"Whether it's living at Shota's house or sleeping with Shota, I was here first, so why should you..."
“Wait a minute.” Tina met Ercoya’s gaze without flinching, and explained calmly, “...I didn’t sleep with Shota.”
"Then it's even more unforgivable. Whether it's the front or the back, what do you have that I can compare to? Why is it that you don't even have a body..."
Wait a minute! This plot seems to be heading in a strange direction!
Even Shota could feel the tense atmosphere in the air. Of course, while only Ercoa was feeling angry on her own, Tina... seemed to have no reaction at all.
"There's nothing more to say..." Erkoya said, grinding his teeth. "I've heard you're pretty good. Let's duel!"
Tina blinked to express her surprise and disbelief.
"Wait a minute!"
At this point, Shota finally couldn't hold back any longer. Of course, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing, otherwise, who knew if it would ignite a real, fierce battle? Familiars were one thing—if one fell swoop, he could summon another—but what if Tina got hurt?!
Shota first bowed apologetically to Tina, and said in a low voice that he thought Ercoa couldn't hear him, "Sister Tina, this is my familiar. It may be a little willful, and I'm really sorry for causing you trouble... I'm very grateful for your care that day. Leave the familiar to me."
After saying that, Shota didn't dare to look Tina in the eye. Instead, his face flushed red, he pulled Ercoa back into the house. "Come back with me quickly... Familiar, you must listen to your master and come back with me!"
After pulling for a while and finding he couldn't budge it, Shota could only suppress his overwhelming shame and whisper in Ercoa's ear, "As long as... you don't hurt Sister Ti, you can do whatever you want..."
Then Ercoa followed Shota back into the house with a smile, and bang! The door slammed shut.
Tina had actually heard those words, and a fleeting emotional fluctuation flashed in her calm, scarlet eyes.
Tina bowed to the closed door, said "Excuse me," and then turned and left.
Now that Ercoa has returned, his mission to protect Shota, which he had promised Tohru and Fafnir, can be considered successfully completed.
Next, she went to Elma's house, bought a bag of cream bread at the supermarket, and ordered a cup of grass jelly at the iced coffee shop while walking.
The address was found out from Tohru, but when they arrived at Elma's place, they were surprised to find no one there.
After knocking and waiting for a minute without any response, Tina activated her "Energy Capture Beam" from her eyes. However, she didn't detect any 'energy' or 'life form' through the door.
The company's closed today, so is Sea Dragon Girl off maintaining world peace again? Or...?
Tina had no idea that Elma had actually gone out to buy things an hour earlier, but was still stuck in the dazzling array of goods at the fruit shop... So, decision paralysis is really terrifying.
Perhaps because Elma gave her the Heart of the Sea Dragon... Tina paid more attention to Elma than to other dragons, and she was also very curious about what Elma's home in the human world was like.
There's no way she can't get in. Fingerprint locks are no problem for her at all.
With her own supercomputer in her mind, Tina pressed her thumb on the lock, using her body as a medium to forcibly initialize the electronic lock. With a push and a pull, the door opened.
Looking around the space, which was less than 70 square meters, the floor was clean and bright, and there was a sofa, a TV, and a chandelier, all of which were wiped clean and new. It was clear that Hailongniang was usually very clean.
But it seems that Eruma's greatest strength is being careless in places where she shouldn't be, such as having difficulty making choices, or... Tina went to the kitchen and found that the indicator light on the rice cooker was dim, and the white rice porridge inside was not kept warm.
Tina had no choice but to press the keep-warm button. She couldn't let Elma come back looking miserable and drinking cold porridge.
At that moment, the Reincarnation Watch suddenly vibrated.
Zhai Nan sent a private message asking: Tina, when are we going to take action?
Tina then realized how quickly time had passed without her noticing.
Before leaving, Tina thought for a moment, then found a pen and a piece of white paper on the spot, and wrote neatly on it—
[1: Remember to press the keep warm button next time]
[2: You may like to drink cold porridge, but drinking cold porridge is bad for your health.]
[3: Cream bread should not be eaten with meat]
[4: Cream bread should not be eaten in excess]
[5: Because it will make you fat]
I paused, my thoughts seemed to have stopped, but I vaguely felt that I had missed a very important point.
Tina chewed on her pen as she pondered, when suddenly an idea struck her. She remembered one of Elma's most troublesome and tormenting habits, and so she continued writing—
[6: If you don't carry cash when you go out, you won't have trouble making decisions.]
[7: Or, find someone who understands your quirks and preferences and whom you can rely on and trust... to make the choice for you.]

I might not be a qualified writer, but I'd barely qualify as a writer. I opened a bounty before, but found myself lazy about keeping track of it, so I decided to update only when I'm in a bad mood, and update more when I'm in a good mood... Well, my mood is you guys (seriously). For example, the number of recommendation votes I have now is less than yesterday, which means I'm not in a good mood.
[The author is a very sensitive and fragile person. When I uploaded the first chapter or two, two experienced Sealers (who might be bald) corrected inconsistencies in Tina's background, and I went back and carefully revised them. Today, I accidentally discovered that those two people who first pointed out the errors are no longer there.]
...Were they secretly watching? I clicked into their personal bookshelf from the historical comments and found that this book wasn't there... No, it wasn't there... I was suddenly a little confused, wondering if I had somehow ruined Tina. After all, all the Closers players had run away, so what ability did I have to keep the others here?
With this in mind, despite the many complaints in the first two chapters, I patiently checked their comments and saw how many people had abandoned the book. Each time I saw it listed, I felt a strange sense of relief. Thankfully, I didn't find a third person who abandoned it, which made me happy (I've never seen such a 'humble' writer; maybe it's just me?).
Compared to other newbies, this is an ideal result for a book that wasn't recommended. 1000 favorites in 8 days. I think the plot is satisfactory. However, I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why some Closers fans dropped the book. But I don't regret it.
Perhaps Tina's writing isn't as vivid and engaging as that of top students or other literary giants, and the pace isn't as fast (there's practically no explicit content, a breath of fresh air!), but please be kind and encouraging to a fragile, hardworking heart. In the future, many reasons may cause more people to abandon the book; hopefully, Xiaoyue will have learned to be strong then.
What? You actually read all that rambling, complaining nonsense? What can I say?
I can only say one thing
Thank you
【Ta19 Journey to 'Another World'】
Yosuga no Sora Internet Cafe, a private room for one person.
"Backflip slash! Uppercut, triple slash! Wait, where's my triple slash... Damn, my combo's broken. Hmm... Fireball? Heh, I won't die from taking a fireball, just watch me catch up and hack you to pieces..."
The enormous, scorching fireball struck Zuo Shi squarely in the face, dealing a five-figure critical hit damage, instantly killing Zuo Shi's golden swordsman.
Seeing the screen go dark again, Zuo Shi frowned and paused for a moment, then burst into a rage, pounding his keyboard and cursing, "What a piece of shit game! Did the game designers eat the balance code? I chased him down for two minutes and he still wasn't dead, and then he killed me with a single fireball?!"
The mage sat in front of the swordsman's corpse and sighed, when a dialogue box appeared above his head: "Dude, you're still pretty good, you just didn't spend enough money."
Zuo Shi also plays "JIUJIUYE" because, as early as the beginning of the Miki Outline World storyline, after learning that the treasure was guarded by the cursed dragon Fafnir, Zuo Shi had the idea of doing this "side quest".
Although... Zuo Shi was unaware that this unique task had already been taken over by someone else.
However, after several days of playing with J.JY, Zuo Shi, with his limited gaming experience, had only just begun to grasp the basics and his skill level was only average. Zuo Shi's greatest idol was that 'melee mage' who could dominate the top ten players on the ladder with only tens of thousands of yuan worth of basic gear.
Ding--
To get closer to Fafnir, becoming friends in the game is definitely the first step. However, Zuo Shi sent a friend request a long time ago and is only now receiving a reply.
[Player 'Dashan Meng' has rejected your friend request]
Zuo Shi fell silent. In fact, he had also sparred with Da Shan Meng once, and was naturally completely crushed by Da Shan Meng, who was almost at full health. In Da Shan Meng's friend list, there might be enemies, but there were definitely no trashy people.
[Player 'Dashanmeng' has blacklisted you]
Ah, you even blocked me?
Zuo Shi felt his dignity had been insulted, and his temper flared up instantly. He immediately sent a message through the area megaphone included in the newbie gift pack: "Da Shan Meng, you motherfucker, you don't know what's good for you?"
Although it was quick, the map where his body was located was soon occupied by a densely packed group of supporters from the "Great Immortal Fierce Folk".
Damn it, I'm logging off, okay?
[If more than 1000 people use 'corpse whip' on you, you will be offline for 1000 seconds.]
"........."
Knock knock! It's another knock on the door.
Zuo Shi, thinking it was the internet cafe manager, grumbled as he turned his chair to open the door, only to be taken aback by the person standing there indifferently. "M-Uncle?"
If it weren't for the subtle connection between the reincarnation teammates, Zuo Shi would never have believed that the middle-aged man in front of him with his trendy and stylish hairstyle, calm and handsome face, sexy stubble, and eagle-like eyes was the uncle who had been imprisoned before.
His impeccably tailored suit was stretched taut by his taut muscles, his once protruding belly was gone, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, exuding a subtle intimidating aura. The man seemed like a completely different person.
"I heard you tried to kill me before?"
When Zuo Shi said that in the group chat, Ye Qiu was right next to the uncle, sharing the group chat's light and shadow information.
"Ah, this...hehe, just kidding, just kidding." Zuo Shi realized that the uncle in front of him, who seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, was not someone to be trifled with.
The older man laughed along, a gun already pulled back and pressed against his temple. His smile was far more chilling than the man's: "Let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Li Shichen..."
--------
After leaving Elma's house, Tina used advanced technology to restore the electronic lock's password.
Then he activated his Reincarnation Watch and sent Zhai Nan a message: "Meet at nine o'clock."
This story begins last night.
When Zhai Nan used his sword energy to launch a long-range attack on the Sword Saint, once again disgusting Fafnir and humiliating him, he also proposed a final duel at the Martial Arts Tournament finals, successfully fueling Fafnir's anger.
Once the video of Da Xian Meng being worn down to death by the new style of Sword Saint was released, all Sword Saint classes were amazed (Golden Swordsman and Sword Saint are two different classes), and they all followed suit and formed Sword Saint Guilds, and even hailed "Tina is the cutest in the world" as the godfather of Sword Saint.
Poor Da Shan Meng support group just finished a fight with the melee mage alliance, and now they have to face the sword saint guild. They are truly exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Zhai Nan finally completed the first stage of the side quest and received a stage reward that surprised and excited him:
[The Treasure Map of the Cursed Dragon (Quest)]
[The Key to Breaking the Illusory Barrier (Quest)] — [Used to break the illusory barrier of the treasure location]
And it reveals the content of the second phase, which, compared to the first phase, consists of only a few very simple words:
[The Dragon's Treasure is located where it's marked on the map. Come and claim it if you want it!]
