The right way to wake up.

When I woke up I can see the familiar celling of Klein house. Yep it the fourth time I wake up seeing the celling. My entire body aching and itching. That was the first thing I feel as I woke up. It not a dream, that frustrations as I am gonna get killed. Scary... I don't want to fight anymore... I am tired. But I should check my status since I definitely felt uncomfortable. I tried to move my right hand, but I can't feel my hand!! Wh-what is going on?! Is there something happen to my hand?

Ah, that why my entire body is aching and itching. But that doesn't explain why I can't move my arm. I try again to move my arm. Hmm I can move my left arm normally, as I see my left arm. Then once again I tried to move my right arm. I still can't move it or even feel it... Don't tell me it got amputeed since my burn is kinda severe. Yep, my entire left arm got bandaged. I move my sight to my right arm, and there Liefa laying her body on my right arm..

.... Seems like it a false alarm. My right arm just paralyzed since Liefa sleeping there made my blood couldn't flow there. Uoohhhh... this is finally a good way to wake up. Uehehehe... it much better then when a man on my sight as I wake up. I cute girl is the truth! Well she sleeping so peacefully tho, made me feel bad to wake her up. I move slowly to not wake her up, trying to sit down. She still got woken up tho. She look at me sleepily.

"Morning." I said, then her eyes starting to get watery. She then hug me tightly. Uehehehehe I can feel her.... Go away evil thought. Since I can't move, I only pat her head like before near the cliff. She even sniffles... Then the door opened, and 3 people fall down with only Klein standing.

"Yo, finally wake up sleepy head?" Ah, seems like the other 3 wast peeking and eavesdropping, when Klein come and open the door. The other 3 looks embarrassed as they stand up. Glen still look handsome and proper as always but he seems kinda sorry, while Rose and Drat basically have annoying face. And Liefa frozen up when seeing those 3.

"Aaa, I just wake up" I said to Klein as I ignoring the 3 other people.

"Good, then let's go to spar!" He said full of energy.... What the heck is this battle maniac saying to a wounded person. Before I can retort him Liefa already did.

"Sir Klein what did you mean by that? Also what is the 3 of you do there?" With a scary smile... I can feel a negative aura emitted from Liefa. Scary... But cute, I can see they all sweating.

"I-it only a joke milady." Klein said as he shift his glance. While Glen look apologetic, but the other 2 only made a forceful whistle. Then Liefa turn back as if a dog wagging her tail to her master with face praise me. So I pat her once again when she nestled on my chest.

"Fufufu, seems like the princess can't hold her feeling anymore." Said Rose.

"Oi Rose don't tease Liefa anymore, she already crying all night for 2 days while tending mister Charavgi." Said Glen warning Rose. But his words seems like give more damage to Liefa then Rose words. Now Liefa didn't even look at my face, and only leaning her head on my chest. No, that not the important part, you said 2 days?

"Did you said 2 days?!" I am shocked, as they all nodding at my words. I thought I only unconscious for a night. But it already 2 days since then. When I thinking about that my stomach rumbling.

"Seems like he is hungry Liefa, time for him to eat you cleanly." Said Drat with a seriously annoying face! Danyum, how in the world this guy can even be a priest apprentice! Liefa which nestled on me as if her tail got stepped suddenly get up and run outside with a really red face.

"Ah, now you made her cry Drat"

"Bu-but I only joking!"

"You cross the line."

"My verdict is guilty."

Said Rose, Drat, Glen and ended with Klein... By any chance are you guys doing a comedy?! Seeing none gonna move out, I tried to get up. Darn it hurts as I immediately fall down once again.

"Oi, what are you doing?!" Klein said as he move to the bed side, the other 3 following him. But before I can do anything Liefa is back to the room, while bringing a wooden bowl with a beautiful smile. When she look at me, she panicked and put the bowl on the table.

"What are you doing Mister Charavgi? You must rest!" She said those as she push away the other 4 people, and helping me to lay once again. As if they were in agreement, the other 4 move away, then walking outside.

"Well buddy, I still got another business with Arnold so I need to go."

"Fufu, it chance for you to dominating him while he sick. Right, we also need to help the chief granddaughter."

"No, no, no don't dominated him, just take advantage of him fully."

"... I am sorry of my party member Mister Charavgi."

Yep, they left after saying those words leaving the red faced Liefa alone with me. She seems flustered when she tried to understand all of their words. Before shaking her head..... She definitely imagining what they said.

"Cough.. can you help me up?" I said those to made her return to her sense.

"Aahhhh... No no no, you must rest!"

"But... I can't eat while laying on bed can't I? I need to sit at least." Her face got beet red. Then she move helping me to sit. Ahhh, she is so fragrance, and I can peek... Evil thought go away. Well today Liefa using a normal clothes, which only a short sleeve and a long skirts. So I definitely able to p... Go away evil thought!! It won't be funny if my bro get up when I am like this. She will think I am pervert!! So I put back my gentleman mask.

"Thanks Liefa. I also heard you're tending me for 2 days. You must be tired."

"Nnn, it not a problem at all. Also I didn't feel tired, since it for you mister Charavgi." She said those with a smile, well I can see her eyes got a bags and kinda swollen. Somehow I got fluttering feeling. When I try to pick up the wooden bowl Liefa suddenly snatch it.

"Let's me feed you Mister Charavgi." She said while blushing. Th-this is... The legendary lovey dovey spoon-feeding?! She then scooping the food on the bowl, then blow it too cool it up before saying aaaa to me... This I really the legendary lovey dovey act! I open my mouth and taste the food. It only a grain porridge, but it feel so tas.... Th-this.... What the heck is this?! I completely awful. Whoever cook it, go apologized to the ingredients! Looking at my face, Liefa look kinda sad... Don't tell me... Sigh, but I am not like those protagonist that gonna force smile and eat the awful food just because his lover made it.

"I-is it not of your taste?" She look like abandoned puppy.... No, no, no! Even if you made that face, you still need to apologise to the ingredients. Ugh.. should I lie like those people? But if this happened everyday until I am recovered... I'll lie on coffins!

"... I'll be honest to you Liefa... It awful. I am thankful for your hard work to made this for me but... I too bad" I said it! Her face paled, as she feel bad... You can called me anything you want, but for this I won't go down!

"I-i am sorry." She started to cry.

"No, no, no listen to me until I am done. That is why I'll teach you to cook." Yes, I said it to her. Her look change back to happiness when she heard it.

"Mi-mister Charavgi will teach me to cook?"

"Yes, I will teach you to cook until you got better, and able to make a tasty food. Do you want to learn?"

[You were offering your guidance to Liefa van Pratje. Are you sure?]

Huh? I heard a notification sound.

"Yes! I will try my best!" Liefa nods and smiles brightly.

[Liefa van Pratje has accepted user guidance invitation. Liefa van Pratje become your first disciple. Liefa van Pratje learning speed on all skill and magic will increase by 5 folds when hunting or learning with user. User won't be able to cut ties with her as master and disciple until Liefa van Pratje unlocking her potential. Experience will increase by 5 folds when you hunting with your disciple.]

.... Danyum?! Oi, oi, oi... Are you kidding me? Notification? Seriously? I am shocked at the notification, the blessings that didn't do anything until know is tooking an effect! But it wasn't just me that shocked, there another one that got shocked. Yes, it Liefa.

"Mi-mister Charavgi.... Yo-you are... "

.... Now I really done it. I check her status and found a new title on her.

The First Disciple of World Sage.

I immediately give a gesture to her to close her mouth.

"Please don't tell anyone okay? Liefa is the first one that know about my real job." I said those as I put my finger on her mouth. She blushing once again, and it even from her neck until her ears. Before she nodding at me.

"Thank you Liefa."

"Bu-but.... Wh-why mister Charavgi... Auuu.." ah since she flustered she bite her tongue like before when we eat dinner. I already laugh when I realized, well she really cute indeed. She is now hidding her face with her hands.

"Well, I know what you're going to ask." Honestly sooner or later, if I am going to court her I'll need to tell her about this.

"I hide it because it bothersome." Of course it not about Earth or anything related with heroes.

"Bo-bothersome? Wo-won't you get many job offer or even gift from people and nobles just by stating that you are..." I press my finger on her lips again... Ah I think I'll got addicted to touch her lips... No evil thought goes away!

"Indeed, what you said might be possible, but with those things come responsibility." I smile wryly at her.

"I-isn't it normal for those with power to bear a responsibility?"

"Well it normal... If they choose to get those power and position. But what if they never choose to be one?"

"Then they should try their best to bear it."

"Aren't you contradicting yourself then?"

Why did I said those? Because I realized from what Klein before, that Klein seems kinda surprised when he saw her at the first time. He isn't just surprised at her presence, he also surprised when he heard that she is an adventurer. It mean that her family might be disagreed for her to be adventurer or she might be running away from her house. From what I can see, she herself act like a commoners, not like a noble. Also the things on the cave how she keep sitting near me. And my assumption is correct. She is shocked at my words and shifting her face to the ground.

"I don't know what are you aiming for, or how your real feeling to me. But I am not dense nor I am naive enough to didn't realize anything weird."

"No! If it about my feeling to you it..." She stopping when I stare straight at her eyes. I only shrugs my shoulder.

"See, you realize that you are also running away that why you are unsure about your feeling to me." She keep her face down.

"It the same for me, I hide it because it wasn't my choices to be a World Sage. Same as you, being part of noble family weren't your choice. So it bothersome, the burden from those things were to heavy. That why I am hiding it while you are running away from it." At that time I can see tears streaming from her face. Well, for my case it not because of burden tho. It completely because I don't want to get involved in the chaos that will happen. I even thanking All Father and Rivari for this power to survive, and from the start I only got dragged around.

"Wh-what... Sniff.. should I do? Sniff.." she asked me.

"I wonder, since I also don't know what should I do. All I did right now is living without regrets I guess." At that time I look at the window, while she keep sniffling while crying. I still remember clearly how it feel being on the death door. The pain, the burn, also the talks afterwards. About the demon that doesn't feel like demonic at all. About Rivari last words, about stopping the both side if they gonna annihilated each other. Well it only few days ago, but there so many things happen at once.

"Well there is no need to rushing things." I faced her back as I said those then patting her head. Yep, that a words for and also for myself. For both of us whose felt burdened by our responsibility. Even right now all I wanted is live peaceful life. Without getting involved in heroes, or demon. But can I achieved that? Is it on my arm reach if I grows stronger than heroes or demon lord? Is being stronger is the only way? Somehow on the last question I definitely sure it wasn't the only way. As I am in thought Liefa finally stop crying. She then looking at me clearly with a firm eyes. So I pulled back my arm.

[Congratulation, after hearing your preaching, your disciple Liefa van Pratje has unlocked her potential. As the master, you received bonus status equal as 50% of your disciple potential.]

"I apologized Mister Charavgi. For approaching you with other purpose." She bow down gracefully. Ah, I can– "also Mister Charavgi I can feel your gaze..." she blushing.

"Thank you for your guidance, my mind get much clearer about what I am going to do. And I can feel my mana and power gushing out." She kinda change, but somehow I can feel it a good change. Before she was like a pushover, while now she didn't left any gap.

"Aaa... It's okay... So what do you want to do?"

"I think, I'll start with talking about my identity to my party. Also I wanted my family to recognize me as adventurer not a tool for marriage." She smiled bitterly. I see that why she running away from home.

"That good then."

"Then afterwards..." She mumbling something.

"Hmm? Did you said something?"

"N-no." Her face is blushing again. Then we stay quiet for awhile. Before my stomach rumbling again.

"Ah, you haven't eat anything. Should I made a new one?" She ask me as she stand up.

"Sure, but as promised I'll teach you how to do it. So help me get up."

"Sure." She then help me get up. I see the Liefa from before that acting like a mom to me and keep flustered after I woke up is a fake. While the real her is this one whose much more relaxed but without a gap. "No peeking please."

Whelp, she become sharper tho. There also another one thing that I am sure it real, it is how she tends me and worried about me. I guess she can't decide if it gratitude or love, but for her either way is fine since if I got lured before and take her up, she can accept me because it normal her to gift their body for either those feeling. However for me it difference, if what she was feeling is a gratitude I don't wanted her to give her life or body to me. All I need is thank you. Because I want a happy family if by any chance I got married.

Ugh, just walking to the kitchen made my entire body aches. I should ask Drat to show me healing magic later on. I lean on the wall near the kitchen as I give instructions to Liefa. Of course when I ask her to apologized to the ingredients that she waste before she declining while pouting, and called me bully. Yep, every step she made I am watching her, even how to control the fire on stove with mana control. I can hear a few notification rang on my head, but my focus is on Liefa basically it because she can't control her new power! Danyum how much power did she gained?! I should check it.

Hmmm? Well it indeed increasing considerably, also her job change? Is it because of my influence? Also she already got cooking skill, and Dagger Mastery. That mean the notification from before was that. And after 30 minutes she serve her dishes. Hmmm, now this one got a good smells. It the same porridge, but even the smells is different from before. Then we both eat the porridge, now this is edible. Well the flavor is only garlic, salt and some jerky broth. So it normal to taste like this. So we ate it to our fullest, and when Klein come back he ate the leftover. Afterwards Liefa goes to the village chief, where her companion staying. I am sure she goes to talk about her real identity.

As I sit down on the sofa, Klein goes to the other single sofa. In front of fire place there is 3 sofa, 2 single sofa and one long sofa in between.

"So how's the date?" Ask Klein.

"Date your head. After you guys left it become a serious conversation."

"Heee? Why so?"

"You already know why right?" I shrugs my shoulder, ouch. Yep, I shouldn't move around too much.

"No, seriously I don't know, that why I am asking."

"Seriously you don't realize she was running away from home?!"

"She run away from home?! Well indeed it weird that she is becoming an adventurer. Since 6 months ago I heard she got a fiancee, well it political marriage tho." Klein said those as try to remember something.

"It understandable tho, to run away because of being force to married with someone that you didn't even know."

"Is that how is it in the east? But it pretty rare here tho. What more from what I heard it seems that her fiancee is pretty decent."

"Oh, what kind of person is he?" Yep it kinda raise my interest.

"Hmm, from what I heard he is also a Marquis son, and what more he is the first son which gonna be the family head later on. Also he doesn't have any contender since his brother is on his side. The public opinion also said he is gallant and gentle lord. Well there is a rumors tho that he sell slaves but there is no evidence that he related to any slave traders or even slave market." Explaining Klein.

"Whoa, you got pretty detailed information there."

"Ah, that girl grandpa ask me to check his background once. Since he is suspicious. But I think that grandpa will said any man that near his granddaughter as suspicious guy tho. So I don't really know, but yeah I found nothing bad about that guy even tho I am just do a rough information gathering."

"Is that so? Then why is she?"

"Are you sure she running away?"

"Pretty sure, when I said those her face got paler and can't answer my words at all even after quite some times. The. She start crying after I said another argument." Well, what made me sure is the notification afterwards tho. Since her potential won't be unlocked if I am wrongly accused her.

"Maybe I'll ask her grandpa later on." Klein scratching his head as he said those.

"Good idea, but maybe don't tell him she was here. Since I am sure that grandpa will come running from your story." Yep, he is definitely one of those overprotective grandpa.

"Hahaha, indeed. But anyway, how long will you keep me in dark?" Klein aura suddenly change as he staring at me.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"What are you hiding or even maybe what are you?" He smiled lightly. What?! It this topic again? Really Klein... well he can be trusted tho. But I don't want to fight him all the time. I am sure if he knew the truth he gonna charge at me. Maybe that will work.

"Sigh, how about this, if I tell you my secret, you must promise me no more death match sparring, or half death sparring. If we sparring it will be really sparring for skill not to see which one of us stronger."

"Not gonna happen! But relax I won't tell anyone about it. I won't change my way to talk to you. Even if you're World Sage."

"Aaa.. I see..... What?! How did you know?!"

"Honestly I am peeking from the window. Gahahaha... I never thought what I would see something like that tho." He grin... This guy... Sigh... But well nothing can be done.

"Sigh, thank you then." I feel he can be trusted anyway.

"But I kinda understand what did you mean by those words too. Since I also run away to this place to live slow life."

"Ehhh.... You're also run away?!"

"Gahahaha... Well I run away from the ranked up test, or it can be said I give up. Oh, well let's change a topic." Even tho he laughing I can see from his face there a regret. I am not running away tho! I just got dragged alright. Afterwards we talk for awhile about the village condition and other small talk about the day.
