"Miss Tiona, may I ask why you are so anxious to find me?" Cael asked doubtfully. Had she really fallen for him at that time? After all, Amazon warriors admired the strong the most. But even if that was the case, normally one would not directly run to another Familia's camp alone.
"Hehe, it is great to see you again so soon, little madman." Tiona ran over innocently and without any restraint, hugging Cael's arm. The companions around them watched the two with meaningful smiles. Zenitsu stared with envy and jealousy, while Lili's face went stiff, as if she were ready to pull the Amazon girl away at any moment.
"Little madman, is that a special title for me?" Cael was a little embarrassed as his arm was held so enthusiastically. But even with his arm held, he did not feel anything. Well, there was nothing there. But what was with that title? Crazy guy. Did he look that arrogant in other people's eyes?
"Because every time I meet you, you are so powerful. Either you are fighting dozens of monsters alone, or you are beating monsters above your Level. You are very arrogant, so I call you crazy guy. Hehe," Tiona said without restraint.
"Is that so?" Cael's mouth twitched. Was he that crazy during battle? No, he did not think Tiona was truly obsessed with him. At most, she had a good impression. Her innocent personality simply made people misunderstand.
"Hey, Amazon, what are you here for? People from other Familias should not casually seduce the leader. Have some shame," Lili said, glaring at Tiona. Seeing that Tiona would not let go of Cael, Lili immediately tried to pull her arm away. But how could her strength move a top Lv. 5 adventurer?
"What a small Prum. I came to deliver healing potions to the crazy guy. I am not suspicious," Tiona said with a pout, then took healing potions from the small bag behind her.
"Hah! High-grade healing potions!" Lili's eyes widened instantly. Even Cael was a little stunned. Could she really give away high-grade healing potions so casually? Each bottle started at no less than one hundred thousand Valis. Altogether, this was worth over one million.
"What are your intentions? Even if you like Lord Cael, you only met once. How can you do this?" Lili instantly became vigilant. Excessive courtesy for no reason meant either betrayal or theft. If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
"No. The captain asked me to bring them to you. The captain said that you just arrived here and do not know the situation. Even the worst healing potion here costs at least thirty thousand Valis."
"Also, the fact that you did not immediately use healing potions at the beginning proves that you either do not have any or need to recover slowly. So the captain asked me to deliver these." Tiona spoke innocently, without thinking about why the captain would do this. As long as she felt it was right, she would do it. Thinking was tiring, so it was better to leave tiring things to the captain and the others.
"I see. Thank you, Tiona." Cael's eyes flickered, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he accepted the healing potions happily. Finn really lived up to his title. The Braver, the highest-level adventurer and strongest strategist of Orario, had realized the terrifying potential of every member of Hestia Familia and was taking the chance to make friends. Because they did not have high-grade healing potions, Hestia Familia was indeed in some difficulty.
To Loki Familia, high-grade healing potions were ordinary consumables, but to them, they were precious medicine. This was not adding flowers to brocade, but sending help in snow. At this moment, they would accept his kindness. Not only would it improve relations, it would also make them owe a favor. If Loki Familia asked for something in the future, it would be much easier to speak. So this was how schemers were. Their minds were dirty. However, since there was no malice, Cael accepted it.
This was what made Finn impressive. He could easily sell someone a favor.
"Hehe, although I really want to chat with little madman brother for a while, I also have a mission. When I come back from the expedition, let's go shopping together," Tiona said on her own initiative.
"Okay. I am looking forward to shopping with you too," Cael said with a smile. She was as innocent as a little sparrow and quite likable.
"Then goodbye, little madman." Tiona said this and jumped away. Watching Tiona's back disappear into the woods, Cael felt a little emotional. She really was an easy person to get along with. But anyone who underestimated her because of that would be a fool. After all, she came from a country that worshiped force.
"Here, give these to everyone. Your injuries should heal in a few minutes."
"We owe a large favor, but we will repay it properly in the future," Rengoku nodded and said. No one who could become a Hashira was foolish. They naturally understood the cause and effect. High-grade healing potions were different. Within a minute of drinking them, they had already taken effect on the body's injuries, whether external or internal. Although the injuries healed, the fatigue after battle did not recover. Before long, the world dimmed, as if night had arrived on the surface, surprising everyone.
But no one slept. After all, the Demon Slayer Corps fought demons at night, so perhaps they were used to not sleeping at night. They each found a quiet place to rest, and the tent was left for the only four girls in the team. Countless crystals protruding from the forest emitted a faint light, making the whole world seem like dream and illusion.
"So beautiful." Cael sat alone on a hill overlooking the adventurer town of Rivira. Leaning against a large tree, he stretched. At this moment, he enjoyed the tranquility very much. Since coming to this world, his memories had become quite interesting, and his pursuit had gradually become satisfying. But there was definitely no way to return to the surface in these two days. If Hestia knew he had led everyone to challenge the Middle Floors, who knew how anxious she would be?
No, she probably already knew and was running around anxiously right now. That made sense. They had met many groups of adventurers before reaching the Middle Floors. Hestia might now be trying to ask other Familias for help to bring them back safely. Hestia could be said to be the god who cared most about her family. But even if she found him, she probably would not blame him. At most, she would hide him away. At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Cael." Cael's eyes widened immediately, and he turned around reflexively. No way. Speak of the devil.
