Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 41: Childhood Sweethearts

"Sha, Shami?"

Noticing that the boy in front of her hadn’t moved for a while, staring at her intently, Lina took a nervous step back.

It’s only been a year and a half, have you completely forgotten me...

"How could I forget you?"

Shami reconnected, smiling somewhat stiffly.

"I didn’t expect you to... have changed quite a bit..."

"Have, have I... It’s just been a year and a half since we met... There is indeed a bit of change... Folks in the adventurer group often say, a girl changes eighteen times as she grows..."

The tension on Lina’s little face turned to excitement, and she blinked her eyes bashfully, wrapping the white strand of hair in front of her chest around her finger, swirling it round and round.

"That’s not even it, it’s like your hair even changed color... it’s like you have a whole new head..."

Lina’s eyes dimmed a little, seemingly recalling the adventurous journey she had been on for the past year and a half.

"So many things happened in this year and a half; I don’t even know where to start..."

So, they know each other?

On the side, a blonde girl’s eyes constantly darted back and forth between Shami and Lina.

Shami glanced over, ever since the affection level dropped to 10, the cloud of gloom on the flat-haired blonde’s face never disappeared.

But right now is not the time to deal with you, elf!

Shami’s attempts to understand Lina from the game’s perspective completely failed.

However, Shami quickly accepted the reality, being used to the bizarre settings in this game.

Lina, whether it’s a redo or a massive change, as long as it has little to do with him, the Demon King, it’s fine.

Although they had spent quite a bit of time together a year and a half ago, back then his focus was on earning a dowry for an exotic bride. Now, those insignificant memories were almost completely forgotten.

The main reason is that there wasn’t much worth remembering at that time, the daily grind of earning dowry money was just like working in the previous life, returning home and sleeping instantly.

Returning to reality, being able to see this girl healthy and alive, regardless of how the year and a half outside treated her, as a good villager of Yili Village, one should warmly welcome a villager returning home.

He gave Lina a warm smile.

"Anyway, welcome home, traveler."

"Mm!"

The white-haired girl beamed a bright smile, and the next moment, her stomach rumbled loudly, causing her whole red face to bury down in embarrassment.

"Sorry, I haven’t eaten in a long time..."

"It’s fine. I am making barbecues, and there are plenty of ingredients; you’ll be able to eat soon."

Shami sensed the ingredients in the Demon King Ring, although the flat-haired blonde ate a lot, there were still some left.

"Um, is, is there, a bathhouse nearby? I want to wash up first; it’s been so long since I bathed..."

Lina swallowed, her lips quivered a little, making her speech somewhat inarticulate.

After all, this past month, the girl basically hadn’t spoken with anyone, either being lost or on her way to being lost.

"There isn’t. It is five kilometers away from the village here."

Shami smiled politely, suppressing the instinct to open a Teleportation Gate to send the white-haired girl back to the village.

"Then how about I wash in this lake..."

Lina pointed to the clear small lake not far from the barbecue charcoal pile.

Eating barbecue while smelling stinky would definitely make the meat stink too. Furthermore, not having a bath in a month, the body really itches a lot.

"If you don’t mind, of course, you can."

"Then I’m going..."

The white-haired girl trotted to the lakeside.

Although bathing outdoors isn’t a good idea, having the risk of being peeped on or attacked, as an Adventurer, it’s not as if there is a comfy bathhouse to enjoy every day.

Outdoor adventures are not like outings, many times there is nowhere to bathe.

In the past year and a half, creating fog using a Fog Magic Scroll bought in town to block visibility and washing in a small lake encountered by chance; or using the fairly expensive ’Little Lotus Shower’ Magic Scroll as a water source for bathing were the two most common methods Lina used to clean her body. freёnovelkiss.com

But in that battle, after being knocked away by the opponent laden with infinite sins, her already not-so-prosperous Storage Ring got shattered too, and all the items inside couldn’t be retrieved, leaving her with just a Long Sword and a few Gold Coins.

By the lakeside, the adventurous courage cultivated by the Adventurer nature soon suppressed the girl’s shyness, and Lina began taking off her clothes.

"Even though the human eye can see a two-hundred-and-ten-degree field of vision, I’m highly nearsighted, so I can’t see things beyond five meters clearly at all, so whatever direction I face doesn’t matter."

Shami sat on a small stool, intending to adjust his direction to enjoy the lake’s scenery.

"You’ve completely borrowed my excuse, haven’t you! Don’t so righteously peek!"

On the side, although still not clear on what’s going on, Lureya quickly turned Shami’s body straight.

"Concentrate on the barbecue, you fool!"

Lureya, while keeping an eye on Shami, glanced at the white-haired girl washing in the lake, her willow eyebrows slightly knitted.

"Shami, who is she?"

"A Hero who left the village to conquer the Demon King. I knew her before she left the village."

Shami’s answer was straightforward.

"Still, it doesn’t warrant hugging you as soon as she comes back, right?"

Lureya regarded Shami with suspicion.

"Lureya, one and a half years for a human is far longer than you think. From the looks of it, she probably came back with nothing, that’s why her emotions are so volatile."

Shami sighed.

Hearing this, Lureya started feeling sympathy for the girl.

After sternly warning Shami not to turn his head towards the lake or never get Aikoya Fruit again, she slowly walked over.

By the lake, Lina struggled to scrub the grime off her body with all her strength.

However, no matter how hard she scrubbed, she couldn’t seem to return her skin to its original color.

"Use this, rub it on the dirty spots. Elves love to use this as a bath gel."

Lureya crouched by the lakeside and tossed a small vial of dew to the white-haired girl a meter away from the shore.

Lina quickly caught it, and looking up at Lureya, her silver-white hair fanned out on the lake surface like a spider’s web along her swan-like neck. She was startled upon seeing Lureya’s pointed ears and golden hair.

"No need to be polite, after all, we’re both girls. I understand the frustration of not being able to get clean."

Lureya waved her hand slightly.

"And you are?"

"So you’ve been ignoring me just now! I’m such a big person standing here!"

"Sorry, sorry. Just a little joke, hehe~ Thank you very much! I’m Lina." The white-haired girl giggled foolishly, "I was just too excited... So you’re a Miss from the Elf Race... How beautiful you are..."

"Thanks."

Lureya propped her right hand on her face, half-jokingly responded.

Such praise from girls she had heard plenty of times, not as pleasant as the usual ’You did well, Lureya’ from a pretty boy.

"By the way, what is your relationship with Shami..."

She was still hung up on what happened earlier, elves are sensitive emotionally and physically, ordinary village relationships wouldn’t involve such intimacy.

Moreover, looking at the substantial blobby thing half-floating on the lake, Lureya got even more agitated.

They’re all fat, why is yours all there, go roll to the belly or some other place!

"My relationship with Shami is..."

Lina placed her small hand on her chest, bashfully gazed for a moment, her mouth curved into a confident arch.

"Childhood friends!"

[Affection Level: 10→5]

By the charcoal fire, Shami inhaled sharply.

The affection level is even lower than loyalty! Flat-haired blonde, what on earth are you up to!
