I must make it clear to Ah Xiu, otherwise I can't just walk away like this.
Gu Mo was agitated and couldn't help but worry. Things have beco quite troubleso at this point... To be honest, he really can't say with a clear conscience how bad this is, nor can he convincingly say that he has no thoughts about it at all.
But reason ultimately wasn't overwheld, and impulsiveness didn't take the upper hand.
It's already been almost a month...
He has to leave because, based on previous experiences, the ti flow speed ratio between the Dungeon World and the real world is one to one... Going without a word for a month might still be normal, but if it's any longer, it might cause problems.
No matter what, his focus is still on the dinsion called "reality," an undeniable fact.
So fate indeed can be such a pain... In reality, at tis I worry about not having a girlfriend, but now in this Dungeon, I could have a wife—one that ets my aesthetic perfectly. After all, I crafted her myself.
But for various reasons, I can't possibly respond.
Gu Mo was utterly depressed, looking at the White Viper that started circling around him alongside the big fox. He knew the principles of gratitude and not taking advantage, and didn't want to do sothing without integrity like leaving right after getting what he wanted. However, there was no good solution right now.
This is not an issue that can be explained by returning it voluntarily; otherwise, he wouldn't have just forced himself under the pressure of the old guy to put up a false pretense.
He could only discuss it with Ah Xiu properly, hoping she would understand him...
He pulled the girl into a random empty room, and after entering, he turned around and closed the door, facing this black-haired girl in this mysterious environnt. It was clearly the sa person as before, but having changed into a dark blue kimono, the feeling was entirely different.
Hidechika naturally had exceptional attributes, and even if she usually preferred wearing the light armor outfit for convenience, she still exuded incredible allure in her actions. Often, even with a covered face, she still carried a distinctive, heroic charm between her brows.
But when she rarely swapped her casual light armor for traditional female attire, that heroic spirit was gone—not affecting her charm, instead making her stunningly beautiful and bold, beautiful to the point of being surreal, transcendent with an unrealistic quality...
It's truly unfair... And the more it is like this, the more I feel I've lost a fortune.
Gu Mo carefully scrutinized this girl he was so familiar with, feeling at this mont that she'd shattered his fixed impression of her in his mind, unable to help but let out a long sigh. Actually, he'd felt it earlier, but it wasn't the right ti then to appreciate and scrutinize.
Because initially, he was preoccupied with figuring out the sisters' identity, and not long after, Saito Dosan arrived, leading to a flurry of unexpected events, so his attention naturally wasn't on this matter. It's only now, at this mont, that he has the opportunity...
While thinking this, a vague thought flashed through his mind, but when he subconsciously tried to grasp it, he failed to.
"?"
The black-haired girl across seed sowhat puzzled, unclear about why he pulled her here, clearly looking mysterious but speaking no words now, just staring intently at her, what's going on?
"Ahem, Ah Xiu, you..."
Gu Mo collected his thoughts, forcing a reluctant smile at the girl, hesitating slightly, seemingly uncertain about how to address the current issue.
He worked to calm down, making his thoughts clear once more. The earlier lanting about losing a fortune was just a habit of reflecting on his troubles, not actually believing it, since it wasn't his possession to begin with, so where's the loss?
Moreover, Hidechika might not be aware of the current situation, let alone the fact he can't stay in this Dungeon World long, even if he could... he can't do it, as it's not the girl's own intention.
This ti, the black-haired girl tilted her head again, seeming more puzzled at him, wondering what's up with this person?
Moreover, her sister had already chased forward, and if she hadn't decisively hidden her presence from the start, letting her confirm where they were, she would've found them by now... But she could definitely ascertain they're in this area, even searching room by room will soon lead her to find them.
"Hmm, I an, you look really beautiful today, truly the most beautiful girl I've ever seen..." Noticing the urging intention in the girl's eyes, Gu Mo lightly coughed and cleared his throat, saying gravely, trying hard to appear sincere, looking directly and honestly at the girl.
Best to start with flattering remarks, placating before proceeding to the main topic. As the saying goes, a smiling face can't be slapped; although Ah Xiu has a calm personality, indifferent to many things, this problem surely is novel for her, and facing such a trouble even she would struggle with acting unaffected.
