Chapter 293 (1/2)
A truth or lie test. This is either fun or stressful, depending on the situation, and where you are, either on the receiving end of the question, or the one asking the question. I must admit, this actually piques my curiosity by a lot. If only I can use the dwarf racial magic, puppet magic, but alas, I think Karon is the only dwarf so far that can use it. He himself isn't proficient enough, so it isn't that surprising when other dwarves that he taught didn't achieve mastery yet... No, I forgot about his father, the serial killer dwarf. Correct statement will be, the serial killer dwarf is the master of puppet magic, while Karon is far behind on the second place, followed by other
”Sure, we are free today, and the clinic didn't see much patient” [Healer A]
”I'll pass and stay behind, I feel bad for Rafiah for doing this as well as feeling bad if some patients come only to find an empty clinic” [Healer B]
”Then I'll stay behind as well” [Healer C]
”I'll go. Rafiah is easily intimidated with large number of people” [Healer D]
”Great! Let us go and ”play” with Rafiah a bit” [Yefefiah]
And now, the three of us feels bad about it. I know how the healers are actually serious despite their laid back attitude. They can basically do a 180 degree turn over in, from laid back to being serious , especially when they're treating a patient. I'm pretty sure this can be translated into this sort of activity as well
”The orphanage should be empty by now. They're all in school” [Kara]
”Principal Alice gave you permission to go out?” [Elise]
”She does” [Kara]
”Then we should take full advantage of it!” [Yefefiah]
Knowing that there is no one in the orphanage beside Grandpa Claude, Sis Rafiah and Kronbir (Cupid's adoptive dwarf brother who works at the training hall), we rush, increasing our pace little by little, and...
”Rafiah!” [Yefefiah]
”You guys... What are you doing here?” [Rafiah]
Sis Rafiah is on an alert. We caught her when she wanted to do her shopping. Wasting no time, Yefefiah and the other push her, entering one of the empty orphanage rooms all the while Sis Rafiah is struggling to say something to protest. Poor her, she couldn't even protest for getting this harsh treatment from her friends, and even if she finds a word to protest, I'm pretty sure it will only fall on deaf ears
While Sis Rafiah sit on a chair, other sit on the bed, or just stand in front of her. One of the healer set up a table between Sis Rafiah and all of us, and Yefefiah quickly take the bell like device from her item pocket and put it in the middle of the table. Sis Rafiah's eye dilates, which suggests she already know what will happen to her
”Sorry, but can we stop this?” [Rafiah]
”Absolutely not!” [Yefefiah]
As expected. I just hope I won't get scold or getting a cold shoulder treatment from Sis Rafiah afterward. That will be scary
”Come on now, put your hand on top of the bell” [Yefefiah]
”Sigh...” [Rafiah]
She have to agree. There isn't much choice for her, and to test it out
”Alright, first question. Is it true you and the hunter adventure start dating?” [Yefefiah]
”Of course not!” [Rafiah]
We don't even need the lie detector to see whether that's the truth or not. Her red face like a tomato just confirms it all, and
(The bell didn't react. I guess she really is telling the truth. That's a relief) [Charlotte]
I don't know why, but the idea of Sis Rafiah dating someone is something that I oppose of. I wonder why, I can't explain it myself
”Alright, next question. Don't you feel like dating Jacks?” [Healer A]
”NO! Plus, he will get married to Alice soon!” [Rafiah]
(Are they going to keep teasing her like this?) [Elise]
(That seems to be the case) [Kara]
