Chapter 656 : If I Talk to You Again, I'm a Puppy

Dungeon, 34th Floor.

"Felyn, did that receptionist, Miss Lucia, have a crush on you? Her face turned all red when she saw you take out the Second-Class Noble badge."

"Don't make her sound so materialistic. Miss Lucia is a good person."

The 34th floor was a typical canyon and mountain terrain.

The towering twin mountains in the center appeared in the air like a broken bridge. If one was lucky, they could see the dungeon's sun hanging perfectly between the twin mountains.

There were no tall trees on this floor, but the terrain was very undulating.

Eitani was still wearing that camel-colored trench coat. The armor she had just bought was in Felyn's backpack.

After spending several thousand crowns to buy it, Eitani felt that wearing armor was too much trouble. She wanted to throw it away less than five minutes after putting it on.

Felyn gratefully accepted it, preparing to sell it secondhand.

Although this bit of money was nothing compared to thirty million crowns, every little bit counts.

Felyn was very concerned about the Hero's Sword on Eitani's back. She had wrapped the blade in cloth, leaving only the hilt exposed.

According to what Eitani just said, she had seized the opportunity to snatch the Hero's Sword during the chaotic battle of the gods.

With this sword, it would be easy to win the Hero's Festival.

"Eitani, do you like swords? I usually see you fighting bare-handed."

Eitani shook her head. "I'm better at using magic. I've never used a sword. But carrying a sword on a journey, isn't that the daily life of an adventurer? And you're by my side, so..."

Felyn's pace began to slow. He was somewhat familiar with this kind of topic.

He was afraid Eitani's next sentence would be, "Because you're by my side, my adventurer life is interesting."

Eitani stopped, turned her head to look at Felyn, and her expression became serious.

"Because I have you, my attendant and servant, by my side, I can have you carry it for me if I get tired of carrying it."

"Attendant?"

"Yeah, isn't that how it's written in novels? A knight has an attendant who is responsible for taking care of the knight's daily life and luggage. It's a lot like you."

Phew, thank goodness.

Eitani was still the same Eitani.

Felyn felt he was getting a little ahead of himself, actually thinking the Demon King's daughter would say something that indicated she had feelings for him.

"Why are you smiling, Felyn? Is it such an honor to be my attendant?"

"Don't make me sound like a masochist."

Eitani was in a good mood the whole way.

She carried the sword on her shoulder, introducing the surrounding environment to Felyn along the way.

Occasionally, when they encountered small animals, she would excitedly pull Felyn to run in front of the trembling creatures, raising the Hero's Sword and shouting about righteous vanquishing.

Eitani was enjoying the life of an adventurer. She needed to come here with a brand new identity.

This was her old home.

Her lonely old home.

But after walking for more than forty minutes, they still hadn't encountered a single magical beast.

As long as Eitani was around, the magical beasts on this floor would hide in their lairs and never come out.

"Felyn, why don't you just play the role of a magical beast? Let me have some fun," Eitani walked to the stream, put down her sword, and her delicate face appeared in the clear water.

The stream deliberately avoided her reflection, reluctantly carrying Eitani's appearance away.

Cool water dripped from her cheeks to her collar, wetting a small patch of her clothes.

The damp strands of hair around her face stuck to her cheek. She gently hooked them with her little finger and casually flicked them behind her head.

"Then you'll have to kill me with one punch."

"I don't care. I was so looking forward to experiencing the life of an adventurer, but there isn't a single magical beast." Eitani then sat down next to Felyn, straightening the black stockings on her legs. "Why is it like this!"

Her cheeks puffed up more and more, and her red hair behind her kept whipping against Felyn's shoulder with the wind.

Felyn looked at her sullen face and felt the magical energy in the air thicken a bit.

The Demon King's daughter was angry.

However happy she had been laughing in the dungeon just now, that's how angry she was now.

Satisfying the client was the most basic requirement. Felyn propped himself up on his legs and stretched.

He stole a glance at Eitani's expectant eyes beside him. She thought he was standing up to agree to her request.

The Demon King's daughter was just short of wagging her tail at this moment.

When Felyn turned to look at Eitani, she quickly retracted her expectant gaze, propped up her chin, and turned her head to the side.

Eitani heard a rustling sound beside her and thought Felyn was finally going to agree.

Could it be... Felyn is really willing to play the role of a magical beast?

Hmph, Felyn is actually so obedient to me. I should be a little nicer to him in the future. A-after all, he's an obedient servant.

While Eitani was thinking this in her heart, she turned her head only to find that Felyn had sat back down in his original spot, showing no intention of getting up at all.

"You!"

Eitani glared at Felyn, her long legs lifting up and finally slamming on the ground.

Stupid Felyn!

She huffed, vowing in her heart to never speak to Felyn again.

"What's wrong? Suddenly glaring at me, are you angry again?"

Eitani didn't speak.

Felyn, if I say another word to you, I'm a puppy!

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!

I was just thinking about being a little nicer to you, but now it seems I should just pound you into the ground!

Felyn stood up and squatted in front of Eitani. "Don't you want to be an adventurer anymore? I've already thought of a script."

Eitani pushed off with her left leg and spun around to the right.

Felyn didn't give up and continued to squat in front of Eitani.

The two repeated the action continuously. Eitani had already drawn three complete circles on the ground.

"As expected of the Demon King's daughter, even your circles are so round."

Eitani glared at Felyn again, biting her lower lip tightly, her brown eyes beginning to tremble.

"Forget it, it seems the Demon King's daughter has lost interest. I was just thinking carefully about the script," Felyn pretended to give up, getting up to pack his backpack.

"If it's just a simple magical beast appearing and then getting beaten up by you, that would be too boring."

"It's better to add some plot, build up the tension first. For example, I first steal your Hero's Sword, you temporarily fall into a disadvantage, I keep provoking you, and then you give a faint smile, suddenly transform and awaken, and knock me to the ground. Wouldn't that be more satisfying?"

Felyn glanced back at Eitani's reaction and found that she still hadn't moved.

Is this routine of mine too cliché? The Demon King's daughter isn't interested at all.

Felyn rubbed his temples, looking at Eitani who still had her back to him.

"Since you're not interested, let's go for another walk. Maybe we'll run into a magical beast."

Just as Felyn was about to get up and leave, Eitani finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

She walked over to Felyn's side, and the scent of vanilla instantly enveloped him.

It was the first time Felyn had seen Eitani's cheeks turn red under normal circumstances.

She hugged her legs tightly, squatted obediently on the ground, and curled up her body.

Eitani opened her mouth, the words stuck in her throat. Then her red lips began to close again, unable to get the words out.

After this repeated five times, her eyes began to get moist.

"Eitani, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Should we go back?"

Eitani shook her head vigorously, her moist brown eyes looking directly at Felyn.

She took a deep breath and finally said what she wanted to say in a soft voice.

"Woof."

Felyn's mouth hung half-open. He didn't know why Eitani suddenly made such a sound.

After speaking, Eitani buried her face in her legs, her red hair behind her blown into the air by her shyness.

"A-Eitani..."

"D-don't ask!!!" Eitani shot up, her cheeks scorching hot.

I've already barked like a puppy, so now I can talk to Felyn.

"I-I want to act out that... plot you just mentioned." Her words were so soft that Felyn didn't hear them.

"What did you say?"

Eitani's hands clenched into fists. "I said, I want to act out that plot you just mentioned!!! Stupid Felyn—!"

Felyn was completely bewildered.

What's wrong with her?

Forget it, I'm already used to it. I'm surrounded by abnormal young ladies. As a demon, it's normal for her thinking to be a bit jumpy, right?

However, just as he was about to get up and start acting, a scream reached their ears.

Felyn quickly turned his head and saw a divine chain not far away, indicating that someone was fighting.

Eitani also discovered the battle not far away.

"Felyn, Felyn, quick, let's go over there! This is when an adventurer like me is needed to help!"

"Eitani?! Don't carry me! Put me down!!"

The girl's emotions came and went quickly.

Her attention was easily diverted.
