Chapter 240: Where Are You From?

At that moment, Ymir also realized that Letia was not a boy.

She bowed repeatedly, apologizing over and over.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

Watching the girl apologize so persistently, Letia pressed a hand to her forehead and sighed.

“Forget it, forget it. I won’t hold it against you. I’m just puzzled. I have long hair, so why did you think I was a boy?”

Letia was wearing a Priestess Robe, but she had long hair, and her appearance and voice were both quite feminine.

‘It’s not like you can actually tell someone’s gender just by the thickness of their front armor, right?’

Ymir scratched her cheek, looking a bit embarrassed.

“Well… in this world, having long hair doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a woman. In the several hundred years I’ve spent in the Dungeon, I’ve seen male Adventurers who look just like women.”

Letia was momentarily speechless.

Red, however, added bluntly and rudely,

“It might be because the way you talk and your personality don’t make you look like a girl. After all, what kind of girl would invite a man to Succubus Street?”

Hearing Red’s words, Ymir nodded in deep agreement.

Nonetheless, her spirits lifted slightly upon discovering a fellow countryman.

She had also found a personal goal for herself: to research a way to return to her original world.

After all, judging by the white-haired little sister in front of her, there had to be more than just two people who had come to this Other World.

“We’ve been talking for so long, and I forgot to introduce us.”

While Ymir was thinking, Letia patted Red on the shoulder and said to her,

“My name is Letia, and I’m a Priest for now. This man beside me is Red. You can be 100 percent certain about him; as long as you take off your White Stockings, he won’t have even a shred of desire for you.”

“Hey.”

Red’s mouth twitched.

He didn’t even know where to begin complaining.

Ymir looked at Red with a half-understanding gaze.

The moment her eyes met his, she subconsciously pressed down on her skirt.

After all, she was currently wearing White Stockings.

“I… I’m Ymir.”

“Well, no need for more small talk. If there’s anything else you want to say, why don’t we head back first?”

Though Letia looked very young, her speech and mannerisms were those of an elder.

She even seemed a bit more mature than Red.

The three of them returned to Nightbright Town.

Although she had just moved past her despair, Ymir’s mental state didn’t seem as bad as one might imagine.

She looked around Red’s small Weapon Shop, her eyes filled with curiosity.

“Is this your first time in a place like this?”

“Yes…”

Ymir nodded.

Even though they were both transmigrators, she had apparently been a woman in her previous life, so she seemed a bit reserved.

In contrast, Letia was sitting with her legs crossed, holding a glass of beer. She seemed a bit too uninhibited.

“Um… Miss Letia, your… panties…”

Ymir’s voice trailed off.

She glanced at Red, who was busy in the Kitchen not far away, her meaning clear.

“There are other people here.”

“Oh, you mean this?”

Letia took a gulp of beer and said nonchalantly,

“Anyway, he and I have already seen everything. He knows my depths, and I know his lengths, so don’t worry about it too much.”

These words shocked Ymir even more.

“Could it be that you two…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Letia nodded with absolute certainty, using a deceptive tone.

“It’s exactly what you’re thinking.”

Upon hearing this, Ymir lowered her head, looking somewhat disappointed.

Letia took all of this in.

The… whatever it was called, that Observation Ability in her mind, which was actually very similar to a Script, was still functioning.

Although many things remained unexplained, it was undeniable that the Ice Witch named Ymir in front of her was actually one of the heroines who would end up with Red in the future.

If Letia’s arrival hadn’t interrupted Red’s next move, then the guy currently busy in the Kitchen would likely have jumped into the sea right in front of Ymir.

Seeing that, Ymir would have been so dazed and shocked that she would have jumped in after him to save him.

However, she couldn’t swim.

Amidst the suffocation and pain, she would have gradually sunk.

When she woke up again, she would have found herself back on the beach with Red by her side.

After experiencing the feeling of death, she would have indeed abandoned the idea of giving up on life, but at the same time, she would have developed a slight crush on Red.

‘Well… in a sense, it’s a very classic novel trope.’

To this day, Letia hadn’t figured out how this strange ability in her mind worked.

She could only grope her way through it, peeking at its logic bit by bit.

‘Or rather… was Otto’s guess actually wrong? Do I really exist in some webnovel, and is Red the protagonist of that book?’

Regardless, Letia certainly wouldn’t allow any unnecessary affection to develop between Red and this Ice Witch.

‘So what if I’m territorial?! I’m not eating your family’s rice.’

“Let’s get back to the point,” Letia said, setting down her empty glass.

“Where are you from?”

This time, Letia used the Mandarin of her previous life.

It sounded somewhat similar to the language of this world, but the pronunciation was different.

Red, who was not far away, couldn’t understand what Letia was saying at all.

Ymir hesitated for a moment after hearing Letia’s words before finally speaking.

“Jiangliu City.”

“Jiangliu City, huh…”

Letia seemed to remember something and couldn’t help but tease,

“I heard your place is badly haunted.”

“No, no, those are just rumors. Besides, how can there be ghosts in this world?”

Ymir scratched her head awkwardly.

There were indeed many strange rumors like that in her previous life.

However, seeing was believing, and having grown up in Jiangliu City, she had never seen anything ghostly.

Stopping the topic that was damaging her hometown’s reputation, Ymir asked Letia,

“What about you?”

“I’m from Guangdong. It’s quite far from your place.”

Though they were from distant locations, the expression on Ymir’s face relaxed significantly.

“I really didn’t expect it,” the blue-haired girl said with a bright smile.

“To think there are others sent here besides me. It makes me feel much more at ease.”

At this point, Ymir seemed to think of something.

She shared her goal and future plans with Letia.

“Letia, I plan to go back to my original world. What about you?”
