Shichen and Huihui recognized her at a glance—Cecily, who had given them ten million yesterday.

“Is that Miss Cecily?” Youyou also came over.

Shi Chen glanced at Youyou, but his attention was drawn to the large fruit in front of her. It was all Darkness's fault; he hadn't calmed down yet.

He held Huihui in his arms, and then took Youyou's hand with one hand.

Youyou immediately panicked. She nervously looked at Huihui and found that she wasn't looking in her direction. She breathed a sigh of relief and then glared at Shichen coquettishly.

Shi Chen smiled back and even squeezed her hand.

Youyou's cheeks flushed, but she didn't struggle.

“Cecily… what is she doing?” Huihui was still noticing Cecily running away outside the window.

"It's obvious."

Shi Chen rested his chin on Hui Hui's head: "From the group that just chased her, we know that Cecily smashed the windows of the Church of Eris with a stone."

Why did she do that?

"Do we need to say more about the followers of the Axis religion?"

"All right......"

Eris is considered the state religion, and the followers of the Axis religion are all rather eccentric. It's perfectly normal for them to be jealous of the Eris religion and act irrationally.

This has even become common knowledge in this world.

Ignoring her, Shi Chen released Youyou's hand, picked up Huihui and sat down again, placing her on his lap.

Huihui is so tiny, she's perfect as a pillow.

Huihui sat obediently on his lap without any reaction.

"Youyou, why is your face red?" Huihui noticed that something was wrong with Youyou.

"Huh? Is there...?"

Youyou panicked for a moment and raised her hand to touch her face: "It's...it's probably too hot."

"Hot? How could it be hot this time of year, especially on a rainy day? That's suspicious." Huihui stared at Youyou with suspicion.

"Don't, don't worry about me!"

Youyou turned her head away and changed the subject, saying, "You haven't fully recovered yet, have you? You should rest properly."

"Oh? You're in such a hurry for me to rest? You really want to spend some time alone with Shichen, right?"

"Where, where is it..." Youyou didn't dare to look at her.

"Hmph~ I can't believe you'd forget your friends for a pretty face! I don't care anymore, you're not getting your way! Want some alone time? No way! You have to take me with you!"

As Huihui spoke, she held Shichen's hands and wrapped them around her stomach.

Huihui is petite, and her waist is so thin that Shichen could almost wrap his hand around it.

However, how could one enjoy something with only one hand when both hands could do it? Shi Chen hugged Hui Hui tightly, holding her close in his arms.

"Eh—" Faced with Huihui's spoiled and willful behavior, Youyou was a little at a loss, and she looked to Shichen for help.

"What does it matter?" Shi Chen smiled. "Since Huihui wants to come along, let's bring her along. Anyway, we're not doing anything shameful."

"Yes, that's true."

"Really?" Huihui was a little skeptical.

"Why don't you just follow along and you'll find out?"

"Hmph~ If I follow you, what else do you think you'll do?"

"Are you kidding? If I wanted to do something, would I be afraid of you seeing it?"

"Well......"

"Eh?"

Huihui remained silent, but Youyou was surprised.

Aren't you afraid Huihui will see this?

Wouldn't that mean kissing her in front of her?

"What are you surprised about?" Huihui frowned.

"No, nothing..."

"Damn it! You must have done something behind my back yesterday! Tell me now!"

"Nothing at all."

"I've made up my mind! I'm going to follow you. Even if you do something, with me here, you definitely won't do it. I'm going to stop you!"

"what--"

"I already said it's really nothing, and I'll do whatever I want in front of you."

"I almost believed it."

"You should follow suit."

So in the afternoon, Shichen took Huihui and Youyou to continue doing their mission.

There's no need to consider Huihui; with their combined strength, they can handle any mission they want. He can manage on his own.

However, he certainly wouldn't do that; the difficulty of the mission could only be chosen based on Youyou's abilities.

There are two missions with high rewards: one is to hunt down a griffin, and the other is to hunt down a manticore. These two creatures have caused quite a stir over territory, but Youyou is not yet capable of hunting them down, and Shichen does not intend to accept them.

With him as a support, there's definitely no problem, but he doesn't like to force things to grow faster. He doesn't care about becoming stronger in this world; he just wants to enjoy life leisurely.

He didn't even want to get rid of the Demon King, since that guy hadn't really harmed the world, so it didn't make much difference whether he got rid of him or not.

Keep him around; we can bring other people here later to experience defeating the Demon King.

The other world is incomplete without a Demon King; he can't possibly play the Demon King himself.

Neither Aqua nor Megumin could motivate him to fight the Demon King; there was no one in this world who could inspire him to do so.

Although Kazuma Sato was capable of defeating the Demon King, his interference has rendered it impossible.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, no one should come to this world again.

After going around in circles, I can only choose one quest: defeating the lizard runners.

The lizard runner, a threat similar to the giant frog, runs around the outskirts of towns during its breeding season, disrupting the comings and goings of merchants.

The lizard runner is slightly smaller than the giant frog, and looks exactly like a lizard, except that it has two gill wings on its cheeks, runs on its hind legs, and is predominantly red, making it look quite menacing.

Shichen led Huihui and the others to the outskirts of town, and as soon as they saw them, they immediately unleashed their magic.

Youyou also released her magic, and the lizard runner's appearance made her feel a little physically uncomfortable.

Huihui couldn't do anything but lie on Shichen's back and watch the two bombard the lizard runner.

"Lightning!"

"fire ball".

Lightning and fireballs rose and fell, and before the lizard runner could even get going, it was already lying on the ground.

"Not bad, not bad, Youyou is getting better and better." After dealing with all the lizard runners, Huihui nodded and praised.

"I don't need your praise!" Youyou said irritably.

"Hmph~" Huihui didn't care at all: "But you're still far from catching up with me."

"That's not necessarily true," Shi Chen laughed. "Youyou will be able to learn advanced magic soon, and then she'll catch up with you."

"What?" Huihui was stunned. "You leveled up so fast? What happened? What did you guys do yesterday?"

"Have you forgotten that Youyou took care of most of the giant frogs before? She even did a lot of work on the way here."

"Damn it! I'm about to be caught up by Huihui."

"What does it matter?" Youyou said with a smile.

"That won't do. Outsiders will think you're not one of my subordinates."

"I was never your subordinate!"

Don't be shy.

"I'm not embarrassed! You're the one who's shameless!"

"What? Youyou actually dared to curse me? Shichen, did you teach her something?"

"...You two really get along well." Shi Chen shook his head, ignoring her. "Let's go, we should go back and report."

"Going back already? Aren't you two planning to do anything?"

"Huihui, what are you saying? I won't do it!" Youyou denied loudly, but couldn't help glancing at Shichen.

Shi Chen smiled and nodded: "There was nothing wrong with it."

"I almost believed it," Huihui said, pouting in disbelief.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Back at the guild, Shichen reported the mission to Luna. After she confirmed Youyou and his adventurer card, the reward was successfully obtained.

However, he was in no hurry to take the two away.

"Miss Luna, haven't you had any easy tasks lately?"

"Mr. Shichen, just call me Luna... Are you short of missions?" Luna asked curiously.

"Youyou will be able to learn advanced magic soon, so we need to level up quickly."

"Really? Congratulations, Miss Youyou."

"No, no, I haven't learned it yet," Youyou waved her hand shyly.

"So, is there any good mission?" Shichen continued to ask.

“Mr. Shichen, there’s no need to rush.” Luna smiled slightly.

"How to say?"
