Yin Xiuer exhaled, glanced at Yaya, coughed lightly, and said with a slightly flushed face:
"She said last time that she quite liked it, so we don't need to worry about her..."
"No way! What have you all done?! Yaya, how did you turn Gintoki into a sadist?!"
Latis stared in disbelief at Yaya, then at Yinxiuer who was covering her face, and couldn't help but take a step back, muttering:
"Respect, blessings..."
"I don't have that kind of fetish!" Silversher couldn't help but mutter in protest. She looked at Latis's face, hesitated for a moment, then stood up, slightly bent her knees, and bowed her head, saying:
"Little La, I'm here to apologize. I misunderstood you before, not only criticizing your approach to the spell, but also saying things that hurt your feelings. Yes, it was my fault, I'm sorry..."
Her body trembled with nervousness. She took a double hourglass-shaped antique from her small bag, glanced at it longingly, and then stuffed it into Latis's arms, explaining softly:
"This is an ancient elven relic I collected before. It's said to have many magical functions. Although I haven't been able to figure them out yet, I believe that in your hands it won't be as stifling as it was with me..."
SilverShull cautiously raised his head and asked:
"So, can you forgive me, teacher? I will study your techniques and introduction carefully. I've also followed you, so I'll be able to receive your updates as soon as they're released!"
Latis, who had initially found Silver's behavior cute and amusing and wanted to comfort her, was immediately horrified upon hearing this and shouted:
"Teacher Yin, please, please don't read the pornographic content I wrote!"
Chapter 137 Ears, Lips, and Tongue
"This is a sensor device of the Herod race. Although it looks like a cross-shaped hourglass, it is actually placed horizontally rather than vertically... like this. After activation, it can determine the location of the nearest elven camp by observing the distribution of the sand."
Artemis looked at the hourglass that had glowed green for a moment before falling silent, shook her head regretfully, and said:
"It seems there are no remaining elven camps near Lundia, at least. Lord Silvershur, you should take this item back; it's too valuable... It's so well-preserved, you must have paid a high price to obtain it, right?"
"It's...it's alright!" Silver Hugh, his eyes fixed on Atelier's pointed ears, snapped out of his reverie and stammered:
“The club at No. 11 Tianhai Street occasionally holds antique auctions. In order to prevent these precious cultural relics from being damaged by being constantly passed around in the hands of those greedy businessmen, I will buy them whenever I can.”
She looked on with a reminiscing expression and said:
"This hourglass was damaged at the time, so it only cost me five hundred gold whites when I bought it. Later, I repaired it little by little based on the historical materials I found."
"That's amazing!" the half-elf exclaimed in surprise. "To be able to repair it to this extent, Lord Silverhull truly deserves to be called a learned researcher!"
“No, no…” Silver Hugh shook his head haphazardly and said in a low voice:
"My Lord Herod, my mage tower contains many ancient artifacts that I don't know how to restore. If you have time in the future, would you be willing to come and give me some guidance?"
"certainly……"
……
"So expensive!"
Latis glanced at the two girls chatting and couldn't help but think to himself:
"No wonder you're so poor, Teacher Yin! One of your collectibles is worth hundreds of gold coins. No wonder you can't save any money even working three jobs!"
He shook his head. Seeing that the plant guardian had already set up the stove and grill, he stood up, walked to the long table in the courtyard, and rang the bell.
jingle!
The girls in the courtyard immediately focused their attention on Latis, who was sitting in the center of the long table.
Being watched by so many people, Latis felt not embarrassed at all, but instead felt like a winner in life. He laughed and his gaze swept over Arte and Teacher Yin, Fryco who was awakened by the bell, Yashutia who was making a chibi bear with wool, Yaya who was still playing with tentacles after being put down by Teacher Yin, Serphar who was drooling on the ropes binding him, and Robin who was carrying raw meat to the fire. For some reason, he suddenly had the feeling of wanting time to stand still at this moment.
"We're still missing Jennifer and Princess Slinger... Tina could come if she wants, and Miss Mitu is an old flame, so she could join too. Oh, and there's this dwarf shopkeeper, what's her name again? Never mind... I don't know her well, but I don't mind..."
Girls from other dimensions suddenly flashed into his mind, and he continued to think:
"Thinking about it this way, if the other dimensions are real, those girls will definitely join my bed... ugh, I mean the party girls. I'll see her again next time. Thursday and Future, I wonder if they'll still remember their master after they become gods?"
"And then there's Pallasmum, Nyannubis... Wow, the taste of a master-disciple relationship is really good! As for Chongchong and Cancan, we didn't have time to cultivate a relationship before, maybe there will be another chance in the future..."
"Damn it, Latis, calling you a pervert is an understatement..."
The throbbing pain in his kidneys brought him back to his senses. He looked at the half-elf who was holding his face and gazing at him with trusting eyes, and chuckled.
"Today, we gather here..."
As the abstract phrases from the simulated text, mimicking the formulaic writing of Tiny Times, flashed through his mind, Latis couldn't help but chuckle. However, looking at the girls' sincere eyes, he suddenly didn't want to speak too frivolously.
"...It's because everyone has some kind of connection with me, Latis, to varying degrees!" Latis thought for a moment and continued:
"Although I don't know how deep or shallow our fate will be in the future, I, La, will definitely not mistreat anyone in the process of getting along with everyone!"
"I don't expect everyone to trust me completely, but you'll never feel any dark or sinister atmosphere around me, haha, because my greatest strength is blending in with the masses! Ahem, let's not get into that now..."
"In short, I don't know which deity has blessed me to gain everyone's recognition and love like this today. If I knew, I would definitely go and properly worship that deity, but I don't know, so I simply want to sincerely give back to everyone all the love I feel!"
He grinned, raised the enormous mug of ale, downed it in one gulp, and shouted:
"Dear readers and friends, whether you are just passing by for a bite or have come specifically to listen to my storytelling, I love you all!"
……
"What kind of toast is that?!"
Silversher stared at Latis in shock. Although she didn't know why his words were so strange, a quick glance around the room made her seem to understand something.
"Did I come at the wrong time...?"
She hesitated for a moment, sighed, picked up the wine glass on the table, poured herself a glass of milk, and took a small sip.
"Alright, Little La didn't do anything wrong. I'll keep an eye on things a little longer..."
Suddenly, she noticed Ye Ye frantically scribbling and drawing in the corner, so she curiously went over and asked:
"Ye Ye, what are you secretly drawing?"
Startled every night, she quickly covered the drawing board with her head. Only when she saw it was Teacher Yin did she breathe a sigh of relief and whisper:
"Teacher, take a quick look, but don't shoot."
"Where did this child learn such strange talk?"
Yin Xiu couldn't help but mutter a complaint in his mind as he leaned closer to Ye Ye's drawing board.
On the tablet, a few strokes depicted Latis's confident demeanor as he spoke eloquently, and the half-elf beside him, cupping his cheeks and gazing at him with affection.
"This is such a tough choice!" Yaya muttered as she drew the half-elf with long hair. "Is the pairing of Teacher Yin and Latis better, or is the pairing of his mentor and his partner better?"
"Hey!" Yin Xiuer finally couldn't help but flick Ye Ye's forehead. Seeing Ye Ye crying with her head in her hands, she unconsciously raised her face and hummed softly, clapped her hands and returned to the dining table.
Glancing at Serfar, who was gaping and trying to suck the skewers into his stomach, SilverShuffle straightened his clothes slightly. Then he saw Latis solemnly raise a skewer and shout:
"Homage to Tomorrow!"
The crowd paused for a few seconds, then scattered around, they also raised their skewers and started shouting in a chaotic manner.
"Homage to Tomorrow!"
To freedom!
Respect for life!
"Hope!"
……
Yin Xiu looked helplessly at the group of people shouting and joking around as if they were fooling around together. After thinking for a moment, she picked up the small cookie in front of her and said in a low voice:
"Respect life!"
Just before she said that, everyone else had stopped talking after they had finished.
Under everyone's gaze, Yin Xiuer suddenly trembled, subconsciously touched her two ponytails tied into two loops, whimpered, and shrank into the chair.
Latis paused, exchanged a glance with the half-elf, and, with her gentle nod, stood up and laughed heartily:
"Respect life!"
……
……
Puffing...
Puff puff puff! Puff!
Latis sighed and tossed aside the leaf he had blown to pieces, muttering:
"I'm really surprised. Is the flute really that hard to play? Does that mean I'm the lowest and least classy of all the transmigrators?"
Undeterred, he plucked another leaf from the tree, blew on it fiercely, and shredded it into pieces.
"Damn it... I'll try again!"
Just as Latis picked up a new leaf, a prompt for the flight spell suddenly appeared before his eyes. Immediately afterward, a slender figure wearing a hooded robe landed in front of him.
"Arte!" He swallowed the leaf in his mouth, wrapped his arms around the half-elf's waist, and sat on the treetop, asking:
"Why are you here too?"
"Big brother, be careful!" The half-elf instinctively summoned a plant guardian. Seeing that Latis hadn't fallen from the tree, he breathed a sigh of relief and nuzzled Latis's face, saying:
“It’s late, and everyone has left the table and gone back to their rooms to rest. I thought you were still alone outside, so I came to find you.”
"I see." Latis sensed the shining true name in his consciousness and subconsciously stroked it.
"Ugh!" The half-elf's body went limp, her hands that had been supporting her on Latis suddenly slipped, and she fell into his arms, asking in a slightly bewildered tone:
"Big brother, what's wrong...?"
"It's nothing! I just wanted to tease you for no reason!" Latis chuckled, ruffling the half-elf's silver hair.
Ateliers blinked her diamond-like eyes, waiting for Latis to finish rubbing her hair before obediently asking:
Did your mood improve after you massaged me, brother?
"Huh?" Latis scratched his head and asked in a pretentious manner, "Why do you say that, little brother?"
“Look.” Ate peeked out from his arms, glanced at the dozens of rotten leaves under the tree, and said with a smile:
"Big brother, if you have any troubles, you can come to me. You don't have to vent to Ye Zi, okay?"
"Hey, that sounds a bit odd!" Latis couldn't help but glance at the half-elf's soft lips, his mind wandering for a moment, before saying:
