Chapter 371: 16 Year Old Inglis and The Meaning of Matchmaking (23)

The following days were filled with the laborious task of civil engineering. Inglis was tasked with reconstructing the portion of the defensive walls that had been utterly demolished. Assisted by Rafinha, Ada, and members of the chivalric order, the work was far from lonely. For Inglis, it even served as an adequate substitute for her training.

The materials provided by Jeldegrva, the Duke of War, were superior to ordinary stone. As a result, the new defense wall was more robust than ever before. Even Rafinha couldn't help but smile at the outcome.

However, Rafinha harbored mixed feelings about Jeldegrva, primarily due to the Highlander's declaration that he would return to take Inglis as his wife. Her concern was overshadowed by her worry about Eris' injuries.

After spending time recuperating at Ymir's castle, Eris' body exhibited remarkable healing. From multiple broken bones to moving about as usual, her recovery was swift.

Yet, one significant issue persisted.

Lets do this again, Miss Eris.

Yes!

Within Ymir castle's training grounds, Inglis and Eris stood hand in hand.

A golden radiance emanated from their clasped hands, gradually enveloping Eris' body. Normally, the light would intensify to a blinding brightness, and Eris' form would morph into a pair of swords. But now, things were far from normal.

As the glow expanded, it simply faded away and vanished.

Soit's still the same.

The light keeps disappearing!

You're right. This isn't good

As Inglis mulled over these thoughts with a complex expression, Eris lifted her up.

I'm not exactly copying you, but as someone who will fight beside you, I realize I must become stronger as well. This notion never crossed my mind since I became a Hyrule Menace. Until now, all I did was tremble in fear, praying a Prisma wouldn't appear. My lack of strength has been revealed, and that alone makes our recent match fruitful. Plus, we learned that even the mightiest Highlander is not entirely out of reach

Miss Eris

What is it?

Do you have a fondness for children?

?!

No, I just noticed that you naturally embraced me.

I-, I seeyou're right. You're so adorable, my arms just acted on their own

Eris' cheeks turned pink, possibly feeling a bit shy. Had she always longed to hug Inglis but never found the words to express it?

You can hug me too! I'll be glad to help cheer you up.

Rafinha offered, looking up at Eris with arms outstretched. Her smile and gesture were utterly endearing.

I want to hug Rani too!

Inglis leaped from Eris' arms to embrace Rafinha.
