Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Cleaning Up the Mess

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Huh? Not only did we win, but we’ve already killed them?"

Theo walked over from the chaotic battlefield, shocked and wide-eyed upon seeing Cash and his subordinates’ bodies.

"Although I did play a role, I remember being ambushed and then passing out. Damn those enemies!"

No, you completely fainted because you carelessly stepped on a small rock and fell. Don’t make it sound like you had any impact on this battle!

Shami couldn’t bring herself to reveal this hurtful truth.

"But what is this sticky liquid all around?"

Theo looked at the clearing, covered in thick tree sap. Those were the corpses of slimes that Cash cut down when the ’Regeneration’ skill was in cooldown mode.

Shami concocted a plausible battle narrative.

"It’s just plain tree sap. At first, we pretended to lose to Cash and got captured. Cash tied up me and the elf, then gathered his subordinates for a party right here to celebrate. Since everyone was so enthusiastic and brought lots of tree sap, the atmosphere naturally heated up, causing the venue to spin out of control. Later, the elves and I took advantage of the situation and punished them."

Theo looked regretful: "Did something like that really happen? I was out cold because of the ambush."

"Why do you two sound like you’re discussing a rave! Stop highlighting that you passed out from an ambush! Are you hoping to believe it by repeating it? Obviously, it was just a simple faint from falling, right?"

Lureya, cleaning the battlefield with a broom, couldn’t help but chime in.

Theo looked at Lureya with reverence, seriously bowing. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"I understand, honor elf. But I hope after returning to the village, you won’t forget the role I played in this battle."

"Absolutely zero!"

Soon, half of Yili Village’s residents came to help Lureya clean up the surrounding area.

Shami passed all the credit onto the flat golden blonde.

With the identity of the Elf Race, all present had no doubts, and thanked Lureya profusely.

"It’s, it’s nothing... a mere trifling effort..."

Lureya, having already taken out new clothes from her storage space and purified her body with the ’Self-Cleansing’ skill, stood with a fresh appearance before everyone, accepting their adoration.

"Indeed, easily killing a swordsman exiled for five years by the Adventurer’s Guild, the elf is truly a powerful figure of the Elf Race!"

"Not at all..." Lureya felt slightly guilty.

"Please allow us to build a chapel for you in the center of the village, so our descendants can memorialize you."

"Let’s not do that haha, why do I sound like I died... (awkward)"

"We have several young men in the village who admire you greatly; if you don’t mind, they would like to serve you."

"... Sorry, I appreciate the goodwill, but adventurers of the Elf Race are used to venturing alone."

After accompanying the villagers through their passionate worship sessions, Lureya finally had a chance to rest.

To be honest, seventy percent of the credit for the victory in this battle went to Shami.

She looked at Shami standing quietly among the crowd not far away, who was quietly watching her.

Her pointed ears twitched, and her gem-like eyes blinked before avoiding eye contact, a sly smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

What a thrilling battle it was, recalling it felt as though it had just happened.

Such intense, exhilarating life and death moments never occurred in the Elf Forest.

She felt the urge to tightly embrace the handsome youth.

The golden-haired girl’s toe slowly drew circles on the ground.

Curious about how the handsome youth ultimately triumphed over Cash... surely it was a spectacular scene!

[Affection +5]

[Loyalty +5]

[Affection: 20]

[Loyalty: 15]

Standing quietly behind the crowd, Shami frowned slightly.

Only a slight increase?

The flat golden blonde is hard to woo!

But quite a fruitful achievement nonetheless...

...

The chopped-down maple trees were dragged back to the village as firewood, and Cash and his subordinates’ bodies were transported back by cart, fully entrusted to Lureya, with the remaining matters involving site cleaning.

"What is all this sticky stuff?"

"What is it, glue?"

The well-informed old village chief Lugo touched some, brought it to his nose, and quickly identified it.

"This viscous stuff... is it tree sap?"

The old village chief frowned.

"But this area’s maple trees don’t produce sap. Such a large quantity of sap can only be seen when I followed heroes to slay a group of slimes when I was young..."

Shami’s forehead slightly sweated.

"Chief, you wouldn’t understand. This sap was brought by Cash and his people to host a rave. It seems the culture of the exiled swordsmen is filled with such practices." Theo added earnestly, "After all, I helped quite a bit in the battle, so I know some details."

The village chief opened his usually squinted eyes a bit wider.

"Oh~ always learning... truly learning something..."

"..."

Shami wiped the sweat off her brow.

Can’t underestimate Theo, surely a key player who performs in specific occasions!

As everyone headed back to the village, it was already dusk, the setting sun casting shadows all over the maple forest with the sky full of fiery clouds.

Being part of the team, Shami couldn’t use the teleportation gate, obediently staying within the crew, yet it was an honor being allowed to share a cart with Lureya.

Originally, Theo could have shared this glory, but he refused sternly.

"Sorry, I don’t want the widow by the village entrance to misunderstand."

"Who’s bothered by that! Even if you get up here, I’d kick you off!"

In the end, Shami and Lureya shared the carriage compartment.

Both sat at opposite ends, neither speaking, causing a silent atmosphere inside while the sounds of the carriage wheels crunching the ground and villagers chatting occasionally drifted in.

Shami was deep in contemplation.

With the exiled swordsman incident resolved, there was a period of stable growth ahead.

However, as time went by, he had more and more issues to consider.

Firstly, how to deal with the increasing number of slimes.

Secondly, when to revive the second monster.

Thirdly, how to improve his lack of knowledge, enhancing his intellectual and combat abilities. He couldn’t always rely on raves as ultimate techniques; not everyone was like Cash.

And matters like when to go to the Adventurer’s Guild for bounty redemption on Cash, how to sell off Cash’s weaponry, etc...

Overall, there were many, many things to ponder.

Lureya noticed Shami hadn’t spoken, his eyes staring blankly at the carriage floor, precisely where her feet were.

She quietly pulled her feet together, while Shami continued staring.

What’s the deal... staring at a girl’s feet... stealing glances so blatantly! Go back and study on how to sneak peeks at girls’ feet without getting caught!

The golden-haired elf coughed lightly, Shami remained motionless.

Lureya’s expression froze briefly.

Didn’t hear?

Could he be tired?

Indeed, in the battle with Cash, although she was attacking head-on, her energy depleted quickly, and Shami not only was the strategist but also took on the main output later.

Well, considering today’s excellent performance, she’ll let his clumsy peeking antics slide...
