Strongest Alchemist System
Chapter 28: The happiness of a girl
“I'm sorry for using such a rude manner, Riku-sama. But, I have to do this for the sake of someone's request,” said Tia who was still in her gentle smile.
Hearing that, I quickly immediately tried to take out a potion that could eliminate any bad status.
But—
“I won't let you, Riku-sama. Please, sleep in peace,” said Tia, and at that very moment a strange root emerged from the grip of my chair and like a moving living being, it bound me.
“Keh!”
Shit, I can't move.
Realizing that everything was free to fight, I slowly began to close my eyes while continuing to look at Tia who was in front of me.
The effects of the drink can no longer be contained.
“Ke.. napa?” I asked with a heavy voice, while looking at Tia sharply.
“Please don't assume badly, Riku-sama. I'm doing this for you,” replied Tia, but I can't hear it anymore, because the effect of the tea has put me to sleep.
Looking at me who was already asleep, Tia immediately tried to lift my body.
At that time also—
“I'll help you.”
“Alicia-sama?”
Alicia who had not fallen asleep at all despite drinking the same tea, immediately stood up and offered help to help Tia.
“As expected of a goddess, even an anesthetic as powerful as this still can't put you to sleep, I'm amazed.” Tia said in awe.
“Well, after all I am a goddess, any ill effects will not affect me,” Alicia replied to Tia's confusion.
Hearing that, Tia grew even more amazed at Alicia. Then, while bowing his face full of respect, he said politely.
However, if you are talking about age. Most likely Alicia was much older than that Elf village chief who had lived for hundreds of years or maybe thousands of years.
“Thank you for your offer, Alicia-sama. But, did you not ask about what I want to do, Alicia-sama?”
“No,” replied Alicia spontaneously. “I understand how you feel. This kid is really stubborn, if it's not like this, he'll never want to rest.”
“Yeah, I really can't beat you.”
After saying that, the two of them began to take me to bed, and lay my body gently on the bed.
There, Tia stroked my hair and gave a small smile. “You're a really careless kid. Please don't make us worry too much about you, Mr. Hero,”.
Then, Tia started walking away from the room.
“Alright, can I leave the rest to you, Alicia-sama?”
“Yeah, leave it to me. I will take care of her,” Alicia replied.
Tia lowered her head for a moment and after that left the place.
Now there's only me and Alicia left to take care of me in that place.
When he saw my sleeping face, he put his finger on my cheek.
“Basic, you shouldn't have made a goddess this worried. I will definitely make you pay for everything after you wake up,”.
Then, he started to lay his head down, and fell asleep next to me while clasping my hand tightly.
It feels so warm.
I think I can sleep well this time.
...****************...
On the other hand, while I was sleeping, Elvy was currently with Mila in her room, which was where there were only the two of them.
“Yeah, you've become even more cute since your appearance changed, please marry Onee-chan and stay with Onee-chan forever!”
“Ara ara, you don't need to be that cold, El-chan. Please allow Onee-chan to do this in a moment! When Onee-chan saw you being cut off, Onee-chan was really so scared you know? And also, call ‘Onee-chan’, okay?”
“Ugh, Mila-san, it's cheating. If it's like that, I can't turn it down.” Elvy grumbled, she had a weak nature when there was someone asking for help to her.
Mila uses that trait to be able to indulge with Elvy, even though Elvy looks reluctant, she still will not be able to refuse Mila's request.
“Yeah, you're really so cute! Please let Onee-chan marry you!” cetus Mila continued to hug Elvy.
Hearing that Elvy just laughed flatly and let it go.
Then, a few minutes had passed since Mila kept playing around with Elvy. He ended up taking a little distance from Elvy and snorted in satisfaction.
“Tweet me, Onee-chan is satisfied! Let's get into the important talk,” the woman said with a really fresh smile.
“Hah, hah, hah... Thank goodness...” While Elvy is currently adjusting his breath back which is panting, because it continues to be played by Mila. Her tired face looked greatly relieved when Mila finally stopped hugging her.
After that, he also took some distance from Mila, where they were currently sitting next to each other on her mattress, and they were finally able to speak normally.
“So, exactly what does Mila-san want to talk about?” asked Elvy who was still not told the purpose and purpose of Mila calling him here.
He was only told that it was something important, so he was forced to come here even though he knew that later he would also be played with.
“Yeah, it's true. It's a very important talk, and it also has to do with El-chan,” Mila replied with a happy face.
“I?” exclaimed the confused Elvy and tilted his head.
At that moment, Mila turned her gaze and looked straight at Elvy with a serious face that she very rarely did.
It's the first time Elvy has seen Mila this serious.
Seeing him like that made him feel nervous because suddenly the atmosphere turned very tense.
That reflex made him hold his breath.
“Listen, Elvy. I was actually also still hesitant about this, but.” Before Mila continued her words, she closed her eyes for a moment, and continued saying with a serious face. ”... There is a possibility your brother— Elvin is still alive.”
“... Huh?”
Hearing that, Elvy's expression instantly froze, his eyes wide open in disbelief.
“Kakak...ku, still alive?” he said he still could not receive the information in his brain, and made him still wonder if it was true or not.
Mila nodded. “Elvy, do you still remember the arrow stuck in the lizard's eye before?” ask Mila.
“Of course, it was really very accurate, and thanks to that too I was able to win,” replied Elvy who recalled back when she fought the dragon Roden.
Just then, when Roden intended to spit out his fire breath, the arrow made his concentration disappear, and his fire breath came to a halt. Thanks to that, Elvy survived and won the fight.
But, he thought—
“I think it was a favor from Riku-san who told the Oji-sama Regime to fire his arrows towards the dragon's eyes.”
However, Mila shook her head and denied the opinion.
“Indeed, with the Regime's [True Bow] magic weapon, he could shoot without first considering which way he would shoot in order to reach the target, because his magic weapon can turn to the place he wants to shoot. But, even with his magic weapon, he was still unable to reach the dragon.”.
“Eh, so who shot him?” ask Mila who is getting confused.
Then, Mila answered while shrugging her shoulders.
“Who else if not that person who earned the nickname as the strongest archer in this village, The Eyes of the Hunter God, Elgia Elvin Cromwel, your own elder brother.”
“….”
Hearing that, Elvy could only fall silent, though,
But, taking a desperate breath when he realized that he had been holding his breath all this time, Elvy's lips spoke with a sense of relief and pleasure that splattered.
“So... So, brother is still alive,” said the slightly trembling.
After that, she started crying sobbing while hugging Mila.
