Chapter 49
Daytime was the worst time for me. After a while, however, I learned to ignore the finger-pointing and whispering from my brothers. The worst situation was whenever I had to take my shirt off. They all stared at me for a prolonged time, making me feel uncomfortable.
I understood why they found me interesting. I ignored them because I didn't think I did anything wrong. It was the Goddess' warrior who put me in this position, so I wasn't too worried.
There were times when the younger brothers approached me and touched me before running away immediately. It was annoying, but nothing more.
The real problem was the division among the brothers.
One evening after dinner, I was leaving the dining room to get ready for work when Iztal Yurema grabbed my arm and asked, "I heard Iztal Nairim took you. Is this true? He is telling everyone about it."
Iztal Yurema was still very young, barely a man, and was part of Eriez's clique.
