[Occupation: Villager]
[Status: Excited! Really, really high and can’t be stopped!]
No way, what kind of status is this? This is totally the prelude to wanting to get it on, right? Are you really going to do it right here?
Shami frowned, unable to accept such a thing, and promptly slapped Theo.
"Sorry, sorry... I got a little too excited... Just thinking about going back and talking to the widow about this experience while getting it on, I’m already high in my head... She will definitely give up being dominant and turn submissive!"
"It sounds like you haven’t had a good time over there, Theo."
Shami looked over gently.
Then, he noticed that Theo seemed to have changed a lot. Ever since getting tangled with the widow, he never talked about watching the female adventurers outside the adventurer group anymore, so he probed further.
"Theo, didn’t you say before, if you had the chance, you would definitely watch the adventurer group and..."
"Shh! Shami, keep it down!" Theo panicked, "You can just handle this kind of thing by yourself! If people behind hear you, you’ll be dead."
"I’m worried about you!"
Theo shook his head, showing a look that had surpassed himself.
"Shami, only a fledgling boy would be obsessed with those things. I have transcended myself and am no longer obsessed with such low-level pleasures."
Listening to Theo, Shami swallowed.
He felt inexplicably lectured.
"The so-called peeping at the adventurer girls is just because they look youthful and cute, coinciding with the response to body hormones. But is a pretty girl really the only choice for hormones? Clearly not. All the small faces, thin waists, fair skin, and long legs look the same. They have no distinguishing features. Now, my hormones will no longer react to those young girls. Not an exaggeration to say, the three girls in the carriage are already outdated for a normal villager’s aesthetics. I don’t even feel like getting turned on. You should understand what I mean, right?"
Theo’s eyes were calm as water, gazing seriously.
"Understand what?! You’ve not just surpassed low-level pleasures; you’ve surpassed normal human aesthetics! Has long-term exposure to the widow caused your aesthetics to become skewed? Though your aesthetics were peculiar, to begin with. But now even your physical performance must have skewed!"
Shami retorted in a low voice.
Are the three beauties in the carriage really such minor figures in Theo’s eyes?
Clearly, they still attract him, so who is really being abnormal here?
"This is the difference between you and me, Shami. Why I managed to leave the fledgling stage early, while you have not even kissed a girl yet, is right here. Pretty girl resources are always scarce; not everyone can get them. When you understand my perspective and your obsession with pretty girls reduces or disappears, you’ll find that those non-scarce resources are everywhere, and all within easy reach."
"...In conclusion, you think because you can’t get pretty girls, your aesthetics have deviated, and after more than two months of adverse indulgence, you can’t go back now, right?"
"Humph, what an interesting philosophical conclusion, Shami. After following me and herding sheep for so long, you’ve finally learned a lot from me, right?"
Conclusion: Theo has completely lost interest in pretty girls now.
In the carriage, three girls curiously looked outside, shielded by the curtain.
"They’re so loud. What are they mumbling about? I can’t make out any of it,"
The white-haired girl sitting on the left whispered in the squared carriage.
"They must be excited. Villagers are like that, never seen much of the world. Being able to travel, they must be very happy."
The blond girl inside spread her hands assertively.
"Lureya, we are going to subdue monsters, right?"
"Yes. It’s to subdue monsters."
"But you just said we’re going sightseeing."
The Elf Maiden blinked guiltily and quickly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, there’s still space in the carriage for one more person."
The Magical Girl sat on the right, her face calm, slowly picking up Lureya’s words.
"Let’s not. Miss Lureya and Miss Lina wouldn’t want strangers touching where they sat, right?"
Lureya and Lina: Shami doesn’t mind; the Humanoid Race is absolutely not!
"By the way, if we encounter the Demon Race, do we need to formulate any battle strategy?"
As a Hero with experience in subduing Demon Lords, Lina, though never teamed up, had seen many teams cooperate in fighting monsters anytime.
"If there’s cooperation, it must be a lot easier."
"Indeed. Yes, Lina, at that time, you attack at the front, and I’ll be at the back ensuring a clear retreat."
The blonde Elf Maiden pinched her chin, looking serious.
Could it be that the white hair couldn’t see the blonde was playing the coward?
Outside the carriage, after quieting down, Shami sharply heard the girls’ discussion.
"Rest assured, you all just go ahead," Saili casually lifted her lips, "With me here, you can attack with peace of mind."
An assurance so reliable.
Lureya and Lina looked over together.
"Besides knowing the magic any normal Mage would, I am also a Shield Mage, you know," Saili simply explained.
