Chapter 744 The Elf Girl Who Made One Wrong Step After Another, the Elf Girl Who Lived the Script of a Conquer Game Protagonist
"Hey, we don't think we ordered this dish. Did you serve the wrong dish?"
At noon, the bountiful hostess tavern became lively. Suddenly, a group of guests pointed to the stew on the table in front of them and said loudly.
"Wrong dish served? How could that be?"
The catgirl Anya happened to be nearby. She turned to look at the person who spoke and saw that he was a burly male adventurer. Her eyes became somewhat suspicious.
In a pub where the waitresses are all very attractive, there will always be some clueless scoundrels who will try to cause trouble and take advantage of the situation.
Clearly, the catgirl Anya didn't think that the restaurant, where everyone except Seele was at level 4, would make such a basic mistake as serving the wrong dishes to customers.
"Ah, does your tavern intend to force customers to order food we didn't order?!"
Upon seeing the catgirl roll up her sleeves, knowing that the shop assistants were all incredibly skilled adventurers, he immediately became somewhat flustered.
Just as he was thinking about whether it was wise to accept defeat out of necessity, the young woman who ran the signboard quickly came over.
After clarifying the situation and checking the other party's order menu, Seele found that the other party was not causing trouble, and then said to the catgirl, "Anya, go and serve the other guests. I'll handle this."
"I'm sorry, it was indeed our mistake."
"And this stew..."
"Of course you don't need to pay the bill, consider it a complimentary treat from our tavern for you and your companions."
"I'm not an unreasonable person, it's just that the food here is really not cheap..."
"I understand, I am truly sorry. We will have some fine fruit wine to serve later, please forgive our mistake."
With apologies, waivers of the extra food charges, and even complimentary fruit wine, the unpleasantness was quickly averted.
Seele is quite capable as the tavern's mascot, and her ability to handle any unexpected events that might occur in the tavern is also quite good.
She quickly checked the food distribution to make sure there were no other tables of guests who had been missed or served the wrong dishes.
After quickly resolving the issue of serving the food, the girl went to the part of the process that had caused the problem.
"Ryu, what's wrong? You seem distracted?"
The girl on the signboard walked over to the elf who had finished serving the customers, and stopped her to talk to her as she walked into the kitchen.
"Ah, Seele?!"
Ryu reacted like a frightened animal, instinctively looking away after meeting the slightly concerned gaze of the signboard girl.
"I'm fine, why do you ask?"
"Nothing wrong? But you just served the wrong dishes to the guests."
"Oh, sorry, mine, I'll take care of it right away."
"No need, I've already taken care of it for you. I stopped you not to hold you accountable, but Ryu, something seems off about you, and I wanted to know what happened."
The mascot girl expressed her concern.
Liu opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain the situation.
She couldn't very well say that last time Broly saw her naked, and this time he touched her body.
Although seeing someone naked last time was an accident, touching someone's body this time was a mistake I made myself.
This close contact left her feeling uneasy after she returned, as she felt guilty towards her friend.
"I'm fine. It's probably because Professor Broly taught me how to use a kind of comprehensive energy called Qi this morning. I overused my Qi, which caused a kind of mental exhaustion. I'm probably just a little tired."
After a moment of silence, Ryu explained it to her friend in this way.
"So that's how it is..."
Seele sensed the elf's insincerity but didn't press the matter further.
"Then you go and rest. I'll take care of things at the tavern at noon."
"Oh no, how can you do that?"
"Why not? You're willing to stay at the Hearth House to help me, so what's wrong with me doing some work for you, Ryu?"
Seele smiled gently at the elf.
"Liu seems to be a little tired because she used up too much energy this morning, so I asked her to come over here to rest."
After taking off the work apron from the elf, the mascot girl pushed the elf over to Broly's table, pressed the elf into a chair, and then explained to the Saiyan boy.
"Hey, is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Broly was taken aback. When he came to his senses, he quickly jumped off the chair, walked briskly to the elf's side, and before she could react, he took her hand that was on the table.
"Oh, Mr. Broly, what are you doing?"
Ryu was taken aback when her hand was held. When she realized that her friend was right next to her and that the Saiyan boy was holding her hand so intimately, she immediately gasped and subconsciously tried to pull her hand away.
"Ryu, don't move, I'll transfer some energy to you."
However, Broly's current ability stats completely surpass hers. Not only was Ryu unable to pull her hand away, but Broly also grabbed her hand with his fingers intertwined to prevent her from leaving.
A warm, invigorating energy flowed from Broly's palm, like drinking a stamina-restoring potion when you're exhausted—it felt wonderful.
But Ryu started fidgeting in her chair, looking restless.
After realizing that pulling her hand away only made the boy in front of her grip her hand even tighter, Ryu had no choice but to give up trying to pull her hand away.
She cautiously glanced at her friend's expression, while Seele, after a slight surprise, looked at their clasped hands with a smile, seemingly unconcerned and indifferent.
Seeing this, Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alright, Mr. Broly, I've recovered. You can let go of my hand now."
After shaking hands for about half a minute, with her face still slightly flushed, Ryu spoke to the Saiyan boy in a calm voice.
"If you still feel tired, remember to tell me."
Broly released the elf's somewhat slender hand. People blessed by the gods, if they pay attention to maintenance after training, do not seem to develop calluses on their hands. Whether it is Ryu or Ais, their hands are slender and smooth.
"Yes, Miss Ais and Miss Tiona, the same goes for you."
Broly then turned to the other two girls and spoke.
"Not tired."
Ais answered calmly.
"I'm not that weak."
Tiona said with a smile.
The two people were in a normal situation. Even though they used a lot of qi when they practiced qi in the morning, they did not need to be transferred qi.
As for Ryu, all we can say is that she made one wrong step, and then one wrong step after another. She made up a lie as an excuse, and then she needed more lies to cover it up.
Being touched on the body is like this, and now being held in public and having one's breath transmitted is also like this.
"Ryu, why are you calling Broly 'Mr.' again? Didn't we agree to get closer to him and call each other by our first names from now on?"
At this point, Seele said...
"I...I forgot..."
Just then, the little giant's indignant urging came from the tavern's kitchen.
"Ah, I'm recovered. Let's get back to work."
The green-haired elf quickly stood up, took her work apron back from her friend, tied it back on, and ran to the kitchen.
"Broly, Ryu seems a little shy, but things aren't too bad yet. I'll continue to help her get used to calling you by your name. Keep up the good work, and make the most of this opportunity I've created for you!"
After saying this to the Saiyan boy with a smile, Seele turned around and left to do her job as a waitress at the tavern.
“Mr. Broly…”
"Ok?"
"What did Miss Seele mean by what she just said?"
The swordswoman stopped eating, looked in Broly's direction, and asked.
“Liu had some terrible experiences in her life, and Seele asked me to help her find happiness in the future, which is exactly what I want to do.”
Broly explained.
"happiness……"
Ais repeated it to herself, but before she could think about it, Tiona asked, "Ryu has had a terrible life experience, Broly, can you tell me what it is?"
Broly thought for a moment and then replied, "I don't actually know very much about it either, I can only give you a general description of Ryu's experience."
With the two girls looking over, Broly told them the story about Ryu that Seele had told him before.
Of course, it's a more simplified version, mainly describing how an elf lost an important companion in a trap set by villains, and then sought revenge for her dead companion. "Seele said that Ryu had already avenged herself, but the past of losing her companion still left an unhealable scar on her heart."
"Ah, she actually has such a heavy past?"
Unlike the loud and boisterous Tiona, Ais did not express her opinion.
She just felt that the elf lady was somewhat similar to her past.
The only difference is that the other party has already avenged someone important to them, while I haven't.
[But if I succeed in taking my revenge, will I end up like Miss Ryu after I've done so...?]
Ais paused for a moment, trying to recall her impressions of the tavern elf, but found that she didn't have much of an impression of him.
Even though she had seen the other woman before when she ate at the hostess’s place, she didn’t have much interaction with her before receiving swordsmanship instruction from Broly, until they started practicing swordsmanship together.
At that time, Ryu didn't feel too heavy to her. On the contrary, her sword was very light, as if it belonged to a different kind of wind than her own, which was capable of wind magic.
"I will also help make Miss Ryu happy."
Ais couldn't imagine what an unhappy elf would look like, but she still said it seriously.
"I will help too."
Tiona quickly echoed and followed suit.
"Thanks."
Broly thanked them, feeling comforted by the harmony in their relationship.
"Also, could you please address me by my first name from now on, without adding titles like 'Miss' or 'Mr'?"
"Eh?"
"I also want our relationship to become better and closer."
Ais explained.
She didn't understand the behavior of liking someone; she just subconsciously wanted to get the same result from Broly after learning that calling someone by their first name could make the relationship better and closer.
"Ah, me too, Broly, you can just call me by my name."
Tiona followed up again.
"However, I think I'm already calling you by your name directly."
The Amazonian girl, who was naturally outgoing, suddenly realized that she seemed to have a low sense of boundaries.
. . . .
"Ryu, what did it feel like to shake hands with that kid Broly?"
"Ah, Seele, it wasn't what I wanted to do. Broly came over and shook my hand. I just couldn't pull my hand away."
"Ryu, you don't need to explain, just tell me how you feel."
"Uh, his hands are small, and warm."
"Is it comfortable to be led around like this?"
"……,Comfortable."
"That's good."
"Eh?!"
“What I mean is, it makes me feel at ease that you like Broly as much as I do.”
"Ah, I don't have any liking for anything."
"Is that so? But I remember you, Ryu, are a germaphobe. If anyone other than people you know touch you, it will make you feel uncomfortable. There have been quite a few customers who were thrown over your shoulder by you."
“I don’t know what’s going on either, but it might be because he taught me swordsmanship. Seele, I can swear to you that I have absolutely no strange thoughts about Broly, such as taking what my friend has.”
"Well, Ryu, don't be so nervous."
Freya can confirm the truth of what the elf said.
"However, if it's Ryu, I'm willing to share someone I like with you~"
In the tavern's changing room after dinner, the signboard girl leaned close to the elf's pointed ear and whispered these words.
"Oh, how can you do that? Liking someone should be a private matter. How can you just share the person you like with other people?"
"Uh, I was just joking, Ryu, did you really think about it..."
Liu: “…”
That's the downside of having a good friend; beneath her innocent appearance lies a somewhat cunning personality. She often teases others like a little devil.
"Ryu, don't be angry. Weren't you moving your luggage to the Fireplace? I'll cover your shift tonight. Remember to keep a close eye on Broly and Sword Princess for me."
Liu sighed, looking helpless, as if she really took what Seele had just said as a joke.
"I'll keep a close eye on things for you, but don't joke around with me like that again."
"it is good."
The girl on the signboard agreed, but as she followed Ryu out of the changing room, she muttered to herself.
[It seems quite difficult to get Ryu, whose germaphobia is worse than other elves, to accept being part of a harem~]
“Miss Ryu, from now on, you can just call me Ais, and I will call you by your name.”
"Eh?!"
"I want our relationship to get better, is that okay?"
"And me, you can just call me Tiona."
Liu: “…”
Seele looked at Broly, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
They seemed puzzled as to why the swordswoman and the others were taking the initiative to get closer to Ryū.
How did the boy do that?
but……
This situation seems quite good. Freya Shirley only thought for a moment before coming to the elf's side: "Ryu, this is wonderful! You have someone else by your side who is willing to become closer to you~"
. . . .
"Thank you for your guidance, Miss Phil Weiss. Your guidance has been very helpful, and I have completely mastered the technique of parallel chanting."
In the evening, after finishing her parallel chanting training in the upper part of the dungeon, Lefia bowed to the white witch beside her as she walked out of the dungeon to express her gratitude.
"You have benefited a lot simply because you have a strong learning ability. As for mastering parallel chanting, that's because you were already on the verge of mastering it."
"Yes, Mr. Broly was right to train your fighting mentality. Your ability to master parallel chanting is largely due to me; I merely played a crucial role in breaking through the final barrier. The person you should truly thank is Mr. Broly."
Philwiss waved her hand and said that she felt she hadn't contributed much to Raphia's mastery of parallel chanting.
"I will thank Mr. Broly properly again when I get back."
Lefia nodded.
"Then, I'll be leaving first."
The White Witch prepares to part ways with the Elf Girl.
"Miss Phil Weiss..."
But Rafia called out to her.
"Ok?"
Phil Weiss turned around.
"I've teamed up with you. We're going to run the dungeon together this afternoon, right?"
"Lefia asked."
"Ah."
The white witch nodded subconsciously, unsure of what the elven girl wanted to say.
“So, I am still alive now, and I have once again proved with facts that you are definitely not some kind of harbinger of death, Miss Philweis!”
Phil Weiss: "?!"
On the street at dusk, the female elf with her back to the setting sun was in shadow, while the elven girl facing her was bathed in the sunlight.
Lefia's body felt as if it were draped in a warm-toned sun-drenched coat, and her unexpected words of comfort and the smile on her face that seemed to seek her approval were like a ray of warm winter sun, inflicting a highly penetrating healing wound on Philweis.
