Chapter 63 Lower Tension

"Oh, you woke up Erwin-kun? good grief it's not a severe injury, here, eat this before it gets cold"

"Elis-nee... thank you, but, can I ask something?"

"Hm? what is it?"

Elis-nee walks closer to us and puts down the tray she brought on the table and stands next to Yuika-chan.

"I'm sorry, but what happened to me? and my head feels a bit hurt for some reason"

"Hm... how do I put it, so these two, Yuika-chan and Aura-chan, they said that they did something to you, I'm not sure what they did, but when I have a little chat with Ilya, Yuika-chan just run to us while crying and saying that you are in trouble, we were so shocked and quickly run to the gazebo following Yuika-chan from behind to see what's actually happening, well, we must thank your uncle for helping us to carry you here, we were so lucky he was there"

"Uncle Alto?"

"Yeah, he was so confused when he saw us running in a hurry, but then when Ilya says Erwin he just followed us without saying anything after that"

Ah, I see... I must thank uncle Alto later, he's still a reliable and kind uncle as always, I think I have to thank him properly in person, I will do it later once my head feels better.

I take the porridge Elis-nee brought before from the table, it feels warm and smell so nice, it almost makes me drool just from the smell, I start to take a scoop of it and blow to cool it down a bit before I put it inside my mouth, I look at Yuika-chan and Aura is still looking down with a gloomy expression, I don't really remember what happened to me, but I think I should say something to them.

*nom...

"Hmm... this porridge is so good"

"Really? I made it for you, I'm glad it's into your liking"

I look again at those two, and they still look gloomy, I want to show them that I'm fine already and they can stop worrying about it, I mean, it's just a mere headache I have for now, and I believe it's been healed too.

"[ Sigh.... ] Yuika-cha...Yuika, Aura, I don't really know what happened, but please cheer up, look here, I'm fine, right? there's nothing for you to be worried about"

I puff my chest and pat it, I don't know how this would work, but at least I can show them that I'm really fine now, there's nothing to worry about, and if they are still gloomy like this, I wouldn't be able to enjoy this delicious porridge.

"I-I'm... sorry...."

I'm just about to eat another spoon of the porridge and heard Yuika said something, it's the first time I actually see her be so gloomy like this, he's usually a shy girl but sometimes she turned into an enthusiastic girl sometimes, but then she turned back to being a shy girl, she's one kind of interesting girl and I never tired of playing with her.

"It's fine Yuika, I'm not even mad, all I can remember was you two fighting over something and you two just pulled my hands, well, I don't remember anything after that though"

"Wait, what did they do to you again Erwin-kun?"

Elis-nee is suddenly barging into the conversation, her face looks shocked when I said that Yuika and Aura are fighting over something and making me a tug of war and ended up making me fainted and doesn't remember anything at all, is it what they called a memory lost? is it what that God guy mentioned before?

"Well, Yuika and Aura started to arguing on something after Elis-nee and Ilya-nee left, I was eating the cookies if I remember correctly, before Yuika starting to walk to me and pulled my hand"

I see Elis-nee turn a glare towards Yuika, I don't know what kind of expression she made, but Yuika looks down after that and her face turned so red, the same goes for Aura when Elis-nee slowly looks at Aura who's remain silent all time.

"You girls really need to be punished for this, you have to apologize properly"

"Y-yes...."

"Yes... Elis-nee..."

Isn't Elis-nee went too far? it's not like I got any severe injuries or something, I still able to get up and eat my porridge perfectly, so it's really not a big deal for me.

"Elis-nee, I'm fine, you don't need to go too far to them, it's fine"

"But...."

"Well, they just need to properly apologize, right? then that's enough for me"

"Well... if you say so"

Elis-nee look at Yuika and Aura, she just waits for them to speak and apologize to me properly, I know the situation is still awkward.

"Yuika, Aura, come sit closer to me"

"Y-yes...."

Both of them just answer at the same time and move from their seats and sit next to me, they still look so gloomy and sad, so I decided to help them make up first.

"Alright, give me your hand"

They might look confused from my request but they just give me their hand, I reach out their hands and shake their hands together.

"Now let's lot fight with each other and befriend"

Yuika and Aura just nod their head and wipe off their tear that seems to almost come down from their eyelids.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you..."

"M-me too... I-I'm sorry for saying rude things..."

The tension between these two seems to be cooled down and they finally able to smile again, even only a bit.

"Alright, it's fine now, right, Elis-nee?"

"Well, I guess so"

"Yuika, Aura, come closer to me"

Yuika and Aura looks confused and just move closer to me, they're right beside me now, and after that, I hug them to celebrate their new bound, Aura got another friend that's on the same age as her, and it goes the same to Yuika, they are my precious friends now, I feel like their face feel a bit warmer and getting warmer, wait, isn't it a bad thing?

"Elis-nee, they caught a cold, please help them"

I was panic and quickly asked Elis-nee for help, it's bad if they caught a cold because of me actually sick and transmit it to them, but the reaction Elis-nee gave me is just a laugh while she's walking away and exit the room.
