I'm not that kind of orc

This tongue-in-cheek accent, as well as a limp figure like a weeping willow in the wind that will fall if you don't support it - no matter how you look at it, this idiot in front of him looks drunk.

But it was less than 10 minutes ago that Princess Alisa pushed that glass of wine to her.

"Eh? Feilan... How much have you drank?" Princess Alisa stretched her neck to look at the cup in Feilan's hand, "Huh? You haven't finished half the cup..."

"Hey!" I couldn't help expressing emotion, "There are still people in the world who get drunk after just a few sips?"

And after drinking it for a few minutes, I can get on my head. I can be regarded as a long-sighted person.

"Huh? Bastard orc...who is drunk?" Feilan reacted to my words, she tried her best to lift her heavy head from the princess's shoulders, and stared at me with misty eyes, "I can still ……for drink……"

As she spoke, she was about to put the cup in her hand to her mouth.

"Student Feilan, you can't drink any more!" Princess Alisa grabbed her wrist in a panic to stop her.

"Woo..." Feilan seemed to be losing consciousness, and the hand holding the wine was quickly pressed down.

"Yeah, what's the point of drinking with your little drink?" I added.

As a result, Feilan suddenly got excited when she heard my voice, and suddenly raised her hand holding the wine glass: "I said... I can still drink! How can... How can I be looked down upon by the orcs! "

"No, no, I really can't drink it! Hey, why is this strength so great?" The princess could hardly hold her wrist.

"Let go! I must...drink more...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Student Bullock!" Princess Alyssa, who was tossed in a hurry, cast a helpless and reproachful look at me.

I quickly looked up at the sky, trying to get away with it.

"Ah, really!" Princess Alyssa, tired of wrestling with Feilan, sighed helplessly.

Feilan kept fussing in her arms for a while, and finally calmed down like a doll that has been winded to its end.She leaned in Princess Alisa's arms, leaned her head on her shoulder, squinted her eyes, her chest rose and fell slowly, and took a long breath as if she was asleep.

Princess Alisa hugged her, tried to support her body weight, and just in time took over the cup that was about to spill from her hand, and then let out a sigh of relief.

In the end, the princess supported Feilan, adjusted her sitting posture and position, and then gently supported her to let her lie on her side, resting on her lap.

"Really... I didn't expect that Feilan would not be able to drink alcohol at all." Princess Alyssa stretched out her hand to help Feilan brush away the few strands of hair sticking to her face.

As a result, Feilan's eyelids moved slightly, she shook her head slightly, pressed her face closer, and murmured in a daze, "Sister..."

"Huh?" Princess Alisa blinked in surprise.

I didn't miss this voice.

Sure enough, this guy is a sister-in-law... I can make fun of her about it later.

Princess Alisa immediately smiled, and gently brushed Feilan's hair with her fingers to straighten her long hair.

This kind-hearted princess really likes to take care of others...

Looking at this scene, it's really hard to imagine that the two of them had confronted each other about Angelica two months ago.

"Now, each of us has to take care of one." Princess Alisa raised her face and smiled bitterly at me.

"Yes." I turned to look at Angelica beside me.

This girl was leaning on my arm peacefully, breathing evenly, obviously she was in a very difficult sleeping position, yet she seemed to be sleeping quite deeply.

Princess Alisa followed my line of sight, stared at Angelica for a while, and suddenly said out of nowhere: "It feels like Angelika... is like a cat."

"cat?"

"Has Mr. Bullock ever seen a cat?"

"I've seen... I've seen pets raised in caravans at human traveling merchants before, small animals with pointed ears and long tails, right?" I answered honestly, frowning, "Why do you say that? When comparing this girl, shouldn't it be like a wolf?"

After all, she is a werewolf. After transforming, this girl will even get closer to a wolf in her habits.

In the end, Princess Alisa shook her head: "I mean, she has a cat-like temperament. Do you know Bullock? Cats are naturally vigilant animals. Although there are some animals that are deliberately domesticated by humans. There are very few domestic cats that will get close to anyone, but most cats are naturally very shy and will run away if strangers approach them, and they... will only be close to people they trust."

I recalled my impressions of this animal.

Indeed, I remember it as a very insecure animal, it would get up abruptly at the slightest sign of disturbance, and try to hide itself when it sensed that a stranger or other animals were getting too close.

Even though the merchants say that it is a carnivore that eats mice, it is more timid and cautious than animals that eat grass.

But paradoxically, they will feel safe in some very inexplicable places, sometimes they will be in an exposed corner, on a piece of cloth exposed to the sun, or on the lap of their owner fell asleep.I heard those businessmen say that these animals have a completely different attitude towards people they are close to, and even occasionally take the initiative to rub against people they like, which is said to be to leave their own scent to declare their sovereignty.

This girl... I really felt that way when I first met her.

Keep a distance from everyone, and turn around and run away if you get too close.

But once you get acquainted, you will get very close.

They are all the same, and they can only gain a sense of security from those they trust.

The Lone Wolf and the Stars (6)

"If you want to use a wolf as a metaphor, I think Feilan is more similar." Princess Alyssa said again suddenly.

"Ah?" I couldn't help frowning when I heard this, raised my hand and pointed at Feilan who was sleeping on her lap, and said mercilessly, "It's too flattering, Your Highness, I think it looks like a wild woman." A dog would be more suitable."

Feilan suddenly shivered, as if she was bitten by a dog in her dream.

"Classmate Bullock..." Princess Alisa smiled wryly.

"Your Highness, why do you associate this idiot with a wolf? To be honest, I think this comparison is a bit disrespectful to wolves." I shook my head.

Well, in fact, even if you use wild dogs as a metaphor, it's a bit disrespectful to wild dogs.

"How should I put it? I always feel that classmate Feilan is as fierce as a wolf... and also has a strange sense of distance like a wild animal. This sense of distance is a little different from Angelica's feeling of being a shy cat. "Princess Alisa explained to me slowly.

This is indeed true, this girl has always had a vigor that will explode when touched and bite, making people subconsciously want to stay away from her.When dealing with people she dislikes or doesn't trust, Angelica will dodge like a cat without a trace, and she will grin her teeth like a wolf to make a deterrent.

"Also, like a wolf, she feels inexplicably lonely." Princess Alisa added at this time.

"Huh? Lonely?" I didn't react for a while.

"Yeah, actually, from what I've seen, Feilan doesn't have any friends in the college..."

I thought back to the so-called attendants who were attached to her before and had disappeared long ago, and nodded in agreement: "Well, that's true."

With this girl's distasteful personality, she may be able to make a few acquaintances, but it may be quite difficult to make true friends.

"Right, so it's very similar, right?"

"No... this... I'm actually quite curious about one thing. Why do you humans and elves like to use animals like wolves as the image of 'lonely'? In the eyes of us orcs, wolves are not a lonely animal. .” I scratched my head.

I have always had this question when I followed the common language commonly used by elves and humans.

"Why do you say that?" Princess Alisa asked.

"Wolgs in the Wild of Beasts, their ancestors are actually prairie wolves that have been impregnated by the power of the demon king, so their habits are quite similar to ordinary wolves. According to our observations, wolves are a group of animals. They They are used to acting in groups, living together and hunting together. Of course, there are not many wolves that leave large groups, but most of them still live with their spouses or companions in pairs. Those wolves that really live alone are actually rare. They either The survival rate of these lone wolves is actually very low because they offended the alpha wolf or lost in the competition and were expelled by the whole group, or because they lost all their companions due to wolf plague or natural enemies. In contrast, there are many animals that should be more in line with the image of loneliness, such as leopards, bears, eagles, etc. Most of these animals act alone, and even divide their territories to prevent the same kind from near."

"Yes, that's true. Few people feel that these solitary animals are lonely, but they think that wolves that live in packs are lonely." Princess Alisa said with a smile.

"Yeah, isn't that contradictory?"

"However, Classmate Bullock, I think... If a person is only alone and deliberately maintains a sense of distance from others, it cannot be called truly lonely. The truly lonely should be those who wish to be close to others in their hearts, Those who get understood but don’t get it are right.”

I was startled.

"Just like what you said just now, Brock, wolves are animals that live in groups. It is difficult to survive alone. They long for companions and are afraid of loneliness, so they will show their loneliness when they are alone." Ai Princess Lisa said quietly.

True loneliness... I chewed what she meant.

Those solitary animals are not lonely, because they are born knowing how to survive alone, and they don’t need companions from the beginning. For them, there is no concept of loneliness. To them, walking alone is just a habit and normality.

Wolves are different. They are used to cooperating to hunt prey that is far stronger than any one of them alone. They gather together in the wind and snow to keep warm. They need mutual support to survive.Once alone, they will live in a mess, and may even die quickly in the wilderness.

Because she is weak, longs for companionship, and is afraid of being alone, that's why she appears lonely.

Fear of loneliness, but don't want to be seen through, so he can only arm his weak self with a fierce appearance.

I stared blankly at Feilan who was sleeping on Princess Alyssa's lap for a long time, and then slowly said: "I thought you, Your Highness... don't like her very much."

"You mean classmate Feilan?" The princess thought for a while, then nodded, "Yes, I don't deny it, I really hated her in the past. She did a lot of excessive things in the past, not just to Angelie. Student Ka... It should be said that there are very few people who can make me hate me so much, even if it was just once."

"Then now?"

"Now... I can't really say that I have a lot of affection, but at least I don't hate her so much. Because of Feilan's classmate, she has changed somewhat after that incident." The princess lowered her eyes and looked at Feilan's face. Turning his face, he looked towards me again, "This is all thanks to you, Brock."

"I?"

"You have changed a lot of people here, classmate Angelika, classmate Feilan, Her Highness Arsena, and...me too."

"I've always just done what I think I should do." I shook my head slightly.

"That's enough." The princess smiled, and the orange fire light cast a warm tone on her face.

At this moment, the banquet is coming to an end, and the elves, who are already too drunk to drink, have fallen together by the other fires, and the remaining ten or so people, including the captain of the guard and Miria, are still struggling. Surrounding a fire, they were playing some kind of drinking game, where a group of female elves were chattering and chattering.

In the past, it was really hard for me to imagine that I would have the opportunity to have a banquet with such a group of female elves.

"It should be soon." Princess Alyssa suddenly said softly, and she didn't know if she was talking to me or talking to herself.

"What?" I asked casually.

"Nothing." The princess smiled and shook her head, lowering her eyes.

I don't know if it's because I'm supercilious, but I feel that there seems to be a flash of fleeting sadness in her eyes.

There is no topic for the time being. Next, I raised my head and looked up at the starry sky in boredom. I vaguely remembered the method of identifying astrology that Igna taught me.

The astrology can show the season, and there are some specific stars that can guide people in the night. They are sprinkled in the night sky in groups, but they always keep a certain distance, and only show their existence with their glow.

Looking up at the starry sky at the end of summer in the elf forest is no different from what you see on the grasslands of the Wild of Giant Beasts.

Tonight, the stars still shine.

The Lone Wolf and the Stars (7)

In the morning of the next day, the deer cart led by the stag parked outside the camp. We packed up our respective luggage and prepared to go back to the college.

"I really miss you all, can you really not stay for a few more days, teacher?" The captain of the guard tightly held Miria's hand, and the extremely reluctance on his face made this sound uncomfortable. It's like polite words.

"You have asked this question four times this morning, Nia, I have already said, no! School will start in a few days, and I have a lot of business to deal with...Okay, let it go, you already You've been holding me for at least 10 minutes." Miriah replied blankly.

And at this time, I was standing a few steps away, dealing with a group of wolf-like female elf guards gathered in front of me-at this moment, these guys all had bright eyes, staring at me with hunger and thirst. looking at my body...

...Anjelica hiding behind.

"Woo, Brock..." Angelica hid behind me using me as a cover, looked at the guards who were staring at her hungrily, and tugged at the corner of my clothes timidly.
