Chapter 019 Admirer With A Rival Form

''I came suddenly, I understand. I will leave now, but I will definitely come again,'' the young man said confidently, ''Halvir, I will definitely be able to get your recognition!''

The young man left after declaring his wishes and politely saying goodbye. The young man left them with a sense of pride.

Halvir stared intently at the back of the reckless teenager. Although his gaze was tense, the corners of Halvir's lips seemed to curve up, showing a sense of pride. Although faint, Halvir's eyes seemed to sparkle.

As an adult with a lot of experience. He was proud to see the great potential of the raw teenager who had just challenged him.

Not far from there, there were several people who were watching. They were also the younger generation who admired Halvir but did not have the confidence to appear right in front of Halvir. Except for the young teenager just now who had above average courage even though he was only a *Diamond-ranked Beastman.

''He's too reckless...'' muttered one of the few people who were secretly watching what was happening.

''How dare he approach Halvir who was with his woman.''

Several people who were gathered on the riverbank also saw the incident clearly. With their sharp hearing, they could hear the conversation even though it was faint because of the fairly far distance, but it was not hidden.

''But, he beat us. Even though he is young...''

''That's right, I also envy him.''

''You praised him, then why didn't you catch up with him earlier?!''

''I'm not ready yet to face Halvir.''

''So you admit that he has more guts than you!''

''Is that okay, that's the truth...''

''Even though he beat me. At least, it can make me braver and try not to lose to him.''

Halvir is one of the village leaders who is highly respected. Not only as a fighter who has carved his name, but also as an adult who is quite good at giving directions.

''Your friend's?'' asked Anindira, while continuing to chew her food.

''Who?'' answered Halvir in return.

''Hmh?!'' Anindira frowned at Halvir's unclear answer, ''The one just now?!'' Anindira continued, with her mouth still chewing her food.

''No,'' answered Halvir briefly.

''No?!'' exclaimed Anindira asking parrotingly.

''But I know him,'' said Halvir flatly.

Anindira looked at Halvir confusedly.

''He likes you,'' said Halvir again casually.

''HA?!'' exclaimed Anindira in surprise. She stopped eating and stared at Halvir with a stupid face.

''He came to me to tell me that he was going to approach you,'' Halvir said, casually explaining it, ''Do you like him too?''

''Kak Halvir!'' Anindira called with an annoyed expression, ''I don't know him... We just met... We didn't even talk!'' Anindira exclaimed, answering sentence by sentence in her dictation while grumbling to answer Halvir, ''Besides, he only looks at you.''

''Um,'' Halvir nodded and answered Anindira briefly and indifferently, ''It's almost dark, we should go home!'' Halvir continued while flashing a smile of victory.

Halvir cleaned up their leftovers, washed his hands, then carried Anindira and took her home.

When they arrived home, it was already dark and nothing was visible. After changing the sheets of animal fur which covered the straw, their fairly large bed suddenly shrank when the two of them sat on it.

As they usually did in previous days. Anindira would sit on Halvir's lap with her back to him, while Halvir held Anindira in his arms. Anindira was no longer awkward with the attention given by Halvir.

''Anindira'' Halvir called, opening their first conversation at his house.

''Dira, Kak Halvir!'' Anindira answered while looking up at Halvir, even though she couldn't see anything at the moment.

''Hmh?!'' Halvir replied, feeling surprised because he didn't understand what Anindira meant.

''Dira. That's my favorite nickname at home,'' Anindira answered while smiling at herself while stroking Halvir's hand that was hugging her shoulder, ''You can call me that!'' Anindira continued still with what she usually did when sitting with Halvir when night fell.

''So that's your special nickname?!''

''Yes, my family always calls me that.''

''Okay,'' Halvir replied with sparkling eyes, ''You want me to call you that too?!'' Halvir added with his lips curved high up. If only Anindira could see Halvir's happy smile right now.

''Of course!'' Anindira exclaimed in response while nodding happily.

Halvir and Anindira had gotten used to spending time alone together all day and also at night. The togetherness became more exclusive because of the silence of the thick night in the forest.

''Dira,'' Halvir called softly, ''You talk a lot with Hans. You also call him *Kakak just like you call me,'' he continued, while putting his chin on Anindira's shoulder.

''Yes?!'' Anindira answered but with a questioning tone, ''Is there something wrong?'' Anindira asked carefully, considering she was in a different world now, ''You two look the same age as my big brother.''

Anindira spoke again in response to Halvir by looking up at him. Anindira did not know that her face was almost touching Halvir's face. Which, of course, made Halvir surprised to the point of acting awkwardly with a blushing face. But Anindira did not realize it at all.

''Do you like him?''

Halvir asked in a tone that showed that he was uncomfortable.

''Kak Halvir?!'' Anindira called in a surprised tone, ''I'm surprised by you. You've asked me that question twice today. What's wrong?'' Anindira asked innocently.

''You talk very easily to men,'' Halvir replied in a disappointed tone.

Anindira had no idea that Halvir was showing his jealousy very clearly.

''Kak Halvir, is there something wrong?'' Anindira asked, frowning, ''I only talk to them, is that not allowed?!''

Both Anindira and Halvir did not understand the concept of socializing for each party.

In this world, women always apply boundaries. Both men and women will keep a safe distance when socializing.

*Imprint is something that is both beneficial and dangerous.

A supernatural bond that will lock the subconscious without them being able to control it. Both men and women instinctively protect themselves from being *imprinted carelessly. For that reason, many women will always bow their heads when talking to men. Women more often ignore men who try to talk to them if they feel they will not have a relationship with them.

Of course, it is very different from the cultural ethics of the place where Anindira was born. They will be friendly and greet each other even though they are strangers. In the unwritten rules of friendliness, from where Anindira came from. When two or more people are talking, then one of them looks away, let alone their face. If done intentionally, it will be considered impolite.
