Our following destination is Ano's tent. I go toward Ano's tent while hugging Stolas' arm.
-Master, it's inappropriate for the master to hug a guard's arm like this. (Stolas)
-You don't need to care about that, Stolas. (Farah)
-But... (Stolas)
-No buts, Stolas! (Farah)
Stolas shakes her head and tries to take her arm off mine.
-I think I can't do that, master. (Stolas)
I utter a deep sigh. Stolas is really stubborn. I need to use that method to make her listen to me.
-Stolas! (Farah)
-Yes, master. (Stolas)
-I order you to let me continue hugging your arm. (Farah)
-Huh? (Stolas)
Stolas looks really confused at my order.
-I can't, master. (Stolas)
-You once told me you would follow every order of mine, right? (Farah)
-But this order is absurd, master. (Stolas)
-However, it's still an order. (Farah)
-... (Stolas)
-You will follow it, right? (Farah)
Stolas narrows her eyes and nods.
-Alright, master. (Stolas)
-Ehehe, I will make you strawberry cake once we go back to our tent. (Farah)
Stolas's eyes shine at the moment I mention strawberry cake.
-Hehe, once it's related to strawberry cake, you will show many emotions on your face. (Farah)
-You must be mistaken, master. (Stolas)
-Ehehe. (Farah)
Stolas points at the tent in front of me and informs me.
-We have arrived at Ano's tent, master. (Farah)
-Kyuuuu!
When we step inside Ano's tent, we can see Ano is talking to herself.
-With this and that, I can make this. (Ano)
I try to call her out.
-Ano! (Farah)
-Ahahah, I can finally develop a new theory soon! (Ano)
I shout Ano's name out loud. Ano finally notices my presence and turns to my side.
-Oh, Farah and others. How long have you guys been here? (Ano)
-Don't worry about it, Ano. We have just arrived at your place. (Farah)
Ano scratches her head and apologies to us.
-I'm sorry to let you guys see me in that state. (Ano)
-No, it's nothing. It's our fault to come here so suddenly. (Farah)
I take out a small gift box from the dimension pocket and give it to Ano.
-Is this a gift for me? (Ano)
I nod at Ano's question.
-Excuse me. (Ano)
Ano tears off the wrapping around the box and finds out a small bag inside it. Ano turns to me with an excited face.
-Woah, Farah! I can't believe you give me a bag with the storage function. (Ano)
Ano takes the bag and inspects it closely.
-From the mana trace I can find on the bag, I can conclude that you are the one who made this bag! (Ano)
-Ehehe, I merely cast some spells on that. (Farah)
-I will treasure it. Thank you, Farah. (Ano)
Ano looks at me with serious eyes.
-Excuse me, I want to do some research on this bag. I will meet you guys later. (Ano)
-See you later, Ano. (Farah)
-Kyuuuu!
After leaving Ano's tent, we head to the training ground with others. I instantly find Amy and Nina there.
-Sister! (Amy)
Amy instantly rushes to my side the moment she notices me.
-What are you doing here, sister? (Amy)
-I come here to meet Nina to give her something. (Farah)
-Sister Nina, no, captain is inside, sister. (Amy)
-Oh, Farah and others. (Nina)
Nina stares at Amy.
-Amy, what are you doing? (Nina)
-Eh, captain! I only want to welcome my sister to our training ground. (Amy)
-But you are in the middle of practising, Amy. (Nina)
Amy avoids Nina and tries to hide behind my back.
-If you don't return to practice, I will increase your daily training. (Nina)
-I'm sorry, sister Farah. I need to return to my training. (Amy)
-Don't worry about that, Amy. (Farah)
-Ehehe, see you later. (Amy)
Amy returns to the training grounds to leave Nina with us behind.
-It's rare for you to come to our training ground, Farah. (Nina)
I take out a long gift box and give it to Nina.
-Is it for me? (Nina)
-Yup, you can open it as you wished, Nina. (Farah)
Nina opens the wrap and finds a sword sheath inside.
-The sheath automatically changes the size, so it can fit any sword. It also has some hidden functions on its own. (Farah)
-Oh, I really appreciate your gift, Farah. (Nina)
Since Nina needs to return to practice, I say goodbye to Nina, then leave the training grounds with Kyu and Stolas.
-Are you done yet, master? (Stolas)
-Two more people haven't received my gift. (Farah)
-Who is it, master? (Stolas)
I choose not to reply to her immediately and take her to the forest nearby.
-Can you bend down, Stolas? (Farah)
-Yes? (Stolas)
Stolas listens to my request and bends down. I take a hair clip from the dimension pocket and put it on for her. The hair clip has a blue flower on it, and it seems to fit Stolas very well.
-What is that, master? (Stolas)
I take out a hand mirror and show it to her.
-Is it me? (Stolas)
-Ehehe, Isn't it cute? I think it fits you so much, Stolas? (Farah)
-I... (Stolas)
Stolas stares at the hand mirror.
-It's weird. (Stolas)
-What's wrong, Stolas? (Farah)
Stolas shakes her head.
-No, it's nothing. I will escort you back, master. (Stolas)
-Right, since it's too late, I will give Mashiro the gift tomorrow. (Farah)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night when I'm sleeping, I can feel someone shakes me. I open my eyes and notice Stolas stand right beside me.
-Stolas? (Farah)
-Master, I'm sorry for bothering you at this hour. (Stolas)
Stolas seems to hesitate before she continues her sentence.
-It may sound absurd, master. Can you listen to one selfish request of mine? (Stolas)
-Eh? (Farah)
-Can you have a duel with me, my dear master? (Stolas)
I go toward Ano's tent while hugging Stolas's arm.
Stolas'
-Master, it's inappropriate for a guard to hug the master's arm like this. (Stolas)

After leaving Ano's tent, I head to the training grounds with others. I instantly find Amy and Nina on the training ground.

Can you have a duel with me, my dear master? (Stolas)
Thanks a lot, lemme fix them
Their duel will begin soon
Was it the first time that Stolas had someone hug her arms?
Stolas's eyes shine at the moment I mention strawberry cakes.
-Hehe, once it's related to strawberry cake, you will show many emotions on your face. (Farah)
-You must be mistaken, master. (Stolas)
Looks like Farah has already succeeded in conquering Stolas's stomach, huh?
Was it many millennia since Stolas didn't receive a hug?
-The sheath automatically changes the size, so it can fit any sword. It also has some hidden functions on its own. (Farah)
It reminded me of avalon the excalibur hem for some reason.
I think it will be really fun and enlightening for Stolas if Farah uses queen mode in this duel
Thanks for the chapter
It's not her first time. It's more like she has forgotten that kind of feeling a long time ago.
Yup, the stomach is the easiest way to conquer Stolas
Right, she has long forgotten about the existent of hug. She has been too familiar with being alone.
Well, I will think about that since the fight is mostly about how Stolas solving her mess up emotion.
Thanks for the chapter OwO
Could it be that one of conditions for Stolas "capture" is winning duel with her/being stronger than her.
It's more about her feeling is being messed up by Farah. And she needs to calm herself down by doing that
You will know more about in the upcoming Stolas chapter
Thanks for the chapter
Somehow I feel uncomfortable with Stolas' request
Don't worry, it won't be messed up.
Our cute Farah will solve everything
Thanks for the chapter
Thanks for reading
Hihihi
