Chapter 54: Suspected Harem Plus 2

Chapter 54: Suspected Harem Plus Two

As requested by Kermir, Anrahi immediately performed the summoning.

As usual, my luck was terrible; all three small monsters I summoned were goblins.

In a sense, they were quite lucky? Because the main employer was goblins.

However, so far, Anlashi has summoned a total of nine goblins three times, and he is not satisfied with any of them. Each time, he pretends to check them a few times and then shakes his head and says that they are not right, and that the goblins he needs are not like these.

But a goblin is a goblin, what's so special about it?

Anrashi wanted to direct these goblins to arrange various performances for the patron, but was refused each time. Anrashi was even more confused. This was practically his entire value. If it wasn't for the goblins or this, then what was it for?

So it was all for me, wasn't it?

Because of that strange elf Loya, Anlashi had a slightly bad impression of the so-called Raiye from the start. However, this Mr. Raiye... quickly restored her favorability with very violent but immediate methods.

Anlashi felt that it was no wonder she was weak-willed. Imagine someone who had been tricked into working illegally for five years and exploited by a heartless boss, and had long since resigned themselves to their fate and given up resisting, and then one day someone forcefully grabbed their hand, kicked away the huge rock that had been weighing on their head for five years, and then handed them the money they hadn't been able to save in five years of work. Anyone would be confused in that situation.

Thinking of the money he had just given her, Anlaxi was a little dazed. The last time she had seen this kind of money was about five years ago when a white-haired, purple-eyed stranger came to her door and was very generous. Unfortunately, Anlaxi did not take advantage of the opportunity. At that time, the circus was in its early stages and lacked funds. She thought she would help out and took the initiative to lend the money to the circus.

That's so stupid. If I could go back in time, I'd want to strangle that version of myself.

In short, Anlashi is now stunned by Lei Ye's kindness and is in a state of wanting to repay the favor, even if he is not sure why. She will give him a chance, even if he is really interested in her.

Of course, I'm just giving you a chance; I won't give it away for free.

When it comes to dating, you need to get to know each other.

Anlashi was in a state of confusion, but she remained calm, because Raiye seemed even more agitated, pacing anxiously around the room.

He glanced at his wristwatch every now and then, as if calculating the cooldown time of Anrashi's summoning skill.

What exactly are they trying to do?

Just then, a commotion arose outside. A group of people were shouting "Boss Lei!" and demanding that he come out. Already annoyed, Lei Ye pushed open the small door with a displeased look on his face. Anlaxi followed behind and peeked out. What he saw was a group of local explorers holding up small signs with large words like "Strong Protest" written on them.

"Boss Lei, hurry up and come out of the mountains! My weapons are worn out and almost unusable. I haven't been able to take on any commissions these past two days, and I'm starving!"

"Yeah... I understand you're not feeling well, but you always have to look forward..."

"Please, Mr. Raino, fix my Phantom Dragon, please."

Oh, so he's an engineer. Stable job and stable sales channels, not bad.

Looking at the items on the shelves outside, the well-informed Anlaxi nodded, giving "Rayno" an even higher rating.

As a guest, she couldn't interfere in what was happening outside, so she quietly sat back down in her seat and waited for Lei Ye to finish his business.

It took a lot of persuasion from Kermione to convince those people to leave.

To be honest, she was a little surprised. Although these people were noisy, it was clear that they respected Lei Ye quite a bit. She didn't expect Lei Ye to be so prestigious among the gods like Xierlius.

To be able to thrive so well in Hillius, he must be a god among gods.

While getting rid of these people, Kermira obtained two pieces of information from her conversation with them.

First, Raino possesses many powerful magical items.

If it's powerful enough to pose a threat to Cepolis, it will definitely come in handy in the battles to come. Besides, the compass and wristwatch he had earlier were already incredibly useful, so it's hard to imagine how useful the weapons in his inventory must be.

Secondly, the large ship in the storage bag is not actually a ship, but an airship.

With this, going to the scorched earth becomes very convenient.

Moreover, Kermir just now was considering taking Anrashi on a long trip to the place where she summoned the goblins to summon them again. If that didn't work, she was even prepared to search the goblin cave herself.

To be honest, Kermir really didn't want to go into the goblin cave. In the land of demi-humans, the time she swapped bodies with the explorer, the quest she accepted was to exterminate goblins, and she almost got herself killed inside.

Her immunity to control effects only applies to skills, but it doesn't protect her from the goblin's ice-cold attack.

However, with an airship, you can hover above the cave and let Anrahi keep summoning, making you 100% safe.

Therefore, no matter which direction you look at it from, she really needs to master these magical artifacts in Raiye's hands. She doesn't care about the people who just asked Raiye to come out of the mountains, so she doesn't need to learn how to make them, she only needs to learn how to use them.

Thinking of this, Kermione called Venus over.

"The master has arrived—ah...we actually have guests today?"

Anrahi and Venus quickly exchanged glances, one staring at the other's cute face and the other at the other's super figure, both somewhat surprised.

Kermir is now indifferent to desires and no longer cares about women, so she didn't bother explaining about Anrahi and went straight to Venus with her demands.

"I want information on magical items."

Venus was slightly puzzled upon hearing this.

However, he quickly felt relieved. Perhaps it was because his mother's comforting words last night had restored his spirits, and this was her way of telling him that she was willing to start working again.

This is a good thing.

"Yes, sir."

So she smiled and nodded, helped Kmeleon open the notebook, and then jogged away.

"I'll make tea for you and the guests!"

""Wow...""

As Venus ran away, Kermir and Anrahi, who had come closer, both let out quiet gasps.

The cutting-edge technology from another world dazzled the two local natives.

Unlike the cutting-edge technology of the African cotton era, this is a truly high-tech product. Kermiren fiddled with the mouse, watching the moving dots on it, his attention completely drawn to this novel gadget, forgetting even his previous purpose.

After clicking around, I finally clicked on the video that Lei Ye had dragged to the desktop, and then a video about Ye Lei that Lei Ye had edited popped up.

Kermione was once again shocked by the sophistication of the "Rayno Magic Item". She had lived for over a hundred years and knew several experts who were skilled in making magic items, but this was the first time she had ever seen something so amazing.

In addition, she felt that this silver-haired, purple-eyed woman looked somewhat familiar.

Beside him, Anlahi couldn't remain calm.

She stared intently at the face of the person in the image.

"It was her...it was you...so early..."

She recognized her at a glance; it was the same girl who had come to see her five years ago.

"Mr. Raino, what is your relationship with this person?"

"Probably," Kermione wasn't sure either, but judging from the intimacy between the two people in the picture, she guessed that this person must be "my deceased wife."

I'd always heard that Lei Ye's wife had died; it turns out it was this person, it turns out it was her.

They matched up again.

It must have been from that time that Raino started paying attention to her.

Although Anrashi had no memory of Lei Ye, Lei Ye must have been secretly observing him from nearby.

Otherwise, why would his wife have inexplicably come looking for him back then, saying strange things like not to compete with her for a man in the future?

It matched perfectly!

The thought that during all the years of hardship she endured, there was a reliable man who secretly loved her and kept an eye on her was comforting to Anlashi.

What's more, this man rescued her; he's her hero.

Why did she only show up now? She had been in great pain before, but Raino didn't help her then.

My deceased wife... Ah!

Anlahi came to a realization.

After that, Lei Ye's wife must have forbidden him from getting close to her again, which is why he only ever spied on her without actually approaching her.

Now that his wife is dead, he has finally released the emotions hidden deep within his heart.

Could it really be like what that Loya said? Wouldn't this count as cheating?

But that's not entirely true. The mine owner's father also had six wives, but because he treated them all very well, no one ever questioned him.

Mr. Raino is a good person, and he secretly protected her (not really) for at least five years. His true feelings during this time are truly touching.

Besides, it's permitted by law.

So this is permitted...right?

She sat blankly on the floor by the bed, looking somewhat lost. Having been single for over twenty years, she had never imagined that there was a man in her life who had been secretly infatuated with her (not really). Faced with this feeling, she was at a loss.

Kermione didn't notice the guy behind her who was busy trying to seduce her. She kept clicking around and launching a bunch of random apps until an app called "Writer's Assistant" opened, which surprised her and made her stop.

"...story?"

Almost all evil beings, upon being born into this world, first acquire knowledge through books.

But those dry words were too boring, so when Kmeleon was studying, he would always secretly slip a storybook into his books and read a chapter during breaks in his studies as a reward for his hard work.

Her favorite stories are those of heroes.

At that time, she was young and naively thought that the person who wrote these stories must be the protagonist who had experienced them. However, she later spent a lot of effort to find the author of the book and discovered that he was just an ordinary person.

Nevertheless, she was still grateful for the wonderful fantasies this person had given her.

But later, when that epic tale was banned from the Great Library, she could no longer see similar stories.

What interesting story will Raino write?

Filled with curiosity and anticipation, Kermione took a deep breath and began reading from the first chapter.

She was instantly captivated at first sight.

Even as Anrahi called her name from behind after her cooldown ended, Kermira didn't pay attention; she seemed to be in another world.

In another world, she witnessed the protagonist's first battle.

The encounter and falling in love with the female lead.

Together, we will challenge dragons and even evil gods.

Some parts felt awkward because she clearly sensed that certain characters were about to die, but then she was lively and energetic again in the next chapter. However, putting those details aside, the story was extremely entertaining for Kermione.

So much so that after reading it, she even felt a little empty.

It's as if those people are still adventuring in another world, but she can no longer see them. She's the one who's left the group, leaving that story behind.

Thinking about the tasks I've been doing makes me feel even more empty.

"How boring..."

Fortunately, she soon discovered that there was a second volume to this story, which perfectly continued the story of the first volume.

Equally wonderful.

Although there were occasional plot points that puzzled her—for example, she couldn't understand why so much detail was devoted to describing the heroine and her mother washing their feet, even going so far as to describe the shape of their toes—and she also didn't understand why the protagonist wasn't particularly upset after drinking the chrysanthemum tea, overall it was a wonderful journey. Kermione was completely absorbed in it, reading until sunset before she finished the last word.

She wasn't sure if she had finished watching it, because the plot abruptly ended there, as if it had suddenly stopped.

"Damn it, how could it break like that..."

Kermir got up, wobbled to the bedside, surrendered his body to the soft mattress, slumped on it, and squinted his eyes, savoring the mental adventure he had just experienced.

She hadn't read such an interesting story for many, many years since she read that heroic tale.

Only the owner of this body could give her such an experience...

She suddenly regretted it, regretting why she had come to this city so impulsively. She had seized the opportunity and hastily swapped bodies with Raino. If she had observed him first, as usual, and then approached him in a different way, perhaps they would have become friends. In that case, she would have had the chance to chat with the author about the plot she had just read.

But now, Kermir is only empty.

"I actually turned him into a goblin, damn it!"

"Mr. Raino, are you done with your work? I've made up my mind. I really can't accept your money. Please take these back. As for your... uh... pursuit of me, please give me some time to consider, or rather, give us some time to get to know each other. Let's take it slow... I think there's a possibility between us."

A soft voice came from beside him.

Although she didn't know what had happened while she was reading, this guy gave Kermione a different feeling; she felt a bit more girlish shyness.

What the hell?

Kermione had no such intention at all. Moreover, seeing that this person had some ulterior motives towards Lei Ye, she was surprised to find herself somewhat displeased. So she simply displayed the fluorescent blue portal to show her refusal.

"Why isn't it there?"

Anlashi was stunned. "Awesome."

Kemiron subtly moved to a spot further away from her, put on his pants, and his feelings were complicated.

"Teacher Kuang Xiaolei, I'm your female fan..."

L
