Chapter 24

"You're Shien, right?"

The one who spoke to Shien in a gentle voice was a young girl who was clearly very beautiful and had a beautiful figure. However, she was wearing heavy armor and had a huge shield and sword leaning against the wall beside her.

Beside the young girl were three other female adventurers who were about the same age as her and had outstanding looks.

In other words, the private room was filled with young and outstanding female adventurers.

Such a scene made Shien stand at the door and fall into silence. He couldn't step in for a long time.

The beautiful girls in the private room were also staring at Shien with different expressions, as if they were observing him.

Under such circumstances, the gentle young girl took the initiative to stand up.

"I'm Vivian, and I'm currently the leader of this adventurer team. I'll also be your guide for the next month. You can just call me Vivian."

Vivian smiled at Shien, and her attitude seemed very kind.

However, the others weren't like that.

Shien looked at the three girls besides Vivian.

They were three girls who were no less conspicuous than Vivian in every sense of the word.

Sitting beside Vivian was a petite girl in a hooded black robe. Her entire body was almost covered by the black robe, and her face was also hidden under the hood. One could only vaguely see the fair and delicate lower half of her face, and even her eyes couldn't be seen.

Beside this black-robed girl, or rather, hiding behind her was an equally petite girl with a pair of beast ears and a beast tail. She looked cute, but her face was filled with timidity and fear of strangers. She was an Orc girl who gave people the urge to bully her.

As for the last girl, she was an Elf. She had a pair of pointed ears and waist-length emerald green hair. She wore a mage's robe and held a long staff in her arms. Her pretty face was more delicate than the rest, and she was even more dazzling than a debut idol.

In addition to Vivian, there were four beautiful girls in the room. Even the black-robed girl, whose face was almost completely hidden under the hood, could tell from the lower half of her fair face that she was definitely not inferior to the rest of them.

For such a small adventurer team, apart from Vivian who was full of gentleness and friendliness, the other three's attitudes were not considered friendly.

The black-robed girl didn't even raise her head.

The Orc girl kept hiding behind the black-robed girl, looking extremely afraid of strangers.

The Elf girl's face was even more tense, and she looked at Shien with some wariness in her eyes.

Shien didn't speak for a long time.

Because he had mixed feelings.

(An adventurer team made up entirely of beautiful girls …?)

He didn't expect this kind of setting to actually appear.

Moreover, he was about to join this adventurer team as a newcomer and the only male adventurer.

This plot …

(As usual, it's cliché.)

Shien only had this kind of mood.

Vivian, who didn't know Shien had this kind of mood, looked at him standing at the door without moving and saying a word, but the gentleness on her face didn't disappear.

Come to think of it, Vivian also understood the fact that her team was quite conspicuous in all aspects, right?

A newcomer, and a male, was suddenly arranged to join such a small team. Generally speaking, when they met, they would still feel at a loss.

So …

"Please don't feel restrained, come and sit down."

Vivian then kindly entertained Shien.

To be honest, Shien didn't really want to go in.

It wasn't that he didn't like to be with beautiful girls.

Shien was also a man, to be able to be with such a group of beautiful girls, naturally, he would be happy.

However, because of his personality, compared to happiness, Shien was more depressed.

It couldn't be helped.

(I can already imagine how much trouble I will encounter after joining this team.)

Shien silently sighed in his heart.

For him, who wanted to carry out ordinary adventuring activities and keep a low profile to improve his strength, joining this eye-catching team in front of him was really not what he wanted.

Unfortunately, things had already come to this, Shien could only walk into the private room and sit down on one of the seats.

Opposite him, Vivian and the other three sat in a row, none of them sitting with Shien.

And in front of four beautiful girls, Shien couldn't continue to stay silent.

Shien sighed in his heart while speaking.

"I'm Shien, hello."

Shien was considered to have done his best.

Seeing Shien's honest and obedient look, Vivian also felt a little relieved.

In the past, most of the male adventurers who joined Vivian's team behaved poorly when they first met.

Some of them kept sizing up Vivian and the others' looks and figures, some even wrote their inner desires directly in their eyes or on their faces, some liked to pretend to be gentlemanly and easygoing, but they couldn't hide their own thoughts. Even if they didn't have any evil intentions, they couldn't help but want to please Vivian and the others, appearing very humble.

Vivian didn't dare to judge the character of this newcomer, but it seemed like he should be an honest person, and there was no need to worry about him messing around.

Of course, she still had to observe him.

This was only the first time they met, and she still had to observe his real character.

At this thought, Vivian shot a look at her companions beside her.

Seeing this, the three young girls raised their heads one after another.

"Tierre."

The black-robed young girl introduced herself in a cold voice. Although her voice was cold, it was surprisingly pleasant to the ears, and there was even a hint of childishness in it.

"I … I'm Lumia … I … I'm looking forward to your guidance …"

The orc young girl stuttered as she reported her name, her hands still tightly holding onto Tierre's hand, undoubtedly showing her timid and shy personality.

"… I'm Merica, looking forward to your guidance."

The elven young girl also lowered her head and bowed to Shien, her delicate face still tense. Although it wasn't to say that she was hostile towards Shien, it was obvious that she was nervous and guarded against strangers.

After that, the three young girls didn't speak anymore, leaving Vivian feeling a little helpless.

As for Shien, he was relieved.

It was a normal reaction for a man to suddenly join a team full of beautiful women.

But it was precisely because of this that Sean wanted to make it clear what needed to be said.

"Miss Vivian," Shien said to Vivian, "can I really join this team?"

Shien went straight to the point.
