Love Live Online: A Bard Grudge
Warmth

Once in the morning, when everyone was sound asleep, Renne prepared some of the supplies she needed. Some he put into the inventory and some others he put in a small bag.

Yesterday, he had also prepared some necessities such as foodstuffs that might be useful when being on a trip that is not sure of its purpose. And now, he's ready to wander.

Renne slightly glanced at Zerra who was currently in a deep slumber. The girl wanted to try to wake him up and take him away, but eventually decided to wait. However, Renne cannot abandon Zerra who has become her slave.

The sun was already rising, tired of waiting, Renne finally fell asleep in the chair with her head fixed on the table. Zerra finally woke up and immediately found out if her employer was going to travel soon.

Zerra then became worried, his mind would shake fear of being left behind by Renne because of his attitude all along. He then tried to wake and shake Renne's body with his weak hand.

There was not a single sentence that came out to wake him up, only a small body shake caused by the impulse. After a long time of trying and trying hard, a result he finally got.

“What's up, Zerra? Are you hungry?” lirih Renne with a semi-conscious state.

Renne narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the worried look on the little boy beside her.

“What's up?” Renne now gained all of her consciousness and raised her head from the table.

“A-what, what,” Zerra stammered, afraid of provoking the wrath of the master.

Renne ignored the words and allowed Zerra to finish what she wanted to say. Try to understand more about how the child is feeling right now.

“A-what, do you want to leave me?”

Renne clenched her lips, giving no response except for a chic smile accompanied by a spoiled elusan over Zerra's hair.

“Ma-pardon me..” Zerra's slightly glazed eyes are clearly visible behind the hair that covers her face.

Renne hugs Zerra and lets her sleep in affection. At least, that was all he could do to appease Zerra who looked so sad, afraid to feel the loss again.

Zerra blushed, it had been a long time since she felt such warmth at this moment. He could no longer hold back his tears and now wet his face.

Now, Zerra decided to line up Renne. Although, his life is not long anymore, he will try to satisfy his master.

Renne releases a hug, “Do you want to come with me?”

“Yes,” reply Zerra while curling her lips to form a small smile.

****

Right now, they were already outside of the Vemore Kingdom and started walking a little leisurely as there was indeed nothing to pursue. Their time is still many, although one day Renne must be faced with a reality that requires her to take revenge against people who have betrayed her.

Zerra looked at the girl next to him with a slight look, “Te-about question a few days ago..”.

“You do not need to answer if you do not want to say it.” chirped Renne, he himself was aware of his mistake before because it was too pushy.

“A-aku—,”

Suddenly they are surprised by the existence of a piggy-headed man with a rusty nose ring. Carrying an axe made of metal with a wooden handle.

「Orc

Level: 5

Renne tried to attack, but Zerra suddenly ran towards the Orc with a few quick footsteps.

The girl was confused, but on the one hand she wanted to allow Zerra to target and show her abilities and watch from behind the scenes. If something bad happens, then he will quickly act.

The orc swung its ax vertically, intending to split the little boy in two. Zerra who realized that then jumped back and ran back.

He ran to the side and gave a painful scratch resulting from the sword. The orc groaned and pulled back the axe and turned around.

However, Zerra had first supported and inflicted fatal damage on the monster's back. The monster screamed in pain.

“Damn you, man!” swear that Orc.

Zerra adjusted the monster with a cold and condescending look. It made Renne smile to herself because of it.

What's more, at this time Zerra's long hair has been trimmed before. So, the boy looked even more handsome than before. Plus with those fiery red eyes.

Zerra now managed to injure one of the monster's legs. It made him feel pain until he fell to the ground. As he was about to give his final attack, Zerra was eloquent and fell to the ground. And the stage of the show ended.

Renne immediately brought out one of the skills named Melody Arrow that she had learned from Lany. A skill that strikes with arrows generated from the song he plays.

Just as the Orcs were about to decapitate the unconscious Zerra, Renne managed to hit the monster's head and instantly fell down for all eternity.

「Successfully beat the Orcs.

Prize: - 3 bronze coins

experience points increased by 12.

- Silver Axe.」

****

They are now on the edge of the river not far from the scene. Now, Renne wailed the boy's head on his thigh as he stood beside the bonfire.

The water rattled, flowing whatever was above it and reflecting the moonlight of night. The wind that blows tries to extinguish the fire but instead makes the fire more burning.

Renne took a deep breath, it was unthinkable for her to meet someone like Zerra at times like this. In time, he demands himself to avenge and kill all those who have betrayed him using the power given by Zaulla, the Goddess of Death.

The girl also knows nothing about Zerra's disease, but she now sets out to find a medicinal plant that once was rumored to cure anything. And incidentally, the destination has the same direction.

Zerra finally woke up, he then raised his head and tried to understand the situation. Having just fainted, he became dazed himself and misbehaved.

“You're up?” Renne asked, but it was not a question that should get an answer.

“You came forward bravely, I think it was already very cool.” added Renne with a little sweet smile that added blood sugar levels.

“Ya,” reply Zerra while grumbling, hiding the fact that she blushed in embarrassment.

Renne had thought, if Zerra's personality will change after some events that have just happened. But it seems like it is impossible. Even so, the girl did not really want to care about him, the attitude that Zerra was currently showing was already a little better than before.
