After saying all of those, Fenrir left the room to grab so fresh air. Well, I could only guess that Fenrir gave rleen and so alone ti together. Since we had room for ourselves, we could do whatever we wanted before the feast could start.
The only people that could open that door were the owners of this house, which were Fisher and his family. Those people would knock if they noticed the locked doors, even though they owned the house.
But as I gazed behind, rleen sat from her bed and stared into my eyes. Unfortunately, rleen could still not talk after what liodas did to her.
It was difficult for the two of us to communicate with each other, considering our barriers to communication. But before I could say anything else, rleen grabbed my hand and flashed a smile. She could not have heard our conversation, since rleen couldn't hear anything for now. But rleen did that as if she was telling there was nothing for us to worry about.
I patted her head and mumbled in front of her, "You're a real kind girl, aren't you, rleen."
Even though rleen did not hear my words, she let my hand caress her hair. After a few minutes of rubbing my palm on her head, rleen pointed her finger at the door. When I turned around, Fenrir t my eyes, staring back at her figure. She had her arms crossed, waiting for to look in her direction.
"Knowing rleen, she would forgive liodas for her hearing loss. As long as you see the good in people, rleen would act the sa. You two are like two peas in a pond," Fenrir exclaid, as she marched herself towards us.
Fenrir sat on the bed beside rleen and and continued, "I am not usually like this in front of people. But I changed because of you two. Slightly, not entirely."
rleen, who was beside us, pouted at Fenrir and . She also crossed her arms and glared simultaneously in our direction.
"Let's continue this conversation later. I hope. But for now, let's wait until rleen regains her hearing condition," I said, while offering a red potion for rleen.
The crimson potion I brewed had all the ingredients it needed to heal most conditions. I had not tried if this dicine would work with hearing impairnts. But it was never too late to try. And even if it failed, these herbs would enhance the immune system of rleen.
As soon as rleen sipped the container empty, a window appeared at my top right view. My system only did that if I received important news from our party.
Upon opening the ssage, I found out that rleen's condition would heal faster than we had expected. Instead of waiting for a day, rleen's hearing impairnt would revert to normal after a few hours. We could only hope that rleen would attend the feast with two functional ears.
The only thing we could do right now was to wait and explore the village before nightfall. We could also rest on these beds and wait until Fisher and his family would call for us.
"Which do you prefer? Sleeping inside this room or exploring the village?" I asked Fenrir and rleen.
I used hand gestures to convey the question I wanted to ask, since she couldn't hear anything from .
After a few monts, Fenrir wanted to explore this village and look for sothing new. However, I could tell that Fenrir wanted to play with those children outside their houses. Since she already had spent ti with a set of kids, Fenrir wanted them so more.
rleen had an original plan for today. Instead of exploring unknown places, rleen suggested we should stay inside this building until food could arrive. rleen non-verbally portrayed that she disliked looking at everyone without hearing their words. I could hunch that rleen felt unsatisfied looking at conversing with another person.
"I guess I have to stay inside this room, Fenrir. Sorry," I mumbled, while lowering my head.
Fenrir shook her head and answered, "It's fine. It's not like I need so company."
"Just be back before evening, Fenrir. You don't want to be late for the feast these people prepared now, do you?"
"Not a chance, Arthur."
After our exchange, Fenrir left the room and shut the door. She even locked the gates, knowing what rleen and I could do alone.
But the two of us already knew that we did not have any experience with those things. We would love to work that out together, but not right now. I wanted to hear rleen's voice if we were to please each other.
As soon as Fenrir left the vicinity, rleen dragged to my bed and pushed towards it. I fell on my back, startled by the sudden force rleen did. Within a few seconds, rleen ca afterwards and sank her body beneath . Despite being at the sa age as mine, rleen weighed nothing but a feather.
rleen stayed resting on my chest with her hands wrapped around my body. She closed her eyes and yawned a silent yawn. That girl made sure she wouldn't say anything weird while she had an impairnt in her ears.
After a few seconds, rleen fell asleep, with her limbs wrapping around my body. It was as if telling everyone that I was her property, without having an audience inside the room.
As ti passed by, I eventually closed my eyes and lived inside my dream world. It was like what Fenrir had ntioned earlier. Our team was free to roam around wherever we wanted to go. We had the freedom to choose our paths.
And the only thing that mattered most was our objective. Our party sched on getting the sword to create a better place in this world. It may sound cheesy, but that was my goal from the very beginning.
It took rleen a few hours before waking up from her slumber. I was also already awake before her, which made everything easier for the feast.
I turned towards rleen and asked if she still couldn't hear my voice. I tried surprising her with a blaring scream, but it did not have any effect on her system. It only showed that rleen still had problems with her eardrums, even after resting for a few hours.
"No good? Well, it can't be helped. We still have a few hours before your sense of hearing returns to you," I exclaid to myself, even when rleen couldn't hear .
But that girl already knew the idea of what I had said, since we had stayed long enough to guess our explanations. Within a few monts, the door finally received a knock, with a voice following afterwards.
"Arthur, are you here?"
It was Fisher behind that door all this ti. And here I thought it was soone else I had not known inside this house.
I slid the door open and greeted Fisher. That guy had various colours painted on his sleeves. Fisher's little child created these sars on his clothes. But instead of punishing these children, Fisher comnded the two for their artistic layouts.
"Yes! Of course, I'm here," I answered. "Please co in, Fisher! This is your house, anyway."
"No. It's fine, Arthur.. Where is everyone? The girl with black clothing?" Fisher asked. "I believe her na is Fenrir. liodas is in the other house, talking with so children and their guardian."
He was describing Fenrir as the other girl who went missing inside this room. liodas, who I left inside the other room, found so way to spend so ti. Instead of burning smoke, liodas might have had fun playing with those kids inside the other room.
"Yes. Her na is Fenrir. And she just went for a long walk in the woods to get so fresh air," I replied. "I don't know what happened to liodas. The last ti I saw him, I left him inside that room."
That soldier did not mind liodas' attitude toward those children. He knew liodas changed for the best after spending so quality ti alone with the kids.
And when Fisher heard my explanations, he told that the feast he prepared for us would be around the campfire. He ant we would hold the banquet outside this structure instead of doing it inside. Fisher added he wanted to invite all the villagers inside this town.
Since these people had not used this building for a while, so materials would fall from the ceiling. That debris would leave a mark on our heads if those crashed above us. It was the reason Fisher relocated to that place in the open.
When we finished talking with each other, Fisher guided the two of us outside. As soon as we stepped foot outside, an enormous table filled with various plates greeted our eyes. A whole new scent of mixed vegetables and cooked at entered my nostrils, luring closer to the buffet-like dinner.
