Having obtained the key, Annie stood in front of the door, thinking that if it was a wooden door locked from the inside with a bolt, she would have to use the slime sword to open it.
Thinking it over, he unlocked the door with his key and pushed it open.
He froze as soon as he opened the door.
In his line of sight, the Thousand Warriors moved the mirror from the changing room outside, next to which sat an unfinished doll that looked exactly like Ruby, except for its bloodless face.
Ruby stood in front of the mirror, one hand raised high, the other hand measuring her ribs with her fingers, as if confirming the size of her ribs.
Yes, she was naked in the room, making her own doll while looking in the mirror.
Although she was facing away from An Yi, the mirror was facing the door.
From An-yi's perspective, everything is laid out before her.
"Hmm...?" Ruby froze, her gaze meeting Annie's in the mirror.
Then, Annie watched in the mirror as her face, from her neck down, quickly turned red.
"Ugh!!" Ruby sat down on the ground, covering her private parts with her hands, and shouted in shame, "Sword Sword Sword Sword Sword Sword Hero, why didn't you knock on the door?!"
An Yi: "...?"
Did I not knock?
No, I knocked on the door.
"Put your clothes on." An Yi closed the door expressionlessly.
Turning around, she saw Miluko standing behind her, her face flushed.
An Yi: "..."
Miluko: "Ah... um... I didn't see anything...!"
And...and I've already gotten used to it...!
Annie: "I'm used to it too."
I've gotten used to Miluko's "sexy radar".
She would always appear by some unexpected twist of fate whenever a misunderstanding was about to occur!
"Where did you go?" An Yi simply changed the subject.
At this moment, Miluko was carrying a heavy backpack on her back.
She paused for a moment, recovering from the scene just now, and put her backpack on the ground and opened it.
Although An Yi changed the subject, the blush on her face hadn't faded. She glanced around and explained to An Yi in a slightly shy tone, "Um..."
"A thousand brave warriors... I went to town to buy her some materials, clay and plaster... and things like that."
An Yi: "..."
Don't talk about serious matters with such a shy expression.
Calm down! Just stay calm and peaceful!
An Yi glanced into her backpack; it contained several paper packets.
Just then, the door opened again.
"Ahem!" Ruby coughed lightly, feigning seriousness. "I was just... just gathering material! So please don't misunderstand, Mr. Sword Hero!"
Even though she tried her best to remain calm, the temperature on her face didn't seem to drop at all; it was still flushed, almost like a hot flush.
An Yi: "Okay."
Hmm... what else could it be misunderstood as?
"Boom."
Milu beat An Yi to it and placed the heavy backpack in the room. The heavy sound made An Yi glance at the backpack.
In that instant, Miluko darted forward, gathered up the underwear that had been carelessly tossed on the ground and stuffed it into her pocket, then grabbed a blanket and covered the half-finished doll with it.
Because the upper body, from the chest upwards, has been sculpted in great detail, although I don't know if An Yi has seen it, it still needs to be covered up!
An Yi's gaze lingered on the backpack for a moment, but Milu had already finished all the tasks on it, so An Yi didn't see what she had done.
"Take the materials for making human heads and come with me. I need you to make human heads on the spot for the orcs to see."
"Otherwise they'll riot," Annie said.
"Huh...?" Ruby was also confused. "Now?"
"Hmm, what's wrong? Don't you want to go?" An Yi asked.
"Ah... um... but this is for the purpose of defeating the demons, right? I'll try my best!" Ruby subconsciously hugged her chest and squeezed her thighs together slightly.
She wasn't wearing anything underneath!
Should I tell the Sword Hero that I need to change my clothes first?
She was currently wearing a makeshift hero outfit, without even a shirt underneath.
But I'm already dressed on the surface!
If I say I need to go back to change, wouldn't that waste time? It might even make me seem like I'm stalling for time.
……No!
She came out this time with the intention of seriously fighting against the demons!
We can't let this little thing stop us!
"Where...where is the Beastman Nine? Take me there..." Ruby forced out the words through gritted teeth, her smile stiff.
An Yi thought it was her social anxiety acting up: "Don't be afraid, just treat the orcs like... puppets."
Ruby: "Hahaha..."
She chuckled twice, took two packets of materials from the backpack Miluko had brought, and left with An Yi.
Milu poked her head out of the room, glanced at Ruby's long hair that was dragging on the floor, and then silently took out her underwear from her pocket.
That guy... wasn't wearing anything underneath!
Couldn't you have taken a little longer to put all your clothes on properly?!
However, thinking about how Ruby had looked at her own body in the mirror earlier, Milu suddenly felt it made sense.
Artists always have their quirks...
Chapter 23 The Undying Hero (4k)
[Private] Food Hero: Sword Hero!! The blood plasma is ready!! Although there should only be one flavor right now, it's done!
[Private] Sword Hero: Well done, very efficient.
Annie nodded secretly, then glanced at Ruby, who was standing absentmindedly beside her.
“Before we go see the orcs, let’s go to the kitchen first. The backup heroes have already made the blood plasma,” An’i said.
"Huh? Blood plasma...? What blood plasma?" Ruby was stunned.
"Your doll's head doesn't have any blood, so the backup heroes made blood plasma. Didn't I tell you that?" An Yi asked.
"Ah...ah! So that's what it was! I remember now!" Ruby laughed awkwardly.
Wu was so focused on what was inside the clothes that he completely forgot about this!
Death...wait!
"No, you mean... the blood plasma was made? I remember it was only a short time ago!" Ruby suddenly realized.
"Hmm, let's go check first before going to the orcs."
"If their blood can pass for real blood when placed in front of orcs, then our plan will be a success," An'i said.
Ruby followed behind Annie in silence for a while, then looked up and asked, "Um... I mean... the orcs' families... it's been so long now, wouldn't they..."
She hesitated, because she didn't want to see that happen either. After all, the heroes had been working so hard for so long, and she had even helped them, only to end up with a painful solution.
She doesn't want to see something like that!
“It’s hard to say,” Annie glanced at her. “But whatever their family’s current situation, what we need to do remains the same.”
"So that means letting the orcs take the fake head back."
Q: "What if it turns out to be fake?" Ruby asked.
uAnyi: "That's your problem."
Ruby: "Ah—!!"
She covered her head and let out a mournful cry.
It was discovered that it was fake; it just meant she wasn't convincing enough!
“If it’s discovered that it’s fake, the orcs will be in even greater danger,” An’i continued.
"No, no, no, please stop! I'm under so much pressure right now! I feel like I'm going to die from stress!" Ruby pleaded, her face contorted in pain.
An Yi: "We can't let the orcs actually kill people, nor can we let them go back empty-handed."
Therefore, this is the only option.
If we are truly exposed, then there's nothing we can do about it.
"...So the beastmen are the ones who are unlucky?" Ruby realized something.
An Yi remained silent and did not answer.
Yes, they're just unlucky.
Having gone this far, it's practically impossible for humans to kill while simultaneously fulfilling their duties.
We have done our best to protect the lives of their family members.
It's not that Ruby did anything wrong that she was exposed by the goblins; it's just that she had done her best and there was nothing more she could do.
As Ruby walks down the street, she inevitably attracts the attention of the people rebuilding the city and other heroes.
So she would subconsciously hide behind An Yi, like a shy child, walking back and forth behind An Yi, trying to avoid other people's gaze as much as possible.
As she passed by, she saw blood-red tentacles moving timber in mid-air and cutting logs.
