Chapter 13: Who am I?
Liora knows Zyra is lying; however, she doesn't argue with her as she doesn't want to look like a rude woman in front of Arthur, who is watching them. But she has noticed how her friend, who usually doesn't act much, is acting like a Playwoman trying to charm Arthur.
'I am not going to let this b***h flirt with innocent Arthur, who probably doesn't even know what she is doing.'
She could have easily used her magic to stop the fall but she intentionally hold him off with her hands.
The reason why Zyra is acting a little different and showing more of her real personality is because, today, after seeing Arthur nearly die in front of her, she feels helpless.
Thankfully, Lady Green was present and helped them, as even though she had reached a Channeler rank, she still wouldn't have been able to cast the spell Lady Green cast because it required her to be one rank above Channeler rank.
'Just a few more months, and I'll be gone from here forever with Arthur and my hopeless friend, after getting his approval to buy him and make him free.'
She knows this is the hardest part; however, after seeing how he blushed in her arms, unnatural to his aloof personality, she is more confident now.
Arthur is lying on the bed, still having a light blush on his face, being so close to these beautiful women inside a room. However, he still gathers his courage to ask them how he got there, and more importantly, he also wants food, as hunger is killing him right now.
'So hungry! I really want to eat something,' he thinks. However, he doesn't know how to ask them. At last, he decides to bring up food in their conversation naturally when he asks them how he got there.
But before he can even speak, the shorter elf, who is around 5 feet 6 inches tall and currently wearing a strange modern-looking black guard uniform with some symbols inscribed on it, moves closer. Arthur isn't concerned about the symbols; it's her large bosom that catches his attention, despite his trying to avoid looking at it before.
But now, seeing her moving closer, he can't help but stare at it hidden behind the tight black uniform. He knows these clothes might seem inappropriate in his world, given how tightly fitted they are, but he's seen in the previous Arthur's memories that wearing such clothes is quite normal for women here.
However, for someone like him, he can only blush deeply and stare at blossoms. Liora notices how Arthur is acting quite differently today, as he's blushing hard and not even looking at them properly.
As for him looking at her chest, she doesn't think much of it, as unlike men, whose chests are their sacred parts, women sometimes even walk with a naked upper body during summer, so she doesn't consider it a big deal.
Reaching in front of him, she moves her hand to touch his head to see if he's sick, as this unnatural behavior could be because he's ill or something.
"Arthur, are you sick? Or are you feeling any pain? Your face doesn't look good.
"If you need something, you just have to tell me; I will give it to you."
Zyra also finds his behavior a little weird, as his face is still red even after she lets him go. She doesn't think Arthur is some shy type of man. While every woman has fantasies about having a shy and cute man, she loves him however he is and doesn't want him to change because of this.
Arthur is feeling overwhelmed with everything that is happening, how they're treating him, and having no experience with women. He only freezes and blushes in response.
'If I keep acting like this, I think they'll suspect something. I don't know if it's common for someone's body to get possessed here or not, but I don't want to take a risk.'
But talking to them normally while they're being this touchy is hard for him.
"Arthur, why are you not answering me? Don't you remember me? I am Liora, the guard whom you usually meet at night and ask permission to go on your treasure hunts."
He knows who she is; however, he can't talk normally at all when they overwhelm him with questions, especially when her hand is still on his forehead.
"Your forehead is a little hot, but I don't think you have any sickness."
Arthur now fully realizes he won't be able to act like the previous aloof Arthur in front of them when he can't even talk properly with women. He knows he's still pathetic even after getting such a handsome body, but it's not easy for him to forget his traumatic experiences with women from before, which are still clear in his mind.
So, he decides to say something that won't make them suspect his unusual behavior and fits perfectly with his current situation.
"W-Who a-am I?"
Both half-elves, hearing his stuttering words, freeze in place, understanding the meaning of what he just said.
'Has Arthur lost all his memories?'
They both look at each other, understanding the seriousness of the situation. But for these two elves who have already given their hearts to him, with the intention of keeping him as their houseman, this doesn't change anything.
Looking into each other's eyes, they nod, seeing it as their responsibility to help him remember his past.
While they feel tempted to trick him and declare themselves as his lovers, they know if he regains his memories in the future, he will surely despise women like them who take advantage of him when he is vulnerable.
They also feel obligated to protect him from other hungry elves who might easily take advantage of him. Looking at each other's eyes, they share their intentions.
'We're not going to let poor Arthur get taken advantage of by others.'
So, they consider being as gentle as possible with him, assuming he probably thinks of them as two strange women he has seen right after waking up.
But before they can start telling him about himself and everything else he needs to know to live normally, they hear a meek voice coming from Arthur.
"H-Hungry."
Hearing his words they curse themselves for not realizing he'd be hungry after waking up, lost as they were in his new behavior, which they find very cute.
Because they know Arthur isn't like those men who try to act shy and cute in front of women to take advantage of them. He is genuinely shy and embarrassed right now.
'I don't know why, but Arthur has become much cuter than before,' Liora thinks.
'So cute,' Zyra thinks.
While they loved the previous aloof Arthur, they dreamed of having an innocent and handsome man who would act shy in front of them, but only to later realize that such men exist only in fake dramas that humans watch, not in real life.
However, the current Arthur is a perfect treat for their eyes.
Arthur feels embarrassed to act like this in front of them, but he thinks this is the safest option for him to go with right now, to avoid attracting other's attention with his unusual behavior, which he can't control while being in front of two such beautiful elves wearing such sexy clothes. This only makes it harder for him to think as he perfectly imagines their body shapes in his mind.
