Chapter 58 Before the Festival, Each Goes Their Separate Way
Why does she have this sudden urge to touch him?
At this moment, Ais can’t help but be captivated by Noah’s chiseled, muscular physique.
In the past, when she hit a roadblock, Ais tried almost every method to improve herself.
Muscle training was naturally one of them, and Riveria arranged for Barara, a veteran Amazon warrior from the Familia, to be her teacher.
Back then, Ais thought Barara’s muscles weren’t toned enough and that she needed to train to reach Gareth or Noah’s level.
Barara ridiculed her mercilessly at the time.
“Little sister, men and women have different bodies, each with their own unique beauty. And what’s so great about having bulky, unattractive muscles like a Dwarf? Do you think beef is tastiest when it’s old and tough? The muscles of a 17- or 18-year-old youth, full of vitality and life, are the most delicious!”
Vitality?
Life?
Can muscles really be related to that?
It wasn’t until now that Ais could understand what Barara meant.
The silver-haired boy in front of her was still covered in a thin layer of sweat, making his muscular curves even more noticeable after their intense battle.
He was lean and toned, yet still had a slightly slender build.
But even from a distance, Ais could almost feel the heat emanating from his skin as his blood flowed rapidly beneath.
It was like the warm sun on a winter morning, shining bright, dispelling the darkness, and driving away the cold, making her feel invigorated and warm.
As a gentle warmth rose up her back, Ais felt a surge of strange, unfamiliar emotions in her heart.
Her heart was racing, like she had downed a large glass of hot wine, her chest burning, her mind dizzy.
The feelings were complex and varied, but the one thought Ais could grasp clearly was… it would be really comfortable to sleep with Noah at night.
Ais, who had been frequently woken up in the middle of the night due to the cold after kicking off her blankets, couldn’t help but think this.
Her heart was thinking this, and her mouth spoke the words without her realizing it.
“Noah, can you sleep with me at night?”
Although she was still young and naive, Ais had some awareness of the differences between men and women.
However, since she would be Noah’s wife in the future, it seemed normal to ask him to keep her warm in bed and be her pillow.
Not to mention that Noah smelled really good, which would surely help her sleep well and aid in her physical recovery.
Lately, due to overtraining, Riveria had been restricting her workouts.
“…If you don’t recover properly, you can’t continue training like this!” BOOM!
Silently watching Ais’s serious face, Noah, although knowing it’s unlikely, subconsciously glanced around the surrounding cave, fearing he might see a certain green-haired figure.
If Riveria were to find out, she’d probably give him a combo of punches, staff techniques, and wide-range magic attacks, a true Alf combo!
Fortunately, not to mention the Elf Princess, Noah didn’t even see a single passerby adventurer or monster.
Otherwise, he might have had to kill someone to keep them quiet.
Unconsciously letting out a sigh of relief, Noah looked at Ais with a puzzled gaze.
“Ais, why did you say that?”
“Because it’s been getting cold lately, and I wake up at night feeling chilly; you’re probably warm, Noah.”
After a few seconds of silence, Noah suddenly broke into a smile and stretched out his large hand.
The rumors sparked by Loki haven’t completely died down, and you’re not going to let my reputation as a lolicon be completely ruined without a fight, are you?
Not repaying me is one thing, but you’re repeatedly tarnishing my reputation like this?
Ais, oh Ais, you’re truly my devoted, yet troublesome, partner in crime.
Seeing the smile on Noah’s usually calm and handsome face, Ais was taken aback for a few seconds, and then suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
But it was too late; Noah’s hand had already grasped her small head, and his fingers tightened!
“Ahh!!”
The young girl’s anguished cry echoed through the deep cave, with a loud BOOM!
As the temperature dropped and daylight shortened, when Noah and Ais returned to the surface, the sky had already completely darkened.
The central square, which would normally be completely dark at this time, was now illuminated, with numerous stalls set up in a grid, and Guild members in uniform directing volunteers as they moved about.
“The festival is starting tomorrow; Ais, do you want to join in on the fun with Riveria and the others?”
Still reeling from Noah’s crushing grip, Ais took a while to come back to her senses.
She scanned the square, instinctively wanting to shake her head.
“The festival? I don’t want to go; I want to…”
“You’ll always be following me, but you’ll never surpass me, got it!”
One of the many reasons Ais liked being with Noah was that he treated her as an equal, not like others who saw her as just a kid.
Like now, being interrupted while speaking was a first for her.
This made Ais look up at Noah, her eyes narrowing slightly.
“The closer you get, the less you see. If you don’t take a step back and look at the bigger picture, it’s hard to get a clear view, whether it’s people, things, or yourself.”
In the dimly lit environment, Ais felt that Noah’s azure eyes seemed to be tainted with a faint purple hue, like a whispered secret.
It was somehow alluring, making Ais dare not look directly, and quickly lowered their head, as if to shield themselves from the intensity.
“…I understand.”
“Let’s go, it’s time for dinner. Riveria and Loki are probably going to scold us for being late again,” Noah said with a hint of a smile, like a gentle breeze on a summer day.
Returning to Twilight Manor, they managed to catch dinner on time, and after a refreshing bath, Noah and Ais headed to the Divine Chamber for their usual update, a ritual as familiar as a well-worn sword.

“It seems that endurance is still tough to improve,” Ais said, their voice laced with a hint of frustration, like a warrior facing an unyielding foe.
Riveria, who was staring at the Ability Value data, looked around absent-mindedly, almost losing control of her hands, like a sorceress struggling to contain her magic.
“My staff! Where’s my staff?! I’ll beat this ungrateful disciple to a pulp!” she exclaimed, her voice like thunder on a stormy night, BOOM!
“The expedition is tomorrow! I’ll take Ais to the festival, and you’d better go to the Dungeon and train your endurance. Don’t come back until it’s at least SS!” Riveria said, her words firm and commanding, like a general on the battlefield.
Noah removed the paper that was slapped onto his face, looking at Riveria’s departing back with an innocent expression, like a child who had just been scolded.

The night passed, and in a certain room in the Garden of Stars, a figure stirred.
“No way! I still can’t sleep!”
The blonde Elf, who had almost been sleeping all night, stared at the sun outside the window, clasping the scarf that had completely dissipated in her hand, and conspicuous dark circles appeared under her pupils.
“Go to Dungeon! Absolutely has to forget the individual class!”
