c8 (2/2)

It was as if I was given the glimpse at the future face of an adult Sophina.

However, the sharp ears that were the main trait of elves were no where to be seen.

The woman turned her eyes towards me, and then towards the bear shortly after.

As the woman set her sights onto the corpse of the bear, she stares in wonder a little, her expressions on her face giving away her thoughts.

「Uhm… Could you be the mother of Sofina?」

(TL Note: WTF) (Nexias Edit: Don’t know if dense, or stupid. Maybe both? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

I asked while cringing.

As quick as she became stupefied, Sophina’s Mother had her pokerface on again.

「Yes, that’s right. Thank you very much for saving my daughter from danger and curing my illness.」

Sofina’s Mother bowed elegantly.

I was fascinated with this somewhat unexpected performance of elegance.

「Aaa, please don’t mind it. If it were anyone else, I’m sure that they’d do the same thing. How’s the condition of your body?」

「Compared to before I became sick, I’ve never felt my body so… perfect」

Seeing the results before my eyes, I couldn’t help but leave a sigh of relief. Even though her breathing became regular after I ‘cured’ her, I couldn’t help but be anxious.

「Is that so? However good you might feel right now, your body is still in a state of repair. It’s not good to be so rash, and you know what they say, better safe than sorry. Shouldn’t Sophina also be worried?」

I turned my gaze to Sofina.

Sophina shakes her head selfishly, agreeing to my words.

「It’s alright. As I was saying, the body I have now feels perfect, with no signs of pain or sickness. Apart from that, please let me somehow return the grat.i.tude, as Sophina and I would never be satisfied at the current rate things are progressing!」

(NexEdit: FLAGS RAISED!)

「There is no need for such thing, Sophi…」 but was cut off short, as her head was shaking vertically with such a speed, to the extent of making a buzzing sounds.

I endured the impulse to laugh and proposed an idea.

「Then, will you make an extraordinary delicious dish with this bear? Of course, you may invite everyone to come and eat as well.」

Then, Sophina’s Mother.

「Is okay with something so selfless? Even if it was with my current body it would still be fine!」 and suggested. (NexEdit: Elves were prost.i.tutes now? o_o)

I couldn’t deny that Sophina’s mother was in fact, a natural beauty. Moreover, her type of personality as a woman should definitely be applauded. As a woman, she is simply outstanding.

Sophina’s face exploded in red.

「No, that’s not good, Mother, it’s absolutely , absolutely not good!」

And the request was completely denied.

Of course, it’s obviously natural. Well, even though I have no intentions to take her body, Sophina’s Mother is no doubt still a beautiful woman.

And I’m the type of guy that allows my pride to think about such thoughts without restraint. However, that is nothing but my own personal opinion. Even then, there will always be another man that is better than me. I can a.s.sert it.

When I think calmly, I became a bit dejected.

「What is it? Sophie?」

The mother says so.

「N-nothing, It’s nothing !!」

Without another word, Sophina abruptly left the house in a rush.

I face Sophina’s Mother.

「Though it really is an attractive suggestion, I’m pretty sure that I’m not that desperate and depraved. On another note, it’s better to be more careful with yourself from now on, as Sophina tried to save you to the extent of risking her own life to better yours.」

(TLNote: Actually, IDK why author decided to put question mark, where the sentence is actually persuasive.) (NexEdit: Because in their language, mumble-jumble makes perfect sense!)

I just wanted to let you know the troubles that your daughter has gone to, and why she became so irritated at your suggestion. You needed to know the entire situation, so please forgive me.

Sophina’s Mother was shocked to hear the entire story, as it was her turn to drop her jaw.

「Eee… I was careless. I’m sorry」

And honestly apologized.

「As expected from Sofina’s Mother. Well then, I’ll leave it to you to decide on what to cook. Make it good okay?」

I smiled through the robe.

「Understood, I’ll definitely make an extraordinary and delicious dish worthy of your efforts. It’s okay to invite everyone, right?」

「Aaa, Of course. Because food tastes better when you share it with more people」

I again expressed a smiled through the robe.

After that, I figured out the true reason that Sophina acted back then. It must be because she fell in love… I think I also…

I stopped there, and stuffed those thoughts to the back of my head. The devils work, I convinced myself.

If it was true, then I wouldn’t deny it, as reality is harsh sometimes to those that don’t accept it.

I went to the river to wash my body.

It must be because it’s morning, that I didn’t get lost this time.
