Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Riveria Visits Emiya
Alicia wiped away the non-existent tears from the corner of her eye and reached out to caress the boy's cheek...
Just as she was about to succeed, a pair of slender arms reached out from under the bed and grabbed Alicia's feet.
"AHHH!!!!!", Alicia, who was doing something guilty, screamed in shock.
"What's that noise, have those two crazy elf girls sneaked in again?"
Airmid kicked open the door and cautiously scanned the room.
Emiya also woke up, "What's wrong, Miss Airmid?"
Airmid looked around and, after confirming there was nothing unusual, nodded, "Nothing, I just thought I heard a strange noise..."
Under the hospital bed, Ryuu tightly covered Alicia's mouth, while Alicia glared fiercely at her.
The two elf girls communicated with their eyes.
Alicia: ["You crazy girl!"]
Just met and being called a crazy girl, Ryuu was furious.
Ryuu: ["You're the crazy girl, you cow elf, what were you just about to do to Shirou?"]
Alicia: ["I, I couldn't help myself..."]
"It's good that nothing's wrong."
Airmid looked at Emiya, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a complex tone: "Shirou-kun, you need to be more restrained with those two crazy... with those two elf girls."
Emiya: "???"
Under the bed—
Ryuu put a finger to her lips, ["Keep quiet."]
Alicia nodded: ["I know, of course."]
In this situation, once discovered, neither of them could explain themselves.
Ryuu released her hand covering Alicia's mouth, and the two maintained a silent stance under the bed.
Under the bed were some boxes, the space was not very spacious, and to avoid touching each other, the elf girls had to maintain twisted postures.
"Miss Airmid.", A young girl in a white nurse uniform peeked her head in from the door, "A guest has come to ask if Mr. Emiya has woken up, she wants to visit Mr. Emiya."
Airmid frowned, "It's not another elf girl, is it?"
The two crazy elf girls from a few days ago had already given Airmid some psychological trauma.
Aisha, an Amazon patient seducing male doctors, was not the first case, Airmid had long understood the nature of this race—it was precisely because of this consideration, for the physical health and injury recovery of all male patients, the hospital did not have a single Amazon female doctor or nurse.
It was just that Airmid didn't expect, apart from Amazons, even the seemingly dignified and pure elves could have such a side.
So much so that she began to wonder, what kind of "monster" could turn the solemn elf girls into that.
"Hmm...", The little nurse hesitated, "It is indeed an elf girl."
"Another elf girl.", Airmid glanced at Emiya with some dissatisfaction.
Emiya was completely puzzled, having just woken up less than an hour ago, he had no idea what was going on.
Airmid's look at him was very complex, with one part reproach, two parts disdain, and ninety-seven parts curiosity.
"Yes.", The little nurse said: "The guest who came is Her Highness Riveria, the 'Nine Hells'."
Ryuu & Alicia: ["Her Highness Riveria?"]
Airmid's gaze turned to Emiya again, she was quite shocked: "The 'Nine Hells'? That Riveria is also one?"
Emiya: "...Riveria?"
Airmid, "She's the vice-captain of the Loki Familia, Her Highness Riveria, the 'Nine Hells'."
Although Emiya knew a 'Riveria', she was not the 'Nine Hells', just a young and lovely ordinary adventurer from the Demeter Familia, Emiya had never met Riveria from the Loki Familia.
"What's between you and the 'Nine Hells'...", Airmid asked curiously and gossipily.
Emiya shook his head, "I don't know the 'Nine Hells'."
"Is that so.", Airmid was somewhat disappointed, the gossip about Riveria, the elf princess, was much more interesting than those two crazy elf girls.
"Then do you want to see her, Shirou-kun?", Airmid asked, in the hospital of the Dian Cecht Familia, patients were absolutely prioritized, even if a first-class adventurer wanted to visit, it depended on the patient's willingness.
Emiya nodded, "Although I don't know the reason why the 'Nine Hells' wants to see me, but if it's Her Highness Riveria, of course I won't refuse."
He had already learned from the goddess Hephaestus that he owed his rescue to the Loki Familia, so Emiya naturally felt grateful to the Loki Familia.
Moreover, Emiya was also curious, what reason would a big shot like Riveria have for coming to see him.
This was the vice-captain of the Loki Familia, the relationship between the Hephaestus Familia and the Loki Familia was quite good, but could he, a newcomer who had just reached Lv.2, be of any help to Riveria?
.
.
.
Riveria walked into the hospital of the Dian Cecht Familia, she passed through the tidy corridor and came to the innermost room.
Then, Riveria's forced smile froze.
"What does this mean?", Looking at the sign that said "Crazy elf girls are not allowed to enter", Riveria's expression almost didn't hold.
The nurse who was guiding her was somewhat embarrassed, "Uh... this was posted by Miss Airmid, it's not referring to you... anyway, Your Highness Riveria, please come in!"
Riveria took a deep breath, with a complex mood, she entered the room.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Emiya-kun.", Riveria said somewhat cautiously.
Emiya: "Hello, Senior Riveria."
Because of the familiar name "Riveria", Emiya subconsciously looked at her for a while longer.
For some reason, he felt that Riveria seemed a bit, afraid?
'How could that be.', Emiya shook his head, dismissing this unreliable thought, 'She's the vice-captain of the Loki Familia, a first-class adventurer with Lv.6 strength, how could she be afraid of me, must be a misunderstanding."'
"Sorry, Senior Riveria.", Emiya said, "I can't get up to greet you, it's a bit rude."
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh subconsciously, 'It's like a goddess.'
Not counting the female gods, Riveria was definitely the most beautiful person Emiya had seen in this world, she had perfect features that could only be seen in sculptures or paintings, her emerald green hair like a flowing waterfall of green gemstones, cascading down her waist, sparkling with brilliance.
Her skin was more flawless and delicate than pure silk, her figure was just right, Riveria's attire was very conservative, she wore a long dress, with a cloak behind her, and black stockings on her lower body, almost no extra skin was exposed, but this couldn't block her charm at all.
From her, Emiya felt the solemnity of a warrior, the nobility of royalty, the ethereality of a fairy, and the gentleness of a mother, these qualities intertwined, elevating Riveria's charm to a level that even gods would envy.
Seeing the boy's somewhat nervous reaction, Riveria gently brushed her hair, "It's me who's being rude, visiting you before you've fully recovered."
She was also secretly observing the boy in front of her, but so far, Riveria hadn't found anything strange.
This child, whether in appearance or figure, could be called top-notch, but as for what Alicia called the "elf slayer", Riveria didn't have any special feelings.
'Did Alicia misunderstand, but, she did awaken a special skill.', Riveria thought.
The appearance of the skill [Elf Bond], Loki and Alicia didn't hide it from Finn and Riveria.
Of course, Riveria felt that Alicia's thinking from bond to rope, from rope to XX tie, then to collar, X slave was a bit too radical and jumping.
This elf girl, since returning from the dungeon, her mental state had not been quite right. Moreover, from her inexplicably rich knowledge system, it could be seen that in the past, Alicia was not really as pure as the title [Pristine Garden] suggested.
However, if the skill [Elf Bond] was really related to the boy in front of her, Riveria had to be careful.
After all, so many elf girls joined the Loki Familia because they trusted and admired Riveria, whether as a princess or as the vice-captain, Riveria had to be responsible for them.
If Emiya Shirou was really the "elf slayer", then she must find a way to deal with it...
"Senior Riveria, thank you very much, it's thanks to you that Ryuu and I were saved.", Emiya slightly lowered his head, speaking very sincerely.
Riveria could clearly feel the other's sincere feelings, she relaxed a bit in her heart, "We adventurers should help each other, and I should also thank you for saving Lefiya and Alicia."
She paused, "They are safe and sound, thanks to you, Alicia has also leveled up to Lv.5."
"Sister Alicia has leveled up to Lv.5? That's great.", Emiya was somewhat surprised, and genuinely happy for Alicia.
Riveria thought, "This child, calls Alicia 'sister'."
'He directly calls Ryuu by her name, calls Alicia sister, but calls me 'senior'.'
Riveria always felt that she was being called old.
After all, she was only a few hundred months older than Alicia, and at most less than a thousand months older than Ryuu.
"Emiya-kun, the age difference between me and Alicia, actually isn't that much...", Riveria said, gently twisting her hair with her left hand.
Alicia under the bed: ["Wait, Your Highness Riveria, you're at least fifty years older than me..."]
Emiya vaguely felt that Riveria's words about her age were a bit guilty, but still spoke, "I understand, Sister Riveria."
His tone when addressing Riveria was very natural, because Emiya didn't know the specific ages of these elf ladies, he only knew that Ryuu was eighteen years old.
He thought, Ryuu was eighteen (actually eighteen), Alicia should be twenty (actually over forty), Riveria was probably twenty-five (actually over ninety).
So calling her "sister" wasn't wrong.
Riveria pursed her lips and smiled, "Mmm."
What a good child, the psychological pressure accumulated from being treated respectfully by elves every day was instantly reduced.
Riveria reached out and ruffled Shirou's hair.
"Shirou, next weekend, that is, seven days later, our familia will hold a banquet at 'The Hostess of Fertility' to celebrate Alicia's level up."
Riveria knew that Emiya lived at the "The Hostess of Fertility" tavern.
"Mm, by then, I should have fully recovered.", Emiya said, "To celebrate Sister Alicia's level up, if there's nothing else to do that day, I'll cook."
Alicia: ["Shirou is going to cook for me, he has me in his heart."]
Ryuu: ["!!!"]
["You're not allowed to eat the food Shirou cooks!"], She fiercely pinched Alicia's face.
Alicia: ["It hurts, idiot, let go quickly, be careful not to be discovered by Lady Riveria."]
Riveria's long ears twitched, her expression darkened for a moment, then returned to normal.
After some time of conversation, she felt that she had come to understand this child called Shirou.
Polite, strong, gentle, kind... and, the smell of his magic was exceptionally clean, he was definitely a good child.
