Chapter 131: Emeraldine's Growth

-----

It has been a day since then…

Today I ended up waking up quite early. Our caravan had not advanced through the night because people cannot properly rest if they're constantly moving around, so we made a camp in the middle of the road to pass the night. Since then, we have not encountered any humans, and there aren't any monsters around either.

We will most likely reach the Goblins today if everything goes well. So for now, I woke up and decided to stretch my phantasmal body a little bit, flying outside the caravan where I was. But, suddenly, I suddenly remembered there was a lake near here, right inside that small forest to the left of the road.

I remember that Takeshi used his Unique Skill, Fisherman, to fish a bunch of fish. The kid had leveled up a lot, so his magical fishing rod is capable of fishing incredibly easily now. Fish are his territory, and he caught us so many that we almost emptied the lake, and we managed to feed all the people. His ability is not only that, but the fishing rod can treat any physical object as "water" and pass through them. The hook of the fishing rod is very sharp too. He could quite literally fish even beasts if he uses it correctly.

He said he was even able to control the fishing thread around as if it were a snake he was moving and letting crawl around. With such amazing power, he could quite literally do a bunch of stuff. I wonder what other methods he could use the fishing rod for…

Oh well, for now, he's still a kid training his unique skill, but it is not as "shitty" as he always thought it was, in fact, Fisherman seems to be a powerful Unique Skill.

I decided to go fish some fish myself, as I knew how to extend my phantom into tentacles and catch fish easily. Although not as amazing and efficient as Takeshi, I might one day get the Fishing Skill! Who knows?

I flew towards the lake, imagining eating a delicious and fresh grilled fish that made my mouth water in hunger.

As I reached the lake, I suddenly heard the humming of a beautiful voice, and what I found in the lake was a beautiful… and wonderfully majestic Elven girl, with long yellow-gold hair, shiny emerald eyes, and a lustrous body that looked like it was made of porcelain. Her hips were wide, and her bosom was rather big, covered by her hair.

She was washing in the cold waters of the lake, while the waterfall behind her made tons of bubbles around. Oh right, this girl is… Wait, Emeraldine?! What is she doing here?

Ah, of course, she came to wash herself.

Now I feel like a creep spying on her while taking a bath naked… but damn, she has such a beautiful body…! I am so envious of elves. Look at those curves! What's going on with their genes?! Why are elves so goddamn perfect physically? Ugh, the tropes are right. Elves are sexy as hell!

No, calm down, Maria! You're not like this. I might be a pervert, but I've never been a creep! Maybe I am? Well, I am more worried about her amazing body and how I envy the elves rather than if I find her sexy or not because the latter is just a fact. Yes, she's a sexy elven woman.

I noticed that her body still was covered in scars, though. After all this time, I had almost forgotten she used to be a slave and… that she had gone through a lot of shit by herself.

She's always so happy, spirited, and cute that it makes me not even believe she was once a tortured slave used by others as… well, a sex slave.

She had grown a lot stronger since then. I can't even recognize her now. The fight with Elderlight was when she showed off most of her current and amazing might.

Emeraldine is really someone to admire… Just looking at her scarred body makes me feel bad, though. Poor little thing… It makes me so frustrated to think she went through so much suffering…

I know I had already tortured, killed, and devoured the souls of those nasty motherfuckers that did this to her, but even then, I can't help but still feel bad.

I wish I could have come earlier to rescue her… Sigh.

But even after all of that, she was still strong and perseverated and helped me as much as she possibly could… even when it wasn't necessary. She was the only former slave that decided to join me and even trained very hard to reach her current level of strength by developing her abilities.

pᴀɴdᴀ I wonder why did she even want to risk her life so much with us? Maybe she's just really crazy like all of us…

Although Partner did say the other day that she was… well, that she was interested in me.

Could it be? Is she with us because of me? Because of feeling gratitude to me or… something else? Maybe both?

"M-Maria-sama?!"

Emeraldine suddenly caught me. Her eyes brightly shone as she pointed her arrow at me.

"I-I thought you were some creep… I am so relieved it was just you," She sighed.

"Eh? Ah! S-Sorry! I just wanted to fish some fish for breakfast, and I ended up… staring at your scars," I sighed.

"Oh… even with healing magic, it's hard to heal them. They have been like this for years," She sighed.

"I-I see… Sorry for staring. I was also kind of a creep," I admitted.

"Oh… No, don't worry about it… M-Maria-sama… You would never be a creep to me… even more, it makes me happy that you were staring at my body… Y-You can stare all you want," She said while blushing, as she revealed more of her body to me while moving away the long hair covering her breasts.

"E-Eh?!"
