Volume 4, Chapter 10 – Confession

“Hey… Xiaoyin… I… I really, really can’t bear to let you go…”

“Mm… I know… I like you a lot too, Sister Seles… but I still have to go…”

“Uh… I know that already…”

Such a conversation was happening inside Seles’ mansion.

To Tianyin, the person involved… although this kind of conversation looked completely normal.

Why did it feel like she herself was some scumbag guy who toys with girls then dumps them?

‘Wait a second… Am I not a loli? Since when did I become a scumbag guy?!’

Her thoughts wandered into strange areas for a moment, but that did not get in the way of Tianyin’s judgment.

The Seles in front of her really could not bear to part with her.

At the same time, she herself also had a bit of reluctance to leave, but even so, Tianyin knew very clearly why she had come to this Underground World, so even knowing she was reluctant, she still hardened her heart and decided to leave.

That was what Tianyin was thinking at the moment.

However…

“Xiaoyin… now that things have come this far, I really should tell the truth…”

Just as Tianyin was making up her mind to leave, she suddenly heard Seles say that.

“Eh? W-What truth?”

She felt a little puzzled. After all, Seles had always been pretty nice to her. From Tianyin’s point of view, someone who took such good care of her would not have any reason to hide anything from her, right?

Weird…

Even though she was doubtful inside, Tianyin still waited for Seles to say what she wanted to confess.

In her field of vision, the girl bit her lip, looking like she wanted to speak but hesitated.

“It is… actually… Well, actually three days ago I hid some news from you, Xiaoyin…”

“Eh?”

Tianyin was even more confused.

“What news?”

“Actually… Xiaoyin… three days ago, the problem with the teleportation array had already been identified… but, because repairing the teleportation array requires the eyeball of a Legendary-tier Evil Eye Lord… so, so, so I already sent out an army to try to kill the Evil Eye Lord… and that is why these past few days, I have been intending to hide that fact from you…”

“Eh? Wh… what?”

To be honest, Tianyin was a little stunned.

So before this… the problem with the teleportation array had already been found.

And the material needed to repair it was the eyeball of a Legendary-tier Evil Eye Lord?

After learning that, Seles had both sent out an army to try to kill the Evil Eye Lord and at the same time hidden that information from Tianyin.

“Wait… since the issue of repairing the teleportation array was already figured out, why did you not tell me, Seles?”

Tianyin could not figure it out no matter how she thought about it.

Since the problem had already been found, yet Seles had decided not to tell her… leaving the reason aside for the moment, this unexplainable decision to hide the truth from her was something Tianyin found really hard to accept.

“Uhh… Xiaoyin, please do not get mad… actually, actually I had a few reasons for hiding it…”

“Reasons?”

“Yes…”

Seles looked completely wronged.

“Did I not say to you before that as soon as the problem with the teleportation array was discovered, it could be repaired right away…”

“Wuu…”

Tianyin slipped into recall mode.

After thinking back for a moment, she really did remember that Seles had said those words at the time.

“Mm… you did say that… but that line has nothing to do with why you hid the truth from me, Sister Seles, right?”

Even though Seles had indeed said that, Tianyin still found it hard to connect those words with Seles’ decision to keep things from her.

“Uhh… Xiaoyin… Xiaoyin, listen to me… I-I said that once the problem with the teleportation array was found it could be repaired, right? But now the problem has been found, and it still cannot be fixed right away, so… so I chose to hide it for now… but I was planning to tell you the news that the teleportation array was fixed once the repairs succeeded, and give you a surprise, Xiaoyin…”

Hm?… so that is how it was?

After listening to Seles’ explanation, Tianyin finally understood.

The reason Seles had kept this fact quiet for the time being was actually because she herself had bragged earlier, saying once the problem was found, the teleportation array would be repaired right away or something like that…

But in reality, the problem had been found, and the time needed for repairs was another matter altogether.

So, feeling a bit embarrassed, Seles had chosen to temporarily hide the news.

“So that is how it was… so that is why you decided to keep it from me, Sister Seles? I get it now. But, Sister Seles, if you need the eyeball of a Legendary Evil Eye Lord, then can an army really kill the Evil Eye Lord?”

“I… I don’t know… but the army I sent out is a very powerful Minotaur army… I think dealing with a Legendary should be possible… After all, even though the Evil Eye Lord is called a Lord, it has always acted alone as a Legendary… so sending out a large army should be able to kill it… probably…”

“Probably… you said it yourself, it is only probably…”

As for Seles hiding the truth, Tianyin decided to forgive her for now.

But as for Seles sending out just an army to besiege a Legendary rank Evil Eye Lord… Tianyin really did not know what to say for a moment…

“Ah… Sister Seles, a Legendary is not that easy to kill… has no one ever said that line to you? Legendary undying, Thrones eternal, so you absolutely cannot look at a Legendary with normal eyes!”

“But… but… that is only something people say… I think the army I sent out should be able to kill it…”

Like a child who had done something wrong, Seles’ eyes were already misted with a faint layer of haze.

“It is not that they should be able to kill it, they basically cannot kill it at all. Sister Seles, what you are doing is sending them to die… how about this, since repairing the teleportation array needs the Evil Eye Lord’s eyeball, I can actually deal with the Evil Eye Lord too, so if you let me take the field, then the Evil Eye Lord and all that will be very easy to handle~”

Now that things had come this far, Tianyin only wanted to repair the teleportation array as fast as possible and then head to Inferno.

“Eh… Xiaoyin… can you do it?”

However, Seles was clearly unwilling to believe Tianyin’s big talk.

“No matter how you look at it, you are just an ordinary person, Xiaoyin… how could you be a match for a Legendary… Xiaoyin, let’s just obediently wait for news from the army. Maybe they really will manage to kill the Evil Eye Lord~ When that happens, once we get the Evil Eye Lord’s eyeball and fix the teleportation array, you will be able to go to Inferno~”

“No way… Sister Seles, if a Legendary really could be wiped out by a regular army, then it would not deserve to be called a Legendary among undying Legends at all…”

“No, no… that is way too dangerous, Xiaoyin, you cannot go!”

With a flustered and deeply worried expression, it was very clear that Seles did not believe what Tianyin was saying.
