"What’s going on? I just got back and I’m greeted with such a heavy message. Weren’t you always in a slacking position over there? No fear of sudden death, huh, Dad."
Lureya knitted her brows slightly, placed the note back to its original spot, and looked at another note.
—Lureya, Mom went to study medicinal knowledge—Dad’s been under a lot of work pressure lately—his health might not hold up—
The elves’ journey is long—if the body breaks down, it’d be terrible—Mom has decided to personally pick herbs for Dad to regain health—won’t be back for summer break—
"They’re even related notes, why not write them on the same note then!"
"Looks like I won’t be seeing either of them before going back to school."
However, Lureya had become accustomed to this kind of thing.
It might be due to their long lifespan, but the Elf Race isn’t very dependent on their parents.
Elves leave their parents early, either moving out to live on their own or going to school, living there.
Taking off the elf skirt, Lureya finally didn’t have to worry about being peeked at by delinquents here.
She didn’t need to use a Spirit Protection Array to protect herself; the elf maiden, clad only in two thin pieces of white underwear covering three points, walked into the bathroom.
After washing up, she casually packed her luggage and checked her summer homework; everything was in order.
All she had to do next was quietly wait for tomorrow’s school start.
At night, lying on the bed in her bedroom, Lureya didn’t fall asleep right away.
Honestly, since the seaside trip, the elf maiden had accumulated many strange energies inside her.
In the developmental aftermath of the trip, she was first bumped into by Shami in the changing room; Shami hugged her tightly. Then, late at night, both went swimming together, doing... on the beach.
The energy stored inside the elf maiden was becoming increasingly difficult to handle.
When bidding farewell to Shami, it had already subtly affected her normal movements; she really wanted to drag Shami to the woods to explore the structure of the human body.
But she held back at the time.
Now, it’s impossible to suppress this energy.
The experienced elf maiden certainly knew what was going on.
Ah, it’s time to do something about it.
It’s that familiar Water Magic time again.
Lureya sighed in her matured voice.
"Nothing can be done about myself."
"But honestly, every seventeen or eighteen-year-old, regardless of gender, more or less does stuff like that in their bedroom. So, no need to feel embarrassed at all."
Speaking, Lureya slowly opened her Storage Space.
A pair of Shami’s underpants appeared in her hand.
Lureya’s cheeks flushed slightly.
"It’s not like I took it on purpose; it was just there in Shami’s wardrobe, and I happened to mistakenly use the Teleportation Gate to end up in Shami’s room. If I didn’t take anything, it would have been a wasted Teleportation Gate trip!"
"Besides, Shami also took my stockings; it’s fair, what’s wrong with taking his underpants, right? It’s not like the elf maiden would do anything bad with them."
After a moment of silence, the slightly blushing Lureya swallowed, grasping the fabric, slipping under the quilt.
[Your own bedroom is the safest place, so it must have a Water Magic session.]
"Hello, Tree Spirit Senior, I’m the new Minotaur corporal, please take care of me."
"Hello, Jelly, I’m the new Minotaur corporal, please take care of me."
"Hello, this Slime, I’m the new Minotaur corporal, please take care of me."
After Shami brought the Minotaur to the Maple Forest Clearing, the Pink Minotaur began to politely greet the surrounding magical creatures.
It completely acted like a newbie who had just joined the job.
Shami folded his arms, somewhat puzzled.
"This attitude is too respectful, completely unlike the Minotaur character I imagined."
In the Maple Forest Clearing, the Slime Leader Jelly blankly watched the pink Minotaur greeting its little brothers everywhere.
[It’s actually a Pink Minotaur... I’ve lived so long... it’s the first time I’ve seen a Pink Minotaur cough!...]
"Judging by the reaction of the Wisteria Tree Spirit, who was so surprised that many leaves fell, it seems Pink Minotaur is a previously unknown species."
Shami frowned, starting to think back on his procedure from the previous night.
Did he do something wrong?
But since it was resurrected, he couldn’t just leave the Minotaur alone now.
Actually, that pinkish skin was quite nice. If its other abilities and performance were normal, it might even make an excellent Minotaur Chief.
Thinking this, Shami called over the Pink Minotaur and patted its horns with his hand.
Sensed its detailed information.
[Name: Minotaur Chief]
[Race: Demon Race · Rare Demon]
[Skills: Not yet learned]
"Lord Shami, I can feel your energy. Whatever it is, inject it!"
"No, just touching you is all."
Withdrawing his hand, Shami found the Minotaur in front of him surprisingly normal.
"Alright, since you’re already one of us, strive to better yourself!"
Shami accepted the Minotaur Chief before him.
"Yes, Lord Shami! Always at your command!"
Seeing the enthusiastic look of the Minotaur, Shami got fired up as well.
