Chapter 71 - Really? They won't laugh at me...
Halfway through her speech, Airmid and the girls of the Astraea Familia in front of her exchanged a silent glance, falling into an eerie silence.
Although the sun was shining brightly and people were bustling outside, the reception area inside the Pharmacy was eerily quiet, as if the air had been frozen by magic.
Airmid scanned the group of girls in front of her..
Maryuu was a female with long, deep blue hair and an incredibly attractive figure.
Iska was the most girlish member of the Astraea Familia.
Asta Knox...a cute girl like her.
And then there's Ryu, the elf who only exchanged a few words with Airmid.
Oh right, the Astraea Familia came to buy potions needed for the expedition about two weeks ago, after the attack on the food distribution on North Street was resolved. Judging by the time, it is indeed about time for them to end their expedition and return.
However, perhaps her own life would also come to an end...
Recalling the words she had just blurted out, Airmid felt all the blood rushing to her face. Without looking in a mirror, Airmid was certain her face was redder than blood. At that moment, Airmid wished she could just faint. However, her body completely defied her will, stubbornly remaining conscious but completely unable to move.
Seeing Airmid's embarrassment, Maryuu, who possessed the same mature demeanor as her outrageously good figure, smiled slightly and turned to the members of her Familia.
"I need to discuss this with Airmid. You guys go and see if there's anything else you need to buy. The Dian Cecht Familia doesn't just have potions, they have a lot of other good stuff too. You can buy some as a reward for ending this arduous expedition."
Looking at Airmid, whose face was flushed and eyes were brimming with tears, the girls of the Astraea Familia couldn't help but feel a surge of affection. She even sleeps with a doll at night. No matter how serious she is, she's still a little girl. After exchanging glances, the girls suppressed their smiles and dispersed.
"Airmid, it's okay. It's not a strange habit to like hugging something while sleeping."
This voice was slow and gentle, yet possessed a powerful, calming magic..in short, it was synonymous with motherhood. Even Airmid, who felt her soul was being burned by shame, was healed by the voice and barely managed to wake up.
Huh? They just think I like hugging stuffed toy?
"Really? They won't laugh at me..."
A dazed Airmid looked to the side and found that Maryuu had entered the counter area and was standing beside her. However, even if Airmid tilted her head back, it was difficult to see Maryuu's expression.. all she could see was her long, dark blue hair. Aside from the height difference, the more important reason was that this woman, who was bestowed the alias Demi Virgo by the gods, possessed a figure that matched her temperament...
No! It should be said that this is a massive mountain that far exceeds the normal size! Of all the bust sizes that Airmid has ever seen, Maryuu definitely ranks in the top three! Especially for Airmid, who was looking up at her from below, those two full breasts, which seemed about to burst out of her clothes, were like two mountains pressing down on her vision!
Staring blankly, Airmid subconsciously looked down, and her gaze fell unobstructed on her toes. Under the immense shock of being completely defeated in terms of fundamental feminine charm, Airmid's feelings of embarrassment and shame vanished. Despite the age gap, Airmid had no confidence she could ever catch up with Maryuu.
Okay, there's no time to be shy right now.
Maryuu didn't notice that the girl's mood had changed so drastically. She found a chair, sat down, stretched her sore shoulders, cupped her ample breasts in her hands, lifted them up, and then slammed them down on the table.
"Mmm, that feels so good~~"
Under Airmid's almost listless gaze, Maryuu revealed a relieved and contented expression, followed by a thoughtful look.
"Ryu and Noin are good girls, why would they laugh at Airmid? Besides, they probably don't have time for that right now. Last night, almost everyone stayed up…"
Before Maryuu's eyes, the image of the boy fighting Goliath alone vaguely appeared.
We initially thought he was a first-class adventurer, but he suddenly told us he was a rookie who had just received his Falna. How is that possible? He must be joking!
If someone were to tell them that a rookie who just received his Falna was able to take on a Floor Boss single handedly, the girls of the Astraea Familia would simply dismiss it as a silly joke from a tavern. But perhaps because everyone was so shocked by that scene, almost everyone wanted to rush to the Loki Familia and ask for an explanation. Last night, if it weren't for the intervention of Ryana and Astraea, things probably would have turned ugly.
Even so, Maryuu was certain that most of them had probably not slept all night. This was evident from the fact that almost everyone was yawning this morning... However, Ryu seemed unaffected, and her energy was high, which was somewhat unexpected for Maryuu.
Because Maryuu knew why the usually composed Noin had suddenly become so enthusiastic towards the swordsman Noah yesterday. Unlike Kaguya, who excelled in close-quarters, and Ryu, who was skilled in concurrent chanting, Noin did not possess any outstanding abilities. To put it nicely, she was well-rounded; to put it bluntly, she was average. Although she was an essential link between the vanguards and supporters, Noin must also have longed for the moment when she could roam the battlefield and defeat enemies herself.
Perhaps it was in that swordsman that Noin projected the image of herself she could not achieve, which made her so excited. While Kaguya, Alise, Neze, and Iska were in a slightly better state, Maryuu knew that they were probably just as excited.
