The Tiny Lina Maya
Chapter 206 - Anu
Seeing Lina who was sad, making Kubucil also follow sad. She lowered her petal-shaped head, then rubbed the back of Leon's hand, and said while crying out sadly, "Dad.."
Getting a touch from the cubicle, Leon touched the petals back to Kubucil, saying, "After father left, you must replace me to always take good care of your mother.."
Hearing what Leon had just said, Lina immediately looked at Leon with her two teary eyes, and her small hand held the arm of Leon's robe tightly.
"Before I leave, will you promise me one thing?" Leon asked Lina, with her man who sounded weak and sounded like he was begging.
Lina nodded her head confidently, then said, "Tell me.. I promise you.."
"Can I be your partner? I don't want to die in my own state.." Pinta Leon weakly and earnestly.
Hearing Leon's request who was dying, Lina did not think of anything. He responded to Leon's request, still crying, "Can.."
"really? Don't you think my appearance is too ugly? Will you regret it someday?" Leon asked as he looked into Lina's eyes deeply.
"No!" Lina replied as she clasped the sleeves of Leon's robe even tighter, and with both eyes filled with tears looked at Leon, then continued to say again, "I will never regret it!"
Hearing what Lina just said, Leon smiled happily.
Then, he took out a necklace that bore a red feather the size of an adult Orc's thumb.
The red color on the fur was extremely bright, even its red luster was mixed with the dazzling glint of gold.
"When the male of the Fur clan has gotten the female he likes, he will give the most beautiful fur of his body, to the female he likes.." Said Leon. Then with her trembling hand, she placed the Fur Necklace in Lina's hand, and continued saying again, "You will never throw away this necklace of my gift, right?"
This was the third time Lina had received the feather offered by Leon.
The first and second were rejected outright by Lina, with her attitude that seemed very disgusted with Leon's fur.
It was because back then he did not know, about the habits of the male Orcs of the Feather clan who would put their feathers in the residence of the female they liked, that was, which also contains the meaning and sign that the female has had a lover.
As Lina stared at the bright red Fur Necklace in her hand, she was already unable to hold back her tears that were now more and more rushing.
"Sorry.. I thought you really liked someone else.. And all the words you always say, I think they're just jokes.. I'm sorry.." Lina said as she cried, with her tears now flowing profusely.
"It's okay.." Leon said with a smile, and his face that looked extremely pale. Then he continued to say again, "There is no need to blame yourself like that.. You're not the wrong one.. I'm the one who always deliberately makes it a joke, so you misunderstand what I say.."
After he finished saying that, he furrowed his brows, like he was enduring the pain in his extremely body.
Seeing Leon's facial expression, Lina immediately grabbed onto Leon's shoulder while asking worriedly, "Leon.. Are you feeling pain? Hold on a second, I'll make you some medicinal soup.."
Seeing Lina who was about to go make medicine for him, Leon immediately grabbed Lina's hand and said, "Don't go anywhere.. Stay right here.. I want to be with you always."
"But we ..."
Before Lina finished her sentence, Leon interrupted her, "I just want to be alone with you, before I die.. I'm begging.. Don't ever leave me alone, okay?"
The figure of Leon that Lina knew and knew, was a figure who was hard, very strong and very brave, and never once begged for mercy to anyone.
But right now, he was begging Lina. This made Lina very depressed, and nodded her head, to agree to Leon's dying request, "OK, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here with you."
"As long as you're by my side, I'll die with no regrets.." Leon said with a happy smile.
"Never say that again.." Lina said sadly.
"Well, I won't say that again.." Said Leon. Then he continued to say again by changing the subject, "According to the custom in the Feather clan, after the female is willing to receive the feeding feather from the male bird, that is a sign that the female has agreed to make the male bird as her partner, and give a gift also to the male bird.. Then.. What gift would you give me?" Leon asked weakly, with the look of his hopeful eyes, like a child waiting for a gift from his parents.
Lina, "....."
"Where can I find a present for him?" Think Lina.
Because of Lina's habit of sometimes touching the ring on her ring finger while she was thinking, she suddenly remembered that she still had a bond ring that had no owner.
"Didn't you always want this ring? I give this ring to you, as a gift from me.." Lina said, while thrusting the ownerless Bonding Ring to Leon.
Looking at the ring Lina thrust at him, Leon painstakingly raised his right hand, then said, "Can you help me put the ring on?"
Then, Lina's left hand immediately held Leon's ring finger, and her right hand carefully dressed Leon's Bonding Ring.
Once the Ring of Bond is attached to Leon's ring finger, it adjusts itself in size to the circumference of his finger, and coils firmly on his ring finger. And now, Leon's thin fingers, look slimmer and more beautiful.
Looking at the ring that was now coiled on his finger, Leon smiled happily as he said, "A very beautiful ring.. I like it so much.." After saying that, he looked at Lina and asked hesitantly, "After being attached to my finger, this ring I can no longer let go.. Will you never regret this?"
Hearing what Leon asked, made Lina feel clueless.
"Why is Leon always asking questions like this over and over again? As if she was worried, if someday I'd regret it."
"Then.. Do you love me?" Leon asked with a voice that sounded weak.
Hearing Leon's question like this, it was spontaneous to make Lina look at Leon.
"I don't know how to answer a question like this.. Now, what do I answer?" Think Lina.
"Why are you quiet?" Leon asked, and both of his eyes now looked like they were disappointed. Then he asked again, "Did you refuse to answer my question, because you didn't like me?"
"I don't like it.." Answer Lina.
Hearing what Lina had just said, it also made Leon's eyes sparkle, then he hurriedly asked again, "Does that mean you like me?"
"I don't know.." Lina replied clumsily, while scratching her non-itchy head. Then he continued to say again, "I don't know how to answer your question.. I never thought of anything like this either.."
Actually, Lina did not want to marry Leon. And also, even though it had never been thought of by him, that he would pair up with Leon.
Although sometimes he felt his heart pounding while together with Leon, but the pounding was only a moment, and would return to normal after everything had passed.
Therefore, Lina could not answer Leon's question.
If Lina said "she likes it", Lina thought that maybe it would make things a little bad. But if Lina said "don't like it", it wasn't enough either, after all that Lina had been through with Leon, Lina had really moved her heart, and he also did not want to deceive himself.
After looking at Lina who looked confused and reluctant, Leon lowered his head in disappointment.
While Lina who saw the face of Leon who was now getting pale, and felt that anytime Leon could fall unconscious, this was what made Lina become more nervous in her heart.
"No matter what kind of feelings I have for Leon, I still can't accept Leon's death.." Inner Lina.
Lina, who is currently nowhere to go, decides to ask Bubu, risking danger for herself, with Leon likely to find out about Bubu.
Lina called Bubu in a low voice, "Mubu, is there any other way to neutralize the Snake's poison?"
"Your blood can neutralize any kind of poison, including venomous Snakes." Bubu.
"So I just gave my blood to Leon. But still not working, he still looks very weak." Lina.
"Ohh.. He's lying to you." Said Bubu calmly.
"What's? That's not possible." Said Lina who was currently being extremely shocked and in disbelief.
"Who would have the heart to use things like this to deceive others?!" Think Lina.
"Based on stupid girl. If you don't believe me, you can test it." Bubu.
Then, with suspicious eyes, Lina looked at Leon's entire body and thought, "How do I test him?"
Leon who noticed Lina's mood swings immediately asked weakly, "Who are you talking to? Who is Bubu?"
When Lina was confused about how to explain it to Leon, she suddenly had an idea.
Both of his hands immediately held onto his head, then said while acting like he was in pain, "Arrgh! Just now, there's a sound coming into my brain.. The voice said that he could neutralize the poison in your body. But I don't believe it at all.. L'm.. Arrkh! I wanted the voice to go out of my mind, but it made my head feel really sick! Arrkhc! My head is about to explode! So hurt.. Am I going to die??"
Looking at Lina who was like she was in a lot of pain, Leon quickly restrained Lina's shoulder as he said, "Don't be afraid, calm down. There I am here. I'll never let someone hurt you!"
"My head hurts so much! I'm not strong anymore!" Lina said as she continued to hold her head. "DURRKHH!" After shouting like this, Lina immediately pushed Leon's hand that was holding his shoulder away, making him slip and fall from the big and tall tree.
"SLIPS! KRASAK! KRASAK!"
"Well.."
"Huh? Lina!"
Seeing this, Leon quickly jumped down while stretching out his wide wings, then hugged Lina's body, and landed smoothly on the ground.
"FUCK!"
When he landed on the ground, Leon immediately said with a tone of voice that sounded very anxious, "Lina, hang on! I will take you to the Shaman who is in the nearest tribe!"
After Leon finished saying that, Lina forcefully released herself from Leon's embrace, then took a few steps back to distance herself.
Then, his two large, round eyes glared at Leon, and while looking at Leon coldly he said, "Are you not dying from the Snake's poison? But why are you now able to jump and fly, huh? Explain to me!"
"ii that.. Aa anuu's.."
