greatsword from the Space Ring, ready to knock out any witnesses.

"Come here."

Lin Da, unwilling to let Lia hurt someone at the party, grabbed her wrist and, with a swift move... entered the men's restroom.

Inside were a series of stall-like partitions, the restroom on this third floor was mainly for the use of guests and was made public.

The space inside was cramped, and with two people, it felt a bit crowded.

Lin Da sat Lia down on the toilet, covered her mouth, and listened to the noise outside:

"Lord Abner is so handsome!"

"Yeah, yeah, I even toasted him, but he seems to only drink juice."

"Gale isn't bad either, right? His personality may be problematic, but after all, he's Star Rank."

The voices of a pair of female adventurers entered the women's restroom next door, then faded away.

Lia's eyes, however, were as wide as copper bells: hiding here would only make the situation worse, won't it?

Noticing what Lia was thinking, Lin Da slowly let go of her and said, "It's no big deal, wait until no one's outside, then you can sneak out."

"What if we are discovered?"

"You can say you're an idiot who mistook the men's restroom for the women's."

"..."

Speechless, Lia said, "Only you see me as an idiot; actually, I'm not dumb at all."

Lin Da didn't argue about this, he pressed on Lia's neck, "Lean down a bit, it's hard to sew like this."

"...Oh."

Lia hesitated slightly, then leaned forward to make it easier for Lin Da to work behind her.

In such a cramped space, Lia was worried about being discovered by others on one hand, but on the other hand, she felt the familiar breath behind her, her heartbeat quickened considerably, and her clenched fist was slightly sweaty.

If it were another man, Lia certainly wouldn't have followed him into such a place, let alone trust him with her back, who knows if he might become lascivious and do something terrible to her!

But as for Lin Da, Lia was quite at ease. Whether it was fighting Magical Creatures or now, she trusted that Lin Da would not harm her, even after her repulsive behavior caused Lin Da to leave the team.

This trust was far greater than for Oru and Phyllis. Lia thought to herself, if it were those two, daring to pull her into the men's restroom, she probably would have taken out her greatsword and sent those two flying long ago.

After the two adventurers in the women's restroom next door left, the surroundings fell completely quiet, so quiet that Lia could only hear her heartbeat and the sound of Lin Da mending clothes.

The scene felt familiar. Lia was in a daze but remembered the rustling sound of turning pages—she was striving hard in her practice, while Lin Da flipped through books thicker than bricks. Whether in that small rented room, or in Snow Goose's villa, the two did their own things with little communication.

Even if there was, it was just uninformative talk like "It's time to eat" or "Go pay the magic energy cost for the room."

That kind of peaceful time when they each did their own thing, and the times when Lin Xi played tricks on her, Lia used to disregard or find annoying...

But now she realized, without those moments, the colorful life of adventure turned black and white.

Lia always focused on moving forward, grasping every second to enhance her Battle Qi, without ever paying attention to the present.

By the time she came to her senses, those things were already gone like bubbles.

Lia's fists slowly clenched tighter, her voice very soft, as if worried about breaking the rare silence, "How did it become like this?"

The two who had once created the Snow Goose Adventure Team had become so estranged that they needed to bring gifts to each other's promotion parties, receiving only a stiff thanks.

If she had another chance...

She would never let that Lin Da of that night go.

Biting her teeth, Lia closed her eyes and said with a resignation, "Lin Da, do you realize, that night, I never intended to make you leave the team."

"Even then, when you were just a 15-level Healer, I had no intention of kicking you out."

"Phyllis's profile... was just to scare you!"

Lia's eyes were reddish. But after speaking out, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the burden she carried on her back had lessened a little.
