Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 36: Where’s the victory celebration I was looking forward to?
Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Where’s the victory celebration I was looking forward to?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Nighttime.
Inn, room.
Lureya paced back and forth in the room, occasionally stepping onto the bed, then continued to pace impatiently.
By eleven o’clock at night, the Spirit Protection Array that enveloped the room still hadn’t made any noise, and she couldn’t stand it anymore, kneeling on the bed.
"Isn’t there supposed to be a celebration at times like this? After helping to beat off the great pirate, the whole country holds a banquet to celebrate with the adventurers; after defeating the invading ninja, the protagonist team goes to have hot ramen together... Why haven’t you brought the roast meat over yet, Shami!"
The blonde girl had been anticipating this part ever since taking a bath at seven in the evening.
Shami brings the roast meat over, and she provides the fruit wine brought from the Elf Forest. The two of them would celebrate defeating Cash with laughter and improve team camaraderie.
But now, she hadn’t even seen a strand of Shami’s hair.
Lureya clasped her hands together, sincerely praying for Shami’s appearance for the first time.
In a villager’s house not far away, Shami, who had just run ten kilometers, suddenly shivered all over, stopped to look around, and continued his workout when he found everything was fine.
Once you form the habit of exercising, it becomes addictive, and you feel uncomfortable if you don’t workout for a while each day.
This was the main reason; the second was that Shami found that his body felt a bit off after the battle with Cash.
For instance, when seeing the flat blonde, he inexplicably found her cuter than usual.
This made Shami highly alert.
He found it hard to understand why, even though he was a firm believer in the big busts and butts faction, he had such twisted thoughts.
Although the flat blonde was an elf race alien girl, barely meeting his large xp, her lack of chest and butt meant she couldn’t even pass the preliminary round!
Better continue exercising to suppress these inner impulses.
Shami was on the path to becoming bald.
Another hour later, Lureya completely despaired.
"As a Demon Envoy, I’ve been completely forgotten..."
Lying on the bed, she pulled an Aikoya Fruit out of her Storage Space, swallowing it while doing something else to distract from her thoughts of the celebration banquet.
"Hmm? Isn’t this the [Eye of the Duel]?"
Lureya had accidentally taken out the skill scroll from her Storage Space that Shami gave her today and opened it to check the information inside.
[Name: Eye of the Duel]
[Type: Skill]
[Effect: When engaging in battle with someone, you can deduce a battle victory rate through both sides’ intelligence and relevant data. The higher the skill level, the lower the error rate.]
The general content of the skill was the same as Cash described. This is a predictive type of skill and a general skill learnable by anyone, though it requires an enormous amount of skill points, and only when the level is high enough is the victory rate accurate. Therefore, except for professions like strategists, usually, no one would waste skill points learning such a skill.
But the Elf Race is different from the Human Race; Spiritual Power is equivalent to skill points. Basically, as long as one’s comprehension is high enough, elves with infinite Spiritual Power can learn all general skills that are not attribute incompatible.
Lureya thought for a while.
If she had this skill for self-defense, maybe her luck would be better in the future?
If someone challenges her at school, she would refuse if her victory rate is below 95%. Yes, indeed.
When the academy hosts simultaneous competitions, she could secretly open a gambling den on the sideline to earn some extra cash. Yes, indeed.
She could even see what her and Shami’s victory rates would be if they battled each other. If hers was much higher, wouldn’t it be feasible to sit on him and hold him down?
Yes, indeed!
Lureya became interested and immediately started learning this skill.
Skill points, right? This girl has plenty of Spiritual Power.
The blonde girl spent an entire night maxing out the level of this skill.
[Eye of the Duel (Max Level)]
[Effect: When dueling someone, you can provide a relatively reliable victory rate based on all sorts of intelligence and relevant data. However, specific circumstances are still subject to real-world influences.]
Lureya could understand the last part; after all, it’s a predictive type of skill. If it were 100% accurate, it wouldn’t be a prediction but a prophecy from the Magic Goddess.
"Great, I’ll find some time to try this move on Shami."
As dawn approached, Lureya contently lay down to sleep.
...
The next day.
Shami arrived at the flat blonde’s room very early. The flat blonde had just fallen asleep not long ago and was sound asleep, sleeping in an undignified manner.
But given the tiring battle they had fought yesterday, Shami did not wake her up immediately. Instead, he found a chair, sat by her bed, and planned today’s tasks while letting her sleep a little longer.
Half an hour later.
"What! Are you a pervert? Staying in a sleeping beauty’s room for a full half hour! You must have seen everything!"
Upon waking up, Lureya immediately became angry with embarrassment, hastily retracting her slender legs.
The blonde elf knew her own flaws. If news of her sleeping posture spread through a Recording Crystal broadcast, she’d definitely die from shame.
"I thought considering yesterday’s fatigue, letting you sleep a little longer would be nice. I didn’t expect such good intentions to be seen as donkey’s liver and lungs." Shami feigned being hurt.
Lureya’s anger subsided. She sat dumbfounded on the bed for a while, the few unruly strands of her golden hair slowly settling down.
"No! First of all, barging directly into my room like this is a big problem, isn’t it?!!"
The morning was destined not to be quiet.
The flat elf kept insisting on signing an agreement with Shami, prohibiting direct use of the Teleportation Gate into her room in the future. If he happened to walk in while she was changing clothes, wouldn’t she be at a great loss?
"From now on, open the Teleportation Gate in my bedroom... bathroom, knock from inside, and get my permission before coming in."
"In that case, if you’re bathing, wouldn’t I see even more?"
"What are the odds!" Lureya replied seriously, "I usually bathe between eight and nine in the evening, so just don’t come during that time!"
"Fine, fine." Shami replied dismissively, "I’ll do my best."
Lureya’s anger simmered for a while before calming down.
Shami showing up through the Teleportation Gate early in the morning and looking at her sleeping posture for half an hour was a minor thing.
The real reason for the young girl’s anger was that despite having the Teleportation Gate, not even a shadow of him was seen last night!
The two ate some vegetables and fruits, then boarded a cargo cart and left the village. The cart was loaded with Cash Dillon’s corpse; they planned to take it to the adventurer’s guild in Eden City to claim the bounty.
As for Cash’s subordinates, they had already been thrown into the deep forest by the villagers yesterday, leaving their corpses to be dealt with by the wolf pack.
After reaching a deserted area, Shami opened a Teleportation Gate, and he and Lureya went directly to a forest outside Eden City.
After putting Cash’s corpse (a dead object) into Cash’s normal Spatial Ring, they formally entered the city, heading straight for the bustling main street of Eden City.
The adventurer’s guild was located in a magnificent Gothic building, with many adventurers going in and out of its doors.
This time, Lureya didn’t hide her identity, wearing an exquisitely crafted elf race shirt and skirt. With light steps, she led the way with Shami following behind as they walked into the adventurer’s guild entrance together.
