Can someone in MyGo stay in an adventure group forever?

An awkward atmosphere gradually spread between the two.

"Speaking of which, I don't think I know what your profession is, do I?" Koshimura Sawa broke the silence decisively.

“Me?” Sankaku Hatsuka raised her head. “I am a paladin, a paladin who has sworn an oath of devotion.”

My goodness, Paladin.

It's still the classic White Knight.

I was looking for a paladin I knew before, but it turned out to be a case of finding a needle in a haystack.

"Are paladins afraid of the dark?" Koshimura asked.

Misaka Hatsuka puffed out her cheeks slightly, seemingly a little angry, and retorted, "Paladins aren't fearless... That's a stereotype! We're normal people too, it's normal to have things we're afraid of."

"Okay, okay...it's my fault." Koshimura Sawa immediately slid to his knees and apologized, "I'm a sorcerer, and if I had to name a sub-class, I'd say I'm a cursed swordsman."

"A sorcerer?" Misaka Hatsuka seemed somewhat surprised, asking with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, "Then does your sect leader... often ask you to do strange things?"

"Although I want to say that this is also a stereotype... you guessed it quite accurately." Koshimura's lips twitched.

Sankaku Hatsuka seemed to suddenly understand something, and nodded thoughtfully.

I don't know what you've understood, but I have a feeling you've misunderstood something...

"But, doesn't it feel tiring? Being a paladin and all that," Koshimura asked curiously, "having to keep all sorts of oaths."

"It's alright." Sankaku Hatsuka smiled. "The oath isn't as strict as you might imagine. If you genuinely believe in it, you won't feel restricted by rules and regulations. Instead, you'll feel that it's your direction and source of strength."

It still seems quite difficult...

Because of his vow, despite being a hardcore player, he has never actually driven a single proper Paladin card.

Of course, this is also inextricably linked to the fact that his running team members always choose one of three things: good, bad, or evil.

If someone were to actually get a Paladin card, they'd probably start fighting before they even left the tavern where they accepted the quest.

"Speaking of which, I've recently been considering taking on the role of a part-time paladin," Koshimura said tentatively. "I'm just wondering how to get started."

"Ah...that is indeed very difficult." Mikasa looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave a polite smile.

No, what do you mean by that?

With my upright and righteous spirit, am I not obviously destined to be a paladin?

[A broken oath paladin? Don't make your naive sister laugh.]

“Because paladins usually awaken voluntarily, and there are very few part-time paladins, I can’t give you any specific advice,” Mikasa explained.

She tried to imagine it, but found that she simply couldn't picture the guy in front of her transforming into a righteous paladin.

“But if you’re determined to become a paladin, I’ll cheer you on,” she added sincerely. “You can ask me any questions you don’t understand.”

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Mr. Mikazuki," Koshimura said half-jokingly.

Sankaku Hatsuka quickly waved her hand: "Teacher... that's too much of an exaggeration. Just call me classmate."

Silence fell once again in the training room, with only the Star Blade on Koshimura's leg emitting a steady light, casting blurry shadows of the two on the wall.

“Sankaku-kun, let me tell you a story,” Koshimura Sawa suddenly said.

"Huh?" Misaka Hatsuka was taken aback, seemingly not expecting him to suddenly bring this up.

[A. The story of Princess Apple and the seven androids]

[B. The story of Little White Hat and animal rights activist Hakimi]

[C. The story of the little black merman and the transgender prince]

It's password protected. Did someone dig out my old notebook where I used to write short stories about Gou Shi?

But it doesn't matter, since he originally intended to tell short stories about Gou Shi anyway.

Before Sankaku could answer, he began to speak on his own: "A long, long time ago, there was a very lovable little girl. Her grandmother gave her a little white hat. The little girl loved this little white hat very much and wore it all the time. Therefore, everyone called her Little White Hat."

Shouldn't it be Little Red Riding Hood?

One day, Mom asked Little White Hat to take some green and healthy organic vegetables to visit Grandma who lived far away.

"Mom told Little White Hat that Grandma's house is very easy to recognize. It is very tall, like a tower, and has two pointed tops, so everyone calls it the Twin Towers."

Wait, is that the little white hat?

"Because Grandma's house is far away, Little White Hat has to take a kind of transportation called an airplane to get there."

Stop! Don't say anymore!

Misaka Hatsuka's shoulders began to tremble slightly, and she subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, her expression distorted as she tried to suppress her laughter.

Because the road to the airport passed through a forest, her mother told her to be careful on the way, especially about Hakimi, who lived in the forest.

"The little white-hatted boy didn't think much of it, but as soon as he entered the forest, he encountered a giant Hakimi hiding in the grass."

Hakimi jumped out of the bushes, grabbed the little white hat, opened his blood-red mouth, and said, "Would you rather be eaten by me directly, or struggle and die in agony before I eat you?"

"Unexpectedly, the man in the white hat took off his hat, revealing his dark skin, and asked: 'Why do you only eat me and not white people? Are you discriminating against black people?'"

[Are there any experts? 】

Hakimi was caught off guard by her magical attack and dared not move for a moment.

"Little White Hat continued: What kind of look is that? I have reason to believe that you have a miniature camera implanted in your eye, and you are giving me a naked male gaze. As a new-era independent woman who rejects patriarchal oppression, I have the right to take up the weapon of law and let the 'Big Sister' protect me!"

Hakimi was startled, quickly let go of her, and slunk away.

"Little White Hat said disdainfully, 'Hakimi is indeed Hakimi. His brain is no bigger than a walnut. Without MXZ protecting him, what use is he besides breathing? I think he just needs the love of Compound Bow.'"

"Unexpectedly, Hakimi turned around immediately after hearing this: Haha, so you finally admit you hate cats? That's blatant racism!"

"I'm shivering with cold. I'm sweating profusely in this sweltering heat, and my hands and feet are freezing. Can't this world ever be kind to us Hakimis again?"

"Although we are an invasive species that preys on protected birds, abuses wild animals, and damages the environment, disturbs people by making noise everywhere during mating season, can never be tamed, and will even hiss at people, we are still cute! Don't you know about the Cute Animal Protection Law?"

"Little White Hat was so frightened by the fact that the other party's magic was stronger than his own that he didn't dare to breathe. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hakimi roared and pounced on him. Little White Hat quickly raised the basket in his hand to block in front of him."

"Unexpectedly, the basket contained a high explosive device, which killed both the man and Hakimi."

He paused, then continued, "In the end, Hakimi successfully sacrificed his life to prevent a terrorist attack. What a relief, what a relief..."

"Pfft... Ugh—" Misaka Hatsuka finally couldn't hold it in any longer, letting out a short, sharp sound. She quickly buried her face in her knees and said in a trembling voice, "Koshimura-kun, stop... I can't laugh..."

Cute.

Yuecun Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her bright red ear tips.

The rice noodles are so high, it looks like this Chuhua is the real deal.

【What a load of rubbish!】

He smiled with satisfaction.

Great, the achievement of "Telling Hellish Jokes to Paladins" has finally been achieved!

There were no rewards at all.

The thought had barely formed when a pair of oversized children's sunglasses suddenly appeared in his hand.

[You have received a reward for selecting the "defying the heavens" option.]

Children speak without restraint.

[Quality: Rare]

When wearing these glasses, everything you see will appear in a childlike, simple drawing style. You gain resistance to psychological harm and have an advantage when making saving throws against the following states: blindness, charm, panic, and intimidation.

Koshimura's eyes lit up; this was a good thing.

At the same time, the lights in the training room suddenly turned on one by one, and the blinding white light replaced the blue glow of Star Edge, causing both of them to squint involuntarily.

Yuecun Ze quickly put the "Children's Innocent Words" sunglasses back into his pocket, stood up, and Sanka Chuka followed suit.

Once the lights were completely stable, it was as if some self-checking mechanism had been triggered. An energy network woven from countless tiny golden rays swept across the entire room from bottom to top, as if scanning something.

Koshimura Sawa watched the light pass through his body without feeling anything, but Mitsumaki Hatsuka next to him suddenly cried out in pain and covered her forehead.

"Koshimura-kun...why does my head suddenly hurt so much..."

Her body swayed, and she instinctively fell towards the direction of Yuecunze.

Startled, Yuecun Ze quickly supported her and looked around warily.

Is it a problem with the scan? Or... that previous sound?

Just then, the lock on the training room door beeped softly and was then pushed open from the outside.

Toyokawa Shoko stood at the door, watching Mitsumaki Hatsuka clinging to Koshimura Sawa like a rag doll, the sports equipment she was holding falling to the ground with a clatter.

Chapter 46 The Paladin Girl with a Very Keen Sense

"Oh, I see..." Toyokawa Shoko looked somewhat guilty at Koshimura Sawa sitting next to her. "I thought..."

"What did you think?" Yuecun Ze said irritably. "You ran away without saying a word, and I didn't even have a chance to explain."

Luckily, I'm a master of chase sequences, otherwise, with your kicking legs, I might not have been able to catch you.

"I...I didn't misunderstand—" Toyokawa Shoko's cheeks flushed slightly as she tried to explain.

"What misunderstanding?" Yuecun Ze looked at her embarrassed appearance and found it a little funny.

Toyokawa Shoko's face turned even redder, and after stammering for a long time, she couldn't come up with a coherent answer.

It seems the if statement in my brain kicked in, and I chose to run away instead of exhaling.

"Speaking of which, why were you there?" Koshimura Sawa changed the subject.

"I just came back early to help the teacher deliver the equipment because PE class was about to end!" Toyokawa Shoko replied immediately.

“I see.” Koshimura nodded. “Exercise stimulates the release of cortisol and endorphins, which can indeed lead people to make some irrational decisions.”

Toyokawa Shoko puffed out her blushing face. This scoundrel, why does he always pick on times like this to bully her!

She glared at him angrily, deciding not to talk to him for another minute, and turned to look at Sanjiao Chuhua, who was lying on the table.

"Chuhua, are you feeling better?" Her tone immediately softened.

"I'm feeling a little better... but my head still hurts a bit." Mikasa Hatsuka lifted her head from the crook of her arms, her face still pale. She tried to give Toyokawa Shoko a reassuring smile. "It's okay, it's probably just from being too tired. I'll be fine after a rest..."

"That's good..." Toyokawa Shoko breathed a sigh of relief. "Hatsuka, you should also pay attention to resting. If you always put too much pressure on yourself, you won't be able to hold on for long."

"Hmm." Misaka Hatsuka nodded weakly and looked at Toyokawa Shoko. "Speaking of which, it's been a long time, Shoko."

"It really has been a long time... about a year, I think?" Toyokawa Shoko recalled, her eyes slightly unfocused. "Time really flies..."

This year was probably the most amazing year of her life so far...

"Yes, if I hadn't run into you, I wouldn't have known you were at this school, Xiao Xiang," said Sanjiao Chuhua with some emotion.

"So, why are you here, Chu Hua?" Toyokawa Shoko asked curiously.

"Today, Principal Hanasakikawa is coming to Haneoka for a study tour, and I am here with her as a student representative."

"I see..." Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something, her gaze shifting between Koshimura Sawa and Mikami Hatsuka, "Wait, why is Sawa with you?"

泽？

Her triangular, violet-like eyes widened slightly.

Have they become so close that they can call each other by name?

The girl's smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

"Because I'm Haneoka's student representative, personally appointed by the principal to show her around the school," Koshimura Sawa interjected casually, propping his chin on his hand.

"Is that so..." Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko's gaze lingered on Koshimura Sawa for a moment before she finally nodded slightly and didn't ask any further questions.

Misaka Chuka keenly noticed the change in her emotions and quickly said, "Um, Xiaoxiang, I often read the messages you sent me, and every time I read them, I feel like I gain courage."

"The message you sent me right after my debut was confirmed: 'You've finally become the professional you've always wanted to be, as long as you keep going...'"

"You actually remember?" Toyokawa Shoko's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

“I already told you, I’m always watching,” Misaka Hatsuka repeated with a smile.

That's right, a woman who stares at a few text messages for a whole year, contributing the most time to looking at her phone camera in the entire series—what immense gravity that must be!
