Demi-human Girls Completion Manual-Chapter 943 - 40: The Lustful One, Part 2
"No... it’s not because... well, it is indeed like that."
Tangze Asuka wanted to argue, but under Helair’s smiling expression, she lost her energy and nodded with some embarrassment.
As previously mentioned, Tangze Asuka keenly felt the subtle distancing from Fisher. This is not to say that he disliked her, but it’s more like people at different levels naturally have barriers, just as in her own world, "reliable adults wouldn’t have many topics with naive high school students."
Tangze Asuka thought that the possible reason was her immaturity and lack of special talents like others in the team. Of course, this couldn’t be blamed on her, and there was nothing she could do about it, she could only try her best not to be a nuisance.
"I just think they are all impressive, I... can’t really find my way into the conversation, so..."
Upon hearing this, Helair’s smile deepened slightly. She quietly looked at Fisher and Hooked Kiss chatting with Qiong over there and said to Tangze Asuka,
"Well, whether impressive or not is another matter. You, as the transferee, are clearly interested in this world, so asking them is not something impossible. Finding a topic they excel in makes it easy to bridge gaps and you might even learn a lot. I can share with you a little about their interests and hobbies..."
"Mikhail loves creating things, but he doesn’t talk much; Hooked Kiss is very interested in medicine and is quite friendly; as for Fisher, I’m not quite sure about his strengths, but it seems you’ve seen it before... oh oh, besides, he’s actually very interested in demi-human species, very very interested, discussing these with him might lead to unexpected outcomes."
"Interested in demi-human species?" Tangze Asuka’s expression changed, she secretly looked at the earnest Fisher over there, not quite understanding what it meant.
"Ah, don’t misunderstand, it’s academic interest."
Helair bit the word "academic," as if this concept was essential. She spoke with ease and took out a small tool from her bosom, putting it in Tangze Asuka’s hand. Upon careful inspection, it was the same type of carving knife Fisher previously used in engraving magic, she added,
"And this, it’s the tool Fisher used before, not sure what it’s for, but here’s one for you. Anyway, just remember to approach them from their areas of expertise, be proactive, and don’t be too restrained~"
Tangze Asuka opened her mouth, grasped the carving knife Helair handed her with gratitude, but still felt somewhat insecure,
"Th-thank you... but I was always bad at things before... I’m a bit worried, so... but I really appreciate you telling me these things, Helair Angel."
Helair shook her head with a smile and kindly said,
"You’re welcome, after all we are grasshoppers tied on the same rope now, a harmonious team atmosphere is what I’d like to see. Alright, off you go, remember, demi-human species, he’ll be very interested."
"Yes, I’ve noted it, thank you."
Tangze Asuka hid the carving knife and walked back, while Helair remained there, motionless, her smile growing brighter and her mood seemingly improving.
In her peripheral view, she noticed Lu Ming, who was hiding behind the wall corner and sneaking a look, unlike Tangze Asuka who just secretly watched, she boldly whistled at Lu Ming,
"Whistle!"
Scaring little Lu Ming, who jumped and disappeared.
...
...
"The Count Hyou came here?"
Fisher and Hooked Kiss beside him were not idle either, they were chatting for such a long time because they had just learned that the Count Hyou from the neighboring Zhong Country was visiting, the one who had recently reincarnated.
"Ah, yes, Count Hyou arrived this morning. As customary, newly reincarnated elves visit surrounding kin to announce this event, this time is no exception. But no worries, visitors to the Holy Land celebrating the King’s Birthday concern all elves, you’ll soon join me to meet Uncle Chun, it can also be considered as helping him out of a tight spot."
Qiong finished speaking with a sigh, as Lu An outside had prepared horses and carts for them, Qiong invited them to go together to Uncle Chun’s palace to meet the two lords.
Helair showed no signal, like she was idle, leaving Hooked Kiss to step in and agree, planning to lead everyone to Uncle Chun’s Palace, but fortunately Fisher asked another question after getting into the cart,
"What did you mean by ’helping out’? Is Uncle Chun facing some trouble?"
Qiong entered the cart, hearing Fisher’s words, sighed, and whispered,
"Well... truth be told, Count Hyou was like many other elf lords before, very violent. His nature changed greatly after reincarnation, far less than before, and the subordinate races can finally breathe a sigh of relief... but not until recently I found out that although many of his bad habits have changed, except for one..."
Tangze Asuka returned, following behind Mikhail onto the cart, she glanced at Fisher drawing his attention, but she’d already obediently sat down when he looked back, while Helair quietly got on the cart, without any airs, then gazed out the window at the scenery.
