Chapter 615: The 'Childish' Father

In the story, Dunyarzad and Dehya appearing here was Dunyarzad's idea.

No particular reason—just because Dehya was about to return to the desert, Dunyarzad wanted to seize the time to take her around, stroll, and relax a bit.

[Dunyarzad said: "Staying two or three more days wouldn't matter—I haven't had the chance for my father to make his specialty dish for you yet."]

[Dehya shook her head: "You know I can't sit still, miss. It's fine—there'll be another chance next time."]

Through this dialogue, the readers also felt just how good their relationship truly was.

Dunyarzad's dad didn't treat Dehya as a mere mercenary at all—this was completely like a goddaughter, right?

The last time someone went to another's home to eat parents' home-cooked meals was Mona—with her and Fischl's relationship also being extremely good.

Others' relationships aren't bad, but mainly there aren't many with parents involved.

[Paimon sighed: "I really admire you—not wavering at all upon hearing the three words 'specialty dish.'"]

This made the readers laugh—there aren't many who would waver at those three words, right? Little Paimon, you're one.

Mona, don't laugh—you're one too.

Unexpectedly, Mona agreed with Paimon's statement, because she really couldn't remain unmoved by the three words "specialty dish."

She couldn't say 'no' to Fischl's mom's specialty dish—because it was really delicious, and free.

One could only say, that's very lifelike.

But after agreeing, Mona began deep reflection—how did she end up having the same thoughts as Paimon? Am I that gluttonous?

Mona isn't really gluttonous—she's the extreme opposite; usually eating few good things, so she can't refuse delicacies.

Paimon is different—raised well by the Traveler, having eaten all sorts of good food, yet still unable to refuse delicacies—pure gluttony.

The two of them can't refuse, but Dehya's favorite thing in life is saying 'no' to people she believes she has absolute advantage over!

Seeing that even specialty dish couldn't keep Dehya, Dunyarzad was pulling out the big move! She wanted to go to the desert with Dehya! It just so happened they had agreed to it before.

A person is different once cured—previously, Dunyarzad couldn't even leave Sumeru City; now she casually wants to go to the desert. In the future, wherever she wants to go, I wouldn't dare imagine.

Unfortunately, Dehya said 'no' again—she refused to take Dunyarzad to the desert.

Not that she didn't want to take Dunyarzad out to play, mainly because the desert hasn't been peaceful lately—how could she let Dunyarzad go with peace of mind.

Dehya's refusals weren't once or twice—she used various excuses to keep delaying, only promising to handle the troupe matters soon, then take Dunyarzad.

[Dunyarzad gently said: "Okay, I understand. Actually, I'm not being willful in making the request—it's more like... some kind of intuition or something."]

["Ever since you came to our house this time, I've felt you were in a hurry, restless."]

["Did you encounter some troublesome matter, that's why you've been delaying our agreement over and over?"]

Intuition aside for now—at this moment, the readers were truly moved once again by Dunyarzad's gentleness.

The agreed-upon thing delayed so long, yet not angry at all! Even helping the other find reasons and excuses.

Nothing more to say—understand Vihar, become Vihar, surpass Vihar!

Knight of Flowers—we can be one too! Fifty years or a hundred, whatever!

We don't need flowers to bloom for us—we only hope to pass by her blooming, and then... forever pause for it—Dainsleif.

Frailty of body, strength of soul, paired with a gentle personality—Dunyarzad has quite the charm.

The last one to make everyone think this was Mona—one could only say these pure love warriors really have good taste.

Dunyarzad in the story isn't just gentle—she's also very smart.

She knew that asking Dehya directly would make the other hide it—she understands her friend.

As expected, Dehya shook her head saying she was fine, so Dunyarzad continued:

["Then can you promise? Friends shouldn't deceive each other—as long as you nod, I won't ask further."]

This left Dehya speechless—well-meaning deception is to avoid worrying the other, but if it would hurt the other, Dehya couldn't say it.

Dehya was helpless—Dunyarzad was really "troublesome"—she could only give in.

Originally, she didn't want Dunyarzad to know these things, because the mercenary world is dog-eat-dog—not suitable for Dunyarzad to know.

But Dunyarzad didn't mind—she just smiled and said:

["Still the same words—we're good friends. If I don't understand your concerns, how can I support and help you?"]

Support and help—from the start, Dunyarzad never thought of stopping her—she would only be Dehya's backing.

For some reason, just seeing this section made some readers' hearts ache—such a friend, or wife, really wanted!

Dehya was even more touched seeing it, but she didn't show it—the two no longer needed too many words; Dunyarzad could feel Dehya's emotions.

However, regarding Dehya's troubles in the story, neither Dunyarzad inside nor outside the story knew, so she read quite seriously.

Dehya in the story mentioned "Remnants of the God King"—hearing the name, one might think it's in the same series as "Court of Desolation."

But it's different—this is an organization that believes in the Scarlet King, not ruins.

The previously very active "Eye of Al-Ahmar" is a subordinate organization of this.

And what troubled Dehya was a subordinate group under "Remnants of the God King" causing trouble in the desert—that organization was her father's troupe.

Now everyone understood why Dehya's mood was low—no one would want their father to be a bad person.

[Dehya sighed: "In my impression, the old him—though not accomplished, still had a bottom line in doing things."]

["He was loud and carefree, particularly noisy, personality very casual. Not doing proper things all day, always drinking, and quite lecherous."]

Seeing Dehya's evaluation of her father, everyone felt Kusayla wasn't great—full of flaws from head to toe.

Dehya didn't even know who her mother was, because her father was very lecherous—he himself didn't know which fling produced the child.

["Though he always said 'as long as there's dad, it's enough,' but basically all matters he left to the troupe members, only telling me stories."]

["The key is his taste was very poor—few stories he knew, and all outdated old ones."]

["The brave warrior of the sand city defeats the giant dragon in the forest, the mercenary overcomes all difficulties to finally rescue the princess from the rebels, that sort."]

The readers chuckled lightly—quite cute, a childish father.
