"Wake up."

Yuni squatted down next to Theresa and gently poked the girl's cheek with her finger.

(Poke)
"Hey—wake up!"

(Poke, poke, poke)

"Stop sleeping! It's been days! They're gone! You should wake up—"

The girl favored by the gods poked at her for a long time, but the mixed-race girl who had fainted from excitement still did not wake up.

Theresa was lying on the ground, fast asleep and looking blissfully happy, curled up comfortably in a ball, showing no signs of waking up.

If she's just staying in bed, that's fine.

But Theresa has been sleeping ever since Herbert and the others left, and it's been more than a day now. If she doesn't wake up soon, Yunier will really start to worry.

"Hmm... Oh, I've got an idea!"

Seeing Teresa sleeping so peacefully, a wicked thought flashed through Yunier's mind.

"Still sleeping! If you're not getting up, don't blame me, hehe."

She leaned down and whispered in Theresa's ear, "Theresa! Don't sleep anymore!"

"If you keep sleeping, I'll tell everyone that you like him..."

Before she could finish speaking, the mixed-race girl, who was still immersed in a sweet dream, suddenly opened her eyes and sprang up from the ground.

whoosh-

Theresa shoved Yunier's mouth shut, pinned her to the ground, and gritted her teeth, saying, "You! Shut up!"

Didn't I tell you to stop talking?

You promised you wouldn't tell, didn't you?

"Ugh... Pfft!"

Yunier feigned a struggle, then winked at Theresa—she said nothing, but it was as if she had said everything.

Anxious.

Look, you're getting anxious again, aren't you?
The more agitated you are, the more accurate it proves that I'm right.

"you!"

This mocking look enraged Theresa.

"Yunier! I'm getting angry!"

"Hehe! Look at you, you're in such a hurry again... oh!"

In the chaos, it's unclear who started it, but the two girls ended up wrestling together.

The two of them pushed and shoved each other, pinching each other's cheeks and waists, their fight quite intense.

After a period of strenuous fighting, the two girls were defeated at the same time, collapsing helplessly to the ground, lying side by side panting heavily.

"Ha, ha... Fine, I'll let you off this time, but I won't let you off next time," Theresa muttered under her breath.

Halfway through the commotion, Teresa realized that there was no one else around and no one would hear her little secret.

So, my reaction just now was really a bit too much, and it has once again silently proven my ulterior motives.

However, since things have already escalated to this point, it's not appropriate to admit fault halfway through.

This idea is actually quite common.

Whether male or female, when arguing with others, there are often times when, halfway through the argument, one suddenly realizes that the problem lies with oneself.

At this point, few people have the courage to apologize on the spot. Most will try to change the subject and quietly change the concept of "a matter of principle" to "a matter of attitude".

The question shifted from "Did you play poorly this time?" to "Even if I missed my ultimate, wasn't your voice too loud?"

The statement shifted from "What happened just now must be your fault!" to "You're being so mean to me, you must not love me anymore!"

Regardless of gender or right or wrong, the main point is simply to be stubborn.

"Pfft, haha!"

After Theresa finished her awkward grumbling, Yunier teased with a grin, "Ha, ha... hahaha! You sound so real~ hahaha!"

Theresa rolled her eyes at her, pouted, and then couldn't help but laugh herself.

The two girls were bickering and fighting one second, and the next second they were laughing and joking together.

"that……"

After laughing for a while, Theresa hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to apologize to her friend, saying, "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now."

Although this matter can be let go, Yunier probably won't care too much.

But she still felt a little guilty if she didn't apologize.

"It's okay~"

Yunier accepted Theresa's apology with a smile, not taking the matter to heart at all. She waved her hand and said, "Okay, I was wrong too. I really shouldn't have kept teasing you about this. I was wrong!"

"I'm quitting this job, and I won't laugh at you anymore! I'll never mention that you like him again... Pfft!"

As Yunier said this, she couldn't help but laugh halfway through, which made Theresa pout and complain incessantly.

"Still laughing! You're still laughing! You haven't stopped at all!"

After a while of commotion, Theresa finally remembered the important matter and asked, "Where is Lord Herbert? Was he unhappy to see me faint?"

The girl felt terrible, thinking how useless she was for fainting in front of him.

Won't this make Lord Herbert feel like he's a useless burden?

I clearly wanted to be his help, and even if I can't do that now, I should at least not hold him back.

As a result, my performance was still just as embarrassing.

Ugh……

"Him? He doesn't know!"

"Um!!?"

The girl suddenly looked up, puzzled, at her best friend.

what happened?

He didn't know!

She herself had fainted; according to Yunier, she had been unconscious for a day and a night, and everyone else already knew about it.

But Lord Herbert didn't know?

Does that mean he doesn't care about me at all?

"..." The girl silently pursed her lips.

...Yes, there was no reason for him to care about me all this time.

She was just one of the lucky ones among the millions of unfortunate people saved by Lord Herbert, a girl with nothing special about her.

Being able to stay by his side is already the greatest happiness; I shouldn't ask for anything more.

The girl felt sorry for herself and understood the situation, but she still bit her lip with some resentment.

Not reconciled.

It's really frustrating!

"……call!"

After a moment, the grievances and heartache in Theresa's heart gradually disappeared, and her gaze turned firm.

"Keep going!"

I need to keep working hard so that Lord Herbert will take notice of me.

I will definitely let him see it.

He will definitely see me!

"...Hehe, just as I expected~"

Yuni, standing to the side, observed her micro-expressions, a strange look of approval flashing in her eyes.

He has a good temperament.

Although the goddess of winter possessed Yunier, she did not strip her of her will; in her daily life, Yunier was a normal, innocent girl.

But how many truly innocent and ignorant children are qualified to become those favored by the gods?

Naïve does not mean stupid.

A pure heart often means a sharper intuition.

Yunier was willing to become friends with Theresa partly because they were close in age and partly because they had similar personalities.

Two people who seem to have completely different personalities are actually the same type of people.

When they first met, Yunier could sense a kindred spirit in Theresa!

This seemingly delicate, shy, and timid girl is actually very brave and determined at heart.

All Teresa needs is more time to slowly transform herself.

Once she gets used to everything now and breaks free from the constraints of the past, she will eventually reveal her true nature.

Yunier looked at the girl, whose resolve had become even stronger after calming down, and smiled to herself. Suddenly, she asked, "Um... did you misunderstand something?"

"……Eh?"

Teresa's carefully prepared emotions were interrupted. She turned her head and saw Yuni winking at her with a playful expression.

"I don't know what you're thinking, but you're probably overthinking it!"

"Lord Herbert doesn't know you were unconscious, not because he doesn't care about you, but because he's been captured~"

Upon hearing what Yuniel said, Theresa felt a sudden sense of relief.

"Oh, I see. He was just taken away. I thought he didn't care about me... Hmm?"

Something seems off.

He was arrested, and...

Teresa's still-sleepy mind finally came to its senses, and she managed to make sense of the logic in the sentence—and then she was even more confused.

Theresa's eyes widened, her little head instantly filled with huge question marks.

Ah? ? ?
"Wait! What did you say? He's been arrested?"

Theresa didn't understand.

"With that terrifying dragon around, how could Lord Herbert have been captured by the chimera?"

Although the three-headed chimera was terrifying and she couldn't defeat it no matter how hard she tried, she wanted to escape several times.

However, compared to that terrifying behemoth that blots out the sky, it is simply incomparable!

Besides, didn't Lord Herbert already return by then?
What happened next?
"Who kidnapped him?! Who... wait! We have to go save him right now!"

Regardless of what exactly happened, the most important thing now is to rescue Lord Herbert!

She turned to rush out of the room, but Eunice grabbed her arm halfway—though she couldn't stop her.

"Hey, wait a minute! Let me finish!"

Yunier grabbed Theresa's arms with both hands and tried her best to pull her back, but she was easily dragged out of the room.

In terms of physical strength, she was no match for him at all.

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Yunier could only quickly say, "No, you're wrong again! It wasn't a chimera that captured him, it was that dragon!"

Hey.

Theresa paused, then turned around stiffly.

"That giant dragon?"

"Yes! It was that dragon. Not long after you fell unconscious, she came back and took Lord Herbert away!"

At that moment, they all saw Herbert tenderly kissing the dragon—the handsome white-haired knight, tilting his head back to kiss his powerful, scarlet, and ferocious mount.

It was like a scene from a myth or legend, reflected in reality.

At that moment, some people thought that the relationship between Herbert and the dragon was merely that of master and servant, but Theresa did not think so.

She instantly caught the tenderness and love in Herbert's eyes; their relationship must be more than just a simple one.

After figuring this out, Theresa realized what it really meant for Herbert to be captured by the dragon.

"Oh, I see... I see..."

Theresa was relieved to learn that Lord Herbert was safe and sound.

But at the same time, she felt even worse. A faint bitterness welled up in her throat—the bitterness a defeated dog swallows.

The child is suffering inside, but the baby doesn't say it.

Those two must be doing something fun right now, right?
Although she knew she wasn't qualified, she couldn't help but think about it, feeling a little envious, even a touch of jealousy.

Yuni noticed her friend's mood and knew she was feeling down. She abandoned her teasing and said softly, "If you're feeling down, you can tell me quietly. That might make you feel better."

She gently opened her arms, radiating a gentleness that drew attention from others, leaving Teresa blinking in a daze.

She never expected that her friend would suddenly transform into such a maternal figure.

what's the situation?
Theresa hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Um, I'm not feeling unwell, I just..."

I just feel a little unwilling.

She hesitated, but ultimately did not voice her resentment.

Although Yunier had seen through most of her own thoughts, there were still things she didn't want to say so soon.

She needs to work harder for a while before she'll be qualified to voice her ambitions.

“Yunier, I…”

Just as Teresa hesitated about how to explain, a gentle voice suddenly sounded behind her:

"What are you two talking about? Who's feeling down?"

!!!

At this moment, not only was Theresa frightened, but even Yunier, who was possessed by the goddess of ice, was startled.

"who!!?"

"who is it!!?"

They reacted instinctively, striking backwards—and were immediately pinned down.

The holy light on his body flashed and disappeared in an instant. Herbert ignored Yunier's instantaneous ice bomb and blocked Theresa's long leg that came flying like a tail whip with one hand.

"Uh! It's you..."

"Lord Herbert!"

Looking at the two whose expressions had already frozen, he couldn't help but tease them, "You two little devils, you've got quite the tempers, haha."

The two girls were now completely frozen in place.

There was only one thought in my mind—spicy pills!
Theresa was caught in the act of confronting the person in question while she was having her own little thoughts, and her mind went blank due to the overstimulation.

Yuniel, on the other hand, felt the awkwardness of being caught talking behind someone's back. Her fair toes were digging into the ground.

"..."

"I, we... sob."

Herbert looked at the two girls who had suddenly fallen silent and become quiet and ladylike, raised his hands and placed them on their heads, smiling as he ruffled their hair.

That's a really interesting reaction.

Sure enough, my impromptu idea to scare them was the right thing to do!
"Your personality is truly awful."

Nena couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Eavesdropping is one thing, but deliberately choosing this moment? You're such a villain!"

You are this one. (Gives thumbs up)
"No, what right do you have to talk to me like that?"

Herbert maintained his smile on the surface, appreciating the girls' reactions, while inwardly asking himself, "Are you any better?"

You're calling me a bad guy?
Bah!
What right do you, you monster, have to spout such nonsense here!

Nenasha responded just as confidently: "Heh, I never said I wasn't bad~ Besides, I'm an evil god! Isn't it natural for me to be bad? You're a paladin, for goodness' sake!"

“I am a paladin, that’s true, but I am also an ally of you, the evil god!” Herbert scoffed, then ignored the restless Miss Harmony.

This person only studied the fragments of the Heroic Spirit Pool for half a day, spending the rest of the time in a daze, watching himself and Valentina fight...

Now, this nitpicker is probably unhappy, right?
Oh dear, I'm in a hurry.

Besides, this isn't the first time you've been a spectator, is it really necessary?

"Hmm? You seem to be thinking about something impolite."

"It's just your imagination."

Of course, although he was complaining like this in his heart, Herbert didn't dare to say another word.

If you say that out loud, it'll be really hard to appease them.

What needs to be said must be said; not a single word can be omitted.

Never say anything you shouldn't say; not a single word should be uttered.

Some people just don't understand this, always thinking that making a joke is no big deal.

But that's a huge mistake!

There are things you can't say, not even jokes.

After all, countless people use jokes to express their true feelings.

All those who constantly utter disregard for others' feelings, such as "If it doesn't work out, let's get a divorce!" or "I'll dump you and find someone else!", may claim to have a "sharp tongue but a soft heart," but they are simply foul-mouthed.

There is absolutely no problem with treating the enemy in this way.

But when it comes to family members, there are serious problems.

Those who find happiness in ways that cause distress to their loved ones will most likely end up getting what they deserve and facing their tragic end.

The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unhappy.

……

"Um!!?"

After Herbert rubbed her head for a while, Theresa finally came to her senses.

It's Lord Herbert!

It really is Lord Herbert!

The girl excitedly tilted her head back, wanting to look into the other person's eyes, but quickly turned her head away, her eyes shyly darting away: "Lord Herbert, I, I..."

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"hehe."

Herbert smiled, noticing the unusual emotions in the girl's heart, and his eyes flickered slightly.

He removed his hands from their heads, helping Theresa to calm down, and asked with a smile, "Why are you so agitated? Are you having a bad time here?"

!!!

Theresa suddenly realized what was happening and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no! Everyone here is so friendly. They've been so kind to me! They've taken such good care of me!"

This is the truth.

It is no exaggeration to say that after arriving in Elda, Teresa experienced the warmest period of her life.

Everyone was very friendly, no one looked down on her, and everyone took good care of this little sister.

"Ah That's good."

Herbert smiled, nodded, and gently patted her shoulder, giving it a light squeeze as was his habit.

His original intention was to measure the girl's physical condition to see if she had lost weight or gained a little weight.

The girl was so thin before that Herbert would often test her by inflating her like a balloon.

As a result, this action caused the already excited girl's body to go limp, and she almost fell directly into Herbert's arms.

“Hmm!!?”

Fortunately, Yuni was quick-witted and grabbed Theresa's clothes from behind, preventing her from unfortunately falling into Herbert's arms... Hmm?

Yunier suddenly paused, a thought flashing through her mind.

Did I get myself into trouble this time?

Could it be that Theresa did this on purpose? Was this something she deliberately arranged?

Wow!
Scheming!

I never would have guessed you were such a scheming woman!

Yunier sighed inwardly, loosened her grip, and even pushed gently as if that wasn't enough.

He shoved Theresa, who was just about to regain her footing, into Herbert's arms.

“Hmm!!?”

"Oh?"

Herbert: ?

Theresa: ? ? ?

The mixed-race girl froze in the knight's arms, turning her head to stare intently at her teammate who was giving her a knowing look.

What are you doing
I ask you!
What did you just do?!?
“Lord Herbert, I didn’t mean to offend you, I’ll get up right away…”

Just as Theresa was hurriedly preparing to back away, her waist was suddenly gently embraced and pulled back.

"It's okay, it's nothing."

Herbert put his arm around the girl's waist, gently patted her back, and said tenderly, "I'm late. I'm sorry to have troubled you all these past few days."

Although Herbert didn't know exactly what she had gone through, it was perfectly acceptable for her to say that.

"I think you could praise her a little more."

While Theresa was in a state of panic, the mushroom merchant Miser's voice rang out from the side: "If she hadn't pinpointed the location of that chimera earlier, your little village would have been half destroyed."

If it weren't for Theresa sensing the three-headed chimera's presence by temperature earlier, it might have actually gotten close to the territory of Eldar.

When that time comes, death and injury will be unavoidable.

"Theresa, thank you. Thanks to you, everyone was protected."

After saying that, Herbert smiled and released Theresa, then turned to Misser and nodded with a smile, "Haha, this is all thanks to her! Besides, this isn't some small village."

“Isn’t this a village?” Miser glanced at Herbert, gesturing for him to open his eyes and look around.

“Come on, you’re already late. Sophia and the others have been waiting for you for a long time.” Misser turned and led the way.

“Yes, I also have something to say to them.” Herbert nodded to the two girls and slowly followed them.

"..."

Shortly after Herbert left, Eunil looked at Theresa, who was still standing there, shrank back, and tentatively asked, "Um... are you still feeling unwell?"

She realized that she had done something wrong despite her good intentions.

"..."

Theresa paused for a moment, then gently shook her head and whispered, "I don't feel bad anymore."

She raised her hand and touched the top of her head, where the warmth of her hand still lingered.

"I will never feel uncomfortable again."

With this warmth, she can continue to persevere.

that's enough.

also……

"Yunier! What did you just do?"

"Oh dear! It was an accident, all an accident—"

The Third Vinaya School.
