In the end, Shido ordered Clentine sothing for him first leaving him, Rumia and Tuare together in the room. Although the room was not that big, it wasn't small either. Rumia and Tuare was sitting on the corner of the bed while talking about sothing. Tuare had now cald down with Rumia's help.
"Oh right, we haven't told you our na yet." Rumia then thought that she haven't told Tuare her na yet. "My na is Rumia Tingel, and the guy that saved you was Acheval Dreissen, Tuare-san." Rumia decided to introduce Shido to Tuare with his alias na.
"Acheval... Dreissen-san..." Hearing their nas Tuare nodded her but Shido's na was subconsciously imprinted on her mind. She would not forget this na.
"What are you two talking about?" Shido asked, entering the room again without knocking. He had gone out to talk with Clentine about her next task so he had just ca back. Judging from the expression of Tuare, he could see that her expression beca normal now but sohow, when he saw her looking at him, she would blush and steal glances at him.
Shido wasn't dumb and knew that this girl might have started to fall for him. It may sound cliche but due to the situation, Tuare might be on impulse that she started developing feeling for him. Though he didn't really mind, they would leave this world after all so Shido was having a conflict on his head what to do.
He shook his head and decided to let nature take course by itself. He then walk at the two and talk with them.
"Here, eat it while it's hot." Shido said while a bowl of warm gruel appeared on his hand.
Rumia wasn't surprised by this since she knew his inventory but it was different with Tuare since it was the first ti she saw things appearing suddenly. But she couldn't help but gulp when she slled the aroma of the gruel.
It might just be a gruel but it looked especial sohow, that's what she thought at this mont.
"N-No, I couldn't possibly bother you with tha-" Tuare uttered by she still stamred. It seed that it would take a while for her to talk normally again.
"Sigh, Tuare, I had saved you from the eight fingers, so please, let take care of you until the end, okay?" Shido let out a sigh since this girl is too humble but she look at her aquamarine eyes deeply and said.
"...I." Tuare's face beca feverish when Shido's eyes stared at her, but it didn't make her uncomfortable, instead she like it but she was feeling shy. However, hearing the determination on his words, Tuare couldn't help but think sothing '...I-Is he proposing to ?'
Tuare's mind beca clouded with that thought before she snap back feeling that she was too shaless. But her mind beca clear when she saw that Shido was looking at her with all seriousness and a little helplessness. Tuare could also see Rumia smiling at her on her side while nodding at her.
Rumia knew the horrible experience of this girl and she thought that if it was Shido, then he could really make her happy. She didn't really mind that since Rumia could see that Shido would be bound having more than one girl by his side. But then, she thought, as long at she was on his heart then she was already okay with it. After all she couldn't be selfish and claim all his heart by herself. Then Rumia's mind wandered to sowhere else 'It would be great if he would also take Sistine so we could beco real sister, right?'
Shido and Tuare wasn't aware at what was this girl was currently thinking. They only focused on each other. In the end, Tuare received the bowl of gruel from Shido and slowly took a bite of it.
When she took her first bite, sohow, she felt that all the suffering she experienced was being washed over by a warm feeling. Tears started to well up from her eyes and started to fall down.
"...It's warm." She said while sobbing but she continued to eat without stopping.
"I see..." Shido smiled and patted her head which only made Tuare sob harder causing Shido to sigh, if possible, he wanted to cook sothing more especial but when he had gotten to borrow the kitchen after persuading the owner of the inn, he could only see simple ingredients left as most of the ingredients was used earlier during dinner.
Tuare finished the gruel and felt embarrassed by the emotion that she had shown but Shido didn't mind at all. Rumia even hugged her when she was sobbing. It was already late at night and most people are already slept and they too would sleep too.
Shido told them that he would sleep on the floor since there were only 2 bed in the room and all other room are book already so he couldn't get another room. But Tuare didn't let him sleep on the floor, she had already troubled him so much after all, she thought. She then said that she would be the one sleeping on the floor since she was used sleeping on wood back on their village, but Rumia and Shido didn't allow her.
In the end, Rumia and Tuare cuddled together on the bed to sleep. Although the bed was small, it can still fit two person if they didn't move around, so Rumia took her to the bed.
Seeing two beautiful angels, snuggling to each other while having a bright smile on their face sohow made Shido's heart warm. They are just too cute, right?
Shido watched them for a while then he also lay on his bed and thought to prepare for tomorrow. Earlier, he had gone to the adventurer's guild with Clentine to report what happened, after all, Rumia was there when she escorted the female slaves so the guild knew that both of them were in a party. It caused the guild commotion and even alerted the palace.
However, Shido told them to talk about this matter tomorrow since it was too late to have a follow up raid since the leader of the slave trade might have already slip away. The adventurer's nodded their head and thought that it was reasonable, they still send so people to secure the place. However, they didn't know that Shido had already placed a slave crest on Coco Doll, making him his loyal servant.
