Just thinking about Aya Tone made him frustrated.
He had previously been tricked by Fire Finch into competing in some sort of ranked match, and by the time he realized something was amiss, he had already fought his way to the tenth spot.
But what was truly outrageous?
Damn it all, after fighting his way up, he hadn’t earned much money; instead, he had become famous.
Every time he entered or exited the guild, people would stare at him with such strange gazes, forcing him to constantly wear a hood to avoid impromptu fan meetings.
That was simply terrifying.
If he had his way, he genuinely wished not to be famous. Wouldn’t it be better to just earn money peacefully?
“Go quickly and accept the quest!”
With the identification provided by Fire Finch, no one would suspect them of causing trouble.
Time was short and the task was arduous; they needed to accept the quest and resolve the battle within two hours.
Aya Tone had already booked a flight for 1:30 PM.
“Yes, yes, yes,” Li Jia grumbled, pushing her luggage towards Aya Tone before entering the White Tiger Guild herself.
Rather than blocking the guild entrance, Aya Tone pushed Li Jia’s suitcase to the side and sat atop it.
Perched on the meter-tall suitcase, his legs dangled in the air; it truly wasn’t due to short legs!
He couldn’t fathom why Li Jia had brought such a large suitcase along.
Pulling out his phone, Aya Tone began reporting his whereabouts to Fire Finch.
[Aya Tone]: [Arrived/[Photo]]
[Fire Finch]: [OK]
Mission accomplished, Aya Tone promptly closed the chat window with Fire Finch and opened Xiao Aya Jiu’s class group chat to browse through it.
He would rather look at Xiao Jiu’s messages than chat with Fire Finch.
Inside were daily photos of children at the kindergarten, uploaded by the teachers.
Aya Tone quickly spotted his daughter among the throng of children.
“Xiao Jiu is so adorable!” he cooed, his calves unconsciously swaying as he gazed at Xiao Aya Jiu’s joyful smile.
“Hmm? Who is that boy?” Aya Tone frowned slightly upon seeing a boy in the photo standing close to Xiao Jiu.
His daughter was still young; she couldn’t be deceived by some blonde-haired boy.
He vividly recalled a certain ninja anime where a blonde-haired character was a lady-killer from a young age; he absolutely couldn’t be careless!
When he returned in the afternoon, he would certainly find out what intentions this little boy harbored!
“Hmph hmph.”
As Aya Tone reveled in admiring Xiao Jiu’s kindergarten photos, his presence began to draw the attention of passersby.
Although he now wore a hood that concealed his face, every movement he made exuded an undeniable aura of cuteness.
Those entering and exiting the White Tiger Guild couldn’t help but slow their steps.
“Hey, look what I found!”
“What the hell?”
The companion, whose arm had been grabbed, raised an eyebrow. They were in a hurry to gather, otherwise the raid party wouldn’t wait for them.
If they were late again this time, their rewards would surely be docked entirely.
“Shh, look over there!”
Upon hearing this, they followed their companion’s gaze and saw a small loli-like figure perched on a suitcase, her calves swinging gently as she stared at her phone.
Her hood couldn’t completely conceal her hair, and a strand of silver fell gracefully onto her hoodie.
Against the backdrop of the black hoodie, that wisp of silver hair shone dazzlingly, drawing everyone’s eyes like a beacon in the night.
“So cute…” a man murmured, lost in a daze.
It wasn’t just men; many others present were similarly drawn to Aya Tone’s unconscious actions, standing rooted to the spot.
Someone captured this peculiar scene with a photo and posted it online.
The caption read: [Such an Absurd Event Occurred Outside White Tiger Guild, What Exactly Is Going On…]
Learned from journalism.
“Aya Tone, it’s done.”
By the time Li Jia finished the formalities, the doorway was already blocked by a crowd.
Fortunately, Li Jia was a Spatial Mage, and with a single blink, she appeared beside Aya Tone.
One good thing about the onlookers was that each person watched Aya Tone from a distance, choosing not to disturb the tranquility.
Thus, engrossed in his phone, Aya Tone didn’t even notice Li Jia emerging.
“Ah, alright.” Putting his phone away, Aya Tone jumped down from the suitcase.
However, upon looking up, he was instantly startled by the sight before him.
“What are they doing?”
Could one imagine the feeling of looking up to suddenly find a throng of people silently encircling you?
Aya Tone was utterly bewildered, nothing more.
He had only been playing on his phone for a while, so how had the entrance become so crowded?
The onlookers, caught in the act, looked embarrassed. Having been mesmerized and then spotted by the very person they were watching, they quickly averted their gazes, pretending not to be staring at Aya Tone.
They all turned their faces away, feigning disinterest.
‘Could it be that the White Tiger Guild Master was just like Fire Finch, that unscrupulous merchant, and was withholding his employees’ wages?’
The more Aya Tone pondered it, the more plausible it seemed. These black-hearted bosses were truly despicable; they, the working class, absolutely had to unite!
But! Not now.
He didn’t have time for this now; he still had to rush off to clear those A-rank dungeons and earn big money.
That was a mere 20% of the income! He was being horribly exploited, yet even an extra hundred yuan felt like a massive gain.
“Everyone, once I get rich, I’ll definitely help you reclaim your hard-earned money!” Aya Tone muttered under his breath.
As if betraying his own class, he wiped away a tear and departed the White Tiger Guild with Li Jia.
Only after Aya Tone had departed did the onlookers finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Brothers, doesn’t that little girl look familiar? And the woman who just appeared beside her too.”
“Hey, you know what? A spatial ability user, plus a little girl… I’m actually thinking of a certain duo.”
“I’ve thought of it too, just not sure if it’s *that* one.”
“…Why don’t you just say it?” The others were exasperated by these three ‘dog-brothers’, speaking in riddles. Who were they trying to guard against?
‘Riddlers, get lost!’
“Brother, you must have just gotten internet in your village. You can find tons of photos of this duo with a simple online search.”
“…”
Hearing this, those who were unaware quickly pulled out their phones and began searching.
Indeed, just as they said, by simply typing in two keywords, information about Aya Tone popped up one after another.
“S-rank Tenth, Silver-Haired Witch, and A-rank Spatial Mage Li Jia?”
Comparing the photos revealed online with the woman who had just used spatial teleportation, they were identical.
The crowd, now privy to the truth, exclaimed, “Damn, is there a fan group?!”
Aya Tone in the photos wasn’t wearing a hood.
His adorable expression and his silver hair all perfectly aligned with the aesthetic preferences of Z-nation citizens.
Aya Tone, at this moment, remained blissfully unaware that his unconscious actions had garnered him dozens of “dad fans”.
It was absurd, truly; the combination of youthful looks with silver hair was indeed timeless.
“This must be the place,” one of them said as the two arrived by car in a suburban area.
The area had been completely cordoned off by the police, and there wasn’t a single vehicle on the road leading up to it.
At the intersection, the taxi they were in was also stopped, leaving them no choice but to alight there and proceed on foot.
Handing their pass from the White Tiger Guild to the police officer on guard, the two smoothly entered the cordoned-off area.
“Hello, are you the adventurers responsible for the cleanup?” A man in military uniform approached, saluting them.
