Chapter 313: The Awkward Child
The more the Child chatted with Miss Boffis, the more embarrassed he felt.
He had always been the type who wasnāt good at interacting with the girls. The cuter she was, the weaker he became.
But, he could interact with ladies like Sister Hyphen, treating her like a brother.
When he saw Jiu Er for the first time, he was nervous. But after seeing Jiu Erās terrifying behavior of smashing the enemy into pieces, his nervousness about facing the opposite sex disappeared immediately.
The shyness was replaced by a strong sense of fear.
He had a hunch that if he accidentally triggered this monstrous girl, she would come at him ferociously with a battleaxe.
As for Citalopram and Doveā¦ When the Child met them for the first time, he was pretty nervous. However, since Annan appointed him as a captain, he wanted to make himself reliable.
Fortunately, although Citalopram was young, she was mature and tacit in dealing with people. She was keenly aware of the Childās nervousness and kept her distance from him.
Apart from discussing serious matters, the two hardly ever chatted at all. This made the Child breathe a sigh of relief.
As for Doveā¦
When the Child realized Doveās age range, he suddenly became less nervous.
In the end, the tension came from caring about the other partyās evaluation.
This tension immediately became more apparent when he was alone with Miss Boffis.
āJulian, Julian!ā Boffis said coquettishly to the silver-haired male elf whom the Child acted, āStop daydreaming. Talk to me!ā
The Child stood in front of the massive tree with a glaive.
Boffis put her hands behind her back and circled him and the tree, āHow is your [Vine Strike] practice?
āShow me, Julian!ā
She seemed to have inexhaustible energy, her footsteps didnāt stop at all, and her voice didnāt become low-spirited because the Child ignored her. Instead, she kept looking for topics, āJulian, did you fail to learn it? Iām quite strong, ya. Would you like me to guide you?ā
ā
Hiss
ā¦ā The Child gasped for breath.
How should I put this?
I think Iām enchanted.
ā¦Iām actually interested to learn about flying.
But if I fail to learn it, will I be exposed?
This worry deterred the Child from saying anything too informative before learning more about the situation.
The only good thing was that this āJulianā he enacted seemed to be a taciturn character.
Therefore, the Child hadnāt revealed any flaws yet.
The Child was silent for a while, then murmured in a low and solemn voice, āWeatherā¦ā
āWeather?ā
āThe weather is really nice todayā¦ā
āWhat the hell is that!???ā The Childās words amused Boffis. She laughed non-stop and rocked back and forth.
Her amused reaction even made the Child wonder if everyday daily greetings were a dad joke in the context of elves.
ā¦Is it that funny?
However, seeing that the current atmosphere seems to have improved somewhat, the Child coughed lightly and asked cautiously, āBoffisā¦ What did you eat this morning?ā
ā
Yeah?
Why do you ask that all of a sudden?ā Boffis was also a little stunned by the Childās question.
She was stunned for a while and then replied probingly, āI had grilled fish, fried bread, and milk.ā
ā
Ah
, a hearty breakfast.ā
ā
Eh? Ah
, do you think I eat too much?ā
āNo, no, no, Iām just sayingā¦
Ah
, could it be a little unhealthy? Because it contains too much fatā¦ā The Child stammered a little when he spoke.
The conversation was too confusing and awkward. Even the cheerful Boffis, who was happily circling the Child, had stopped. She looked at the Child with a puzzled expression.
Realizing that the conversation was awkward, the Child was silent for a while, then suddenly changed another topic, āBoffis, what do you like?ā
āā¦
Huh, eh
?ā Boffis felt even more confused.
After thinking for a long time, she asked cautiously, āWhat do I likeā¦? Are you going to give me a present, Julian?
āIn that caseā¦ just ordinary accessories. Sparkling ones, and not too expensive.ā
Julianās way of asking questions that were too confusing made her ponder, āwhat exactly is Julian talking about?ā Her hands behind her back unconsciously clasped together.
ā
Ah
, okayā¦ā The Child was even more nervous at Boffisā response.
He was hoping that Boffis would answer something like āI like that giant machineā or āI like the deer in the street,ā and then he could follow along with something like āWhat is that, tell me more?ā
In the end, Boffis said politely to him, āI like it as long as Julian gives it to me.ā
ā¦So what should we do?
How should I continue the conversation?
Itās hard to talk with peopleā¦
Please, someone in the stream? Someone help me outā¦
Wait, I better donāt.
It would be better not to activate the live stream function.
Otherwise, they would probably laugh at me as a virgin who has never been in a relationshipā¦
The Child hadnāt even confessed to girls since school days. If there were no confession, there would be no lovelorn.
āThen, Boffisā¦ā The Child was silent, then suddenly cut to the subject, āHave you heard of Frostwhisperian?ā
āā¦
Uh?
Eh?
Wait, I did hear about themā¦ Are you interested in Frostwhisperian?ā She was a little confused by the topic bumping around.
Boffisā face was gradually tainted with fear as she took a step back subconsciously.
Julian doesnāt like to talk. Is it because he becomes so strange when he talks?
The two looked at each other, silent for a while.
ā
Hiss
ā¦ā As if infected by the Child, Boffis couldnāt help but gasp for a breath.
She took some time to manage her emotions and chose to talk about this topic for the time being.
She didnāt know what other strange topics the Child would bring up.
āFrostwhisperianā¦ Speaking of which, my mother has a nice collection of paintings.ā Boffis recalled and said carefully, āThe Elegant Elder drew the paintingā¦ The painting depicts the Old Grandmother.
āThat painting is amazing! The Old Grandmother can even fly in the painting and make a terrifying roar. Her roar is capable of penetrating out from the limits of the painting and affecting our world. She had even left frost traces on the rock floor on the street.
āIf you look directly at that painting, you can acquire Advanced Influence like āthe Remains of the Frost Deityā. That painting is in my house, but I canāt show you. After all, Julianās body is still too weak. If your physique is not firm enough, the Old Grandmother in the painting may freeze you to death.ā
Boffis no longer suffered any sanity drop from weird topics when the Child listened to her quietly.
She could not help but be secretly relieved and quickly found the next topic, āSpeaking of which, did your mother teach you how to improve your physical fitness? Iām proficient in it too.ā
Great, the atmosphere is gradually getting better.
It seems that I have finally become familiar with her and got some strange information.
The Child was delighted.
He was about to ask, āHow do you view your mother?ā and wanted to ask for more information.
But, he found it too embarrassing to talk about topics suitable after becoming friends, and he didnāt know how to become friends with girls.
This is so difficult.
The Child couldnāt help but sigh.
āā¦
Ah
, yes, by the way, Julian! Are you interested in [Wind Dancer]? Let me tell you, my professionā¦ā
This is too hardā¦
Boffis was frightened by the Childās awkward chatter that she dared not stop. She could only try to find new topics while crying silently in her heart.
