The Dragon'S Blue Gem
Chapter 12 [The Yue ]
The boy was growing more wary of Aqua.
"You... Why help me? Why don't you ask me anything?!" ask her.
Aqua looked over a little and continued reading.
"Don't I ask you one thing?"
Aqua's answer did not make the child satisfied. "I've never seen a human like that before, all the humans I've met have always chased and hunted me."
"Are you not afraid? I am the devil" said the boy.
Aqua laughed a little at hearing that.
"Fearful? Me? To you? Pfftt. If I wanted to, I could kill you at any time" Aqua joked.
"Where might I be afraid. Even though you're a demon, you're just a little bit stronger than an ordinary person."
"I-I can also kill you if I want!!" upset that kid won't lose.
"Yes, yeah. It's up to you."
The boy was angry and continuously mocked Aqua with light mockery. Aqua did not care at all about it, she just continued to read. After getting bored, Aqua chose to continue to sleep. Upset by talking to himself, the boy also went to bed in a bad mood.
That's how many days they spent together. Aqua also healed the child's wounds and accompanied him until he calmed down without asking much.
"My food supply is running out" Aqua thought as she looked at her inventory.
"It's been 4 days.I have to find food tomorrow. This child is also calmer. I'll continue on my way soon."
Aqua looked at the sleeping child. His face was not as alert as before. He was already able to sleep quietly beside Aqua.
As soon as the sunlight enters the cave, the boy awakens without finding Aqua inside. He came out in panic and looked for Aqua.
"Hey!!! You!!! Where are you!!? Answer me!!!!!" loud screams.
Since no answer was heard, the boy almost cried. He might be annoyed with Aqua, but he did not hate her. He loved it and thanked me for being saved.
"You. don't leave me alone." cried the boy.
SRUUKKKK
"It's not you. but Aqua. Call me Aqua" a voice shocked the boy. Aqua emerged from behind the bush with a rabbit horn in her hand.
The boy was delighted and ran to embrace Aqua.
"Tong-"
"Youngpam…. I thought you left me alone!!!!" crying of the boy.
Aqua was confused as to how to respond. He stretched out his hand and gently patted the child's head. Aqua's warm touch won her over.
"I brought you some food. Go back inside, I'll be right in after skinning this rabbit," Aqua said kindly.
The boy nodded while rubbing his eyes. He walked in, but stopped and returned to Aqua.
"I. Yue," said the boy briefly and went back into the cave.
Aqua was confused and laughed to herself.
"We're new acquaintances after 4 days together, huh!" her laugh.
"Yeah? Eh? Female name?!!! Waitaminute! She a girl?"
Aqua was shocked after realizing the meaning of the boy's name. All this time he thought the boy was because of his voice and appearance. Aqua had not seen the status of the child either.
Aqua focused her left eye and looked at the status of the child.
"Ap-"
Aqua was speechless. He had never seen such a status before.
"It should be that my eyes can see all the hidden statuses. But what is this? The tittle cannot be seen!!!"
"Yue... Who is he really?"
"Wait, calm down. Try to remember, if Yue is an important character, he must have appeared in the game."
Aqua tried to recall all her conversations with her sister. But it was free, he had never heard the word Yue in the game.
"Aquaaa!!!! Hurry up I'm hungry!!" whinek Yue while peeking at Aqua.
Aqua realized, "Patience!!!"
After they finished eating. Aqua was busy thinking and subconsciously touched Yue's black hair.
"Black hair, besides my silver hair, black hair is also rare."
"Aqua? Why?!"
"Eh, no. It's just. I think we should tidy up, "elak Aqua.
Yue stared at her hair alternately by looking at Aqua.
"Is this ugly?" asked Yue while tilting her head.
".... "
"No.. but women have to look neat and beautiful, right?" answer Aqua friendly.
There was a reason why Aqua was weak with women, especially if they were small. This was because in his previous life, Aqua had a younger sister and an older sister. Her brother died as a child from illness and her sister was also weak. Aqua used to be a spy agent although dangerous because of her high salary, so she can cure her sister.
Even so, overall Aqua was a pretty cold person. He just gets warmer and more open to people he knows well. Even if you're a girl, Aqua doesn't mean you'll be kind and warm.
Yue looked enthusiastically hearing Aqua. She nodded in excitement when Aqua said she would make her beautiful. Aqua smiled, she took the scissors from the inventory and tidied Yue's hair.
After being neat enough, Aqua made a ribbon of the cloth of her robe. Aqua put the blue white ribbon on Yue's head. Aqua also sewed her used clothes to be more feminine and had Yue replace her broken clothes with it.
"Done…"
Yue was happy with her new look, she spun so that her hair was loosely spread. Aqua smiled seeing him happy.
"She used to be like a wild cat, now she's more cute."
"Aqua! Thank you," Yue said with a dazzling big smile.
"Ukhh damagenya!!!!"
"Either. I'm glad you like it" Aqua replied warmly.
Aqua's pleasure did not last long, she had to immediately continue on her journey. But what will happen to Yue?
"Yes…"
"Hmm?!" yue replied happily.
"If.. if you have no other purpose, would you come with me?"
To be honest Aqua was hesitant to invite Yue over. But he also could not leave Yue Yang wandering around just like that. What if something happens to Yue? That was what Aqua thought.
"Sure!!! As long as I'm with Aqua, wherever I want!" yue replied without the slightest hesitation.
Aqua keget, she feels deja vu.
"Why are all the women I meet always like this huh," tickled Aqua.
Aqua stroked Yue's head gently. Aqua's warm smile made Yue smile as well.
Aqua touched Yue's horn, it made Yue amused. He wanted to ask Aqua to take it off, but Aqua seemed to be in focus so Yue paused her intention. A light appeared in Aqua's hand, just then also Yue's horn and tail disappeared.
"I'm sorry, if we want to get out of here, we have to hide your horns and tail. Or you can be hunted again. The continent is not that good for the demon race" Aqua explained.
"It's okay, I trust Aqua!"
That trusty carefree reply calmed Aqua down.
"We're going to the Elf Kingdom. I want to practice dark magic there. Yue.. I'll ask the teacher there, if you can also study."
Yue nodded, he replied to Aqua with a sweet smile that could leave anyone fascinated. Aqua held Yue's hand and they moved swiftly to the Vittacelar Kingdom together.
"Not only the horns and tail, I also covered his status as a demon. If only I covered my status I could still. But still, taking the demons with me, Master must be furious. I hope no problems happen."
