"I mean, I was strolling for some time and I did not see any harmful animals," Yanarym added wanting to smack her head for exclaiming that this was not a dangerous forest. She sounded like she was living here for some time! Stupid!
"I insist," Lapil uttered firmly, which made Yanarym couldn't refute him anymore. If she continues to decline, isn't that too suspicious?
"B-but --I'm taking a bath." She attempted to reason out for the last time. And he let her arms go, thank goodness, he was willing to let her go. Interacting with another main character would not be good.
"I'm not going to watch you," Lapil said politely, which stunned her. "I'll guard you and take you back to your family."
"W-why? My Baba is cheap, he won't pay you even if you do that."
"It's alright." He affirmed with firm eyes and smiled at her. "I don't mind." She minds, she minds! Why would he even persist in coming with her? She's taking a bath!
