Chapter 22: Chapter 22-Celyne Is a Little Different Than Usual

I am now near the carriage, I will return to the manor today. Trecia looked at me with a lonely face, while Nola looked at me with a death stare.

'How can they be an older sister and younger sister, they both have completely different traits'

Reynold came up to me and grabbed my shoulder.

"I'm sorry Lute, but I can't drive you back, I still have a lot of work to do, I need to do," Reynold had an apologetic expression.

"It's okay uncle, I know you are very busy,"

I smiled at Reynolds, not long after that Trecia came towards me. She held my hand shyly.

"Lute, I hope you stay safe during the journey,"

"Don't worry Trecia, I'll take good care of myself,"

After letting go of my hand, I turned to look at Nola. Tried to see if she said anything while I was leaving, but instead, she glared at me, it gave me goosebumps.

I didn't linger any longer, straight into the carriage. The carriage moved to escort me back to the manor.

----

Arriving at the manor I got off the carriage, as usual, the door opened and Celyne came out there with Silvie. Celyne would jump at me and I would hug her. Silvie looked like she wanted to hug me too but she held it back.

"You like to hug me when I come back, Celyne," I laugh.

"Um, I like hugging Lute, I don't feel like letting go,"

Celyne wrapped her head in my chest, and maybe I feel her sniffing at me a little. I feel a little weird.

During these few days, I prepared my things. Starting from battle equipment, food, cooking utensils, anything related to outdoor survival.

During these few days too, I'll be spending my day with Celyne and Silvie. I now feel like Celyne is trying to get closer to me all the time. This makes me wonder what happened? unable to contain my curiosity, I looked at the status window.

---------------------------

Name: [Celyne Corne]

Race: [Human]

Gender: [Female]

Age: [9 Years]

Innate Skills: [Magic Painting]

Skills: [Explosive Painting], [Sea Water Push], [Flying Knife Painting]

Love Meter: [105%] (What are you doing now? she is now on her way to, the first step of becoming a yandere!!)

Rank: [E+]

---------------------------

Looking at the status window that Celyne has, I feel a little scared. The first step towards the yandere? This is a step towards something bad. I just hope, she doesn't become a woman with a desire for exclusivity in relationships.

'How did it end like this? Is it because I massaged her back then?'

I couldn't think of anything else, because since I massaged her that time, Celyne started to have a different attitude than usual. She started trying to get close to me a lot, even sniffing at my smell.

'As I thought, I shouldn't have massaged a child,'

I feel sorry for Celyne for making her like this, but I will take responsibility, for making her like this. Seeing Celyne's abilities makes me a little uncomfortable.

'Knife? Seriously??, would she stab me with a knife, if I hurt her?' I couldn't help but get goosebumps, imagining this.

Unknowingly everything was ready, and now I'm going out of town. For the past few days, Celyne even dared to try to peek at me taking a shower, this made me a little uncomfortable, but since she wanted to see her, I immediately came out of the bathroom and showed her.

"What is it Celyne? Do you want to see me take a shower? if you want, we might be able to take a shower together, "I came out of the bathroom without a towel.

"Th-that, I was just trying to call you, breakfast is ready,"

Celyne said that but occasionally looked at me with a blush on her face. Maybe she will hold this memory deep in her memory, after that she quickly left the room. I just stared at her with wide eyes even after she left.

'Celyne who used to be embarrassed when she saw me like this, now she even dares to turn her head,'

Holding my head with one hand, I was speechless. I left the room and went to the dining room. When I got there, everyone was already there except Braine, it seemed he had other things to do.

After breakfast, I will now depart to go to Robis Town. There are already carriages outside, this carriage will only take me inside Sailos City. After that, I will take another carriage to go to Robis Town.

"Silvie, Celyne I'm leaving now, I hope you guys can take good care of yourself without me," I hugged Celyne, then hugged Silvie.

"Yeah, don't worry about us, you should also take good care of yourself," Silvie spoke.

"I hope you come back soon, Lute,"

Celyne looked at me with a longing expression. I just replied to Celyne with a smile, I myself will try to return as soon as possible.

"Aunt, I am going now, give my regards to uncle," I said to Sina.

"Alright, be careful," Sina smiled.

Getting into the carriage, the carriage headed straight for the city. To get to Robis Town from Sailos City would take about 11 days. it's far enough because it was close to the territory of the human kingdom.

-----

11 days passed--

I'm now in Robis Town, this town seems to be mostly inhabited by humans. I saw a few Beastments but they were very seedy like they weren't eating enough.

As for something like a bondage necklace, it's a thing that's forbidden in any kingdom. So I don't see any slaves here, although I know that some people violate this and make other races their slaves.

If it's found out by those above, that person will be punished. But I know, the punishment must not be heavy, because this is their own kingdom. They are free to give punishment or not. But mostly no one dares to do that, because afraid of punishment.

Going to the inn, I plan to stay one day before entering the Sorca Forest. In front of me right now, at the reception desk a woman is guarding there, she has brown hair with an ordinary face, neither beautiful nor ugly.

"Can I help you? You look like new here, are you not with your parents?" The woman asked me.

"My name is Lute, I'm new here, and there are no parents to look after me because I live alone,"

"Is that so? I am the daughter of the owner of this inn, my name is Morana," Morana looks a little sad, hearing that a 10-year-old child lives alone.

"I want to stay one day, how many coins are needed to stay one day?" I asked.

"For one day's stay will take 1 Silver Coin, this includes breakfast, and warm water to cleanse the body, if you want other food it will be charged an additional fee," explained Morana.

"I want to stay one day, here's the payment," I gave one Silver Coin to Morana.

"Thank you, this is the key to room number 103 which is upstairs, you can call me if you need anything," Morana smiled.

Morana gave me the key, I took it and went up the stairs to the room above.

Arriving at the door, I opened it. This room looks ordinary for an inn. A table with a place to store things, above it, there is a night lamp.

There's a bed, only enough for one person to sleep on it. I immediately put my bag on the table. Actually, I don't need a bag at all, but if I go with nothing, and took things out of the inventory just like that. That would make people probably suspect I was the son of a rich man for having spatial storage items and trying to rob me.

I don't want to cause much trouble, especially when I just got here. Lying on the bed, it's quite comfortable even though it's not as comfortable as my previous bed.

I will plan tomorrow morning, go straight to the forest. I don't want to delay my time too long, I also don't know the exact location of the ruins I mean. Because in the game only a rough location is explained.

If I can't find it, at all during this time. That must have been a waste of my time. Getting out of bed, I took out the chains I'd been training for so long.

I can only make this chain move for 20 seconds now, and I can only take out one chain. I hope that in the future I will be able to make many chains.

Practice again with the chain until my mana runs out, my head is getting dizzy from running out of mana. I sleep on the bed, waiting for my mana to replenish and continue my training.
