As the dirty corpses returned to the earth, Nacht looked at the young girl smaller than her that was in her arm.
“Oi, young lady–please wake up, oi.”
Although her heart thrilled from the first contact with a sentient being in this world, the young girl looked so sickly and did not move a finger.
“…..Isn’t this pretty serious?”
Unconsciously her words become filled with concern.
Although she could see that the young girl’s condition was weakened, unlike Real World Online she could not see her statuses like HP, MP, SP (stamina point), FP (food point), status abnormality, and the likes.
That’s why she did not know what should she do.
“Her breathing is weak…Oi, you, don’t die just like this–”
She laid down the young girl and then listened to her heartbeat.
The almost disappearing heartbeat sound just like the last struggle for life.
“–No. I can’t let you die like this–”
Nacht has two ways to save her.
Both have demerit, short and long term, however, she also felt that this is fate, and thus she choose to trust her intuition.
Her heart beating like crazy.
The more she felt conscious about it, the redder her face became.
But hesitating here was not an option.
And thus her hesitation disappears the next moment.
“–Hm.”
And overlapped.
At the same time, Nacht Origin Skill (race skill) Dragon’s Servant activated. In-game era, it was a skill to recruit a recruitable monster or NPC.
It gives the target dragon knight or dragon holy maiden, strengthening their status, and similar to tamer subordination skill, it completely heals the target if succeeded, just like when leveling up.
It was usually called blessing during the game.
Normally it should not be effective against real people (another player), but Nacht has a strong feeling that it would work.
A light green gush of wind blew. At the same time, a geometric pattern magic circle appeared under them.
They were wrapped in the gentle wind, and when the light settled–the young girl throat that has stopped started to move to drink the saliva and make a gulping sound.
The change was dramatic.
Flesh returned to her dried thin arms. Her blood circulation becomes better and a reddish hue started to return to her skin. The dying thin young girl was no more.
What was there was a healthy young girl, even the dirt on her body disappeared together with the light.
As if suffocated, her body moved slightly, and then she opened her eyes.
(Ah–)
Nacht becomes flustered, but Aisha trembled because of something else.
She just lost her consciousness, and when she opened her eyes, a goddess kissed her.
The other person has power than rivaled goddesses, even letting them touch her dirty body would be rude of her, that kind of thought was in her emerging consciousness.
But those sentiments washed away readily by the kiss of the fiend.
The inhumane beauty as if wanted to challenge goddesses to melt into her. Her mind blanked, and her body desired for more.
She could not hold herself, but when she about to reach out not only with her lips but also her tongue–
“Ah–”
Aisha was attacked by feeling as if losing something important.
Because Nacht who come to her sense has moved her lips away from hers.
“No, this is, not what you think–ah, it’s that! A first-aid treatment! Something like CPR! Yes. That’s why it’s not like I do it because your lips look delicious! Certainly not, ah–”
Welp, she just admitted it herself.
When she noticed it was too late.
Aisha shrunk her body as if embarrassed, and Nacht felt that the eyes that looked at her seem like looking at pervert.
Of course, that was her own delusion, but the fact did not change that despite she said it’s the first aid, she also enjoyed herself, and thus the feeling of guilt inside her was enormous.
“Ah, I–am–no, esteemed being, who are you…?”
“No, as I said it couldn’t be helped–hmm, what? I (male), no, We, no, no, I–I am Nacht–Nacht Schatten. You could call me Nacht-chan if you want.”
She said it carefully as to increase, nope, to reduce the chance of her favorability plummet even more.
“No, I wouldn’t dare! Ah, thank you for saving me! I-I am, my name is Aisha.”
“You don’t have to be so nervous…”
“No, of course, nyot!”
However, looking at the trembling Aisha, Nacht finally remembered something.
Aisha must have felt like prostrating herself because of the coercion of Nacht passive skill ‘(south) dragon might’ and ‘(west) dragon surge’.
A dragon might prevent low-level monsters to get close, and even if they could break free from it, dragon surge would give bad status ‘weakness’ and ‘silence’ on a certain percentage of chance based on level difference.
Nacht cut off her coercion skills.
Quickly, the air becomes looser, and Aisha let out a relieved sigh.
“Are you alright? Let’s talk after you calmed down.”
Nacht tapped the ground with her leg twice.
Instantly two chairs made from earth appeared.
She clasped her hand and suddenly a desk appeared from nowhere.
It was the application of earth type magic, ‘create golem’. Originally it was a skill to create low-level dolls to be used as walls, however, after coming to this world the application widened. If she was more proficient, Nacht thought it would not be impossible to create a massage chair.
“Sit here.”
Nacht encouraged Aisha who still looks reluctant to sit.
“Y-yesh!”
Although the power of coercion has disappeared, perhaps because the first impression was too strong, Aisha still looks nervous.
“It’s fine to be more at ease. I want to get along with you. You are the first person I met in this world after all, and also my partner.”
“Fueh! That means…”
Aisha trembled and then shrinking her body again.
“Well, I will tell you after this. But first, since this is our first meeting, let’s introduce ourselves.”
“Ye-yes….but, Nacht-sama is a God right? On other hand I am a worthless person, I don’t dare to act familiar with Nacht-sama…”
After saying those words, Aisha curled her body again.
“God, huh…I think I am similar to you though? I am half-human, well, the other half was kind of a scary monster though.”
Nacht felt slight distress from the little girl’s overestimation. Of course, being stared at with eyes filled with respect was not bad, but since she already her follower it’s not that comfortable.
Although she knows it was kind of selfish of her, Nacht still wants her to treat her like a comrade.
“You are also half-human right, the other half is–elf, isn’t it?”
“Ah, yes. I am…a half-elf…”
Somehow she looked a bit embarrassed.
Half-Elf. In the game, Elf characters were pretty popular because it has good look. Although they were still mostly male players who use female elf characters…
During Miss Real World Contest that held every year, the winners also mostly elves. By the way, Nacht was also chosen as one once, and she was pretty proud of it. Behold the power of around $1000 microtransaction on the character’s appearance.
That to say–
“You have beautiful ears–”
Nacht praised the pointed ears that she could see for real for the first time.
It was totally unconscious action.
“Fu, fue…? Beautiful…? Although it’s different from everyone else…?”
“Hm? Well, it’s elf’s ears, right? It’s the great elf’s ears every elf worshiper wants to lick you know! Of course, it’s adorable. If you say it’s bad because it’s different, then I am the most different among everyone, right?”
Because she is not even a person of this world.
Of course, she did not say the second half.
“Adorable…… M-me? ….Fueeeeennn…hiks…”
“Do-don’t cry! Did I said something wrong…?”
“Hiks…N-no, it’s not like that…None other than my dad have ever praised me for it, so I feel happy…I am happy…”
For someone like her to be in this forest alone, Aisha must have a lot on her plate. Even Nacht could guess that much.
“I see. If possible, I want you to tell me everything. Including why are you here alone.”
The quiet dialogue between the two started in the darkness of the forest.
