Lying against Lisey, Andrew smiled. They looked into each other's eyes, and Andrew told her everything that had happened during his journey, as well as how he had received new scars. Lisey listened silently and occasionally asked questions, running her palm over the scars on Andrei's body. When Andrei had finished talking about everything that had happened, Lisey gently stroked his cheek and then began to speak.
- It's good that everything ended this way, and now you're with me. I wish you'd never take risks like that again, but it seems to me that risking your life is something normal. -
Andrei shrugged slightly and started to answer.
- I guess it is, I'm used to it. We should probably get up and get dressed. And in addition Raftalia probably already started looking for us. -
Lizzie giggled a little and kissed Andrew on the cheek and started to answer.
- You're right, eh, I'd honestly lie like this all day. But bliss is an hour, and business is the rest of the time. Do you remember where I put my bra? -
Andrew did not remove his smile and turned to the other side, then picked up the bra and gave it to Lizi, then stood up and began to dress. It didn't take long at all. When they finished they looked at each other once more and Lisi immediately started talking.
- There, we're ready as usual. Let's go downstairs. They're probably already lost and looking for us. -
After these words Andrew came to her slowly and took her hand, then they went to the door and went out into the corridor. From the corridor they went to the stairs, and then they were on the ground floor.
Andrew looked round quickly and saw that all the girls had already changed into the dresses they had brought for them, and Miss Sonia was walking towards them with Raftalia. Raftalia in turn was not dressed as usual. Her hair was braided in a braid that seemed to be covered with patterns, a new dress, a necklace around her neck and some make-up. Andrew looked at her and smiled even wider, and when she came to them he began to speak.
- Well, sister, you're crazy, you were beautiful before, and now you're even more beautiful. I'd like to get married right now. -
Raftalia heard this and blushed in the cheeks, and Miss Sonya began to speak.
- I don't argue with you, Andrei, your sister is very beautiful. Now we just helped her to relax a little. Also if your mutual friend offends her, she knows what to do. Right, Raftalia? -
Raftalia smiled even more and then started to answer.
- It is, I am grateful to you for that. I hope to meet you again. -
Andrei immediately stroked her head and then began to answer.
- Don't worry sister, we'll come back here. But now we have to go, Naofumi is probably already back and waiting for us. And Firo must be bored too. -
Raftalia nodded, and Andrew turned towards Lizi and hugged her lightly.
- I'll try to come back as soon as possible, when the wave passes, I'll definitely come. You can not be afraid of anything. -
Lizi kissed him gently on the cheek in response, and then began to answer.
- I'll be waiting for you Andrei, but please be careful. I don't want you to die, I won't survive if something happens to you. -
Everyone who heard this began to wait for what Andrei would say, he in turn stroked Lisey's cheek and began to answer.
- I'll try to come back in one piece. In addition, I will have my family with me, and when we are together, we are invincible. -
Right after that, Raftalia began to speak, stepping forward a little.
- Don't worry Lizi, I'll make sure Andrei is okay. He'll come back safe and sound. -
Lizi smiled at Raftalia and took her hands and started to answer with the same kind smile.
- Thank you Raftalia, keep an eye on him. And come back as soon as you can, we'll all be happy to see you anytime. Also if you need any help you can come here anytime. -
Everyone agreed to this and at the door Andrew turned round and began to speak.
- I'll be back, I'll be back. Don't be afraid. -
Then the door closed and he and Raftalia walked down the street towards Erhart's shop. On the way Andrew looked at Raftalia once more and once more marvelled at her beauty and began to speak.
- Oh sister, I wish you could have such a holiday more often. After all, even you would like to be an ordinary girl who just wants to live like everyone else. By the way, you liked socialising with other girls. -
Raftalia was silent for a while, and then with a satisfied smile began to answer.
- Yes, you are right, I really enjoyed socialising with someone else and becoming more feminine. I even felt better and I don't hold any grudges against Naofumi anymore, but that doesn't mean I forgave him for those words. let him feel guilty. -
Andrei chuckled a little and started talking.
- Let me guess, Miss Sonya taught you that. -
Without removing the smile from her face, Raftalia began to answer without stopping to walk forward with a kind of grace.
- I won't deny it, she told me the proper way to respond to rudeness, and how to deflect blame. She is a kind and beautiful woman, she is strong-willed and cares for all her pupils. She is also very happy for Lisi, she said that you are a very beautiful couple and complement each other. -
Andrew stroked her head with the same satisfaction and then started to speak.
- Oh, how lucky I am to have met all of you. You're my dear sister, Naofumi. Firo, Lisi is my love, Miss Sonya is a very wise woman. Even the slave trader uncle, in a way, hmm, if it wasn't for him, we never would have met Naofumi. -
Raftalia shrugged and began to answer.
- That's true, things could have turned out for the worst, but fate and the decisions of those close to us were able to change everything. But sometimes I fear that it could happen again, even though my bad dreams are gone, but what if we don't make it. -
In response to this Andrew immediately put his arms around her and stroked her back and began to answer.
- I promise you that this will never happen again, no one will dare to touch you, or Firo, or Naofumi. And when the time comes, I will personally deal with whoever it is we've been suffering from. Rabier will get what's coming to him and we'll free Rifana and all those left behind. -
Raftalia leaned against him and sighed in relief, she also stroked Andrei's back and then began to speak with relief in her voice.
- I believe you Andrei, we will cope with everything that awaits us, and then everything will be fine. We will live in happiness and harmony, and you will marry Lizi. I'm sure of it. -
Andrew once again stroked her head, and then gently stroked her cheek, and then with a little sadness began to answer.
- Of course sister, that's the way it will be. And now let's go on our way, we don't want our comrades to keep us waiting. Oh, you're so beautiful. I hope I will always be able to protect you and everyone I care about. -
Raftalia was a little puzzled, but she smiled and began to answer.
- You have always protected me, and you will protect me for a long time, but I am not a little girl who was afraid to hold a sword in her hands. And you're no longer the beaten young man who tried to live for his loved ones. We've grown stronger, and we've become a real family. -
Andrei just nodded and they continued walking. They came to Erhart's shop quite quickly, and once inside they were immediately embraced by Firo. She began to speak with a smile that was not unfaithful to her.
- Brother Andrew, sister Raftalia, I've missed you so much. Sister, you look very beautiful. -
After these words another voice sounded, which exuded surprise and at the same time something pleasant in its intonation.
- Not just very beautiful, but stunning. Where did you get such jewellery Raftalia? -
Naofumi said these words, he came out from the corner and with a guilty face carefully came closer to Raftalia and Andrew. Raftalia didn't say anything in response, she proudly raised her head and walked past Naofumi and went out the back door.
Naofumi looked at her and hesitated, he wanted to stop her and apologise for the words that came out of his mouth, but now he was too ashamed. Andrew seeing this gently patted him on the shoulder and began to speak.
- She's still a little angry with you, but she's forgiven you, the main thing is that you apologise. Your words almost made her cry, no one wants to hear rudeness from someone who is not just a friend. -
Naofumi nodded and began to reply.
- You're right, I was being a pig and I'm sorry. I'll apologise to Raftalia, but in the meantime, if you don't mind, you can tell me about your day. -
Andrei shrugged his shoulders a little and nodded, and then began to speak.
- Of course, of course, I won't go into details, but I'll tell you everything that happened. -
Naofumi nodded, and Andrei told how he had spent the day with Raftalia, without mentioning what he had done with Lisi. When the story was over, Andrei looked at Naofumi once again, and then began to ask questions.
- By the way, how was your day? The knights didn't chase you anymore? -
Naofumi looked unenthusiastically at his shield, then at Andrei and began to answer.
- The day was a bit uneventful, but the knights, they caught up with me. As it turned out, they wanted to help us. I told them that if they raised enough money, I would let them join us. -
Andrei smirked slightly and asked.
- And what did they say in response. -
Naofumi made the same thin smile and began to answer.
- They promised to collect the money as soon as possible, but I won't take it. Let them better spend the money on equipment, in my opinion they are already slightly trustworthy. -
