Chapter 374: 16-Year-Old Inglis and Leone’s Homecoming (2)

Why are there so many people? Rafinha wondered, her head tilted to one side in confusion.

Maybe theyve realized Leone is back home, so they came to see her?

! Could they be here to bully Leone again?! And this time in a group?!

Rafinha wore a clear scowl on her face.

It might not be that?

But if it is, we have to chase them away before they can hurt Leone! Come on, Glis!

With urgency, Rafinha tugged firmly on Inglis hand.

Alright, alright. Then, Miss Eris, please land safely.

Ahwait! Theres no rush; we'll land soon enough!

I cant wait! I need to go now!

Determined, Rafinha clung tightly to Inglis' back as she spoke.

Im the one going, though?

Your strength is my strength, Glis!

Fufu. That is true!

Carrying Rafinha on her back, Inglis leaped gracefully from the Star Princess unit, landing firmly right before the group gathered at the Olpha Residences gate. The sudden appearance of a little girl with another little girl on her back, descending from the sky, clearly surprised the crowd.

Ooh?!! What just happened?!

Did they really just fall from the sky?!

Inglis greeted the gathered people warmly, putting on her best smile.

Good day, everyone. May I ask why you are here?

If youve come to speak ill of Leone, then speak to us instead! Please, just go home!

With that, Rafinha beckoned everyone to follow her inside through the gate.

You can't, Rani remember its someone elses house, right?

Its fine, were friends! I know Leone will be happy to see us!

Rafinha said, wearing a bright smile that reflected her happiness for Leone. That smile always had a way of melting Inglis' resolve. Now that Rafinha bore the added charm of a six-year-old's cuteness, the persuasive power of her smile had only amplified.

Umm, it can't be helped, then.

Alright! Lets go in~

As Rafinha moved to open the gate, some hesitations came from the crowd.

N-, no, wait, we shouldnt

Right. If she cant forgive us, entering her home might just cause more trouble.

Would you be able to convey our feelings to her?

The knights appeared reserved, perhaps feeling uneasy approaching Leone with their apologies while accompanied by children as young as Inglis and Rafinha.

Eeh~ Dont worry about it.

Just as Rafinha tried to reassure them, the gate opened from the other side, revealing Eris. She had evidently landed in the garden and come to open the gate from within.

Ah, Miss Eris. Thank you.

Rafinha expressed her gratitude nonchalantly, but the sight of Eris stunned the gathered crowd. They were, after all, face to face with the Hyrule Menace, revered as the guardian deity of the entire kingdom.

O-, Ooooh.?!

L-, Lady Eris?!

See? Even the Hyrule Menace is welcoming us. Come on, everyone!

Rafinha encouraged them to follow her inside, but Eris wore a serious expression, halting everyone with a stern warning.

Hold on! It might be dangerous!
