Chapter 141 - The Flugel We Helped

Morning has come.

After our session of night battle, we rinsed our body with a towel dipped in warm water.

I wanted to fondle Ruciel's body as we cleaned ourselves but I got a pinch at the waist.

"Arh! What are you doing!?" I shouted at Ruciel.

The girl ignored me after voicing, "Hmph!"

And yes, never once did I get an answer to that question.

We put on our clothes and then met the kids. We invited them to the restaurant for a hearty breakfast. 

And I'll say, there was one thing that bothered me when we ate that amazing breakfast. The thing I mean is the fact that Ruciel pinches my waist every two minutes that go by.

"Arh! Stop it Ruciel!" I scolded the girl shortly after she pinched me for the thirteenth time. "Seriously, what do you want? Why are you acting like an annoying girlfriend?"

The Fallen Elf girl didn't give me an answer. Once again, she moved her hand to get close to my waist. Obviously, she wanted to pinch me again. So, before she did the deeds, I said, "I'll kiss you badly for every pinch I get."

The threats I voice worked beautifully.

Ruciel stopped her hand. Then, the girl's cheeks turned red. Alarmed, she pulled her hand in quick succession. A moment later, she keep her distance from me.

She ate her breakfast without saying anything even though a few times, she stole a glance at me.

What a troublesome girlfriend, I think when I saw and got a taste of the girl's behavior.

She calmed down. Because of this, I can spend my breakfast quietly and...

I checked my Stat. 

It's quite a surprise that Tear Antelope truly gave me a big boost to AGI. Thanks to this, the Stat managed to break through two hundred.

I can't wait to see the impact of this AGI explosion on battlefields. I'm sure, it will be amazing.

We picked up and put on our hunting gear. We left the inn with a craving to wild hunt. However, before we shed blood and took the lives of the monsters, we had to stop at someplace first.

That's right.

We need to visit the clinic.

I want to know the state of the Flugel woman we saved yesterday. And more than that, I want to know her story.

"Welcome," greeted a Flugel with a warm smile.

Yes, this woman is the Healer who took care of the woman we saved yesterday.

Ugh! That's extremely confusing. So...

"Thank you and... may I know your name miss Healer? By the way, my name is Eclaite."

The woman nodded. "You may, My name is Fai, it's nice to meet you Miss Eclaite."

"So am I, Miss Fai."

"I'm assuming, you want to see the Imperfect Flugel, am I right?" The woman stood up to leave the reception desk. She gave us a signal to follow her.

"Yes, we want to see the woman," I began as I followed her. Then, I wondered, "Why did you call that woman an Imperfect Flugel?"

"Well of course, because she has an imperfect pair of wings," she gave me an explanation. "For the record to you, Miss Eclaite. I'm not discriminating against Imperfect Flugels. I accept and treat them just like the Flugels in general."

"You sounded suspicious after giving me such an explanation," I commented.

"Oh!" She made a sound with shock. "What makes you think like that?"

"Because you suddenly try to convince me that you had good thoughts to the Imperfect Flugels. But anyway, since you didn't mention the woman by name, that means she's not yet regained her consciousness?"

"I never discovered that," said Fai who shake her head. "I never meant badly. And that's right, the woman hasn't woken up yet. But take it easy, she's fine. Her condition improved after her fever dropped. I'm sure she hasn't woken up yet because she's exhausted."

I nodded and a moment later, we reached the room, where the woman was sleeping. Then, Fai left the room to give us some private time.

"What are we going to do, big sis?" asked Kimi, who moved her fox ears awkwardly.

"Nothing?"

"Nothing?" Chloe mimicked with a voice colored by anxiety. The little girl who had just touched the woman's forehead also put on a worried expression.

"Yes, nothing. Miss Fai said she was asleep due to exhaustion. Therefore we have no other choice but to wait for her to wake up on her own."

Hearing my explanation, the two little girls exchanged gazes containing worries.

I don't know why they behave like that. And yes, I don't want them to proceed to feel worried. I wanted to calm their hearts down so I said, "How about you guys buy food for her? I'm sure she will starve when she wakes up. So, let greet her with delicious foods."

"That's a good idea!" Kimi exclaimed.

Chloe who was beside her made a few nods to support my sister's remarks.

"We'll buy some delicious food!" Once again Kimi exclaimed. "Let's go Chloe, Alan."

"Sure!" Chloe replied.

On the other hand, Alan gives them a thumb-up.

I'm glad they're excited but, "I need to warn you, you can't buy random food for her. Sick people have limited choices of foods that they can eat. So, ask Miss Fai for advice before you buy anything."

"Sure!"

With Kimi's word as a signal, the kids left us. Not long after that and for some reason, Ruciel also walked away.

"Where are you going, Ruciel?"

"Anywhere as long as I don't see your face," she replied with annoyance then disappeared.

She really...

"Haa..."

I sighed and relaxed my fists, which also discard the complexity in my heart. 

I just hope that she will turn into an obedient and adorable girl as soon as possible.

Now, alone in this room, I can only observe the woman. I finished by looking at unattractive things in this room so I decided to look at the interesting thing, which is her face.

She is beautiful.

A stunning face carved by the angel, long eyelashes, short pink hair that looks fluffy, sensual red lips that seduced me, and more importantly, big b*obs, bigger than mine.

I would have fallen in love with her if, I hadn't met Ruciel.

I continued to observe her peaceful, sleeping face for some time before finally, I saw her showing signs that she was about to wake up.

And yes, the woman opened her eyes. She got up to sit in bed.

She became alert as soon as she realized my presence. She gave me a look of uneasiness before then moving her head to look around the room.

"Are you okay?" I asked and got no response.

I have to wait for her to be satisfied with her observations before I get... 

"Where is this?"

A question from her. Normally, I don't have an issue waiting for someone to answer. But, I don't know why I became a little annoyed about it.

"Miss, it was extremely disrespectful when you didn't answer my question and instead asked back. You have to show courtesy if you want to get a good impression of the person you just met. More than that, look into my eyes as you speak!"

That words just came out of my mouth naturally. To be honest, I want to answer her question. However, for some reason, when I saw her, I wanted to bully her.

"Hii~ I'm fine, I'm so healthy!" She replied with panic and a slightly exaggerated reaction. With fear and watery eyes, she asked. "...please good-hearted young lady, can you tell me where this is?"

"You're at the Soan village clinic," I told her. "You need to know, I saved you. That means you have a debt to me. So, don't expect you to get away from me before you pay your debt."

The tears in the woman's eyes grew bigger as she asked, "How much debt do I have?"

"Fifty large gold coins."

"Fifty large gold coins? How much is that in Magic Stones?"

Ah… that's true, the Flugels do not know the currency in the form of coins. They only understood Magic Stones and monster parts as the currency. 

One Magic Stones from Tear Antelope can pay for two rooms at the inn for one night plus breakfast and dinner.

In Rishtonbell, that was equal to seventy bronze coins. 

One large gold coin was equivalent to ten gold coins.

One gold coin was equivalent to a hundred silver coins.

One silver coin was equivalent to a hundred bronze coins.

So, fifty large gold coins equal to...

... ...

...

"Seven thousand a hundred and fifty Magic Stones from Tear Antelope," I gave the woman an answer.

She got the answer she wanted but she become silent and froze.. Ugh! This woman, she really set me off easily.
