13 Hill Climbing (1/2)
”Master Ikki, we found another hill, shall we start to search this hill?”Matius ask me a question.
”Master Ikki, I want to also search for mineral sources in this hill, can you allow me?” mister Lukas is voicing his request to inspect the hill mineral potency. Maybe he wants to search for ore or other metal sources.
”This hill is big, maybe we should spread to make the searching faster master Ikki” this time chief Harvard give his opinion.
I'm thinking for a while. All their request is reasonable and there's no reason to reject it. So I just nodded and agreeing
”Okay, let's do that way”
After hearing my approval, chief Harvard start to command his men
”Alright, let's spread in a pair and take a look at this hill and be careful. Master Ikki, please take care of my daughter” chief Harvard giving his command and hurriedly grab Lukas hand and go to right side of the mountain.
Matius and Marius also following him make a pair and go to left side of the mountain, leave me and Silvie alone. Damn old man Harvard, did he intentionally doing this?
So we stand still awkwardly in this hill slope like when we meet in front of her house for a while until she starts to speak.
”Um, master Ikki, do you dislike me?”
Huh? Why suddenly she asks that?
”Hmm? No, not at all. why I should dislike beautiful girl like you?”
Whoops! I don't know why I said 'beautiful girl like you' instead I can just say no. now look at her blushing there. Damn! My mouth is just too honest
”Am I not trouble you or drag master Ikki down?” she asked again
”No, and just call me name Ikki, don't add that master thing. I thought our age not much different right?”
She just nodded and I can see her face getting redder.
”And what are we going to do now?”
”Look for the cave of course, and if we can't find it here, we try to climb up to the top of the hill. Can you do that?”
”Yes, mast …. I mean Ikki. I can do that”
”Good. Let's start searching and don't go too far from me. I'm afraid you'll meet a wolf again”
She nodded as a sign of understanding, I can see she a little tremble when I mention wolf. It seems she still has lingering fear toward the wolf.
