Chapter 33 - Making new friends part 1 (2/2)
”Can we? I might be from the fox tribe but, can we become friend...?” [Elise]
”Are you fine, with me becoming your friend?” [Liyana]
”Why, why do say so?” [Elise]
”I, I mean, the other noble didn't even bother to approach me, saying I'm a...” [Liyana]
”?” [Elise]
Looks like thing are going down the hill, both sides are hesitating, Elise because of her status and Liyana because of some unknown reason, but I can see that they're genuinely interested to become friends. Hmm... what should I do
”I know, we are going to train our magic today inside the dungeon, why don't you come with us” [Ash]
”Huh? No, no, it's dangerous for me to do so” [Liyana]
”Huh, why not, you have a large mana pool, and your affinity toward Ice magic is high” [Ash]
”Huh? How, how do you know that?” [Liyana]
”Let just said that's my expertise” [Ash]
I can actually felt her mana clearly, even without scanning her abilities, she has good affinity toward ice magic, and since Ice and water magic are closely related, it comes to no surprise her water magic affinity are high as well, but not as high as Charlotte
”...” [Liyana]
”Still hesitate, then how about this!” [Ash]
I use my ice magic to make a sculpture of her size. Yup, I created a sculpture using Liyana herself as a model, it only took me a moment to do it, so the end product isn't that polished, but
”How, how did you do that! Plus, you can use non chanting magic as well!” [Liyana]
”Hoho, interested aren't you” [Ash]
”If only I can do that as well...” [Liyana]
She seems down, so her reason not to befriend Elise just now is because of this? No, maybe this is just one of the many reasons why she doesn't want to, plus, I have a feeling there are bigger reason than that.
”Brother Ash will train us today, so if you don't mind, you can join us as well!” [Elise]
”Yes, we will be happy to have you” [Rean]
The other also agree, good, but there are some people that disagree
”Lady Liyana, you shouldn't bother befriending them, so let us go home now” [Guard]
”...” [Liyana]
”Lady Liyana?” [Guards]
”Can I really join you?” [Liyana]
”Sure you can, I will be more than happy to teach my little sister's friend magic” [Ash]
”Really!?” [Liyana]
”Absolutely!” [Ash]
Success! Look at the shine at her eyes, brimming with happiness
”But Lady Liyana, its dangerous!” [Guard]
”Its fine, I'll protect her since the best her guards can do is just shouting around” [Ash]
”What did you say!” [Guard]
”Well, unless you are incompetent, there's no way you can't protect a single girl right? Or am I wrong here?” [Ash]
Payback to what they said just now, they are furious right now but I'm pretty sure they can't just dragged Liyana back, and if they suddenly lashed out, they're not that strong, so I can take them down in non-lethal way that wouldn't hurt Liyana feeling, like tripping their leg when they're charging at me for instance
”Please treat me well, umm... Mr Ash?” [Liyana]
”Just Ash is fine” [Ash]
”Let us get going then, Lady Liyana” [Elise]
”Umm...” [Liyana]
”?” [Elise]
”Just Liyana is fine” [Liyana]
”Really!?” [Elise]
She nodded.
”You guys, make sure to introduce yourself as well” [Ash]
”Yes” [Kids]
