Chapter 61 - Chapter 61: Thank You... For Saving Me

With the help of Eina and Hayasaka Ai, the girl was moved to the Guild's resting room.

"Ai, what floor did you find her on?"

"Floor 7. We found her on our way back. And we think we heard other voices, so it seems this girl was abandoned."

Hayasaka Ai quickly and briefly explained the circumstances of finding the girl in a few sentences.

"How awful... Orario always has such irresponsible adventurers!"

Eina was immediately furious upon hearing this. If she hadn't lacked the strength herself, she probably would have wanted to personally teach those people a lesson.

See? They sent an adventurer girl to her death among the monsters, and Eina only wished to teach them a lesson.

If this girl had been a member of the Lin Feng Familia or the Loki Familia, the adventurers who abandoned her would have suffered a much worse fate.

Of course, the most important factor here was the strength difference between the two sides.

If they could achieve crushing dominance like the Loki Familia, then no one would dare question them.

But for the Lin Feng Familia, the schemes of the Apollo Familia haven't even been fully resolved yet. This was also a point Lin Feng had considered: there was a gap in strength between the two sides, and he couldn't possibly send his adorable Familia girls to their deaths.

"Mmm... Ingh…"

The Dwarf girl, who had just been laid down on the bed by Hayasaka Ai and Eina, was showing signs of waking up.

"Wha... Where is this?"

The girl's voice sounded young, suggesting she wasn't very old.

Due to the nature of the Dwarf race, it was difficult to tell their exact age from their appearance, especially if they had delicate and cute features.

"This is the Adventurers' Guild rest room!"

Eina quickly came to the bedside and spoke softly.

"Adv... Adventurers'... Guild…"

"Eh! Eh!!"

The girl murmured Eina's words. A few seconds later, she suddenly sat up, nearly bumping into Eina, who was sitting beside her.

"What's wrong? Little sister, could you please lie down and rest first?"

Eina reached out to help the suddenly sitting girl and spoke soothingly.

"Who... Who saved me…"

"It was Hayasaka Ai and the others. They are members of the Lin Feng Familia!"

Faced with the girl's confused and sad eyes, Eina quickly brought up Hayasaka Ai's group.

"Th-Thank you for saving me."

"My name is Liliruca Erde. I am... I am a supporter of the Soma Familia."

Lili, lying on the bed, slowly recovered. She first thanked Hayasaka Ai's group for saving her life, then stated her identity.

"Soma Familia?"

Eina felt a little strange upon hearing this Familia's name. Sometimes, she would often see members of the Soma Familia shouting at the Fáli exchange counter.

They would say things like, 'Is this all we earned today?' In short, they seemed to be desperately short of money.

After a little investigation, she learned that most Soma Familia members were addicted to alcohol and desperately wanted to enjoy the Divine Wine brewed by their G.od. However, the price was extremely expensive, so they resorted to all sorts of methods to raise money.

Sometimes, she would hear conversations among adventurers, such as the Soma Familia bullying adventurers from smaller Familias and squeezing the already scarce Fáli from them.

Within the Familia, the relationship was also one of systematic oppression.

"Eina, what about the Soma Familia?"

Hayasaka Ai was unfamiliar with this obscure Familia. Recently, their spare time had been dedicated to learning about the Apollo Familia.

Hearing Hayasaka Ai's question, Eina shared what she knew about the Soma Familia.

"A Familia like that actually exists?"

Hayasaka Ai looked completely incredulous after hearing the story! Is that how the Head G.od manages the Familia? This is essentially raising a bunch of addicts!

After Eina's repeated confirmation, Hayasaka Ai could only accept that this was the reality.

However, as the two of them were discussing the Soma Familia, Lili on the bed suddenly shivered, secretly glanced at them, and then quickly looked away.

In Lili's mind, adventurers were all bad people! But... why would this adventurer, referred to as 'Ai,' save her when she was so close to death?

Did Lili still have some use?

This little girl, whose heart had been thoroughly broken by the adventurers within her Familia, would view any action taken by an adventurer toward her with suspicion and malicious intent.

And her suspicion was confirmed by experience. This was easily the tenth or twentieth time... almost every time adventurers encountered danger, they would abandon her to hold the rear while they fled in panic to the surface.

But... if it weren't for the beautiful girl in front of her saving her today, she wouldn't know which monster's stomach she would be inside right now.

"Lili, how are you feeling? I still have a bottle of healing potion here. If you feel unwell, you can use it anytime, okay? My companions and I are heading back now."

"Eina-neechan, I'll leave things here to you!"

Hayasaka Ai quickly left the room to meet up with Kanao and the others to head home.
