I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 175: Another to the List
Logan was happy with how far they had traveled. By the end of the day, the terrain was beginning to be mountainous, meaning they were closer to where they should be.
He was currently informing Rubina about their location. She, on the other hand, was busy with her end. The new administrators had arrived, and she needed to inform them how things worked in the town.
"You seem tired, Rubina. Take a long bath, you need to rest. Now that help has come, they should be able to handle most of the paperwork." Logan saw how the girl looked haggard. Thanks to Marie’s new invention, the communication crystal now sent improved live-feed video, making it feel as if he was there, which made things easier.
"It’s fine. I will get them up to speed tomorrow. We should then start arranging everything for the separation from the kingdom. We need to work on new trade routes in case the kingdom decides to bar us from their own. I spoke to some merchants from our neighbors up north in the kingdom of Verdith. They are interested in the crystals we can provide and are willing to give a good sum," Rubina informed while twirling her hair.
"Sounds good. I hope we can keep up with the demand. Kryst can only do so much alone. I need to look for more of her kind. I can only guess that they are in the goblin dwelling, so I will have to go there sooner or later to bring more slimes. I hope I am strong enough to fight off that serpent-like beast by then," Logan thought, considering the fight with the crystal guardian that had hurt Kai last time. He also thought about bringing more companions for Krexa, who was left behind.
"It will be worth it. We will probably need to head there for diplomacy when you return, so get ready to speak to the king of Elris. You will need to look dependable, so work on that," Rubina sighed, wondering if Logan would be ready by then. He really needed to work on his etiquette since he would be meeting the king as an equal next time.
"Don’t worry, Rubina. I will try to get through the labyrinth as fast as possible to return stronger and finally do what we intend with the kingdom. I will also work with Chloe to help me with speaking and such," Logan said, waving to the girl who seemed tired but was smiling towards him.
"Just make sure to be careful. We have much to do when you return. I don’t mind if it takes a bit longer," Rubina sighed before turning the communication device off.
Logan sighed as he contemplated how much he had to do. The labyrinth was only the first step. After he got stronger, it would be his own beasts’ turn to enter it. He only hoped it was wide enough for Scorch or Silis so they could train later.
Logan then got up to get out of the tent. He needed to finally try speaking with Lisa, fearing she would not want to talk to him.
As soon as he tried getting out, he was pulled back into the tent. He wanted to yell, but his mouth was covered before he could speak.
"Relax, Logan. I just came to speak with you," he heard Alma’s voice.
"You’ve got to at least warn me. Use your mental link next time," Logan said, holding out his chest. His heart raced as the first thing he thought of was an assassin attack from the demons.
"Sorry, I just needed to speak to you before you talk to Lisa. Now sit, we need to be fast before she goes to sleep." Alma pushed him back to his bed before taking out a crystal like Kai’s.
"Now, I heard the story—that you kissed her. Congratulations, you’re a man now." Alma patted his back, laughing before speaking again.
"Well, half a man at least. You still need to, you know," Alma winked, hinting towards the bed.
"Now then, don’t get shy. We need to keep talking—we only have a few minutes. Lisa is probably just as happy or more than what you are feeling now, but she is also confused. She knows your feelings for the others and needs time for that. What I suggest is that you don’t push her for an answer. But, you do need to keep what you are doing going. Slowly work into her heart. Maybe sooner or later she will accept what you have. If not, well, you will have to choose," Alma sighed, wanting to hear Logan’s side of the story.
"Well, I did as you said. I guess we can’t really do much more. I will keep at this, but it will be hard to find time to be together with the coming fights. I really don’t want to hurt the others either. So until Lisa is ready to move on, I will wait," Logan said, getting up, knowing there wasn’t much he could add.
"Wait, one more thing. While you shouldn’t push her, it does not mean you can stay still. Another kiss wouldn’t hurt, just don’t surprise her like last time," Alma said as she got up. She got close to Logan and pulled him closer to plant a quick kiss on his cheek.

"See, you don’t savor it if it’s a surprise. Give her more hints, give her a warm gaze, set things up, and then kiss her. You have a lot to catch up on. Speak about the past, the future, and learn more before pushing her further," Alma said, then pushed him out of the tent.

Logan rubbed his cheek. He really didn’t know why Alma was pushing so hard, to the point she had done such actions.
"Don’t tell me another one needs to be added to the list," the boy scratched his head. He wasn’t even settled with one before another pushed forward. He still needed to speak with Ruri and Serana before talking with Rubina, who had helped him probably the most out of anyone in his life.
"What a mess did I get myself into…" Logan kept sighing as he headed towards Orus, where Lisa would no doubt be.
