Chapter 542 The Person From Another World
I tasked Rika to watch over her. In the end, I decided to skip school for now and stay at home for the time being while the elf is currently in my mansion. It would be bad if only Rika is here. What if the elf will suddenly does something and harm her? We don't know how she will react so it would be best for me to stay until she wakes up and know what kind of place she was in and also help her stabilize in this world.
Nevertheless, we are now stuck waiting for her to wake up. Rika and I are there to wait for the elf to awaken. By the time lunch came in, I went ahead to the kitchen and started to cook our own food. That also reminds me that I will have to take the Cook Ex Job soon enough so that I can gain more profit in the game by cooking food and also help increase my mastery of cooking in the real world too just like how Mom managed to master cooking, allowing her to cook very well in the real world and in the game.
While I am cooking, Rika went outside of the room in a hurry.
"Manato! She is awake!"
Hearing that the elf has awakened, I turned off whatever I am cooking and rushed back to the room, and saw the elf slowly fluttering her eyes to open. She hasn't fully opened her eyes just yet but I can see that she has noticed us as she alternates her attention to either Rika or me who are standing beside each other as we observed her.
It didn't take long for her to fully open her eyes. The moment she opened her eyes fully, she retreats to the corner of the bed and releases energy on both her hands which I immediately deduced to be [Windblade], a tier 4 Magic skill of both Magic Knight and Magician. I must say that it was amazing how she can use [Windblade] but perhaps elves are capable of using wind magic easily.
"*#(_+*%#!()_+=!"
The elve started speaking something we both don't understand. Rika and I looked at each other and the former started shaking her head, stating she also does not understand what she was saying which is understandable enough. My speculation is that she is talking by using the elven language which does not exist in this world.
"*#%*#_+*#)(*)_+$#%!"
She started waving her [Windblade] at us while shouting words we still don't understand. Is this the feeling of meeting a foreigner who speaks their native tongue and does not speak either English or your own language while asking for direction feels like?
"Please calm down. I know you are confused and afraid, but please calm down and stop the [Windblade] from firing at us, alright? We are not here to harm you." I tried to talk to her, but of course, she will not understand me either but hey, if she understand what I wanted to say by making a bit of some action, perhaps she can actually understand what I wanted to properly say.
"*#%&&*&_+%#?"
She is saying something but she started to calm down. She still holds the [Windblade] but I can tell that she has already relaxed somehow. Still, she didn't bring down her caution towards us and would activate the ability again just to make sure that she is in control of the situation. I can easily subdue her by using my abilities and stop her but that would create a very negative view of us which is why I decided to avoid doing that to also stop the elf from being aggressive at us.
My previous attempts seems to have worked so I decided to continue to calm her down. I talked slowly and mildly at her while letting her relax and showing no aggression from us so that she drops her guard and diffuses the [Windblade] that she still keeps in her hands. If it failed, I will be forced to go on the defensive and restrain her before she can inflict more damage on us.
Thankfully, my efforts paid off and the elf stopped being hostile at us and relaxed as she diffuses the [Windblade]. She started to look around as she calmed down and is surprised that her clothes are different now.
"This is not good, Manato. We don't understand what she was saying and we don't even know how to relay our message to her. This isn't easy and I don't think we can easily just let her understand our main intention."
"Indeed, A big problem to be sure and we can't just openly interrogate her and we can't understand her so in the end..."
[rumble]
Before I can finish what I was talking to Rika, we heard a rumbling sound coming from someone's stomach. It was clear that it neither came from both me and Rika which caused us to look towards the elf who is currently rubbing her stomach. Even if we are in a different language, even the body functions are not capable of giving language barriers.
"You must be hungry, then perhaps I should go back to the kitchen and finish up what I am cooking. Just wait for a bit, we will be done in a few minutes." before going back to the kitchen to finish up the final touches of what I was cooking before I was interrupted by Rika due to the awakening of the elf.
It only took a jiffy before I was done cooking and once I was done with it, I carried a few plates of food for both the elf and Rika to eat food with. I handed both of them the food and Rika immediately thanked me for it while the elf was hesitant as she looked at the food I created after that. But it seems even if you deny it yourself, the stomach will give up first. And I think that indeed makes a lot of sense even for an elf.
