Chapter 17-Silvie's Meeting With Celyne

Silvie had returned with a bowl of porridge in her hands, but her face was still a little red. She sat down beside me and handed me a bowl of porridge, without saying a word.

"Silvie my body still hurts a little, don't you want to feed me?" I said with an unwilling expression.

Silvie heard my request her face turned even redder, but she didn't refuse and brought a spoonful of porridge to my mouth.

"Does it taste good?" Silvie asked me curiously.

"Aaam… this is delicious, thanks Silvie," I smiled in response.

Silvie, who heard me say it was delicious, smiled too. Silvie and I talked a lot about various things, from my trip to the city, while Silvie would talk about how to live in an orphanage without me. But when she heard me mention Celyne her expression clouded a little.

"Celyne… do you like that girl?" Silvie spoke to me with a displeased expression.

'Oh shit did I say wrong about Celyne, I should have known, no woman wants the person she likes, talking about other people, especially when we're together,'

But I'm not one to lie, I don't want chaos just because I lie. Unless it's a matter of life and death.

"Of course I like her, she's a nice girl, after all, she's also Uncle Braine's daughter, Hmn Silvie, are you jealous?" I asked her with a playful expression.

Silvie heard what I said had a blushing face, but after that, her expression clouded again, and pushed the bowl into my hand.

"You eat alone, I don't want to feed you," Silvie said, looking away.

"W-what is it Silvie, do you hate me now?"

I said with a pained expression. Silvie heard what I said her face slightly panicked. She now seemed to be starting to hesitate.

"Calm down Silvie, I won't leave you no matter what, so don't worry," I said firmly to her.

Silvie's face was now as red as an apple, she took the bowl in my hand.

"I-if that's what you say, that's fine,"

"I'm glad to hear that, when you meet Celyne I'm sure you'll like her, she's a good girl," I smiled at her.

"Hopefully," Silvie sighed.

Silvie continued to feed me, we both talked a lot about something. After she finished feeding me she came out of the room to wash the bowl.

I'm starting to think about what I'm going to do now since the disaster is over. I want to become stronger, to go to demon territory later, there's no way I'll do it now.

"Come on, if I go now, it's the same as looking for death,"

But when I'm in a city or village I feel like I can't get stronger quickly, the forest here only has the highest Rank C Monsters.

This is also a pretty good reason, for the protagonist who is still weak to become strong. The story begins when the Protagonist enters the academy. Mervbanis Academy is somewhere in Sailos City, it's in the inner city, but I've never been there.

Mervbanis Academy also accepts quests like those in the guild, but it doesn't only cover the area around the city, but it accepts all requests across the continent. As for the difficulty level of the quests, it will range from Rank F to Rank A, and for the rest of the levels. it could only be completed by great students, who deserved the quest.

I finally came up with a solution. Mervbanis academy exams will only be able to take if you are 16 years old, which means I still have 6 years left to become strong. I plan to search for the ancient ruins, which are in the Sorca Forest, which is near a small town called Robis Town.

Sorca Forest is a very dangerous forest, not even one has been able to fully explore all areas.

The monsters in the slightly deeper areas have Rank A powers that are impossible for ordinary people to explore. I can't imagine what is in the depths of the forest if the slightly deeper areas are inhabited by A Rank monsters.

However, when it comes to Robis City, this might be a bit unpleasant to hear, because the city has discrimination between races. It is a city close to the Human Kingdom.

'Hah.. really, wherever the world is, war, racism, hunger, it's everywhere,'

I can only shake my head. The world is fair and unfair at the same time.

It is fair because we are born in the world as human beings and unfair because everything is based on luck. If the world is fair, there is no such thing as rich or poor. Everything must be earned through effort, if you don't try you won't get anything even if you have talent. But if all in this world is fair everyone will act as an emotionless robot, because all is fair.

If you have talent, it's also luck, if you don't have talent at something you do. It sometimes ends up not coming to fruition, no matter how hard you try.

"But for me, I'm quite happy now because I'm one of the lucky people,"

With this luck, I'll make the most of it. After thinking about all that I went back to rest and fell asleep on the bed.

Two days passed.

I am now outside the orphanage with Silvie. Silvie and I are planning to go to the city, I also want to introduce Silvie to Celyne, this will also be my last time in the village, as I will be away for 6 years.

All the carriages were already in front of the orphanage. Braine was currently talking to Bella.

"Bella I heard you're not afraid of seeing blood anymore, aren't you going back to the city?" Brainne asked curiously.

"I'm not going back, I feel this is the best place for me," Bella smiled.

"If that's what you want, that's fine, the most important thing now is that you're not afraid to see blood again," Brainne smiled in relief.

"Then I will return to the city, with these two children,"

Brainne looked to the side. Silvie and I nodded and arrived in front of Bella.

"Mom, we'll be living in the city from now on, but don't worry because I'll be back here," I said to Bella.

"Mom, I will also go to the city with Lute and stay there, I want to practice there to prepare for the entrance exam, Mervbanis Academy," Silvie smiled and hugged Bella tightly, Bella hugged back.

"I'll also come back here occasionally if I have time, since this is where I live," After that Silvie let go of her embrace, she had a face slightly wet with tears.

Next, I hugged Bella for a few seconds before letting go.

"Then you two, be careful," Bella said.

"Um, see you later Mom,"

Silvie and I said, we both said goodbye to everyone in the orphanage and entered the carriage with Braine after that. Before that Braine said goodbye to Bella after that the carriage started moving.

Bella just watched the carriage from afar, with a little longing.

"Unbeknownst to me, they are now able to take care of themselves,"

Usually, orphanage children will start to be independent when they are 14 years old.

Bella smiled remembering past memories and went back into the orphanage with everyone

...

Inside the carriage, Silvie, Braine, and I were here.

"So your name is Silvie right, I'm sure you'll be a good friend to my daughter, unlike the boy over there," Braine looked at me displeased.

"What do you mean uncle? I'm Celyne's best friend you know!!" I refused his words firmly.

"Tch,"

Brainne clicked his tongue at me. Silvie couldn't help but laugh at our behavior.

During the trip we chatted a lot, sometimes Braine and I got into a fight while chatting.

----

Three days passed, during the journey.

We all arrived at the city without any problems, there weren't even any monsters during the journey. When Silvie saw the city she was in awe of the huge city view.

I also smiled at her behavior. If it was me back then, maybe I would be just as amazed when I saw the city. Because the city is so big and looks beautiful.

We entered the city without any problems, the adventurer party parted ways with ours. Braine's troop also returned to his trading hall.

As for our carriage, it leads to the manor. Arriving at the manor we all get off the carriage. The manor door opens and we see two women, a mother, and her child.

"Lute, you're back!!"

Celyne immediately ran very fast towards me, I hugged her and we circled there as we hugged. When I was done, I let go of Celyne's embrace. Silvie seeing the two of us hugging seemed to be a little displeased.

Braine saw that what his daughter was waiting for was me, instead of him. Had a twitching expression on his face.

"Celyne what about your Father? Don't you miss Father," Braine opened his arms in frustration.

"Of course, I miss you, Father,"

Celyne hugged Braine afterward. Braine breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his daughter hadn't forgotten him. After letting go of the hug, Celyne looked at Silvie with a tilt of her head.

"Celyne, this is Silvie, she's my friend since childhood at the orphanage," I introduced Silvie to Celyne.

Celyne heard this, her eyes shone brightly, and grabbed Silvie's hand.

"Silvie, you were Lute's childhood friend? There's a lot I want to ask."

Celyne pulled Silvie's hand. Silvie, whose hand was pulled, look at me with a look asking for help.I just replied with a smile.

The two of them entered the manor together. We all saw this smiling.

"Looks like it was the right choice to bring Silvie here, Celyne didn't have any female friends before," Braine said.

"I thought so too," Sina smiled.

After that, we all entered the manor together.
