58 Tey
Well it seems the man is dead but at least we saved this girl.
Tey: "ha ha ha hahaha ah"
She started laughing madly, did she hit her head, or did she hate that guy so much.
Tey: "ALRIGHT GO AHEAD I'M READY"
(What?)
Tey: " WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, YOUR HERE TO KILL ME RIGHT, I ALREADY DIED 6 TIMES ALREADY, ONE MORE WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE, MAKE IT QUICK"
She opens her arms, looks up, closes her eyes, and smiles, it seems she heard our earlier conversation and believed that I'm really her to kill her..
Sapphire: " Emm... I'm not here to kill you?"
Tey: "then to enslave me, you also want my blessing..."
She looks dejected..
Sapphire: "No no, I just took intrest in the conversation you and that guy were having earlier, if it weren't for the fact that the subject was about me, and if you didn't ask for help, I would have probably ignored you both.
Tey: "..."
She seems to be gaurded up against me, I better calm her down first.
Sapphire: "its been a long day and you must be tired and hungry, let's get some food and rest, then will talk, but before that let me remove that little annoying necklace you got"
And with a swift motion I broke the collar on her neck before he had the time to realize it, she looks slightly taken aback but also relieved.
I then took some hot meat soup, and fresh bread from my storage, it's good thing that space magic keeps it fresh.
Her eyes lit up, and I can see her nose twitching, it seems she finally calmed down, after that I set up a tent, and made a fire, I took some chairs the i got from Hadrick's mansion, and we sat down.
She kept gobbling up without saying a word, and after she finished she passed out on the spot, she must haven't had any proper food or rest for days.
I Carry her gently and put her on one of the mats in the tent and cover her, I move the other mat away and lie down, there is no point in waiting her to wake up, I might as well sleep.
______________________________________________
The next morning I woke up, with something soft pressing on me.
OIIII EXCLUDING THE CLOTHES ISN'T THIS THE SAME SCENE WITH LAPIS , WHY ARE YOU IN MY MATTTTT!!!
Sapphire: " Excuse me"
Tey: "mmm.."
Sapphire: " EXCUSE ME"
Tey: "WHAAH...."
She even stumbled away like Lapis..
Tey: " HEY WHAT WRONG WITH YOUUU, ARE YOU A BRUTE, WHY DID YOU SCREAM SO LOUD IN SOMEONE SLEEPING EARS?!!!"
Sapphire: " WELL WHY WERE YOU IN MY BED?!!!"
Tey: "!!!"
It seems she just remembered where we were and who I am, honestly she was so gaurded yesterday, what changed now.
Tey:" umm.. I woke up at night, and there were sounds coming from the forest, I got scared and couldn't help it"
She woke up before me, yet she didn't try to run away, is the forest more scary than a Demon Lord.
Sapphire: " for now let's have some breakfast, and talk"
Her eyes lit up at the word breakfast.
Sapphire: "but before that go take a bath, I could smell it when you were hugging me, you stink"
Tey: "I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT, BUT CAN'T YOU HAVE SOME DELICACY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO A WOMAN"
Sapphire: " WHAT WOMEN, IN THOSE DIRT COVERD DRAGS YOU LOOK LIKE A MOUNTAIN GOPHER"
She lowered her head, it seems she's aware of her current looks.
I took out a wooden tub that I made Hadrick make before, and filled it is hot water that I made with magic.
Sapphire: "take your clothes off in the tent, I'll wash them while you bathe."
Tey: "...."
Sapphire: "what?"
Tey: "you won't peak right?"
Sapphire: "GO AND CLEAN YOURSELF ALREADY YOU GOPHER"
I washed her clothes while she was bathing, then I took out some warm cheese pastries and made some tea.
Tey: "I'm back"
She looks more beautiful after she cleaned up, but her sense of fashion is still disastrous.
Tey: "SOOOO GOOOD"
Sapphire: "Thanks I made them myself"
Tey: "Demon Lords cook?"
Sapphire: "hmph don't look down on Demon Lords, I'll have you know that my cooking and cleaning are both level 10"
Tey: "heh.. That's higher than mine, although I agree it's impressive, I wouldn't go bragging about it, it might ruin your image"
Sapphire: "nevermind that, can you tell me already who you are, and what is your relationship to the temple of life and me, also your blessing.. "
Tey: "..."
Sapphire: "what, are you about pass out again?"
Tey: "NOOOOO I WAS TIRED ALRIGHT, I DON'T USUALLY PASS OUT"
it seems that embarrasses her.
Tey: "If I told you the truth you might kill me..."
Sapphire: " *sigh* Alright let me tell you what I pieced together from hearing you both."
Tey: "!!!!"
Sapphire: "You worked for the temple of life, you have a blessing from the goddess, that can track people"
Tey: "..."
Sapphire: "and considering what I know about this goddess's blessings, there is a bad side effect to it"
Tey:"..."
Sapphire : "You don't want to use your blessing, but the temple wants to force you to"
Tey: "...."
Sapphire: "*sigh* don't worry even if you can track me down, I won't kill you."
*silence*
*silence*
*silence*
Tey: " my.. My name is Tey..
I used to be a librarian in the public library in the capital, my parents died in a cart accident when I was little, after that my grandmother took care of me, and raised me up"
Sapphire: "that would explain your sense of fashion"
Tey: "DO YOU WANT TO HEAR THE REST OF THE STORY OR KEEP MAKING JOKES"
Sapphire: "... Sorry... Go on"
Tey: " I inherited the job from my grandmother, and two years ago, a guy came from the temple and told me that the goddess sent an epiphany that I'm blessed...
At first I was extremely happy, it was a chance to get adventure and be a member of the goddess of life temple, I was really excited until my first job came...
My blessing isn't to track, its *connect*"
