131. Hello everyone, Lynn is my love (Please subscribe)
Beside the campfire.
After a short rest, Lynn and his group had recovered their spirits considerably.
The girls of the Artemis Familia were chatting noisily together.
Lynn rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
The aftereffects of dragon transformation were more severe than expected. Although his physical strength recovered after absorbing the flames, the mental fatigue lingered, and his mind felt like it was filled with a lump of paste.
"Lynn, would you like to rest a bit more?"
Liu handed over a water bag, her cool eyes filled with concern.
Lynn's rage last night, where she acted like she didn't recognize anyone, really scared her.
"No, I have to go back right away."
Lynn shook her head, took the water bag, and took a swig. "The wedding is tomorrow."
Now that there's no need to maintain stability, Lynn doesn't deliberately hide anything; if anyone asks, he answers truthfully.
These words immediately created a subtle atmosphere.
The girls who were playing around quieted down and all turned their gazes toward their goddess.
Artemis sat gracefully by the campfire, poking at the flames with a twig.
Upon hearing Lynn's words, she paused slightly in her fiddling with the flames.
But she didn't say anything. She just raised her head and gave Lynn a smile that was as usual, with a touch of heroism.
But Lynn always felt that there was something else hidden in that smile.
He was about to say something to ease the tension,
Suddenly, from the direction of the dense forest in the distance, came the sound of hurried footsteps and the sound of branches being parted.
"Something's wrong!" Lessa reacted immediately and gripped the hilt of her sword.
The girls of the Artemis Familia instantly assumed battle stances and quickly formed a defensive formation.
Lynn and Liu exchanged a glance and then stood up.
Could they be reinforcements from the dark faction? Or other monsters attracted by the smell of blood?
Soon, a group of familiar figures rushed out of the woods.
Leading the group were Alexie, with her red ponytail and a rapier in hand, and Kaguya, dressed in a kimono, her hand on the hilt of her sword, her face full of anxiety.
Behind them were the main members of the Astrea Familia.
Asthai, Niz, and Maru have all come.
They were all weary from their journey, their faces etched with fatigue and worry, clearly having traveled through the night without a moment's rest.
"Lynn! Ryu~!"
The moment Alexie saw Lynn and Liu safe and sound, her heart finally settled down. She shouted and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
As for Kaguya, the moment she saw Lynn, her usually tense and seemingly strong pretty face could no longer hold back.
Her body swayed, and tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
At this moment, she didn't want to pretend anymore.
She rushed toward Lynn without hesitation.
"Lynn!"
Kaguya's tearful cry clenched Lynn's heart.
He opened his arms and steadily caught the figure that rushed into his embrace.
Kaguya's body was still trembling slightly from lingering fear and excitement.
She buried her face deep in Lynn's chest, hugging him with all her might, as if trying to meld herself into his body. The grievances she had suppressed all night finally erupted at this moment.
"Ugh...you idiot! You big idiot!"
"I thought... I thought I'd never see you again..."
"Do you know how worried I am... Waaah..."
Kaguya's fists pounded on Lynn's chest, but she didn't use any force; it was more like she was being affectionate.
Lynn was filled with guilt and pity. He gently patted Kaguya's back and softly comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright. Don't cry."
Alexie and the members of the Astrea Familia, who were standing nearby, smiled knowingly at the scene.
However, this heartwarming scene appeared particularly jarring to another group of people.
"Humph."
An untimely snort shattered the warmth of the moment.
Lessa stood not far away with her arms crossed, watching the two of them cuddling together with a very unfriendly look in her eyes.
She admitted that the man named Lynn was strong and charming, but her goddess had almost risked her life for him.
Now he's cuddling with another woman, all lovey-dovey. What does that even mean?
Lynn also sensed that the atmosphere was off. He comforted Kaguya in his arms, then looked up and introduced himself somewhat awkwardly:
"Ahem, let me introduce you. This is Lady Letsa, the leader of the Artemis Familia. And this is their goddess, Artemis."
"The Artemis Familia?"
Alexie was taken aback. Of course they had heard of this clan, but they didn't expect to encounter them here.
Just as she was about to go forward to greet her, Kaguya also lifted her tear-streaked pretty face from Lynn's arms and looked curiously at the chaste goddess.
However, before they could even speak...
Artemis stood up.
She took long strides and walked straight to Lynn's side, ignoring everyone's gaze, and made a move that left everyone speechless.
She reached out her fair hand and, quite naturally, took Lynn's other arm.
Then, she tilted her head slightly, looking at Kaguya who was still clinging to Lynn, and then at the dumbfounded Alexandra and the others.
His signature, dashing smile appeared on his face, and he declared in a matter-of-fact tone:
Hello.
"Lynn, is my Orion."
"And mine too, my love."
132. The fragrance of wildflowers is nowhere near as sweet as that of moonflowers. (Please subscribe)
The air, in Artemis's pronouncement, froze completely.
Kaguya first glanced blankly at Lynn.
Then she turned to the goddess who was holding Lynn's arm.
mistress?
Orion?
What is this?
Alexie stared wide-eyed, nearly dropping the rapier in her hand.
She glanced at Lynn, then at Artemis, then at Kaguya, her face displaying a carefree expression.
Gradually, this was replaced by an excitement of "Oh my god, this is going to be interesting."
The other members of the Astrea Familia, Marunez and Astaire, also looked like they had lost their minds.
They came to save people, but it feels like they've stumbled into a love triangle on a god-like scale?
On the other side,
"Hmph." Letesa crossed her arms again, but this time, her gaze toward Lynn held a hint of complexity in addition to hostility.
If her goddess is in this state, and this man dares to be irresponsible, she'll chop him up first.
Meanwhile, the rest of Artemis's 647 Familia, inspired by the goddess's courageous and loving demeanor, silently encouraged her.
Only Liu remained aloof and cold. She simply took a half step back, leaving the space entirely to the three people involved.
She felt that Lynn might need more space to prepare for the coming storm.
“Um…” Lynn felt this was really strange. He tried to pull his arm out of Artemis’s soft yet strong embrace, only to find that she held on even tighter.
He could only manage an awkward laugh. "It's a misunderstanding, it's a bit complicated..."
However, Kaguya did not make a scene as he had imagined, nor did she even question him.
She simply looked at Lynn quietly, and then asked:
"Lynn."
"Ok?"
"Didn't you come looking for the Moonflower? Where is the Moonflower?"
In an instant, all the grand narratives about gods, lovers, and the Russian "53 Reading Club" were reduced to their original forms by this simple and unadorned question.
Right! Weren't you looking for flowers for your wedding?
Why didn't we find the flower, but instead found a... wild goddess?
Lynn's expression instantly fell.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
I haven't forgotten the important matter, but I haven't had time to look for it.
"Pfft." Alexie finally couldn't hold back any longer. She nudged Maru beside her with her sword scabbard, laughing uncontrollably. "I knew it! Lynn's trip out never ends well. Look at what he's gained! Wildflowers are nowhere near as fragrant as moonflowers!!!"
Her words were ambiguous, causing the girls of Artemis's Familia to glare angrily, yet they dared not retaliate.
“Kaguya, there’s a misunderstanding.” Lynn broke free from Artemis’s arm, placed his hands on Kaguya’s shoulders, and spoke rapidly.
"We encountered a dark faction that wanted to steal the Black Dragon Scales. They released a monster called Andares, a level 6 monster, which was incredibly powerful. We couldn't defeat it, and then Artemis, to save me, drew the monster's attention. To save her, I ate the Black Dragon Scales, transformed into a dragon, killed the monster, and then I passed out..."
He spoke quickly and urgently, and the content was so bizarre that the members of the Astrea Familia were all stunned.
He ate...ate black dragon scales? He transformed into a dragon?
What kind of adventure story is this?
It's only been a day and a night, how could so many things have happened?
"So," Lynn concluded, his face full of sincerity.
“Artemis calls me her Orion because of this sword in my hand, the Arrow of Orion, her divine weapon. Now that it has absorbed the black dragon scales, it has acknowledged me as its master. What she means by this, yes, this is it!”
After he finished speaking, he nodded heavily, as if he himself believed it.
However, Artemis, who was behind him, stepped forward again and peeked out from behind him, giving Kaguya an impeccable smile.
“No,” the goddess’s voice was light yet firm. “The lover I’m talking about is my lover. Orion is my only partner; it’s destiny!”
Lynn grinned speechlessly.
Hey sis! I've covered up so well, don't ruin it for me!
Kaguya looked at the dashing goddess before her, then at Lynn.
She took a deep breath, loosened her grip on Lynn's clothes, and bowed slightly to Artemis.
“Artemis, thank you and your kin for saving Lynn and Ryu.” Her demeanor was elegant and graceful, showing no sign of her recent tears. “I am Kaguya of the Astraea Familia, Lynn’s…fiancée.”
She pronounced the words "fiancée" with exceptional clarity.
Artemis's smile faltered slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
As a deity, she could naturally see the determination of the girl before her.
The two women's eyes met in mid-air.
