Another World Peace Creator Magician

Chapter 54 My Apprehension

"It's pretty crowded here isn't it, Aura-chan?"

"Ummhhh..."

No Erwin, no, this doesn't feel right, I've been trying to close the distance between us and she doesn't seem to try increasing our distance anymore, I'm happy with that just if I don't have this stupid conclusion going in my brain right now.

I understand why she's stuttering whenever she talks with me and uncle Alto, I know it's because of her anxious towards men, her blushes face when she shows her new dress to me and uncle Alto, it's too embarrassing for her to show that much of her skins, but I'm not gonna lie now that I think she had some special feeling for me, I really don't want to get over myself, but this keeps bugging me and I didn't realize that we already arrived at the town plaza and a hand poking me from behind while I'm at my lost in my mind.

"U-umm... Erwin-san?"

"Ah... I'm sorry Aura-chan, where were we going again?"

"Umm... we are already here"

Aura-chan pointed at the water fountain in the middle of the street, there are some people sitting there, I saw some couples cuddling each other, eating street food, there are also kids playing together and just running around the fountain.

How nice of them to get so clingy like that in the public, I hope I can be clingy like that with someone, ahh... just if I could confirm Aura-chan's real feelings towards me, but how if she's doesn't have that sort of feeling towards me? I don't want to die to an embarrassment for asking that and get a big no answer, gaaah..... what should I do....

But I can't stay like this, right? I need to confirm it, right? but how to start this topic though, I don't want to suddenly ask 'Do you like me?' to her, she would instantly slap my face in place without hesitation, I'm sure of it.

I think I will start a conversation and slowly turn the conversation into it and ask her directly.

"Aura-chan..."

*Growl....~

"Fuee...~"

Oh, how cute... she tries to hide it, the moment where her tummy starting to moan asking for some snacks. Aura-chan tried to cover her tummy and her face start to let out a steam and turn into a ripe tomato, I instantly laugh at it and Aura-chan is more embarrassed now, I know I shouldn't be doing that, but it's so cute and funny to be coming out from Aura-chan, she is punching my left arm while still pouting, I feel like she can ignore her anxious towards men when she's embarrassed like this.

"Pfftt... hahaha.... I'm sorry Aura-chan, but let me laugh a little more please"

"No.. no.. no... p-please just forget what you heard..."

*Growl....~

Okay, I think I should stop making fun of her tummy's noise and look for a food stall where I can buy a portion of food for her.

"You want a grilled skewers Aura-chan? it's been a while since the last time I eat a meat"

Aura-chan just nodded with her face still red, I think I will give her some of mine later for an apology.

I told Aura-chan to wait in the water fountain while I go and buy the food for us, I'm glad we made a good friend relationship, I guess I won't ask her about her personal feeling, maybe it's just me getting over myself, how foolish I am.

"Excuse me, two please"

"Alright, please wait.."

The smell of sweet spices when the chef puts those meat skewers on the grill, the smoke that coming from the grill floating in the air, tickling my nose with more of those sweet aromas that can make everyone who smells it can't refuse the urge to eat it.

"Here you go young lad, have a nice day"

"Thank you, have a nice day uncle"

I give the money and leave the stall, the uncle is waving at me with a big smile on his face, I guess all people around here are good people, or so I thought, before I see something troublesome is happening to Aura-chan right now, she got surrounded by 3 guys and I'm pretty sure they aren't some nice guys asking for direction to her or something, they must be hitting on her because when I come closer to them, I can see Aura-chan's troubled face clearly.

"Who are those guys"

I hurry up my footsteps and suddenly some big man with a black robe appears behind Aura-chan and touches her shoulders.

"Oi, who are you hah? want to mess with us the best adventurer here?"

That man is just standing still there, I'm slowing down my pace, I don't know why I did that, but my instinct told me that I shouldn't come any closer to them, and right when I don't continue to walk closer any further, a terrifying aura suddenly comes out from that person, sweats coming down my forehead and my legs trembling, what a terrifying aura he's letting out, won't he scared people around here with that?

I can't let go of my eyes from that person standing behind Aura-chan, I see the 3 guys trembling and fall on the ground, right after that the terrifying aura he let out is gone.

Ah, Aura-chan, I should hurry and help her.

I rush my steps and stand in front of Aura-chan, with a bit of my courageous I face this big person, I can't see his face clearly, the only thing I can see before he disappears is a green gem around his neck that is so dazzling and reminds me of something.
