The Lone Hero's
Ch.6 Meet Tigreal
A week passed and Alucard was cured, although not completely, but he was able to move more freely.
Actually Alucard was able to move from 2 days ago, but because Silvana forced him to continue to rest, finally Alucard obeyed the girl's wishes.
Alucard hasn't seen Tigreal yet. Silvana said Tigreal was busy so had no time to visit him.
Alucard is lying on his bed. He raised his right hand, looking at his arm that was still not changing color.
“Is my hand going to continue like this?” Alucard muttered, “but if this is not a bad thing then I will accept it.”
Over the past few days, Alucard had often tried to control the Mana in his body, but it was quite difficult to do. What's more manipulating mana into an element, it's much harder still.
That is very reasonable because Alucard recently knew the name Mana. From childhood he was only good at farming, not getting any education about magic and such as noble families.
Alucard could have asked Silvana for help, but somehow she never asked the girl. Maybe because he felt bad or something. I don't know, Alucard doesn't understand either.
“Alucard, I have a gift for you.”
The room door suddenly opened and Silvana just walked in with a cheerful smile as usual.
Alucard only smiled wryly because Silvana always went in without knocking on the door first.
Alucard here understands Alice is the owner of the place she currently lives, the girl is the host so she is free to do anything in her house.
Just isn't getting into a guest's room disrespectful?
But can Alucard count here as a guest? He was just a young man who was saved by the Monian Empire party.
Alucard wakes up and sits on the edge of the bed, “this time what else?”
“Before I had asked the imperial blacksmith to make an arm armor,” Silvana opened the wooden box he brought, “complete right arm armor, <TAG1>, this can make the energy in your right arm not always leak and can make it easier to use Mana.”
For the first time Alucard felt bad for Silvana. This girl he had only known for a week really cared about him.
All she did was eat and sleep, and even when she ate, Silvana would bribe her, and now she gave her a gift.
Is there anything of him worth appreciating? Did he ever do anything until Silvana did all this for him?
“Thank you,” is just that sentence that can come out of Alucard's mouth.
“This is the first time you thank, usually you will always say soberly.”
“I'm not someone who doesn't know thank you. I don't know why you're so good to me, but I'll definitely pay for it someday.”
“Then I look forward to it,” Silvana smiled sweetly.
Alucard took the arm armor and put it on.
“Very fit and convenient to wear.” Alucard saw his right arm, which had been clad in armor, cover his hand until his elbow, until his blue arm was no longer visible.
“The armor will also adjust to the size of your arm, so you don't have to worry that the armor will not fit in the future.”
“It turns out this armor still has a lot of advantages,” Alucard nodded, “so now am I allowed out, princess?”
“I told you not to call me with such a formal call!” Silvana looks pouted.
Alucard was the only friend he could talk to like a real friend. Not like people who claim to be friends but just want to lick it, always be formal, put on a fake friendly smile and others.
That's why Silvana didn't want Alucard to call her formally.
“Alright, but before that I want us to train match, how?”
“Practice match, you mean?”
“I mean, we're going to battle practice.”
“E.. are you sure you can fight? I'm afraid I'll hurt you.”
Looking at Silvana's appearance which was like a pure, graceful girl with flawless skin in the slightest, it was hard to imagine the girl being able to fight.
“Don't underestimate me, here and there I've been trained enough in fighting,” Silvana puffed out her chest that is still in the growth stage, “didn't you say you want to kill the demons? With match practice you can also gain experience and improve your fighting skills.”
“Alright, but where will we train to match?”
“Follow me!” Silvana grabbed Alucard's hand and pulled it.
Alucard is only resigned to being pulled by Silvana, following the wishes of the girl.
Just as Silvana stepped out of the room, she stopped when she saw the huge figure in front of her.
“Uncle Tigreal,” Silvana honestly quite surprised to find Tigreal here.
It was a coincidence to cross paths when he had just come out.
Tigreal raised his eyebrows, his forehead slightly furrowing when he saw Silvana holding Alucard's hand.
What happened while he was gone? Is 1 week enough for them to get this close to hand-holding?
Tigreal just wanted to see the condition of the young man he saved last week, unexpectedly going to see this scene.
Realizing the direction of Tigreal's gaze, Silvana immediately let go of Alucard's hand and then tried to distract him.
“When uncle Uncle Tigreal is back?”
“So he's Commander Tigreal? He looks so strong,” Alucard muttered inwardly.
“So you're Commander Tigreal. I'm Alucard, thank you for saving me earlier,” Alucard bowed respectfully.
“No problem, it's my duty as Commander to save the inhabitants of Monian Empire,” Tigreal smile kindly, “by the way, where are you guys going?”
“I invite Alucard to train tackle.”
“Begukah. Alucard, are you sure you're cured so you can train a match?”
“I've been feeling pretty good, doing match practice is not a problem at all. After all, I've been bored enough just lying in my room.”
Even in the face of Tigreal, Alucard acted as if talking to an ordinary person.
Tigreal did not mind that, he was not a person who would be emotional just because of the small thing.
“Good if you feel better, I don't have to worry anymore. Then I will leave, there are still some things I have to take care of,” Tigreal bowed respectfully to Silvana before walking away.
“Ayo Alucard, we go to the practice page!” Silvana led Alucard to the training page where they would train for the match.
This time Silvana did not withdraw Alucard's hand. He did not want others to see his closeness with the young man because it could have spread unnecessary gossip that would even make him hassles later.
