Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!
Chapter 194 Encounter In The OutskirtsWithin the Quest Guild, Emilia was subjected to a form of "torture" at the front desk.
She was torn between wanting Banning to leave, and desiring him to linger a while longer.
On one hand, Emilia feared that if this continued, she would lose control over her embarrassment, potentially making an odd sound.
On the other hand, she couldn't bear to part with Banning, particularly given that it was the end of the month and the Quest Guild was exceedingly busy, ensuring their meetings would be brief and far between.
It was then that Banning uttered a sentence that sent Emilia's mind into a whirlwind of imaginative possibilities.
"Emilia, there might still be remnants of the Mayor's power... Your home isn't safe at the moment. If you don't mind, you could stay with me at the inn."
After processing Banning's words, Emilia fixated on the phrase "stay with me."
Then, she mentally translated Banning's words into an "invitation to cohabitate."
— (Cohabitate...!!)
— (Wouldn't that mean a shameless lifestyle!!!)
— (Oh my goodness /(/ /./w/.//)/! !!!!!!)
Just within the span of a second, Emilia had constructed a hundred-thousand-word diary of her "cohabitation life" with Banning.
And in the next second, she had already decided on a name for their child.
"Wait, wait! No...Banning, without a... a proposal or something... how can we... have... have a child?"
After an excessive bout of imagination, Emilia's head was buried on the front desk, her fluffy tail wagging back and forth at a frequency that the naked eye couldn't keep up with.
If someone were to pass by and inadvertently get hit by Emilia's tail, they might be sent flying out of the town — Tyler thought.
Observing Emilia, who was completely immersed in her imaginative world, Tyler knew he wouldn't be able to snap her out of it for a while.
Thus, Tyler wrote a note at the front desk, placed it beside Emilia's hand, so that when she regained her composure, she could see it immediately.
.
Upon his departure from the Quest Guild, Tyler intended to visit Oleg, the branch chief.
Before bidding farewell to Sunny Town, he wanted to discuss future plans with the veteran warrior.
Unexpectedly, as he neared Oleg's residence, he saw that it had been surrounded by the townspeople, many of whom were chanting his name.
After a brief inquiry, Tyler learned that everyone was petitioning for Oleg to be appointed the next Mayor.
— (Being a Mayor... that would at least require approval at the lord's level, right? This isn't something Oleg can decide on his own.)
From what Tyler understood, even if a Mayor wanted to pass his position to his son, it would still require a mandate from the lord.
To put it bluntly, the officials of the town-level administrative units are merely the lord's wage earners.
If one truly wished to ascend to the nobility, they would at least have to be granted land by the lord.
.
Given the crowd of people surrounding Oleg's residence, Tyler decided not to squeeze in to find Oleg just yet, planning to return later.
Shortly after, Tyler arrived at the stables to find Moto-chan.
Seeing Moto-chan, Tyler initially thought he was seeing things. In just half a night, Moto-chan had actually levelled up from 1 to 3.
This meant that after his battle with Albert last night and returning to Sunny Town, Moto-chan had actually gone out for extra training on his own.
He was like the overachiever among warhorses!
"Moto-chan, you're really going all out."
Moto-chan replied to Tyler with a determined look in his eyes, showing no signs of fatigue from staying up all night.
However, Tyler didn't want him to push himself so hard, as steady progression was the true path to becoming stronger.
"Rushing things isn't the way to go. Rest is also important. I'm punishing you by making you take a nap in the stable. If you defy this order, I won't be taking care of you in the future."
Pretending to be angry, Tyler watched as Moto-chan whinnied softly and obediently closed his eyes.
As a warhorse, Moto-chan maintained excellent habits, always sleeping standing up, ready for action at any moment.
Tyler nodded with satisfaction, then left the town.
While Tyler was faster than Moto-chan, he had wanted to find Moto-chan earlier mainly because he wanted a companion.
.
Twenty minutes later, Tyler arrived at the northern outskirts of Sunny Town. This area, near the North Wilderness, was sparsely populated and ideal for what Tyler had planned next.
The level cap for Tier 2 occupations is 50, and Tyler was already at level 40.
Learning from his previous experience, he intended to adjust his leveling pace this time to avoid wasting too much experience.
[Note: After successfully passing the "Advancement Trial" earlier, Tyler had taken out 15 mercenaries from the Mayor's forces. The total experience from these 15 individuals was 31,200, which the author forgot to calculate earlier. This has now been added and has resulted in Tyler's level rising from 38 to 40. This has no impact on the storyline. Please be informed, dear readers.]
To avoid repeating the same mistake, Tyler would spend more time improving his skill proficiency.
His visit here today was primarily to practice and master his new skill "Shadow Behind," which he acquired after advancing to the "Shadow Assassin" occupation.
━━━━━━━━━━
Skill Name: Shadow Behind - Lv1
Skill Effect:
1 Can select a "living target" within a 10-meter range, generate a "shadow duplicate" of the skill user from its shadow, and give it a one-time command.
2 The shadow duplicate cannot use skills or special abilities.
3 The shadow duplicate can exist for a maximum of 5 seconds.
4 The shadow duplicate disappears immediately when its life energy or endurance reaches zero.
5 The shadow duplicate disappears immediately when the skill user is stunned, unconscious, asleep, or dead.
6 Each use of the skill consumes 200 magic points, with a 15 seconds cooldown after use.
7 For every second the skill is activated, proficiency increases by 5 points.

Tyler was excited to acquire this skill. The value of this skill far exceeded its description. However, since Tyler still had many questions about this skill, he didn't dare to use it recklessly during his battle with Albert.
Today, in this deserted suburb, Tyler planned to thoroughly experiment and figure out the full picture of "Shadow Behind."
.
Two hours later, all the animals near the northern outskirts had been "tortured" by Tyler.
He had not only "tortured" the animals but also himself.
Correspondingly, Tyler used "Shadow Behind" twelve times, essentially mastered the method of using the skill, and looked forward to the potential growth of this skill after further upgrades.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm After working hard all morning, it was noon, and Tyler was preparing to return to Sunny Town for lunch and a nap.
However, he noticed a familiar face galloping on a horse towards the North Wilderness.
Tyler stepped into the middle of the road to reveal himself to the other person. The person, upon seeing Tyler, slowed down the horse awkwardly and finally stopped in front of Tyler.
"Granny Kasi, I never thought you could ride a horse so freely at your age," Tyler cheerfully greeted this familiar person.
"Hehe... It's like seeing a ghost in broad daylight, Banning, could you pretend as if you saw nothing?"
Granny Kasi didn't intend to hide anything. She dismounted the horse with an agile movement, more nimble than a young man in his eighteenth year.
