Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

But Shirley assumed that she was already his girlfriend.

This means that if Lilith can be considered someone who came before her, then all the other girls would be labeled as "cheating cats" by her.

But if he were to explain his relationship with Shirley, Shirley's emotional control would likely spiral out of control again...

He hadn't had a headache over girls in a long time, and he never expected that Shirley would have such a problem;

This turned out to be advantageous for Lilith, but a problem for Felicity and the others.

"Alright. Since the commander says we need to rest, then let's continue sleeping."

Shirley stood up, hands on her hips, and straightened up, saying:

"Let's go to sleep together!"

Chapter 176 No Moving Around While Sleeping at Night

The beds in the church were very crowded.

Rhodes had just experienced this firsthand.

If he and Lilith sleep side by side, there is almost no room for either of them to turn around.

So they were just getting ready to fall asleep.

But the problem is—

What if there was one more person?

As soon as night falls, the snow outside starts to fall again.

It's very cold outside, but not inside.

Rhodes was squeezed in the middle, with the two girls turning over and sticking to his left and right sides.

Lilith and Shirley are both stubborn; once they've taken a hold, they'll do everything in their power to show they won't let go.

Of course, the main issue is that if we let go now, wouldn't that become very strange...?

The person you like is sleeping in someone else's arms, and you're left all alone.

Lilith would never allow such a thing to happen.

So their skin was almost glued together, and the only thing separating their bodies was their thin clothes and the static electricity that transmitted heat and a slight tingling sensation with each touch.

Even the most vulnerable parts of their bodies, Rod could clearly feel the pressure.

Good night, sir.

Shirley's hand encroached on Lilith's territory, going beyond the left side and directly touching Lilith's hand.

"Snapped--"

With a slight slap, Lilith instantly slapped Shirley's hand back into place. Although her expression remained indifferent, her eyes revealed an undeniable sense of authority.

But Shirley seemed not to care, and she deliberately clamped her thighs around Rhodes's legs again, then rubbed them together a couple of times, and playfully poked Rhodes's cheek with her finger.

"Goodnight, so please don't move around..."

“My habit, sir, you know it, I can’t stop.”

"..."

know.

They knew it, and people living under the same tent certainly understood each other's habits.

Shirley's ADHD is real; even when she's asleep, she tosses and turns... so Rod is actually quite worried that she'll roll off the bed when she falls asleep.

However, even though he knew this, he still had to verbally stop her, otherwise Xia Li would only take advantage of him further.

Right now it's just a simple touch, but I don't know where my hand will go in a moment.

The three of them were crowded together. Lilith felt a lingering jealousy, while Shirley was still basking in the joy of seeing Rhodes again, humming and whimpering.

So, Rhodes was destined to have a very torturous night...

Shirley would deliberately rub her thigh against him every now and then, and it became increasingly outrageous, with her voice becoming more and more seductive...

The fact that he wasn't torn in two by two powerful individuals who had advanced seven times suggests that they were showing him mercy.

……

...

Early morning in the church garden.

The monks are performing a ritual to release the souls created by last night's accident, while the architectural magicians are repairing the church that is open to the public.

Last night, Rhodes' sword cleaved the church in two. It could be said that, apart from the Star God Bow and the statue with its own divine power, the entire front half of the church was cut in half.

Aside from the monks, in the garden were Rhodes and the girls, as well as a long-lost enemy—

"Rhodes Chivenlance, I sincerely request a duel with you!" Elenora placed her longsword in front of her, not yet unsheathed, but with a powerful and resonant voice, calling out to Rhodes like a knight.

Her eyes shone with burning hope.

This is Elenora, who aspires to become even stronger.

Now, she feels an even stronger desire to challenge Rhodes, who survived last night's battle in the church.

Although the rumors were not entirely accurate, she at least learned that Rhodes and his team had killed several witches.

Of course, she wasn't stupid, and she could tell that Rhodes's aura outside was obviously just a normal fifth-level upgrade.

So, driven by this curiosity, she was naturally even more eager to know whether Rhodes truly possessed such strength, or was merely putting on a show.

but,

“Huh.” Shirley paused, recalling the truth Rod had told her last night—

Elenora is actually an enemy.

She hesitated for half a second, then leaned against Rhodes' shoulder: "Sir, should we...?"

"No need. The past is the past, and the present is the present."

Rhodes let out a breath.

There's no need to get too close to Elenora, but since Shirley has already brought her over, she can be used as a fighting force.

only……

He could feel the burning intensity in Elenora's eyes, that simple, yearning gaze that made Rhodes feel uneasy.

Elenora, a former enemy.

But now you're asking him for advice?

"It's alright. If you can learn anything from me, then give it a try."

Neither of them were fond of exchanging pleasantries.

The moment the words were spoken, Shirley consciously stepped back from Rhodes' side and moved closer to the girls to continue catching up.

She met Lilith last night, so now she needs to regain her memories and get to know Felicity and Natalie.

Except for Ivina, who is still asleep, she was able to greet everyone today.

“There’s something wrong with Shirley here.” Lilith stood beside Felicity, pointed to her head, then to Shirley, “So she’s lost part of her memory; she doesn’t remember me.”

“Ah…” Felicity paused, gently covering her mouth, “No wonder she seemed so unfamiliar just now.”

"Hello." Shirley walked over and tugged at Lilith's sleeve. "Lilith, you can't point your finger at my head and say I have a problem. It makes me sound like I'm brain-dead."

"Shirley." Natalie took a small step closer to her, looking at her with a curious expression, and circled around Shirley.

"What's wrong, Miss Natalie? Am I strange? Is there something wrong with the skin of this body?"

Natalie stopped spinning in circles, her eyes narrowing: "No, it's just that you really don't remember."

“Not at all.” Shirley raised her index finger and shook it gently, saying with a half-smile, “I remember, Natalie. I know you are my good friend.”

"I have a strong impression of you. It seems like you often treated me, and it was very warm."

“Ah…” Natalie nodded, “Yes, yes.”

It's quite normal for warriors and priests to have a good relationship in a team.

Ultimately, Shirley's reckless defensive methods were inseparable from Natalie's healing spells; otherwise, she would have died instantly.

“And then, your name is Felicity.” Shirley raised her hand and pinched Felicity’s soft, bouncy cheek. “I remember you were cute and a good person.”

"However, because most of my memories are very vague, I can't say what I experienced in the past."

"But, but, the important thing about living is to look at what will happen in the future."

"So, everyone, please take good care of me, Shirley is back!"

"Shirley..." Felicity's voice was soft because Shirley was pinching her cheek.

“Welcome back.” Lilith nodded in response, then turned to look at Rhodes and Elenora. “Now, let’s see how Rhodes and the others are doing.”

It would be really easy for Shirley to rejoin the team.

Because her vivacity is different from Natalie's.

If Natalie is gentle and lively, then she's the kind of person who laughs simply to be happy.

Therefore, it seems to have a greater ability to corrode, but precisely because of this... it is actually a little bit worse inside.

“Yes, Lilith!” Shirley raised her hand in salute, stood up straight, and looked at Rhodes.

"..."

"..."

Natalie and Felicity were both speechless when they saw Shirley in this state.

There's no way around it, isn't she being a little too obedient to Lilith?

Shirley was never like this before, what happened?

Although both of them were confused, they both looked at Rhodes.
