The Tiny Lina Maya

Chapter 42 - Wanting to Always Be By Your Side

With its unusually large snake shape, the combat effectiveness of the Saga became extremely powerful.

In front of Saga who was in the form of a snake, the Orcs from the Wild Boar tribe looked like kittens.

However, even a small kitten, if disturbed by others, will certainly fight back.

Especially the large number.

The anger that arose, because of their chieftain who had been eaten, made the Orcs of the Wild Boar tribe unleash a super strong fighting force. They rushed to attack and bit the python desperately.

They must avenge the death of their chief.

Although covered by a layer of smooth scales, but the skin of this python is very thick. Even if it was bitten and struck, it would not cause much damage.

While searching for where they kept the fresh fragrant fruit, he also had to face the rampaging Orcs of Wild Boars.

By continuing to follow the source of the smell the food came from, Saga finally found the cave where the Wild Boar tribe kept the fruit, and took all the fruit they had. By keeping the bags of fruit, in the mouth of the serpent.

After getting what she wanted, Saga no longer fought back against them, she immediately prepared to retreat.

However, how could the Orcs of the Wild Boar tribe just let him go?!

They realized, that the usual attack had not had much impact on the snake, one of the Wild Boar Orcs suddenly exclaimed, "Use fire! The serpent is afraid of fire!"

All Orcs were afraid of fire, but the snake Orcs were most afraid of fire. It was probably due to its cold-blooded nature.

The Orcs of the Wild Boar immediately divided the task, some went in search of flint and dry wood, some remained in the way of the Saga, so as not to escape.

Saga who sensed the danger, she became a little annoyed. With his huge tail, he immediately swept away all of the Wild Boar Orcs that were in front of him, and wanted to immediately jump out.

"AARGH!"

"YOUH!"

"OHH!"

The screams of pain sounded alternating.

Saga wanted to get out of there quickly, but the Orc of the Wild Boar was like a jumping flea, which kept coming back, even though it had fallen from the prey to be sucked blood. With death, they continued to attack him, they refused to let go of Saga.

Some of the Orcs, who were in charge of finding wood and fire stones, have now returned. They immediately lit a fire, and threw the wood that had been burned by the fire towards Saga.

The scorching heat of the fire burned the snake, the scales on the surface of the snake's skin rolled up.

Saga was in a lot of pain.

But he kept fighting hard. Ignoring his pain, he lunged at the Forest Pigs and Orcs holding torches, and rushed out of the encirclement.

The trees also did not escape the lunge of the great snake and then moved very quickly on the snow.

The Orcs of the Wild Boar tribe, continued to chase after Saga with each of them carrying a torch.

The running speed of the Wild Boar is very fast. But if they were in that form, they would not be able to run with torches. Even if they could chase after the snake in the form of a Wild Boar, they would not be able to injure the python.

So they could only maintain their human form, and chase after the snake with both of their legs.

...........

Saga's body was full of burns, his scales rolled, his snake skin burned to black. Now, red meat can be seen in many parts of his body, because of the charred skin that peels when rubbing against the snow.

Despite being in great pain, Saga still did not stop her running. He did not want to stop to rest, an item for a second.

In his mind, there was only the little girl who was now lying sick.

"Lina is very sick, and needs this fruit! I can't stop! I should be able to escape! I must survive! I need to get back as soon as possible! Can't stop! Can't!" In his escape, Saga continuously encouraged himself.

When Saga finally returned, and reached the cave, he found Lina unconscious.

Even in her unconscious state, Lina still coughed.

His cough was extremely intense, as if every time he coughed, the entire contents in his lungs were coming out through his throat.

Quickly, Saga pulled out the fruit she was carrying, and said to her, "I've brought the fresh fragrant fruit you want." Then in his confusion, he asked, "Now, what should I do??"

Lina who was unconscious because of her pain, she could not answer what Saga was asking.

Confused, panicked, and helpless, Saga who had turned into a human form, involuntarily moved her hand by herself taking out some fresh fragrant fruit, put it in his mouth and chewed the fresh fragrant fruit in his mouth. He fed it using his mouth into Lina's mouth. She could feel, Lina swallowed the fruit she gave it.

"Fortunately, Lina can still swallow food."

"I don't know if this type of fruit can really treat it. But, Lina's cough gradually now started to calm down a little!"

Saga did not dare to close his eyes, he remained standing still, with his eyes always fixed and watching the little girl who was lying on a haystack.

After a long time, Lina now began to wake up.

He tried to open his eyes with great difficulty. His throat was still itchy, and his head was a little dizzy, but he could feel his condition now much better than before.

"I've given you fresh fragrant fruit. Are you feeling better now?" Ask Saga to Lina who has started to wake up.

Lina turned her head towards the source of the sound coming from, and saw Saga in her snake form being coiled on the ground. His snake eyes seemed to be staring at him attentively.

"I'm much better now, thank you!" Said grateful.

Saga breathed heavily. Then he looked towards the outside of the cave, his eyes fixed on the ice and snow outside. He paused for a moment, then said, "Do you want to go home?"

"AH?!" Lina was a little surprised to hear what she was asking.

Lina did not understand, why did she suddenly ask about it.

Saga tried to hide all the wounds on his body. Still with his gaze fixed out of the cave, he then said again calmly.

"If you want to go home, hurry back. In the forest it's too cold for a gentle woman like you. If you stay here, you will definitely get sick again."

Actually Lina was eager to return, but she was a little reluctant to leave behind this gigantic piton that looked very gloomy, but was actually very gentle of this.

"Will you come with me?" Lina asked carefully.

The stunned Saga, then turned her head back and looked at Lina who was still sitting on the haystack, then asked, "Do you want me to go with you? Why?"

"I must repay your kindness, for you have saved me." Lina explained.

Then Saga said, "I don't need a reply from you."

"But ..."

"It's okay, you can go." Saga turned his body back, facing the entrance of the cave. He no longer looked at Lina.

Lina felt confused by Saga's attitude, which suddenly seemed to be unconcerned.

He immediately got up from the haystack and walked over to her. He tried to touch the snake, as he used to do, to bring their relationship closer.

But, as he approached Saga, he saw the snake's body filled with wounds.

"HUH?! IT'S.."

Some of his skin was black from burning. Red meat is seen in some parts, because it is not covered by the skin anymore and still bleed.

The entire scene, made Lina very surprised.

With a voice trembling in shock and fear, Lina immediately asked, "This wound.. Where did these wounds come from?! What just happened?!"

In her cold tone, Saga said, "It just hurts a little for me. Besides, this wound won't kill me."

"But you..."

"Have it, don't talk about it anymore," then Saga shook her head, in her heart laughing at herself, then said, "After all you don't like me. Even if I get hurt, there's no question. You shouldn't care about me too much."

"Don't say that!" Lina then hugged the body of the snake, "We are friends, I also care a lot about your safety. I ..."

Saga cut her words again, "I told you, I don't want to be your friend, I just want to be yours. Your partner."

"....." Lina just fell silent.

Saga walked towards the cave door, then turned his head back and calmly looked at the little girl.

"I know you must look down on me. You can leave now, go back to your partner and don't show up in front of me again."

Listening to her indifferent words, Lina's heart felt very uncomfortable and sad.

Inevitably he said, "I never looked down on you. I just feel like I don't deserve you."

Saga just looked at her and spoke nothing, clearly she did not believe the girl's words.

Then Lina approached the body of the python and said again, "You are a very good male Orc. Not only strong, but also very good in women. In the future, you should find a woman who can give all her heart to you, not a woman like me who already has two partners. I really don't deserve you."

"It's okay if your heart isn't entirely for me, I just want to always accompany you, by your side."
