The Tiny Lina Maya

Chapter 197 - There is Blood

It was a painting of Lina's face, and it looked very similar.

Clearly, Star seemed to understand every detail of Lina's facial features and painted them on stone slabs, the result of which was very similar to the original.

"It's still a little kid, but can you paint with this kind of stunning result, even though he's only first time painting?? This kid must be a prodigy!" Inner Lina who was still very surprised, after seeing the results of the Star painting.

If Star lived in modern society, she might have already become the greatest and youngest painter of the time!

"This is your first painting. You have to capture it." Lina said to Star.

Hearing that, Star nodded in earnest, "Alright."

The powder that Lina used to paint, would not be able to last for a long time.

So, Lina took out a bone knife, and carved out the painting on the stone plate.

"Cutting on a stone takes a lot of hard work and energy.. Uhhh.." Thought Lina who was currently starting to feel tired.

After she finished carving, Lina also felt her entire right arm feel very sore.

Then, Lina gave the carved stone to Star, while her left hand squeezed her right arm, and said to give advice, "Save this well, not to be lost."

"All right!" Answer Star.

As Star looked at the carving on the stone slab, her yellow-colored eyes were glowing, and her heart felt extremely happy.

"Badd.."

Since then, Star has become addicted to painting.

In addition to planting, watering and caring for plants, every day he will sit on the beach, holding a rock plate, and start painting.

Sometimes, Lina would approach Star who was painting, and see that all the paintings of the boy were the faces of a woman, and that face was of course Lina.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with this. After all, there were only the two of us on this island. Star who had no other model for her to paint, I was the one she ended up modeling.." Lina thought simply.

Every time Star finished painting on the stone slab, he would continue to carve the painting he had just made, using Lina's bone knife.

Because the strength of the Orcs was greater than that of Humans, Star was also very easy to carve the painting compared to Lina.

When Lina saw all of that, she was very surprised as well.

"Huh??"

As the two of them worked on the plants, it was Lina who did the heavy work, and gave up the light work for Star to do.

It was because the boy looked so skinny, So, even Lina could not let Star do such a heavy job.

At this moment, Star was starting to paint again.

Lina looked for a place to get away from Star, and sat alone in the bamboo forest, chatting with the voice she had in mind.

"Mom, what do you think of Star?"

Bubu, "....."

There was no response from Bubu, Lina sighed, and continued saying again, "Hhhh.. I feel like taking care of her, like my own son."

Shortly after, the voice in Lina's mind was also like he was sighing, "Hhh.. I never thought I would be a grandfather."

Lina, "....."

Bubu said again, "Girl, just continue eating her snacks. The boy is not as simple as you think."

After hearing that, Lina turned her head and looked at Star who was far away from her and said, "But, I don't think that child is evil."

Eventually, Lina decides to start investigating who Star is.

...........

At this moment, Star had finished his painting, then he took out a bone knife, to carve the painting. Coinciding with that, Lina who had walked back from the bamboo garden, had now been near Star.

"I guessed it, he painted my face again." Inner Lina, when looking at the results of the Star painting.

It's just that Star always changed the point of view of his paintings. Although with different positions and expressions, Lina could still recognize who the painting model was, even if only at a glance.

While looking at Star who was busy carving the painting, Lina took out the sweet fruit from the storage room, rubbed it into her arms, then bit and ate the fruit with pleasure.

"KRAUUKK! KRAUK! Nyams.. Nyams.. Nyam's.."

Despite the noise around him, Star was unaffected, and continued carving. He is still very cool and serious about carving, with his carvings looking very accurate and smooth.

While chewing food, Lina decided to say, "You don't have to always paint people. You can also try to paint flowers, trees, oceans, and more."

Although she could hear what Lina said, but Star did not turn her head at all, she still continued her carving activities, saying, "You are prettier than flowers and trees."

"Oh, huh? This kid's mouth is so sweet!" Inner Lina who was a little surprised, upon hearing what Star said.

Hearing that, Star even slightly slowed down the movement of carving the stone. Even so, he did not stop, he continued carving while saying, "After the ship we boarded was wrecked, I could no longer remember things clearly.. I also can't remember what my parents looked like.."

Star's tone of voice sounded extremely calm, like there was no feeling of sadness in it.

Lina finally decided, not to continue asking about Star's parents and family anymore.

At this moment Lina could only bitterly say, "I'm sorry, for saying something that made you sad."

"It's okay." Said Star.

"CRAUC! KRAUK!"

Finished biting the sweet fruit, Lina continued to ask again, "What does your animal look like? With your very handsome face, it must be your beast form as well, right?"

Upon hearing what Lina asked, making Star instantly dumbfounded as well.

She immediately stopped her carving activity, then turned her head to look at Lina, and showed her two yellow eyeballs that currently looked slightly teary, then said, "My body shape is very ugly.. That's why people always laugh at me.."

As soon as Lina saw Star's tearful expression, she comforted her.

"Don't listen to those people's bullshit. You are a very handsome Orc!" Lina.

"Do you like me?" Star asked as she shed her tears.

"Like! Of course I like you." Lina answered kindly, to cheer Star up.

"I like you too!" Reply Star.

"Now I'm going to cook." Said Lina who was trying to divert the conversation.

"Yes, I'll help you if I'm done engraving this painting." Said Star.

At that moment, Lina immediately turned around and started to get busy cooking.

He boiled a medium pot of potatoes, and took out some beans that he had roasted on the fire.

While peeling the pea skin, he said very softly, to the voice that was in his mind, "Pubu, that kid is very good at speaking. After chatting for a long time, I still couldn't get a single answer."

"I had expected it to be like this before." Bubu.

"Then, do you have any other way to find out about him?" Asked Lina softly.

"If you push him into the sea, he'll probably change his animal form to survive." Bubu.

Upon hearing that, spontaneously alone made Lina very surprised, and subconsciously dropped the beans that she was currently holding.

"You even dare to harm you granddaughter? Crazyhead!"

"Because the boy is not yours." Bubu.

"Then, I'm not your son either." Reply Lina.

"You should be nice to dad. Or, someday, I'll throw you into the middle of the ocean." Said Bubu who did not want to lose.

"Huh? You dare? Better let's hurt each other!" Reply Lina who does not want to lose as well.

Bubu, "....."

There was no reply from Bubu, Lina sighed, "Hhhh.."

"If there is an after-sales service for the system, I want to check, if there is a virus that infects Bubu!" Inner Lina.

Finally, Lina who had no cruel heart, decided not to follow Bubu's advice telling him to throw Star into the sea.

...........

At this time, Lina gave the tender boiled potatoes to Star, saying to remind him, "Be careful it's still hot."

Star nodded, and carefully blew the potato away, then ate it.

"Poppet.. Nyams.. Nyam's.."

After finishing eating and drinking, Lina who now had a full stomach began to sleepy.

While Lina was asleep, she suddenly felt a warm stream, which flowed out from her stomach.

"Hm? These.. Is he coming again?" Thought Lina who was currently starting to wake up, but still had not opened her eyes.

Not wanting to wait for long, she opened her eyes and immediately sat down, then put her hand behind the fur skirt she was wearing and touched the area behind the fur skirt.

When Lina pulled her hand out, she was shocked when she saw her palm!

"There's blood! Why not come early?! Why come at a time like this?! Monthly guest base si*l*n!!"
