The Strongest Fairy

Chapter 63 Morial and Suvia

「Da, damn it... I have Suvia waiting there, I'm a pathetic guy... Ah」

Behind him, he heard the door creaked open, and then the sound of shoes hitting the floor. That person then came closer and lifted him. He then felt warmth from being embraced and he couldn't escape it.

He tried squeezing out words, but it would only inflict more damage on him.

「......Funny, isn't it?」

「Let me help you change clothes......」

「......Sorry about this, and thanks」

It more than just being embarrassing, having his former rival take care of him, and more than anything else, for showing Suvia his ridiculous appearance. But the joy that He felt from all of this drowns everything else, and he found it to be just fine.

When he was carefully placed back on the bed, Suvia sat sideways and presented him two large and one small bag. Now that they think about it, this was the first time they met in an actually calm manner.

「After the martial arts tournament, you were given rewards. But since you were not able to come, I was chosen as the representative to hand it over. Here」

First passing him the small bag, which contained hundreds of gold coins, then Suvia revealed the contents of the large bags, and they were filled with revenant ores. Both are things that adventurers would dive with their life on the line to acquire. However, the atmosphere behind the two was not something that seems to be happy about it.

「I see...... but now, I have lost what I use to treasure the most. I won't be able to be an adventurer any more, and right now, I'm thinking of what I should be doing for my future」

「Is that so」

Looking at his state, Suvia once more showed a sorrowed face. For a comrade she had known to end up like this.

If it was her, what would she do in such a state......

「There will be more and more new faces, new people that will be joining in the coming years. I am sad but it just cannot be helped. You too, for a woman of your caliber, you don't really have to worry about me like this, you know? I think it would be much better for you to look for a new rival who you could work with and challenge again for the coming years, right?」

Laughing while ridiculing his own state, he didn't try to look at Suvia. His right hand was gripping the futon with all his strength.

He was hiding his true intentions. He didn't want to burden her any more than this.

「Hey, is that all you want? You should go now, and you could still join the festival. You're also a part of the martial arts tournament. If you go now, you'll definitely be praised by the people and get all the free food and drinks they offer, right?」

「......I am indeed done with that task」

That's right. You should go now, before my true intentions overflow. He was gripping his hand so tight, that blood was already starting to drip.

「......Then, next will be my own agenda.」

「......eh? Wha......? 」

「You don't really have to hold back you know. Seriously」

She then grabbed his only remaining hand and wrapped it with both her hands. Looking at his dumbfounded face, Suvia showed a happy expression.

「I have realized. I have always been wondering why I wanted to meet you. I was thinking what if I was in your place? Then I concluded that I wouldn't want to be seen by you. I also thought that it would be much better if you can't see me anymore」
