Seeing Theresa giving her food to the little wolf, Noctis gives her to Theresa. She was a bit timid when giving her that, she had previously sneered at Theresa about being too kind to give her own to animals, because if only to animals, it was to be, even raw food will not cause major problems in digestion, or they do eat raw food. It is too much to give good food only to the animals you meet today.
“You yourself also want to give yours, Noctis-sensei.” Theresa smiled with a small giggle. “You told me not to be too kind to others, but you did it yourself. What about your ideas and ideas before? Are you going to betray your own thoughts?”
“Whispering!” noctis said in a high tone. His face was pointing in the opposite direction from Theresa. She looks shy and rarely looks like this. He also softly said, “Basically as a spirit I don't need food like this. I'm also your teacher and have responsibilities to you, so you don't have to feel too sorry for me. More it...”.
“More...?”
“Do not judge something from only one side,” Noctis continued in his disconnected sentence. “To get more accurate information, you need to see something from different sides. If you use only one side and one point of view, it will be a siding thought rather than an objective one. Betraying one's own thoughts and seeing them all from multiple sides is one way to give a more accurate assessment of a topic. Don't get me wrong and think I feel sorry for you.”
“Noctis-sensei..” Theresa was stunned to see the good habits of Noctis. “I, I've never seen you do anything like this before. Usually you will only provide facilities and let us—your students—to do your own business. Don't-don't, you feel uncomfortable because this first time doing something like this?”
Before Elena's reincarnation into this world, Noctis was a wanderer to various worlds to obtain various items. After obtaining those items, he would research them and spend a lot of time on them. It's not strange that Noctis's social skills are low. He is an individual from a different world when in adventure, making him also limit social relations in the world of his wandering background. It's not strange that Noctis's social relationships are bad.
“Already! You want it or not? My hands started to stiffen because they stretched it out like this for a long time. If you accept, quickly take it. And if you don't want to, then I'll eat it myself! Do you think I also don't want to eat the thing I've been grilling for about ten minutes?” Noctis shows his anger, telling Theresa to quickly choose.
“Hehe, of course I will accept it. I-I've been feeling hungry for not eating all day.” Theresa threw the empty wooden stick in her right hand into the campfire, then took Noctis' sausage. “Since this morning we did not stop for lunch, we did not bring any food to eat in the car, I felt hungry after not eating all day. Thank you very much, Noctis-sensei.”
“Hmph!” Noctis turned his face back.
“Wah, well, you two are so romantic once, yes.” Yovanca smiled broadly at this spectacle. To him, it was very interesting and amazing to see one of the strongest spirit kings being timid. “Theresa took Noctis' sausage and ate it. If this is not a literal meaning, this will definitely be something very romantic.”
‘Aunt Yovanca, don't say that! You should remember about age restrictions! This novel is intended for children aged ten years and over. It would be a big deal if you put in such an adult element! Aren't you worried that this novel will be banned in the country?’ Sophia screamed in her mind while pursing her lips.
*roar!*
“Hard build! Are there monsters around here?” Alex's focus was on the origin of the sound.
The darkness of the night made it hard to see. The night beasts were not very clearly visible as they flew towards the high sky. Some owls and other winged animals only look like a black shadow crossing the sky. The rest, the light from the dead moon does not give a clear reflection of color in the animals.
“Let's go there! Perhaps this was the reason why this forest was so desolate. We must protect these forest ecosystems by eliminating over-ranked predators. We can't let it stay here and prey on all the animals here and destabilize the forest ecosystem!” Theresa immediately stood up from her seat.
“Wait, I did not carry a weapon at all, not even a spare sword or a knife I did not bring it. It's too dangerous to go there!” Alex stood up, but did not move from his place.
As a knight, he had skills in using swords. But as a coachman, he carried no weapons. It is not his job to fight monsters and danger threats during the journey. He had the main task of being a coachman during their journey. He did not carry any fighting power at this moment.
If his opponent was just a rookie bandit, he could still win using his fists and take out the opponent's weapons. But right now his opponent was a monster! There was a difference in strength between humans and monsters. It wasn't as easy as he could defeat a monster using his fists. The defense and violence from the monster bones would instead make Alex hurt his own hands.
“No need to fear, Alex.” Sophia stood up from her seat. He immediately devoured the sausage he had roasted in one bite. ‘Hot! I shouldn't have eaten it all in one bite. But if I take too long, they'll leave me alone in this place. If there's anything on our stuff while I'm here, I'm sure I'll be made a scapegoat.’
After devouring everything in one bite, Sophia continued, “We have Noctis here. I'm sure Noctis-sensei can destroy an entire forest in seconds if he wants to. Such a small monster will not be a problem for him.”
“True too, yes.” Alex continued monologue, “Lagain I still have a contract with the Royal Spirit of Fire. I can still make a fire magic sword as a substitution weapon. Why should I be afraid of only facing a few small monsters?”
“Alright, it's decided, yes.” Yovanca breathed in and acted calm. “The three of you, Sophia, Noctis, and Alex, will advance there and face the monster, then me and Theresa will stay in this place just in case the monster runs here.”
“I did think if there was no point in too much personnel to deploy there. I think this little wolf is scared too.” Theresa sat down while gently stroking the wolf on her lap.
‘Sigh, I shouldn't have suggested Alex go there. I'd rather sit idly here, Sophia's inner’.
