Chapter 46: Scylla

"..."

"..."

Both Zera and Mia stared at Eli and the bluish-black haired girl.

"Hmmm..." Zera rubbed her temples while Mia looked at Eli's body.

'Deep breath'

"So what you are saying is" Zera pointed to the bluish-black haired girl, " That girl asked you for food so you brought her here, right?"

"Yes" Eli affirmed.

"Then what the hell are you wearing?" Zera glared at Eli who wearing nothing but a piece of ripped cloth around his hips and it is enough to cover his crotch.

"...Well, she doesn't have clothes so I ripped the robe enough for both of us" Eli shrugged his shoulder.

Zera then turned to look at the girl who was wearing two pieces of clothes that covered her lower parts, 'Wow that's bigger than my mother's' Zera thought as she looked at her boobs which is tightly hidden behind the cloth.

The girl suddenly went behind Eli.

"Do you have any extra clothes?" Eli asked.

".....Here" Zera looked at Eli few seconds then took her phone and typed something then suddenly clothes appeared in front of Zera.

Eli picked the clothes and,

"Here, you can go and change the dress" Eli pointed to his Tent.

"...." The girl looked at Eli, then took the dress and walked towards the tent with slight unsteadiness.

After the girl left, Eli asked, "Where is Adriana?" because she didn't come and pick instead her summon bat suddenly appeared and showed him the way.

"...." Zera's eyes shined and said unhappily, "You cannot call my mother by her name".

"....Then how should I call her?" Eli didn't get offended or anything.

"Her...."

"Who you are going to call?" Suddenly Adriana appeared beside Zera and questioned them. nove(l)bi(n.)com

"M-Mother" Zera was surprised.

"....Nothing much..." Eli thought for a second and then said, "Ms. Adriana".

Adriana frowned but she didn't say anything because she almost guessed what happened.

"Where did you go?" Eli then changed the topic.

"Well, I had some business to take care" Adriana said carefreely.

"I see" Eli nodded his head.

'Why do I feel like I am being treated as air?' Mia thought.

The girl wearing a simple red shirt and pants came out of the tent and looked around,

"ahhahh" Scylla awkwardly smiled.

"My name is Eli, Who are you and what happened?"

"My name is Scylla"

"Then?"

"Then...I was kidnapped and sold as a slave" Scylla hesitated a little.

"I see" Eli nodded then he turned to look at her dull blue eyes.

"..."

"..."

The silence was maintained between them after that,

"Wait for a few more minutes, I will give you some food" Eli smiled warmly.

"...." Tears formed in her eyes as she caught his hand and didn't say anything.

"...." Eli looked at her few seconds and let her do what she wants.

After that Adriana's bat appeared and lead them to the Campfire, Scylla didn't speak a single thing during the walk and Eli didn't disturb her but Scylla tightly held his hand.

"I understand" Adriana nodded her head.

While Zera and Mia's eyes twitched as they thought, 'What's with the partiality? We didn't hear that much...'.

"Okay, then what?" Adriana questioned him.

"I will give her some mon..."

"NO!" Scylla suddenly shouted.

Eli then looked at her teary eyes, "....don't you want to go to your family?".

"I..I don't have a family" Scylla's dull eyes shook a little.

"Is that so.." Eli didn't get into the details because he clearly sees that she must have a rough life but, 'Why is she trusting me so much?'.

"I-I work for you" Scylla said with a glimmer of hope.

"I don't think I can prov..."

"I-It's fine, just one meal per day, I can sleep on the floor and I will wash your dress and clean the room" Scylla didn't let him finish.

"...." Eli just stared at her.

'Why is she so adamant about being with him?' Adriana frowned while Zera didn't think much and Mia just looked at Scylla's hand which was holding Eli.

After pondering enough, Eli said, "Okay"
