"Mom, look, there's a dog over there!"

"Sweetie, that's actually a big rat, not a dog."

"But it really looks like a dog."

Lyle turned his head and saw a five-year-old girl pulling her mother's sleeve, pointing to the side of the street with a bright and innocent smile on her face.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Standing on the streets of the town, he looked at the familiar surroundings and the bustling crowds.

These past two years, as a Scholar, he basically had no free time and no recreational activities, spending most of his time in the library.

He was indeed as tired as a dog.

Thinking about this, Lyle felt somewhat relieved.

In fact, when he first arrived, no one wanted this unknown, uneducated Scholar in their team.

It was the newly-established Moon Bloom and Sia who took him in.

She endured the ridicule and doubts of others, forcibly taking in this lonely Scholar.

Only Sia reached out her hand to him.

To repay Sia's kindness, Lyle did his best.

While working as a Scholar, he also took care of logistics, cleaning the battlefield, and attending to their daily needs, doing all kinds of dirty and tiring tasks voluntarily.

Perhaps people change once they become successful.

There was inevitably some regret in his heart.

He hadn't seen the deepest part of the underground city yet...

Lyle gently sighed, looking at the beautiful night sky of Eofer.

From now on, you guys will have to walk the path on your own.

I'm tired and need to rest.

...

...

What happened to Lyle?

Sia couldn't figure it out.

In fact, Moon Bloom had always been on the right track.

From a small group, it became a well-known adventure team throughout Eofer in just two years.

Yet, the well-equipped Moon Bloom could never break into the ranks of legendary adventure teams.

Thinking it over, Sia cast her gaze on Lyle.

He was the only Scholar who had not studied in a top-level Academy and came from humble beginnings.

So, what was he thinking?

Was it wrong to hope that he could try harder?

Sia slowly took off her white stockings and stood barefoot in front of the mirror, looking at her fair, delicate cheeks.

With a standard height of 1.6 meters, her slender legs were in perfect proportion, and her skin was smooth and delicate.

She was feeling a bit irritated.

She kicked open the door of the bathhouse, and in the exquisite and smooth marble bath, there were two figures also soaking in the warm water.

Hearing the noise, the girl on the left slightly opened her eyes. Her jet-black hair draped across her chest, a smart and lazy expression on her face.

Moon Bloom adventure team's Priest, Amelia.

"You look upset. Do you need me to comfort you?"

Amelia smirked and held her own snowy, round chest.

"Annoying!"

The warm and comfortable hot spring could hardly ease Sia's irritation. She slapped the water surface forcefully, "I met a weirdo tonight!"

"What happened?"

Amelia showed some interest, "Who upset our Sia?"

"Amelia, why would someone suddenly become very annoying? He wasn't like this before."

Priest Amelia tilted her head, paused for a moment.

It took her a while to speak, "It means this person has let go of something, or there's something more worthwhile for him to do that has attracted him."

"Lyle doesn't know how to cherish anything! He doesn't know how many Scholars want to join our adventure team, even some top students from the Academy!"

"Lyle? Did you really kick him out?"Miss Priest had a somewhat surprised expression on her face.

"I didn't force him out! He told me himself that he wanted to quit!"

Amelia raised her delicate eyebrows.

To be honest, when the team was stuck on the 44th floor and couldn't go deeper, everyone had considered the idea of ​​replacing the Scholar in their heart.

But Lyle had a really good temper.

When you were venting to him, he was the best listener.

You could also tell him that you had a poor appetite lately, and let him cook breakfast for you for a month.

And once, Sia tore up his strategy plan that took a week to complete because she was throwing a tantrum.

Lyle just forced a bitter smile and stayed up three nights in a row in the library.

His professional skills might be just average.

But he was truly a nice guy.

He was a people pleaser who cared too much about others.

Amelia liked such people.

Just lift the hem of her skirt slightly and occasionally talk to him, he would be more than willing to flatter her, haha...

His self-righteousness was quite interesting, however.

Ridiculous kindness and tolerance were actually useless.

Sia would rather think he's a spineless fool.

But as a handyman, he was quite useful.

Amelia held her face with her hands, somewhat distressed: "That's too bad... It's such unfortunate news... Lyle is an important partner of ours..."

She realized that Sia's temper had been getting worse recently.

And she was sensitive. If Lyle's actions didn't align with her intentions even just a little, she would start to get angry and scold him.

In fact, she was the one who often disobeyed orders in the dungeon.

She probably thought that Lyle didn't deserve Moon Bloom Adventure Team.

"I just rejected him a few times, do I have to be with every Scholar who joins the team?"

Sia slapped the water surface heavily again, splashing water on Miss Priest's face.

"But Lyle never confessed his love to you."

The always leisurely Caster glanced at Sia: "Is it possible that he just wanted to be a good Scholar, not a failed pursuer?"

Sia became angry all of a sudden: "Flo, you haven't been bothered by him, how would you know?!"

Every time an adventure ended, Lyle would write a report and come to her for a meeting and summary.

He also subtly offered some small suggestions.

Why didn't he go to you? Why did he only come to me?

He would also bring a cake or pudding every time.

Is that not enough to prove something?

Flo shrugged: "I was just saying, there's no need to be so aggressive."

Sia snorted coldly.

"Ah, don't argue among teammates."

Miss Priest covered her chest, looking worried: "Perhaps Lyle just went out to clear his mind, and he will come back soon."

Lyle was a helpful member of the team, always ready when needed.

Amelia didn't want to lose her handyman either.

In fact, letting him be her handyman should be considered an honor, haha...

"Come back? After bumping into a wall somewhere else and then coming back?"

Sia held her chest coldly: "Does he think this place is a market? Coming and going whenever he wants?"

"Once we lost the Scholar, we can just replace him with another. I want a more knowledgeable Scholar in the team too."

Flo stood up from the water: "This is a good thing, you don't have to be all worried and sad, and you don't have to vent your anger at us."
