Traveling Across Worlds, Starting with The Irregular at Magic High School - Chapter 142

"Therefore, Mr. William, the portion you are given is for three people."

Although Ryu didn't understand what Mia meant when she said that, she still instinctively felt shy about it!

In contrast, unlike Ryu and Alicia who were clueless, William, who was deeply influenced by modern knowledge, immediately understood Mia's subtext.

"I'm really grateful to Aunt Mia for taking such good care of me!"

"But I think this is just a random excuse she made up to trick me!"

William said with some helplessness, "Usually this dwarf woman only rips me off with enough for two people, but today she's gone even further."

Ryu agreed with William's words, because this was also a bad habit of Mia's mother.

"Ryu, is something the matter?"

William looked at Ryu, who was still standing there like she was being punished after the food had been served, and asked her with some curiosity.

His words also directly awakened Ryu, who was struggling internally, trying to figure out the right thing to say.

"I just wanted to ask, why did Mr. William bring Miss Alicia to dinner today?"

When Liu said this, she gently turned her head away so that William wouldn't see the strangeness in her heart through her expression.

"I'm treating Alicia to a meal to repay Alicia for helping me a lot today."

Although Ryu's question was slightly inappropriate, William didn't mind and truthfully told her the reason.

Ryu's eyes immediately brightened, and the knot of anger that had been pressing on her chest since earlier dissipated.

"I'm sorry! I was too talkative."

Once Ryu had returned to normal, she immediately bowed to William and Alicia to apologize before preparing to return to work.

"Don't rush off, Ryu!"

"Since there's so much food served, we can't possibly finish it all. Ryu, why don't you sit down with us?"

Alicia knew Ryu, and seeing that Ryu was about to leave, she immediately tried to persuade her to stay.

"No, the tavern is still very busy!"

"Mr. William and Miss Alicia, just call me if you need anything."

Although Ryu was somewhat tempted by Alicia's suggestion, seeing the crowded tavern, she could only helplessly refuse this suggestion that was so tempting to her.

After Ryu returned to the tavern, Alicia immediately put down the mead she was holding, and looked at William with a crescent-shaped smile on her lips.

"William, you're really popular!"

Although Ryu thought she had hidden her emotions well, to Alicia, who was also a woman, Ryu's words sounded like a woman catching her cheating husband and coming to confront him!

"What does this mean?!"

William swallowed the beef he had just eaten, somewhat puzzled by Alicia's inexplicable words.

Although he knew how attractive his face was to many women, he remembered that no woman had rushed up to him and confessed her feelings just now!

"That's not what I meant. I was referring to Miss Ryu!"

Alicia lightly tapped the air with her slender fingertips at Ryu, who was busy inside the tavern.

"Liu?"

"That's impossible!"

William looked slightly surprised. He didn't consider himself an emotionally oblivious person, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed so quickly that Mayumi and Ais harbored unusual feelings for him.

Although he noticed that Ryu had been acting a little awkward around him lately, he assumed it was because of what happened during their last bath.

After all, it's normal for an elf to feel uncomfortable having their most precious body seen by a strange man, which is why William didn't think much of it.

"Why not? It seems William still doesn't quite understand girls' feelings!"

Alicia chuckled softly, then said nothing more, simply raising the mead on the table.

After all, she now harbors a slight fondness for William, so she naturally wouldn't do something foolish like creating an enemy for herself.

William also raised his glass and clinked it against Alicia's.

The morning before the expedition was about to begin.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the gap in the dark blue curtains and fell on William was still fast asleep in bed.

Because of the expedition today, William skipped his morning training session with Ais and planned to get a good night's sleep.

Once you enter the Dungeon, sleeping so comfortably will be a distant dream.

"William, wake up."

"Let's pack up, we need to get ready to leave."

A loud knocking sounded at the door, and William struggled to open his drooping eyelids.

"Okay! Wait ten minutes."

William, lying in bed, quickly finished washing up and picked up the long gun that was placed in the corner of the room.

"Hey! William, how did you sleep last night?"

Tiona, beaming with energy, struck up a conversation with William. In fact, she was the one who had woken William up earlier.

In fact, adventurers' lifestyles are very unstable. They usually spend the afternoon making money in the Dungeon, then come back at night to indulge in a life of pleasure, and then sleep until noon, repeating the cycle day after day.

That's why the job of Familia members responsible for waking people up came about.

"That's good! Has everyone else woken up?"

"Everyone's awake! I was the last one to wake you."

"Thank you so much!"

William clasped his hands in a gesture of thanks to Tiona, and his affected manner naturally drew laughter from Tiona.

The two walked out of William's dormitory and through the long, sloping corridor to the "Loki Familia" dining hall.

They were naturally the last to arrive, besides Finn and Loki.
