Ethelarion Replisis(2)

Chapter 16: Ethelarion Replisis(2)

Arthur, hearing the gentle words from the one half-elf's mouth asking him if he is alright, answered her with a light "hmm," as he didn't have any energy left in him to talk right now after eating those 7 big-ass fruits.

He even felt surprised that he didn't throw up in between, despite his skinny appearance.

'I really wanted to check and see what Ethelarion Replisis is.'

He is excited, but right now, under the watch of these two elves, he didn't want to act suspicious, so he had to hold off his excitement for later, when they would leave his room.

But looking at their faces, which didn't seem to have any intention of leaving him at the moment, made him a little nervous, as being watched by two beautiful ladies was very new for him.

And from everything he had witnessed up till now, they seemed to care too much for him.

From the look of it, they are also the ones who have saved him, as the last thing he remembers was losing consciousness in the cave.

Arthur is not naive enough to not realize that they have feelings for him, which he would keep in his mind, but he didn't have the time or even the courage to face that right now.

After eating the fruits, his eyes were heavy. It felt like he would fall asleep at any moment, and both Liora and Lyra had noticed Arthur trying hard to keep his eyes open. They could see he was exhausted and could fall asleep at any moment.

And to them, it looked like he was trying not to sleep because of their presence, as a vulnerable man like Arthur couldn't just sleep in front of two women like them.

Both of them looked into each other's eyes, and just from looking at each other, they came to the conclusion that they had to leave his side now, as they couldn't just stay inside his room.

It would surely create a lot of trouble for them and, more importantly, make him uncomfortable.

Arthur was about to ask them if they would leave, as he wanted to rest now, but before he could say anything, he heard both their voices.

"Arthur, we are leaving now. You can call us if you need anything," Zyra said.

Liora, standing beside her, agreed with her words.

"And Arthur, even if you have forgotten your memories if you ever feel scared, I will help you. You can come to me anytime you want," Liora chimed in after her with a loving expression on her face.

Zyra, her friend, whose mouth twitched a little, as generally, Liora isn't too bright, but when it comes to Arthur, she somehow outsmarts her.

But Zyra couldn't just stand there doing nothing as she quickly added,

"You can come to me too. I will help with anything you want."

Zyra felt the eyes of her friend on her, but she didn't satisfy her by looking at her, as even without seeing her face, she could already imagine the smug look on her face.

Arthur, who was witnessing everything while lying down in the bed, had a natural smile on his handsome face, seeing both of them fighting over him.

Arthur, in his previous life, who was used to getting bullied quite a lot, had developed a natural ability to read the room, as his emotional intelligence was quite high.

So, for him, just from their subtle expressions and the tone of voice, he easily understood what was going on between them. He found this situation quite funny and emotional, as in his previous world, not even a single girl would show such emotions toward him, but right now, two beautiful elves are fighting over him.

'Ah! It's good to be handsome'.

From his previous world experience, he already knew for a fact that looks absolutely matter, and now, being handsome, he would take full advantage of his good looks.

'But I have to quickly get used to talking to women.'

'I can't just stutter and blush while talking to them.'

'I don't want to be like the previous me.'

'It's pathetic.'

So he replied to them without stuttering this time, but there was still a blush on his face, as their words had stirred quite a bit of emotion in his heart.

"I will."

The smile on his face was still there, which even he hadn't realized was there to begin with, as he couldn't even remember the last time he had smiled.

But for Liora and Zyra, seeing the genuine smile on his face, they seemed to become dazed for a few seconds.

Zyra, who was the first to come out of the daze and had a neutral expression outside, looked at her friend, who was openly drooling while looking at Arthur with a blush on her face.

While her internal feelings were not much different from her friend's, she was not the one who would easily show her emotions outside. It was already quite a big deal for her that she had become dazed just from his smile alone.

'I would have died a few times if an enemy were nearby,' Zyra thought.

Even while deciding to leave her family, the teachings she had gotten from them were not something that would leave her, as they had become a part of her.

She quickly said goodbye to Arthur while dragging her friend with her, as she didn't want him to think they were creeps, as Liora's current behavior could be considered creepy from the perspective of men.

She knew her friend was quite beautiful, but she didn't want to risk being labeled creepy.

While she looked quite average in terms of elven beauty, however, she didn't wait for the day she would be able to walk with her true appearance both in front of Liora and her love, Arthur.

Unknown to her, Arthur, who had seen Liora's previous reaction, finds her quite adorable, while it's still a mystery to him why she suddenly became like this.

'It must be something of this new world that I didn't know of. While I had seen the memories of the previous Arthur, which were in pieces,

'But I got a basic understanding of the things in this world.'

However, he had to learn everything little by little about this new world if he wanted to survive here.

Seeing the receding beautiful figures of both of them, he still couldn't believe they were interested in him, especially Liora, who seemed to openly show her emotions toward him. He is excited to meet her next time, but for now, he wants to focus on the red floating message he had seen earlier.

He is feeling quite sleepy right now.

However, his excitement to see the golden finger he had gotten is keeping him wide awake, and now, finally, seeing the wooden gate close itself, he thought of the red transparent screen he had seen earlier and tried to make it appear.

And in his first try, the message from earlier, which he hadn't properly read previously, appeared once again in front of his eyes.

His breathing had become a little haggard due to fear and excitement over what awaited him, as this would be the thing that would likely decide how his future was going to be.

[You have become the owner of Ethelarion Replisis.]

[Ethelarion Replisis is now completely bound by your soul, and none can take it away from you, even if the gods descend upon the mortal world.]

[For you, who are now the sole owner of Ethelarion Replisis, the cosmos awaits your mighty tale.]

[It wishes you luck and hopes you won't fall before showing its true might in the cosmos.]

Only after reading these few lines did his breathing become even more erratic than before, and even his body shook in excitement because of how grandiose the words sounded to him, and his expectations had become higher now.

A new message appeared on the red transparent screen, replacing the previous one, and after reading what was written on it, a shocked look appeared on his handsome face as he froze in his bed.
