Surprisingly, Aniele decided to come with me and refuse to leave my side even if she was aware that I was going to war on the battlefield. I really thought that she would be staying here or wouldn't be close to the battlefield but it seems like my guess was wrong.
But I do understand why she wanted to do so… I am the only one that she knew in this world and with me leaving her. Aniele would be having a hard time trying to do anything as she wouldn't know what to do.
Though if I am going to be honest, if she rejected that to come with me. I will persuade her since I feel like we can't be apart for now.
There's still a lot of unanswered questions and for us to do that would not be a good move. As who knows, the demon might know who Aniele was and target her. So if we are separated, there's no way I can protect her.
Protecting someone… I can't even protect Riku and here I am trying to do so yet again.
This time I believe that I could somehow do that… I did receive a few additional power ups but the most important thing is that I have unlocked an Advanced System. I do not know what it does yet as I don't have that time to look at it thoroughly.
Who knows that it might give me something that could make me even stronger… because there's a skill tab, talent tab and of course status tab. Those are the main things that I would be exploring later on this day.
For now, I should focus on finding a place where we could stay for the night. As that would pose a problem if we didn't find one when the night time came.
With no money and our appearance like this, the chances of getting a roof under our head is hard. But no matter what, I still need to find one as who knows there might be a person that was kind enough to help us despite our appearance.
…
An hour later…
Despite my positive thoughts on this matter, I still couldn't find anyone willing to help us.
Everytime I tried to approach someone in this village, they would all try to avoid me as they started to walk away from us very quickly.
Though I do understand that they are afraid of us as who wouldn't… Even me wouldn't be doing so but at least talk to us first here.
But seeing the situation now, I supposed that camping outside was the only choice we had. The sun is already gone and the moon is already up there in the sky. Most of the village is probably at their house so there's no way we could be asking people again as there would be no people here at all.
We could knock at the villager houses and ask for their help but I decided not to do so. Because when I think about it, they probably would think us as a creep or someone who would do bad to them. Plus it's not like they would let us in either way.
"Aniele? Are you okay with us camping outside of the village… as it kinda looks like that the situation wasn't in our favor at all here." I said that to Aniele.
"What choice we had here, as long as you wouldn't leave me… then I will be fine with that," Aniele then let out a sigh as she said, "I never thought that humans were like this… I always thought they were kind beings but it seems like I was wrong."
"Well there's a kind human out there that would help us no matter what, it's just that not that many humans are like that. Most of them do the act of kindness in order to gain something beneficial for themself." I said that portraying the truth of the human.
"Humanity sure is a greedy and selfish one." Aniele then looked at me, "Though you seem to be different, you are kind and considerate… Even back in the temple, you could probably do something but you didn't resist that much and just let it be." Aniele said that.
Aniele is right, I could do something more or even try to explain myself but I did not. Though the reason for that was quite simple… I hate arguments and that kind of stuff, as I am a loner. I always walk away from that matter as it doesn't matter what happens.
It's not like people are going to remember me or at least want to do something afterwards if I do that. So that habit always stuck to me despite being transmigrated here in this world.
I would like to say that to Aniele but I am sure she wouldn't be able to understand that. Only a loner does know what it feels like.
"I simply hate arguments and looking at that situation, it's not like they are going to listen to anything I say. So it's kinda pointless for me to say anything there." I simplified my reason so Aniele wouldn't ask me again about that incident.
"But still, it's great that you get out of there as it isn't like the temple is the right place to be. They do worship the wrong Goddess after all… Who was that supposed to be? It doesn't even look like Goddess Enous at all." Aniele said.
"About that, remember when I asked about the Goddess before… I do ask whether it's a male or female because in this world. Apparently the Goddess Enous was depicted as a male and-"
When I was just about to say that stuff even further… An unknown voice suddenly reached out to me in the dark.
"Hey! Both of you there… What are you doing here at night like this?" That person said that towards the both of us here.
