Kapitel 234: Relationship troubles
Fast forward three more days. My bones are back together. There are no abnormalities anymore. My magic and <Spirit> are back in action. I feel like I have gotten a bit powerful as well.
Sitting on the sofa I ponder. When to depart and who to take? That is a serious problem. Because my magic and <Spirit> would stop working the moment I reach that place.
Only my physical abilities will work. I have trained my body while I was recuperating. I need to get used to the powers I got from eating those stones too.
Simply, I have fire, water and air and poison control. They are part of me so they won't go away. I haven't analyzed how those powers work yet but once I am done with this, I will.
"Have you decided on who to take?" (Fay)
"I am thinking. But wouldn't it be better if I went alone this time?"
I know it's no use asking this but it doesn't hurt to try once at least.
"No. Someone has to go with you. And it can't be Strauss." (Fay)
She blocked the Strauss card even before I could draw it.
"Master, I should go with you." (Hazel)
"No, I should go. Because magic and <Spirit> don't work there, I am the most suitable person for this job." (Aura)
Hazel and Aura have started an argument. Fay didn't join them as she herself understands the situation. She seems frustrated though.
"Are you mad at something?"
"Well, every time something happens, I am the most useless person. I can't help you in any way." (Fay)
Hmmm…this is unusual! She is being pretty negative. It's rare for her to be so critical of herself.
"You aren't useless. Because I do not keep useless company. You are kinda like my secretary. I make a mess, you clean up after me. Haven't you been doing that ever since we came here?"
I know nothing about a woman's heart. I can not give her some words of encouragement. But I can at least try to sound grateful.
And she has helped me a lot. If she suddenly decides to just distance herself from me, I will be in trouble.
I bring her closer to me. Putting my hand on her shoulder and pulling her towards me, she did not resist.
"Don't say those negative things about yourself. I am really grateful to you for all the things you have done for me. For us."
Showing gratitude is also not my strong suit. Let's be as humble as possible.
She hugs me while leaning on me. Hazel and Aura stop their bickering and sit next to us.
It seems that Fay is tired. So they both took her to her room. I guess all the stress piled up.
"Even she collapsed!" (Strauss)
He appeared out of nowhere and said.
"She has kept all that stress bottled up for more than two years. She needs to vent."
I never thought about the mental aspect of my actions. I guess they are rather heavy.
What to do? I can't leave her in this state. That would be downright horrible. I may be an insensitive man but I can do at least that much. Or will my being here would cause her more stress?
Such enigma, women are!
"You really are just a frank person." (Mom)
Mom comes and sits next to me. Her delivery is soon. Maybe I should go after everything is done. I have confirmed that time flows way too slowly there.
I can take my sweet time here and that place will stay the same for a while.
"Well, I didn't talk to a lot of girls and girls in general tend to be more coy. That's what I think."
"True, that some girls like it when you actually guess what they want. But take it from me, it's better to say it aloud than just keeping it in and waiting for the right guess." (Mom)
Her words kinda make sense. As a man with minimal contact with normal women, I would say they kinda make sense.
Because I have seldom interacted with girls my age. Gwen doesn't count since she is a weirdo like me. Hazel and Aura, they are special. Fay had her common sense destroyed by me and the rest are older women.
Even after having so many women around me, I am no better at interacting with them than a pubescent boy.
"Don't worry, your dad was like that as well." (Mom)
That's a shocking news.
"But I thought dad was popular with women?"
"In his dreams. The way he is now is the way I shaped him. His mannerisms, his speech, I made him that way. It doesn't hurt to push him towards the better. He was pretty crude when we first met.
After that we kept meeting and he wanted to change himself. So I helped him and somehow he turned out to be much better than before so I took him for myself." (Mom)
She looks like she is having fun. But it's kinda embarrassing to sit with my mom and hear her story with my dad.
"But you don't have to rush. You can slowly make yourself better. Be a better you not another you." (Mom)
So the key is to become a better me rather than changing myself to something different. Makes sense in a way!
And I noticed that Strauss was gone. When did he leave?
Aura and Hazel came back.
"How is she?"
"She has a slight fever. Fiona is taking care of her for now. But you better apologize to her later." (Aura)
"Master, you can not just leave a girl hanging. She can sense your uncertainty. Be sure to give her a good answer." (Hazel)
I guess my interpersonal relationships are pretty shaky at the moment. I hope I can fix it soon.
