After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Aiko frowned, "Amnesia?"

"When I woke up, I was already in White Dove City," Da said, "I want to know what happened in between!"

Lulu's eyes flickered, "Lorna and the others might know something."

Even though Lulu was kicked out of the team, she still kept an eye on every move of the Primitive Adventure Team.

The night Da disappeared, he entered the 30th floor of the World Tree with Lorna and other team members.

There, perhaps, lay all the answers.

"Lorna, huh..." Da pondered in his heart.

A crazy woman who must not be seen.

"Let's not talk about them, today is the White Thanksgiving."

Da looked at the others, "Since we're all together, let's have a party. You all must be hungry, right?"

There was no need to mention Lulu, who, contaminated and faint, had lain down for most of the day, not to mention being quite hungry.

Da and the others, after returning to White Dove City and busying themselves with this and that, hadn't had much to eat.

"I haven't eaten either." Aiko's eyes lit up, "Can I join your party?"

In the villa of Snow Goose, there was definitely no one, and Aiko didn't want to go back.

"Of course you can," Da said with a smile, "I've bought a lot of ingredients, having one more person is completely fine. "

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Aiko agreed gleefully.

The group went downstairs together and moved the food ingredients and a big pile of equipment from the carriage into the house.

Da busied himself in front of a simple stove, Monica came over dutifully to help, washing vegetables, passing seasonings, and looking forward eagerly with her little hands behind her back, blinking her eyes. When Da rubbed her little head, she couldn't help but giggle foolishly.

At the old small round table, Aiko, with her superb social skills, quickly hit it off with Kafni and Lulu.

At least on the surface.

Lulu was taciturn, usually Aiko asking and Lulu answering.

"How many years have you known Da?"

"Are you in a romantic relationship?"

"Your figure is so good, and your hair is so pretty, it must make boys unable to resist, right?"

Aiko insinuated to probe the relationship between Lulu and Da, whether they were lovers, whether they had done it or not.

Lulu's expression remained unchanged, although her cheeks felt a bit hot.

Thinking back to Da's treatment process just now.

She subconsciously touched her lips.

Seemingly still lingering on, the captain's taste?

Seeing this, Aiko understood everything.

Phew, good thing, she didn't use the other one.

A stroke of luck amid misfortune.

Aiko even scoffed at Lulu in her mind, living together and still not scoring, if it were her, she'd already have a bunch of kids.

At that moment, Aiko completely forgot, the three years Da had been with Snow Goose, he had only hugged her a few times, and that too as a teammate.

In terms of progress, not even close to 'mouth-to-mouth' Lulu.

With Aiko, the social butterfly, leading them, the three of them were actually having a good time chatting.

Aiko introduced Kafni to the specialty dishes of White Dove City, teaching Lulu how to pick out pretty clothes.

Occasionally glancing at Da, who was cooking in the distance.

The scent of the food drifted over.

It was a familiar scene.

They too had left behind laughter in this cheap rental house.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Aiko's head: when the Snow Goose Adventure Team was just formed, did she also treat Da as a servant?

Perhaps there was also an instant when she thought of Da, Lia, and Chloe as family.

But where were they now?

A trace of sadness flickered in Aiko's eyes.

Looking towards the bright moon outside the window.

At this time, Lia and the others were probably also looking at the same moon.

On Thanksgiving Day, it was the first time the members of Snow Goose spent it separately.

In Red Heart City, Lia was wearing a black crop top and sweating heavily doing sit-ups in her room.

"I won't lose, Snow Goose, definitely not....!"

She muttered something, gritting her teeth, each rise as if she was battling a magical creature.

Under the moonlight, Lia had completely forgotten about Thanksgiving, immersing herself fully in her training.

In White Dove City, in a large commercial arcade.

Lorna was all alone with a helmet equipped with an Illusion Magic Circle, immersed in the fake subjugation of magical creatures.

The illusion simulated a night-time prairie.

After defeating the last Goblin, Lorna lifted her head, her gaze lonely, looking towards the cold round moon overhead.

Thinking, let's go home and find Aiko.

It's dull being alone.

...

In the small rental house in Sparrow District, bursts of laughter and joy could be heard.

Aiko, somewhat tipsy, raised her cup of wheat beer, her voice a bit coarser than usual, "The next person who loses at rock-paper-scissors has to say who they like!"

"I, the mighty one... oops, I don't have anyone I like! But if I have to say, any woman would do!" Kafni, intoxicated, had a flushed face.

Monica sipped her drink in small gulps, sticking close to Da.

Lulu also drank quite a bit, whispering to Da.

"Thanks for earlier."

Referring to his purification of her contamination.

Da: "I'm the captain of Phoenix Tail Flower, isn't helping a teammate what I should do?"

"..."

"Hmph, you're just putting on an act." Lulu dazedly held her cup of wheat beer and muttered softly, "Maybe when we go to the higher levels, you won't need us anymore."

"That won't happen; haven't I assured you once already?" Da grasped Lulu's small hand and pulled it under the table.

The touch was very smooth, but cold without any warmth.

"What are you doing, let go!" Lulu glared at him with a faint anger.

"This is also for 'Purification'." Da smiled and released a faint green glow from his palm.
