Chapter 304: Fierce Lolis
"Priest Uncle, you couldn't have forgotten, right? I'm Ai Ke Lu."
The Little Loli with a cute Ponytail tied on the right side of her head saw my Cold Sweat dripping and wrinkled her cute little nose in dissatisfaction. She pointed at herself with one finger, seemingly wanting me to look closely at her Appearance. So she tried hard to stand on her tiptoes and bring her round, cute face closer, but due to the Height Issue, no matter how hard she tried, her face still remained a Distance from my Eyes, and her eye sockets couldn't help but slowly become Moist.
Looking at the "Left Ponytail" next to her, her large eye sockets with long, doll-like eyelashes were already glistening with a little water. She took a small step back, covered her mouth with her small hand, and looked at me with an Incredulous Expression. Her delicate little nose, carved like pink jade, twitched occasionally, looking like a mountain flood was about to erupt. It seemed as if I had heartlessly abandoned her.
Am I... am I a Sinner? Yes, I, who can't even remember the Names of the Twins Lolis, have already lost the Qualification to continue being a normal Man. God, please punish me and turn me into a Cross-dresser.
Just as I was praying for God's forgiveness, the Students nearby who hadn't had Time to disperse noticed the abnormality here. They couldn't help but stop their Footsteps and gathered around in twos and threes to watch. It seems the Figures of the Gossip party are indeed everywhere.
Seeing more and more people watching, I thought to myself, this is bad. If this continues, the rumor of "Annihilation Elder heartlessly abandoning ten-year-old Twins Lolis" will be heard in the "New" Rogue Bar tomorrow.
Thinking of this, I was truly sweating. Just then, my Brain finally cooperated. With a flash of inspiration, I finally remembered where I had seen these two Little Lolis.
"How could I forget? You are the Younger Sister, Little Ai Ke Lu. And you are the Older Sister, Little Xi Lu Si, right?"
I quickly bent down, forced out a kind and friendly smile, then stroked Ai Ke Lu's Little Head, and couldn't help but gently stroke her cute little Ponytail.
"Mhm mhm, that's right! I knew it, how could Priest Uncle forget us? See? Right, Older Sister?"
As if a violent chemical reaction had occurred, as soon as my words fell, Ai Ke Lu burst into laughter through her tears, revealing her innocent smile again. Excitedly, she hooked her arm through mine and turned back to her Twins Older Sister, saying.
"Mhm, woo woo~~" Older Sister Xi Lu Si happily wiped the Corner of her Eye, nodding her Head with a cute Expression.
That was a close call. I secretly let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the Students around, hey, hey, what's with the disappointed Expressions on your faces? Are you busybodies? Are the melodramatic Love stories from Korean dramas that captivating to you?
"I didn't expect you two to actually come here to train as Clerics. You really surprised me."
Older Sister Xi Lu Si was more Shy. She twisted and nudged closer. When I said this while stroking her Head, her face instantly turned red and enticing like a red apple from being Shy.
"Thanks to Priest Uncle, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to come here."
Younger Sister Ai Ke Lu was bolder, or perhaps it should be said she didn't understand the need for caution between men and women at all. She just hooked her arm through mine and then wrapped her entire arm around mine. To outsiders, it looked like she was Act Spoiled while Hooked onto my Body.
Speaking of which, I met this pair of Twins Little Lolis when I was in Lut Gholein. At that Time, I entered the Village as a Cleric and met them. Besides them, there were two others who left a deeper impression on me: a particularly clingy snot-nosed Kid around four or five years old, who even wiped his hands on my Clothes several times when I left; and another tall, sturdy, and honest-looking boy around twelve or thirteen, whose future dream was to become a Paladin.
"Wu, you know these two little cuties from our Training Camp too?" Akara on the side asked curiously.
"Yes, I met them while traveling and treating illnesses in Lut Gholein."
I answered implicitly. With Akara's Wisdom, she naturally understood what I meant.
"Yes, yes, Grandma Akara. It was meeting Priest Uncle that made us determined to become excellent Clerics, just like Priest Uncle."
Ai Ke Lu said excitedly. Her Gaze towards me carried almost blind worship, which made me feel a bit embarrassed. What kind of excellent Cleric was I? Just a half-baked person muddling through with a Priest Book.
"So that's how it is. Wu, you've found two Good Seeds for our Camp and earned another Merit." Akara's Eyes lit up, and she smiled warmly.
"Priest Uncle~~"
At this Time, Xi Lu Si, who had been silent on the other side, grabbed my hand and gently shook it. That cute Voice, like a Kitten's soft meow, was simply irresistible.
She looked at me somewhat timidly, hesitating to speak. As if secretly cheering herself on, she took a deep breath, and finally spoke.
"Priest Uncle, those... those eleven Books you gave us, because, because the Village couldn't gather enough Travel Expenses for me and Ai Ke Lu, so we sold one. You won't be angry, right? Woo woo~~" After saying this, her Eyes were already red, and she was sobbing.
And on the other side, Ai Ke Lu also thought I would definitely be angry, and she was gently sobbing with teary Eyes.
"How could I? It's just a Book. I have as many as you want. It's Uncle who was wrong for not thinking about your Travel Expenses at the Time." I quickly hugged the two Little Lolis, one on each side, comforting them gently, feeling a bit like laughing and crying inside.
Twins are good, and the Degree of their cuteness and appeal is definitely not as simple as multiplying by two. But once they get sad and cry, the trouble is definitely more than double.
"But... but that was a Treasure Priest Uncle gave us! We clearly swore to cherish it for a lifetime, woo woo~~"
Feeling my chest area starting to get wet, in my Helplessness, I could only look at Akara with a pleading Gaze.
The Rogue Leader's skill wasn't just for show. In just a few words, she coaxed the pair of Little Lolis from tears to laughter. It was hundreds of times more effective than my ten-plus minutes of comforting. At this moment, I truly had a slight Idea of becoming her apprentice.
Next, I learned the course of the Matter from them. Not long after I left, Ai Ke Lu and Xi Lu Si, who didn't even know what Money was, proposed that they wanted to become "great Clerics." That Grandma Village Chief was also a decisive person. Without knowing if there was a Priest Training Camp or if the Twins even had Priest Talent, she resolutely took out all the Village's Funds. In her mind, if the two could become Clerics, it would be a great Glory for the entire Village. If not, it would just mean the Villagers would have to tighten their belts for two years. Her Idea received the support of the simple Villagers, and thus, the future of the Twins was decided.
Of course, it wasn't smooth sailing the whole Time. When the old Village Chief finally managed to bring the Twins to Lut Gholein, she herself was a bit confused. What should she do next? She wandered around Lut Gholein asking for a long Time. The experiences during that period were enough to write a travelogue about a country person entering the City. It wasn't until the very end that she learned there were no institutions for training Clerics in Lut Gholein at all.
After that, the Village Chief didn't give up. She believed that since there was a Cleric (meaning me), there must be a Priest Training Camp. Subsequently, she brought the two to the Mage Guild. It was quite a coincidence. She happened to meet Talen. If it had been any other ordinary Sorceress, they wouldn't have known the Secret of the Priest Training Camp at all. He had only vaguely heard a Single Point about it from Fara.
At first, Talen didn't pay much attention. Such things happened frequently, and because of this, he almost missed two valuable Talents. But when the Twins Little Lolis mentioned "Priest Uncle," it immediately caught his attention. He had also heard a little about the Cleric who was one of the Lut Gholein Three Heroes. He could be said to be the most Mysterious Adventurer in the entire Western Kingdoms, bar none. If it was him...
Thinking of this, Talen also misunderstood. He thought the Twins had been recommended by that Mysterious Cleric. He didn't ask further. He started having wild thoughts in his Inner Heart—since it was that Mysterious Cleric who said it, then these Twins most likely had extraordinary Priest Aptitude/Talent. After all, he wasn't an expert in this area. Naturally, he took the other party's judgment as "authority."
Thus, by such a fortunate mistake, the Twins were decided upon by Talen with a single word and sent back to the Rogue Encampment using Remote Teleportation. This was also due to Talen's Luck; the Twins happened to indeed have Priest Aptitude/Talent. If they hadn't, he would have had to send the Twins back at that Time, and the round trip Consumption would have definitely caused the Stingy Guy Fara to skin Talen alive.
Speaking of this, even Akara, who had mastered the Prophecy Power of the Great Eye, sighed. A person's Opportunity is truly unpredictable. Perhaps just a tiny link, and the Camp would have lost these two valuable Talents, while the Twins would have only been able to live an ordinary life in their Village.
However, among all this, what I admire most is that old Village Chief, not only because of her Vision/Insight, but also her persistence. An old Village Chief who hadn't seen much of the world and was powerless to even tie up a chicken, bringing two innocent yet Mouth-watering Twins Lolis, wandering around in the mixed-up Lut Gholein City. The hardships and sorrow during that Time are imaginable. Especially when I casually asked about their experiences in Lut Gholein City, Xi Lu Si and Ai Ke Lu's Eyes turned red. They said there were many times when the three of them were chased by many bad people who wanted to catch them, and it was always the Grandma Village Chief who Protected them and helped them escape. She, an old person, came back covered in bruises and wounds. Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel even more respect for the old Village Chief.
"Don't worry, Uncle will make sure those wicked people receive the punishment they deserve."
I hugged these lovable Little Lolis tenderly, a fierce Light flashing in my Eyes. It was Time to let that dead fatty clean up Lut Gholein City. As for those who dared to lay a hand on Xi Lu Si and Ai Ke Lu, hmph, children's Memories are excellent, aren't they? Especially Twins with excellent Priest Talent. We won't have trouble finding them.
"Priest Uncle, will you come to see us again in the future?"
When I was leaving, the lively Ai Ke Lu held onto my arm and wouldn't let go. Her pitiful Appearance, like a Little Dog, was truly endearing.
"Of course. How could Uncle bear to leave you two little cuties? I'll come to see you whenever I have Time," I said with a smile, gently pinching Ai Ke Lu's face.
"But when exactly?" Ai Ke Lu pouted somewhat persistently.
"Hmm, how about in a few days?"
"Woo~~"
Ai Ke Lu's and Xi Lu Si's big Eyes simultaneously became teary.
"Okay, then I'll definitely come tomorrow if I have Time."
"..."
Their big, watery Eyes were already starting to reflect a layer of rippling water Light.
"I'll definitely come tomorrow, no matter what happens!" Seeing the Crowd watching not far away, I immediately swore to the heavens.
"..."
Hey, hey, you guys don't mean you want me to stay and accompany you tonight, do you? I wiped away a Cold Sweat. After much persuasion, only when I promised to come over first thing tomorrow morning did the two clingy little girls reluctantly nod their Heads. The Gaze that watched my Back View leave, as if filled with resentment, caused the Sin in my Inner Heart to rise in a straight line.
After finally leaving the Camp, I let out a long sigh of relief. Fierce Lolis, that saying is indeed true. Twins Lolis are even more incredibly fierce.
"Lady Akara, how is their Aptitude/Talent exactly?" After catching my breath, I started worrying about them again.
"While their Aptitude/Talent isn't the absolute best, it's certainly excellent. Most importantly, they are Twins..." Akara smiled with satisfaction and explained to me.
"Everyone's Energy Frequency is different. Therefore, when Cleric Skills are stacked, each can only perform at 60%-80% of its original power. But Twins can perform at 90% or even 100%."
Sweat. Listening to Akara's tone, it was as if she wished all thousand-plus people in the entire Training Camp were born from the same womb.
Afterwards, I chatted with Akara for a few sentences. Seeing that the Sun had already set, I said my goodbyes and slowly turned to go Home.
Huh, did I forget something? Thinking of this, my Footsteps paused.
"Priest Uncle, you couldn't have forgotten, right? I'm Ai Ke Lu."

Am I... am I a Sinner? Yes, I, who can't even remember the Names of the Twins Lolis, have already lost the Qualification to continue being a normal Man. God, please punish me and turn me into a Cross-dresser.
Just as I was praying for God's forgiveness, the Students nearby who hadn't had Time to disperse noticed the abnormality here. They couldn't help but stop their Footsteps and gathered around in twos and threes to watch. It seems the Figures of the Gossip party are indeed everywhere.
