Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 56 Warmth of Love



*Growl…

Ah, I can hear my stomach started to growl and I guess it's time for us to go back now, we've been here since afternoon and now the sun was set already and now I can see the sparkle of the lightbulbs lit up, all kids seem to have to return to their house and neighbourhood start to feel more quiet now.

"Should we go home now and prepare the dinner Aura-chan? what do you want to eat?"

"Anything is fine…"

Aura-chan worked hard to withstand her anxiety towards men and finally able to held my hand and be selfish with herself once, I remember one time when I save her from that spiky-haired guy where her expression is so dread whenever she saw an adventurer, I think I need to make that spiky-haired guy apologize to Aura-chan and kneel before her.

I look at Aura-chan who is holding my left hand right now and her cute smile showed no dread and so beautiful, no matter how I look, she's in love right now and I just need to confirm it myself, I want to take risk and ask about her feeling myself.

"I'm sorry to ask this Aura-chan, but, how old are you again Aura-chan?"

"I-I'm eight…"

Wait, she said eight right? I believe you should be around ten or thirteen to apply for adventurer contract, and she's only eight? she's on the same age as me, I did expect her to be young, but I thought she will be around ten or eleven, but she's eight, then how did she get those adventurer contract?

I peek a glance again at Aura-chan and I think she still feel embarrassed for being too close to me, I can see her face blushing clearly, just a minute ago she's trying to be selfish with herself and being clingy to me, but now she's all embarrassed again, but well, that's the cute side of her, and I'm happy to be able to hold her hand right now, my heart feel all warm in this cold winter bite.

People might see us as two lovely siblings but we are actually keep a deeper feeling towards each other, at least that's what I believe, but I know we share the same feeling towards each other, and before that something start to bother me, Yuika….

No, it's not like I have a certain feeling towards her, but, I'm starting to worry about her, is it because we haven't meet in a while? she always play around with me since we were kid, I'm pretty sure Yuika now is having fun with her family and what should I be worrying for? my feelings are so assorted and I can't understand what is happening with me right now, I should be focusing on confirming Aura-chan's real feelings and tell it to Ilya-nee, she would be so happy to hear that coming from me and Aura-chan.

"E-Erwin-san..?"

I lost in my thought again, a soft voice blowing to my ear, and waking me up from my loss, I never thought of this before, but right now, when I see her face my heart skip a beat and feeling of a warmth spread through my whole body turn me into a lovelorn, just what a terrifying charm she got, what a natural born beauty she is.

That's right, it's only me and Aura-chan now, I can't let this chance slip away, I will tell Ilya-nee about this good news tomorrow, I will surprise uncle Alto and Elis-nee too tomorrow.

"So, can you explain to me where have you two been and what makes you to come home this late"

Ah, as I thought this would happen, the scene I see first when I get home is uncle Alto standing while crossing his hands, he looks angry but I can't sense any wrath on his expression, his breath feels hard and he's panting, I can see sweats coming down from his neck and he's trying to hide that.

"A-Alto-san…"

"I ask her to stay and have a chat with me when we were in town plaza, it's my fault, uncle Alto"

Uncle Alto glare and me and let out a deep sigh, but right after that moment, he back to his usual self, a rude but kind uncle.

"I was looking for you two around for a while because the house's key was in that pocket I gave you earlier Erwin."

"Pocket? ah, this?"

I give back the pocket filled with money back to uncle Alto, he reach out the key he's talking about and open the door, he looks relieved and just throw his body to the sofa and just went straight sleeping.

"I guess we should prepare the dinner for an apology, right? Aura-chan?"

"I-I'm sorry.. Erwin-san.."

"Don't worry about it Ilya-chan, I know uncle Alto is a good person, and you can call me Erwin from now on Aura-chan, I can call you Aura too without any honorific"

"B-but that's too…."

"Then I won't answer"

I look away and act all cold towards Ilya-chan, I want her not to call me with that honorific, it's too stiff and I don't want it coming from Aura-chan.

"E-Erwin..-sa"

"Alright, hold on there, one more time"

Alright Aura-chan, I won't let those honorific slip out your mouth, you will call me Erwin from now on.

"E-E-Erwin… *hauu…."

"Aura"

Aura-chan covers her face in embarrassment and trying to punch me on my shoulder, how weak her punch is, but she's so cute doing that.
