Chapter 55 I Want to Keep This Bound

"Here, Aura-chan"


"T-thank you .."


I hand over her share and we sit near the water fountain, there was a bench placed near the water fountain for people to sit and enjoy the crowd and the atmosphere on the heart of the city, but this is too weird, how are they able to enjoy it after those terrifying aura got leaked around here? it's strange when I look around I feel like people around aren't affected by it, they only look at the downed adventurer with a confused eye, the moment when that big person letting out his terrifying aura that makes me shivers and even makes me want to fall down on my knees didn't seems to affect Aura-chan, she still looks fine and she even look confused when those three adventurer suddenly fell on the ground.


"Are you okay Aura-chan? you didn't hurt anywhere right?"


*nod *nod


"Are you sure Aura-chan? didn't you feel a terrifying power coming from the person that saved you before?"


Aura-chan who is sitting a bit far to me look confused and tilt her head, she looks so cute while she titl her head and lost in thought like that, her cute expression gives me back my smile and I'm a bit relieved that she's okay and didn't get injured or anything.


Actually, who is that person? it feels like a mana controlling, but a very high level of mana controlling that can even make someone fainted, but somehow I didn't fall on the ground and fainted, or else these food I bought will be on waste and I don't want that, but, those three adventurer are pretty lucky that there was store owner who happened to pass by with some groceries with her helping them and move them inside her store, some people got curious and help her to carry those adventurer.


I steal a glace at Aura-chan who sits on the other side of the bench, I guess she still can't get close to me without me doing it first huh, well I think looking at her eating her grilled meat peacefully is something more interesting to do for now.


We spend our time eating the grilled meat while having a little chat to wash away the awkwardness, but I guess I'm not that kind of person who can live up the atmosphere and not making it more awkward, because whenever I start to talk, my lips shiver and I feel nervous for some reason and sometimes result in stuttering when I try to make a conversation.


"It's getting late soon, want to go home now Aura-chan?"


The sun is about to set soon, I can't believe how long we actually spend just sitting and eating a grill meat while having a little awkward talk, I guess it's not true that Aura-chan has a feeling for me, I think that is just me getting over myself.


As I'm about to get up from the bench, something suddenly hold my right hand and I can feel something warm and soft is touching my skin.


"C-can we stay together for a second....?"


What?.... I'm not just seeing things right now am I? it's that Aura-chan who is holding my hand right now, right? I can see clearly how blushed she is right now, there's no way she would do that if she doesn't have any feeling towards me, right? right?


I can't handle myself and blushed too, I look away and rub my head, trying to act as calm as possible, is my spring finally come? but I'm only an eight years old kid, I need to talk with Ilya-nee about this, I can't decide it myself, ahhh.... what should I do now.


At least I can keep my cool face on and no blushing too much, I don't want to make it obvious in front of her, she even muster up her courages to move closer and even hold my hand, this is something beyond my expectation honestly.


I let out a sigh to calm my racing heart, trying to keep my mind out from thinking something indecent, that's right, I need to hold myself and think about how awesome Ilya-nee is now, thinking about Ilya-nee will always saves me no matter what.


"I-I'm sorry if it's bothering you..."


"Ah.. no no no, it's fine Aura-chan.."


Ahh.. I make her worried that I don't like it when she's being more selfish with herself, it's alright to be more selfish Aura-chan, don't worry about it, I can stay here all day if you want, don't worry Aura-chan, I won't get mad at you no matter how selfish you are.


"Alright, I guess we can stay here a bit longer and watch the sunset"


"Ah... F-forgive me... but I don't think that's a good idea.. Alto-san will get mad at us.."


Ah, of course she would be worried of that, it isn't right for kids to get home late, and we have a plan tomorrow too to visit Ilya-nee and Elis-nee, but I think we need to spend this precious time while we're at it, it's a rare chance right? I can't waste it just like that.


"Let's just stay for a while, I'm sure uncle Alto won't get mad at us"


"O-okay..."


It's fine right? I want to ask her... ahhhh... I'm so curious about it, but I can't ask her... I don't want to break our friendship.
