Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 52: Recognize Your Own Persona, Theo!

Shami once again scheduled her daily exercise time earlier, from one to three in the morning, in sync with her current physical condition, it allowed her to complete the daily fitness tasks.

This way, she could avoid running into the white-haired girl during her workout.

After all, it’s suspicious for a villager to keep doing such things.

Exercising every day like you’re training for bodybuilding?

This is definitely not part of a villager’s routine.

Shami had tried her best to avoid contact with the white-haired girl, but sometimes, it was unavoidable to see her busy figure around the village.

In the morning, Shami saw Lina again in the village, jogging lightly down a cobblestone path with a basket in hand.

"Good morning, Shami~"

Seeing Shami, the white-haired girl smiled sweetly and waved her unoccupied left hand.

"Good morning. What are you up to?"

Shami walked over and asked politely.

"You could say I’m fulfilling the villagers’ tasks."

Lina slightly raised her head. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Every day, someone in the village has tasks, and after helping out, everyone gives me a little reward. Like old village chief Lugo gives a few silver coins, Mr. Yorson at the blacksmith shop maintains my sword, and Tavern owner Deil treats me to a meal."

Totally newbie village errands, white-haired hero!

"I have no savings at all, so I have to work hard and run errands for everyone, or else even living expenses will become a problem... I can’t always rely on Miss Lureya either..."

Lina scratched her head embarrassedly, speaking while her eyes kept looking at Shami.

Shami pointed to the basket she was carrying.

"What’s this task?"

"Oh. The widow at the village entrance asked me to deliver some turtle soup to Theo and tell him a message: Recently, the soy milk is a bit watery, and the fried dough sticks aren’t holding up, so take care, blame it on me though, who told me to keep eating fried dough sticks every night hahahaha~"

Lina covered her mouth with her small hand, giggled mischievously, and after laughing, looked at Shami.

"That’s what she told me. The reward is ’Sheep Love: Theo’s Private Diary’ written by Theo over these two years."

"You don’t need to experience all that! Those words are filled with risqué metaphors! And this diary already reveals that Theo isn’t normal, Lina, next time don’t accept any tasks regarding Theo, understood?"

The previous situation with Theo and the widow nearly caused biased opinions against the Human Race from the flat golden-haired ones.

Now, we can’t let Theo ruin the image of this normal village.

Must prevent the white-haired girl from understanding the complicated relationship between Theo and the widow.

Lina nodded.

"I don’t really want to take it either. I’d rather have tasks with silver coin rewards. By the way, where is Theo’s home?"

"I’ll go with you this time."

Shami frowned, accompanying Lina to Theo’s house.

Knock on the door.

Theo opened the door holding his diary, his haggard face almost as dry as wood showing an expression of reluctance.

Lina saw Theo in person for the first time. Although she had heard from the widow earlier about his unusual appearance, actually meeting him made her swallow nervously.

He’s already beyond human!

"Are you Mr. Theo?"

"Thank you very much for your help, Miss Lina, this bowl of soup is very important to me. This is my treasured diary, in which I’ve recorded observations over the years from my close encounters with the sheep, and now I’m offering this diary as...."

Before finishing the sentence, Shami suddenly appeared from the side of the door and swiftly punched Theo in the stomach, knocking him out instantly.

Theo’s eyes bulged out, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

[Name: Theo]

[Occupation: Villager]

[Level: 7]

[Status: Extremely weakened; fainted]

For heaven’s sake, your house and the widow’s house are just 500 meters apart, and you manage to create such trashy errands by sneaking around with the widow really thinking you’re some special villager with a yellow exclamation mark is this. It’s not your role, Theo!

Shami took the diary from Theo’s arms, scanned through it, and his forehead darkened.

Though its content didn’t match his expectations, it was still quite absurd.

Lucky that he followed her, or the village’s image and the white-haired girl’s knowledge would have been tainted!

Shami threw the diary as far as possible into the small lake outside the house using a shot-put stance, then placed the soup next to Theo and shut the door.

"Task accomplished, let’s go, Lina."

He said casually.

"Is it okay? He seems to have fainted..."

Lina pointed to Theo, who was lying on the floor inside the house.

"No worries. We often play this game of punching each other when we meet."

Shami moved the white-haired girl aside, while distracting her, and led her away from the troublesome place.

"Don’t come to places like this again, even Lureya avoids here, she says it’s severely polluted."

"I don’t plan to come either... it’s like a haunted house..."

...

"Shami, thank you for keeping me company on errands~"

While slowly walking back to the village, Lina squinted her pretty eyes.

"You’re welcome."

"Today, I’m going to the nearby city’s adventure guild branch to apply for a new adventurer’s certificate. The previous one was shattered along with my spatial ring after being slammed by the Demon King."

Talking, Lina looked at Shami with some anticipation.

"Are we going to take a walk in the city together?"

Shami did not respond.

"Of course, I also made quite a bit of money these days, no need for Shami to spend a dime. There’s a merchant caravan in the nearby village, and it won’t take long to go."

Lina moved her hands nervously in front of her.

She felt the white-haired girl really wanted her to accompany her to the city, even though it seemed troublesome, considering a teleportation gate could have solved it, Shami still agreed.

He’d often vanish without a trace; today’s task was to boost his presence before the hero.

They encountered a merchant caravan not far outside the village, paid a small ferry fee, and sat in one of the carts at the back.

The white-haired girl was excited all the way.

"Shami, have you ventured out of town while I was gone?"

"Basically never..."

Shami answered truthfully.

Lina’s smile grew brighter.

Great, even better! The benefits of adventuring outside are fully realized now, Lina having visited many cities along the way, can be a competent guide, leading Shami to experience city landscapes splendidly.

Only, the money she has is a bit limited, she needs to plan carefully.

Thinking so, suddenly, there was an intense commotion outside the cart, accompanied by voices and horse neighs.

"Monsters! It’s monsters!"

The caravan leader shouted loudly.

Inside the cart, Shami and Lina simultaneously became alert.

They jumped out of the cart to find the caravan stopped in the middle of a graveyard surrounded by a swarm of skeletons. Dense forest encircled the graveyard, and the caravan’s commotion had startled numerous birds.
