TIMESKIP 1 WEEK LATER
Reed POV
It's been a week since the battle of in the coal pit, and we've been getting stronger every day. But we also have been getting used to each others company, and have time for ourselves, even if it is just a little. I mean, I sure love playing with Raphtalia with that ball I bought her, even if it is made of skin of a monster. Still haven't got used to that, if I'm being honest, I'll never be. I also told her that she can just think about what she wants to tell me when we are in public. Anyway, as of right now, we're trying to catch a porcupine that got the jump on Naofumi, stabbing his arm, although, I was told by him and Raphtalia to get some rest, given how I was the most injured when that dog bit my wing, so is just Raphtalia trying to catch it. Speaking of, in the week that has passed, she has grown to be a young adult, she looks like a teenager, probably 16 years old, give or take. But technically, she is still 10. And I gotta admit, she does look really pretty if I'm being honest. Alright, she is about to stab the little monster, when suddenly, I throw one of my knives, stabbing it in the head. She looks at me and comes with... the closest thing to a glare. Heh, cute.
Raptalia: I had that!
Reed: 'I know, but I can't leave you guys all the work and fun, y'know?'
Raphtalia: Hhhmmm
We then go to Naofumi, and see that he doesn't have spine on his arm, so I guess he gave it to the shield
Reed: 'S'up, Nao?'
Naofumi: Please, stop calling me that
Reed: 'Aww, come on, what's wrong with giving you a nickname?'
Naofumi: Everything
Reed: 'Oh no, anyway, what now?'
Naofumi: (sigh) I think its best for us to get new equipment
Reed: 'Oh right, that reminds me, I really need more throwing knives, so I'll give some to Erhard, so he can make more'
Naofumi: Who?
Reed: 'Erhard, you know, the blacksmith?'
Naofumi: That's his name?
Reed: 'Yeah, wait, you didn't know?'
Naofumi: No, when did he tell you?
Reed: 'When we first met, wait a minute, please don't tell me you've calling him Blacksmith this whole time'
Naofumi: I was more worried about watching out for myself than knowing people's name
Reed: 'Can't argue with that, so, shall we go then?'
TIMESKIP
We went to Erhard's but on our way there, Raphtalia was offered a lot of food. Guess some people don't hate demis as much as others. After some time, we finally arrived... Thank God, it was really getting annoying taking the offerings, at least Raphtalia shared some with us
Erhard: Wow, I hardly recognize you! You've turned into a real pretty lady
Reed: 'Tell me about it'
She blushed after I said that. Honestly is fun teasing both of them.
Erhard: I haven't seen you in a while. What've you been up to?
Raphtalia: Well, Reed and Master Naofumi have taught me table manners. I want to eat food properly, like they do
Erhard: Is that so? You've grown so much. Nothing like the pipsqueak you used to be.
She gave a pout after he said that. Yup, still cute.
Naofumi: You think so?
Erhard: Huh? Someone's hard to please
Naofumi: I'm actually quite shocked, too. This country is full of lolicons. I can understand finding little girls cute, but... (sigh) You people take it too far
Reed: 'Wait, what do you mean by-?'
Erhard: Say, kid. Don't you know what demi-humans are like?
Raphtalia: Mr. Erhard, forget that! We're here to buy armor for Master Naofumi
Reed: 'Don't forget my knives'
Raphtalia: Oh! And some knives for Reed as well
Naofumi: What are you talking about? We're here for your equipment
Raphtalia: I appreciate the thought, but think about yourself first! Did you forget how you just got hurt in the plains?
Reed: 'Ooohh, she got you there'
Naofumi: 'Shut it' No, but you need a weap-
Raphtalia: Master Naofumi. You'd best stop messing around, or you will die
