Chapter 972: Erika Gets Ahead Of Herself

-----

"Blake! Blake! You're awake!"

Erika ran towards me, giving me her strongest hug.

"Yes, I'm awake and fine. Don't worry."

"I was worried! Are you really fine? We slayed that dragon but everyone has been worried, so we've not been able to celebrate yet…"

"I said I'm fine."

I patted her head gently.

"Don't you see? My body has fully healed after everything, and I feel even stronger than ever before." I showed her. "Don't worry, that was a battle that I wasn't planning to die on."

"O-Okay… I'm just happy you're okay. You're always passing out when you overexert yourself! Dummy!" She reprimanded me. "Take this!"

She hit my head with her dragon tail, made of wood. It didn't even hurt though, and she knew it. She was just a bit angry I was so reckless I suppose.

"Sorry about worrying you. I'll try to not let this happen again." I said, apologizing.
