LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
To be honest, when faced with a request like this, most people simply wouldn’t be able to refuse.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Red was the same.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After hesitating for a moment, he still chose to sit down beside Litt.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He seemed a little tense, but his eyes kept straying to places he shouldn’t be looking.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That lunchbox was resting right on Litt’s white-silk-clad thighs…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No, no, no—what are you even thinking about?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Red quickly shook his head, trying to shake out those messy thoughts from his mind.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
They both came from the church, after all—even if one was from the White Church, and the other from the Holy Church.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But the almost transparent aura of sanctity that lingered around Litt, like an invisible barrier, made it nearly impossible to have even the slightest profane thought about her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Compared to Letia, that toe-scratching priestess.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Sigh…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just thinking of Letia, Red couldn’t help but sigh to himself.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
How can there be such a huge difference between people?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Please, help yourself.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Litt handed Red his portion of dinner.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“No need to be so polite with me.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…Sometimes I really don’t know how to thank you.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Litt kept that pure, spotless smile on her face.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“So I said, really, don’t mention it.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After a few brief words, the two began quietly enjoying their dinner.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even though this place was full of dust and mess, it really didn’t look romantic at all.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But Litt knew, for someone like Red—or rather, for most men—a girl willing to step into his messy present, fight alongside him, and share in the dust and toil, would touch the softest part of his heart far more than a delicate candlelit dinner ever could.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Well, you could say that’s the wisdom from a previous life—after all, only someone who’s been a man would truly know what men actually need.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The reason the white moon is the white moon is precisely because of that sense of “so close, yet forever out of reach.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Just as the script revealed, “Litt” would always be that bright moon hanging in the sky for Red, never the hearth fire within arm’s reach.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Maintaining this delicate balance—close but not too close—was just right.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Giving warmth, yet never crossing the line.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And, most importantly…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Teasing Red was actually pretty fun.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Is there something on my face?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Red noticed Litt had stopped moving, her eyes fixed on him, and felt a little embarrassed for no reason.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It’s nothing,” Litt came back to her senses.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I just thought, Red, maybe your face is really popular with the girls.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Red chuckled in spite of himself and shook his head, saying no more.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If he really was that popular, he wouldn’t have been treated so coldly back in Dawn’s Edge, would he?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Once the meal was over, Litt packed up the lunchboxes and began tidying up the shop.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Since Red had already cleaned up a fair bit before, there wasn’t too much left to do.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And Red tried his best not to let Litt carry anything heavy.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After all, with that petite figure of hers, she really did look as frail as a feather—like one wooden plank could flatten her.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But maybe because Litt was around, Red—usually already quick and efficient—put even more effort in today.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With Litt helping out by his side, it took only two hours to clear away almost all the miscellaneous junk from the shop.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After a bit of simple renovation, it would be ready to open for business.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It’s getting a bit late, Red. Let’s head back for now,” Litt stretched her tired body a bit.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You picked a great spot for this shop—it’s right next door to my place.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Mm… Mm?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Red suddenly realized something was off.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He turned to look out the window.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Sure enough, not far from here was that all-too-familiar house.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A suspicion crept into Red’s mind, so he took out the Rental Contract Elliean had given him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
On his way over, Letia’s nonsense had distracted him, and he never had the chance to check who the landlord was for this shop.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Driven by that suspicion, Red slowly opened the Rental Contract.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And right there, in the section for the landlord, was written—the name “Otto.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Red turned his gaze to Litt, who was happily humming an unknown tune and bobbing her head.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His mouth twitched uncontrollably several times.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So she’s happy because her “trap has worked”?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
As expected, this seemingly pure and innocent white-robed nun… was hiding quite the background.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Without realizing it, he owed her another favor.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But since he had already accepted her kindness, Red could only resign himself and say to Litt,
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Litt… Sometimes, I really don’t know how to thank you.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“…?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Litt, who was just happy about getting off work, froze when she heard this.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She tilted her head slightly, her clear, guileless eyes suddenly filled with question marks.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
***
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In the days that followed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Red was extremely busy.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
On the one hand, the Gilded Chamber of Commerce was currently slow at making Bloodhunting Spiders, so Red was researching how to break down the production process and create a proper assembly line.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
On the other hand, he was helping Letia with her battle plans.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
At the same time, the shop was being prepared, and he was looking for the right time to hold a simple opening ceremony…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So many things piled up at once, there was simply no way to keep up with everything.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Still, even like this, it was much easier than back at Dawn’s Edge.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But when he looked at the Photo on the desk, Red couldn’t help but sigh.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No matter what, he had promised the other party—so the things he’d agreed to do, he would do.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And as far as Red knew, Dawn’s Edge was set to head back into the dungeon in about a week.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A week—barely enough time to survey the twenty-fourth floor, and, with the information he’d gathered from other adventurer parties who’d been there, put together a new battle plan.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But with the dungeon’s “refresh mechanism,” organizing all the information wouldn’t be simple.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The most important thing was, back when he was still with Dawn’s Edge, he’d already collected a fair amount of data on the twenty-fourth floor.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So it would be much easier.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But even so, it was still a thankless task.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And Red was very clear on one thing.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After this, he probably wouldn’t be able to help them anymore.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Because beyond the twenty-fourth floor, he really hadn’t explored at all—it was truly uncharted darkness for him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Drafting a so-called “strategy” without any intel was the height of irresponsibility.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If something really went wrong, he wouldn’t be able to bear that responsibility.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So, this plan—this would probably be his last contribution to Dawn’s Edge.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
From now on, there wouldn’t be much of a connection anymore.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No—wait, he’d still have to chase down the money owed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Come to think of it, how much did Letia owe him at this point?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Could he even keep track anymore?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Red looked at the bonus Photo on his desk, feeling a strange thrill—those white stockings really were surprisingly tempting.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Why didn’t he feel the urge to charge right in?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Red’s fingers absentmindedly rubbed his chin.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Hiss~
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Honestly, would any normal person ever feel anything toward a monkey?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But those white stockings really were enticing.
