"Three!" "Two!"
"I'm up!"
Just as Seryu was about to shout the final count, Lin Feng suddenly yelled.
There was a peculiar scent lingering in the room, which couldn't be discovered by certain people. Besides, he hadn't done anything wicked last night; he had merely been comforting a crying Hayasaka Ai. She's an emotional girl, and not comforting her properly might affect her performance in battle today. That's all it was!
"Lord God, the early bird catches the worm! If you keep sleeping in like this, you'll be late for the time to execute justice!"
Although Seryu currently prioritizes Lin Feng's justice, she still adheres to her own set of principles. Even the Lord God shouldn't keep sleeping until the sun hits his rear end; it's too lazy.
"I'm getting dressed. I'll be right out. You all wait for me in the living room first."
Lin Feng quickly made an excuse to send them away. I didn't take off my clothes last night, so there's no question of getting dressed.
After tidying up his room, Lin Feng checked for any oversight at the door before opening it and heading to the living room.
"Lord God, please have a seat here. I prepared breakfast today. See if it's to your liking."
As expected of the gentle and refined Yamato Nadeshiko, Saeko Busujima. Lin Feng, however, felt a sense of relief seeing that she was wearing regular clothes under her apron. She's very meticulous in every way, but in the aspect of fashion/clothing, she's somewhat of an airhead (confirmed).
Lin Feng then shifted his gaze to the food on the table: simple toasted bread slices, a fried egg, and two slices of grilled ham. Hayasaka Ai and the others, sitting around the table, were eating breakfast and chatting. However, Hayasaka Ai's gaze kept darting toward Lin Feng, as if observing something. But as soon as Lin Feng looked at her, Hayasaka Ai would quickly shift her eyes away and continue conversing with Megumi Katou and Seryu.
This left Lin Feng a bit confused. Could it be the same old thing—that she's shy? After being comforted until she fell asleep last night, when he carried her back to her room, she held tightly to his clothes and wouldn't let go, forcing him to return to his room with her.
"Saeko, the taste is excellent. You should sit down and eat breakfast too."
Lin Feng took two slices of bread, put the fried egg and ham in between, and took a bite as he spoke.
After breakfast, Lin Feng led everyone to the Adventurers' Guild. Although Lin Feng wasn't planning to enter the Dungeon, there was a new member who needed to register today. Also, there was Lili... she was trouble. She seemed to have realized that he was the Lord God of this Familia and that he was entering the Dungeon. It would be best to resolve this matter...
Swish!
"Miss Eina, we're back again!"
Lin Feng walked in and pushed open the door of the Adventurers' Guild, shouting into the empty hall.
"Hello, Lord Lin Feng! Is there anything I can help you with today?"
Eina, who was chatting with a colleague at the counter, quickly rushed over when she heard Lin Feng call her name.
"Ahem, we recruited another new member yesterday. Could you help us register her?"
Lin Feng cleared his throat. He felt a little embarrassed, as he had bothered Eina almost every day since arriving in this city. But he had no choice. Lin Feng pushed Saeko Busujima, who was standing behind him, forward and introduced her to Eina.
A tall figure gradually appeared before Eina. The moment she saw Saeko Busujima, only one thought filled her mind: Tall, beautiful, and a statuesque, cool beauty.
"Mmhmm, certainly. Please follow me to register. It will only take a few minutes."
Eina, a Guild employee, quickly composed herself. Having worked at the Orario Guild for several years, there was no type of adventurer she hadn't seen.
"Miss Busujima, the registration is complete. From now on, you can exchange your Magic Stones or materials here after adventuring in the Dungeon."
After a brief introduction to the basics, Eina escorted Saeko Busujima back to Lin Feng and the others.
"Thank you, Miss Eina."
Saeko Busujima bowed slightly toward Eina—a sign of respect.
"No, there's no need to be so polite. It's just my job."
Seeing Saeko Busujima's solemn gratitude, Eina nervously waved her hands. If only every adventurer I encountered was like Saeko Busujima... no, like Hayasaka Ai, then I wouldn't be so exhausted.
Soon, Lin Feng and his party said goodbye to Eina. As they walked outside the Adventurers' Guild, Lin Feng noticed that Lili hadn't shown up today, which made his head ache slightly.
"Saeko, I'm entrusting you with this Imperial Arm, 'Eight Fangs: March of the Dead.' I believe you will be able to make good use of this sword."
Currently, Lin Feng only had this one powerful Katana. It wasn't exactly compatible with Saeko Busujima, but it would have to do for now, as it would allow her to quickly increase her strength and catch up to Hayasaka Ai and the others.
"Thank you, Lord God. I will wield this exceptional Katana in your name and bring you continuous victories."
Saeko Busujima solemnly extended both hands and firmly accepted the Katana.
"'Eight Fangs'? I recall this Imperial Arm was supposed to be in the hands of someone in the Empire..."
Seryu muttered when she saw the sword.
"This is a replica, but its function is no different from the Imperial Arm you know."
Hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Seryu adopted an
"I thought so"
expression.
After transmitting the weapon's information to Saeko Busujima, Lin Feng allowed Hayasaka Ai and the others to head to the Dungeon first. Led by Hayasaka Ai, the group of five quickly arrived at the Dungeon entrance.
"Look, that small party seems to have a new member, and she's a tall, stunning beauty!"
"Damn, it's true! Why can't our Familia recruit girls like that? It's practically all men!"
Some adventurers could only cast envious glances upon seeing that Hayasaka Ai's party had gained another beautiful girl.
"Saeko, when we enter the Dungeon later, the monsters that appear will be for you to deal with first. We'll only help if you are in danger."
"Understood, Captain Ai! I will eliminate those enemies, especially with this extraordinary weapon given to me by the Lord God."
"Use it with caution. Don't casually resurrect useless corpses with this weapon; it will only decrease your strength."
Earlier on the way, Saeko Busujima had shared the basic information about the weapon with everyone to avoid causing alarm when she used its abilities later.
