The Tiny Lina Maya

Chapter 190 - Potatoes

Right then, Lina's body immediately went limp and sagged down on Saga's lap.

If only Saga had not immediately held onto Lina's body which was currently in severe pain, Lina would have already fallen to the ground.

Saga looked at Lina's pale face and immediately asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm. I'm fine.. UHUK! UHUK!"

So great was Lina's cough, that it made her cough out blood!

"OHAW! UHUK! UHUK!"

Seeing this, Saga's facial expression immediately changed.

"Are you sick?"

Lina cleaned up the bloodstains that were on the corner of her mouth, then said with her voice that sounded weak, “A little flu. Just need to take medicine and enough rest has also healed.”.

Fortunately, there were now many medicinal ingredients that Lina stored inside the storage room. Now he no longer had to worry about the lack of medicine.

Shortly after, he took out some kind of herbal medicines that he needed, then concocted them for him to drink.

After the effects of the medicine worked quickly, Lina started to feel a little dizzy and fell asleep next to Saga.

...........

For the next few days, it was Saga who was taking care of Lina who was currently lying weakly.

To avoid his uncle's suspicion, every day before Saga met his uncle as usual, he would always feed Lina medicine first, then go out to see his uncle, and only come back at night, then concoct the medicine and feed it to Lina again.

...........

After a routine for seven to eight days like this, now Lina's condition has improved a lot.

"Are there letters from Uriel?" Lina murmured as she found the stone slab containing the inscription, from inside the storage room.

"Me and Wiro found, and following the instructions you left along the way, we have now reached the riverbank. But we didn't find any demons around here. Besides, neither of us could dive in the water, our search was stopped by the river. At this time Leon is also returning to the Volcano, to meet Vishnu and ask for his help. When Vishnu arrives, we should be able to continue our journey to the demon clan. If I had expected, it would have taken me about three more days."

After reading the contents of the letter from Uriel, Lina immediately told Saga.

"In three more days, we'll be out of here soon!"

"Yes." Yeah." Sahut Saga is short.

With her great hope of being able to leave this place soon, that was what made Lina feel so happy. He took two large red fruits from the storage room, ate one for himself and gave the other to Saga.

"CRACK!"

"This fruit is crunchy and tastes sweet too. Eat up!" Lina said as she chewed the fruit in her mouth, and one hand gave one sweet fruit that was still intact to Saga.

Although at this time the sweet fruit was already held in his hand, but Saga only stared at the fruit, and not immediately he ate.

"CRAUC! KRAUK!"

Lina, who was eating sweet fruit next to Saga, immediately said, "Don't be silly. Quick eat! That fruit tastes so sweet!"

Looking at Lina's sweet and pretty face, with both of her cheeks looking plump, made Saga's heart feel like it was melting.

He also tried to bite the sweet fruit that Lina gave him.

"CRACK!"

"Hows it? It's sweet, right?" Ask Lina.

Saga nodded her head, looking at Lina's sweet and cute face.

"Hm.. Very sweet."

Hearing that, made Lina feel happy. He asked again with a sweet smile, "Really?"

After one sweet fruit was eaten, Lina took out another type of fruit, and ate it along with Saga.

"If only we could make a fire, we could definitely bake potatoes," Lina said.

Orcs were naturally afraid of fire, and demons were extremely dislikeful of fire. Moreover, it would be extremely dangerous if it wanted to make a fire here.

Lina knew about this, so, just now she said like it was just a small talk.

No Lina thought, the next day Saga really brought a lot of dry wood. Then he took out a fire stone and burned the wood.

Squatting near a warm bonfire, Lina asked worriedly, "Are we not going to get caught?"

Hearing what Lina asked, Saga replied casually, "If we close the doors and windows, no one will know."

Shortly after, Lina took out some potatoes, stabbed them with wood, and roasted them on the fire.

Potatoes grown in Lina's garden, larger than the size of normal potatoes, taste sweet, but not easy to cook. The potatoes had to be roasted for a long time.

After the baked potatoes Lina had cooked, she also gave half of those potatoes to Saga.

The potatoes are still very hot. One hand of Lina held the wood that pierced the potatoes, and another hand carefully peeled the potato skin.

"wait. It's still very pa ..."

However, Lina was a step slower. Saga had already bitten the hot potato.

"KRESH!"

After chewing and swallowing the hot potato, Saga said, "It's okay, it's not too hot."

Lina who looked at Saga with a surprised expression immediately said, "But I still remember, if you used to be afraid of burning!"

But Saga avoided Lina's gaze. He immediately grabbed the hot potato Lina was holding, peeled the skin clean, then blew it cold, then gave it to Lina.

"Eat."

Lina took the cold and sweet potato and ate it, while continuing to look at Saga with her heart that was very happy.

"There's a lot of delicious food, my family's fine too. There's nothing better than this!" Inner Lina.

...........

After Saga finished putting out the fire, he brought a basin filled with warm water to the bed.

"I'll wash your hands and feet."

Hearing Saga say that, Lina immediately sat on the edge of the bed.

Then, Saga immediately washed Lina's feet gently and very carefully.

When she finished washing Lina's feet, Saga looked at Lina's face. As she looked at Lina's long eyelashes, it made her feel very eager to kiss Lina's face.

After that, Saga immediately brought her face closer to Lina's face and looked at her.

As the two looked at each other, Lina's heart beat extremely fast.

"DUG DUG! DUG DUG! DUG DUG!"

It made Lina subconsciously close her eyes, and was ready to wait for Saga to kiss her.

But, it turned out that Saga actually helped her clean Lina's hands, and then laid Lina down onto the bed and said casually, "Now you can sleep in peace."

Lina, "....."

"Didn't he see that I was ready?! Huh!" Inner Lina who was feeling disappointed.

After that, Saga immediately cleaned the room and cleaned his own body, then went to lie on the bed.

As soon as Saga lay down, Lina immediately rolled into Saga's arms and went inside the blanket.

His head sticking out of the blanket, his hair disheveled and his bright eyes were staring at Saga strangely.

"I see, lately you haven't laughed much. Are you feeling unhappy?" Ask Lina.

Although Saga did not like to laugh, but occasionally he still wanted to show his incredible smile.

However, ever since he drank the water potion forgetting love, not a single bit of him had ever smiled again, not even his expression had changed in the slightest. Real cold.

After hearing Lina's question, Saga hugged her, and calmly said, "I'm happy."

"Then, why don't you ever smile again?" Asked Lina curiously.

Saga remained silent for a while, trying to avoid Lina's question, then lightly said, "It's been a very night, just go to bed."

But, the more Saga dodged, the more Lina could sense that something was wrong.

"I have an idea."

After thinking, he said to Saga, "What if I tell you a joke?"

"OK." Answer the brief Saga.

"There was a fight between the stone and the potato. When the potato was looking down on the stone to pick up the fallen weapon, the stone immediately jumped up and kicked the potato, until it was thrown far into the sea. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.."

Saga, "....."

"Somewhere, there is a man who has been for several years heartbroken.. One day, the man decided to go to the sea to fish.. Guess what he caught?"

Lina told this story very seriously, making Saga who was very absorbed in listening also feel touched.

Saga simply shook her head, which indicated that she could not guess.

After seeing Saga shake her head, Lina slapped the stone bed with a laugh and said, "The one she caught was the potato. Ha ha ha ha!"

Lina laughed until her tears came.

But, Saga's response still remained cold and expressionless.

Lina wiped away her tears, then asked, "Do you think that story is not funny?"

"Should I laugh?" Ask Saga hesitantly.
