Chapter 8: Please. I beg you.
After that short conversation with Roka, the child became less fearful of me.
Now, even when I was in the house, the child would walk around. Although she still couldn’t make eye contact with me. But just the fact she’s not running away could be considered a great improvement.
She’s getting better faster than I’d thought.
If someone were to observe her changes day by day, her progress would appear rather slow,
But if examined weekly, then it’s way faster than expected.
Even when I feel lonely or sad, the Lord is by my side, helping me. But the child lacks such support.
‘It would be nice if Roka had a friend.’
Would she like a cat or dog to keep her company?
......Or would that be offensive? Truthfully, I don’t know much about the beastkin culture, so I have no idea.
The beastkins live in the northeast of the Empire, a place I had no reason to visit.
During my adventuring days, the place I visited the most was the Western Continent, the Demon Realm. I also went to the Elven Forest, Alfheim in the Southeast. Not anyone can have the opportunity to visit the Elven Realm.
