When Fisher struggled to open his eyes, the first thing he saw was the familiar ceiling in his compartment. He stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time, then turned around and looked to his side. Unfortunately, there was nothing around him.
There was no one but him sleeping on the bed.
He sat up, only to find that his whole body was in severe pain. When he lowered his head, he realized that there were bandages everywhere on his body, but the person who used the bandages was probably an idiot. The bandages were wrapped thin and loose like a mummy, but at any rate
It helped Fisher stop some bleeding so that he wouldn't bleed to death.
Moreover, his enhanced physique allowed his body to recover very quickly. In just one night, most of the wounds had scabbed over.
It's like the dragon race's incredible recovery ability.
"Fisher, you wake up!"
Just when Fisher lowered his head and looked at himself, the door of his room was pushed open. Rafael stood at the door and looked at him with some joy. Just when he was about to speak, a loud voice behind Rafael said.
Passed over.
"What, Fisher is awake? Let me see!"
"Lal!"
The petite Lal got out from under Rafael's body, and with her back against Rafael's gaze that wanted to get angry, she happily ran to Fisher's bedside,
"Fischer, wake up! Yesterday Master Rafael said that your bed was too small for fear of pressing on your wound, but Lal thought it was not too small, so I could lie down on it just by tucking my tail."
Rafael's face turned rosy. He originally wanted to rest with Fisher last night, but who knew that the bed in his room was a single bed. Although he could sleep there, Fisher was injured after all, so
She didn't do that, but who knew that Laer would be shaken out all at once.
"Lal, I asked you to wash yourself in the river outside, but you just didn't move, right?"
"I don't! Master Rafael! I don't want to wash it now, but Hilfahil and the others will definitely splash water on me! I promise!"
Looking at the noisy Lal, Fisher smiled, but after fighting all night, and now sleeping until noon, he suddenly felt very hungry. He remembered that he had placed some on the bedside table.
Philon bought bread in the city, so he reached for it, but found nothing.
Hmm? Where is my bread?
Before Fisher could speak, Lal, who was captured by Rafael, suddenly buried her face in Rafael's arms and remained motionless. Only a muffled voice came from her arms.
"Ah, Lal really wants to take a bath, how about going now?"
"...."
Just as he said, Lal covered his ears and ran out of the door again, disappearing into the carriage.
As a result, Rafael and himself were the only ones left in Fisher's room. Rafael glanced at Fisher, who was naked from the waist up, and said as if he remembered something,
"Your clothes are all ruined. I took them off and put them over there, but I probably won't be able to put them back on. Everything inside is here."
There was his wallet and a pack of Nari cigarettes and matches beside the bed, but his two manuals were not among them. Fisher nodded, rubbed his body and then said to Rafael,
"You go out first, I'll come out after changing my clothes."
"Um."
When Rafael closed the door, Fisher rubbed his sore body and got up from the bed. He looked at his suit jacket that was hung on the hanger and was full of holes. He reached out and touched the two completion manuals in his underwear pocket.
.
It's strange, obviously they were put together yesterday when I put them away, but now when I touch them, one is on the left and the other is on the right. They don't move on their own, and others can't see them at all. Could it be that these two things will move on their own?
?
Fisher took out the two manuals and went to the changing room next door to change into a suit. This was already his last custom-made suit. He didn't expect that when he came to the Southern Continent with no money and no clothes, he would burn quickly.
It's stained because of battle holes. If I had known it would be such a hassle, I wouldn't have worn a suit.
After pondering for a long time, Fisher hung up his suit jacket and prepared to wear a lined white shirt.
The stomach was quite hungry. When Fisher got out of the carriage, he realized that they were now staying by a creek on the edge of a forest. However, Hilfasher and the others had almost finished washing and were holding bath towels from the changing room.
After wiping his hair, Milzeton lit a fire with leaves and was grilling meat.
"Master Fisher, you're awake, come over and have some breakfast."
"Thanks...where are we now?"
"Ah, Lord Rafael has been heading north, so he shouldn't have deviated from his route."
Mill handed a piece of meat of unknown species to Fisher, and then said,
"No one is chasing us behind us, but we heard human cannon fire in the distance last night, so Sir Rafael stopped moving forward."
"so."
Fisher looked at the forest in the distance. According to what Philon said before, there should be people from the Shivali City Lord Alliance here because the mines are going to war with the tribes here.
Fisher decided to rest here for a day and wait for his injury to get better before moving on to avoid any accidents.
"Fisher, come here and see, Lar has learned to swim!"
Lal's loud shouting came from the shallow stream. Next to him, Mir's face turned rosy, he stood up and cursed at Lal,
"Lal! You have no clothes on, and I told you not to swim over here!"
"But I want Fisher to rub my scales..."
Rub... rub the scales?
This kind of thing...this kind of thing can only be done by a partner!!
Mir's face turned red and he said nothing, but Raphael's furry place next to the creek asked Lar to swim back there to wash himself.
Fisher didn't look over there and just kept chewing the meat.
"Sorry, Mr. Fisher, that guy Lal is really naughty."
"fine."
Unexpectedly, after breakfast, Lar, who was still naughty and lively just now, became sluggish. He was shaking and shaking in a bath towel and couldn't even open his eyes. When they stopped yesterday, it was almost early morning, and basically nothing happened.
Mir and Raphael were fine when they went to sleep, but Lal, the youngest, really couldn't hold on any longer.
After Mil wiped her hair, she prepared to take a nap with them, while Fisher took a breather outside the carriage.
The forest was surprisingly quiet during the day. It seemed that the battlefield between humans and goblins was some distance away, so it didn't disturb the restless life here.
Taking advantage of this rest time, Fisher's mind was flooded with details of everything that had happened before, such as Philon completing the manual for his soul, and the terrifying creature that took away their souls in the end.
When Philon handed him the soul completion manual before, he said that he would handle this technology by himself. Does this technology refer to his technology of extracting and using souls?
It seems that I must study this soul replenishment manual.
Fisher tried to take out the Soul Completion Manual from his arms, but he only found the manual on the left side.
"Um?"
He reached to the right again and found the Soul Manual squeezed in the corner on the edge of the right pocket.
Just when he was wondering, there was a sound of footsteps beside him. He turned around and saw Rafael standing next to him at some point. She seemed to want to clean herself, and she was only wrapped in clothes.
A simple bath towel, eyes evasive, face flushed.
Fortunately, her tail didn't move, otherwise the simple bath towel wouldn't be able to support her beautiful body.
"I...I want to take a bath too."
"..." Fisher looked at her unintentionally revealed fair skin, which was like the appetizing apples and cream. Fisher's eyes darkened for a second, but he still stood up and prepared to leave. He was now covered in blood.
They are all wounds, and the wounds will become worse as time goes by.
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
As a result, when he walked past her, she grabbed her sleeve. When he turned around to look, he only saw her profile.
"Wait...wait a minute, help me, help me wipe the scales, I can't reach the tail and back."
"...good."
"..."
The depth of the stream was not deep, and even if Rafael was half-kneeling in it, it could only reach below her chest. She did not completely untie the bath towel, only exposing the scales on her back and tail.
"How to do?"
Her smooth and fine scales were in perfect shape and were spread thinly on her white back. Her tail was also raised over the surface of the stream, and it swayed playfully from time to time, allowing Fisher to always look through the stream to see the things floating under the water.
bath towel.
"Water...wipe it for me..."
Fisher took the water with his hand and wetted her scales bit by bit and washed them. The draconian scales were very hot and felt like a small heater to warm his hands. Wherever his big hand touched, the scales there were like
It trembled slightly, but never stood up.
Hot spring-like steam surged up from the cool spring water, wrapping them up. At this moment, Rafael turned around with a blush on his face, and happened to see Fisher who was concentrating on helping her clean her scales.
"Fisher..."
"what?"
He replied expressionlessly, wiping her usually restless tail with both hands. Now the tail was well-behaved and twitched comfortably from time to time without splashing.
Rafael didn't speak, but reached out and grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulled him closer, and then kissed him on the lips, making Fisher's expression melt a little.
The kiss lasted for a while, before Rafael let go of him breathlessly, then turned around and hugged his towel tightly, so that Fisher couldn't see her expression clearly.
"A thank you gift...a thank you gift for wiping my scales..."
"..."
"From now on, you can only help me wipe my scales..."
The last sentence was whispered, but after all, the forest was quiet, so Fisher heard it clearly. I wonder if what Lar just said about asking him to help her wipe her scales reminded Rafael of this matter, so at this moment
That's why she spoke like this.
"good."
After hearing Fisher's affirmative answer, the somewhat wet tail slowly wrapped around his trousers and was unwilling to let go for the time being.
