League of Legends in Multiverse

The blood-red hue of the hunting aura stained his vision, but his enhanced senses could no longer detect any trace of the Colossal Giant.

...Although it was strange, that Colossal Giant, standing fifty to sixty meters tall, seemed to have vanished into thin air.

. ...

Three updates a day at minimum, though it might be past midnight. Well, in my limited understanding of Holy Light, midnight counts as part of a day.

Chapter 14: Easterner?

Shaking his head to clear his mind, Lian Ye canceled his 'Hunting Rhythm' state.

While he didn't know why such a massive creature had suddenly disappeared, he wasn't agitated by the loss of his quarry.

Hunting might emphasize speed, precision, and ruthless strikes, decisive and sharp, but the pursuit itself requires considerable patience.

A true hunter not only excels at the kill but also maintains composure during the chase.

As he came to his senses, Mikasa had already finished bandaging Carla Yeager's wound. Although it was a very basic wrap to prevent infection of the shattered wound, it at least allowed Eren's mother to stand and move a little.

A brief escape from crisis did not mean they were safe. With the Giants having fully entered the Shiganshina District, the district's fall was only a matter of time. Losing their mobility meant they would eventually be discovered by the Giants.

Carla straightened up with Eren's support. Her hopping gait was a bit awkward, but it was much more feasible than Eren's earlier suggestion of carrying her.

"Thank you," Mikasa nodded slightly. Though her expression remained cold and stern for her age, uttering 'thank you' meant the greatest degree of goodwill she could offer.

"It's nothing, I just did it on the way."

Lian Ye shrugged nonchalantly. He didn't act out of affection for Eren, Mikasa, or the others, but simply because of a strange impulse he felt.

Speaking of which, women with long hair tied in a ponytail often give off a very gentle and virtuous impression. But for some reason, women with this hairstyle have a terrifyingly high mortality rate in anime and manga worlds, almost like saying, 'After this fight, I'm going home to get married.'

Who knows what kind of curse that is. Perhaps it's the universe's grand will, a cruel sense of humor that dictates that extremely gentle women must die to make things more heartbreaking.

Mikasa wasn't discouraged by his curt words. After all, she was the one who was truly taciturn. Lian Ye, on the other hand, disliked boasting about his rescue achievements, emphasizing that it was just a casual act rather than a deliberate one. In other words, it was 'tsundere,' perhaps.

'Pride Stalker' seemed to have been jokingly referred to as 'Tsundere Stalker' as well.

"I've seen you before. When the Survey Corps returned, you were among the crowd."

"You have a good memory," Lian Ye chuckled. Truly worthy of Third Elder Sister.

However, the latter part was just an internal thought. Saying it out loud would only make Mikasa feel strange.

"People with your hair color are rare. I haven't seen anyone else with it in the entire town."

"Aren't you the second person?" Lian Ye complained weakly, unsure if Mikasa was genuinely confused or playing dumb.

"Mm... that's true."

It wasn't surprising Mikasa was slow to realize. After her biological parents died, she hadn't seen anyone else with black hair and black eyes since she was little. Eren and Eren's mother's hair, while appearing black at first glance, was vastly different from pure 'jet black'; it was actually a deep brown.

"Right, what should I call you?"

Hannes, having regained his composure, joined the conversation. After all, he was the oldest soldier among them and the most representative. When speaking to Lian Ye, he even used polite address, showing his admiration for Lian Ye's heroic actions.

Lian Ye pointed to himself and tilted his head slightly. "My name is Lian Ye, but it's just the surname Lian and the given name Ye, not a full name."

One must introduce themselves properly. According to the naming conventions of this world, the given name usually comes first, followed by the family surname, like Eren Yeager. Therefore, Lian Ye didn't want to be misunderstood as a wanderer without a family.
