Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

“Okay!” Layton, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, raised his fist.

“Mm.” An Yi nodded.

Miluko: "..."

Thinking about it... I think Silvermoon Fortress is still safer!

If a weapon with 50 resilience is smashed to pieces, then if I get bumped into something, I'll turn into powder!

"Where's Miluko? You seem to have something to say?" Lycorina looked at Miluko.

Miluko: "Ah... I, I have no objection!"

Lycorina: "That's good!"

……

After a satisfying dinner, it was time to say goodbye.

Tonight is her last night in the city. Lycorina is going back to organize a farewell ceremony with her followers, meaning she can't just leave without a word.

Layton naturally wanted to go back and spend the night with his wife and daughters.

Milu can sleep soundly for the last time after the big scare.

An Yi also decided to go to bed early, thinking that she probably wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep for a while after leaving.

Before leaving, An Yi and her family saw the four of them off at the door.

Watching Lycorina board the carriage, watching Miluko disappear into the shadows of the street.

Layton and Assell, finding they shared similar tastes, chatted happily for a while, and finally parted ways amidst laughter.

However, before leaving, Lulu took Lady's hand, slowed her pace, and looked back at the location where Annie's family was.

Annie noticed the little one's gaze, smiled, took two steps forward, and squatted down: "What's wrong? Is Lulu going to stay at your sister's house to sleep tonight? Your sister would love to have her!"

"You're welcome to stay tomorrow, or the day after!"

The four members of the Saintess Squad are leaving, while Lady and her daughter, as well as Axel and his family of three, will continue to live in this city, as they will inevitably run into each other again.

Lulu shook her head, then turned to look in the direction of An Yi and the other two.

To be precise, he focused his gaze on An Yi, his small, dark eyes fixed on him.

Lady also crouched down behind her, placed her hands on her shoulders, and said softly, "Lulu, is there something bothering you?"

"Hmm..." Lulu glanced back at her mother, then at Annie, and finally fixed her gaze on Annie.

An Yi was also looking at her.

I don't know why, but this little girl was always afraid of Lu. Maybe she was too ugly in Lu's eyes? That scared the little girl?

Or perhaps it's simply that she has no expression, which makes her look strange?

An expressionless face can indeed make people uneasy, especially children. It's normal for them to feel scared when they see a cold, expressionless face.

As if she had made up her mind, the little girl walked towards An Yi, her eyes still filled with confusion, but she knew she was about to do something important.

Finally, Lulu walked up to An Yi amidst everyone's gentle and encouraging gazes.

An Yi didn't know what the other person wanted to do, but she wanted to show that she was a good person.

"Is there anything else...?"

"Oh, you don't have to pay for meals at our house. If Mom's cooking is too bad, come eat here next time," An Yi said, half-squatting down without any emotion.

Lady: "What are you talking about with my daughter? What daughter would complain about her mother's cooking?"

Also, can I eat here again next time?

Layton: "Lady!!"

Annie: "Of course!"

Elsa: "Yes, you're welcome."

Lady: "Thank you so much."

Layton covered his forehead and smiled wryly: "Sigh..."

Asel coughed twice: "Ahem! Alright, don't interrupt the little guy!"

Everyone fell silent, somewhat awkwardly.

Hearing that the surroundings had finally quieted down, Lulu remembered what she was supposed to do.

Then, she bowed slightly, politely lowered her head to An Yi, and finally shouted in her tender childish voice—

"Goodbye brother!"

After saying that, she quickly turned around and trotted back behind her mother, hiding to observe An Yi's reaction.

"Ah." An Yi was taken aback at first, then stiffly raised her hand and waved, "Ah, um, goodbye."

Lulu smiled happily and waved to An Yi, "Goodbye, brother!"

As Q watched the Layton family of three leave, Annie still stood there, her hand raised in a daze.

U-Ann walked over to An-Yi and nudged him with her elbow.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked with a smile.

An Yi: "I'm thinking, if Mom and Dad try harder, it would be nice to have a little sister, she'd be so cute."

Annie: "Isn't having a sister enough?!"

Having a cute little sister is great!

Pa An-yi: "Heh. (Without emotion)"

Annie: "Did she laugh or not?!"

Two days have passed since the Saintess Squad left the city and headed to Svi City.

Looking at the empty store, Sanmeier couldn't help but feel melancholy.

This is not just the shop she runs, but also the place where she grew up.

The previous shop owner was her mother. Succubi have a longer lifespan than humans, and their appearance hardly changes with age. Therefore, every thirty years, succubi must relocate to another city.

Even a teenager will become a middle-aged man after thirty years.

Assuming the succubus was a teenage girl when she "took up her post," she would be a beautiful woman thirty years later, according to human understanding.

If I don't leave soon, people will definitely think I'm an ageless monster, right?

There are still a few years until Mel's 30th birthday, so she also has to groom her own successor.

However, due to An Yi's arrival, both his subordinates and confidants have now left the city in different directions.

For the future of the succubi, and for their ordinary aspirations, the succubi went to other cities.

but……

Mel is different.

She kept thinking about how to become An Yi's helper.

Fight? Go to the battlefield and use your charm abilities to disrupt the demons?

While that way they can stay with their owner at all times, their usefulness is limited, and they can only influence a few things.

The master probably doesn't need an assistant, right?

After all, there are already enough heroes of all kinds, and some are even more powerful than succubi.

Besides fighting, can you also... make money?

There's no need for that.

After all, the entire human territory supports the hero. Even if she makes money, it can't compare to the national strength of various countries, and it's not even icing on the cake.

"Besides that, what other advantages do I have?" Qi

Mel thought so.

I thought about it for two days and two nights.

During this time, she already knew that An Yi had left, and An Yi had made it clear that she would not travel with her, so she did not take the carriage to chase after her.

However, in the last couple of days, she suddenly understood. (Jiu)

Her advantage is...

Demon race. Cat

She is a demon. (Note: The last line appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)

Moreover, she speaks the language of the demons. Ling

Although she was located in the heart of human territory and had no contact with the demon race, it didn't mean she couldn't take the initiative to interact with other demons.

So... returning to the Demon Realm to gather intelligence and then bringing it to my master might be my greatest value!

To this end, Mel devised a highly feasible plan.

Now, prepare to execute!

"Click."

The shop door opened, and a burly man walked in from outside.

"Shopkeeper, the carriage you asked us to prepare is ready."

He was a mercenary in the area, usually responsible for escorting caravans. He was accompanied by a whole squad of mercenaries.

The succubus's body is very weak, so more people are needed to protect her from danger on the road.

An Yi said that heroes will fight against demons, so when moving around in the human world, one should minimize contact with the outside world to avoid being recognized as a succubus.

After all, humans can be bewitched by charm, but heroes cannot.

She has already tested it on Annie and Layton.

Mel used his charm to subdue the mercenaries, so he could have them do whatever he needed to do in the future, thus reducing his need to contact the outside world as often.

“Yes, let’s go.” Mel smiled sweetly. “Heading to the border of human territory.”
