Chapter 186 Chunji's Death!
"Haruhime, how did you sleep last night?"
After washing up and stepping out of his room, Lin Yu saw Chun Ji strolling in the courtyard.
"Lord Lin Yu... I slept very peacefully last night."
""
Seeing Lin Yuchunji's eyes light up, she immediately walked over.
"That's good."
"By the way, would you like to see your childhood friends?"
"friend?"
Haruhime was a little confused. Did she have any friends who came to Orario?
"Yes, Takemikazuchi came to Orario a long time ago, and so have your childhood friends, who are now adventurers. Would you like to see them?"
"Are they... all in Orario...?"
'
After murmuring a few words, Chunji fell silent.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to see them?"
"No... I just..."
'
Seeing Chunji's hesitant expression as she wanted to see her friend, Lin Yu roughly knew the reason.
Her former playmates, with whom she once laughed and joked, have become respected adventurers, while she has been reduced to a prostitute. Naturally, she finds it difficult to face this reality, and even now that she has been rescued, she is struggling to adapt to the change in her status.
Just as Lin Yu was about to comfort her, Aisha, who had overheard their conversation, walked over with a puzzled look on her face.
"Commander, didn't you do anything that night? How come Haruhime doesn't seem to know she hasn't slept with any guests?"
"Chun-hee is not a real prostitute, so I would never take advantage of her in her vulnerable state."
Lin Yu explained.
"I didn't expect you to be such a gentleman, Commander."
Aisha was quite surprised, not expecting that the two of them had slept together all night without having sex. No wonder Chunji didn't know that she had never entertained a guest.
"Miss Aisha... what did you mean by that just now?"
Chunji was a little confused. She had clearly entertained many guests, so why did Miss Aisha say that she had never slept with any of them?
"That's what you mean. Every time you entertain guests, you faint immediately upon seeing them undress, even foaming at the mouth, which terrifies them. So, except for that one time with Lord Lin Yu, you've been rejected every time!"
"But...I clearly..."
'
Do you feel you have any related memories?
Chunji nodded. Although she fainted every time, she did sometimes have some special memories, which is why she thought she had already received guests.
"I'm certain you didn't entertain any guests. You probably had some lewd dream after you passed out, you lecherous fox."
Aisha suppressed a laugh.
Aisha's words struck Chunji like a thunderclap, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.
"H-How could this be...?"
'
After muttering a few words to herself, Chunji, whose face was so red it looked like she was about to steam, couldn't take it anymore and fainted from embarrassment. Lin Yu quickly caught her.
Lin Yu was not surprised by Chun Ji's situation. She hadn't stolen any offerings when she was a child, but when she was framed, she genuinely believed she had. So it's not unusual for her to think she had entertained guests just because she had a wet dream.
"Captain, I'm entrusting Haruhime to you!"
Aisha left the courtyard with a smile.
"Lady Haruhime, is that Lady Haruhime?"
The Takemikazuchi clan members were filled with disbelief when they saw Haruhime's Yamato-no-Mikoto; they never expected to meet Lady Haruhime in Orario.
"My life belongs to me."
Although she had been out of work for a while, Haruhime, now aware that she hadn't actually been entertaining guests, was able to face her childhood friends.
"Takemikazuchi, I'd like to speak with you privately."
"Come over here."
After glancing at Haruhime, Takemikazuchi was also curious about what had happened.
Following Takemikazuchi into a room, Lin Yu recounted what had happened.
"I see, Lin Yu, thank you for saving Chun Ji."
"You're welcome. I'm also here for Haruhime's magic."
"In any case, it was you who saved Chunji from her suffering. If it were us, even if we knew, we probably would have been powerless to do anything."
"
Takemikazuchi had a feeling that even if Haruhime didn't have that magic, Lin Yu would still go to save her. There was no reason, just a simple feeling.
"Lord Takemikazuchi, besides wanting Haruhime to meet her childhood friends, I also have two other things I'd like to ask for your help with."
"What is it?"
Lin Yu saved Chun Ji, so Takemikazuchi naturally wouldn't refuse his request.
"The first thing I want to ask you to make is a high-level monster bait that can at least attract level Iv5 monsters."
The Takemikazuchi Familia has done many jobs to make money, and making and selling monster bait is one of them. After Lin Yu learned about this, he decided to let them research and develop it. After all, the matter of making high-level monster bait is somewhat private and it is best not to spread it. So it is best to entrust it to an acquaintance.
"High-level monster bait? Why would you want something like that?"
Takemikazuchi was somewhat puzzled.
Ordinary monster bait isn't in high demand; aside from some unspeakable reasons, most of it is used to increase monster-killing efficiency.
The monsters in the upper levels respawn very slowly, which some experienced adventurers may find inefficient, so monster bait is needed.
However, the monsters in the middle and lower levels spawn very frequently, and adventurers may even find it difficult to cope, so they naturally wouldn't consider attracting more monsters.
"I'm good at wide-area attack magic, so even the monsters on the lower levels respawn a bit slowly for me."
'
""
As a god, Takemikazuchi knew that Lin Yu was not lying, but he still couldn't understand.
Even if you are good at area-of-effect spells, you shouldn't feel that monsters respawn slowly, because area-of-effect spells consume a lot of mana and can't be used many times. They can only be used as a trump card and can't be used as a regular attack, so how can you feel that monsters respawn slowly?
Unless Lin Yu is exceptionally special, possessing magical power far exceeding that of ordinary mages, there is no possibility of needing high-level monsters as bait.
"I understand, I will help you with the research, but it's hard to say how long it will take."
Takemikazuchi didn't ask any further questions, since the matter wasn't too difficult, so he readily agreed.
"What's the second thing?"
"The second thing is that I hope to learn martial arts from you, Lord Takemikazuchi."
Lin Yu had previously discovered while fighting monsters that magic had limited effectiveness when there were many strong monsters, making melee combat more useful.
However, Lin Yu's close combat skills are somewhat lacking, or rather, they are somewhat lacking for his current level of strength. This makes it difficult for him to effectively defeat monsters, and he needs to learn and improve as soon as possible.
And the martial god Takemikazuchi is undoubtedly an excellent master.
Most gods, after sealing their divine power, have combat strength that is not much different from that of ordinary people.
But Takemikazuchi is different. He is a god of war, and his martial arts skills are extraordinary. He can even use his martial arts to fight against powerful adventurers.
With the qualities of an ordinary person, relying solely on simple martial arts skills, it is unimaginable that such martial arts skills could withstand powerful adventurers. Teaching Lin Yu would be more than enough.
