...CHAPTER 10 - AWKWARD MOMENTS AND LEARNING MAGIC...
...◇◇◇...
Its bad..
Our situation became a little awkward.
I was silent and confused to respond.
"..."
"..."
His face reddened and seemed to be waiting for my answer, I was still stunned looking at him.
""...""
We just looked at each other in silence, until I finally dared to talk.
"Sorry, Rosaline ... Actually, I'm 12 years old," I blushed a little.
"....Eh? Really true??" He was surprised by the very red face.
Rosaline looked puzzled and her face was flushed even more than before. I can imagine the smoke coming out of his head so nervous.
It's not that I refuse, it's just that there is a rule that at the age of 15 and under it is forbidden to marry. So the 16-year-old girl in front of me is fucked up.
"Ren-sama is younger than me?" His words do not believe.
"Yes" I replied sincerely.
"Thank you??" He said again, trying to deny it.
"True, I'm not lying" I said trying to resuscitate him.
As Rosaline grew more agitated, she became confused to respond to me.
"..." - ".He did not say a word and turned to look at me.
"Eh?" I was a little surprised, but Rosaline looked staggering.
Rosaline limp and fell, which forced me to catch her quickly.
"Rousaline?!" Shouted surprised.
Ketika aku menangkapnya, dia menatapku seolah-olah dia telah melihat cahaya. Lalu dia menyentuh pipiku.
"Rosaline?" I'm confused.
"Ahh.. Haha.. " He's laughing.
She's getting weird?!
"Why you?" I was a little surprised.
"Sorry, Ren-sama .. I'm just a little sick ... Haha.." He said with a smile.
But can you stop laughing?
"It's not an ordinary pain?!" That's what I wanted to say, but I held him back.
"Where?" Said asking.
There might be a wound somewhere.
"No, it's okay.." He smiled and tried not to worry me.
"I'll help you" I said seriously.
He shook his head and immediately hugged me.
"..." - ".I couldn't react well, being suddenly hugged like that.
Uh.. It's kind of embarrassing. Considering we actually stopped at a quiet place whose way out had to be by jumping over the roof of the house.
Looks like we were in someone else's yard and this place is a bit dark.
"I'll take you back to the others." My words are still in my arms.
"Yes.." Rosaline said shyly.
Our situation right now really made me want to quickly leave and we both blushed the embarrassment out of there.
So we headed straight to the village chief's place. His reason? Clearly, in the place of the village head was the Chief of the Duke Princess's bodyguard. He waited with the village chief because Rosaline had asked him to stay there.
Arriving there..
"Daughter! Where have you been?" The Chief Guards hurriedly approached us.
"Hehe.." Rosaline said after coming down from me.
"Daughter??" The head of the bodyguard was astonished by Rosaline's attitude.
Looks like I need to get out of here.. Immediately..
"You! Don't go!" He held my shoulder.
"Ugh. yes.." I said with resignation.
I fucked up here..
So I can't leave because the man asked me here (forcibly.)
.........
Not a day, Rosaline has been asked to return to her city.
"I'll be back here again, Ren-sama! I'll wait another 4 years!" Say it with a sobbing face.
I smile nodding. Seriously huh?!
Rosaline rode on the luxurious carriage that was starting to leave, the Chief of the bodyguards followed beside the carriage on horseback.
Rosaline waved sadly outside the window of the train and she looked like she didn't want to leave very much.
After they were with the escorting knights and their servants gone.
I stared leisurely at my hand, there was a bag of gold coins inside.
Earlier I had already informed the two bodyguards and the people related to them to the Chief of the bodyguards. Unbeknownst to Rosaline. They have been made unable to resist and detained. Both their hands and feet are already damaged in the sense of Sensor.
And because I helped the Chief of Guard uncover the two spies and now he gave me a bag of dozens of gold coins. Seriously deh..
So Rosaline's gone and my job is done.
Never mind.. I wish I didn't see him again..
.........
[ Rare Quest #1 "Take a tour around Princess Duke around Village♡" Done. ]
[Experience Level Rewards and Rosaline Affections go up. ]
[ Player level up 16 ]
"I'm happy and shaken to see it. haa.." My distressed speech looked at the contents of the prize.
I'm so happy to be level 16 and to see that Rosaline's affection goes up leaves me confused as to how it will be going.
It's better that I run my day as usual.
"Hm?" I just remembered..
True as well, I was indeed unable to Quest to help the Head Guards but automatically another Quest was completed.
[Quest #3 "You are a brave and wise man" ]
[Quest Info #3: The player must have courage in acting and wisdom in doing so, especially in punishing criminals and upholding justice. ]
[Gift: Degree gives status effect ]
Now all my titles have a status effect. Just incredible!
Then the first.. Ugh.
Pingy! Pong!
"..?"
[Degree "Precious Princess Duke" in get ]
"Huh??" I was so shocked that I made such a loud noise.
'Ugh, fuck..'
I ran home to my house right then and there.
Once at home, I was very exhausted and depressed heading to the second floor of my room.
What the hell is going on?! Why at a time like this??
[Degree Info: Obtained when Princess Duke's Affection rises more than Player expected. ]
I didn't expect anything?! Seriously!
Then.. effect??
[Degree Effect: You will become extremely charming and dazzlingly handsome in the eyes of Rosaline and the other Dukes. ]
Wait.. What does that mean?? Rosaline I don't think it's a problem, but the other Dukes?!
Looks like I should stay away from things related to the Duke's daughter from now on..
I feel in danger..
.........
In my Bedroom.
I was lying on my bed and reading a book from Rosaline.
A book that says "Culture reads and enhances your Literacy." I guess what is the contents of this book?
Satisfied with reading, I put down the book and wanted to sleep. But I feel like there's something I've forgotten, what is it?
'Hm.. I think I have something forgetfulness?' I think there is less.
'What yes..?'
I stared out the window, the sun had long sunk.
"...Right too, I didn't see Lia a day.."
Ah..
I forgot, I promised to teach Lia later in the afternoon about her magic and techniques..
He should have been there..
"Ugh.." I gotta go.
Inevitably, I immediately went out of the house to the promised location.
Empty land at the end of the village.
"Ha ..ha ... Sorry, I'm late ... Lia," I said exhausted.
There, there was Lia who looked sullen and looked at me unhappily.
"..Hmph," Thoughtfully.
Lia was sitting on a large tree branch and crossed her arms.
He looks really upset.
It's night now, I can't see her face clearly at the moment. But I'm sure he must be mad at me.
"Firefly" I said as I flicked my finger.
The fire spread around us and made the light shine around as if there were many lights here. Like fireflies spreading everywhere, I could see Lia's enchanted face.
He immediately descended from the tree with incredible speed. I stared at him who was near me.
Lia was amazed to see him, he looked very happy and looked excited.
Phew.. I hope this makes him forget..
"So, what about Fire magic first, Lia?" My words are trying to get into the core of this meeting.
"Yes, of course!" Lia said excitedly.
He looks happy. I hope this continues.
"Lia, you already understand how Mana works in the body, so all Lia needs to do is channel mana into your hands to cast magic like before" I said firmly.
"Teacher Ren, is it necessary to cast magic out of hands?" Ask Lia curious.
"Of course, you don't have to cast magic out of hand. But you need to be able to basically first, before doing it," I said with a voice like a teacher to students.
"Good!" Lia answered like a student.
"Good," I said with a faint smile.
The technique I taught him now was necessary to understand the basis of magic and make him capable of performing magic easily without any wrong attempts.
So I gave him easy instructions on doing magic. First one..
Bwoosh's!
"I-I made it!" Her words looking at me, she was so happy when she managed to do it.
"Good work," I praised him.
I applauded his success in the 10th time trial.
"It's your blessing, Master Ren! I can now perform fire magic at least without having to do it manually! Yeah!" She was very happy and hugged me right away.
"...Sure," I said trying to get away from him.
'Means Lia tried to use magic for her to use, Maybe for cooking? I guess.' I thought I was still hugging him.
"So do I have to do other magic too!" He was excited and backed away from me.
"No, for today it's just this. Also you can't necessarily get used to it in one try. It needs to be repeated over and over again until you can be called a magician. Surely you need good mastery and control to reduce the failures and damage you accidentally make when doing magic later," I told him.
"Uh-uh. yeah.." Say it with a sigh.
His face pouted as I finished telling him. It seems he still doesn't understand..
"The bottom line is, Lia just needs to learn fire magic again better. Then, if you want your fire magic to be better, you can ask me to accompany you to practice again," I said with a friendly smile.
"Hm.. What should?" He looked at me with a 'Serious?' look?'
"I'm your teacher, at least that's what I can do" I said, declaring myself to be his teacher.
"Good, Teacher.." He said a little annoyed.
His face looked irritated as he said it, but I ignored him.
I look around, the longer it's not good. So I looked at him.
"Uh? What's?" He looks confused.
"Now because it's so late.. Lia, I'll take you home" I smiled and tried to look cool.
"Ti-No need! I can do it myself!" His words evaded me. Oi it hurts.
"really?" My words sound sluggish.
"God!!" His words are getting more evasive.
'Ught.. What's wrong with her?'
He pouted but his face flushed red as he turned around and tried to leave.
"Be careful on the road" I gave a swing of the hand with a smile.
"Uh, sure.I can magic so there's no problem.." Speak with confidence.
"Haha, okay.." I smiled thinly.
I watched him until he left, then I looked at the screen that had appeared in front of me.
"Indeed, I was curious. But I think I need to get it done right now" I said seriously.
[Secret Quest #1 "You found a mysterious Egg that Guarded the Monsters in the Bloody Forest." It'll be over in 20 minutes. ]
Is there something in the woods?
