12 – The eight year old who accept the result of the guardian deity love value (2/2)

So she was guiding me around because she is an apprentice.

I saw Arti stop the flying fist of the fifteen year old scion with one finger.

That’s a feat that can’t be done without considerable skill.

「Even though Arti is so skilled, you are an apprentice?」

「Yes, I still have to train day after day」

After all, the ability of the members of Salvation Organization are quite high.

While talking about those things, we arrived at the nursery.

「I will leave now Will Wolms, Saria and RunRun」

「Thank you very much for all your help, Arti」

「See you soon, Aru-neechan!」

「Woof! Woof!」

「Pigi」

RunRun licked Arti’s face to say goodbye.

Fluffy cried out from within my clothes.

Arti patted RunRun a little and leaves.

Saria waved goodbye till Arti disappeared out of sight.

I gently hugged Saria.

「Are you hungry, Saria?」

「Yes! Are you hungry too, Anicha?」

「Yeah, your brother is hungry too」

「Saria has dried meat」

Saria took out the dried cappapi meat from her pocket.

She must have saved yesterday’s snack.

It was common for my diet to be reduced due to the harassment of the scions.

The retainers secretly brought me meals but even that has a limit.

RunRun would also share the birds he hunted, but that didn’t happen all the time.

Due to that, there were times when we were left hungry.

I have put too much burden on Saria.

Even if I drop out of the Academy of Heroes, we will continue living without returning back to the

main family.

I should earn enough money to at least feed Saria.

I’m sure I can manage it somehow if I work together with RunRun.

「You can have it, Anicha! Eat it!」

Saria smiled saying so.

「But that is Saria’s snack, right?」

「Since Anicha worked hard, I’ll give it to you!」

Even though she herself was hungry, she offered it to me.

Such kindness.

「But Saria is also hungry, right?」

「No, I am not! Onee-chan gave me some snacks」

She seems to have gotten snacks from the nursery.

But when I asked her if she was hungry a while ago, she definitely said she was hungry.

「Anicha, Saria’s stomach is full from eating, so you eat please!」

—gurr—

Saria’s stomach growled at the same time.

She must have thought I wouldn’t realize her stomach growling.

With a smile, she offered the dried meat to me.

「…… I see, thank you. I will accept it」

「Yeah! Eat it!」

I think a little before eating the dried meat I got from Saria.

It is supposed to taste bad, but it tastes delicious since Saria offered it to me.

「Thank you, Saria. It was delicious」

「Ehehehe—」

「So, I asked Arti, and she said it’s alright to eat in the cafeteria」

That is one of the reasons why I ate the dried meat.

If Saria can eat meals at Academy of Heroes, I will gladly accept Saria’s goodwill.

Dried meat is full of love, but it is not nutritious.

Saria should be able to eat nutritional food from Academy of heroes all she wants from now on.

「Really? We can eat at the cafeteria?」

「In addition, you can even ask for another round of food」

「Wow! Another!」

「RunRun can also get your own portion so rest easy」

「Woof!」

RunRun excitedly wags his tail. He doesn’t look like a god-beast at all.

Fluffy was wiggling around in my clothes,

「We’ll get one for Fluffy too」

「Pigi」

「Well, let’s go to the cafeteria」

「Let’s go!」

「Woof!」

「Pigi! Pigi!」

And so, Saria, RunRun, Fluffy and I headed towards the cafeteria.
