"Link?"

Ivy looked at Motan with some curiosity, his lips slightly curled up, and called him softly, seeming a bit nervous.

By the way, since the first day the two went to [Black Mary], Ivy has privately started to call Motan ’Link’ instead of ’Frank.’ This detail implies her intention to distinguish herself from Frank Hughes’s lover, Diana.

Although Motan knew that Ivy had an ulterior motive, for most men, her perfectly pitched little emotions were indeed somewhat addictive, hard to resist.

However, Motan’s resistance to this kind of maneuver almost exceeded the thickness of his own skin under this persona, so he didn’t feel any situational emotions at all. He merely accepted it calmly and reminded Ivy several times not to call him that in front of others.

"It’s nothing, I was just thinking about business matters."

Motan closed his friend list casually and smiled apologetically at Ivy: "Sorry, I was lost in thought."

Ivy shook her head, stood on tiptoe to gently massage Motan’s temples, and said with a cheerful smile, "No need to apologize, after all, the other party is Lady Feiyali, right? You’ve surely been working hard lately, Link. Sigh, if only I could help..."

"Ivy, you helping me keep an eye on Diana and Double Leaf is already a big help."

Motan gave a gentle smile to the quirky young lady in front of him and blinked: "After all, it’s not convenient to let them know about this."

Ivy laughed too and said cheerfully, "Is it because Double Leaf might just kill you directly if she knew? And Lady Diana would be quite worried about you, right?"

"Yeah, although I’ve always dreamed of being a mediocre person."

Motan shrugged, helplessly saying, "But when I actually meet someone that can make me not work so hard behind the scenes, I instead want to be a bit more successful."

While gently massaging Motan’s head, Ivy seriously said, "That’s not right, in my eyes, whether it’s Frank Hughes or Link Zelda, they’re both amazing, and there’s no sense of mediocrity at all."

"Perhaps, but for someone as mediocre as me, understanding oneself is often a difficult task."

Motan made a funny face, spread his hands, and said, "So even if you’re right, Ivy, whether Frank Hughes or Link Zelda, they are amazing people, but as long as I don’t feel accomplished myself, I guess I will continue to struggle like this~"

A hint of surprise flashed through Ivy’s lively left eye, and she curiously asked, "Even after doing such a big deal with Lady Feiyali, it doesn’t count as amazing?"

Motan chuckled, shaking his head lightly and carefree: "It doesn’t."

"Hmm, that really is..."

Ivy bounced around to stand in front of Motan, studying him seriously from top to bottom with her hands behind her back. After a long while, she pouted and asked, "Are all Otherworlders like this?"

Motan immediately shook his head, smiling sheepishly: "Not at all, I suppose I’m an exception."

"Speaking of which, Link!"

Feeling slightly confused, Ivy, having been unable to hold onto his arm, then grabbed Motan’s sleeve instead and asked, "Although I don’t know much about Otherworlders, logically speaking, isn’t it very difficult for you to actually be with someone like Master Diana? Why so persistent?"

Motan didn’t directly answer, but instead smiled: "By the same logic, why are you so persistent about me, Ivy?"

"Because I like you?"

"Like, huh... Then I suppose it’s love for me."

"Ah, I guess I’m still overpowered."

"In any case, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Motan changed the subject casually, speaking fairly seriously to Ivy: "If there’s an opportunity, please let me repay you."

Ivy covered her mouth, letting out a series of silver bell-like clear and pleasant laughs, waving her hand: "Link, you really are serious. Alright, let’s not talk about that. Master Diana and Double Leaf probably need another two hours before they can get away. Why not go to my place first? You’re so tired, you can lie down for a moment and let me massage you?"

"Thanks for the kind offer, but I still have some things to take care of, so I’ll pass for now."

Motan shook his head, politely declining: "So, Miss Ivy, please head back first."

"I won’t eat you! Hmm, although I am wearing somewhat daring underwear today..."

Ivy muttered under her breath and then quickly spoke seriously: "But I definitely won’t do anything to you, Link. Even if Master Diana suddenly descends from the sky, it would be fine. I’ve prepared lots of excuses, we just need to rehearse a bit!"

Motan sighed: "I really have something to do..."

"Ah! That means you’d agree if you didn’t, right?"

"If I didn’t, I’d still rather go back to prepare a late-night snack for Diana."

"Saying that kind of thing really hurts feelings, you know!"

Ivy pouted, but she obediently let go of Motan’s sleeve, looking aggrieved: "Then... go ahead and get busy, Link. My mom told me that a good woman shouldn’t let her beloved feel troubled."
