Dungeon Teaming Badge
Quality: Purple
Introduction: Do you have trustworthy companions? Do you have the 'best configuration' for gaming? With this badge, you can bring them into the Underground City together for a fun time slaying monsters and clearing dungeons. However, it's worth noting that even with the badge, they cannot level up.
Additionally, lives within the Underground City can also leave the Underground City and travel to other worlds by wearing the badge!
The badge comes with a positioning function.
Entry and exit from the Underground City require the host's invitation!
Otherwise, to others, it's just an exquisite and beautiful brooch.
"It can't let the wearer level up, and they can't freely enter or exit the Underground City. The effect of this teaming badge isn't great, but I like it."
Naruto nodded in satisfaction.
"Speaking of which, who should I give it to?"
Naruto thought about it and felt that currently, only Hinata was suitable.
But he temporarily had no plans to bring Hinata into the Underground City.
Until his strength truly became powerful enough to fear nothing in the Ninja World, Naruto decided to keep the secret of the Underground City to himself.
If he didn't actively invite the badge wearer into the Underground City, this purple-quality Underground City teaming badge was actually no different from a GPS tracker, at most a bit more aesthetically pleasing, usable as a pretty brooch.
"Naruto, let's stay at Ryder's place tonight."
A gentle voice came from behind.
Naruto turned around and saw Alicia jogging to catch up, her eyes sparkling.
Golden, soft, art-like knee-length hair.
Delicate skin as white as milk.
Stunning beauty.
A voluptuous figure.
A temperament no less than that of a noble lady from the capital.
And the Sword of Libra, symbolizing justice and law.
Could she be the Sword Saintess from the "Goblin Slayer" world?
"The Sword Saintess's symbol is a black blindfold, and she doesn't have one."
"However, the current timeline is clearly earlier, so it's possible the Sword Saintess's eyes haven't been injured yet."
The Sword Saintess was 15 years old when she was knocked unconscious from behind by a Goblin, subjected to continuous abuse, and her eyes were burned by a torch, leaving her with severe and irreparable internal trauma.
"Alicia, how old are you this year?" Naruto asked out of the blue.
"Hmm? 15 years old."
"Hehe, I'm older than you, hurry up and call me big sister."
Alicia tried to pat Naruto's head, but Naruto easily dodged her.
A dexterity value of 10 wasn't just for show.
"No, I won't call you that."
"Hmm—why not?"
"You clearly let me pat your head and called me Sister Priestess at the Adventurers' Guild this morning."
Alicia flicked her ponytail and puffed out her cheeks, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"At the Adventurers' Guild, I treated you as a stranger, so I was more polite and formal. Now that you're not a stranger, I won't call you big sister."
As Naruto spoke, he had already concluded in his heart that Alicia was the Sword Saintess!
The tragedy of the original story must not happen again!
Naruto and the Sword Saintess walked side by side on the country road. After a moment of silence, he said, "Alicia."
"What's wrong?"
The Sword Saintess was surprised by Naruto's serious tone.
"Leave the Kane Adventurer Team."
"Pfft~"
The Sword Saintess chuckled, her ample chest jiggling.
"Hahaha, I thought you were going to say something important!"
"Don't worry, the Kane Adventurer Team was a temporary join a few days ago. After these two days of getting along, I feel that I'm still not suitable to be their teammate."
In fact, even if Naruto hadn't said anything, she was planning to leave the Kane Adventurer Team after this mission was completed.
"Kane and Ryder often look at me strangely, and Dalia openly and secretly ostracizes me. I can't stay in this adventurer team." The Sword Saintess sighed softly.
"Hmm, that's good then."
"There's one more thing that's even more important: don't go into the forest to kill Goblins, don't go into the forest to kill Goblins, don't go into the forest to kill Goblins!" Naruto emphasized three times, his tone incredibly serious.
"Are you worried about me?"
The Sword Saintess's cheeks flushed slightly.
"Sort of."
"Anyway, remember my words: stay far away from Goblins. Staying away from Goblins means staying away from misfortune." Naruto reminded her again.
"Oh, and."
Feeling uneasy, Naruto took out an exquisite and luxurious badge from his item bar and placed it in the Sword Saintess's hand.
"What a beautiful badge!"
The Sword Saintess exclaimed in surprise, her sapphire-like eyes sparkling with wonder.
It had to be said that this Underground City teaming badge, a reward from the hidden quest, was indeed exquisite and luxurious. It was shaped like a small angel's wing, inlaid with silver and gold, and adorned with dozens of sparkling Diamond .
"It's for you. You must wear it carefully, don't lose it, and definitely don't give it to anyone else!" Naruto said with a pained expression.
He had originally planned to save it for his future wife.
However, worried about the Sword Saintess having an accident, he decided to give it to her first.
As for Hinata, she would have to wait until he obtained a new badge.
After admiring the badge with reluctance, the Sword Saintess, though a bit unwilling to part with it, didn't hesitate and returned it to Naruto, "I've only seen brooches like this on princesses and noble ladies in the capital. It's too precious, I can't accept it!"
"It's a family heirloom, it doesn't cost anything. Just take it since I'm giving it to you."
"Who says family heirlooms don't cost anything? Take it back, otherwise, if your parents find out, they'll probably spank you senseless."
"My parents... are dead."
Naruto's expression darkened.
He was an orphan in his previous life, overworked to death, and transmigrated as Naruto, still an orphan.
"I'm... I'm so sorry."
"I... I didn't mean to bring it up..."
The Sword Saintess immediately became flustered, unsure how to comfort Naruto. Seeing his pitiful, downcast appearance, her maternal instincts were instantly aroused. With tender affection, she pulled Naruto into her embrace and held him tightly.
"!?"
Naruto's clear blue eyes widened.
Before he could fully register it, a strong feeling of suffocation overwhelmed him.
Naruto quickly patted the Sword Saintess, signaling her to let go.
"Phew..."
"I almost suffocated."
Naruto greedily took a deep breath, exhaled a long sigh, and glanced at the Sword Saintess's curvaceous figure with lingering fear.
"I'm... I'm sorry..."
The Sword Saintess blushed slightly in embarrassment, leaning on her Sword of Libra staff, and asked shyly and awkwardly, "How about... didn't you say you were sleepy just now?"
Naruto froze.
"If you're not sleepy—"
The Sword Saintess suddenly looked up.
"Sleepy!!"
"I'm so sleepy."
"Today was really too tiring!"
Naruto yawned, pretended to rub his eyes, and acted as if he was extremely sleepy.
"Then... then... let's go back first... and then..."
