Beyond of the Scale

#28 - Animating a depressed farmer 🥳

Lilia's affectionate embrace warms my heart as I feed on some fruit. The basket empties slowly, and my confidence fills me again. I love eating fruit so much that I find myself wondering why my peers don't try.

I never thought much about eating meat when fruit was everywhere. With the basket empty, Lilia stands up and catches my eye with those green eyes reflecting the morning sun.

[Lilia]: Shall we go to the guild? - She looks at me expectantly.

[Shindora]: Sorry, Lilia. I still have some things to discuss with the farmer. - I answer with determination in my eyes and chest raised.

She looks at me with amazement and then fear.

[Lilia]: Y-You... won't... won't eat it, will you? - Her question with a trembling voice breaks my heart.

[Shindora]: Why do you think of me like that?! I won't eat anyone! - I scold her offended.

[Lilia]: S-Sorry... I... I didn't mean to hurt you...

[Shindora]: {sigh} - I let my anger out - It's okay, Lilia. I forgive you, but don't judge me like that anymore, okay?

[Lilia]: {sigh} Okay... Sorry... But what are you going to do? -Right after the sigh of regret, curiosity falls into her words.

[Shindora]: I'm going to save a poor man! - Standing up, I say my goal with my chest puffed out.

[Shindora]: "Wasn't it 58?" - I ask the 'voice of the mind' suspiciously.

AN INTERRUPTION IN AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT IS NOT HEALTHY

[Shindora]: "You let me suffer?!" - I snorted indignantly.

EMOTIONS NOT RELEASED WHEN THEY SHOULD, ARE CUMULATED UNTIL THE MIND OVERLOAD AND POSSIBLY CAUSE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA

[Shīndora]: {...} - I'm silent in thought as I enter the farmer's house.

The farmer is in the attic, to get there I have to pull one of those retractable ladders on the ceiling, so I go to Lilia.

[Shindora]: Lilia, can you pull up that ladder? - I point up with my tail and look in the same direction.

With a confused face, she grabs the end and pulls, then a ladder stretches down to the ground. Where do I go up to the farmer.

Nose in the air, I make a beeline for the back of the attic and there he is on his stomach looking down at the floor. He lifts a fearful gaze in my direction.

[Nayte]: Finally decided to kill me, dragon?! - Screams with a tone of indignation and fear.

I don't say anything, I just approach him, while he picks up something to 'defend' himself.

[Nayte]: I'm waiting... COME!!! - Raises a stick with hostility.

I don't mind getting hurt as long as I'm just as hurt physically as he is mentally. He keeps walking without stopping, receiving countless blows.
