The Hero With The Power of Song (Female Reader x Rise of The Shield Hero)

Episode 11: Wings of Light

.....

Malty said she would catch up.... it's almost night...

....

Cloud: Biki? Biki?

I snap from my thoughts and look at Cloud. I don't know how long I've been standing in the lobby like this...but...I can't help but worry.

Cloud: Malt is taking a long while.

(Y/N): I know Cloud....She said she wouldn't take long.

Now I'm worried that she is taking long...very long...

Crane: She wouldn't come faster, even if your waiting for her.

Madam Crane came up to me and held my shoulder.

Crane: Come and sit, have some tea that Miku made and relax.

(Y/N): But I can't. What if something is wrong? Maybe she needs help?

Crane: I trust Malty that she is doing the right thing. And you should trust her too.

(Y/N): But-

She held her staff Infront of my face.

Crane: She trust you, doesn't she?

(Y/N): Yeah...But-

Crane: And you trust her, yes?

(Y/N): I do, but seriously, what if-

Crane: Then sit. Relax. And wait.

She walked back to one of the seats and sits down. I looked back out the window and to the sky.

I can't just relax. Every nerve in my body is saying that something is wrong...

Miku: Would you like some tea, hero?

Miku walked up to me with a sweet smile on her face as she held a cup.

(Y/N): ....Maybe Crane is right...just relax. Everything is fine.

I accept the cup from her and look down at it. I gently blow it before taking a sip.....

Miku: How does it taste? I tried some different leaves this time. These were growing for a while so they might now be-

(Y/N): It's....Bland...

That surpriseed Miku. That also got Miss Crane to look at me.

Miku: B-bland?

(Y/N): Not bland...no... it's like it has no taste...

Miss Crane put down her cup because quickly approching me. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a vile with some green liquid in it.

Crane: (Y/N), drink this.

(Y/N): Huh? What even is-

Crane: Drink it!

I apprehensively take it from her. I give it a sniff, but nothing. So, I put it to my lips and swallow it all. It doesn't have any taste either.

But, telling by Miss Crane's reaction...I don't think it was made to be drunk.

Crane: Impossible...That can't...

(Y/N): What even was this?

Crane: A special mixture that has no smell but a strong taste, a reverse of smelling salts. But...you had no reaction to drinking it.

(Y/N): Wait, I wasn't supposed to drink it?

Crane: No. The mixture triggers a gag reflex when it touches the tounge. It's impossible to drink one drop, let alone the entire thing.
