Chapter 45 She Hates me?
"At least this will reduce the pain, and is your back fine? you got shoved into the wall though"
"*nod *nod"
"I see, don't push yourself alright? Erwin, give her hand here"
We've been waiting for uncle Alto for like 15 minutes sitting in this alleyway and what I've been doing for that 15 minutes is just accompanying her and calming her down, I wish I could do more than that, I wish I had healing magic that would work in time like this.
I only have healing cube magic to use and it only helps to heal external wounds and not something like this, I blame myself for not being able to be useful at a time like this.
I give the girl my hand and wrap it around my shoulder, she's trying to move but with faltering steps, I tried to hold her tight but I can't watch her trying hard just to walk in her condition.

"Please excuse me"
I let go of the girl's hand and princess carry her so it will be easier to move with her around.
"Uncle Alto, let's rest for a bit in that building"
I refer to the tower we are planning to visit so uncle just nod and we quickly get in that building.
We enter the building and all it's all dark if we close the front door so I told uncle not to do that because it's already dark inside, this tower actually looks like an abandoned building but somehow looks clean because I can't sense dust or anything that can tickle my nose.
"Wait, I believe that this building has electricity, let me find the lamp switch"
"Alright"
I saw something like a chair vaguely so I might better put this girl down to rest there, I look at her and notice that her breathing is kinda heavy, this might be the reason why I feel a warm air blowing into my arm when we are on the way here.
As I put her down I can't really see her face, I'm afraid that she still feels the pain in her body that causes her breath to be heavy, and right when I focus on trying to check her condition, the light got turned on.
"Ah it turned on"
I relieved that now I can check on this girl's condition and easily and what I found is.
Her face, it is as red as a tomato, she looks in pain with her heavy breath so I instantly push my hand to her forehead.
"Oi, are you okay? did you catch a cold?"
Her clothes are thin so I thought she got a fever because of the cold weather and need to be taken care of, or else it would be bad for her body.
"Awawawa…. I'm fine, I'm fine…"
She tried to avoid my hand from touching her, her face blushed and it makes me more worried because there's no way she's fine right? just what in the world happened to her here.
I went along with what she wants and try not to get any closer to her, she is still as red as a tomato, I almost can see steam coming out her head and she is trying to cover her face with her hands.
"So girl, may you tell us your name?"
Oh, uncle Alto is back, I wonder where did he find the switch at, he just suddenly appear from behind and put his hand to my shoulder.
"A-aura…"
"Pardon me?"
"Aura…"
"Oh, Aura-chan is it? I'm Alto"
Uncle Alto slap my back softly.
"Ah I'm Erwin, please to meet you"
"Ah… pwease..to..meet…"
Wait, is it me or I just heard something funny coming from her mouth, I heard uncle Alto let out a chuckle and he covers his mouth then turn his face away, the girl looks so embarrassed and her face boiled, I can see a more steams coming out from her face, I constantly wipe my eyes and thankfully I only imagining thing, if steams actually coming out from her face that would be something to be questioned.
"Ah forgive me, I don't mean anything rude *chuckles"
Why are you still laughing uncle Alto? just what are you laughing at?
I look at the girl and wait for her to calm down, I tried to pull a little chat to wash away the awkwardness, but this girl is still covering her face for some reason.
I look at uncle Alto in awkwardness and he just let out a sigh, he walks away to the stair and going up, why is he doing that in this situation? can he lend me a hand to get out of this situation? we need to help this girl uncle!
I just looking at uncle Alto going upstairs with a black stare, I look for another chair for me to sit at, my legs are starting to feel numb.
