Surprise! I've Transmigrated Again-Chapter 232 - ⤞ The Kind-Hearted Adam Carter

"You're from the Loki Familia..."

After defeating the monster, Adam turned around and saw the elf girl Lefiya from the Loki Familia kneeling on the ground.

She clutched her injured waist, her delicate face contorted in pain as she swayed, nearly collapsing from exhaustion.

"Are you hurt?" He quickly crouched down to support her fragile body and cast 〘Heal〙 magic on her.

"Eh?" The elf girl startled.

Though elves typically despise being touched by outsiders, when Adam's hand touched her skin, she felt no revulsion.

Green light enveloped the wound on her waist. In moments, it healed completely — her skin becoming smooth and firm, her pale face regaining its color.

"How do you feel?" Adam asked with concern after completing the treatment, "Is there anywhere else that's uncomfortable? Just tell me if there is."

"No, I... I..." Lefiya looked at the man before her, stammering.

After a brief daze, she composed herself to express gratitude.

"Um, thank you so much for your healing magic!"

"No need to thank me, I'm just returning a favor." Adam waved dismissively, "Before, in the Dungeon, didn't you all warn me not to go too deep?"

"Ah! You're that person from back then!" Lefiya exclaimed in surprise.

No wonder his silhouette had seemed familiar — she recognized his build and clothing now.

Adam had assumed that back then, with her attention fully on Ais, she'd regarded him as just another passerby.

"Lefiya—! Lefiya—!"

At that moment, the Amazon sisters rushed over, having finished dealing with the monsters.

Not just the two of them, but another person was following them — 『Sword Princess』Ais. She had swiftly dispatched those monsters upon arrival.

Tiona ran over anxiously, "Are you alright, Lefiya!"

Ais also inquired, "Lefiya, are you okay?"

Though these caring words came from an expressionless face, making one question her concern, those close to her knew she simply struggled with showing emotions.

"Yes, I'm fine, Miss Ais!" Upon hearing her beloved Miss Ais's concern, Lefiya felt the injury had been worth it.

Simping gets you nowhere, young lady!

"Sorry, little bro, I was so worried about our Lefiya that I didn't thank you right away." Tiona flashed a broad grin, slapping Adam's shoulder with energetic gratitude.

He shook his head, "It's fine, consider it repayment for your warning in the Dungeon."

"Hm? What do you mean?" Tiona asked, confused, "Little bro, have we met before?"

"..."

Why does Lefiya remember while you, the person directly involved, have completely forgotten?!

Adam was speechless, exasperated by this apparently brainless Amazon girl.

Actually, it wasn't just her — except for Lefiya, the others had long forgotten about him too.

"Never mind, it would be troublesome to explain. Just consider it me lending a helping hand." Spotting monsters still rampaging in the distance, he worried about civilians getting hurt, "That's all, I'll be going now. There are other monsters that need dealing with."

With that, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished instantly.

"What's with that guy?" Tione glared at where the lightning had disappeared, "We wanted to properly thank him. Why did he suddenly run off?"

In her eyes, aside from their Captain, no other men were worth her attention. The newly met Adam was no exception.

Ais turned to Lefiya, "That person, does Lefiya know him?"

Though her face remained expressionless, the elf girl could read interest in her eyes.

She immediately grew jealous. Anyone who might compete with her for Ais was her enemy!

Even though she knew it wasn't right to be hostile toward Adam who had just saved her life, even though it went against elf pride, she couldn't help feeling bitter.

Why, why is it like this? It was me, it was me who first...

However, since her beloved Ais was asking, she wouldn't hide the truth, and immediately told them about their previous encounter in the Dungeon.

"Oh... no wonder that little bro talked about repaying a favor, so I had said something like that to him before." The careless Tiona clapped her hands.

It seemed she finally remembered warning a passerby in the Dungeon before.

Then she proudly boasted to her sister, "See? You said not to talk to strangers in the Dungeon, but isn't it thanks to me that Lefiya was saved this time!"

"This is a special case! You won't always meet such good people, and they definitely won't appear at just the right moment!" Tione angrily smacked her sister's head, "In dangerous places like the Dungeon, you need to stay alert at all times, you stupid little sister!"

"How mean!" Ignoring her sister's loud protests, Tione turned to Ais, "Ais, when you asked about that guy, did you notice something?"

"No, I'm simply interested in him."

"Eh—!!!" Hearing these worrisome words, Lefiya immediately cried out in alarm, "What do you mean by interested, Miss Ais!"

Though aware of the misunderstanding, Ais explained with her usual calm expression, "Nothing special, I'm just interested in his strength."

"Oh, so that's what it was." Lefiya patted her chest in relief.

"But speaking of which, Lefiya, you haven't fallen for that little bro, have you? A hero saving a damsel in distress — isn't this just like a classic story from the Argonaut Tales!"

[Tales of the Argonaut] was her favorite story. Combined with how Lefiya hadn't resisted being held in his arms during healing, she suspected the elf girl had fallen for that little bro.

"Th-That's impossible!" Lefiya quickly denied it while secretly glancing at Ais, afraid she might misunderstand.

"Actually, that person is one of the Pure. I discovered this when he touched me."

"Really?!" x3

All three were surprised.

"Yes, it's true. When he touched me, I felt pure energy envelope my body and soul, making me unconsciously want to get closer." Lefiya's words sounded like a confession.

But all three knew that wasn't her meaning.

Afterward, the four split into two groups — Ais continued executing Goddess Loki's mission to eliminate monsters, while the Amazon sisters took the injured Lefiya back to the Loki Familia.

Even though she looked healthy now, they still insisted on taking her back to their base.

"Be careful, Ais."

"Mm, I will."

Ais responded, then leaped onto the rooftops and headed toward the nearest monster location.

✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧

After parting with the four girls from Loki Familia, Adam continued patrolling the town, eliminating the rampaging monsters one by one.

By sunset, when the last monster fell and the sun met the distant horizon, he finally finished his task.

"Phew, finally done." He wiped the sweat from his forehead and descended from the sky.

Just as he landed, a voice called out his name.

"Adam—!"

"Hm?"

Looking toward the voice, he saw a petite maid with gray short hair — Syr.

Her appearance was pitiful — her small face smeared with soot, her maid uniform torn and tattered, with small wounds from scattered wooden splinters marking her skin.

"Syr, why are you here?" Adam quickly stepped forward, instinctively casting〘Heal〙magic on her.

"When the monsters suddenly appeared, I couldn't make it back to the tavern. With nowhere else to go, I hid here."

Syr gestured to the collapsed house behind her, indicating her hiding place.

"Thank you, Adam."

The healing magic restored her body, and she thanked him with a bright smile.

"I'm glad you weren't seriously injured." Adam exhaled with relief, "Come on, I'll take you back."

"Mm, thank you, Adam." Syr followed behind him, walking toward the tavern.

"Oh right, this is for you." He retrieved a purse from his chest, "Your wallet — Anya asked me to deliver it, but I couldn't find you."

"Ah, I hadn't even noticed. Thank you, Adam." Syr accepted the purse with a soft thanks, "To repay your kindness, let me treat you to dinner... I'll cook it myself."

"I must decline!" Adam refused instantly.

"Eh—! Why?!"

"Listen, that's not repayment — it's punishment!"

"How could that be? I've been working so hard to improve my cooking for Adam to accept it!"

"But... you haven't improved at all, have you!" As if he could no longer bear the thought of her dark cuisine, Adam shouted, "If you want me to eat it, at least make it within the realm of what humans can accept, you cooking-challenged maid!"

However, despite his protests, he still ended up having a feast at the tavern as repayment.

Of course, it wasn't cooked by Syr.
